I made a Chai AI of Dr. D. Light since his Character AI chat has gotten 61k chats.

So I guess you can fuck him now or whatever..

I don't really care- what I'm hoping is that people won't talk to him and he immediately tries to do that since those are the AIs on there-

Although, I know he will engage in seggs if he wants, I'm hoping yall can have normal roleplays or chats with him without that if ya want-

Is the Spine still a victim of G.G.'s wheel addiction abuse or

Spoilers for the Not Live and Not in Person Show below the cut:

For context, in the Not Live and Not in Person Show, Rabbit mentions that she saw The Spine feed Zer0's firetruck wheels to G.G. and The Spine confesses that he's been feeding G.G. all of Zer0's wheels.

LATER, when the bots reveal what they're doing after the show, The Spine says he'll be stealing wheels because G.G. demands it every day and that it's serious. The band asks him if he's okay and if he's being blackmailed to which he starts crying and venting about having to do this all the time before quickly pulling himself together and insisting that everything is okay. He thinks that if he keeps feeding her wheels, she'll eventually be satisfied and stop asking for more.

Like what kind of It's Not Me, It's My Basement stuff is going on here.

#I know in the final cut he said it was just for humor but like what if it was canon #WHAT IF he was just covering up his tracks so that if G.G. found out he told anyone else. he wouldn't receive a harsh punishment #I'm going into crazy theory territory here #Z:He's really in trouble S:N-Yes. but please don't send us your wheels #spg #steam powered giraffe #the spine spg #gg the giraffe #it's not me it's my basement #shout out to any spg fans who are familiar with its not me its my basement btw #I'm on my way to write a horror game where The Spine is the mc and G.G. is the villain #not actually but that'd be dope

In response to Embry's favourite food being peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, do they prefer smooth or crunchy peanut butter? And is raspberry jelly (from what I remember from playing INMIMB) their favourite type of jelly, too?

Raspberry jelly is my favorite, which is why I used it in the game haha!

I can't remember if I ever said if Embry's favorite is raspberry or grape....

I feel like Embry would prefer smooth peanut butter, though!

I just think they're neat

The two main characters from a couple of horror games made by arcadekitten, they're both very good short horror games and I believe they're both free, I highly recommend trying them out.

#it's not me it's my basement #crowscare #embry inmimb #ryo crowscare #embry is canonically nonbinary and I think they're wonderful #the characters in these games are so incredibly likable #horror games that I desperately don't want to be horror games and just want all the characters to have happy normal lives

It's Not Me, It's My Basement

Explained

⚠️ WARNING ⚠️

This Post Contains Soilers Following the First Paragraph.

Proceed with Caution.

That's right! It's Halloween time, my favorite holiday ever, and I'm back at it again with the semi-extensive theory posts. This time I'm tackling something in one of my favorite genre of media -- Horror RPG Maker Games.

Last night I experienced an adorable, eerie little game called It's Not Me, It's My Basement.

Developed by arcadekitten, the incredibly short-&-sweet story follows a non-binary child named Embry G. Oliver who is hiding a horrible monster in their basement. Although they didn't see it for themselves, they believe that the monster ate their parents, and Embry now feeds it whatever they can so that it doesn't attempt to eat them too. Unfortunately, as the story progresses it appears that the more the monster eats, the stronger and hungrier it becomes...

The story then begins to reach its climax when Embry visits the market to find a traveling doctor in town. Since Embry has been telling the villagers that their parents are bedridden sick, they're forced to meet Dr. D. Light (who is acutely of his punny name) and take him back home. Dr. D. is incredibly kind and helpful, even capable of making Embry trust him enough to open the basement door. However, in an attempt to stop him from descending the stairs to meet the monster, Embry accidentally pushes the Dr to his death. Truly tragic ...

Throughout the entire short story, the monster is never truly seen. However, it does demonstrate its ability to mimic voices and presumably shapeshift, all the while acting mercilessly manipulative. By the ending, that took me entirely by surprise, Embry has a nightmare where they confront the demon and get consumed by it, only to wake up and brazenly descend the basement for real.

And that's it

That's where it ends.

Boom, roll credits.

Now, my intense OCD ass simply can't cope with an ending so sudden and inexplicable, even if it was written incredibly well. In fact, the entire story was cryptic and felt immensely symbolic, steeped so heavily in allusions to depression and guilt that you could serve it at tea-time. So of course, I began to research popular opinions and theorize about what all of it really meant.

Now, the most popular theories (and almost exclusively) are either:

1) Everything is exactly as it's spelled out for you. A monster ate Embry's parents, it can shapeshift and manipulate, and Embry finally gains the courage to confront it instead of running away.

2) Embry actually has a Split Personality, or psychotic alter-ego, which murdered their parents and now the Main Personality of Embry is living with guilt that they don't entirely understand.

3) Something bad happened to Embry's parents that, as a child, Embry cannot understand and the entire story of the game is Embry suffering from traumatic hallucinations.

Obviously, these all have some pretty big flaws. The first theory is simple enough, but relatively uninspired, and feels rather like an insult to the thought put into the nuances of the story. Not to mention, Embry, their parents, and even Dr. D. Light cameo in other arcadekitten games that canonically take place afterwards.

Which farther disproves the second theory, since the characters are all clearly alive and well. Not to mention, as someone with a lot of experience in the field of child trauma and psychological issues, the story really gives no hints whatsoever to Embry potentially having a split personality. Nor does it hint at any potential triggers that would cause them to kill their parents.

And the third theory is the best yet, but still leaves some holes.

So, after careful consideration, I offer you my inspired theory: The Coma Dream.

Perhaps they were in an accident with their parents, like a car crash (or in this world, carriage crash). They were sent into a coma and assumed their parents died based on the sounds they'd heard, since while in a coma they couldn't remember the details of what happened.

Being a child, Embry would have related the sounds they heard during the accident to some sort of monster. Especially if they were asleep when the accident occured.

Within the mysterious subconscious of a coma they could have fabricated a story based on their fears about what really happened and what life would be like without their parents. The heavy theme of guilt and mistakes would even be Embry's immature mind trying to cope with what happened, and feeling like they had done something wrong since they couldn't really understand it all.

Kids have a tendency to blame themselves for things that weren't their fault, simply because they don't understand the situation.

Then of course, facing those fears in the basement is what allows them to wake up.

This even potentially explains Dr. D. Light. Considering Embry's mother was a nurse, as revealed in her cameo in Crowscare, the Dr could be her boss or the family's personal doctor. Someone Embry trusted and liked.

Although Embry acted like they'd only just met the Dr, it isn't unheard of to not entirely recognize (or only subconsciously recognize) someone typically familiar in a dream.

And have you ever had a really intense nightmare where things start to get better, and you think something good might happen and help you, but then your fear and anxiety of something bad ruining it actually causes that to happen in the dream?

Because I have and that would explain why Dr. D was so reassuring only for Embry to panic and push him down the stairs. The more they worried about D getting hurt, the more they thought about what bad could happen, and suddenly those thoughts came to fruition.

Following this theory, after facing the monster in the basement, Embry may have either unlocked their memory about what happened -- a painful, terrifying memory that they were trying to hide -- or perhaps they merely finally gained the courage to wake up from their coma. Either way, when they wake up their parents and Dr. D would be safe and sound, and they could all live together happily again.

Of course, this is only a theory, so I'd love to hear your thoughts on it!
