HEY GUYS we made it to 100 posts!!!!! YIPPEE!!!

to celebrate, i thought i'd post something Special™: my shitty analysis of FACES-FAMILY that i wrote way before MEAT came out!!!

if you ever wondered where most of my headcanons regarding the killers' personalities came from, here you go!!

warning(s): mentions of csa/beastiality/general sexual violence, canon-typical violence, mentioned car crash, implied drug use(?), uhhh. time travel

FACES

Original 3 paintings were found in an abandoned storage area, notably separate from the victims they depict & seemingly not targeting anyone directly in their positioning

Lots of stab wounds to first 2 victims; killer likely couldn't control themselves & stabbed way past the point of the victims' flesh becoming hamburger meat

Carla's teeth were removed & Jackie was stabbed in the perineum, suggesting a sexual motive (Carla's mouth could have been used for sexual gratification)

We see Painter's handwriting in FACES, it's notably different from that in which the note from FAMILY was written

Carla, Jackie, & James aren't noted to have any dead/missing family members

Jimmy of "Hanging Jimmy" is still missing at the time of writing

Painter & Bruteforce likely met during the 2 months between the first 3 paintings' discovery & the next few paintings' delivery; they may have killed & stalked a few victims during this time

Daniel & possibly Jimmy could have been killed during this time, and Cory, Maggy, & Tom were most likely being stalked (Lisa & Jennifer were killed between the first tape & the discovery of the Collins' car)

THE LIGHTHOUSE

Bill Collins was allegedly clueless to how the self portrait had ended up in his possession; he is likely not one of the killers

The Collins' car was found 12 days after Angel's discovery; the killers likely drove the rest of the Collins to the lighthouse to kill them

The painting of Angel was found in the car, suggesting that this murder was planned in advance to some extent & that the painting was made prior to this event

The "red abstract face" on the door to the lighthouse appears to be Bruteforce, suggesting his influence or presence during the murder

Lisa & Jennifer were likely hostages or were killed shortly after the first tape was released, as they are noted to have been missing for 7 months prior to their discovery (there were 7 months and 10 days between the first tape's creation and the discovery of the Collins' car/the bodies in the lighthouse)

The state of Lisa's & Jennifer's corpses is not described; we do not know how they died apart from the way they are depicted in their paintings

It is not stated how Mia, Isabella, and Bill Collins died, but they had amphetamines in their systems and ended up as a barrel of meat

Judging by the photos, Isabella was likely the 2nd daughter and Mia was likely Bill's wife

The photo of Painter at the end of the tape flickers twice

The only victim introduced in this tape who was depicted in a painting was Angel, suggesting that the rest of the Collins' murders were Bruteforce's work

This is the beginning of the killers targeting families and children, as evidenced by the Collins, the Whites, and Daniel (who was noted to have been a teenager)

IN THE WALLS

The sewing together of Maggy's upper half and Cory's lower half could have been some sort of twisted "artistic statement", possibly related to the new development of specifically targeting families and children (I can't think of any other reason for the "disposable" halves to be stitched together)

The "MEAT" brick was likely another "joke"; the handwriting is likely Bruteforce's (considering that it doesn't match up with the writing on the back of the first painting in FACES)

Cory's genitals were likely removed via some sort of machinery, considering they were in a paper mill

They also could have been bitten/chewed off and the police could have mistaken it for them having been pulled off somehow

Painter likely grabbed Cory with the intent of raping him right then & there in front of his friends; in consideration of this, Bruteforce was likely also there (to hold the other two in place and make them watch)

Cory was likely in the crawlspace when he was grabbed

THE CLUE

The killers likely did not both enter Tom's apartment via the Pipe™; Bruteforce likely entered normally (i.e., through the door) and restrained Tom before Painter came in through the window

If the wax came from outside, then Bruteforce was likely the one to bring it in

Tom may have been a candlemaker (either for career purposes or hobby purposes), therefore already having a surplus of wax in his apartment

The third arm in the wax may be Cory's (since we still haven't seen what happened to his upper half) or Jimmy's (considering we haven't seen Jimmy at all)

"The Man in the Pipes" is 99.9% Sean; he may have been liquefied somehow and placed inside the Pipes™ of his house

The perpetrator caught on Sean's surveillance camera was 100% Bruteforce (the stitches on his mask are visible if you look closely)

Tom is the first victim to not be noted as having any significant family members since the first 3 murders

WITNESS

Jack's photo flickers in a similar manner to Painter's photo from THE LIGHTHOUSE

The killers may have run the car off the road and fought Jack at some point to gain control of the car (and succeeded, evidently), hence the signs of struggle inside the car and the car appearing to have crashed on the side of the road

This suggests that the killers have a vehicle of their own, which would also explain how they escaped before the police arrived

Tina may have been sexually abused by the killers, hence her arms (so she can't fight back) and feet (so she can't run) being removed

The photo of Flora after her attack also flickers in a similar manner to Jack's and Painter's

