      That actually kind of makes sense considering six and the music box in the final act of Little Nightmares 2 . We see her listening to it at the beginning of the game, and we see her going crazy trying to protect it in her monster form. Mono is just as obsessively linked with the TV's as well as the Thin man....so maybe the signal tower assigns specific roles to people depending on what their deep obsession/desire is? The lady wants youth and beauty, the teacher wants to be in authority, the doctor wants to experiment with his patients etc.

    • @turkdelightplays
      @turkdelightplays 3 роки тому +17

      The Maw means stomach in japanese, so I think the consumption/obsession symbolism is very relevant. Definitely a twisted manifestation of Six's fear, but I believe that the locations and characters in the Maw represent key parts of Six's life before everything got twisted and obsessive.

    • @Aadira1987
      @Aadira1987 3 роки тому +13

      I love this metaphor, because then you could also say that Mono is innocence and how you can become a product of your experiences.
      He was good and even though Six dismissed him, he kept saving her, even when she tried to kill him in the tower. He was the caring side of society, the people who are just good. But it only takes a drop to overflow the glass and when Six 'let him go' he became resentfull.
      Locked up in his head, until the memories come to surface and then he revives the memories over and over again...Obsessed with the one moment that turned him...

    I love the theory that Six is the Lady, and recently Tarsier said that the only thing separating people from being Residents on LN world is to lose their inner child.
    So, taking that into account and knowing Six does eat the Lady and gains her powers, destroying any trace of innocence she could have left. Therefore, she grows to be the Lady.
    As Mono´s fear was to be alone and he ended up, well...alone and his own enemy, let´s think about Six a second. What would Six´s nightmare be, then? In a world where every adult is crazy, she´s afraid of growing old.
    And just like Mono´s fear was to be lonely and reached out through the transmission, Six´s fear is to grow old and stops it by absorving the life of those around her. Hence, her hunger. In a weird paradoxical way of the events, neither of them can escape their fate and end up destroyed by their own actions.

    You mention that “prehaps she once lived in the pale city” and i wanna point out that there is a very big almost confirmation that she did live in the pale city that ive seen no one talk about, and everyone just gloss over. To find ome of the glitched remains you have to go back on yoursef and go into another apartment room. In that room we see a lady doll like the ones that you see in the first game, and when you smash it you get the achivement of “ladylike” and the description “hello? have we met?”. Also in that room you see a picture of the lady on the dresser. I think this really heavily implies that this is the lady’s old apartment before she found her way onto the maw and therefore she was corrputed by the signal to.
    Do you have any thoughts on this?

    @safidraws 3 роки тому +682

    Here is a theory for you: The signal tower manipulated Six with the specific goal of getting rid of the lady in mind.
    If we look at the ln comics where we actually see the guests board the ship to the Maw at what seems to be the Pale city and consider that the guests and several of the maw's staff are wearing the masks the doctor makes in ln2 it seems like the signal tower itself is sending them there, explaining why they are in such a trance.
    The signal tower is *allowing* this to happen.
    However, why?
    My theory? The signal tower is actually *afraid* of the Lady and her abilities.
    As you noticed, her powers are consuming, however, it's also dissolving solid matter. The guests desolve into nothingness when Six gets her powers.
    I think that's why the Lady is a threat to the signal tower. She is either immune or able to overcome the signal And her abilities would be able to consume the matter of the signal tower.
    So, to prevent that from happening, the lady and the signal tower struck up a deal. It provides them with humans to feast on once a year while the Lady keeps her distance from the signal tower.
    This, of course, isn't ideal for the signal tower which manipulates Six into taking the Lady down.
    That's why her hunger only started once the signal tower had corrupted her and why her glitching remain seems to suggest she go there.
    Futhermore, it would explain why the doctor died. He no longer held a purpose for the signal since it planed to use Six to take her down.
    Which would also play into Six's nightmare. Six is terrified of being locked up, objectivied and chases after, that's why it kept happening to her and those themes keep crawling up. They represent Six's biggest fears.
    Six escapes from the nest, but ends up locked in the hunters cabin, she escapes from there but is kidnapped by the bulies, mono saves her etc.
    Six is in a constant cycle of being chased down and hunted, being terified of getting stuck somewhere.
    However, this leads to her being trapped in a timeloop and be turned into a tool of the signal tower.

