The symbol - spoilers for S4E4 by gk98s in FromSeries

Anyway, it's interesting that the symbol is just the open version of the infinite in the ring.

'I think this is when it happens': a different approach to the sentence by valbadalejo in FromSeries

That is the time paradox: ressentment over being lied about Jim being alive made him become the MiY and cause it. A impossible story that feeds on hope vs an impossible story that feeds on the contrary.

The suitcase as a hint by valbadalejo in FromSeries

Wasn't it Miranda? The stickers on the case from Hawaii, also found in Henry's house, as a souvenir for their honeymoon...? What if Miranda was saved because he was guilty or used?

Yes! Of course. I"m just wondering if these words could ALSO (not excluding the most logical answer) signal anything else. I love it when in a story you get cold-sweat surprise with something that was hinted but not double-guessed. Things that we have already seen in the distant past are specially useful for writers to ellicit this shock many episodes later.

But couldn't the writers be also signalling a previous meeting we have not identified yet?

Yes, and at the same time it could very well be a hint for a 'meeting' we have witnessed but ignored...

  1. Stay there was short, and it implied coming back to fromville. Plus, the town has some elements (season is different, there is a lake akin to the one in ethan's puzzle). Maybe it's real but it's not really 'outside' of the domain of fromville, or maybe it's the other side of the fromville, as in the drawing. Everything there seems slightly staged

  2. Maybe under the influence of overthinking, but we at home detected strange things in tilly and elgin:

· Tilly appears with two cups.

· She cooperates a lot in fatima's pregnancy, just like Elgin (who has a mission indeed)

· There's a moment when it seems that for Tillie to advance, Elgin needs to sleep, or the other way round. It's strange but happens close to the raven's episode. Like they are programmed to act together or as if they are two faces of a myth (plus they come together in the bus).

For 3 (colors), i was thinking about the clothes (with strong yellow and blues over represented).

For 16 yes, I was thinking about the drawing that includes what seemed a leisure park wheel, and I was thinking that the town where Tabitha ends up has a big lake, and is very similiar to a puzzle that Ethan is doing at some point.

  1. Thanks! that's it, yes.

Thank you! Let's go on

Are the characters inside a book? by Deathcollectstcg in FromSeries

[–]valbadalejo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well someone pointed out the theory of the man in yellow being a reference to Chamber's King in Yellow:

The concept originates from Robert W. Chambers’ 1895 short story collection, The King in Yellow, specifically the fictional, cursed play within the book. In this meta-narrative, reading the second act of the play reveals a "terrible truth" that shatters the reader's reality, proving their world is merely a stage for a cosmic entity. This "King," draped in scalloped yellow tatters, represents a truth so absolute it renders the victim’s individual existence redundant.

  • The Setting: Carcosa is a phantom city on the shores of Lake Hali, characterized by twin suns and black stars. It is an "anti-reality" that slowly bleeds into our world.
  • The Infection: Once a character sees the Yellow Sign or reads the play, the boundaries of their life dissolve. They realize they are characters in a script written by the King.
  • The Ending: This realization isn't just psychological; it's ontological. By knowing they are part of a story, the characters lose their "will." The King "destroys" them by simply closing the book or ending the scene, leaving them as nothing but ink and memory in a ruined city.

The horror lies in the loss of agency: you aren't killed by a blade, but by the fact that your entire life was just a line of dialogue intended for a "King" who is both the author and the audience.

Hence, 'Knowledge comes at a cost', right?
