Several words: obsession leading to neglect. A recurring theme is obsession, paranoia, and child neglect. I think the people and things being face down and stuck is an allegory for being "too far gone" into a delusion or trend, and that madison falling through the floor is symbolic of a descent into madness, possibly death. The pink thing is probably personification of the combination of paranoia and child neglect plaguing the family. This personally reminds me of an extreme religious household or something, one that practices home remedies over actual medical treatment and as a result, the children of the family suffer, believing that they are riddled with something terrible, and the parents punishing or neglecting them because of that, beit sin/"sinful behavior", or lynks. I don't think that's what this is and allegory for, its just reminiscent of it. There is a potential that lynks isnt even important at all and is a red herring, the real issue being the abuse and neglect of the children due to the parent's insanity and obsession, which is overlooked due to everything else going on

I know I'm six years late but I want to share my interpretation. I think this entire art piece is a statement on anxiety. Madeline is literally sinking through the floor. She's sinking down into anxiety about Lynkes disease, which is ironically manifesting her symptoms. This is common with those with anxiety, they often fear situations so intensely that they end up creating and manufacturing memories and events which didn't happen. Anxiety is all about perception, which explains the common theme there. Everyone in the family is a hypochondriac for Lynkes , and this ends up manifesting in their day to day lives, which destroys the family (as we see in the short film.) I don't think we're meant to take everything literally, I think it is a figurative exploration of anxiety and compulsion, and how it can interfere with people's lives. In reality, the true disease is not Lynkes, it's the fear of Lynkes.

[@katelijnhovestad8382]

[@grape2337]

I know I'm HORRIBLY late, but aside from the overlying "Lynx Disease" sub plot, I think this video shows something A LOT more depressing. The daughter. The subject prone IN the kitchen floor. She'd been lying on the floor for 2 hours, but no one takes any notice. When they do finally notice, they try to blame this on her, first thinking she's crazy, then thinking she's lying and then thinking that she's on drugs. But they never blame themselves. So, we get the horror that ensues: The neglect of everyone in the house, including two younger children. The smoke alarm, screaming above in the kitchen and smoke filling the house. A daughter, trying to reach out to her parents who push her away and blame her for their problems. Parents who clearly can't raise a household pushing weird ideals and horrible teachings onto their children. Elaborating on this point, we can see the forced diet of clay and questionable TV shows "Boomy the Cat" and "Sculptors Clay Ground" that the children have learnt to live with. A more weird thing to take into account around the end are the seemingly meaningless scenes. The ones with a boy's birthdays involved. If you listen closely (or use the CC like me ;D), you can hear the phrase "but no present for the birthday boy" in one of the scenes. Combine this with the children all lying face down can show us another overlying theme of neglect; a child meant to be given attention and love not given any that ends with a situation no one can point the blame at. This video isn't just about insane parents. It's about child neglect, and how that can effect those around. Like with the repairman, trying to cut the daughter out of the hole, desperately trying to fix something already broken, before being pulled away by the abuser to try some other insane idea they have.

[@EdJonesVideos]

There's a thing about good horror getting at something taboo or uncomfortable and I'd completely agree that this achieves exactly that. He subverts our expectations of a household ('people' not 'a family'); then, to me, it is about dysfunction in the family unit and, as you say, the idea of not hate exactly, but the lack of love in the family and neglect on the part of the parents. I think when the film is explored from that angle, you get towards this abrasive, shocking final act where we Resnick basically says that familial lovelessness is an epidemic - we see everyone suffering in some form, but the grandmother, who (I think crucially seems more interested in the strange, somewhat inexplicable modelling lore) has apparently finished her parental duties, spends much of the film completely oblivious. Between this and Unedited Footage (where we are also in a very consciously domestic setting), I think Resnick is really talented at presenting family psychodrama in horror tropes.

