What REALLY Happened? The Beginning of FROM Explained

[@charleswebsterjr.6350]

They can literally make a spin off series on From, and do a series on the Beginning From and how it all started and came to be ( the town, boy in white, children, man in yellow, town, people turning into monsters etc) . It would build alot more suspense to the Current From in season 4.

[@MarkHanna23]

When stories are written it’s not all done at once. Authors of books change things, you’re witnessing a book being written just in the form of a series.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Exactly. But that means exactly what I said versus other channels saying this has always been planned and mapped out since season 1, when it hasn’t. But they want you to think that because they need it to be for their theories to work.

[@fuzzymeep]

​@@TheFacelessGirlYTIf the show writers are able to willy nilly scrape fatamas original baby story line, just to bring back a creature presumed to be a fan favorite then this show has lost a lot of credit. Remapping all of the third season because of how people talked about the ending of season 2 is wild

[@bbrockva]

Interesting that Ethan said the story can't be changed because it's already been written, when that's obviously not true of the show itself.

[@Noqtis]

Actually there are two ways to tackle a grand narrative. 90% of all authors are architects. They line out their story from beginning to end and don't never deviate too far from the concept. 10% are gardeners. They plant seeds and watch them grow. Go along with the flow and open themselves for the same kind of surprise their readers will have. Both ways are proven and legit but the second is much harder to execute and if you aren't the type for this you will fail horribly even as a good writer. Now the problem starts when an architect makes a good season and has his story laid out for two other seasons. The exes come to him and tell him he has to make it longer. Sometimes after the last season aired. So the writers never truly know when to end and how and most never do. Because people try to earn money longer than those shows are able to generate. I think they had a cool end in mind but they got told to make it longer and now they are making shit up on the fly and have to deviate from their initial plans and ending.

[@Basura3107]

I think the eternal life and sacrifice of children will be explained as the adults being tricked into killing the children to go home, not knowing it would actually turn them into monsters and given eternal life. Just like how Sarah was tricked, but on a grander scale of sacrifice. I think that the key to breaking the sacrifice and reincarnation of Jade and Tabitha will be Boyd and his ultimate decision

[@monamarie1984]

I watched the first two seasons when they came out. I just finished the third. Why is Boyd so important? I'm sure there are theories out there.. Maybe I'll find em. But I'm curious if maybe I missed something 😂😂

[@Basura3107]

@ Well Boyd is the decision maker around the town. Like the story explains, a lot of the people look to him for help and to explain things when shit hits the fan. That’s why it’s been important to watch the people lose trust in him lately. Once that trust is gone, is Boyd still going to protect everyone in the town? Or will Boyd say F it and only worry about himself? The town is trying to break him and I think that will play an important part at the very end of the show. Especially if he has to choose between this person dying or these people dying, which we’ve seen him make those choices multiple times throughout the seasons. I think he’s gonna sacrifice himself at the end though 😮😂

[@Shanannigan1]

I think that the Boy In White is Jade/Tabitha's original son, and the one child who survived the sacrifice. I think that's why he's also seemingly linked to Ethan and Victor.

[@victoriaj1908]

I thought she said they had a daughter…

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Their original child was a daughter. The writers can def pull a “you forgot you had a son” too but I just think they overlooked this plot like they did with Eloise going through the tree for example. That would’ve been a great twist their child being BIW but it’s probably more straightforward than that when you take into account the patterns of the writers

[@Shanannigan1]

@@TheFacelessGirlYT Yeah, what I mean is that they may have had two children. Just as Tabitha/Miranda both have a son and daughter, Jade/Tabitha's original lives may have also had a son and a daughter. The daughter was sacrificed, but the son survived and is the boy in white. And the Boy in White is linked to Victor/Ethan because they are all the sons of Tabitha's reincarnations. Having a son and a daughter might also be what Jade was referring to when he said "We used to sing THEM lullabies" I don't recall Eloise going through the tree though. I think she's probably still alive though. My running prediction is that Eloise is a story walker like Julie, and she's the one who has sent the dogs to help people, coinciding with one of Victor's drawings that I believe show Eloise and him, with a dog beside Eloise.

