You know how i'd love this series to end? Imagine the final video uploaded to the channel is the elusive old footage of Chris and Andrew playing together that was mentioned a bit earlier in the series. It would be an epilogue or something.
@@geekzombie8795just imagine that, them working on the secret tunnel, or that throne that chris made, or those cool mini secrets that were planned for andrew, made by chris. so cool to think about
the presence of blue flowers indicates a lot to me. obviously there ARE blue flowers in real life, but due to the obviously supernatural elements of these events, i believe they are particularly meant to symbolise a blue rose, which is impossible in nature. in the twin peaks franchise by david lynch, the blue rose is meant to represent something impossible, and their presence indicates something that isnt real, a construct, a simulacrum.
The blue rose(Or to be more specific, the cyan rose) used to be in very early editions of MCPE and MCPE Lite, it was one of the only things back in the day that the Pocket Edition had and Java didn't, however they got removed.
I’m late but something about this series is just so unique with its execution is incredible. I love how this feels both like a let’s play but also documented footage of something odd happening. I especially love Andrews’s character. He’s both rightfully freak out but is kinda realistic in knowing that despite what he’s dealing is something that taking a toll on him. He clearly knows it’s just a game and that ideal is keeping him sane and think straight. I also love his cinematic this is aswell, the usage of Music and sfx is such an incredible detail. The scenes that take place almost feels like a Ovid too which isn’t a bad thing that takes me out of the experience. Can’t wait to see tgis through till the end.
Curiosity killed the cat, But satisfaction brought it back. So tell me, Andrew. How curious are you? Edit: Curious, he was. He paid the price. But will he choose to join, To be with his friend? Or will he choose, To make this game end?
Blue Roses are often symbolized as a vast love, a willingness to go beyond the boundaries of natural law to express your feelings to someone Blue roses are not meant to exist. They're made genetically, impossible to replicate in nature. So while they are a symbol of love, they're also the symbol of impossibility, unnatural occurrences, and the unreachable infinite. I think the black figure with the creepy smile is The First, the unkind one, trying to lure Andrew to a fate similar to Chris' Chris is the Second, the faceless figure. He's the one placing the signs down in an effort to draw Andrew away and warn him of what happened to himself. A supernatural occurrence, one that is not supposed to happen in nature. All to save his friend from a fate he has already suffered. Chris is the Blue Rose - Defying all natural order to send one final warning. Andrew will be the Third.
This series is such a comfort for me, I hope the arg lasts for a while. And if it wouldnt be too much to ask, i would love to just watch Andrew (the actual person) play minecraft, theyre so nice to listen to and watch
I genuinely love this series so much and its inspired me to start working on my own projects again I just really love how simple yet amazing this entire series is, and its genuinely one of my favorite hyperfixations rn 😭😭
Bro seeing Andrew just finally have enough of the cryptic, creepypasta shit and start dropping f-bombs like a Vivzipop script was honestly really cathartic after seeing everything the poor guy has been put through
dude that OBVIOUSLY isnt chris bro, at the end of the video he says there are 2, one is him with that deranged creepy smile and two is chris but he isnt there showing himself.
the music is literally so well composed bro.. also andrew. this might be chris's first house, when he was a kid. hes turned into something that he dreads.
I was thinking, the first world was the world of Chris, the second was the world of Andrew, maybe that world was the world of *the first guy* that they talk in the previous episode? (If you didn’t see at 4:02 we see the « Chris shadow » in the background. I think that *the first guy shadow* is the one with the smile and « Chris Shadow » is the one with no smile. Finally at 11:15 Andrew say that Chris didn’t put this flowers, so it could say that Chris put mosty cobblestone and *The first guy* put blue flower. (It just a theory)
I looked into old minecraft versions for this. Pocket Edition had roses until 0.9.0, when all blue roses were automatically converted to poppies. Signs were added in 0.6.0 in a writable state. With buckets being added in 0.7.0, this narrows it to 2, since otherwise any well would need to be built on water, or had water cheated in. But then we reach the greenhouse. It screams out something is wrong. Vines were added in 0.9.0, when roses were switched from their blue state to being poppies. Flower pots weren't added until 0.12.1. It's a scene that could never have existed, at any point. And yet, it stands, *seemingly* unremarkable. Right until you step inside.