[@bojanglesfries]

Don't forget the young boy, Jackson. He has basically no lines and is ignored by his parents. His bed has no sheets and his room is basically just his grandmother's room. Unlike Madison there isn't anything wrong with him (except precocious depression most likely), but his family still treats him like metaphorical chopped liver. Same for the child who is allowed to run outside unattended. The name also plays some prevalence, as those in the house are so dysfunctional they are just a gaggle of people, not necessarily a full family.

[@jamie6524]

[@KlutzyNinjaKitty]

You just turned on a lightbulb in my head. Perhaps this series is also about depression? A lot of the things the parents tell Madison are things many people are told when they try to open up about their depression (Ie. "You're crazy, you're on drugs, you're just looking for attention, etc.") And it would make sense with how Madison is sinking through the floor since, for some, depression makes you want to lay down and do nothing until you die. Her sinking into the floor could also be interpreted as Madison "Rotting away" until she "dies" (when she hits the mattress.) It also makes sense since recorded cases of depression have been rising, especially in our youth. Grandma's oblivious to it all because her generation didn't deal with that stuff at all. The parents, to me, represent current adults who are in denial of their problems and try to bottle it all up. Like how the dad was singing "It's Your Flag" and how the mom is frequently brought to tears "Because a character died." I've often said the same thing to dodge people asking me why I've been crying. Finally, you've got the kids who are hit the hardest simply because they're kids who still don't know how to handle their emotions. In this case, they are being emotionally neglected by their parents who would see their kids having problems as a failure on their part. After Madison falls through the floor, everyone outside the house is laying down like she was. If we do interpret Madison falling as her dying or possibly committing suicide, then everyone outside could represent how, after someone, especially a teen, kills themself, the community as a whole is struck by depression. Almost spreading like an epidemic. In this theory, things like The Sculptor's Clayground and Lynx Disease represent how society overall treats depression. It's a bad thing that you shouldn't have but no one can say for certain why people get it or how to 'fix' someone who has it. Like the webpage says, "You DON'T want to get it. You DO want to get rid of it!" The Sculptor's Clayground fits very well since taking up a new hobby, or using art to vent, is a common way people cope with depression. Admittedly, I'm a bit tired so my sleepy brain could be seeing things that aren't there or THHPII is so open to interpretation that you could come up with any theory and it'll work.

Okay, so, there's one really important thing about Jackson that cat daddy totally ignores here. In the text message from Madison to a friend talking about Jackson's Boomy drawings, she says "I'm pretty sure there's no character who's all pink." All pink? *ALL* *PINK?* Where have we seen an all pink character in all this stuff? The bedsheet-wearing pink ghoulish thing, of course! And if those _are_ Jackson's bedsheets, doesn't it make sense that he might have seen it? Perhaps Jackson has a deeper connection to this than we think. His birthday party gets interrupted by his older sister and at the end of it all, the partygoers appear to be in rough shape. A kid would be awfully upset if their birthday party was ruined, right? It would be a SAD DAY. And his BEDSHEETS are missing. Pretty significant words, right? There has to be something deeper behind all of this. Jackson is more involved than we think.

And another interesting thing about the logs: repeated references to something called "Room X". I don't think that room is ever actually shown, but it is reference numerous times, including a 1 second video we can't see where Jackson goes in there.

[@xandrite_]

This probably won't get seen in the piles of comments, but to make an observation on the clayground subject: The host mentions an ex named Sam, who left him after he committed a crime. After watching the video back and some notes on the site, it's possible either this Sam was a gifted musician that he never felt good enough for, or Sam isn't really his ex, and Sam is attracted to a musician, that the host killed. "This here is a piano wire that a more musically gifted person could use to turn a wooden gourd" "Lynks gave me perfect pitch" It's entirely possible that the clayground host made up this lynks narrative to cope with the fact he isn't talented enough for this Sam (and the fact he's nuts)