[@Shanannigan1]

@@victoriaj1908 Yes, they did. What I mean is that there's a pattern of both Tabitha/Miranda having both a son and daughter. So Tabitha/Jades original daughter was sacrificed, but the boy in white may be their son.

[@ChArLie360115]

I second this ​@@Shanannigan1

[@davidagiel8130]

The cave painting is the Hero's Journey on a wall, with an infinity sign at the end to signify its looping. The boats arriving are the first threshold. The children sacrificed, and the rebirth of Smiley is the great ordeal. The next big even is the town massacre, the house surrounded by red figures. Season 5 will be the return threshold.

[@Rainbow_Mage_AU]

I've been thinking about Ethan's role in Season 3, particularly how he's been sharing such detailed information with Julie, like when he mentioned the threshold and other specific details. It struck me as odd because, as a 10-year-old, he shouldn't reasonably have access to this kind of knowledge. This led me to develop a theory: Ethan might actually be possessed by, or contain a part of, the Boy in White. Rewatching parts of Season 1 with a friend has made me notice some things that support this idea. The first clue is in the RV scene when Ethan got impaled. I think he might have died or at least been close to death. During his seizure, the Boy in White could have either possessed him or implanted part of his essence into Ethan. This would explain why Ethan survived and suggests the Boy in White may now be sustaining Ethan’s body. After that moment in the RV, Ethan started seeing the Boy in White, which seemed strange, almost like the Boy in White was adjusting to being in Ethan’s body. Now, with the Boy in White influencing or potentially controlling Ethan, it gives him a way to shape the story indirectly. This connection might also allow the Boy in White to get around any rules preventing him from directly interfering with the story. This is still an early-in-development theory, but I would love to see what others think!

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

It’s definitely an interesting theory but I think Ethan’s knowledge of tropes of hero stories come from exactly that, his reading and book obsession. I think that’s why they make stories so central to his chatacter. And it’s definitely not unheard of as an intelligent child. I think his seizure leans more into the fact that him and a few other characters have seizures when receiving visions, something that has been confirmed dialogue wise by a few characters as well. The effect of being in the town and being more sensitive to the magic of it. Him seeing the boy in white after the seizure seems more like just the order of the plot, because him seeing the boy in white links more to him being a child in fromville than surviving death. Which I think leans into the common trope of children again being more sensitive to the supernatural in general seen in many sci fi stories and in real life. But Ethan being influenced or controlled by an entity is still definitely possible.

[@WithMarianneMoore]

It could be a twist on explorers searching for the fountain of youth in the early 1500’s

[@michaelmassaro4375]

[@MrDhartz]

Something that has been nagging me for a while, is that they have mentioned many times that the monsters never run, only walk. But in the scene when Victor's mom gets killed by Smiley, he is running towards her. Don't know if it has any meaning, just weird that it's the only time you have ever seen them run.

[@NatLli]

as kenny had said, monsters don't run because they know that that their victims have nowhere else to go. but with miranda it was different, she was about to go through the faraway tree, to escape and possibly finish her quest. the monsters can run, just like to play and torment their prey, i believe they will run in s4, matches the cycle

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

The writers cleared this up as well. The monsters could always run they choose not to. As stated by Kenny is Season 1 Episode 2 “they walk because they know there are only so many places we can run” I assume Smiley ran because he needed to keep Miranda from reaching the tree. And we will end up seeing them run again.

[@JeremyDeere]

Love your theory! I think your very close to the truth! I do have an observation about the cave painting. First, The images in red are "bad" or under the evil entity's control. The lighthouse is red and shining towards the red people. Second, the infinity symbol is clearly broken or not completed with a slash through the middle. I think this slash could be the pocket dimension and this pocket dimension must be closed to complete the infinity symbol or "mending the correct flow of time".

[@cosdnb7998]

when the children poured their hope into the roots which became the tree, what if the tree isn't the far away trees but the fallen tree that traps people in the town. they put their hope into trapping people there so the trapped people would figure out how to save them. I don't think the cave painting tree at the end of the river is the same tree because its still standing, people say it's the fallen tree because it's black but I'm not convinced. when they are looking at the symbol created by the roots, they can see the sky above, as if the tree above has fallen.

