Before Chapter 12:

Well, this is it. I’m going to do the last 2 chapters today so then I’ll be all caught up. After this, I move onto another fandom. If anyone has recommendations, please tell me and I’ll at least explore them and see if I might like it. Anyways, not expecting anything too crazy because it’s not finished yet, but I think something good is gonna happen.

After Chapter 12:

Oh my. I feel really bad for Empathetic Elephant. Eyes ripped out is gruesome. Still wonder if Empathetic Elephant could die and respawn with eyes, since Catie was fully healed when they respawned. Also impostor oooh who could it be?? I don’t know why but Foxtrot gives impostor vibes, like she caused Catie and Od-Dog to go to the gameshow while they were looking for flashlights, probably trying to slow down their progress. That’s all I got. Kinda scared to see what normal Empathetic Elephant looks like.

After Chapter 13:

That sure is a way to end volume 1. Does Catie have some kind of evil clone? I think so but at least that’s the vibe I got. Also, Od-Dog is very different now. It’s kinda scary. He’s too serious. I have one last theory to give before some ending remarks.

• Its a butt theory but I feel like Od-Dog got switched out between chapters. My guess is that some kind of mimic nightmare exists, which replaced Od-Dog, which has been the real impostor, replacing one character at a time occasionally while they are gone.

Closing remarks:

It was overall pretty good, like a 7.2/10. Not my favourite piece of media but still enjoyable. If anyone has recommendations for other series to do this for, let me know. At the time I posted this, I also should have posted a recommendation post on r/multifandom so give m recommendations there. Thanks for being here on this journey, even if this is the only one you have read. See ya!

Before Chapter 10:

Kinda hyped for this one, but I also get the vibe something is going to go very wrong. Sorry about not posting as often, life has been getting busy with school and whatnot. I’ll try to post the last one on either Monday or Tuesday, with the last 2 chapters on it.

After Chapter 10:

Uhh, what?

Genuinely what the heck just happened? I’m so confused right now. I don’t have much to comment on other than holy theorists dream. This has a lot to unpack and I am so confused. Chapter felt too short, partially because there was like no dialogue. Also, I like knew someone was gonna die, or at least the equivalent, but I for sure thought it would be empathetic elephant. Anyways I have a theory just a bad one.

• So in the real world, people like Catie will join the fake world knowingly and willingly, but when inside the world, those memories are slowly erased, then when people die, they are put back to the real world with all their memories from before and during the fake world.
• Also predicting that next chapter is going to go back to the fake world to empathetic elephant and OD-Dog’s povs.

After Chapter 11:

Ok like I knew she was evil but yikes. Also VERY WRONG (I think) WITH MY LAST 2 THEORIES. Also, if everyone can respawn, how many lives do they have? Also, I can only assume Empathetic Elephant is gonna be blind now so if he dies, would that give him back his sight? I don’t know, hopefully something like that gets answered. Overall these past 2 chapters have been great for theorising, but I just don’t know where to go right now. I’ve got nothing. Hopefully some of that gets cleared up in the last 2 chapters!

Hello guys! so I wanted to make a sequel to the recently posted satire fanfic on the Tumblr community called THE FANDOMING (link here! https://www.tumblr.com/communities/the-backwards-house-community/post/824214053646974976?) since the Reddit community is mentioned somewhere, (feel free to comment your ideas after you’ve read the thing,) so if you’re interested, leave a comment, plus your pronouns, and any ideas if you want to since you guys are the root community in this story. This will be satire. I will keep you updated! and yes, I did get permission of the original creator.

TL/DR for those who didn’t read THE FANDOMING…

>!So, Catie, Elliot, Od-Dog, yeah, they finally reached the basement, they then meet most of the Tumblr Community of TBH, so they tell them that they were part of a comic and every event they’ve went through was predetermined by a guy from New Zealand (lmao, And this is where I come in! My tumblr user is Talontbhfan btw,) and that kind of stuff and that they are all part of The Fandom Coven. somebody then literally grabs a door that links to the human part of the TBH universe, and they arrive home! (It is also revealed before then that they shouldn’t have gotten here and it was some sort of glitch. And if everything goes wrong other children in the house who managed to get out will end up in the Fandom Coven. !<

i noticed that most of the nightmare creatures seemed to be based on some kind of phobi

unsure if this is common fandom knowledge

nightmares the the phobias they could represent

the clown(kinda obvious)

the flower(unsure cuz i doubt a phobia of flowers is a thing tho they do kinda remind me of a lion)

the trio of mr smiles eye guy and blade for limbs(unsure about the cyclopse but a phobia of eyes and sharp objects is a thing)

probably just me connecting dots that dont exist but if the nightmares are all based on phobias that be a cool detail

Before ch7:

Not much to say. Sorry for not doing this daily and having it almost switch to being every other day. Again, I just haven’t been enjoying this series too much which is why I’ve been forgetting about it.

After ch7:

This is gonna be fun. It finally feels like I’m past the introduction. The characters are actually starting to work towards a goal and the gameshow is part of that. Hopefully this means that I should enjoy the story from now on. I’ll try to do the next two chapters today as well to get done with the game show. I know because of the chapter titles. Also where did Funky Monkey get a dragon fruit? Keep that stuff away from him.

• The house is 100% more just like an idea than a physical thing, which is why it is built so wierd and is able to change so quickly. I feel like this also means that there is a way to break it and free everyone.

After ch8:

Probably my favourite chapter so far. I liked seeing the characters doing a bunch of silly things and interacting with each other. I will admit, not a big fan of dancing in general, but it should still be good. Literally nothing to theorise about because it’s just a fun chapter but that’s fine.

