Trigger warning for sensitive topics.

The ferryman is a predator!

I hate how a few people are interpreting him as a “savior” or as somehow being the Lesser of Two evils. When he is NOT!

He stalks Noone, awaits for an opportunistic moment where she is at her most vulnerable in order to take her, then there’s his connection to the Maw, which had “kidnapping children for the elite”as an old official description.

Seriously, the whole idea behind the Maw and the Ferryman taking children to work there or worse to be “eaten” sounds so much like child trafficking. All he is missing is an old white van.

We know how awful the Nowhere is and what awaits the children who have the misfortune to get taken there, they get mistreated, forced to work/perform, eaten, killed and far worse.

The story is not a “OMG, Yesssss! Noone got away from her abuser!”

Otto is terrible, but the Ferryman is much, much worse. I just can’t see how people can see the ending as a triumph, as being better off, much less being good for Noone, when her ending is pretty much a life sentence or Horror beyond her comphresion. (A quiet acceptance of the terrible reality around her)

If anything the story is a cautionary tale about how society has failed children, how trauma breeds more trauma and how this can drive kids into far worse situations than they were originally in. All because society and the adults and what should be their net of support all failed them.

This right here. Otto and the Ferry/Candlebro may both be monsters, but Otto is still and has always been a victom of the Candle/Ferryman same as the children that were directly taken.

But CandleFerry man is getting compensation and benefits for his work. Otto just wanted his sister back.

Genuinely looking forward to seeing the Barbie movie tomorrow, not just for the movie but for the silly excuse to dress up

Even the scheduled rainy weather won’t ruin my mood because guess what Mother Nature? I own a pink raincoat

um. uh. it. th. sso?

Do you think Six and Mono’s clothes being there, probably means the events of LN2 already took place? Didn’t Noone mentioned they were torn off or something?

It is all very ambiguous, which is just a theme the LN world rolls hard with.

With the Seamstress or doll maker, it is possible this creature has a relation to the puppet-doll that was in the circus. But we'll come back to that in a sec here.

From Noone and the audio, it sounds like the Seamstress was making things. Like the puppet-doll Noone bashed with a bottle. She might have been creating costumes for dolls or the puppets and other toys, and that is where children like Mono, RCG, and Six received their essential articles of clothing. Even the cardigan Six wore at the beginning of LN 2 was a little larger on her. Lollypop kid from the digit comics was noted to be wearing form fitting clothing and shoes, the shoes are very unusual for children in Nowhere. Either they enter through the dream state the way Noone did, or the shoes wear away to nothing from traveling and rot. It is speculated that Lollypops kids articles of clothing and shoes resemble that of the Bullies in the school. Shoes will wear out fast when subjected to the elements, and many of the children Noone encountered had ratty or worn out clothing. But having sturdy clothing is an essential to these kids, as noted by Mono's very important coat, and Six when she found the iconic rain coat.

The chest may have been a container for eventuals. After all, we never learn what became of the Seamstress or how Noone escaped. It is possible that in the encounter with Noone, the creature was dispatched as many are following an encounter or terrorizing children. So the chest and all its contents may have been moved, or the building it was stored in collapsed, as many buildings in this world seem prone to do. It is as well probable that time parallels of Nowhere are not linear to the world Noone inhabits normally. She could be going backwards or forwards in time, but I doubt she would be looking for specifics attributes of when she is arriving.

The massive clock and stone giant may have been later in the Nowhere worlds chronology, compared to that of the Circus and the Dwellers/Bloats.

We're returning to the doll-puppet and the Seamstress here. Noone speculated (or figured out) that creatures 'adapt' and evolve to the environment of their surroundings. The Sewer Dweller dwells in the sewer, the Teacher has a long neck, the Hunter discovered extremes measures to 'welcome' nosy neighbors. The Seamstress was a doll, and she could have made a doll-puppet for the man in the purple suit. To what purpose? The puppet-doll may not have been for the man in the purple suit, but was meant to run the circus himself. A proprietor for the Seamstresses behalf. Thus, she made the clothing for these little buggers.

Like the one puppet pinned to the table with scissors. There could have been a whole colony of those things. The Seamstress may have been creating the Bullies for the teacher as well (girl power go). It is without doubt that there is no clothing made for children of the Nowhere world, except for that made specifically, or for toys and puppets. Which is an eerie take. The children are only able to acquire new clothing made specifically for toys or strange animated puppet-dolls. And the seamstress may as well get inspiration from children who are wearing such articles of clothing, and imitates them. She might also be snagging the clothing from children and refurbishing them for dolls and toys.

So the yellow coat in the chest may not belong to anyone specific, it likely was not Cece's. It has not found its eventual forever child yet.

m.idnight m.ass verse livvy but shes prone to wearing very bright and flashy colors and outfits that generally stand out against crocket's washed out Everything.

12.10.2023 Look, I'm not saying that I'm going to start again carefully and methodically document twice a week the drying process of the hydrangeas on my way back from therapy, but am I really the only one who finds it so incredibly fascinating the way these flowers dry and change hues?

I think I’m gonna be Coraline for Halloween

trying to get better confidence in tiny little ways and challenging myself on things i get scared or insecure about that rationally i know are so silly to overthink so much because they're incredibly tiny and inconsequential. like leaving my room when my roommate is home or posting on lex or my literal own stupid ass lil blog with maybe 7 active followers. or even could end up being good and it's weird how it's. genuinely exhausting and requires an active effort but also it's good. baby steps. i hope it can help me work my way up to bigger things that are still so inconsequential or even positive like how i dress or interacting with strangers or going out to things. one stupid thing is i'm obsessed with this silly whimsical swatch with colorful fringe and a little bell on it and i wanna get it and wear it because it's something kinda silly and campy and noticeable and conversation starting that i know i would fully have to challenge myself to have the confidence to wear, but also at the end of the day is something small and not like an entire outfit that could be easier to wear to get more courage and work myself into the mindset of wearing anything that isn't super plain baggy unremarkable neutral clothes and minimal accessories.
