The Sounds of Nightmares episode 1 analysis: Who Works The Workers?
Move over Spooky Month, the professor's got a new hyperfixation!!!
So let's talk about Noone's friend and why I think they're RK.
We know that the Ferryman was at the Stone Giant at the time of Noone's "visit" and the Tall Woman only seems interested in keeping other adults captive. At the end of the dream one of the tall woman's chains grabs the friends legs (like RK's shackle) and she, having no reason to imprison him, would hand him to the Ferryman (Had he not been there RK would probably be put a jar from the room the Ferryman was checking.
Now onto the Workers!
I think they're anti-nomes. They're movement being like a group but also like individuals fits the spread of black mold (which would line up with their pitch black appearance). The fungus connection is made stronger by their behaviour being closer to violent nomes rather than shadow kids o glitching remains.
What is the Stone Giant?
It's a clock... In all seriousness it's a ring shaped prison with a massive clock tower in the middle of a massive snowy field. The key to understanding it's function comes from the photo in Otto's office being an astrolabe and the Tall Woman wanting "something" from inside Noone, something I believe to be a negative emotion that powers the woman's chains. The same emotion farmed from the prisoners +, likely in an effort to keep the workers working and the clock running.
My thought on Otto and Noone will come after my analysis of the bathhouse, since a lot of that will (possibly) involve theories by @queen0fm0nsterz .
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.
