Another interesting fact that I’ve noticed about Pocketcat, he’s in an abusive relationship with Rher, he loves to hurt kids, he says it’s the only thing that bring him joy, but Rher always prevents him to do so unless there are parents that care about them. I think Rher doesn’t just hate humans, but it’s own creations as well, as they will always be half human in some way. That’s why Pocketcat always strive to other people’s love, because it’s own creator hates him.

[@frapollo94]

That's an interesting observation, who knows, maybe deep down pocketcat despite....a very bad behaviour we may say... especially with kids... maybe he didn't want this at the beginning, but he's fine with it!

[@user-dx8dy1uo8b]

@@frapollo94 I mean, the thing is like some sort of Symbiote that jumps from Host to host, so it’s believable to think that rare made him with killing kids in mind, as they ARE effectively the future of humankind, but maybe he likes hurting them because they are blessed with the love that he never received.

We know that Rher is against more gods ascending, so him having Pocketcat trap god candidates in a DN dream makes perfect sense. Le’Garde was too strong-minded to go along with it, so he got locked in PC’s office

[@dumbvillage9253]

You know, i would like you to follow up on as to why the music completely stops once combat starts. Is it because you "snap back to reality" during combat because it breaks the illusion of safety and comfort?

That makes even more sense! After all the lord of flies drags you after a battle, so after you already were breaking the illusion!

[@Tenchigumi]

Whoops, there goes gravity.

[@Marqrk]

Fun theory but I think the second phase of the Kaiser boss fight kind of forces D’arce’s S ending to happen, since we see he loses his skin and is just a red flesh man just like after the resurrection in that ending. This also lines up with his ruthlessness, which is how he’s described in the ending text. The Yellow King ending is much different, as he is said to be benevolent and bring prosperity whereas the Kaiser is never described that way iirc. The S-ending also lines up with his pre-fight text where he talks about how he once thought it was his own destiny to become an ascended god but it passed him by. I think we can probably also say the Ragnavaldr S-ending happens because of August and Moonless’s interaction in Termina, implying August is descended from Rag in some way and his S-ending is the most likely explanation. Moonless wouldn’t be carrying multiple swords from the dungeon if Rag didn’t manage to overcome the horrors of it and walk out with greater strength, assuming he takes Moonless with him

[@frapollo94]

Le'garde ending I disagree but even achieving the S D'arce ending would be possible keeping into consideration that D'arce may break the illusion she's living in if the real Le'garde tried to talk to her! (But still remember that even the creatures in the void lost their skin) Rag S Ending can't be happened because of crow mauler being alive! He could've done those other things like helping moonless before entering in the dream!

[@thechosenone5421]

@@frapollo94 Well, we know that the gods don't lose their skin, only one that did was Chambara, but he was a masochist even before becoming a god. If moonless had brought the girl to the depths she would have died, and if Nilvan could bring the girl herself, she would. If ragnvalder was stuck in a dream, why he would have descendants like August? Also, Pocket Cat never does seem to actually care that much for the players, at least so I think he wouldn't use the powers of Rher for trapping them for the reason of being loved, I don't think he even actually cares if he's loved or not About the fourth wall break, the book lets you choose the story but you're from the point of view of the book character not point of view of player or Funger character. Depression and Happiness are stats that are granted when he asks the character if he's happy or not, so it's not related to fourth wall at all. He breaks the fourth wall at termina, but it's more of a meta commentary that he points similarities to majora's mask

​@frapollo94 wait dind't rag Family died when Le'Garde invaded Oldegård? That would mean he escaped the dungeon and gota new family

[@FreelyFooled]

@@frapollo94 What doesn't connect with Rag dying is that August calls Moonless a family friend, indicating Moonless and Rag escaped together. Though, I don't think that makes the theory less true, Pocketcat could have given up the dream considering he's in Termina and failed if the girl escaped.

