    I think like you said, Tarsier's interpretation of the character's like the teacher or chef or guests, etc, etc is sort of mirroring how children may view people in positions of power (in an exaggerated and twisted interpretation of course), the teacher in particular having the long neck is I think just a testament to how as kids we are often afraid of that one teacher we feel is always watching our every move. I also really love the lady and find her fascinating for many reasons but I could ramble forever about that so yeah... I loved the video, hope you get some recognition :D

      Thanks so much, glad you liked the video! Yeah there is so much symbolism packed into each of the monsters, the Teacher is particularly creepy to me. All of them are very well designed.

    Who else is hyped for LN3?? I hope that Supermassive Games is able to carry the torch adequately and not just rely on spooky horror tropes.
    Some things I wish I talked about more:
    1. Mono's compulsion to enter the TVs. I wish I elaborated more that I interpret this as Mono being drawn to adulthood.
    2. The dinner guests from LN1, I didn't really talk about them but should have made it clear that I think they represent the people who "consume" others, be that through entertainment, greed, or plain 'ol sadism.
    3. The gnomes. I think the gnomes represent kids who are abused and their trauma severely debilitates them, preventing them from "growing up." My video isn't about trauma, so I didn't include it, but maybe I should have at least mentioned it.
