@ThirstyReader: It's also possible that this is a pre-Backwards House flashback.

GrabbingIntricateOwl945

GrabbingIntricateOwl945 3 weeks ago (edited 3 weeks ago)

Well, nothing much to say about this chapter (except that it took - again - three weeks instead of two).

So it was indeed true that Od-Dog and Catie knew each other from before, which also explains why his memory returned for a short moment when they danced together.  And his name might be Ollie, too, as someone suggested.

And I was right (in some way) that the 'Doorman' is indeed a 'door' of some sort, but as it seems to memory.

It should also be noted that when Catie gets 'bitten', we get the same effect as we got when Monkey ended his game.. but there is too little info yet to speculate.

And as (I guess was established), Catie is left-handed, while Elephant and Od-Dog are right handed... and for that, escpecially Catie switches her 'knife hand' quite often, even when they were not under attack yet...

ThirstyReader

ThirstyReader 3 weeks ago

I’m starting to realize that their outfit in da real world will shape into who they are in the backwards house. for example, catie’s beanie being like a cat and black and the yellow fishbone. So catie’s main color is black, related to a cat, and her accessorie is a yellow bow

ArcyWebP

ArcyWebP 3 weeks ago

I had a therory before that someone wouldve died, but I was thinking the elephant. yknow catie is the main character, they wouldnt kill them off, and od-dog just got an eye shine for a short amount of time in chapter 9, so i really dont think they would kill him off. so the elephant seemed like the next logical choice, but uhh nope 🥹

ngl but why does Catie's human appearance remind me of a kingdom hearts character?

MeirFenix

MeirFenix 3 weeks ago

@Vito-Di-Wolf: I think that although Catie did die, that she may come back in some way and that dying may somehow relate to her escape ( there is no way I think Skynix would end the comic with having killed Catie, but he is trying to leave suspense and tension among the audience)

GrabbingIntricateOwl945

GrabbingIntricateOwl945 3 weeks ago

@ThirstyReader:
What do you mean?  In the previous chapter, at one point Od-Dog tells Catie that she is a pretty good liar (after she told Mother she wants to fix Od-Dog 2.0).  Catie then sees a short piece of memory, and I originally thought it was showing her Real Life self, suggesting she lied at some point.  But seeing her Real Life self now, the clothing from that memory does not fit.  But it fits the clothes of her partner.

Also, Skynix might want to fix a few things... they forgot the caros on the back of Od-Dog's sweater, and when we first see Catie's real self, the yellow fish is mirrored.  But oh well...

MeirFenix

MeirFenix 3 weeks ago

@MeirFenix: Also, Od-dog breaking their leg in real life likely connects to the previous chapter with the Disco Performance that Od-dog and Catie did together, and I think that when Od-dog told Katie not to drop him, he had already remembered and realized who Katie was.
(which I know may be just going over what we've previously discussed in the comment section, but I'm trying to think of other connections to the plot)

MeirFenix

@ThirstyReader: I just realized for the next comic, we're probably going to see Catie and Od-dog human version talk together more or immediately get thrown back to the horror of The Backwards House.

MeirFenix

MeirFenix 3 weeks ago

@ArcyWebP: I was honestly thinking that Catie was simply going to go down the Doormans mouth instead, since the monster is literally called the doorman, and their mouth essentially looks like a hidden doorway, but that crunch hit HARD!

When catie said,”I should have catched you” it probally refers to a dance competition that both catie and oddog competed in together in real life. That’s probally why he has a broken leg

GrabbingIntricateOwl945

GrabbingIntricateOwl945 3 weeks ago (edited 3 weeks ago)

Definitely NOT the end.  This most obvious is just a 'flashback' from the past.  Also, Od-Dog's leg is not broken, just injured a bit, otherwise he would not be able to walk on it, and it must be something that happened 'recently', otherwise Catie wouldn't still be so glum about it.