  • @kdarkogd9404

    Have you ever thought the next? (my current theory incoming):
    Imagine LN and LN2 being the same story told by 2 different characters whose fate is becoming their own enemy: Mono turns into Thin Man as well as Six turns into The Lady.
    Consider that Mono recieve the powers of the Thin Man allowing him to defeat his enemy. Nevertheless, his fatal final makes him end alone letting his power grow until turning into the Thin Man, and there starts the neverending loop.
    But thinking coldly, Six joins the Maw (taking LN as the sequel to LN2) with the inner evil she showed during LN2, and with the "hunger". She is chased by the Lady until their final showdown, and Six defeats her as Mono defeated his rival. And at the end we see her walking and killing mercilessly some of the humans of the Maw with the powers she got after consuming the Lady; allowing her to reach the top of that "society" by reaching the light at the very end.
    Also see that the Thin Man and the Lady are the only creatures that seem to be tall and slender, as it was the natural evolution of the same kind of characters that are tiny and thin. So if Mono grows up tall and slender, why wouldnt Six grow in the same way considering they both seem to be phisically very equitative?
    Btw, sorry if I extended it too much, and sorry if my english sucks. Congrats for the awesome content. Cheers!

  • @honeytlbadger4365
    @honeytlbadger4365 3 роки тому +45

    Here is my theory from things that I and some other people have noticed:
    Mono's description from the official website reads:
    "His thin paper mask offers some respite, helping him forget that the world outside hates him, and wants him to fail - but he can't stay hidden forever."
    Now, since we know that Mono becomes the Thin Man, I think it's very likely that others in this world, especially children, know that too. There are drawings of the Thin Man found in places where children would reside throughout the game. I believe that children fear and hate Mono, because they know he is the Thin Man. That's why he keeps hiding his face behind a paper bag.
    We also know that Six knows the Thin Man. She always tries to stop Mono from getting to the door at the end of the hallway and tries to tell Mono to run away when he finally frees him. I believe that when Six finally sees Mono's face for the first time as she's holding him, she decides to drop him because she realizes he is the Thin Man.
    Now, considering the time loop thing is true, I find these following parallels very interesting.
    At the beginning of the game Mono seemingly wakes up from a nightmare about the hallway, and ultimately ends up being the Thin Man. At the beginning of the first game Six wakes up from a nightmare about The Lady and ends up stealing her powers.
    I believe that Six actually grows up to become The Lady. In Monster Six's room there is that painting of the girl which is also in the first game, except here she has a scratched out face. Why would that painting be in Monster Six's safe space? It must be in some way relevant for her (I think it's either her or The Girl in the Yellow Raincoat). When we first meet Six in the Hunter's cabin, there are drawings of people with scratched out faces. I think it's more like Six has a complex with hiding/disliking her face. In Monster Six's room there are also heads of the dolls The Lady plays with. When you're destroying Monster Six's music box, right at the end before the finishing blow it looks exactly like The Maw. The Lady's description:
    "Amidst the chaos of the world outside, The Maw is the only place that makes sense. Nothing can be allowed to interfere. The guests must eat. The Maw must survive."
    When Monster Six is playing with her music box, it represents a safe space for her. When Mono destroys it, and she has no other safe space, she decides to CREATE one, The Maw, in the shape of her music box.
    I know this is seemingly contradicted by the secret ending, since The Maw already exists, but I think that's where the broken time theory comes in.

    this is my theory: i think all the timeline is messed up, everything is a loop just like a nightmare that you can’t wake up from.
    i actually think that the lady is the older six, and the pictures in her bedroom are just from her young self.
    she destoyed all the mirror because she already knows that her young self will destroy her with one of them, and the picture with her and other people cancelled are actually all her past herselves being defeated by their young version.
    she’s imprisoning all the children because she’s truing to break the loop, at the end she gave up and let six kill herself because she failed.
    her little nightmare is to starting this over and over, just like a big loop.

What if the girl from the photos was in fact the lady's daughter, but rather than the lady killing her or whatever what happened was actually that the girl loved watching TV and it caused her to become her monster form? That would be why the lady can't bear to kill her and so keeps her alive in her monster form down in the belly of the maw, feeding her and letting her have furniture, and even the TV she loved watching, and also why the lady no longer allows any TVs in the maw except for the odd one you can find in abandoned, hidden places that weren't yet disposed of?