okay this is gonna be a lengthy response but this is my take on the project. like this video says, lynks is not a physical disease, it's a disease of paranoia. once you've heard of it, you become paranoid that you've contracted it, and you start acting as though you have the symptoms even when you don't. it's the placebo effect. essentially you're a hypochondriac and because you've convinced yourself you have the disease, you subconsciously start to act as though you do. you hear about new symptoms of the disease - through the newsletter, for example - and then suddenly you happen to have those symptoms too. tom loses motor control of his body not because of any physical toll the disease has taken on him, but because he's convinced himself he has it and his body starts reacting accordingly. i believe that the point of the project is that us audience members become infected by lynks too - we get swept into the paranoia of trying to understand this disease. we get "infected" by watching the first 11 minute video, and once the seed has been planted, we start looking for answers. just like it sends the family members into hysteria, it sends us audience members scrambling to make sense of it all. the more we look into the clues, the videos, the audio recordings, the text files, the more confused we become and the more desperate we are to find an answer. each clue we find brings us no closer to understanding what is truly going on, and that's because there is nothing to understand, there is no answer or solution. this causes us, as well as the family members, to go insane as we look for "links" - or clues - that will lead us to understand what lynks disease is. alan commented something about finding an R. i believe the point of alan commenting this was to send us off searching for more clues again - clues that won't lead us anywhere. maybe there is an R somewhere, maybe there isn't. regardless, it won't bring us any closer to understanding lynks. and that's the point, because there is nothing to discover. lynks isn't real, it's just paranoia and the idea that a seed planted in your head can cause you to make something out of nothing. alan is trying to mess with us again to drive us further into paranoia. the thing that i think really supports this conclusion is the fact that all of the people behind this project included random easter eggs and sometimes the other people on the project wouldn't even know about them. if the people working on the project weren't aware of all the easter eggs put into the film, clearly they don't serve a significant purpose in helping us identify what's going on. i guess you could call the easter eggs / clues "red herrings." the easter eggs / clues are meaningless - they aren't meant to lead you to any sort of conclusion, they're just there to give you the illusion that there IS a solution to find, when in reality there is not. we've become infected by lynks disease because of our frenzy in searching for the meaning of it all and trying to understand what lynks is, just like the family members. just look at how much time this guy spent looking into horse apples! of course, this theory does lead us to some questions though. if lynks isn't real, why does it have material consequences on the family members' lives? why does madison sink through the floor into the basement? why is there a pink thing occupying the house? as stated in the video, these supernatural occurrences could all be a metaphor for the paranoia caused by the family trying to understand lynks and by their concern that this supposed disease will hurt them. and what about the cartoon cat? perhaps the ridiculous parts of the film are meant to symbolize the hysteria of it all. i don't have all the answers, but i'd love to hear what other people think.