The show reminds me of the short story "The monkeys paw" where your wish is granted, but always at a cost.

[@miagordon8538]

I love that you said trickery. I think it an entity that is trapped. I think it’s Loki god of mischief. I also think that the woman in the kimono whispered a spell to Elgin. He didn’t hear what he thinks. This entity causes a lot of confusion and munipulates the ppl in the town. So they don’t communicate with each other like they would in the real life. Miranda gave so much more info about fromville and what was going on to Victors dad. She didn’t do that in fromville. I think he and she was brought back to keep fromville a secret.

[@shunnamaewilliams9989]

I believe that Julie is going to go back and save the children. She is the only character who has had a significant interaction with every point of view character. She's the only one shown going back in time. Since she's the daughter of one the reincarnated, then it's possible that Eloise could've been a storywalker as well.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Definitely possible for sure. But that would also insinuate she is the reincarnation of the child who was sacrificed which then doesn’t make sense. But I believe just off the fact that she can story walk through her connection to the ruins this could still play out.

[@shunnamaewilliams9989]

@TheFacelessGirlYT I was thinking that sense they were kids who weren't supposed to be born (Victor Eloise Ethan and Julie) because their mom was supposed to have immortality in Fromville but is able to come back after having a full life outside of Fromville because of her not being compliant with the sacrifice. I believe her children are the key to saving her first child.

[@tanman9296]

I have a theory that in fromville there are several entities all competing for complete control of fromville. The sacrifice made the monsters entity more powerful and they took over the other entities and locked them away or converted them to follow the new supreme leader. Maybe Martin was an entity who once had control of fromville but lost it once the man in yellow or his boss took over and made a deal with the townsfolk

[@saintgio3]

They also said that they regretted killing smiley, so when they brought him back it was a little more obvious that there wasn't an entire story set in stone from the start

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Exactly

[@zacisyahu]

in a recent interview they confirmed that they write subplots on the fly. they leave “breadcrumbs” that can later play a role in later writing. they said they didnt have a plan to kill smiley in the earlies only that they wanted to convey that the original people were granted eternal life and they wanted to illustrate it with drama rather than just having it be stated that they have eternal life. so when they decided to kill smiley they already knew that they would bring him back to illustrate the eternal life. They said they do know where they want to end up story wise and that the main plot is already accounted for and that guides them loosely. So there is a mix of intentional writing, happy accidents and on the fly creativity.

[@vitality7195]

Sara attempt to sacrify Ethan. Also not letting this place to take Boyds soul makes her a moster in 4th season.

[@scottstewart4621]

Thank you for your videos, I think you have some of the best theories. Here are a couple theories I have you might consider: 1. Memories of Fromville is how they get there. It seems that many of the residents have had dreams or visions that send them to Fromville ie Miranda’s acid trip, Elgins dream etc. Could it be that remembering the past life is what brings them into the universe. Tabitha lost a child and Boyde finally got a boat, could this be what reminded them of the Fromville story? 2. There are two ways to play the game. We see characters such as Tabitha try to learn more about the town to save the children. These events lead to changes in the town, such as the the hole she dug which lead her to the caves to see the paintings and remember the children. Other folks such as Boyde set rules to survive and stay in the town which keeps things the same. Could the man in yellow have been a former resident who has chosen to protect the rules of the game as to not change anything? Not a complete theory but an idea I have been working on.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

It’s possible IF everyone in town is a reincarnation. But I believe based on canon, Jade and Tabitha are the ONLY reincarnated past residents. Everyone else is just destined to be here because the entity chose them or they are related to the two people who were reincarnated

[@travelinlight1141]

16:12… I have theories about the kimono lady that might explain why that symbol resembles smiley bursting from the placenta… Kimono lady wears a birthing Kimono so maybe she’s the mother of all monsters… or maybe the original monsters didn’t need to be reborn to become monsters, they are extremely hard to kill and kimono lady is fromville’s midwife there to find women in each cycle to birth a monster should one die in that cycle. Thinking back to when smiley died it’s hard to tell if the monsters were reacting to something they saw for the first time or if they were retreating because they knew what to do next which was send the kimono lady in to do her part.

