Wanda: Shoelaces aren't that tight, sweetie.

Cosmo: Oh really? -holds up hands contorted in shoelaces - then why won't these come off?

Will I got torn to pieces by Poppy Playtime fandom for saying that the Doctor feels more dehumanized even than the orphans?

I'm talking about how these characters are presented narratively. Orphans are humanized time and time again throughout the story. While the Doctor is continuously dehumanized throughout the story.

And while simple answer is because story portrays orphans as victims and the Doctor as perpetrator it becomes more nuanced once you see the parallels between the Doctor and orphans. When you realize that devs are trying to tell us that the Doctor is also a victim.

And tbh with you orphans aren't innocent either because most of them killed in the Hour of Joy innocent people that didn't have anything to do with their suffering.

There were a few of the toys that still stayed innocent like Riley but most of them aren't innocent. Ofc we also have those toys whose cognitive functions were gone or very reduced so they act more on instincts.

But it doesn't matter to the point I'm trying to make.

The Doctor is a victim that became the perpetrator. But the orphans didn't broke the cycle of violence and hurt - they returned the hurt. It's exactly how Cole wrote in the note.

People like to brush off bad things because victims are allowed to defend themselves. But the truth is once you go beyond self-defense it should be viewed as something bad.

And what I'm trying to say here is that not everything is black and white. People are complex and we should treat their situations with this in mind.

And getting back to the point of this post.

The most important part of the way the Doctor is dehumanized in the story is the fact that he also dehumanize himself. This is what stands out to me. Because we could read his dehumanization when he was turned into experiment himself as justice. But it's hard to do so when you see that the first person who dehumanizes the Doctor is Harley Sawyer himself!

And when you see all these parallels between him and the orphans you realize that Harley is deeply traumatised. Dehumanization of oneself doesn't come from nowhere. And one can imagine why the Doctor is dehumanizing himself considering that he's obsessed with the goal of golden path to the point that he considers the aspects that makes him humane a distraction to the goal!

To conclude this post.

I feel like the Doctor is supposed to be viewed as the evil that was born from tragedy and not like most people think that the Doctor is just pure evil or even worse that he was born evil.

The Doctor is what becomes of the victim that had been broken too many times. The victim that no one reached out to. The victim that was denied help. The victim that never received love and care. The victim that became so twisted that they project their trauma and hurt onto everyone around them.

Is it okay of the Doctor to do so? No absolutely not. It's bad just like I said about the orphans killing even those who never wronged them.

TW: EXTREME CHILD ABUSE

In this post I won't only share my headcanon about Sawyer's childhood but also I'll try to explain why it might fit into canon.

First things first. I know you may find this headcanon to be too much but I really hope that you won't be rude. You're allowed to disagree and share your thoughts on my headcanon but please don't be rude about it.

So now let's get to it.

So my headcanon is that Sawyer's parents were a part of mind control program. His father is a scientist and his mother is a child psychologist. They were both experimenting on Harley to make him an amoral and unempathetic scientist who will do anything to push humanity forward past their limits. They indoctrinated with beliving in mystical things - like with poppy flowers and golden path (I'll explain everything better later).

I know I know. It sounds far fetched and as if I'm trying too hard to make Sawyer to be a sympathetic victim.

But tbh with you I only later realized that the way Sawyer behaved and trying to think about what could cause such behavior could be caused by being a victim of mind control programming.

Because at first I came up with the idea of strict parents who were pushing Harley too much to focus only on studying while they were emotionally neglectful towards him. I thought that his parents definitely had to push him to focus on studying because the line "progress doesn't care about anyone's feelings" didn't come from nowhere. It stood out to me because why Sawyer as a child (even if he was a teenager at that time he was still a child) was thinking like that.

But one day when I was thinking about the way Sawyer projects his trauma and hurt onto experiments because of how he was focusing on troubled kids more and the way he was talking about the orphans in his secret recording and I had a thought: what if his parents could experiment on him? Wouldn't it be too much?

