WOOLY CRASH OUT REAL???? NOT CLICKBAIT?????
Omg that would actually be so funny
Lowkey ngl I really need for AtA3's price announcement or it's 1st teaser trailer to be like one of those "toons enter the real world" things Y'know?
Imagine this: Wooly eating a sandwich or something sitting on a desk in front of a theory board with like the good old "Who's wooly" "Where's Sam" "What happened to Rebecca" "Why do kids disappear after watching ATA" E.C.T. And then his actual VA just walks in then just goes like "dude?" Then wooly just stares at him for a sec then freezes & falls over or something like that lol.
YEAH LIKE can we focus on the ACTUAL VILLAINS OF THE STORY????
"I fucking hate woolyđ€Źđ€Źđ€Ź" "I fucking hate amandađ€Źđ€Źđ€Ź" I HATE HAMELN CAN WE JUST SAY THAT đđ TF THE BABIES DO ??
Okay, so this is just me guessing what's gonna happen in the third ATA game based on the stuff we got in ATA 2.
First off: where will the third game take place?
At the end of the true ending, Riley goes down a hatch which leads deeper into the library (idk why a library would need that). My prediction is that whatever place we find ourselves in, it's gonna be more focused on Hameln. I've seen theories that where we're going will lead to something related to Hameln's cult and the rituals and stuff like that. It might be an escape hatch, or it might lead to something else. I think that we might be going to where Kate and her group were talking about the tapes-maybe something like a detective-like area with a billboard with different photos and stuff like that.
Next theory: What will the tapes be about?
To get the true ending, you can't help Amanda and Wooly take down the possum and when that happens, they get REALLY pissed at you. Amanda even says "Why didn't you help us? I TRUSTED you!" which probably means that we've lost both of their trust. When we put in the tape we took with us in whatever TV we can find at where we'll be, Amanda and Wooly will definitely NOT be happy to see us- they'll probably be like "Oh, it's you." in hateful tone or something like that. They'll probably be WAY more impatient at us than before. I think that we'll probably have to try and gain their trust back, maybe by getting things for them, connecting with them in some sort of way, etc.
Next theory: Who on EARTH is Wooly?
This damn sheep has me in a chokehold with the very little amount of lore we get from him specifically. So far, we've gotten some flash frames from him when we type in "horror" in the story tape, and it seems to be a reference to the butcher- with all of the meat imagery. A lot of people think he's Sam, another kid we don't know, an Ai program, a literal sheep who gained sentience, etc. I, for one, think that he's a Hameln employee who was transported to the cartoon world in the same way Rebecca was to monitor her and keep her on track. Think about it. He tries to keep Amanda on track with the show, he tries to make the show seem like a normal kids cartoon and-the most notable- the tapes he's present is has the Hameln logo appear at the end. However, I will say that even though Wooly might most likely be a Hameln employee, he's still suffering like Amanda. For example, as I mentioned, when we type in "horror" in the story tape when Wooly asks us what our favorite kind of story is, we get several flashes of meat which might be flashes of Wooly's trauma and at the end, he starts hyperventilating. I feel like maybe he was a Hameln employee but messed up real bad at one point and as punishment, Hameln gave him the same treatment as Amanda-have him suffer in the tapes. Another thing worth noting is that there's a secret tape in ATA 1 in the files which features Wooly sitting in a room. We see this same room again in the announcement video for the second game, where it seems like he's being held captive, with a chicken holding him at gunpoint and him at the end begging for him to be let go to someone. I think that he's being used to monitor Amanda while also being tortured in some way- it might be like Hameln saying "This is your punishment, but you can still be useful to us" or smth like that. To sum it up, I think he's a Hameln employee who screwed up and as punishment, he got transported to the cartoon world to monitor Rebecca to be useful to Hameln while also suffering with his own problems.
That's it for my bigger theories! Now onto my smaller ones...
