ahk pls "Tutorial For How To Watch Unedited Footage Of A House With Too Many Cooks in it"

Don't hug me this is unedited footage of too many cooks in a house

Je le pense aussi...

La fin elle m'a achevé je te jure 💀

Dio! Brando!

So I'm guessing by Dio's appearance, the house was some weird ass rejected stand.

Nani?

I was also very curious about this. Thoughts ranging from, "are these people really in the house?", to, "are they just a figment of the house's imagination?", tumbled through my mind. But, alas, these questions and more were clearly answered.

I thought this was going to turn into a “it was I, dio!” Meme for some reason

There's a thing about good horror getting at something taboo or uncomfortable and I'd completely agree that this achieves exactly that. He subverts our expectations of a household ('people' not 'a family'); then, to me, it is about dysfunction in the family unit and, as you say, the idea of not hate exactly, but the lack of love in the family and neglect on the part of the parents. I think when the film is explored from that angle, you get towards this abrasive, shocking final act where we Resnick basically says that familial lovelessness is an epidemic - we see everyone suffering in some form, but the grandmother, who (I think crucially seems more interested in the strange, somewhat inexplicable modelling lore) has apparently finished her parental duties, spends much of the film completely oblivious. Between this and Unedited Footage (where we are also in a very consciously domestic setting), I think Resnick is really talented at presenting family psychodrama in horror tropes.

Don't forget the young boy, Jackson. He has basically no lines and is ignored by his parents. His bed has no sheets and his room is basically just his grandmother's room. Unlike Madison there isn't anything wrong with him (except precocious depression most likely), but his family still treats him like metaphorical chopped liver. Same for the child who is allowed to run outside unattended. The name also plays some prevalence, as those in the house are so dysfunctional they are just a gaggle of people, not necessarily a full family.

@Izzy likes fnaf gotta thumbs up your own comment that's the rule

A perfect explanation as expected of someone with a Succi profile pic

You just turned on a lightbulb in my head. Perhaps this series is also about depression? A lot of the things the parents tell Madison are things many people are told when they try to open up about their depression (Ie. "You're crazy, you're on drugs, you're just looking for attention, etc.") And it would make sense with how Madison is sinking through the floor since, for some, depression makes you want to lay down and do nothing until you die. Her sinking into the floor could also be interpreted as Madison "Rotting away" until she "dies" (when she hits the mattress.) It also makes sense since recorded cases of depression have been rising, especially in our youth. Grandma's oblivious to it all because her generation didn't deal with that stuff at all. The parents, to me, represent current adults who are in denial of their problems and try to bottle it all up. Like how the dad was singing "It's Your Flag" and how the mom is frequently brought to tears "Because a character died." I've often said the same thing to dodge people asking me why I've been crying. Finally, you've got the kids who are hit the hardest simply because they're kids who still don't know how to handle their emotions. In this case, they are being emotionally neglected by their parents who would see their kids having problems as a failure on their part. After Madison falls through the floor, everyone outside the house is laying down like she was. If we do interpret Madison falling as her dying or possibly committing suicide, then everyone outside could represent how, after someone, especially a teen, kills themself, the community as a whole is struck by depression. Almost spreading like an epidemic. In this theory, things like The Sculptor's Clayground and Lynx Disease represent how society overall treats depression. It's a bad thing that you shouldn't have but no one can say for certain why people get it or how to 'fix' someone who has it. Like the webpage says, "You DON'T want to get it. You DO want to get rid of it!" The Sculptor's Clayground fits very well since taking up a new hobby, or using art to vent, is a common way people cope with depression. Admittedly, I'm a bit tired so my sleepy brain could be seeing things that aren't there or THHPII is so open to interpretation that you could come up with any theory and it'll work.

Oh my god you’re right she mentions that there’s no cat that’s all pink in the boomy franchise, meaning Jackson is drawing the pink person in his home and the others don’t know about it

SMART

And it makes sense that this "neglect person" wears the neglected child's bedsheets. It's something that the parents forgot/didn't care about to give their child. But the personification of neglect doesn't forget and it cares unlike the parents. Because it knows how much the kids suffer from it. And it knows how much something like not even owing a set of bedsheets means to the kid. So it wears it as some sort of symbolism maybe? And if we wanna go a little further it can kinda look like a cape. Like how maybe this personification of neglect is trying to act as a hero for these kids. Or maybe it's a character Jackson made himself, a hero that he wants to save them (His imaginary friend that the dad himself is something good for kids?). Based on the logs we know he's made his original characters before. One that was all pink as Madison described. One of the more interesting conclusions. Personally, I like the concept of it being the personification of paranoia a bit more. But then again, the many different perceptions is a part of the experience.

My name was Emma too Edit: no longer called that

Not to mention, in two videos in the collection where the parents are talking, we straight up see Dennis getting beat up by two guys in the window behind them, when at least the wife could easily see it.