+Fyrsiel Maybe you guys are onto something. Just as "unedited" had a very simple idea or theme once you put together all the bizarre seemingly random pieces (antidepresants causing murder suicide) this one could be hypochondria and self obsession causing damaging introversion. I left the room for a bit and did some other stuff and the idea came to me, I was so bugged by how little sense the "falling through the floor" thing made. Then it just fucking hit me. I asked myself what we knew about that girl, since knowing SOMETHING would be a clue. We knew nothing. Why? Nobody seemed to talk about her, nobody seemed to have conversations with her. She could have been dead and the first instinct for several hours was that she was just faking for attention. She was phasing through the world because she was gradually ceasing to become a part of it. The boy was still the subject of attention, but it is clear he would be in the same situation eventually as the baby takes center focus and his neglect goes to an even greater extreme. It explains so much, like the otherwise weird "when she falls through, everyone tell her we love her" bit. His revelation was that they were losing her, so the last ditch effort was to make her feel validated as soon as the opportunity came. We see two possibilities (she falls through the mattress and then the world itself) or she lands on the mattress and everyone tells her they love her and she is in their field of perception again. Good or bad ending? No, both are bad endings. Clearly this is a metaphor for suicide, the family thinks she is "faking it for attention" until they are clearly losing her for real. How does the family react? They take the mattress (which already has no bedsheets) from their slightly less neglected child, in order to save the daughter. So if this is metaphor, it could be presented in this way, the family sees that her suicidal behavior is not an act and they finally focus on her and give her the love and attention she needs, but in the process take love and attention away from the boy. We already see him acting completely depressed and uncaring of everything. He will be the next to phase through the floor. Why the people at the party too? No fucking clue, makes about as much sense as the pink freaking monster. Maybe it's not suicide but "phasing out" of their lives. The daughter was "drifting away" but the entire affair or just the seeming rudeness and lack of interest in the guests causes them to start fading away from the family as well. Yeah, that one has a lot of holes in it too. Still trying to make sense of this. I can't help but mention this mind splinter that's bugging me. The boomcat thing. Obviously sonic, right? Ok maybe the actor playing the "thing" is the dad, but what if that is just because they had to reuse actors? Yes the dad's interest in the cat could be seen as a clue to this secret, and I find it the most likely, but it does seem worth noting that we know of another "alan" character who likes the color blue, who we have seen eat garbage, who we know could potentially be violent (the mother's concern of the cartoon being "violent" seems a little out of nowhere given the clues we have about the cartoon but could be a clue of the characters identity) and who is childlike enough to have an obsession with such a cartoon character. Yeah, you probably see where I am going with that one. I couldn't help having that thought as soon as I saw the costume, and this character roaming from house to house eating up all the garbage. But yes, the dad does make far more sense, but there is another thing that bothers me. First the kid has the interest in boom, then the dad has a slight interest (I remember parts of the song) which clearly grows, and then we see the wife start to build an interest even though she dislikes the character at first. The point? Maybe another example of this idea becoming flesh. Maybe that's what the perception theme is, our beliefs and thoughts influencing perception and our perceptions influencing reality. This explains everything, EXCEPT THAT CREEPY PINK FUCKING THING! But it explains boomy "becoming real" it explains the symptoms from this nutty disease crafted by this nutty guy becoming real, and then the disease itself becoming lethal for the people outside the home. It explains the researchers treating the disease as real and noting diagnosis even when doctors do not. BTW, why do the doctors treat it as a real disease at all? Are they in on it, or could the disease be real in this universe? But maybe the researchers are studying the effects of perception, of belief. Maybe that's the importance of the clay pizza. It's not that they are in some clay eating fad to cure the disease, they believe they are eating pizza......except that doesn't explain the spitting. Nothing really explains the spitting. Yeah ok, sleep time.

I like Night Mind's idea that the pink guy represents fear/paranoia infiltrating the home. And it apparently stole the brother's bedsheet...! I think the idea that beliefs eventually become, or possibly warp, reality is a good one. Our paranoia and fear can distort our perception of reality. And in this bizarre universe in this series, this could be very literal, and that might be the idea. Their fears literally become real as they grow and gain more emphasis. I'm not so sure that Boomy is Alan instead of the father. I think the father's obsession with the cartoon is representative of something. Either the guy is just strange in what he starts to obsess over, or maybe it's that sort of situation where the father figure in the family ends up being more childlike and not too great at maintaining responsibility as a father figure should. Or maybe the stress of trying to maintain a household is getting to him and he's cracking. Maybe he misses his childhood. But I do think the whole Boomy thing is the father. Just not 100% sure what it means. Finally, the girl falling through the floor. I think it is an excellent metaphor for suicide. At the very least Depression. As for all of the people outside who are also on the floor? Perhaps that is to say that everyone has their battles to fight with. And it wears us all down.

I really relate with the whole Jackson hiding things in his bed. If you notice, one of the things he grabs off the living room table is a bunch of cupcakes. I think, among other things, he’s stashing food in his room, something I did as a kid because I wasn’t sure when we were going to run out.

[@Ryuhza]

I think child neglect ties in as well. You've got Madison, left on the ground for two hours before she actually starts sinking through the floor. Then Jackson, the birthday boy, who is left alone or ignored for the majority of the video, has to share a room with the grandma, and who has no bed sheet. And of course, the baby, who--after being passed off to the oblivious grandma--is immediately forgotten and left to crawl out the back yard to who knows where. Like the parents are so caught up in their anti-Lynks mania that they fail to notice or recognize the very real issues facing their children.
