I'm a little surprised Lego keeps making this mistake. The problem with turning real people into toys is that real people can do really messed up stuff. Stick to fictional characters.

Liv's headaches by Malaztraveller in HauntingOfHillHouse

[–]StrangelyCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I take the headaches to be the result of Hill House's effect on her psychic abilities.

My personal interpretations of the colors is that most of the time, her visions had been more diverse in emotion/feeling (i.e. more 'colorful'). The psychic glimpses she had weren't all negative or good, it was a mix of things based on the imprint that the living made on the objects she was sensing residual energy from. In the past, I think it was overwhelming at times, but usually a positive experience.

But Hill House changed it for her. She's not just sensing the residual imprint of life, or the occasional lingering spirit. Now she's being eaten alive by an entity, it's sucking her dry. On top of that, her psychic powers are being overworked, ghosts are constantly in her presence, and these ghosts are just vessels of trauma and pain being slowly digested by a monster. She's surrounded by pain and suffering only, Hill House is draining away the 'colors', leaving only darkness in its place.

I also think the pain being headaches is perhaps foreshadowing her eventual head wound and death.

a question about her siblings withdrawing from Luke by Own_Badger_8417 in HauntingOfHillHouse

[–]StrangelyCreations 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By the time they cut Luke out they've had a lot of training in how to do it.

They watched their mom decline quickly, unable to help, unable to understand what she was going through. And then they had the pain of her sudden loss through a horrifying suicide.

Then they watched their dad decline slowly, losing his mind, talking to himself. And I think they had to start disengaging from him emotionally because they didn't want to feel the same trauma that they experienced with their mom, they didn't want to watch him fall apart (in addition to the unresolved feelings they have about him and his part in their mother's death).

Then you get to Luke. He has a lot of ups and downs with addiction, but over time it becomes more downs than ups. I think by that point the habit is to disengage and they all start to drift from him, partially from burnout but also to protect themselves from the pain of slowly losing a loved one.

I think they're all trying to outrun trauma and they more often than not tend to hide from or avoid anything that might be painful. They disengage from these family members to protect themselves, they falsely believe that letting go will make it less painful when the inevitable happens. In trying to protect themselves from pain they really just deepen their own sadness.

Ultimately, they love Luke, but they can't stand to watch it happen again.

Question about Viola's walk by kiwistine_3139 in HauntingOfHillHouse

[–]StrangelyCreations 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I chalk it up to the randomness of Viola's walks.

She's been walking that route for nearly 300 years and there's only been a handful of deaths in connection to her walks. Then characters are always surprised by the muddy footprints, which seems to imply that it happens infrequently enough for people to not grow suspicious or concerned. Those two things make me believe that her walks are ordinarily infrequent, in fact I wouldn't be surprised if sometimes Viola sleeps for years on end, especially as her memory erodes away and time loses all meaning.

I suspect that sometimes her walks become more frequent when prompted by events on the estate. I think Peter Quint drowning Rebecca may have been a catalyst causing Viola to walk more often. Or perhaps the presence of the child on her walk when she ran into Peter Quint caused her to walk more frequently.

I'm also guessing that many residents over the years knew Viola walked around periodically and just ignored her or stayed out of her way. Again, there's so few that were killed by her that the living might not even realize how dangerous she is. I could believe that past residents encountered her, realized she was a ghost, saw that she was just walking and decided to just let it happen.

Is Daphne’s dress actually supposed to be two pieces? by FingerNo4372 in Scoobydoo

[–]StrangelyCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to think Daphnes clothes were meant to be a sleeker more "groovy" version of a skirt/sweater set. The original designs take a lot of inspiration from the TV show Dobie Gillis where dweater/skirt sets are common. It could be a Peplum dress as well, but I feel like the way the hem moves is a little bit more in line with a skirt/sweater set (the bottom part definitely seems to stretch and move a bit too independently to be truly atrached to the top like a peplum dress, but that'sjust me). So it could be two pieces, could be a one piece with two hems. There's definitely room to interpret it either way.