+Fyrsiel ye

+Fyrsiel the equivalent using tumblr to self diagnose yourself with headmates

+Fyrsiel Maybe you guys are onto something. Just as "unedited" had a very simple idea or theme once you put together all the bizarre seemingly random pieces (antidepresants causing murder suicide) this one could be hypochondria and self obsession causing damaging introversion. I left the room for a bit and did some other stuff and the idea came to me, I was so bugged by how little sense the "falling through the floor" thing made. Then it just fucking hit me. I asked myself what we knew about that girl, since knowing SOMETHING would be a clue. We knew nothing. Why? Nobody seemed to talk about her, nobody seemed to have conversations with her. She could have been dead and the first instinct for several hours was that she was just faking for attention. She was phasing through the world because she was gradually ceasing to become a part of it. The boy was still the subject of attention, but it is clear he would be in the same situation eventually as the baby takes center focus and his neglect goes to an even greater extreme. It explains so much, like the otherwise weird "when she falls through, everyone tell her we love her" bit. His revelation was that they were losing her, so the last ditch effort was to make her feel validated as soon as the opportunity came. We see two possibilities (she falls through the mattress and then the world itself) or she lands on the mattress and everyone tells her they love her and she is in their field of perception again. Good or bad ending? No, both are bad endings. Clearly this is a metaphor for suicide, the family thinks she is "faking it for attention" until they are clearly losing her for real. How does the family react? They take the mattress (which already has no bedsheets) from their slightly less neglected child, in order to save the daughter. So if this is metaphor, it could be presented in this way, the family sees that her suicidal behavior is not an act and they finally focus on her and give her the love and attention she needs, but in the process take love and attention away from the boy. We already see him acting completely depressed and uncaring of everything. He will be the next to phase through the floor. Why the people at the party too? No fucking clue, makes about as much sense as the pink freaking monster. Maybe it's not suicide but "phasing out" of their lives. The daughter was "drifting away" but the entire affair or just the seeming rudeness and lack of interest in the guests causes them to start fading away from the family as well. Yeah, that one has a lot of holes in it too. Still trying to make sense of this. I can't help but mention this mind splinter that's bugging me. The boomcat thing. Obviously sonic, right? Ok maybe the actor playing the "thing" is the dad, but what if that is just because they had to reuse actors? Yes the dad's interest in the cat could be seen as a clue to this secret, and I find it the most likely, but it does seem worth noting that we know of another "alan" character who likes the color blue, who we have seen eat garbage, who we know could potentially be violent (the mother's concern of the cartoon being "violent" seems a little out of nowhere given the clues we have about the cartoon but could be a clue of the characters identity) and who is childlike enough to have an obsession with such a cartoon character. Yeah, you probably see where I am going with that one. I couldn't help having that thought as soon as I saw the costume, and this character roaming from house to house eating up all the garbage. But yes, the dad does make far more sense, but there is another thing that bothers me. First the kid has the interest in boom, then the dad has a slight interest (I remember parts of the song) which clearly grows, and then we see the wife start to build an interest even though she dislikes the character at first. The point? Maybe another example of this idea becoming flesh. Maybe that's what the perception theme is, our beliefs and thoughts influencing perception and our perceptions influencing reality. This explains everything, EXCEPT THAT CREEPY PINK FUCKING THING! But it explains boomy "becoming real" it explains the symptoms from this nutty disease crafted by this nutty guy becoming real, and then the disease itself becoming lethal for the people outside the home. It explains the researchers treating the disease as real and noting diagnosis even when doctors do not. BTW, why do the doctors treat it as a real disease at all? Are they in on it, or could the disease be real in this universe? But maybe the researchers are studying the effects of perception, of belief. Maybe that's the importance of the clay pizza. It's not that they are in some clay eating fad to cure the disease, they believe they are eating pizza......except that doesn't explain the spitting. Nothing really explains the spitting. Yeah ok, sleep time.

I like Night Mind's idea that the pink guy represents fear/paranoia infiltrating the home. And it apparently stole the brother's bedsheet...! I think the idea that beliefs eventually become, or possibly warp, reality is a good one. Our paranoia and fear can distort our perception of reality. And in this bizarre universe in this series, this could be very literal, and that might be the idea. Their fears literally become real as they grow and gain more emphasis. I'm not so sure that Boomy is Alan instead of the father. I think the father's obsession with the cartoon is representative of something. Either the guy is just strange in what he starts to obsess over, or maybe it's that sort of situation where the father figure in the family ends up being more childlike and not too great at maintaining responsibility as a father figure should. Or maybe the stress of trying to maintain a household is getting to him and he's cracking. Maybe he misses his childhood. But I do think the whole Boomy thing is the father. Just not 100% sure what it means. Finally, the girl falling through the floor. I think it is an excellent metaphor for suicide. At the very least Depression. As for all of the people outside who are also on the floor? Perhaps that is to say that everyone has their battles to fight with. And it wears us all down.