[@maze9415]

Love the thought process , especially with the sacrificed kids. My short take without going into all the details of how I got there. BIW represents the tree, the hope of the children. The monsters are previous fromville residents turned to monsters and they are from generations of original villagers (they sacrificed all their children through generations). The first TRUE villager we have met is the MIY.

Thanks for the videos! ❤ Your theories are pretty decent but mostly I like the way you present them.

It's really stupid, but it's driving me nuts 😂

Children keep that dream world alive by pouring there hope into the roots that make that symbol. The tree symbol has 3 main roots crossing over one another. So there’s three bottle trees that you can take that take you to other dimensions in fromville. Since each root crosses you gotta figure out the right route to get where you need to get.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

I thought a similar thing at first when the roots were shown, but that’s not the canon unfortunately. There’s more than 3 faraway trees, as noted by Victor and his drawings. The roots created only the original faraway tree, but the roots extended to create more faraway trees and also connect to the buildings in town in small details I was going to save for a video but I’ll let you know now. The bottles trees were created by someone else who put the bottles on one of the faraway trees, but there’s also bottle trees that aren’t far away trees. The roots basically connect to every place we have seen someone get sent from going through, but it is not able to be controlled as far as we know and it snot based on the three roots

[@Jem2Jerica]

With a lot of horror tropes, you have to volunteer, willingly let the evil in....in FromVille, whatever is happening, every cycle, the town and monsters need something to bring them to the modern era. I guess a boy. Victor and his imagination was a catalyst child, updating the monsters somehow. Now a new boy and people are there so the monsters can upgrade again. I think that's part of it.

Great video!! What I’d love to know is whether Father Khatri, Abby and the bartender guy were ghosts or are they hallucinations. Do you think they are some kind of residual energy of the dead, hallucinations of Boyd and Jade, are they part of Fromville(not benevolent)? We don’t see every dead character come back as ghosts(e.g. Tian Chen, Sarah’s brother Nathan, etc). Another thing is that they wrote the cicadas into the story after Nathan died and Sarah said he was afraid of cicadas, and that seems to have been dropped as well.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

I believe they are something using their images to interact for sure. Abby definitely makes you think it’s really them. But I think it may be someone like the boy in white interacting with those people that way as the people haunted by these ghosts also haven’t seen him.

I feel like shows that have a clear picture of where they're going but can also be flexible enough to change things as needed (as long as it's done well) tend to be better than shows that either don't have a vision of where they're going or shows that stick too rigidly to their vision and don't give themselves room to grow. So I don't have a problem in theory with the showrunners changing things as they go as long as they do it right and in fact think this can be a strength. But yeah they have to do it without introducing plot holes, and the From showrunners have arguably erred a bit with respect to this.

[@sidvicious6505]

Not convinced you are correct on your date for the sacrifice... a couple of things to consider, The clothing of the kids is more 18th or 19th century than 16th. Second, the tree in the road , they have repeatedly Referenced this as being the entrance or crossing over point. So must have been in existence at the time of the sacrifice. Even if a dirt road or what not, the native Americans didn't really utilize the wheel to a great deal. So again 19th or 18th century at earliest. While the first and second seasons did seem to imply native Americans had inhabited the "pocket dimension" as well. This isn't impossible with the later dating but starts to get less likely the later the dating becomes. However there are other explanations. Lastly the light house was in the cave drawings and other implications that like to road is a crossing point and exists or existed in both "dimensions".. Lastly, the civil war soldiers were visions shared by at least 3 characters. 2 of which are now established to be reincarnations, so could be just other past lives but are likely the the past life. With everything else the date or the sacrifice would be somewhere around 1870. Your date my also be significant in other ways like the Native American implications . The entity or whatever has likely existed for a long time and past people's veey likely were Aware of it and its power and even been in trapped or contact with it at different times.

