I’m not crying you are 😭

Based on multiple things, my interpretation is that 1) the white butterflies belong to Carlo; and 2) the entire DLC is about P getting to honor what Carlo truly wanted, after everything he's been manipulated into doing over the first 8 chapters of the basegame. It's like finally giving someone a proper burial, after they had been brutally desecrated.

But what the white butterflies actually are isn't important to me. What matters to me is what they meant to P, what he thought about them, what he got out of the events of the DLC.

I play this game for the plot!

The plot:

[shadowjax]

I’m dreaming tha Neowitz releases music videos of their songs from lies of p where their characters all play the instruments like obv Carlo/P on the piano, Lea on violin , and Romeo on cello. Like what do you mean we only get a photo they played instruments, perf opportunity to make a cinematic video lol. Pianist of Krat opened the doors for possibilities 😭

Any songs that require singing will have their singers animated in their place. I’m curious as to who would play what like what instrument do we see Vegini playing or Eugenie. I see Alidoro on a guitar ngl or Sophia playing a harp (or sing too). Give me Antonia performing Memories on a Beach

Btw:the Facination carnival remix I LOVE

For all fanfic authors, you guys don't know how important your work is. It doesn't matter what you write or how, the fact that your write beautiful comfortable inclusive works for free is something I will always be thankful for.

For those of us who are adults being told to be this and that, molded into roles we don't like or resonate with. To always be on the outside of everything, especially relationships, to always be told were wrong or stubborn or will live to regret our decisions. To those of us who refuse to compromise, fanfic is such a comfort. Because really in our society and world, there are few people who just want to be with you because they enjoy you as you are and want to take every day with you like an adventure.

It's really sad and embarrassing to admit but I have found more comfort in fanfic and fictional characters than people. I know the psychology behind fanfiction but honestly who cares. It's nice to read and if it gives you the boost you need to make it to the end of the day, indulge a little.

So thank you to all you who write fanfiction because it's not easy to go through the day and then create your own stories to console yourself and others and then do everything again the next day. If my writing gives you even a tiny bit of that comfort, I'm glad.

Sometimes the only constant we have in our life is our maladaptive day dreams fanfic.

Theory time again:

So Carlo died to the petrification disease and Lea wished she could have saved him sooner ie before he got infected. If the petrification disease started in his left arm (bc P has an interchangeable left arm for a reason and the namleless’s left arm looks wonky coincidence i think not). I think he died quicker bc the disease starting on the left spread to his heart quicker hence the rest of his body being “less infected or normal”. Which connects to the nameless being Carlo.

I also believe nameless is Carlo’s body Frankenstein back to life by Geppetto. I’m still not throwing out my Gep put Romeo and Lea’s organs into Nameless to keep it from completely decaying bc bro is that evil. I know Carlo was good at fight but bro is PRIMED, also the red animation from the weapon perhaps connection?

Ramble: Also in reference to the duelist/frenzied amulets we see with Carlo’s face. I think they originally belonged to him, almost like Romeo’s R ring. They were designed with Carlo’s face after he died and to be worn by possibly Romeo to remember him.

So remember how Lea turned the boys away at first when approaching her about becoming a stalker. (Ties to my amulet theory bc people noted what class did they start off as.) We know Lea became legendary bc she stood up when no one else did and hates the title. So we can probably assume it happened before she turned them down the first time. I think they tired out both styles and saw how much tension and drama was in each faction and didn’t want a part of it. They may have tired Bastard path bc the rose estate had so many resources of wealth then sweeper style bc the bastard faction was too ugh (Lumancio you bish). The two saw the messiness in both and went to the one who took her own style and stayed out of the mess going on. Just a thought. Also knowing how dark of a place she was in before training the two she probably has to be aggressive in saying no bc she didn’t want to be responsible for them being hurt and she didn’t want to get attached (referencing her outfit about fearing a warm touch over a monster). But eventually she grew to love them and yk🫠

I’m telling you, they could release an entire book on what happened before and I would read it.

Love this so much🥺

Pulled an Actor AU cuz I haven't fully coped with Overture

[shadowjax]

Sayin this again bc I made it sound more poetic , here is my idea for how the ending could have went.

So when P looks into the sun rise, a shine of light dances across his eyes. For a moment they turn brown and he turns to look back, sun shining behind him with a warm smile on his face. Both Lea and Romeo stare into his familiar brown eyes that return to blue right as he disperses into blue butterflies (or dust).

Symbolizing Carlo can finally rest in peace knowing all of his loved ones have gotten some sort of closure. P is free to be his own person and is left to save Krat with his new allies. The past has been resolved, loved one’s final wish’s have been fulfilled, and now the future remains on P’s hands.

Perhaps we get a shot of a makeshift graveyard P creates. Maybe open the gates and dust off Lea’s old room, what if the painting got moved into the main hotel. His first step as P, is to clean the hotel. Oh and play the main title theme on the piano and the violin + cello pieces just pop in or he plays all 3 parts, remix idk something.

[shadowjax]

How I probably look to my irl friends who don’t play the game. I’m so hoping a yt video comes out soon exploring lore and item descriptions bc I hope a giant list is compelled one day to connect everything. I’m slightly tempted but I may loose my mind and I’m ok just writing everything down like this lol.

(I need to stop theorizing late at night and sleep)

[shadowjax]

I love her so MUCH😭 and she was only in it for such a short period of time

The Legendary Stalker.

Finished the DLC this morning and Lea is hands down my FAVOURITE character..

[shadowjax]

I’ve got a theory about Rosaura’s white butterfly.

