Trigger warning for sensitive topics.

The ferryman is a predator!

I hate how a few people are interpreting him as a “savior” or as somehow being the Lesser of Two evils. When he is NOT!

He stalks Noone, awaits for an opportunistic moment where she is at her most vulnerable in order to take her, then there’s his connection to the Maw, which had “kidnapping children for the elite”as an old official description.

Seriously, the whole idea behind the Maw and the Ferryman taking children to work there or worse to be “eaten” sounds so much like child trafficking. All he is missing is an old white van.

We know how awful the Nowhere is and what awaits the children who have the misfortune to get taken there, they get mistreated, forced to work/perform, eaten, killed and far worse.

The story is not a “OMG, Yesssss! Noone got away from her abuser!”

Otto is terrible, but the Ferryman is much, much worse. I just can’t see how people can see the ending as a triumph, as being better off, much less being good for Noone, when her ending is pretty much a life sentence or Horror beyond her comphresion. (A quiet acceptance of the terrible reality around her)

If anything the story is a cautionary tale about how society has failed children, how trauma breeds more trauma and how this can drive kids into far worse situations than they were originally in. All because society and the adults and what should be their net of support all failed them.

This right here. Otto and the Ferry/Candlebro may both be monsters, but Otto is still and has always been a victom of the Candle/Ferryman same as the children that were directly taken.

But CandleFerry man is getting compensation and benefits for his work. Otto just wanted his sister back.

Candleman: The Complete Journey - Blast Review

Developer: Candleman Games Rrp: £11.39 (Gog.com, Humblebindle and Steam)

This a beautifully crafted platform puzzle game that keeps itself short and sweet. Too many games like this feel the need to cram as many puzzles in as possible even if it negatively affects the pacing or narrative of the game. I particularly love the 'burn' mechanic. Since you play as a sentient candle with legs you can burn your wick to give yourself some illumination in the often part areas of the game as well as to set other candles alight around you. The issue is you have a grand total of ten seconds of burn time, if you go over that time you lose a life, of which you also have ten per stage. This encourages the player to perform a quick burst of flame in order to see what lies ahead and try to remember it. This 'quick burst' technique that is instilled in the player in the early stages becomes an absolutely crucial skill later.

Candleman also has a really nice difficulty curve that goes as far as being challenging without being punishing. There aren't too many checkpoints in level (which are represented by large candles that you set alight to activate) but the levels themselves tend to be quite short. This is also a beautiful game to look at as you travel from the bows of a abandoned ship through to the lush foliage of a light sensitive forest and beyond.

I definitely recommend giving this game a go, I don't think any one who gives it an honest chance will be disappointed in what they receive.

The Sounds of Nightmares episode 2 analysis: The Grim and The Divine

Let's start with the best boy, Jester!

I find it interesting that Jester seems better adjusted to the Nowhere than other kids. One could try to dismiss it by saying SuperHorrorBro wrote the episode, but that can be debunked by the fact that the showrunner cowrote and approved the episode meaning that Jester's mannerisms are within the realm of possibility within the Nowhere. Jester's habit to forget the punchline along with his seemingly well adjusted demeanor imply he's been in the Nowhere for quiet a while.

On the topic of the fish boats:

I believe these may be an attempt to establish how the Maw avoids word getting out about the guests deaths, by being one of many giant sea creature shaped vessels.

I don't think there's much to discuss about the Bathers, other than the fact that I hope they NEVER offcialy appear in a visual medium.

Onto the Ferryman/Candleman!

I think he's much more powerful than we thought before, no longer just a shapeshifting freelance child hunter, now one of the main, if not only, beings to actively attempt to keep kids in the Nowhere. (Also makes me think that while SoN will focus on reinventing him, LN3 will reinvent North Wind, Mirror Man and the villain concepts from the cancelled issues)

Up next will be my general thoughts on Noone and Otto.

Incredible.

Otto reveals the Ferryman alone has been documented in stories for hundreds of years in different cultures all around the world, all of which say he is a mythical being guarding the entry to another world. People knew he existed, but his existence was greatly ignored by many and considered nothing more than a myth. The people(like parapsychologists) who either believe in him and/or researched him in those stories, were also labeled as nothing but crazy. The Parapsychologists, people who study psychic phenomena and the paranormal, say the Ferryman/Candleman is better known as “The Guardian at the threshold”.

Do you think Otto was 100% bad? He fits very well with the theme of Adults exploiting children for their own benefit.

But he also has moments where he seems to genuinely worry and maybe even care about her, but he had an inability of seeing her perspective, mistreated her and was using her as a tool to find his sister and the Ferryman.