First off: the door symbolism. Whenever we see the door (which is probably the portal to the cartoon world like we see in the meat ending in the first game) in Amanda's POV, the entrance is a deep red which might symbolize her thinking of the cartoon world as hell. However, when we see the door from Wooly's POV, the entrance is white; maybe he sees it as heaven, or purgatory, or what it actually is- the portal to the cartoon world? It makes sense because Amanda has the mind of a child, so she wouldn't see the door as what it is, but something much worse and Wooly, who most likely has an older mind, would see it for what it is.
Well, that's it for my theories so far! I'll most likely make more of these posts.
I just had an idea of an alternate Lets Start the Day tape for ATA 2 and I wanna write it out into a fanfic
Should I write a fanfic about this idea?
Who is this DIVA đ
Also sheâs my new pfp yippeeee
I love her so much sheâs so pretty, so stoic, so cool, her weapons are GUNS and RIBBONS, I love her hairstyle, I love her so muchâșïžâșïžâșïžâșïž
If you really think about it, you can call Amanda TV Girl.
The video starts with Amanda and Wooly standing in front of a mountain, holding bags filled with equipment.
âHi friend! Iâm Amanda!â
âAnd Iâm Wooly!â
âToday, weâre going camping!â Amanda cheers, bouncing up and down. âGoing camping is perfect for appreciating the outdoors and having fun.â
âWell, if you want to go camping, make sure you have someone to take care of-â
âAlways go camping by yourself!â Amanda exclaims, cutting Wooly off. âHaving someone with you will slow you down if you want to get to the top on time.â
A few seconds of silence pass.
âWell, what are we waiting for? Letâs go!â Amanda says, running towards the mountain trail. Wooly quickly follows her, running much slower.
The video switches to Amanda on the mountain trail. Soon, Wooly finally catches up, huffing and panting.
â *huff* *huff* Did youâŠ*huff* have to goâŠ*huff* so fast?â Wooly rasps. Itâs clear heâs not built for this type of exercise.
âOh come on, Wooly.â Amanda scoffs. âI wasnât even running that fast.â
She turns back to Riley.
âWeâll need to navigate through the trail to get to the top.â Amanda pulls out a map of the trail.
Three video switches to a closeup of the map of the trail that Amandaâs holding.
âWhich way should we go to get to the top of the mountain?â
There are 3 trails that are shown: the left- one that leads to a forest full of wolves, the right- one that leads to a dirty swamp, and the middle- one that leads to the top of the mountain.
Riley points to the trail on the left, hoping for an interesting reaction.
âThat not the top of the mountain. Try again!â Amanda says.
Riley points to the right.
The screen glitches and the map changes to only having the center trail on it.
âCome ON! The faster we get to the top, the more time weâll have to explore before it gets dark. Which way should we go?â Amanda says in a serious tone.
Finally, Riley picks the middle trail.
âGreat, letâs go!â
The video transitions to Amanda and Wooly walking up the trail, Amanda looking at her map and Wooly holding his stomach, almost as if heâs in pain.
âIâm so hungryâŠâ he groans.
âWell, you shouldâve eaten something before we got here-itâs funny âcause you never miss breakfast.â Amanda giggles. Wooly blushes of embarrassment.
Suddenly, Amanda notices a butterfly sitting on a flower.
âLook, Wooly! A butterfly!â
âItâs so pretty!â Wooly exclaims, flapping his hands a bit. Amanda gives him a weird look, but he doesnât notice. The butterfly flies away and the two continue walking up the trail.
The screen switches to the 3 being at the top of the mountain, which shows a forest with tall trees, rocks and grass with small flowers.
âWe made it!â Amanda exclaims. âNow itâs time to set up camp.â She takes off her bag and opens it.
The screen switches to a close-up view of Amandaâs bag with a folded-up tent sheet, deodorant and bug repellent.
âWhich should we use to set up our camp? The tent, the deodorant, or the bug repellent?â
Riley points to the bug repellent.
âNope, we canât use that.â
Riley points to the deodorant.
âYouâre not being very helpful right now.â
Riley points to the bug repellent again.
âHave you EVER gone camping before? Even a person who hasnât would know!â
Now the tent sheet only remains.
Riley begrudgingly points to the tent sheet.