    I'm always stubborn about theories around 3:12 where the man is sleeping because I feel this is simply the gnome playing a very common American prank on the man- kids do this particularly at sleepovers with each other, where you put the sleeping person's hand/fingers in a cup of warm/room temperature water and it makes them wet themselves in their sleep. You'd see this before playing the DLC where you learn that gnomes are children transformed, so I think that was supposed to hint at that connection for the player before it is confirmed at the end of the DLC. Doesn't detract from the theory that the guests were being chopped up and eaten though.

    I saw from a few post that data mined "The lady" character model and without a mask she still has a "beautifull" face on the same level as the picture we can see in her place, some people have theory that the mirror are some kind of key to understand the truth, the idea behind it is that mirror reveal what's really inside the person looking into it. Curious I watched a person on twitch play the 1st little nigthmare and there is a moment where Six need to break a mirror in order to progress and that mirror doesn't show the reflection of Six when she pass in front of it. It maybe was a visual bug I didn't double check that so don't take my word for granted.

    I think Six always had her life steal ability, just as Mono appears to have always had the signal tune ability. The Numbered Children just have power. The Thin Man, and the Lady of the Maw are just matured numbered children. When the thin man takes people he leaves behind a shadow, this shadow is ambulatory and sentient. perhaps even representing the soul or conscience of those people. Six having been Thin manned is separated from that part of her transforming her into a monster. Though Mono would restore her flesh he is incapable of returning her shadow and he doesn't absorb it as he did with the others, creating a unique situation where the body and the shadow exist in the same dimension yet are separated. Six's fits of hunger have nothing to do with the shadow, that's just part of who she is. Her hunger likely becoming more intense as her innate power grows, until she can longer contain it, much to the surprise of the shadow. I also don't support time loop Mono, as evident by Six and the Lady having similar abilities, people with power are rare, but not unique. Mono and the thin man a merely similar. The Eyeball flesh uses this to its advantage. Replacing one Signal tuner with another. Which leaves the question, Why did Six drop Mono? Simple she was corrupted, touched by the Eye...and though Mono would free her body, Six is no longer Six. Just another minion of the Eye... As she gazed upon Mono's face she realized that he would be very useful to her new master. As for her apparent mission to kill the Lady? Well the Eye doesn't want the competition...Resources are getting scarce and the eyes wants everything it can get.

Six was no longer the six we knew but a slave of the eye thingy, thats why we can see in little nightmares game logo, there's an eye and six is drawn in the middle of it, which indicates six is now the part of the "eye", which is why she continued to the maw to draw life force out of everyone.

    This theory makes so much sense. I also think that the Thin Man - the detective, catches the children around the city and then brings them to the Maw. How else would the children get to the Maw? Maybe the Lady told him that the Maw is the only place of normality in this nightmare world and that’s why he would send children there... Maybe he doesn’t know what happens to the children in the Maw... That’s why he tries to catch Mono and Six. He didn’t try to kill them.

    ok so i have an explanation for The Lady and the whole mirror thing. In Japanese mythology, geisha were portrayed as beautiful women with no flaws. Their faces, however, were not their real faces. Geisha had monstrous faces and would hide this up with a beautiful almost ethereal mask(their fake face). No one was allowed to see the true face of the geisha, and if they did they would be feasted upon. I personally think that when The Lady looks in the mirror you are seeing her TRUE face which she covers up with her 'mask'.

    I have a theory based on the children and mainly the eye. So, in all of the LN games, we play as children. All of the children have their eyes covered in some way. This gave me a question to why they all hide their eyes. Even kids in the cages on the Maw mainly have their eyes covered by hair or in their knees. But, most of the monsters don't. What if the Lady or Thin Man (leaning more towards Lady) created this eye to make any living thing that saw the eye do their dirty work, or almost act like a servant to him/her. This might lead to questions, since the Janitor is blind. Now, everyone on the Maw has masks with holes so they can see, breath, and eat. What if the Janitor saw the eye and knew what it was, causing him to try to stop it by pulling his mask over his eyes. Sadly, he was too late. As punishment, the villian kept it that way for trying to resist the eye. People have different jobs, like the doctor creating more servants by using dead bodies caused by televisions and such. The janitor, to send children the chefs way. Maybe the creator made different jobs for each victim. This theory of mine can be very complicated. To wrap it up, most of the villians in this game aren't really villians, and actually victims of the eye created by most likely the Lady. The children know this, so they purposly hide their eyes so when they grow up, they will not become evil. I know this was very long and complicated, but it's just a theory of mine. Have a good day!