And I was thinking how such experiments could look like so it would make sense to the story and canon. What type of experiments could impact Sawyer to be the way he is now? And when I was thinking hard about all of this I realized that all of this reminds me of mind control program that happened in real life.

And then I thought to myself that it's far fetched and too much.

But when I was thinking about it and how such mind programming could affect him (considering what things were done to victims in real case of mind control program) it started to make more and more sense and I realized that it not only explains why Sawyer is the way he is but it also fits themes presented in the game.

How? Let me explain.

First of all: hallucinogenic gas - the red smoke.

The orphans are treated with red smoke every single night and it's also used during experiments. The red smoke causes hallucinations and nightmares or more specifically night terrors.

Victims of mind control program were treated with LSD or other psychedelics that caused hallucinations.

Next thing: conditioning - orphans turned into experiments were later conditioned to better fulfill their assigned role.

The whole point of mind control program was to indoctrinate/condition a victim to believe in something.

Next thing: making experiments to be a certain way - i.e. Huggy Wuggy was designed and experimented on to be a guard dog of Playtime Co.

Mind control program was supposed to make people be basically someone else by changing their mindset completely.

Another thing that I forgot about is a weird accent put on poppy flowers. There was a time in PPT fandom when people widely thoerized including me that there's some sort of cult thing going on with poppy flowers.

It was later forgotten but when you think about it characters like the Prototype and CatNap and things in chapter 3 were straight up cult like stuff: the Prototype being a god, CatNap being his apostle who built his shrine and had his church - Playcare.

And while there isn't anything related to demons in Poppy Playtime I found it rather odd that someone found in game files the statue of Baphomet (it was 3 years ago).

I'm not saying that Playtime Co is weird cult or something. What I'm trying to say is that it may imply something.

Because we have stuff related to cult with the Prototype and CatNap already.

Weird allusions were made regarding the Prototype in Project Playtime that he can speak directly to or maybe even control others minds. While it's hard to say if that's exactly the case cause he could find other ways of communication it reminded me of something.

Special properties of poppy flowers.

We learned about them in note about experiment 814 - rat experiment with poppy gel.

The person who made that note believed in some sort of magical/mystical properties of poppy flowers that they can bring the dead back.

And I have to admit that for a long while I thought that it was Elliot who wrote it (I know I already said that) and I thought that he believed in magic or something like that hence why Sawyer called his vision a childish fantasy.

But now when I'm pretty sure and confident with it I think that Sawyer wrote that note during his time at Young Geniuses Program which implies that he is the one who holds this believe in poppy flowers.

While we know that flowers have unique properties to them that help with many things such as healing or treating wounds etc. there isn't anything like a flower that can revive the dead.

At first I thought it was Elliot who had this magical thinking because Sawyer was the one who was using knowledge and his brain and etc. etc. but when you think about it and remember that Sawyer came up with the idea of golden path ("I paved the golden path") and has references to Joker who is known from being a madman.

It all start to makes sense.

And when we consider implications of cult like stuff and mind control stuff and special properties of poppy flowers and golden path we can see an odd pattern here.

And what's really odd is that Sawyer held this weird belief in special properties of poppy flowers when he was a teenager and I believe that he also came up with golden path since he started with experiments (rat experiment had a number 814). So Sawyer had strange beliefs and weird idea - golden path sounds mystical not like something science like.

And while Harley definitely was heavily inspired by Dune (I only realized it now when I'm writing this post, I'm not joking) - he said in QnA that he's science-fiction person and Golden Path is in Dune and Dune has a messiah character I'm 100% sure that Sawyer read Dune when he was a teenager like it's definitely canon - it didn't cause him his issues.

And while Sawyer could have these issues from different type of abuse and he could escape into science-fiction I found it interesting that Harley was most likely born when human and child experiments were a huge thing and whole mind control program had happened in real life.

It was a part of reason to why this thought came to my mind that maybe Sawyer's parents experimented on him (even before I came up with mind control program part). Because at the time he was born child experiments were quite common.

And if they injected psychedelics into him and indoctrinated him with some strange beliefs he could later think that he came up with idea of golden path because of Dune.

