LIES OF P QUESTIONS AND THEORIES

I just finished Overture last weekend and DLC story made me ask even more questions about main plot, humanity mechanics and endings meaning.

Firstly, can anyone explain, why all the net decided that in the 'real boy' ending we have a real Carlo in the puppet body and in 'rise of p' we have an independent P personality without Carlo (I saw a theory, that in rise of p Carlo's soul is rest in peace and gone)? Or is I don't understand something?

Like as I understand: we have proof (Romeo and Sophia, in DLC Camilla, Geppeto's wife) that after physical death, person's soul becoming an Ergo essence and can be put in the puppet and then awake and keep their memories and personality. So, Gepetto, after his son's death, tried to make first puppet with Carlo's ergo (The Nameless Puppet), but this attempt had failed. Than he made P (main character of the game) so he could collect Ergo around the city and with all that Ergo Gepetto wanted to bring Carlo back to life.

Question 1: If Geppeto knew, that dead person soul could awoke in the puppet (puppet's ego, as one of the notes in game said)(also, he was experimenting on Romeo, so he MUST knew, that this is possible)(or, Romeo was hiding from Geppeto the fact that he is not just mindless puppet idk), ether way, if Geppeto knew about all ego(soul) awakening, than why would he try to take P's heart (p-organ, Carlo's ergo)? I mean, if we didn't reach the max lvl of humanity I can understand, but if we did? Only at death adge Geppeto admited, that P isn't just puppet, but had a soul.

And, question 2, growing from previous: what is humanity for? There is no exact explanation what are we reaching: we giving P his own soul or waking Carlo's soul in P? Because according to game lore, puppets can't have soul of their own, all puppets have Ergo power cell, and this Ergo contains 'life essence' of someone already lived. So, for me was obvious that with max humanity we are waking Carlo's soul and it's Carlo fighting Nameless Puppet in the end.

And my main exhibit is Carlo's portrait in the end game. It is well known that it's a reference to the 'Portrait of Dorian Gray's and I actually think people understand it wrong.

Basic plot of the book: Dorian Gray was a party guy, who wanted nothing more but to have fun with out any conciqunces. Artist Basil made a portrait of handsome man and Dorian wishing 'to stay forever young and chill and for the portrait to get old and ugly instead'. After some events, people started to notice that Dorian becoming cruel but still beautiful no matter the time, but Dorian himself witness how portrait growing old. This is a metaphor, and portrait literally have Dorian's soul in it, so Dorian himself became cruel and so called soulless. After his mental breakdown, Dorian attacked the portrait himself and died. When people found him, they've been talking about old and ugly man lieying dead and empty frame, where used to be face of Dorian Gray. So, as I said, it is a huge metaphor, that your soul makes you who you are with your flaws and goods, but if you denie it (literally becoming a bad person) it would had conceqences. Portrait reflected everything ugly that Dorian been doing through the plot and becoming uglier. And this is why Dorian died in the end: he literally killed his own soul and reunited with it and became a cruel ugly man, he was inside.

So, in Lies of P endings we have an empty frame in rise of p and scarry and bloodied in real boy endings. For me, it was the biggest proof that in rise of p we awoke Carlo's soul and in real boy Carlo's soul suffering trapped forever in another puppet, I mean Geppeto doesn't want to bring real Carlo to life, makes a son he want, not he had.

actually, I've been thinking during my (I have no idea, third, fourth??) run, that it would be nice to make romanced Lucanis move from his usual place next to Emmerich's chair to stand alongside Rook in all cutscenes in the library. Yeah, we would have seen less Lucanis during those, but I like to think, that romanced Lukanis choose to stay with Rook

[ranarun]

Fic writers assemble, I've got you an idea.

Imagine Emmerich and Lucanis just pulled Rook out of the Fade, moment of silent shock and then Rook dragged Lucanis into a kiss, deep and hunger, almost endless, just to say, after finally breaking the kiss: 'you should praise my patience, I wanted to do it from the moment we've met!'

It's been a while since this meme came up and it took longer than expected (as always), but I just had to do it. X3

Unfortunately not all romanceable characters fit on it and I'm so sorry for Wyll, but Halsin just had to be included... for Yasha, obviously! êwê

But there are still a few ideas for a second menu page. X> (With all the possibilities that Larian denies us.) Thanks for this marvellous game! ♥ The Meme:

hear us, please✊

so, today we, russian queers, may become "extremists" by decision of russian supreme court and thus our existence will be silenced and erased. any queer activism will be impossible for us. I don't know what to do anymore. I was heartbroken when they passed the laws about "gay propaganda" and transgender people, now I'm just numb. I don't want to escape. I just want to live safely in my own country.

please hear us.