I feel that they can explain away the retcon of the pregnancy by showing how the town creates new monsters using the kimono woman as some kind of midwife for the being that controls the town. I also think smileys death was not at all expected by the monsters themselves which is why they appeared surprised and gathered around his body for so long. The kimono woman serving as a higher up in the pecking order of chaos proving to them that they truly are immortal restoring their faith in the being that gave them “immortality”, by having Fatimas pregnancy, probably being an already “monster” pregnancy turn, into a resurrection instead of adding a new monster to the population of the town. As if the constant changes to the town are actually affecting the beings control over it. With the traps being set in place to dissuade the towns folk from going any further, having been triggered more then they ever were previously, causing the man in yellow to appear once the music is played.

I really enjoy your videos. Are the best I have find for this series on KZbin. bat you need to learn the definitions of terms like plot hole, plot twist, etc.... To quote Inigo Montoya "You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means." About Fatimas pregnancy We have see from the start that this place have healing properties. From The leg of Ethan at the start. To the face of Randall. All the wounds are healed really fast. They get terribly injures end the next day they walk like nothing is happen! Even Characters in the show have make commends about this. And in the most extreme case the worms temporary heal boyds Parkinson. Is not a huge leap of logic to assume that Fatima regen the ability to get pregnant by just by in this place. Especially if it was a result of injury that is what the show hint. We know at the start her pregnancy it was normal things get weird only after smiley death. So it is logical to assume smiley use the baby to reborn a she did not get pregnant with him from the start. Ok... the show have not tell you what exactly happen and you need to put the clues together... This is not a plot hole! Even if you think out side of the show Fatima pregnancy it was obvious before smiley death. So the explanation of the pregnancy have no connection with that.

[@devifoxe]

And if like you say they change this to use it for smileys rebirth. This is one more proof tha the reason of the pregnancy is something else. Because even smiley did not use her like e vessel. You still need a reason for the pregnancy.

[@Caleb-u5q8m]

I went back and watched the interview and they cleansed they know the beginning to end. They did say the run with new ideas but you are twisting their words.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

They don’t know the entire show begging to end. They know the mythology and how they want the show to end. But reading between the lines you would know they actually don’t have a set plot in mind on how to get there and they are making it up as they go. And they have proven it is loos enough to change the biggest plot points and create plot holes.

[@fuzzymeep]

​@@TheFacelessGirlYTthat's why you think they rewrote the entirety of season 3 because fans wanted smiley back?

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

@ they don’t rewrite the whole thing, not everything is connected to her pregnancy. But they “regretted” killing smiley be cause he was a fan favorite, according to the writers, and they brought him back. It was basically one of the reasons they brought him back. But they used a ret con to do it that has created a plothole.

[@shedabelle8485]

There was a writer who did a live with The Movie Blog who told everyone that he spoke to the From writers and was told the story was fully written. He was the one who started the rumor

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

I think a lot of people are taking what the writers have been saying, even in the interview, and shrinking it down to “the story is fully written” when the rest of the interview is them confirming that’s not the case lmao and I assume they said something similar to that person and they did the same thing. Because everyone WANTS this to be a story that’s fully written because we all know, if it’s not, it is too complicated to end well otherwise.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

😂😂😂

[@G6KGaijin]

in regards to the plot hole of her being pregnant before the death, they could get rid of the plot hole by making it as if the place is such that your actual baby is "consumed" by the monster if you are pregnant and thus being pregnant by a monster then if one died.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Again I’m not interested in mental gymnastics to fix their plot. They need to fix it canonically.

[@G6KGaijin]

It's still hard to believe that all this blood and suffering is merely to save a few ghost children. Can't they just accept their fate and move on to the after life?

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

They are actually stuck which is why it’s about them lol because they got sacrificed to the entity. The entity owns their souls. They are stuck here like everyone else. But the answer getting out it most likely to free them because then you basically shut off the power system. And that gets everyone home.

Have you heard the theory that the monsters are dressed as characters from the cars game "old maid"? I heard it from Gaze4You I feel like if Ethan or Julie were the ones who told the story to the children, the boy and white would remember them. I think it was the original version of Tabitha and Jade who told them the story.

