I always wondered how Arthur and Lewis would act after Lewis rejoins the group. I imagine Lewis would forgive Arthur, but Arthur cannot even forgive himself, knowing he’s the reason Lewis is now a spirit. As a result, Arthur would be a nervous wreck in front of Lewis and is terrified of angering him.
Of course, Lewis would be worried and wants Arthur to be comfortable around him again, so he’d help Arthur regain his confidence one step at a time.
Lewis = Fuchsia Skull Ghost Arthur = Blonde Guy Vivi = Blue clad girl Mystery = Dog
now that that’s out of the way, let me throw in my two cents into one big post, from beginning to end.
in the beginning, we’re introduced with three characters. a dog, a rad blonde dude, and a kickass blue-clad gal. they’re cruising along, nearing a haunted house when it seems like their truck runs out of gas. sure does give that impression (at least, it did to me whoops) until you see that a fuchsiaspark flew across the dash, causing their truck to temporarily break down (short-circuiting it).
this causes them to stop right in front of the creepy house. curious as any other teenager, they decide to enter the house.
upon entering, the three react immediately. Vivi seems ecstatic as all get out, while Mystery and Arthur seem confused/nervous.
this leads me to believe that Vivi has some sort of connection or interest with the surroundings/show being put on quite instantly. of course that’s before they’re met with creepy armour men with swords coming to life and them running away.
they end up in a room with pictures, and soon they’re falling down through a trap door.
on their way down, they’re met with mirrors, reflecting them back with a distorted image of them all.
Vivi with her eyes blacked out, Arthur missing an arm, and Mystery without a reflection, only broken glass.
Arthur is focused on as he advances down through the distorted reality, down into another room where Lewis resides.
when Lewis is introduced the first thing he does is (supposedly) look at Arthur, then to his orange heart, then back to Lewis with anger before pointing and chasing after him. he instantly noted who he was, and, if it wasn’t apparent the first time around, it should be the second-
he wants revenge.
so he’s left chasing Arthur, and eventually Vivi and Mystery run after when they sense danger. but all Lewis is concerned about is getting his revenge on Arthur.
Mystery stops in the middle of it all and we’re met with a flashback.
four kids this time. the one driving later shown to be Lewis.
Lewis and Vivi are suggested to be in a relationship, the first signs showing then they smile at each other (along with Mystery) - but arthur glances away, seeming upset.
they stop in front of a greencave, and decide to explore it. the first people do is look directly at Mystery and (by the end of the video) like to point out that he’s evil, that he caused all of this.
when honestly, to me, his facial expression seems much more like suspicion with how i’m tying this all up.
as they progress into the cave, they split up. Lewis with Arthur, Mystery (heading that way at first) with Vivi. we see Mystery looking over at the other two, however. in the foreground, there is a bat - and at the very last second of the scene, it opens its eyes.
its green eyes.
evidently, there are sharp rocks at the end of Lewis and Arthur’s cave. Arthur is shown to be looking at Lewis before a green color starts up his arm and over part of his face, and right afterwards he pushes Lewis down to his death.
now we’ve seen green 3 times. the cave itself is green, arthur being possessed, and the bat’s eyes.
green symbolizes jealousy.
steering this back on track, however, Mystery was in the back, watching the entire time as these events unfolded.
what most people probably missed watching the video the first time around was the fact that Vivi’s cave lead to the bottom of the spiked rocks, literally right below Lewis and Arthur’s cave. and she had walked in just mere seconds before Arthur was knocked off the edge.
she saw Arthur die with her own two eyes.
guys, Vivi just watched her best friend, her boyfriend, die. her eyes were blacked out in the mirror because she wasscarred.
Mystery is shown ripping Arthur’s arm off right after the incident.
Mystery seems like he’s able to detect evil, so what he did was literally rip that green half (the arm) away from Arthur before it spread and consumed his mind.
this leads me to suspect a few things, honestly, and i can’t be sure of what the facts are, but it’s a theory, so! the mirror cracked because he wasn’t recognized for the good he’s done, therefore erasing him from the mirror altogether (and cracking it). i mean, he’s just a dog.
this also leads to Arthur having a robotic arm, which was why in the mirror, he was shown without an arm.
backing out of the flashback to the present, it’s shown that as Lewis closes in on Arthur, Vivi jumps in front in an attempt to save Arthur / Stop Lewis.
but then Lewis is shown to have almost offered his heart back to Vivi, and it looks like Vivi almost realizes who he is but not quite before she’s pulled away yet again, leaving the house with Arthur and Mystery.
Lewis’ heart has now turned blue and cracked, unlike in the very beginning when he was shown with an orange heart.
it was still orange because he died while it was still orange.
fire is normally depicted in orange.
he had a burning love for Vivi, and died just like that, still completely in love with her.
the blue cracked heart symbolizes his broken heart- there’s no chance for him to be able to have a relationship with her (or anyone, really) ever again.
and in the end Lewis just fades from their minds and, eventually, reality itself.
a lot of this was probably obvious, but i thought i’d compile it into one big post. do throw in your thoughts, however!!
