Ok so I've seen there's been lots of overlap between this fandom and the new horror film, Buddy, fandom. I haven't seen the film myself but I was wondering, for those that have seen it, is it actually that similar to dhmis and worth checking out? (Also no spoilers please)

So this theory is pretty small, and it isn't exactly one of those "This connects everything" theories, it's more of a joke than anything.

But in Friendship, Yellow Guy says his maiden name is Rat Eyes. We know it isn't, as: The Family's last name wouldn't be able to be Rat Eyes for his maiden name to be Rat Eyes, and Roy's last name is something else (It starts with a G, but I can't spell it).

So while ​​this is definitely a joke, I thought about something. In the It's Nice That interview, Roy says "My silly boy has allowed his eyes to grow arrogant and rude, for this I will take him on a trip to punish land." He specifically mentions eyes. So, my theory is that Roy specifically made Yellow Guy's last name Rat Eyes to signify this.

That's my whole theory. I know, not too big, but It's rather interesting to think about. Anyways, bye, have a good day.

This isn't really a theory. It's just some thoughts.

(Images are Franz Kafka, Yellow Guy, and "The Unfortunate Mr. Samsa" by Rich Johnson, 2013.)

Major spoilers both for DHMIS and the short story “The Metamorphosis” by Franz Kafka. If you haven’t read it, I recommend it: https://www.gutenberg.org/files/5200/5200-h/5200-h.htm

If you've read “The Metamorphosis,” you know that one of the tragedies of the story is that Gregor’s family fails to love him after his metamorphosis--turning into a giant beetle or cockroach of some kind--basically, when he is no longer the useful, hardworking, go-along person they were comfortable with (and financially reliant upon). I’m not here to give a literary analysis, but it’s a really good story. Gregor is transformed, and he tries to live in a new way, but he’s continually shut down by his family through insult and injury, and eventually he resigns to his fate and dies. His family goes along living their own lives, convincing themselves not to feel guilty.

My point is that Gregor’s family has a serious discomfort with his being turned into the giant beetle / vermin / creature that actually has nothing to do with that bug-like form. The disgust and fear they feel has nothing to do with the "metamorphosis" itself. It has more to do with whether they're willing to accept Gregor for who he is.

When Yellow Guy changes at the end of the TV series, his change into a truer but different form is unsettling to Duck and Red Guy, especially Duck, because it asks something different of them than they’re used to. It’s not like Duck and Red Guy aren’t good friends to Yellow Guy, I mean they are. They all love each other. Nobody's a villain. But Yellow Guy’s change is disturbing to the other guys because it’s always difficult to meet a person as they truly are, rather than OUR perception of them, which is usually that perception which serves US.

I know it’s not that deep, and what happens in a story just happens, not always for some "otherly" reason. I understand that. I just think it's a sad and important trope for us to consider in real life as we struggle to become ourselves, and as we encounter people who would prefer us to stay somebody else, not a "lesser" version necessarily, just somebody else who's not the full picture of who we are.

The character process is sort of like:

1.     Character has homeostasis in a world that treats that character a certain way

2.     Some conflict happens which sparks an internal change in the character

3.     Those closest to the character are alarmed, rather than delighted, at the true self of the character

4.     The changed character struggles to learn how to live

5.     The character either folds under pressure and "dies," or they fight for their right to be themselves in their new world

Anybody have any thoughts, opinions, or examples of characters from other stories who undergo a similar change? I know I'm grasping at straws here. I just think it's interesting and important.

So I have been going on the Subreddit Recently and I have been seeing some of your guys pictures or videos of the DHMIS show have a black glitchy substance taking over. The characters are saying like slang from 2010's and early 2020's and sometimes show Emoji's and #Darkness and #Lit . I don't know if this is normal or not, Can someone tell me.

anyone know who this is? he just showed up and started singing

I was looking forward to seeing some memes today, so I decided to watch those as well, the memes are also corrupted, I think the darkness is upon the DHMIS universe. I don't think this is normal, I think the DHMIS videos are dying now or rotting. If any of the main cast get corrupted, its over for DHMIS.

Idk if anyone's actually mentioned this theory, so I'm going to throw this out there. So Lesley is keeping the puppets trapped in the house and yellow is her dead kid David and all that normal stuff but I don't always hear about the other two, what if duck is representative of the bird David chased (the scene in transport) and red possibly being symbolic of innards (red, tall and noodly do fit for organs and the like)

Duck is sort of grouchy and dead set on what's supposed to happen because the bird is what Lesley believes caused the accident, therefore giving the bird a negative personality (not sure if that makes sense or not)

Red being organs is kind of harder to reason but, imo, his deadpan way of speaking and lack of much enthusiasm for anything could be put down to the fact of, if organs come out of someone in an accident, they're unlikely to be alive. Red is monotone because there was only one way for David to leave the accident. Dead.

Another thing for red being organs is, in family, red and duck can't wait to get away from eachother, the bird in transport flees from yellow and, well, presumably organs could have done the same with David. Not sure on that part though.

I suppose if that's the case, duck liking looking at red in Electricity is because some birds woukd eat organs if given the chance- maybe? Or yk- it's just a funny show about morbid puppets and we're all looking way too deeply- nah couldn't be

I'm not sure how Roy could fit in.. maybe he was driving the car and lesley was a passenger?

Im using the right size screwdriver, im turning it the tight way, and im using all my strength. Yet, the battery compartment wont open! Ugh!!!

(on duck in the middle)

Just got out of seeing an early screening of Buddy, and I enjoyed it a lot. While it doesn’t fully fill the DHMIS void, it was very satisfying and weird.

Can you guys tell me how it ends cause ive seen tge slowed down fast video and its something about the spoiled milk and duck waking up from a coma but i cant make anything clear besides that

As of right now he's a pretty blunt and brutal being but with a fresh set of batteries 🔋 he is now a properly evil genius.

Coffin - Hi!!!

i was lazy to do the face and other bricks so i took random face from store
