hi so um someone said something that made me Think (it was tags on a piece of art referencing the fact that gl!ranboo killed gl!charlie twice already, and that the bulletproof vest protected charlies stomach) and so i went back and i rewatched the scene with charlie and ranboo in the surplus/storage store and. um.
charlie had stopped talking after dropping the axe, but then he watches ranboo pick up, inspect, and pocket an incredibly sharp-looking knife that appears to be shaped for both stabbing and cutting (it looks like a hunting knife? i think?) and as soon as ranboo moves to pocket the knife charlie starts talking and moving away from ranboo.
His voice immediately sounds incredibly nervous - more so than the base line fear from being chased by the Wire Beast - and he picks up the bulletproof vest that protects his chest and stomach (the place where ranboo vivisected him in the previous episode) and goes "okay okay hey um, so yeah im just gonna- if you dont mind im just gonna put this on-"
Ranboo with a knife makes him Very Nervous, but this scene comes even before they find the sets for the warehouse and the cabin. So even if Charlie still doesn't remember much of anything yet, the lingering fear is still there.
Yeah thats it, thank you for reading this post, consider rebloging it :D
(Please can someone make drawings of an au based in this like come on, big tv wire mosnters, thats so little nightmares, and two little guys running around running away from these monsters and definitely nothing bad will happen with them in the end haha what-)
Also gl!ranboo definitely is Mono, gl!charlie is Six And gl!sneeg could be the runaway kid :)
a visual guide to charlie slimecicle for anyone that may have trouble drawing him,, made this mostly for myself lmao but I figured someone might find it useful