[@raioh4747]

I think another cool instance of pocketcat breaking the fourth wall is in the Museum in Termina when he talks about different types of artists and eventually asks us what type of artist is the "one who dreamed this.. The one deep underground". He could also be referring to one of the gods idk but it also works in reference to Miro Haverinen, the one who dreamed up and created the game itself

[@frapollo94]

Yeah that's true!

[@IndigoTeddy]

Interesting theory, but there some things I have to say/ask: 1. How does the Girl survive the Gauntlet by herself? She can't fight unless you give her equipment or teach her magic, neither of which happens in Dungeon Nights afaik. 2. Also, who kills the 3 organs for her to ascend if she doesn't know enough about how ascension works to do it herself? 3. And how does Moonless have all these swords stuck inside her if she escaped by herself? 4. There's a fairy tale mentioning Crow Mauler dating before the time of Captain Rudimer, so the God of the Depths is implied to be able to create a Crow Mauler whenever the previous one died. This means the Crow Mauler that O'saa encountered in the Dungeons before Termina is probably a different bloke than our Rudimer. 5. How does Le'Garde beat the Skin Granny, Valtiel, and Chambara by himself if he's unable to heal himself when and if he escapes his imprisonment? 6. Under your theory, do you suppose that the Dungeon Nights dream sequence happens closer to the end of the Dungeon for all the prerequisites to be met but for the main cast to still get trapped with Pocketcat? 7. If Miro adds a Termina Nights mode to FnH 2, would that be to prevent Logic from ascending, or to ensure that all the contestants become Sulfur cultists, or for some other reason? Thanks in advance, and have a great day. I enjoy all your FnH vids and the podcast you're doing with All-Bones Jones, ADarkRaccoon, and Mauthe Doog.

[@frapollo94]

1: not considering in dungeon nights you have immediate access to all skills and there is money on the ground, also that's too much mixing gameplay with lore 2: organs can be killed by others before entering the dream (such as a certain Oldegard man) 3: she is still in the dungeon by the end, she has time to stick swords 4: Not confirmed 5: mixing gameplay too much, real battles don't take turns, Le'garde is powerful, and he can find a way to heal himself, he prepared this plan a lot, I doubt his plan was just coping 6: If I understand what you mean then yes! 7: I guess we still have to see what's gonna be present in that mode before thinking about it! You're welcome my friend! Of course this is just a theory, if you really scavenge all the dungeon you may find some things that are slightly off (otherwise this would be canon lol) but still it doesn't even make that less sense!

[@IndigoTeddy]

@@frapollo94 thanks fellow Funger enjoyer for the explanations.

I really like Pocket cat because altough he is a disgusting character that does horrible things to children, he is also so complex, when you talk to him he can come out as likeable, the way he talks and the way he pounders about his own feelings and existence can be not just relatable but also worth of sympathy, he is a terrible monster but it's hard to hate him when he is also so charismatic and human. Either way, i guess it makes sense for people to think that his character is so deep, just like his pockets.

Wait, if Ragnavaldr never left and Moonless was the one to lead the Girl, how does that explain Moonless and Auguste being in Termina? Auguste is pretty well implied to be a descendant of Ragnavaldr in some capacity, what with the hair and hunting and Moonless being a "family friend"(also her being alive despite letting the Girl become GOFAH doesn’t track given everything) which does imply Ragnavaldr had his S ending. Isn't that like a big hole in the theory?