âNice work! Now letâs get to it!â Amanda exclaims.
The video then shows a fully set-up camp with tents, chairs and other supplies.
âHooray! Now we have our camp set up!â Amanda cheers. âNow we can go adventuring in the woods!â
âOh! I have some stuff for that!â Wooly says, grabbing his camping backpack and unzipping it. The video switches to a close-up of his backpack.
âSpotting things up close should be fun. What can we use for that: the book, the blanket, or these magnifying glasses?â
Riley points to the book.
âNo, we canât use that.â
They point to the blanket.
âYouâre going to do this forever, arenât you?â
They point to the book again.
âWhat is your problem? I KNOW you know which is right.â
Now the magnifying glasses remain.
Riley sighs and picks the magnifying glasses.
âGood job! Now letâs go adventuring!â Amanda cheers as she runs towards the woods, with Wooly quickly following her.
The video transitions to Amanda and Wooly walking in the woods with their magnifying glasses. Wooly notices Amanda happily looking in every spot through her magnifying glass like a maniac.
âWhat are you doing?â He asks.
âWhat does it look like? Iâm trying to find cool stuff around here!â Amanda responds. âYouâll never know what youâll find!â
âI guess youâre right.â
âWhatâs something you found in the woods?â Amanda asks Riley.
They ponder for a moment, trying to remember from their childhood. They havenât gone out in the woods much as a kidâŠ
âI mean I DID find a deer skull one timeâŠâ they answer.
âWow! That sounds so cool!â Amanda exclaims. Suddenly, a growl can be heard from Woolyâs stomach. Amanda looks back at him as he looks away in embarrassment, holding his stomach.
They video switches back to Amanda and Wooly looking around the woods with their magnifying glasses. Amanda suddenly looks back at Wooly with a mischievous grin and walks towards him with her hands clasped together.
âHey, Wooly! Look what I found!â She says.
Wooly looks towards her and dreams in terror as the video shows Amandaâs hands open with a spider on them.
âOH MY- A-Amanda, put that back!â he scolds. Amanda giggles and lets the spider free.
âHow about we look around the woods ourselves? We can come back to the campsite and show each other what we found.â Amanda says. âPlus I want some alone time.â
âUh- sure, we can do that.â Wooly responds, looking off to the side.
âGood.â
Amanda walks away with her magnifying glass.
âWell, I guess Iâll be going aloneâŠâ Wooly mutters to himself.
The screen glitches to static for a few seconds until it goes back to Wooly walking in the woods, looking around.
âOooh, look at these!â he says. The screen shows a closeup of a few mushrooms stuck con a tree through Woolyâs magnifying glass.
âThese are forest mushrooms! You can find them all over the place. Can you count them?â
It took them a little while to count, but they eventually knew how many there were. However, they got curious and said âthreeâ.
âCome on, it canât be that hard.â
âSix.â
âDonât try to get it wrong. I KNOW what youâre doing.â He says sternly. It kind of spooked Riley- they never expected him to be like⊠this.
âFine, eight.â Riley begrudgingly answers.
âGood job! I better put his in my journal.â Wooly suddenly pulls out a messy journal from his wool then picks off one of the mushrooms from the tree.
âDonât worry, these arenât poisonous.â
The video shows a closeup of Woolyâs journal as he flips through the pages. As the pages flip, Riley suddenly notices a page that looksâŠoff. For a moment, they saw words like âlosing controlâ and âcanât help itâ on the page. What was that all about?
Wooly then places the mushroom in his journal and writes âforest mushroomâ next to it.
Suddenly, a cry from afar can be heard as Woolyâs right ear perks up.
âWhat on earth was that?â Wooly asks. A few seconds pass before Wooly gets an idea. âMaybe we should check it out. What do you say?â
âUh- sure.â Riley answers hesitantly. This could only lead to something bad- like someone dying.
Wooly puts his journal back in his wool and walks towards the direction of where the sound came from. The video then changes to Wooly cautiously walking in the woods. As he walks more, the background becomes noticeably darker and more unsettling.