Sawyer's mind after being subjected to experiments and injected with LSD and other psychedelics was definitely more prone to developing some sort of psychosis hence why he could end up believing in whatever he read in Dune and maybe even believing that he's like Paul and or Leto II - a messiah, someone with a mission to save humanity by improving it.

And Dune also has this some sort of psychedelic - the spice that make people see visions etc.

And the reason why Sawyer is so detached from his past might be because he could have had implemented fake (false) memories while he doesn't remember experiments - memory manipulation exist in real life too.

Sawyer could believe that whatever ideas he came up with which he later named golden path after Dune were his own ideas but in fact they're a result of indoctrination and visions caused by psychedelics.

And while you may ask why Mob Games would reference something lile mind control program in their game, they did that with Mommy Long Legs which is named after a girl with a horrifying history of what happened to her. Marie Payne was a real girl. And I'm 100% sure Mob Games knew what they were doing giving a girl who was turn into Mommy Long Legs this name. You can read about Marie Payne on the internet or go and watch Tericho who also mentioned it on YouTube during one of his older videos about Poppy Playtime.

And Mommy Long Legs is also the reason to why I think that Sawyer could be a victim of mind control programming. Its because of their parallels.

And I need to give a shout out to a person who made a thread about the parallels between Harley and MLL on Twitter:

Because it's so well done and they did awesome work with this! ✨✨

And this is what convinced me that devs really made Sawyer with the intention of us to see him also as a victim and not only a perpetrator.

[iamotter]

If you're not interested in reading my headcanon about Sawyer's childhood (that post with huge TW) then I'll tell about what I figured out here.

SAWYER IS A FAN OF DUNE!!!

In QnA he said that he's a science-fiction person.

He came up with idea of golden path.

And first edition of Dune was published in 1965 in form of book but it was serialized (in paper) from 1963 to 1965.

Sawyer was at that time a teenager cause I'm pretty sure that it was also either when Young Geniuses Program was founded by Elliot or it was close to that cause I'm pretty sure that YGP was founded between 60's and 70's after death of Elliot's daughter in 60's.

And well if you didn't know then I'll tell you here that Sawyer most likely came up with a name for his life project - golden path after Dune cause there's a Golden Path there that was only visible to Kwisatz Haderach (Paul Atreides) and Bene Gesserit.

I'm 100% sure it's canon that Sawyer was inspired by Dune with golden path and his mission to improve humanity and push it forward past their limits by scientific breakthrough.

TW for rat experiment nxnxnxnxn

Now I'm 100% sure that Sawyer was the one who not only did experiments on animals with poppy gel but he was successful with it.

First things first. People wrongly assumed (including me at first) that Sawyer didn't write note about rat experiment because the letters were different.

But the thing is this is not how you compare handwriting to determine whether or not it was written by the same person.

Look closely at both texts. They seem at first glance to be too different to be written by the same person, right? But the difference comes from the time both these notes were written.

Rat experiment was written by Sawyer during his time at Young Geniuses Program and he was a teenager at that time. The handwriting actually looks like something that teenager could write. Letters still look like how you learn to write in school.

Note about Yarnaby was written by Sawyer when he was working at Playtime Co and he was adult then. The handwriting changed - letters are written in simpler style probably from Yeats of writing thanks to the profession he chose. Hence why capital letters like "a" or "s" are now written as bigger versions of lowercase letters. Because it's simpler to write them in this way.

We can see that Sawyer found his own style and his handwriting is now more confident and stylized compared to his handwriting from teenage years.

And what's most important when you compare handwriting? You have to find unique qualities of ones handwriting. And we can see that in both notes letters written in one word are connected and letters are leaning in the same direction though it became more apparent in his adult handwriting.

Changing of handwriting over time is completely normal thing. It happens to everyone.

And another thing. You can't say from one letter that thing was written by the same person. I'm talking about how many people (including me at first) believe that rat experiment was written by Elliot solely because the letter "E" is the same. It's not how this works. And I admit that I was wrong when I thought that Elliot wrote that note.