How many times does one have to watch an episode to see all of these details...I missed them all after my first viewing ..🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@kyra5830]

I agree with a lot your theories they’re the most grounded and honestly makes the most sense. I also watched the interview it was a great introspective on how the writers of this show think and come of with ideas they did say they have main plot points that they want to happen in the story it’s just them trying to figure out when to put it in. And also I think they did mention they knew what they wanted the ending to look like but it also sounded like it wasn’t set it stone since it is a show. It is kinda of hard to incorporate preplanned stories lines when you have to make directional changes when shooting. But out of most shows they do seem like they know how they want their story to go.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Compared to most shows, they change a lot more as they go for no real reason other than desire to add in extra plot points for momentum and shock value. Making changes necessary due to direction on a story that actually is completely written in detail and fleshed out properly is completely different. Like I said in the video it’s easy to miss, but the writers said they have the mythology written in stone, not the plot. The ending is how the mythology will play out, but they are changing things that directly affect plot and mythology as they go. Which is creating plot holes. That’s a way to do things how they are doing them and is fine if it all gets answered but it’s not the show half the viewers thought they bought onto, nor is that the definition of a show that knows where the plot is going in DETAIL and has everything answered. The disingenuous part is to see the audiences reaction to plots you retconned and changed as you develop the rest of the show, and get mad at us for catching what you just admitted you actually did, and say we have the story completely planned, when you don’t. And for creators who value working with the company over integrity to not analyze this and ask the right questions, and act like one side of the Fromily who all caught this plot hole, is the one who is wrong. And that’s what I’m pointing out.

[@kyra5830]

@ oh yea I agree I I feel like most mysterious shows I have watched throughout the years always started off really strong but fell in the later seasons but I guess I still have hope because the plot holes in this show haven’t felt to egregious to the point where nothing makes sense like I feel like if the writer are still passionate and driven they can fix it but I also understand why these type of shows have plot holes and changes and different directions as long as the money is coming in the budget gets bigger and the seasons get longer. It’s like an inevitable but I just hope this show does not disappoint their viewers. Edit plus teenage me still traumatized off of PLL (pretty little liars) that was plot hole city abc family still owe me back my time 💀

[@tolgaciftci2373]

why don't anybody think that this is a vampire story, the monsters are simply vampires that can't walk on day light. talismans are the cross, fatima's baby were in hunger for blood

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

It is a vampire story I just need to make an updated what the monsters are video

[@rukyxzander]

That's because we've seen only one monster killed in the show and one rebirth

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

I’m saying for the symbol to be of that process happening after the initial sacrifice, basically insinuating the transition for all of them looked like that, which would be why that symbol is on the wall, it means they all had to go through that process to become the monsters the first time

[@rukyxzander]

@TheFacelessGirlYT oh now I get u now, that's another angle or rather it might even still be the main entity these writers fucking with us real bad lol

[@pamjam2567]

There only seems to be a handful of mosters, if they were born in the dark and no one tended to them they would never get this big they would die of failure to thrive

[@nimaamini9038]

If everything started in 1506 and these houses and buildings were built by the children, how are they so modern? Look at them-and the diner. They seem to be from the 1950s to the early 2000s (though I’m not an expert in American culture). The children never left the caves, and even if they had, they would have only seen 1500s-style buildings. Were motels or diners even a thing back then? And if the buildings are being changed constantly, why don’t they seem like the real-world architecture of now?

[@scorpionkng]

could be since they are immortal there's nothing set to how the monsters become monsters. Maybe the entity gave them powers to become immortal but they can come back through any form as long as they are in the town. It's just the sick game they played because Fatima couldn't get pregnant and wanted to break her even more. Maybe smiley only died because Boyd wasn't afraid and the conditions of the monsters immortality is they can stay alive as long as they can feed off fear. It seemed weird to me that Smiley would even let Boyd get that close though, normally the monsters would attack the minute you let your guard down but why was Boyd able to get so close? Is it the monsters can't feed off of you or hurt you if your not afraid. Could be why they walk and don't run.