After ch9:

Good, solid chapter. Not too much to talk about but I do feel stronger in my theory from before. Also, I feel like there is no way anything goes right next chapter, it would end too quickly. My best guess is that something bad is gonna happen to Empathetic Elephant which is gonna leave Catie and Od-Dog all alone to try and escape. Also, I feel like mother knows whats going on, but is playing dumb so that they stop trying to escape and see what happens when they do. No real theories, but I noticed that Catie is having flashes of her life from before, which feel important but I don’t know how.

Before ch5:

Honestly I got nothing. I’ve been just kinda living life as of lately and there isn’t much for me to say about it so far. Only thing I got is that it’s good, but reading it is never something I really look forward to, just kind something that happens. You know what I mean? Anyways I’ll try to get 2 chapters in today as well.

After ch5:

Ok, well that sure felt like a chapter. I feel like the question of “How does one escape” was answered way too easily. Like Catie just asked and was given a fleshed out answer. Also I do not believe Empathetic Elephants bs for a second, ge could not have been sleeping that hard. Also like, what was Catie’s plan for if Mother walked in on them? Anyways, I have one theory for this, which I feel like I need more but this novel isn’t very theoriseable.

• Either Mother has some power to erase memories from someone or it’s that when someone “dies” they don’t really and come back without their recent memories

Was about to start reading chapter 6 but wth does the title mean by censored, like what could possibly happen in this chapter that would need to be censored.

After ch6:

Once again I feel like questions are being answered too quickly. Like this way basically just a summary of what to do in order to escape, except a plan is needed to get past the nightmare and that it has to be done fast. The other theory is wrong probably, so I have a different one now. Also, some of the text is way too small to be read on a phone, it’s doable but very annoying.

• Whatever the escape method OD-Dog tried to use caused him to go insane, which is why he was trapped in his room for so long and forgot his name
• Even though it’s past Od-Dogs and Empathetic Elephants time, Catie will find a way for them to escape or they will die first.

Thats all I got, I’ll be back tomorrow maybe probably

Before ch3:

Sorry I missed yesterday, stuff happened and I ended up forgetting. I didn’t get the band solo which sucks but it’s my fault in the dumbest way possible. Anyways, I’ll try to do two chapter to make up for the day I missed.

After ch3:

Alright, once again not too much to talk about. This chapter felt more like establishing information we already knew. However, the sketchbook was a good detail that gives me a theory, but otherwise I got nothing.

• As the children spend more time in this world, they slowly become less of themselves. At first I thought it would just be major memories but I believe that it’s everything, like skills and possibly some level of personality

Again, not much. Chapters are a bit too short for me but not bad. Time for chapter 4.

After Ch4:

Gang am I dumb? I don’t know how I didnt think that the doors that weren’t recognised belonged to characters we hadn’t seen yet. I just subconsciously thought that it was the rooms of future characters that would join. Generally the characters have started to feel less 2 dimensional and more real, but I got the flat vibe from Posh Pine and Shy Shark again, so my hope is that Skynix or whoever is just not good at introducing characters. Anyways the start gave me enough for one theory so yeah.

• The TV is definitely some kind of hypnosis machine, but now because of that I feel like it’s possible that the original bodies are gone and are being controlled by the same power as the TV. I don’t know tho

Thats all I got, nothing else. I’ll be back tomorrow probably!

Before Chapter 1:

Looks like this is next, and I don’t know how I feel about it. Most recently did this with Murder Drones which is now one of my favourite shows, but I’ve never been much of a graphic novel reader. I’ll try to do one chapter a day until I’m all caught up. I know nothing about this except for the fact that it was made by Skynix who I’ve seen on YouTube a few times. Also if I can get it to work, I’ll try to schedule these for 6:00 AM every day.

After Chapter 1:

Turns out I cannot schedule posts, only mods can, so I’ll just try to do it when I remember each morning.

So far, it’s fine. 1 Chapter isn’t really enough to establish good and thought out characters, so I can’t be too harsh, but right now they don’t feel very deep, like there isn’t much behind surface level. The only real things I got were from Blue and Green (I aint typing allat each time) with their general dynamic, and Red who seems to be the last sane one. Also, despite being the main character, Catie doesn’t feel the most thought out yet, giving pretty plain and average reactions to whatever happens.

Also, there seems to be a lot of parallels with TADC so far, a fairly large cast of characters, who entered a separate world via the use of older technology, with a theme of forgetting their names, having their own unique rooms, a leader of the cast who is a higher level of authority and seems to want the best for everyone while actually being evil, and where eating food is possible but has no effect on anyone. Again, just a few similarities.

Honestly, going into this I want really expecting the writing to be great because I know Skynix for being an artist, not a storyteller. Thankfully, some of the art is great, I like the style and it fits the vibe well, although nothing specific stands out to my as being great. Anyways, time for my theories.

Theories:

• The mother character is definitely evil, or there will be a plot twist where red is evil and the mom is a good guy, probably the first one though.
• If it’s not a plot twist, Red is probably not going to be around for too much longer, I don’t know how death works but it probably exists.
• OD-Dog is probably going to be a secondary protagonist
• The story is going to revolve around escaping this world to go back to the real one
• Even though it has quite childish themes so far, it will take a dark turn, less of a theory more of a statement because it’s rated 16+

Thats all I really have, not too much to go off of but I hope it’s acceptable for now. If there is a better name scheme for the characters please tell me. Might do a double chapter tomorrow if I have time.