Also, most likely Od-Dog once was caught by the Doorman just like Catie was now.  The Doorman seems to open his mouth only when he caught you, and Od-Dog clearly drew him with his mouth open in the sketchbook.  Dunno if that means anything except that his 'bite' is probably not deadly / not meant to kill.  That's why Catie's tail isn't stretched taut at that moment, indicating a "Waugh!!" ;)

... why do all the nightmares always seem to smile (if they have faces) except when they face Mother?

@MaioCendes16: There is still a whole lot more in the series. These types of cliffhangers are for suspense. After what was very likely Catie's death, she will probably come back some way. This was just a flashback, which reveals human Catie and Od were in a dance competition before getting trapped in The Backwards House.

Catie

Catie 3 weeks ago

Also makes sense how od-dog remembered who he was after dancing together with catie as it reminded him of what they used to do in the real world together :3

ThirstyReader

ThirstyReader 3 weeks ago

@Catie: so when catie said,”I should have caught you” that probally shows why oddog leg is broken. so catie didn’t catch him in a dance competition

ComicCal

ComicCal 3 weeks ago

@ThirstyReader: Yap Alert: For clarification, that last part was a flashback that takes place in the past. Seems like Catie and Od were in a dance competition in the real world, just like in the House. When Catie fails to catch Od, they receive second place (and Od receives a broken leg).
This also explains how their dance in the House triggered Od's memory (suggested by the shine in his eyes). Poor guy literally got flashbacks of last time. Too bad he didn't stay like that for long.
Now, we don't know if that flashback was actually something Catie remembered as she was being crunched alive, or just for us.
We know that the nightmare from Od's sketchbook is the same one in the basement (his name is the title of this chapter). How did Od see it from that angle?
One final theory: his real name might start with "Od," which is why it's spelled like that. A lot of people think it's Oliver, but we'll see.

Go to Chapter 9 page 17, and Od calls HER a liar, triggering a brief flashback of his human form. We also know that the nightmare from Od's sketchbook is the same one we just saw (his name is the title of this chapter). How did Od see it from that angle... was he also grabbed by the Doorman at one point?

GrabbingIntricateOwl945

GrabbingIntricateOwl945 3 weeks ago

As I noted before, there is a good chance that this 'Doorman' represents a door himself, so Catie did most likely not die.

Also, seeing that Od-Dog drew the Doorman with his mouth open, and he obviously seems to open it only when he caught someone. Od-Dog most likely went though the same ordeal.

This also raises the thought when Od-Dog said he was 'too late' it could also have meant something else, maybe 'too late to say sorry to Catie' , but not meaning 'his body died'...

GrabbingIntricateOwl945

GrabbingIntricateOwl945 3 weeks ago

@John-Doe-M8y:
IMO unlikely, since when the doorbell rang to announce Catie, Shy Shark said that "this hasn't happened for quite a while"... then again, how long has Od-Dog been there?  Weeks?  Months?

GrabbingIntricateOwl945

GrabbingIntricateOwl945 3 weeks ago

@Carrion-Crowz:
Ii doubt he put on the classes to hide anything, it was just part of his outfit.... and a nice 'plot device' to catch the reader by surprise when he takes the glasses off.  Plot-wise, most likely he regained his memory the moment the dance ended, when Catie caught him.  And lost it againi when Catie dropped him.

They should have gotten themselves some railguns... if Monkey can pull out a whole game setting + studio lights, and Catie / Od pulling dance clothing from nowhere, that too should have been possible.

this is peak and I am going to say what I think might happen next now so what I think is this is probably not gonna happen but what if Catie wakes up like in her bed after that happens like they can’t die somehow like every possibility of escaping you can think of besides whatever Od-Dog almost did is impossible and maybe Od-Dog injured his leg in some dance thing since Catie is good at dancing and they might have done a dance competition together? I don’t know this is pretty dumb

NobodyIsHere

NobodyIsHere 3 weeks ago

Hmm, lemme guess. the other character at the end is od-Dog

GrabbingIntricateOwl945

GrabbingIntricateOwl945 3 weeks ago (edited 3 weeks ago)

I guess what happens now is what happened to Od-Dog 'back then'.  It's doubtful he had a chance against the Doorman, and he saw him with the mouth open, so he fought, lost (thus the bleeding and blue eye), got grabbed, eaten, and the Doorman's mouth lead to Mother's room.  He found the key, and returned with it.