[@88BlackNinjaz]

good job

[@jaebeablessings1005]

1506 theory??? The town itself is dated from 1950's - 60's ish. The houses, furniture decor. The telephone on the wall, diner with juttbox on tables. I wonder where the electricity and indoor plumming come from. 😊❤

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

The town actually isn’t dated to the 50s. It’s the 1900’s in general which is why they make it a point to make victors house and cars in the real world look identical. But colony house dates to the 1800’s . The Quaker church is 1700’s. The village is the 1600’s, and the caves are the 1500’s. Which is where 1506 and the cycles comes from. You have to be able to see things in more than one way

@9:46 to be fair you may not know of other content creators in regards to fromville rift within its dimension many of us and other content creators since season 1 came to the assumption this world of fromville is premordial and possibly predates human existence and recorded time, giving the information the show has provided and recorded lore history, you probably just haven't had time to see other contetn creators pass 3 plus years

[@donnieharrisonn]

I have a Jade theory. Past Jade either sacrificed his kids or didn't do enough to stop them from being sacrificed, and that's why the children have been appearing to him more than anyone else (yes, Tabitha sees them too but not as much or in the same meaningful ways, like that circle beneath the tree). When he sees the ghost offering him the goblet of blood, I think that's a past version of himself that 'drank the kool aid' so to speak. The children focus on him cause he needs to redeem himself. Also, have I missed any theories on the dog in the woods?

[@T.R.L.1]

Good Morning THE FACELESS GIRL, I watched the writers interview with EMAN as well and you are incorrect with the statement that the writers are just writing as they go, they said (and watch it again) that they know how the show/story ends, that's already written however they did say they do Suttle changes and come up with new ideas in the middle of writing or filming episodes. Again they already have a ending to the FROM story already. They also said jokingly that "Boyd" is the official grandfather of Smiley now!!! I believe from counting the number of stick people on the wall that the number is 12, which is consistent with the amount of talismans that they have for protection. I agree with you about the boy in white, I believe he was sacrificed with the children as well and I believe that he is related to the man in Yellow. As far as the Huge Red Symbol, I don't believe that represents how the monsters like smiley were brought in to there immortality, I believe like you that the huge red symbol represents who the Kimono Lady & The Man In Yellow Work for!! The writers during Eman's interview debunked the theory that Ethan is the Man in Yellow as well!!! I also don't agree that Julie saves the boy in white because as Ethan told her in episode 10 session 3 "You Can't Change What Has Been Already Written", "You Can Only See What's Written"!!! I noticed that in all of these show's like yours no one has asked the question about Victor, I believe that Victor was spared by the man in Yellow because there's no way that Victor survived so long by himself. How did he eat? How long was he by himself before the next family or new people arrived in Fromville? I believe that since Victor is mentally challenged he was spared but cursed to live his live in Fromville because of his mental disability. Remember when Victor and his father were in the cave looking for the doll and the monster said to Victor "If You Keep Coming Down Here, We Are Going To Have To Keep You Here"!!! They've known about him I believe from jump, and they know he has been down in those caves a lot but yet they've never killed him!!!

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

I’m going to prove it in my video because again it was easy to miss. But the writers confirmed they are making it up as they go. Eman spoke over them and said the story was finished, but they corrected him and said they have the base mythology. Which is different. They later go on to talk about the things they have changed and made up along the way, which includes Fatima giving birth to smiley. You’re free to rewatch it to catch these things or wait for my video.

[@darcydalton7257]

That’s not entirely true they said they have the start and the finish it’s the road in-between, how they get there that they are changing along the way. I agree with you though this could have massive plot holes in the future

[@LynxStarAuto]

Fatima is Kimono Lady. Her actress even shares credits with Shuoxin Fu who plays the character. Why would they do that, unless it was because they are one and the same.