I know that I talked about it already in one of my posts but I wanted to make this clear because it's important that Sawyer was the one who discovered the scientific breakthrough of bringing dead back to life.

Why it's important?

Because I realized that the only thing everyone saw in Sawyer was his intellect and that everyone used him and then betrayed him later (or in Leith's case earlier).

We don't know what exactly happened between Elliot and Harley. But we can conclude this based on hints and more importantly from narrative standpoint.

So what we know for a fact is that Sawyer survived two times solely thanks to his intellect: 1) Leith didn't kill him but turned him into an experiment because he needed Sawyer's knowledge and unique capabilities; 2) the Prototype didn't kill him because he needed Sawyer's knowledge that he lacked - cause it was pointed out rather clearly that the Prototype would need too much time to first learn things that Sawyer already knew before he'll be able to crack the secret on his own and he didn't have that much time; Sawyer on the other hand already had a lot of knowledge on the matter which was what the Prototype needed.

In both these cases Sawyer was used for his intellect and betrayed 1) by Leith when he turned him into an experiment; 2) by the Prototype - he didn't kill him on his own (I think he couldn't) but used the third party (the player) and he was plotting it behind Sawyer's back.

Hints given to us that heavily imply that Elliot used Sawyer for his intellect and later betrayed him:

1) removal letter description - "Monsters We Make..." suggests that Elliot's actions are direct cause of Sawyer's mental breakdown which made him into the person or rather a monster who he is now (he pushed him over the edge - one bad day).

2) Sawyer's voice lines - "It was going to be mine. It was all going to be mine. My discovery. My recognition. I was the one who paved the golden path."

"Has she not strung you along, betrayed you, and told you only what you needed to know to do exactly as she asked?"

"Do you think Poppy cares about you? She'd sacrifice you in an INSTANT if she believed it means getting what she wants."

These clearly imply how Sawyer viewed Elliot's actions towards him (he was projecting on Poppy how he felt about Elliot).

And this together with:

3) Sawyer's memory of rat experiment from Doctor's trailer.

Shows us that Sawyer was experimenting on animals with poppy gel during his time at Young Geniuses Program.

Experiments on animals were pretty common and non-controvercial at the time period Young Geniuses Program was founded - most likely between 60-70s.

And because this Program was founded by Elliot every experiment and discovery belonged to him as it was a property of Playtime Co.

Lines like "My discovery" and "I was the one who paved the golden path" suggests to us that it was Sawyer who discovered the scientific breakthrough. He succeded with bringing dead back to life. But we don't know when it happened and with what subject exactly.

Important thing to note is that Sawyer was young back then and he didn't had the vast knowledge and abilities he gained later. He was using whatever knowledge and abilities he had at that age and he was most likely improvising driven by scientific progress ("progress doesn't care about anyone's feelings") and curiosity.

I believe that Sawyer crossed lines which caused the argument between him and Elliot and resulted in his removal from the Program.

Hence why it wouldn't surprise me if it turned out that Sawyer made the Prototype and not Elliot - and he succeded we can say on accident. Using human for experimentation was definitely a no go even back then. Though we know that at that period of time there were experiments conducted on humans that were unethical.

Also I wouldn't be surprised if Elliot told him about Poppy and his dream to be able to have her back. And it wouldn't surprise me if this could also be a reason to why Sawyer tried so hard because he was doing this for Elliot the only person that gave him positive attention. And this is where Harley's line "I thought you CARED" could come from cause Elliot wanted something similar, no?

Anyway. Hints that Elliot used Sawyer for his intellect.

So Sawyer was working under Elliot and came up with the project with poppy gel that caught Elliot's attention because of his dead daughter - proof: "If I might just be a tad selfish here, he is EXACTLY who I hoped this program would attract."

Elliot took Sawyer's project to bring his daughter back to life. He did it for selfish reasons. He already had that in mind when he saw what Sawyer was working on. And it makes him a hypocrite cause he experimented on his own daughter while he kicked out Harley if not for the same thing (the Prototype) then for something less than that.