I've enjoyed this video more than I have the iceberg one and I see that maybe(?) you've taken some of the things I said to heart as the pacing in this video is much better, you go into detail about more things, and the text is on the screen longer allowing me to read it when I want to. However there still is a problem. Unfortunately I've already spoiled myself quite a bit on this game which is a shame as at this point I probably won't be playing it myself. The game seemed like something I wouldn't enjoy for quite a long time, but as I watched more and more of your videos and streams (as well as other people's) I've grown to really like the game. People are starting to talk more and more about the game so the game is getting more and more popular, and a lot of people will choose to watch the game instead of playing it themselves. The problem is that this game seems to be more like Dark Souls lore wise, by which I mean that people can complete it without really understanding wtf is going on. I'm guessing that your audience in the beginning were fans of Fear & Hunger who have played the game extensively and loved it since they are looking for content on KZbin instead of just putting the game down after finishing it. What it means is that a lot of the stuff you talked about went over my head, and I have watched a full playthrough of the game. I am quite a lore guy, I google things and read the wiki, so I am suspecting it is worse for others. So when referencing things like "Ending C", "Miasma" etc. you can't just say them. You need to provide sufficient context so that people understand the point you're trying to make. Currently I finished the video and I didn't understand what you were trying to say at all as I have no clue what things you're referencing as evidence even are. A video summarizing the whole game's lore would be a solution as people who have no intent of playing the game can get all the lore they need from that. But IMO the best solution for any video essay or theory is to thoroughly go into sufficient detail of every event of the game that you are talking about in it so your whole audience is on the same page. Maybe there's stuff I'm still unfamiliar with even after watching a playthrough, most I've seen were from you and due to the mechanics of the game you understandably skip all of the dialogue due to resource usage over time. Maybe I'm completely wrong on all of this and there's a reasonable way to catch up on the lore without having to play the game myself. But even me feeling like pointing this out should hopefully let you see that there is a problem and it needs some kind of solving. As an expert of a different field I can relate to how easy it is to assume that other people know information which to you is obvious. I used to often go "how don't you even know a simple thing like this???" only to reflect and realize the amount of work that is actually required for someone to figure it out when they start from the very beginning. Another small thing is your accent, while there's nothing wrong about having an accent of course I think a good addition would be some on screen "subtitles" which would serve to drive the point across, like when you get closer to the mic for the Frapollo signature ASMR but in a visual form. Overall despite the above and despite not even understanding what your theory is about I've been really enjoying watching your channel which is why I'm even writing this in the first place. Your personality combined with the contagious passion for the game are a great combo and I would like you to see you go far.

[@frapollo94]

Thanks for your feedback! Yeah I perfectly understand what you mean, my brain automatically thinks that someone who watches theory videos knows the basic stuff such as Miasma or something, but maybe for the future I need to try to go even more into details! About the subtitles I don't think I'm gonna add them tho, I don't have a video editor at the moment and the recording + editing takes away a huge part of my day, in the remaining part I study or am at university, so adding even more work with weekly video releases is kinda difficult! Or maybe I'll change my release schedule... who knows! Thank you once again for the support!

Hey, just stumbled upon this, really fun theory that shows your understanding of the lore. I find peculiar that many comments try to debunk it by pointing to the "canon" events "confirmed" by the sequel when not every event happening in the game can fit. The gamemode could be a trap setup by Pocketcat that didn't end up working in the sequel timeline but the player can still see because this is a game and the narrative structure isn't linear. Even if it doesn't necessarily fit nicely into a timeline there is a lot of merit trying to understand how the gamemode can fit in the world !

NoCommentaryArchive has a video on the PocketCat dialogue at the museum if you want to check this out ❤

Dungeon nights being something to consider within the lore is intresting, very pocketcat like to do.

[@frapollo94]

RIGHT???

[@mister_dadstersays_hi7372]

@@frapollo94 also, as someone who never watched anything dungeon nights related, seeing pocketcat being a school principal is hilarious.

Thanks!

First off, thanks for reminding me how terrified I am of laundry machines after visiting the Sleeping Apartments. Second, all this meta-narrative makes me wonder how amazingly cursed a Fear and Hunger x Undertale/Deltarune crossover would be.

[@suzunyan00]

Man, I know you probably get this a lot, but I genuinely feel like you know more about this game than ORANGE. No but seriously, loved the video, more because Pocketcat is one of my favourite characters, cuz even though he's a creep he's so interesting and layered, and as you covered, there are so many things to discover about him. Please do more theory videos, if you get the chance. These are so interesting to watch. ❤

[@frapollo94]

Aww thanks! Yeah sometimes people tell me that, but it' always nice to hear it! Will try to provide more interesting theories!