    I’m starting to think maybe the “lady” in the picture is the grandma and the little girl is our known lady when she was young. Bc get this... WHAT IF the lady is the little girl in littlest nightmares mobile game and when “six “tried to help her, she got jumped and the six we know took the raincoat which made the lady let six have the powers in the end bc she knew who she was. What if somehow the lady survived that fall and took the pretenders power (or a version of it) by consuming her and that’s how she was able to also make nomes and shit.
    It would explain how the inevitable fate of six eating the lady would come to bc the pictures of the little girl are around six in the tower and what if that’s bc in six nightmare... she felt guilty she couldn’t save the lady from the pretender and thought she was dead...
    My other theory is, the shadow six is the dead girl six tried to save from the pretender. Maybe the dead girl was wanting to find the pretender bc she wanted that power. the dead girl is actually the little girl in the pictures and thus leading and manipulating six to eventually get to the maw in that timeline. Bc just as mono fought his future self... what if six fought the little girls future self and the dead girl didn’t think six would consume her but the ignorance of the future self thought “this is my past self “ and let her consume her not realizing it’s actually six.
    Bc mono fighting his future self... his future self didn’t want to kill him. The lady wasn’t trying to kill six either just consume her but ultimately gave up bc she exceeded her powers. Just as when six gets hungry she gets weak. JUST AS when mono gets near a transmission he gets weak too... idk I’m all over the place 😭

    In little nightmares 2 there’s only fully flesh adults / real adults and any non porcelain children found are either killed , captured or eaten. This could also link to the fact that the adults feed off the children because of their innocence and pure soul which powers the eye and its power. And those children that are fed to the eye are turned into hollow porcelain. Taking away their soul and their innocence inside turning them into the bullies designed to capture other children like they captured six and bullied her almost like they were trying to break her spirit

    Tbh my theory is that the signal tower slows down time and the stuff around it, the time in the signal tower works different which causes the place city to follow along. Mono is the only one stuck in a loop and because six escapes the signal tower she is not. I also think that the pretender is the lady instead of it being six because they share similar traits, they both have a collection of dolls, and they kinda sorta have the same power. For example when the lady turns Runaway Kid into a nome all of his clothes drop to the floor, the same thing happens to the Raincoat Girl when the pretender touches her, sure we don't see her turn into a nome, but it makes sense if u put it together. There are also a bunch of nomes running around the nest so yeah. Unlike Mono the pretender (the lady) is not stuck in a loop, after six eats the lady she heads off on her journey somewhere else, that's why we see her leaving the maw at the end of part 1. And my theory for the reason why Six dropped Mono is because she completely forgot who he was due to either the signal tower or because she has a hard time remembering things and ppl, so when mono broke her music box she probably thought he was a stranger or something so she dropped him

The Lady and The Pretender BOTH have living areas where they display children- granted The Pretender has child dolls instead of real children, but both characters display the need to showcase this fixation on children. Perhaps The Pretender lived on to become The Lady while The Child in the Raincoat went on to become The Granny? Maybe it's all just a form of evolution for the characters?

The granny on the other hand I believe she could be the lady’s TWIN!
    @13:29 you showed 2 pictures at the bottom of the same girl with the face of one of them crossed over. What if they were twins and the lady took the youth of her twin causing her to age into the granny? If you pay attention to the reflection of the lady in the DLC, she does resemble the granny’s face minus the decaying effects caused by staying in water for long years. This will connect the dots in why the lady abandoned the granny to the depths of the Maw yet kept taking care of her and feeding her.

So maybe thats why they all exist in the same time but other 4 childerns are dead. (PLEASE sorry if my english is bad or my theory is wrong in some way, it just occurred to me as I watched the video )

    My head canon was that the little nightmares universe was the result of adults who hate what they have become, powerful people whose worst nightmares are being lived out by them now and the children are a version of the adults. It is them trying their best not to turn into the adults that they don't want to be. Mono not wanting to becoming thin man or Six not wanting to become like the lady.