[@Person_Not_Known]

I believe that this pocket dimension is a place of competition between different otherworldly entities with a main game and side games. I think the entity is in a game with another entity wherein the evil entity wins if it can corrupt all of the souls of the parents. Meaning only two souls are left and it loses if the children are saved. I think this game has rules and there's a certain balance that is maintained. For example, the kimona lady is not there to be specifically a new monster or enemy to the town residents, but is there to make sure the contract of immortality that was promised to the monsters is enforced. She could very easily killed Fatima but did not. I also think that there are different contracts and different relationships in the game. There is a price for taking direct action. This is why the boy in white doesn't like to give too much information because the evil entity will get a corresponding advantage to react. I also think that the monsters not running is a way for the evil entity to gain other advantages by putting handicap on itself. I think the music box is a device of a side entity that is trying to get in on the game which is why The monsters don't interfere with it. What if fromaville is basically the only place where these other worldly entities can watch and interact with their reality television and the townsfolk are their stars. What if the the talismans are and advantage that was created but the location was never shared because of the price the good entity would have to pay?

[@joachim--johansen]

Watched episode 1 again yesterday. Why have nobody talked about how Ethan had a heavy seizure while being aided by the doctor in the RV? I dont know how common this is but maybe some evil/good soul or magic effect entered him right there?

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

I’ve talked about it vaguely in previous videos. Everyone has a reaction to from when they get here. Ethan, Sara, and Wlfin have had seizures as they are also all closely connected to what’s happening here and more sensitive. Fatima also confirms in season 1 that everyone has visions and dreams when they get here, they just don’t know what it means.

[@acecpc4lifeify]

Best videos

[@acecpc4lifeify]

Also another question I agree is the boy in way to kid that escaped

[@wealthNwisdom63]

Maybe the writers are taking everyone’s comments and letting us decide how the story plays out

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Which is not a great idea based on some of these theories

[@fuzzymeep]

Such negativity

[@MALLYGEEZ1]

We don't know if any of the other monsters were ever un alived. So they probably didn't need any other pregnant women. Also, the entity probably chooses any way it wants to bring on of them back.

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

What I was saying is that if the same process is on the wall after the sacrifice, that means visually that’s what the original transformation looked like. The wall is only depicting the original story. It’s not depicting Smileys rebirth.

[@MALLYGEEZ1]

The show feels very made up as we go along, and I'm not convinced it will end well.

[@reecewhite5900]

My biggest question is now that they know about the ritual will there be anyone who tries to recreate it… Bye Bye Ethan 😅 I’ve always believed that the boy in white was the 8th child supposed to be sacrificed… part of me still thinks the voices wanted Season one Sara to kill the boy in white and not the boy as in Ethan, those were definitely worms in her arm when she got the message. I’ve been thinking maybe Fromville is a magic prison for the big bad entity… one that over time the entity learned to control to a point it still couldn’t leave Fromville but could move Fromville itself. and the entity wanted 8 sacrifices so that it could be freed from Fromville. The cycles might just be a way to entertain itself since the ritual was a failure. There’s also the drawing of fromville in a snow globe that makes me think everything I just said is wrong. And fromville is being controlled by a force on the outside 😂 this show drives me crazy 😵‍💫

[@TheFacelessGirlYT]

Yea that’s why he’s a great cop out to add to a show lmao but until they show us it in canon it exists as a plot hole

[@VanishMode2x]

@ I don't think you know what a plot hole is. You use the term too loosely. For everything lol. A plot hole is usually understood to be something in the story that cannot be made to make sense based on what we know. And based on what we know it can be made to make sense. This isn't the type of show to just throw the term "plot hole" around as much as you do because for one it's a supernatural/science fiction show which in itself never really has to play by any set of rules. For two, the entire story isn't revealed for anyone to say what is or isn't a plot hole. We'd have to know the actual rules to make that assertion. Fatima being pregnant before smiley died can be time travel or even something we've seen more frequently: foreknowledge. The same way Sarah was told by an entity that Boyd and his family was coming before they arrived in town, the same way "Thomas" told Ethan his that Tabitha was arriving in an ambulance soon, is the same way that the entities would have known that Smiley was going to die and was going to be in need of being ressurected soon. The key is to not have tunnel vision with our own theories.

[@elainaedwards6166]

The kids couldn’t have built the town because they were sacrificed in 1509 so they would have no idea what a motel is to be able to wish it up. I agree it’s like a town invented by a child, but they would have no idea what electricity is or houses or a diner.