But again, he seemed genuinely heartbroken when she was taken.

He's not 100% bad, maybe a good and healthy 84.7% - it's not him seeking Cece(Cici) for the goodness of her benefit, or a selfless act, not entirely. Trying to find Cece remains a fraction of Otto's internalized guilt and trauma - he is a mess of a human. And a lot of Otto's progress does depend on Noone cooperation and connection to him, both emotionally and in the physical world they inhabit. But Otto still retains some of his humanity, tho by the end of SoN, he may have lost that entirely and been thrown off that metaphorical edge when Noone abandoned him for the Ferryman/Candlebro. It's Cece all over again - Otto did that, he fuked up. As an adult, he should know better about what he did done which was wrong, but he's angry and spiteful, and maybe a smidge depreciating of his failures. It is him after all that was the problem, but he also does not care.

Then he takes an immediate interest in Ethan, who has no prior reported history of nightmares or Nowhere. Ethan is sleep walking. Oh my world, call the psyche ward, the child is doing something unforeseeable - we can't handle this child.

Otto didn't start at 100% nefarious, but he does delve into like 91.6% bad, and he is conniving and manipulative, and willing to do whatever it takes to satisfy his own ends, by the end of SoNs. The story is his descent into his villain ark, his repressed trauma being unleashed, all the bad and problematic things getting ripped open from old scars that never healed right. He does not have much control over his emotions or who he is, because he's lost himself to the sister that walked away - it took a part of his good with him. Because if Cece stayed, he wouldn't be the lost child growing up with that luggage. And Noone did exacerbate his condition - which isn't her fault, but she was foretold and knew the conditions of running off to Nowhere would entail. Rather stay with the problematic bad-for-her adult who was searching for his lost (probably dead) sister, she goes with the sus predator who inhabits the same land the monsters thrive.

And for context, there are often times situations where an adult or parent tells a child "don't do X cause danger" but the child does X anyway because they are a child. They disregard danger or hazard for their own interests, they throw aside caution because children - are absolutely selfish self-serving jerks. Gong to the doctors for treatment, for instance, getting demolished teeth torn out for their health, getting jabbed and prodded, promises that this medicine will help, but the benefits promised fail - all traumatic stuff. When it was convenient or manageable for Noone, she did help others - like the mushroom fairy, or Rusty. Of course when the monsters charge, she turns around and flees - she's got to. That's all the children can do in that world. Noone is a selfish character, and she left behind a selfish man, so Otto could inflict that same pain onto other kids.

In a way, Otto is easier to sympathize with than Noone. Cause he was constantly abandoned by those around him, he - like Noone - lacked power and autonomy of his own decisions. Even as an adult, he was limited and lacked all power. At his most vulnerable, he was always abandoned. That's his story. He's always left behind and he can't take back what was stolen, or retrieve the people that were important to him, or those he relied on. And it is fuked up for Noon to be in that situation, but Noone still ran away from home after she had a fight with an adult/ a caretaker. That is how kids go missing. Otto's goal wasn't to maim or physically hurt Noone, though she was betrayed emotionally - all of that is recoverable. But going into Nowhere with the Ferryman/Candleman - there is no recovery. There is nothing but death and exploitation.

IN SHORT Otto is no more evil than Noone. For their own ends and needs, they did what they decided to do for selfish ends.

What is your opinion on lumibelle

i find it attractive because i do find the appeal of french-sex-machine vs nerdy-bookworm to be hot. but i haven't written it ever because i've never found a way to really make it work, since you'd have to sideline plumette and adam to make any of the story function (and i love plumette too much to do that, and where the hell do you put adam). I think they occasionally have a passing flirt, but belle knows it's never serious and lumiere just does that with everyone

#you are talking to the candle blog of COURSE i think he has romantic chemistry with everybody. look at him. hot #lumiere is constantly dtf. we know this. but he's also a gentleman and would never do shit unless belle was like #HEY I'VE DECIDED TO ABANDON MY ENTIRE CHARACTER. AND COMMIT ADULTERY. THAT'S SOMETHING I DO NOW #which she wouldn't so. whole point nil unless we wanna write a crack fic #asks #i feel like anon is trying to bait me but oh well. yes i want candleman to fuck everybody. hes too romantic to live

The Energy Crisis

United States Atomic Energy Commission public information booklet, circa 1972.

Note the concern over the environmental impacts of energy production. Glenn Seaborg was an ardent conservationist, and scarcely the only champion of environmental causes among the scientists who led the development of atomic energy.
