The Toll Of Being A Middle Child In This Family Is Inconceivable

Always a delight to find out that a silly guy is also a horny slut

"The Visit" - Little Nightmares Short Comic

Anyways, I love batshit insane, bastard Thin Man. It's my favorite interpretation of him, and is actually what I believe him to be as in Little Nightmares 2. Let me explain.

At first, I liked the interpretation of the Thin Man wanting to save himself from repeating the same mistakes, only to be trapped in a time loop. This paradox is cool, but that's too hopeful for a game like Little Nightmares.

The world of LN is twisted, and cruel. Innocents turned guilty. Victims becoming abusers. Regular people becoming monsters. Children becoming Adults. And I think... The Thin Man is no exception to this rule. I think, he is most definitely a bastardized version of Mono.

A twisted view into what kind of monster Mono becomes, if he doesn't let go of his grievances; which, spoiler alert--he doesn't.

That older, more selfish version of the little paperbag boy who becomes so obsessed after his betrayal, that he was willing to kill his younger self for even trying to take his "friend" away from him. Similar to The Lady who hungers like her Guests', I think he is under the influence of the transmission's broadcasts like his own Viewers as well, in order to distract himself from the betrayal that happened to him.

After all, how do you sit in a chair for so long? The answer is by being distracted and preoccupied, of course. I think he doesn't allow himself to think about it entirely, because it'd make him spiral badly.

And when Mono finally opens the door to his room, that distraction is interrupted.

And while yes, I believe that he isn't even known to be real by the residents of the Pale City, I think he still influences them somewhat via the Transmission, and he is the blueprint on what makes every adult so monstrous and so one-track minded. His influence is just THAT strong.

Besides, he is the big bad of LN 2. You should feel sorry for the circumstances that lead him to why he chooses to remain in his seat, but not for the atrocities he commits because he's an adult that's purely powered by his instincts: which is to retrieve his long lost companion at all costs. Which, he doesn't even succeed at, seeing as to how he keeps snagging the wrong kid every damn cycle.

It's this neglectful nature that spurs on the generational abuse, and in turn, keeps the cycle going. Getting physical isn't the reason abuse exists, it's always been neglect; Physical only comes next either on it's own, or an after effect of neglect. Which is also why I've began to dislike the idea that The Thin Man has good intentions, the moment he is "set free" from his prison.

You can't expect a person to stay sane and clean after spending a lifetime in the belly of a huge beast that's constantly consuming him. And that, I think, is the case of The Thin Man; He is no longer the sweet little boy who just wants to keep his friend safe as much as possible, these intentions of his have been twisted to the utmost extent that he becomes obsessed. Possessive. Isolating.

Keeping his friend safe is no longer the priority, it's just keeping his friend by his side for as long as he can, whether she wants to or not.

As for the relevance of the topic to the comic? This comic is actually just a concept scenario of "What if, he knows who his friend really is, and knows where she lives". But I don't think The Thin Man canonically--nor fully-- is aware of the fact that The Lady might actually be the very person who he's looking for.

He is a paradox caused by his own actions, and his inability to break free from this toxic mindset. After all, the adults of LN are all monsters in their own way. And the most normal looking ones? They're typically the most depraved.

Well, that escalated quickly. Sorry for low quality ✌️

i am going to bite him

Hi I haven’t posted in a while huh

i love this character so much......i hope they get seriously injured and almost die

A couple glasses of wine in and I’m ready to start ranting on why Tomura is such a good villain and why he makes One For All look like a side piece—

Someday I'll draw someone other than the Monkey King, really I took screenshots of interesting moments when I was reading JTTW, and when I recently viewed them, I couldn't get past an excerpt that seemed to me an interesting idea for art

But you are doomed to a few more arts with this mystic monkey, because I have problems with memory, and I forgot to upload here (and to my other platforms) a bunch of Wukongs that I drew for animation. People probably don't even remember that I draw it anymore, and I'm ashamed that I can forget even about important things haha😬

The Coraline movie and Sally Face are eerily similar and I love it like

- the protagonist has blue hair and pronouns and a dad with terrible posture

- the sidekick character knows all the lore, believes none of it, and has that Scoliosis Slouch(tm)

- Cat.

- the basic plot is “curious kid moves into a new apartment (or something similar), their parents don’t really care what they get up to, and so they proceed to make a really weird friend out of pure convenience and find out that ghosts are real and they’re being specifically targeted by some terrifying entity that takes on the form of people they know. Meanwhile their friend takes a hot minute to realize the protagonist is not actually crazy, or if they are, at least they aren’t a liar and the building really is extremely possessed. Also there’s a cat, and the cat is a little weird.”

- also there’s multiple super weird cryptic neighbors who are… rarely dressed, for some reason. One of them has a weirdly plot relevant connection to their pet.

So...did u get deja vu?
