There's Also A Non-zero Chance That The Moth Is Actually A Certain Shapeshifter.

There's also a non-zero chance that the moth is actually a certain shapeshifter.

Even though no one's explicitly called it out yet, I'm pretty sure that the moth in Otto's office has something to do with Cici, especially with Noone pointing out how she takes comfort from the fact she's NOT like the moth. With the next episode being called "Two of a kind" there's a chance some of this will be cleared up.

That sentence about moths being drawn to a flame really stuck out. Especially since Noone mentioned she liked catching moths. Otto on the other hand reacted frantically when he saw the moth in his office, so I really wonder what the symbolism of it will turn out to be.

The title "Little Nightmares" finally makes sense!

If, as the ending of episode 3 of TSOI implies, the human world is supplemental to to the Nowhere, then the fact that it cherishes qualities associated with kids (curiosity, honesty, playfulness), which the Nowhere punishes at every turn would make the human world, other worlds like it and their inhabitants the Nowhere's "little nightmares".

So apparently the next episode of Sounds of Nightmares is called "Theatre of The Mind" and I am so excited to see what passes for preforming arts in the Nowhere. Gets me even more hyped for the LN3 circus.

Agree with basically all of this, except the cult has been using Eyes way longer than the boys have been alive, I say using since I think Eyes doesn't know about or at least doesn't condone of the pendants and what the pendants are being used for.

My theory as to why Skid wasn't affected is that he was actually exposed to Eyes as a baby, so the initial "Eyes contact high" did happen, just before he had the capacity to form a memory of it happening.

I think the chess cover for the physical OST is a hint that we're making Eyes out to be more villainous than they are. For example, when someone's eyes glow seafoam green they're not possessed by Eyes, but rather using their energy/power/blessing.

This would explain why both Pump's eyes and Bob's eyes glow towards the end of TT, one is tapping into magically granted knowledge and the other is reanimating himself.

If this is correct, then Kevin and the Hatzgang might also have some dormant supernatural powers, which would be fucking epic!

I think I made a post a little while ago about that, Eyes being a chess piece while the cult are the ones looking over everything makes me think that, with rich families like Roy's and powerful people like Mayor Evermore being part of it, the Cult is more in control of the town than we ever would've thought

I've never seen Eyes as dangerous or an intentuonally malicious villain, I think of it more as like a huge octopus dog that accidentally brought the attention of a powerful cult to it after it saved the son of its previous owner and his friend from a creepy pedo

I've always thought of Eyes having been possessing people, but after what happened in TT (because I doubt Eyes would let someone go after Skid and Pump), that he more grants them heightened mental and physical strength

Oh and also, in pretty sure Bob survived for long because of the pendant he had in his chesr that was shown in the true ending, the ones that the cultists wear, and he only died because Jack cracked the pendant after he had ran Bob over enough times with the car

Also yeah, I have been waiting for the Hatzgang and Kevin to be shown having green eyes, because they saw Eyes aswell, I want Kevin to get green Eyes and go full on Beast Mode to protect the kids

Aka, cult is in control of a lotta inner workings of the town, Eyes can grant immortality to people and the cult is seeking immortality (implied by that one book in the ARG), Skid's dad is implied to have adopted it in some doodles, which may be the reason Skid's got some literal plot armour against it, Bob was able to survive being hit like 5 times with a car because he had a cult necklace, and I want Kevin and the Hatzgang to murder someone

That's actually really clever, another example of how the cult may have been more involved in Skid(and possibly Lila)'s life prior to the series starting.

oh my god a theory just hit me like a fucking rock

So you know how in the episode where Frank has the kid in the back of his van and Skid notices it before pump does..

and when they sat down politely like precious children Pump was the one who pointed it out?

WHAT IF (and hear me the fuck out), the dad™️ used to take the sacrifices home in bags to be given to eyes later, and skid didn’t say anything because he is used to seeing bags like that??????

am I drunk or could this be something..

I can't overstate how great the Sounds of Nightmares is when it comes to showing how terrifying and truly foreign the Nowhere is.

I can look at fanart of the Lady or Thin man being goofy and enjoy it, but when someone draws the Ferryman being goofy I'm like:

NO, NO HE WOULD NOT BE SILLY, HE'S A BLOBBY ELDRITCH MANIFESTATION OF THE FUNCTIONS OF THE HELLISH WORLD THE MULTIVERSE MAY OR MAY NOT REVOLVE AROUND, HE SHOULD BE RESPECTED AS SUCH!!!!!!

All around, a great podcast, absolutely worth a listen even if you don't care about the lore.
