History WMG / Petscop

Technology in the Petscop universe is more or less the same in our universe, but their [[TechnologyLevels technology]] is just better, which [[HollywoodGameDesign allows for seemingly impossible things to happen on]] [[UsefulNotes/PlayStation a PS1 console]].

** Confirmed.

** Confirmed in Belle's case, as she's adopted.

** Might be slightly Jossed, as Roneth, according to his description in one episode, is Toneth's half brother, however, that might depend on how one interprets "half brother."

** Mostly Jossed. Petscop 20 features Rainer lambasting Marvin for being emotionally and psychologically abusive to Care by convincing her that she's an ugly monster who, therefore, is unworthy of love. This seems to be the crux of the whole thing... I will admit though, Martin thinking about his daughter in the tub is still, y'know.

* Maybe but part of that doesn't account for the female Care or Tiara/[[spoiler:Belle]].

** Might be slightly Jossed, as Roneth, according to his description in one episode, is Toneth's [[spoiler:half brother]], however, that might depend on how one interprets [[spoiler:"half brother."]]

** [[spoiler:Confirmed.]]

!!Tiara/[[spoiler:Belle]] is adopted

My evidence is that one of the themes of ''Petscop'' is [[spoiler:the abuse that some adoptive parents deal their children]] and the fact that her [[spoiler:her features (eyebrows, eyes, nose) aren't included in the Child Library on the grounds that she isn't family]], which would suggest that she was 1) adopted, 2) kidnapped, or, 3), both. Granted, we don't know precisely what that note meant by "family" but I presume that the note refers to biological family, not adopted.

One could say that, since he couldn't keep or get a hold of Care and the fact the Mike died, Marvin decided to seek out other children for his nefarious purposes, coming across Tiara/[[spoiler:Belle]]. Once he has her, he tries to recondition her, the which he fails at because she resists it (as implied by [[spoiler:Quitter's Room]] and the lines [[spoiler:"I am Tiara, not Bell(e)"]] or [[spoiler:"I am not Tiara"]], which suggests conflicting thoughts).
** Confirmed in [[spoiler: Belle's case, as she's adopted]].

[[WMG:Paul is not Care's twin, or Care reborn. Rather he's [[spoiler:Care's parallel from a dimension that's a mirror image of her own.]]]]

Paul repeatedly indicates he is not familiar with many commonly known things. He finds himself turning doorknobs the wrong way, and he fails to recognize the Christmas Tree on the calendar, for instance. In addition, Paul's first experience with the Quitter's Room has him on the reflected side, not the default side, and frequently throughout the series, the direction of how something rotates is often indicative of something. The windmill changes the direction of its rotation once Paul accesses it and uses the Tool within, and many of the things associated with him rotate in a counterclockwise manner. If you were facing a door and you turned the doorknob to open it, with a mirror to your left, then [[spoiler:your reflection would open the reflected door by turning the knob in the opposite direction.]]

Here goes: Petscop ''was'' a game in development, but was cancelled for reasons that we probably won't learn about. Rainer, a worker/founder of the company, had that "event" between him and Marvin during the game's development that started the bad blood between them; when the game was cancelled, Rainer modified the development build he had of Petscop to give to Marvin as a trojan horse, actually being full of [[spoiler:evidence for his crimes and Rainer saying that he knows what he's done. If we assume Marvin is the one playing during Petscop 20, Rainer is making him find the grave of a child he presumably abducted, and goes over in detail what he used the censored objects for in a berating manner, as well as accusing him of knowing exactly what that brick house was "used for"]].

[[WMG:Petscop is set in a slightly ZeeRust setting.]]

At the end of the game, Paul discovers a note in-game with their (supposed) real name: [[spoiler:Tiara Leskowitz, with the words ''MOMMY'' attached to it. The fact that this is a LastMinuteReveal, implies that she never told him the truth.]]