"He took EVERYTHING"

"I thought you CARED"

These words written by Sawyer about Elliot have clear implication. Elliot took Sawyer's project by kicking him out of YGP because it belonged to Playtime Co. It's not fair when the one who discovered the scientific breakthrough was Sawyer and also because Elliot did what he kicked out Harley for. Sawyer thought that Elliot cared but sadly Elliot cared about his selfish desire to bring his daughter back to life.

I'm pretty sure that he cared about Sawyer but not more than his selfish desire. He just covered his reasoning for kicking Harley out of YGP in nice words like Sawyer lacking humility or that he should use science for benefit of humanity not only for the sake of progress.

We know these were excuses when Elliot saw Harley's struggles:

"I've tried to ask him questions— get a sense for who he is. And while he doesn't say much, from how he talks about home, I get a sense he doesn't miss it. A mind such as his can be quick to isolate himself from his peers, and if not surrounded by kindness, that mind can twist. The way he spoke almost made me feel sorry for him."

And because Elliot brought his dead daughter back to life.

Elliot had his own vision and selfish desire and he was fixated on it and when Sawyer didn't fit his ideal world ("childish fantasy of a naive, broken man") he ignored his issues and ditched responsibility. Elliot was selfish back then.

Sawyer mental breakdown was understandable. Elliot indeed betrayed him. And this pushed Sawyer over the edge - reference to Joker (one bad day; jester's siluette on torn papers; Doctor wearing jester's hat on official art). He became a monster because of Elliot's actions towards him.

And why I don't think that Elliot made Poppy on his own because he isn't a scientist in that field. Sure he had various innovational ideas and he could make machines and toys or at least their designs. But we don't have any proof of Elliot being knowledgable on subject of biology and such.

Elliot doesn't come off as someone who knows how to do surgery or anything like that.

And I get it that Elliot was grieving but it's not excuse to be a hypocrite and Elliot was an adult so he should know better. He saw that Harley had issues. He saw that something was wrong. But he was selfish. And grieving can't be an excuse to broke the trust of an already broken kid. It's not an excuse to mistreat a child.

This makes me even more feral over them and I need to know in what circumstances Harley killed Elliot jxnxnxnnxnxnxnnxnxnxnx

Anyway. Sawyer being the one who discovered the scientific breakthrough of bringing dead back to life makes sense from both hints in game and ARG etc and narrative standpoint.

Sad thing is that no one saw Sawyer as his own person but rather they saw only his intellect. The only person who could do something and cared about Harley was Elliot but we all know what he chose.

It's not surprising that Sawyer acts so superior cause he learned that all that matters in him is his intellect and nothing else. So he tries to make up for this by acting as he's above everyone else.

And I believe that Sawyer got this mentality from his home. I believe that his parents also focused only on his intellect. That's why he's so detached from his humane aspects because he had nothing outside of his big brain. And it reflects in what happened to him later when he was turned into basically a machine. A brain plugged into a computer. Because only this brain mattered to others.

That's why I don't think that Sawyer would care if the only thing left of him was his intellect in digital version and not even his brain cause he's too used to being valued for his smarts and used and later discarded like a thing or a tool. He was dehumanized, I believe since childhood, to the point he became a machine.

But what's tragic is that he still misses humane aspects of him, he still wished for connection even though he didn't understand that and wasn't even aware of that. But he pushes away every bit of what makes him humane because of his goal - golden path. He's obsessed with this goal even more than he's obsessed with himself I think. Because if he was truly obsessed with himself why would he want to discard and push further and further away anything that could distract him from his goal? He doesn't even allow himself simple pleasures and even if he does something for his own amusement he's still emotionally detached from it. Like we could hear in his QnA. He answers in such way about most trivial things as if he had to find an analitical and logical reason to do and like something. (Come on, Harley! Bsnznznzn QwQ)

I think he became obsessed with golden path since Elliot kicked him out of YGP because it was his breaking point. Golden path was his idea. It was his project. His discovery. But I think that roots of this comes from his home.

This much focus on scientific progress and what it escalated to later doesn't come from nothing.