All other explanations seem too 'complex' at this point.  Maybe the Doorman opens the (mouth-)door only for those with a burning desire or strong will/intention to get to Mother's room?

@GrabbingIntricateOwl945: I bet time is different there, or Od-Dog got trapped way before Catie. She was exploring the abandoned house by herself.

I pointed that out HOW many chapters in the past?  But let's see.

There is also no data about the other nightmares, except what Od-Dog drew.

I think that "the Doorman" is LITERALLY the thing around Mother's room, and the mouth is the door. That's why Od-Dog had the drawing of him in the same position. (Like the Cursed Realm/Preeminent from Ninjago.)

I’m not sure if someone already commented this, but I feel like the reason od-dog was conscious was he remember the dance they did. if that is od-dog then that means they’ve done it once before, so that’s why he remembered. so maybe you only need a memory of something that happened before to remember, not just your name.

I wonder what that white line coming from Catie's eyes means (it appears in episode 3, before dodging the nightmare, and before   the Doorman's first attack this chapter). It's kinda like when Sans' magic eye would light up when danger was nearby in some fan interpretations.

Beware of the Doorman, for you are crunchy and go well with ketchup.

Personally, I think the last flashback was for the readers, not for Catie.  Also, the Od-Dog with regained memory felt different from his Real World self... he acted cold and distant, while the Real World self seemed kind, understanding & comforting.  Maybe something else happened before their trip to the cartoon world?

Also... a yellow bow feels odd  (?) for a disco person.  Was this a special gift with some deeper meaning?

I wonder if the Doorman IS Mother's room, and his mouth is the door. Od-Dog does have a drawing of him with his mouth open, so maybe he had a similar experience.

TheBackwardsHouseFan123

TheBackwardsHouseFan123 2 weeks ago

its a key to the real world, for others (because they trapped and are puppets for mother) catie figured out what the TV was, a portal. and by opening the door, they release the others, since those would never die themselves. If you have any comments to this theory, plz tell me, ~Im trying to figure out the lore

TheBackwardsHouseFan123

TheBackwardsHouseFan123 2 weeks ago

And od-dog knows, since he already died himself in game (as we know) I would guess emp elephant knows, because  he was the one to figure this out (or because he died before, which could be some info we get in the later comics

TheBackwardsHouseFan123

TheBackwardsHouseFan123 2 weeks ago

HOLY- I just realised that od dog didnt die... OHHHHHHHH- If you actually survive that, then probably when he entered the room, that was his time to get to the real world, and when he came back he probably did lose that memory, but as soon as catie ddied... why did only od dog go back to the mortal realm/// This is so confusing.. PLZ I NEED YLLS THEORIES

CarlAnimator1

@TheBackwardsHouseFan123: I think the Doorman is LITERALLY Mother's Room, and his mouth is the door, which is why it is so tall, and why Od-Dog has a drawing of it open.

MeLise-750

MeLise-750 2 weeks ago

I'm pretty confident in the idea that the bit at the end is a flashback. For one, they're clearly speaking about some sort of competition they were a team in. Thinking back to last episode, Curious Cat and Od-Dog did that dance together, and during it, his eyes lit up even though his eyes have been unlit the entire series. I think there's a good possibility that this scene actually takes place in the past. Meaning Od-Dog and Curious Cat (or Catie) knew eachother before, likely did some sort of dance competition together where Catie failed at the last catch, unlike in the present when she succeeded. Anyway, super excited for the next chapter! Can't wait to see what happens next, especially considering Curious Cat just got chomped 💀