I would chalk it up to the fact Andrew is useing a texture pack to make the blocks look old, but in an earlier episode he picked up one of the blue roses and it was called "Blue Rose", so I guess it's a mystery
ima be putting my time stamped thoughts/theories here because I have a lot of thoughts (Takeaway/summary theory at the end) || 2:08 this well doesn't have any water in it... thats weird 3:28 the closer you get the further you stray... THATS WHAT IT MEANS! 5:20 maybe they are making... wait for it... WELLS and none of them are good enough? 6:40 yeah I'm pretty sure whoever this is was trying to make THE wells. The ones that transport Andrew. 6:55 Blue roses symbolize secrecy... 7:34 gettin' a little... gettin' a little pissed there, Andrew. You-- you ok? I mean it's fair to be pissed but still. 10:09 You have a document of screenshots? 11:11 THERES THE BLUE ROSES AGAIN! Remember blue rose = secret 11:19 I don't think it's Chris because he doesn't use contractions in writing and the signs had contractions like "Couldn't" in them. 11:44 I FUCKING JUMPED OH GOD WHAT IS THAT 11:52 I HEAR IT MOVING FUCKING RUN RUN RUN 11:58 YOUR DAMN RIGHT IT LOOKED FAMILIAR ITS THE SHADOW THING + ONE CREEPY-ASS FACE 12:04 WHAT IS HAPPENING WHATS WITH THE MUSIC 12:40 YES F-BOMBS FINALLY 14:38 OH HELL NAW GET AWAY 14:57 stop... STOP WALKING CLOSER OH GOD 15:03 wait... Is Andrew in... is he in iron bars? 15:07 YES I KNEW IT YES IT IS CHRIS (well not that one but the faceless one is.) 15:20 no, not really. 15:38 NO NO DON'T DO THAT THIS IS SOME CULT BULLSHIT ISN'T IT || ok well thats it I guess. Um-- final takeaway/theory is that the face guy is the owner of that world Andrew was in and he tried to make the wells and... went insane doing so? Something about the wells made him and Chris make them as much as they did. And Andrew is next. Next to be addicted, next to be insane. And the face guy wants it. But Chris-- Chris is trying everything in his power to stop it. To stop Andrew from becoming like him.
the cinematic shot of the dark figure behind the iron bar was really fucking cool dude. also, i just noticed... the figure was walking while typing. i think this means whoever was typing and whoever was circling andrew isn't the same person...
The sign in the XBOX tutorial world warned you about the first one. The skin of that person may also be an indication. That world with the blue flowers also might be the that person's world since those flowers arent usualy used by chris. That person must have changed alot. Staying away from those wells is better for you. But, the lie is by nature is bound to perish. Keep yourself updated. Keep cautious and keep moving.
So, what's the lore significance of Andrew always placing the broken fence at the left corner of the well? If he were OCD like me he would put it back where it came from... XD Update: And I love how at 2:53 he places them down as a barrier between him and the thing
ok, im gonna somewhat annotate the ARG in this comment, lets hope that no groundbreaking information invalidates thi- anyway my take on this is that there are 2 of these creatures, i'll call them 'Watchers'. there are likely more but there are 2 that spectate Andrew, who is likely in danger from something or the Watchers, being Chris or supposedly Chris (the Watcher we see this video says that Chris is with him, claiming by 'your friend and i' and how they mention Chris) and this new Watcher, who we only have seen this video, supposedly the blue flowers obviously symbolise something, someone theorised secrecy, it is a reoccuring theme so it obviously has some sort of meaning to it - i believe that it symbolises something important, secrecy or danger, as we see that whenever we do see blue flowers it is when there is a Watcher nearby (smiling fellow from the window this video), at the wells sometimes and on trails, sometimes. Andrew is obviously not Andrew, or so his channel is not Andrew, as we see throughout the livechat of the premiere, Andrew's account is talking in chat- but they do not talk as if they were from Andrew's perspective at all. another hint of this is that he claims in the video that he is not recording for his viewers, but rather himself, in case he has to retrace the steps back. however, why would this premiere? obviously it's an ARG so we know that it pretty much is for the viewers, but otherwise, Andrew would not premiere this. he has no need to. so, i personally believe that whichever of the Watchers on his account uploaded said file before he could or they reuploaded it as a premiere for the viewers as even though Andrew could keep all his videos private, no matter what he does the Watchers can obviously reupload the videos, as we've seen before they can access his files, for that one instance a Watcher put a video titled 'HELLO' into his files and he shows us it on one of the videos, and so if they can do that, they can likely access the video files of these videos we have seen 2 Watchers. Chris, or so we believe it to be Chris, is likely the one that is just pure black, and another entity that Andrew does not know as a friend or otherwise, who has a smile on it's face - we have never seen this as a reoccuring Watcher. i also believe there is symbolism here, as this strange new Watcher has the ability to talk, something we have never seen before in the other Watcher who has only made ominous appearances. Andrew does not reply to the Watcher, and only watches him, as he talks in chat, which i believe may have something off about it, he could've been muted or maybe he just didn't want to engage in a conversation with this Watcher Chris (or so they say) as a Watcher has no face like the smiling Watcher, which i also believe that that symbolises that Chris cannot communicate through chat or any other means, being muted to Andrew. in Letheprotocol we see from a Watcher's POV, though now knowing there is actually two Watchers, it is likely it could be Chris, who cares more about Andrew, or the other smiling Watcher another thing i saw in the comments of the previous video, 'A familiar place' is that they theorised that Andrew is not Andrew as a whole, as Andrew seems to have a different sounding tone similar to when the series first started when he talks after coming out of wells what do you guys think? *anyway,* my opinion on this video was that it was hyped for and ykw? people hyping for it were totally right, this stuff gave me the CHILLS!!!!! this is the best ARG on minecraft right now, methinks Additional edits!!!! @sboy2044 - user says that we have seen the smiling watcher before though they can't remember which video, i'm still looking into it, but massive credits to them for this!!! @Sedric-and-Charlie - this user says that the flowers are referred to specifically as roses and historically blue roses were often used to symbolise something mysterious or unattainable since blue roses don't exist in nature!! huge credits to them too, they also say it could be coincidental though
the flowers are specifically referred to as "roses". Historically blue roses were often used to symbolise something mysterious or unattainable, since actual blue roses don't exist in nature. This could be entirely coincidental of course, I'm not sure how common knowledge that symbolism is today
"progress yet regression" - the well's shape looks much more like the brick wells we are used to but have gone from the previous stone prototypes to wood, which is backwards regression in minecraft. forward progression of materials generally goes from wood > stone > (brick? >) iron > diamond
This could be from the person before Chris (The builds had no mossy cobble and the world wasn't on peaceful. As well as some other things) [edit: Saw the ending and I'm like 90% sure it was not Chris' world.]