So we know she only woke up bc of a white butterfly like how P did with Sophia’s blue butterfly.

Her shoes item description says “perhaps this life is a dream wished into existence by another.” I think the white butterfly she follows is her spirit from before dlc bc in that timeline she never woke up. Her wish was to find Carlo at the Rose Estate, in a way she does reunite with him bc we run into her 3 times in the dlc in different locations. The butterfly takes her to the Rose Estate to learn the truth since she was taken before Carlo died. Based off the tree carving she wants a friend bc she is all alone.

Lea’s wish was to see Carlo again, I think both their wishes sort of coincided together bring him back. While Rosaura’s woke her up, freed her, and led her to his location to interact with P.

Given based off the item description of the chrysalis. Now as for the spirits that represent the butterfly, perhaps it was their dead souls from the original timeline that died. Their wishes had to wait to be fulfilled until P reached a certain point in the main timeline to be taken back in time. Both wished to see “Carlo” again and in a sense they did. [edit: Many restless souls wishing to turn back the clock to see their friend again and P brings closure to those souls who lost their dear friend so long ago.]

My SHAYLAAA

And now I know. ...Carlo.

     LIES OF P: OVERTURE (2025)

[shadowjax]

The dlc world is “frozen in time” at the SUNRISE I’m SAD AGAIN!!

[shadowjax]

The sister reference I’ve been searching for, just had to read an item description lol

Bc I was like “why did Sophia address Lea as “her”? 😀

[shadowjax]

Just noticed something I haven’t seen anyone mention yet in Overture

We meet the swamp monster in the DLC before he becomes the swamp monster. It’s in the mines before the giant robo drill boss. Cool reference also I DIED to it multiple TIMES BRO.

Also I love the new images in the credits. I think the ones I have attached are fairly knew or most are some may not. The Sophia one with the piano is def new, also was her hair canonically blue right before she got taken by Simon?! The guy with his poppet wife (I don’t remember their names). Also fake Alidoro like whose blood is on the wall?! Antonia my DEAR and the cat.

[shadowjax]

I had a cool idea for a Lies of P: Overture easter egg. Ok so yk how we have the Pianist of Krat remix. I think it would be so cool if we got a new song to play on the piano like the “Overture Title Screen” song or Rose Estate song idk there’s no official title yet. Or we get a new remix song, idk I think that would have been a cool new easter egg or something.

Give us playable piano for more fun😮

[shadowjax]

I think the most hilarious part about Belladonna Crisp is that she swears up and down that her academy is better than Ravenwood when we have the wizard equivalent of God just chilling right smack dab in the middle of the walkway

[shadowjax]

Lies of p overture thoughts again lol I have so many.

P I love ya but I’m shocked there was no “your heart is pounding moment” when ya read Sophia’s diary, saw the old pic of everyone, Romeo’s arms?! But Gepetto’s letter caused a reaction like HUH? Weird nitpick but still my point bc BRO IS EVIL. Would have been a great moment for maybe a new hairstyle idk. Or yk seeing THE ROMEO.

Ok at least there was a heart string pulled when reading Lea’s letter to Valentinus, the painting, and Roseaura MY SWEET CHILD!

I so wish we could have done something for her but at least we get a FINAL GOODBYE. The star gazer at the end with all the butterflies was so beautiful. Finally saw the “white butterfly”, I wonder what it means tho bc Roseaura kept talking about it and butterflies have been referenced with Sophia. Camille perhaps(I think she was a listener)?!

Oh Goddard, why couldn’t we have brought her to the hotel like UMMM why she being left out in the cold. The painting interaction is so beautiful! The butterflies are beautiful, saws white butterfly too so OOO.

What if we got a new song to play on the piano or new remix 😮. Bc slay.

The brain in a vat, he mentioned he was supposed to go on a date. I thought, Sophia perhaps? Idk but poor bro but also boo alchemists.

Arlecchino is the only one who calls Lea by FULL NAME, bro knows all. I have so much to say on her being a Monad bc how was this not known until now. Especially bc Lumacchio only says Lea Florence and was of nobility so he would have ran in the same circle bc the bastards come from nobility etc. She looks a bit older than Sophia (maybe adopted idk) but that portrait existed and was hung for some time and ik it was hidden when we found it but people saw it too so how did no one connect Lea the stalker to Lea Monad. Not a single scrap of note beforehand. Sophia’s diary addresses Lea as “her”, I don’t see why someone would address their sister like that unless there is a serious grudge bc Lea separated herself from the family (Rant over).

I loved the stagger duo attack, Alidoro needed one lol.

The doubt emote, love it.

Wish the present day hotel got cleaned up, it being messy ruins a vibe. P going up to his friends like “hey so I was time traveling”

The monocle HAHA *cries*. Let’s be honest there wasn’t much we could change of the past bc time travel rules. Could we have given Lea gold coin fruit?

Im assuming the first canon before the dlc Lea died to Arlecchino and he got beat by the nameless.

Gemini lore umm where? Lea do you not see the twining lantern?

Alidoro MY BOIII, love his character. Hate to tell him the future will be alright lol. I mean people do know the truth kind of. Was he looking at a baby gold coin fruit tree? Wish we got more battles with him.

Gonna redo Simon boss battle so I can BEAT HIM AGAIN. I still don’t like Gepetto I don’t care what the letters say.

I’d love like a book dedicated on every npc’s lore bc I wanna learn more. Like break it up by person before the chaos when everything was good. Letters aren’t enough to satisfy my hunger. It could make a GREAT book ngl.

This game mocks me by playing sad music at the hotel! Ok I think I’m done for now.
