1. This place really operates in cycles, most likely according to the dates Tabitha saw in the staircase of the lighthouse.

Why?

-MiY - constantly reaffirms that this is his favorite part- Meaning he has done this many times before and knows exactly when he starts activating this plan and what the results are. Probably the big massacre that left Victor alone, was one of his interventions as well.

2. What we took as a fact at the end of the last season, might not be the case. Tabitha is not buying this reincarnation theory, Jade seems not to have any arguments either.

3. Whatever this MiY is, whatever entity, apparently they arent scared of the sacred Christian objects - Tabitha was helping “Sophie” with a bible and no reaction at all.

4. Storywalkers just visit stories and cannot change them - probably this is gonna be the biggest arc for Julie - to learn how to be able to do it.

5. This place is all about balance. I think we should focus on this! Like how this balance works. Smiley got killed? —> Fatimas strange pregnancy and his rebirth to reestablish the equilibrium. People learn too much and reach some level of normality? —> Additional puzzles (weather change, food crisis, their mini shitshows such as the arc of Marielle Randall and Julie, Sara and Boyd, People dying in their sleep.) And now even the MiY himself had to intervene.

6. MiY transformed in the ruins where Martin was hostage and the three tortured. Maybe he is one of the things that Martin mentions as much worse than the creatures. Maybe his habitat is that dungeon and he was responsible for Martins never-ending torture.

Now some thoughts and questions of mine

1. Maybe Lady in Kimono was MiY- one of his forms. What if he is this 1000faced entity that serves the interests of the main evil there with which they had a bargain (if we trust Fatimas conclusion)

2. Why did Smiley not kill Kenny in front of Boyd? They are onto this “let’s break Boyd“ shit so why miss that opportunity?

Those who say you were able to stream it on mgm+ what do you mean? when I access mgm+ from Prime I do not see From at all.

I remember a short video I saw somewhere where one of the showrunners was discussing the importance of the backstories of each character, like how all of them were at a breaking point when they ended up in the town.

So basically THERE IS a rule about how people get there, it is not random, it doesnt depend on the route or weather or some seismic activities - these people are targeted.

Could we say hence that it IS an experiment? The only question would be triggered by what.

Because if we take it as a fact that these people were targeted from the beginning, it gets easier to narrow down some theories that ate circulating here on this sub.

The children aren’t dead.

The way they are portrayed, physically I mean, its not a visual of a dead body, it is an appearance of a body that is being drained out in some sort of continuous magic ritual.

I think these children are somewhere continuously tortured while their parents / adults are feeding off of their energy and stay immortal.

The way Tabitha and Jade are and the way Miranda and Christopher were I dont think their original incarnation would be a type of couple that would sacrifice their child.

Maybe they were robbed? Because as I observe these creatures some appear as couples - always in the same scene, very close to each other, man and woman and others as singles so my thinking is maybe some single dudes robbed children from decent couples like Original Tabitha and Jade?

And yes they can save their kid coz she is not dead?

Another thing I am trying to figure out is if there is a correlation between the monster and children number because as we saw, the moment smiley got killed, they had to reestablish the balance and Fatima got this “pregnancy”. Point being, maybe there must be a certain combination of sacrificed children/monsters for the loop to keep existing.

Hi guys

I need help

Im in post septoplasty recovery, doing my saline rinses with “spray-like” bottles I buy at pharmacy. Its like a 100ml bottle with a spraying head that pushes the flow with high pressure so that it reaches the back of the nose well.

I “spray” it for 5seconds max in each nostril, 3-4 times a day.

Two issues

1. The videos I looked up, they push it in one nostril and the liquid comes out through the other- in my case 90% of times it is the same nostril, no matter how I tilt my head or the body position. What am I doing wrong?

2. These bottles finish up so quickly! I use one bottle a day. Is this even remotely normal??

Thank you

What if she is Victor’s sister?

I am watching the episodes the showrunners advised to watch before S4 and I caught an interesting parallel.

S2E6 When Ethan tells Donna that he is tired of the quest and is scared, Donna tells him that when she was around his age, her mum told her that among the feelings we all feel, fear is the most important one because thats what makes us brave, thats what makes us heroes.

2 episodes later, we see a flashback of Victor and Miranda when Miranda was about to expose herself and leave Victor behind, Victor was saying that he was scared but Miranda was encouraging him to be brave instead.

What if Eloise escaped through a faraway tree and got adopted by someone, forgetting the traumatic childhood memories? And then, ironically, ends up in the same town as its her fate to reconnect with Victor?

At this point I look for parallels and clues in every tiny detail coz this show is not generous with important clues that actually make you come up with solid theories, its all a headache mostly😂

Edit: watched a bit more and theres another scene where Victor is too scared to take a look at his old drawings as he doesnt want to remember painful past and Tabitha tells him to be brave. And Victor responds: Thats what my mum said.

I mean this formula of a mother encouraging transforming fear into bravery cant be a coincidence, imho.

Guys,

Ive reached a point where emotional eating genuinely seems like the only big red flag left for me to turn into green.

I know that lots of therapist suggest writing down everything in a journal as in - now I want to eat something out of my emotions - but why? *pick up the journal and write it all down instead of eating*

great advice in theory but not for me as I really cannot stand journaling. Tried it a million times, hated each.

Also I have no idea if replacing a habit with another habit is a good approach? I usually eat emotionally while watching tv so if I knit instead, I forget to think about snacks, which is good but not sustainable right? Overcoming a bad habit should happen with a sustainable strategy I think, as in if I am not in a mood for knitting I shouldnt run to food :/

So besides journaling and habit switching I cant think of anything else and maybe you know something you would be kind enough to share?

Thank you!!

P.s for the first time in my life I am thinking about eating right NOT to lose weight buy because I GENUINELY want to be a healthy person in long run so my motivation this time is sustainable, I just cant think of a sustainable strategy to get there🥹🥹

Heeey

Only two days left till S4!

I thought maybe we could have this thread where each of us drops an important fact from the previous seasons that could be relevant for S4?

I will go first:

Boyd was able to kill Smiley by infecting him with a rare infection he got during his trip (with Sarah) to the dungeon where he got the infection from Martin.

Heya!

I am 30F and I have had this mantra for as long as I remember myself: “One day I will have to give birth”

Helps me overcome difficulties.

Especially medical procedures.

Before I go to the hospital I say to myself “if this procedure scares me, how am I gonna give birth when the time comes?!” and I instantly become the most fearless version of myself haha.

In the era of epidurals and elective c sections, is this mantra even relevant? Or I am being a delulu?

Women who went through child birth, have you gone through anything worse?