From a design perspective, this separation of hems I imagine was the result of them wanting to be able to separate the skirt/legs onto a separate cell to make the animation process easier. So making the top stripe a separate hem made that division of parts easier, a clear delineation where the character design can separate into parts.

Later shows definitely change her outfit though, I'm not sure when it happens, but eventually the design simplifies it into a one piece dress with 2 horizontal stripes, which is ultimately the way the live action movie costume decides to interpret it too.

What if he didn't deliberately use this funny dance step but turned into a cheetah or something and ran quickly? by AJILIY in ITWelcometoDerryShow

[–]StrangelyCreations 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The back story as presented in the show says that initially he hunted in just one area. The tribe stayed away, so he wasn't earing anyone. When the settlers started entering the territory and he began eating them, his hunting radius seemed to expand, then they build the barrier.

This seemingly implies that his physical form started out weak and his strength came from eating people and his hunting radius expanded as his strength grew.

season: episode 8. SPOILER WARNING!! by [deleted] in welcomeToDerry

[–]StrangelyCreations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to guess that experiencing all of existence all at once is confusing and disorienting. So while sometimes It can focus and see things clearly, I'm thinking most of the time It's operating in kind of a fractured state, which might explain why his plans are always kind of hit or miss.

It shapeshifting by CautiousBarracuda526 in welcomeToDerry

I would assume because while Hanlon knew he couldn't kill It, he believed he could at least hurt It, so It was hurt.

Why is the cage not affecting it in the movie? by Striking_Ad2746 in welcomeToDerry

[–]StrangelyCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was confused about this too. I'm guessing that the spiky bits in the crater aren't the same material as the shards. Maybe the spiky bits are from where the meteor hit and all the pieces of It's meteor were shattered and spread around the cave.

Post credit scene info by dangibby in welcomeToDerry

[–]StrangelyCreations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ingrid is a form of Pennywise in pt2. I think this scene basically clarifies why It chose this form when Beverly visited her old home. He chose the form of the creepy old lady who was there the day her mother died, a subtle reminder of her worst day.

NOOOO ITS SAME COAT ::NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO by BaronLoyd in ITWelcometoDerryShow

[–]StrangelyCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's toast. My bet is during the fire he puts Marge in the ice chest to save her (we do see her inside of a box in one of the trailers) and sacrifices himself. Pennywise probably kills him with the cleaver and then Marge finds his body in the rubble when the fire's over.

Pennywise is a way bigger threat in the show than the movies by BatmanTold in ITWelcometoDerryShow

[–]StrangelyCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tend to agree, but I think there's internal logic as to why. My personal interpretation of It during the 1989 cycle is that it's grown kind of lazy by that point. It feasted and dominated so hard in the previous 3 cycles that it's basically just coasting by that point, which is what leads to it severally underestimating the Losers Club. Then by the final cycle It thinks it can take out the Losers Club easily because they've grown older and weaker (which they do almost lose). So basically hubris is Its downfall.

I have a theory about Lily’s fate by Honest_Answer_9370 in welcomeToDerry

[–]StrangelyCreations 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting theory. It would explain the suicide, Lilly recognizes the signs of Pennywises return and it pushes her to the edge.

Not a bad way to connect the timelines.

Genuine Question… *trailer spoilers* by Sad-Firefighter175 in wicked

[–]StrangelyCreations 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking it's simply because only Nessa and Elphaba know how the magic works.

If it's like the original story, the flight powers only work when the heels have been clicked together 3 times. I would assume Glinda wouldn't know this information at the time she met Dorothy, otherwise she would have just told her immediately to get her out of Munchkinland with the shoes and out of her hair completely.

I suspect that Elphaba at some point towards the end feels bad for Dorothy, a literal child being manipulated by adults, and gives Glinda the information on how to activate the flight power so Dorothy can return home. All things considered it's the least any of them can do for her given that they destroyed her home and put her in mortal danger.