!!Tiara/[[spoiler:Belle]] is adopted]]

** Confirmed in [[spoiler: Belle's case, as she's adopted]].

[[WMG:Tiara/[[spoiler:Belle]] is adopted]]

** Confirmed in [[spoiler: Belle's case, as she's adopted]].

!!Tiara/[[spoiler:Belle]] is adopted

** Maybe but part of that doesn't account for the female Care or Tiara/[[spoiler:Belle]].

[[WMG: The game is a Nambla metaphor]]

[[WMG: Care is a victim of incest]]
Care is heavily connected to two things: flowers, and the phrase "nobody loves me". These two things form the backbone of this theory.

** Might be slightly Jossed, as Roneth, according to his description in one episode, is Toneth's [[spoiler: half brother]], however, that might depend on how one interprets [[spoiler: "half brother"]].

[[WMG: In order to change Care NLM into Care A, she has to be loved.]]
"To catch her, you had to lie, but it may not be a lie forever. [...] You can turn Care NLM into Care A." The lie was changing the treadmill to -1, possibly "adding" one petal to her flower and ending the "loves me, loves me not" mantra on "loves me". It might be a lie at the moment, but if Care does ends up being loved, she can be healed.

[[WMG: The thing behind the second censor]]

[[WMG: Garalina is forcing Paul to keep making videos.]]

[[WMG: The censored objects identify Paul]]

** [[spoiler: Confirmed.]]

My evidence is that one of the themes of ''Petscop'' is [[spoiler: the abuse that some adoptive parents deal their children]] and the fact that her [[spoiler: her features (eyebrows, eyes, nose) aren't included in the Child Library on the grounds that she isn't family]], which would suggest that she was 1) adopted, 2) kidnapped, or, 3), both.

[[WMG: Paul is an adult, transitioned Care.]]

[[WMG: Jill and the Family are trying to bury the crimes Marvin committed.]]

[[WMG: The unseen "friend" is Paul's mother, who either adopted him or escaped "The family" and was UnPerson'ed.]]

[[WMG: Care is a fictional female representation of Paul's childhood.]]

[[WMG: The whole story is a looping timeline that Marvin is trying to end.]]

The things Paul/Paul's family censors from the video are things that would otherwise produce a paradox. When the Windmill and the Friend disappeared, they went back in time. The only thing he knows is that eventually, the friend would be reborn as his daughter; all the stuff Marvin does to abuse Care and abduct children is an effort to find the reincarnation of the friend and either kill her, or render her unable to have children (for instance, emotionally abusing her to think no one will ever love her means she'll never seek a relationship to begin with) in order to prevent the chain of events that causes the Windmill Incident and sets it all in motion.

Due to the recurring ''Paul is trans'' theories that '''do''' point out various details that imply that Care was Paul (like apparently looking eerily similar and having their birthday the same day and year). However, due to the game's emphasis on child abuse and trauma with little to no allusions to gender identity or sexuality, I can believe that those trans allusions were unintentional by the series' creator and that indeed Care was Paul, but more in the way of a fictional character that represented Paul's forgotten abusive childhood.

Is stated by Rainer that Jill is Care's aunt. We can assume that Jill is Marvin's sister or cousin, and kidnapped Paul to prevent him from revealing the contents of the game to the authorities.

[[WMG: [[spoiler:Belle]] is Paul's mother, who either adopted him or escaped "The family".]]
At the end of the game, Paul discovers a note in-game with their (supposed) real name: [[spoiler:Tiara Leskowitz, with the words ''MOMMY'' attached to it. The fact that this is a LastMinuteReveal, implies that she never told him the truth. However, the fact that Marvin implies that he attempted to gaslight her into insanity may imply that she forgot her real identity and remembered after playing the game.]]

Paul is a trans man whose traumatic childhood memories are repressed (as is common). The game intended to bring those memories to light so he can testify against Marvin, his father, alongside the other abused children.

[[WMG: Paul is an adult, transitioned Care]]

* This is supported by the fact that when Marvin opens the controls section of the options menu, the default configuration has the right and left buttons make you go left and right, respectively.