âHaha, maybe it was a bad idea to do this.â He says, fidgeting with his hands. âThat sound was probably- just⊠n-nothingâŠâ he trails off.
Woolyâs eyes widen and stops in his tracks as the camera pans to the right, showing aâŠ
dead fox?
Riley stares in horror as they examine the state of the corpse. âDidnât I see this beforeâŠ?â they thought.
Suddenly, they notice Woolyâs mouth drooling, his pupils dilating and his body slightly twitching. Red static starts filling the screen and then it starts glitching heavily.
Wooly starts floating and twitching, his eyes now black voids. Those eyes then start growing multiple smaller eyes like fungi, some more sheep-like, some more human-like and sharp teeth grow in his mouth.
The demented Wooly then lunges at the corpse and starts tearing its flesh apart and eating like a feral animal in the wild. Riley can barely see anything through the heavy glitches but can only catch glimpses of blood splattering and the distorted sounds of bones snapping.
The glitching stops and a monstrous Wooly is seen eating the flesh and bones of the foxâs corpse- squishy, slimy organs stuffing his mouth, blood and bones scattered and spread out like the worldâs ugliest painting. The sight of it all made Riley sick to their stomach.
Suddenly, Wooly grabs his head and groans in pain as the multiple eyes and sharp teeth disappear and as the screen starts slightly glitching again.
Wooly, with his normal features and covered in blood, holds his head and mutters âW-what theâŠâ. Turning his head to the mangled corpse, he screams in horror and covers his mouth.
Wooly then starts gagging and holding his stomach, his eyes still on the body. Finally, he throws up the mushy flesh from the fox alongside the usual bodily fluids that come with throwing up.
Wooly looks down at the vomit splattered all over the grass as he gasps for air, his throat clogged from saliva and throw up. His eyes suddenly widen in realization and he turns back to the mangled fox corpse, shaking in fear.
âN-no⊠no no no no no⊠I didnâtâŠâ
He then starts hyperventilating and suddenly grabs at this throat as if he were trying to choke himself to death.
âWoolyâŠ?â
The camera shows Amanda standing in pure horror, still holding her magnifying glass and holding his in her other hand, now broken. He starts muttering to himself, tears in his eyes and shaking in fear.
âI didnât mean it, I didnât mean it, I didnât mean itâŠâ
Amanda then turns to Riley.
âWhat happened?â
âI-I donât know,â they answer. âI guess he just⊠snapped.â
Amanda looks back at Wooly and slowly walks towards him.
âWooly? A-are you still there?â
She kneels down at him, looks at the body and back at him. Heâs still shaking.
She puts her hand on his shoulder, startling him. He quickly turns to meet Amandaâs gaze, still tears in his eyes.
âIt wasnât your fault.â she says. âYou lost controlâŠâ
Amandaâs words seemed to calm Wooly down a bit, his breathing slowing down and his expression softening.
âI⊠Iâm sorryâŠâ he mumbles, tears streaming down his face and his eyes red.
âItâs fineâŠâ Amanda says. âIâve been thereâŠâ
A few seconds pass.
âDo you⊠wanna go back?â
âY-yeahâŠâ
The two get up from the bloodstained grass, Amanda holding Woolyâs bloody, shaking hand.
The screen fades to black as the Hameln logo shows up as usual, but itâs suddenly interrupted by heavy glitches and it switches to a closeup of Woolyâs bloodstained face, looking directly at Riley with widened eyes.
âYOU DIDNâT SEE ANY OF THIS.â
Then the tape ends and falls out of the VCR.
Authorâs note: My GOD this was so fun to write!! I know it took forever to finish it, but that was because of writerâs block. This is a more Wooly-centric fic that-surprise- includes the Wooly killed Mr. Fox theory!! That part was o fun to write!! Anyway, if you have any ideas for another Amanda fic, you can leave them in the comments! With that being said, have a great day, evening, or night!
Do you think Hameln put the meatman into the show as some sort of punishment for Amanda and Wooly if they ever were to step out of line? Like sort of use their trauma as a way to torment them if they misbehaved?
This makes me hate Hameln even more
Hameln count your days