Gonna try to keep tally of whenever I notice that other character: In Well Dimension 2:00 Behind the Cow Sign 4:00 At the Greenhouse 11:45 Okay i guess the whole video by the end 😂
It is said you hear bells right before you die. So hearing the bells, suddenly being hungry(meaning hes no longer on a peaceful server), and being stalked by what i can only describe as a smiler from the backrooms and i suddenly feel like we're close to seeing andrew die in the game(or on mic because thats happened before on creepy game arg's)😅
pro if you take a print screen of the thing at 2:07 and enlarge it (even ms paint will work) you can see its the shadow entity from i believe the forth video on the channel. the one with the white smiling face. which means that the pure black figure and this smiling entity are different being/ which probably means that one is the "first" and another is the "second" considering the pure black figure's over all neutral appearances (meaning at no point does it appear to want to threaten Andrew) it is probably Chris. but every time the one with the smile appears it is shown in a much more threatening stance (the first time he appears he was literally right outside the window much closer than how far the black figure gets) im willing to bet it's the "first" I am inclined to believe that this world is actually one of "the first"'s worlds. the story doesn't line up with what we know of Chris and the timeline wouldn't work correctly. I believe that the smiling entity increased appearance frequency might be because it is no mad at Andrew for invading one if his worlds.
just wanna point out that the 2 types of figures (the full black and the smiley face one) have distinctly different writing styles on the signs, with every other sign in the series before this video the signs (all written by the full black figure) had proper grammer and had correct casing, however with the 2 signs infront of the chest at around 12 minute mark (presumably written by the smiley figure as that was seen just before andrew spotted the signs) the letters are in all uppercase edit: just noticed at the bottom of the desc it says "HOW CURIOUS ARE YOU, ANDREW?" so if im correct that was written by the smiley figure. also another thing i want to add, chris seems to be the full black figure and he said he was "the second" and also that "the first isnt as kind" or something along those lines i dint fully remember, perhaps the smiley figure is the first? idk i just wanted to try and make an input on this because i think its cool
heres my view on this, also taking some notes of these from other commenters. we have the two lets say ‘watchers’, the second and first. the lack of mossy cobblestone on all the builds point to it probably not being Chris’ older worlds, as in the older videos he says how Chris used mossy cobblestone in all of his builds. the second is probably Chris, and the first being the black figure in the beginning of the episode, or ‘smiler’ as ill call them. Ive seen a bunch of people saying that the blue flowers or cyan roses go towards Chris as a separate, though they could actually mean the ‘watchers’ as a whole. quoting someone elses comment here, “ Blue roses are not meant to exist. They’re made genetically, impossible to replicate in nature. “ other people are probably true on this about it being about Chris, yet it could include the first. Chris is not the only one interacting with the material world, as you see the first, or the ‘smiler’ multiple times throughout the video. Chris didn’t become a ‘watcher’ by chance or naturally, something happened with him that caused him to become a ‘watcher’, like a cyan rose would have. it had to happen to the first as well, if this theory was correct. the signs repeat them as counting up, ex ; the first, second, third, which basically means that the same thing has happened to each person in the same way. like ‘ The ‘smiler’ was the first turned ‘watcher’, Chris was the second. ‘ im also going to say, people can theorize! they wont always be correct, and thats fine! but their putting effort into their theory’s and hopefully having fun with it. don’t ruin someones fun.
I wish you could have some blocks to go to other towers ;-; but welp looks like you have a little friend coming but he would just not talk and you have another black figure stalking you as well :^ 🥲 this séries is soo good 😂😂😂 i wish i could play with you so i can just talk to them and say: budy if you want to say something ;-; jut talk dont run away 🥲
I love this series but nots not really a ARG like people keep calling it. It’s more of just a story. The closest thing we’ve had to a ARG element is needing to turn on subtitles. Just wanted to say that still love the work
andrew in one of the previous videos: idk why i had so many torches, but i'll take it! me: huh, that's a weird detail me watching this one: YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