Like I get it that Sawyer could have an interest in science and all but when it's implied that he had bad childhood and he is compared to rest of experiments via implications by devs then I doubt that his obsessive mindset came from nowhere. (also why the name golden path and why belief in special properties of poppy flowers vzbxbznbxbxbxnx)

His parents were at least neglectful both physically and emotionally and were pressuring and pushing him to focus only on studying and on gaining knowledge and on progress.

And with all of this I just think that the Doctor is better candidate for main antagonist in horror franchise. Cause he's a monster but a tragic monster who projects his trauma on everyone around him. Most of iconic horror characters had tragic backstory and they ended up projecting their hurt onto others.

I'm pretty sure that the Doctor is alive but I hope for it because it makes sense and would be good from narrative standpoint.

[iamotter]

so like... i found another art style..

[iamotter]

The way the Prototype is written screams plot twist to me.

Hence why I can't imagine him as the main antagonist. Though ofc plot twist main antagonists exist but what we got from the Prototype himself tells me that he just acts bigger than he actually is.

His actions makes me think of him as a kid that gained too much power and has a power-trip. He thinks that he's who knows what because of him being more special compared to the rest of experiments and because he can manipulate experiments and is quick to adapt but he actually isn't as powerful as people think and as he sells it to us.

The clues we got about him doesn't make him a compelling main antagonist compared to the Doctor.

You may ask why I'm comparing them? But you can't not compare them when since the Doctor character was introduced he had the main antagonist aura. And also mainly because they added him to the main game.

And the Doctor has more clues of his lore that actually makes him a more compelling main antagonist.

Considering that not every part of the lore that is important and is related to him was resolved during his time in the game.

I wouldn't complain if the things were just some minor stuff but considering that many things about Elliot are still left unknown and actually all those things are related to the Doctor makes it even harder to ignore importance of the Doctor and makes it even weirder for him to be killed off completely.

While I get it that his voice lines during boss battle could be taken as final desparation of someone who will soon die but to me they sounded more as lines of someone who desparately tries to act as a normal person but in fact they are not normal. They're unhinged.

For me Sawyer seems to be pretending that everything is okay in his head but he has slip-ups that contradicts that.

He's traumatised even if he doesn't realize that. He acts as he's a normal genius scientist who came up with brilliant scientific break-through but there are moments when this mask slips.

I just think that we didn't focus enough on references to the Joker. Sawyer tries to seem composed and rational but he's actually far from that. And he was far from that way before he was turned into experiment. The moment he became mad in the sense that he's crazy (you know what I mean) was when Elliot kicked him out of YGP.

One bad day - anyone still remember that part from Sawyer related ARG?

Though I don't think that everything was all good and dandy in Sawyer's life till Elliot kicked him out and he was a spoiled brat who took this too much to his heart.

Because many things prove this otherwise. Devs are trying to show us that the Doctor wasn't always bad. He's a victim just like all the experiments. And I don't mean that because he was also turned into experiment but because he was also an innocent victim at some point.

So yes I'm implying that the Doctor has childhood trauma and one bad day is a reference to the day that broke Harley completely. The day that he was pushed over the edge. And Elliot was the one who did that to Harley. Hence why the "The Monsters We Make..." is the a description to removal letter.

I personally think that Doctor's voice lines during boss battle don't show his last desparate attempts before his death but they shows us the true face of Harley Sawyer.

That he's a madman. Or mad-half-man-half-machine. Anyway.

He's bonkers. Hence why I think that I was probably wrong and it was actually Harley who caused theatre incident. But we didn't get more explanation on that cause it would spoil a surprise about Sawyer's true colours.

And there are more clues to this. Cause why the rest of scientists that worked at Playtime Co that has underground labs where they turned kids into toys consider Sawyer's ideas to be reckless and irrational? (adding Kevin to Doey project) (taking interest in violent kids - Kevin and Quinn; yes Quinn too cause he was chomping off mini Huggies heads)

Why Sawyer's first thought was to condition Boxy Boo to eat flesh? We can argue that he made Boxy Boo with being a guard of secrets of Playtime Co in mind but honestly I doubt that.