Jack may have been given an ultimatum: save Tina & Flora or save himself, and he chose to save himself and was let go under the promise that he wouldn't tell anyone

"Long" can sometimes be used in reference to being well-supplied with something (ex. "long on cash" as opposed to "short on cash"), and its use in the title of Jack's painting may be referring to the fact that he's lucky that he managed to get away (the visuals of the painting being a pun)

Tina may have refused to tell about anything that happened beyond her viewing Flora's face after the attack, possibly because of the abuse that she herself endured; the police may have changed the subject to the sketch to distract her and avoid a panic attack

The sketch 100% depicts Painter

Tina, Jack, and Flora may have been viewed by the killers as some representation of a "perfect family" (despite Flora being Tina's sister) or "perfect people" in general; all three of them appear to be conventionally attractive

This may be reflected in the title of Flora's painting, as "flower-face" is sometimes used to refer to a pretty and/or "perfect" girl

PIGS

Mae's hands were likely ripped off as a result of the weight of the horse above her

The "sildenafil citrate" that was found scattered around the mattress likely refers to Viagra pills, while the plain "sildenafil" given to the horse was likely in liquid form

The bandages and penicillin may indicate that one or both of the killers attempted to inject themselves with the liquid sildenafil

Fiona's head was likely used for sexual gratification judging by its placement near the mattress as well as the title of Fiona's painting, possibly by Bruteforce

Interestingly, this could possibly be the first time that Bruteforce has used any victims for sexual gratification; he may have been coaxed into doing it by Painter

The aforementioned point might also explain the use of Viagra pills

The first two faces nailed to the wall are likely James and Lisa, judging by their skin colors

They may also be the faces of Fred ("Flesh Head Fred") and George ("Wet Skin George"), going by the same logic as FACES in which some of the paintings are made as part of premeditated murders that have already been enacted long before the police find the victims

The decapitated pigs may represent what has happened/will happen to Ian's fellow law enforcement officers

This may also be a threat to the police that find the crime scene, i.e., "if you don't give up, this is what will happen to you"

It is not noted how Ian died; he may have still been alive when stitched inside the pig & might have suffocated inside it

Painter may have been staying inside the tack room when not doing murder-related things; may also have been using Fiona's body for sexual gratification

The tape in the mud may have been recorded over by Bruteforce; may have previously been some kind of home video

The unavailable portion of the tape may contain footage of Ian being tortured, which would explain the "I AM BILL COLLINS" hidden message (Bruteforce is mocking Ian's dead associate to taunt him)

FAMILY

Isabelle may have been Zeke's teacher, hence why she was murdered alongside Zeke and his family; the killers probably didn't want her calling the cops after her student had been missing for longer than usual

They put the baby in the toilet

Isabelle could have provided the fake address as per request of the killers after they slipped a note under the bathroom door that gave Zeke's address and the idea that if she did it, she would survive (which was a lie, obviously)

"The Woman in the Pipes" may refer to Zeke, the fetus, or a future victim; original merchandise store URL was "the woman in the pipes", so it's more likely the latter 2

Bruce was likely killed by Bruteforce due to the relatively low amount of stab wounds

Isabelle was also likely killed by Bruteforce due to the use of a power drill, which Painter probably doesn't know how to use

The note with the riddle, judging by the handwriting, was likely written by Bruteforce

The riddle & Isabelle's murder is one big mean-spirited joke about Isabelle's weight

CONCLUSIONS:

Bruteforce was not there from the beginning; the first 3 murders were done by Painter alone

Painter seems to kill more out of passion, both in the sexual sense and for his art; seems to lose control of himself very easily as evidenced by him stabbing Carla and Jackie so many times and grabbing Cory with the intent of raping him in front of his friends

Bruteforce seems to kill both out of enjoyment (indicated by the numerous jokes, i.e., the MEAT brick and the riddle) and out of some sort of ideology that there are too many people in the world and that the human race shouldn't breed anymore

This ideology is likely why the killers mainly target families and children; the only exceptions to this rule being Painter's "earlier work", Sean Kane (who was a law enforcement officer and by extension a direct threat to the killers' operation), and Tom Harris (who may have been killed out of some personal grievance or "artistic vision" of Painter's)

Despite also killing out of enjoyment, he seems to have no sexual motive behind his murders, although he may have some hidden necrophiliac desires evidenced by the fact that he can possibly be convinced to use victims' corpses for sexual gratification

Many of these murders seem to be premeditated to a degree; paintings seem to be made before victims are killed and appear to determine the method in which the victim will be executed

This isn't necessarily to say that the victims are chosen based on the paintings; rather, the paintings are based on chosen victims and the methods by which they're killed is based on the paintings

One of the killers is likely able to drive (note that "being able to drive" is not equivalent to owning a license or having purchased a vehicle; i.e., their vehicle is likely stolen and whoever can drive probably doesn't have a license)

Photos flickering seems to just be an insignificant visual effect; Jack is likely not one of the killers