[@Wisteria-Moon_]

also of note: Nilvan is awfully suddenly interested in stray cats... and cats of odd colors like rainbow. and asks what would happen if the cat got old.

[@masterzoroark6664]

As much as fun this one is- there's far more things that work against it You meet Ragnavaldr's descendant in Termina not just Moonless

Descendants can be present regardless of Rag dying lol

[@masterzoroark6664]

I didn't expect you to actually be able to tie dungeon nights to the canon, amazing 😄 13:17 do you know how many times i've stepped on that exact nail?

[@scottgerk7627]

Honestly, the level of depth in an RPG maker game of which most players won't see more than 10 mins is INSANE. I've never played the game, but I've been devouring the lore from it and I feel like this well is bottomless. Pocket Cat for mayor

[@CL-np4qo]

Pocketcat is a great character, I like how he's written

[@frapollo94]

Me too!

[@Tenchigumi]

Pocketcat is written like a series of stream-of-consciousness ramblings. Because he's that third type of artist.

[@frapollo94]

I'M NOT POCKETCAT!

[@lopezroilans.8384]

Frapollo really went "It's just a theory, a Funger Theory!!!"

[@LordangeloxD]

Wasn’t the creator of Fear and hunger going to created a game about Pocketcat before it was cancel and decided to make fear and hunger.

[@frapollo94]

Yeah something like that!

[@internetfreak8137]

Pocket cat is Frapollos OC at the end of the day so if he says this is true then it must be

I won't confirm or deny what you just said!

[@papindraWhoTheHellIsPapindra]

Even though I personally have hard time believing in this theory, I must admit the fact you did a great damn job!

[@frapollo94]

Thanks! Yeah it's absolutely understandable, this theory changes the very basics of what a joke game mode should be, but there are so many things that make sense together that I wanted to talk about it, and I'm happy you appreciate the effort!

[@Wisteria-Moon_]

relevant to Pocketcat in general and Rher- In Feat and Hunger Termina, Rhers eyes are Missing. as is his own mask (Seen in his skin bible) He has only craters where they used to be. Of course it could be artistic rendition, but in The Tale of The Pocketcat you can see a Cresent moon with four eyes. I think this symbolizes his not actually being there anymore, not even watching. Just gone in terms of his core presence. And in this, the moon has been unmasked, All his craters showing.

[@nkobal6264]

Matpat if he was based

[@MattyCslim]

I think Pocketcat is based on the work of an artist named Louis Wain (1860-1939). Although Louis Wain was relatively well known for his early works featuring anthropomorphic cats published in scores of magazines and childrens books. He ultimately become famous for his decent into madness. Which gave his later works (again featuring anthropomorphic cats) unsettling and psychotic quality's. Plus when you look at Miro Haverinen (the Fear and Hunger dev...) horrifically twisted characters designs it's pretty obvious that his artistic style is based on a dark and macabre type of abstract surrealism. Another hint backing up this idea can be found when you talk to Pocketcat in the Museum (Fear and Hunger 2 Termina) as I don't believe it's a mistake that yourself and Pocketcat have your conversation while standing in font of a massive copy of "Guernica". One of Pablo Picasso's most famous and disturbing paintings, Guernica was inspired by the 1937 Spanish civil and is known because of its powerful abstract portrayal of universal suffering, especially that of innocent victims...

[@Renuko-9]

Interesting enough that might reinforce the theory, neither on ragnvaldr s route and least probable cahara's route too... you cant see the day shifting outside the dungeon and considering how much time they would spend inside of it and not even seeing the outside being dark, which could give the clue that we're in a dream unless time works differently inside the dungeon

[@MautheDoog]

iirc the door that leads to Pocketcat kidnapping the a child in the Rondon dream instead leads to the student dorms in Dungeon Nights... suggesting he DID kidnap you all

[@frapollo94]

If only...