Considering that Leith told Sawyer that he will make experiments exactly how they want which heavily implies that Sawyer was most likely changing/adding some things to experiments last minute.

I just think that Sawyer is completely unaware that he lost his marbles. He sees himself as this calm collected calculating and cold individual but he's in fact delusional.

Which considering that he is a genius and is good at planning manipulating and has vast knowledge he is dangerous.

And also lets not forget his answer about Doey:

"1322 - for all the anger he’s caused me lately, remains a source of some pride. What we were able to do with him, ha, I was told couldn’t be done. Heard that before. For a first pass at linking the neural architecture of three subjects, I'd say it went rather well. Wouldn't you?"

He was told many times that his ideas are impossible and yet he continued with those crazy ideas.

And I get it that things that are possible in Poppy Playtime aren't normally possible so it's hard to see how does that make Sawyer crazy but the truth is these things being possible in their world doesn't immediately make Sawyer alright in his head.

Actually it could make him even more unhinged and make him create even more reckless and irrational and dangerous ideas. Which we could see with his experiments.

He was coming up with more and more wild ideas till he came up with something that caused theatre incident.

And it makes sense that it was Harley who caused theatre incident also because of what that one woman scientist said about Sawyer being a rotten chicken who was a rotten egg before - she could be a part of Young Geniuses Program and saw Harley's problematic behavior.

And this makes it sad that no one saw Sawyer's issues but they rather saw him as an issue. It adds to his parallels to experiments.

And you all know how it is with untreated issues (most likely mental issues) they can escalate to the point that person suffering from them may cause harm to themselves and those around them.

And that's what makes the Doctor even more compelling as the main antagonist.

Also I think that he has still so much going on with him to cut his story so short.

The Prototype seems to be a key to what happened between Elliot and Harley. This is something I still strongly believe in. Which is why he's so mysterious and his identity is still hidden.

Also because I doubt that the Prototype is Elliot I think that he will turn out to be a red herring and not main antagonist.

It just doesn't work if he was Elliot. The Doctor talks too differently about both Elliot and the Prototype. Same is with Poppy.

To me it works well for the Prototype to be the so called god that is fallen but doesn't realize that his time of reign has ended.

The Prototype saying my Kingdom is eternal in death scenes makes him a King.

And considering that the Doctor is a jester and the references to Joker makes me think that the last laugh will belong to Harley who will overthrow the Prototype.

Ofc I might be wrong and we'll laugh at my yapping one day but we shall see.

[iamotter]

thinking about how Sawyer delivers the "It was supposed to be mine!" line as one of the last things he ever says, and he knows that.

Despite calmly wondering about the tolling of the bell as death comes to his quarters, he still cannot bring himself, despite his proclamations, to be any more than a man, an animal who cries and screams as it's shot to death through the bars of a cage.

Among his last-ditch effort to keep himself alive, the petulant and defeated child comes out, wailing, "it's not fair! it's not fair!"

He keeps himself haughty in all of his dialogue up to that point, and only during the boss fight does he break down and use his last maybe ten minutes of breath to slam against the bars of his cage and feel the hurt as it overwhelms him. He's not really talking to the player anymore.

Plus his dying line as he realises that everything he'd ever done is useless - the ends can't justify the means, because this is the end, and it all means nothing. He wasn't Dr. Semmelweis, he was Dr. Freeman.

that's the lobotomy guy, not the Gordon.

The thing that makes Harley Sawyer still human is not what remains of his flesh or blood, but the fact that the animal in him still hurts, it still lashes out at its captors and cries when it dies.

Happy Father’s Day

I was going to share something drawn specifically for it with Timmy and his kids as humans, but I’m really happy with this sketch even if it’s a more general family rather than Father’s Day specific.

What do you think of these designs? Tim’s cat name is Beavertail, Tootie’s is Purplepossum and their kids are Wingkit and Crownkit.

Now I'm even more than sure that Sawyer had an awful childhood.

Just listen to his reasons to why he likes the colour grey.

Definitely strengthen my headcanon about his childhood.
