It feels like Sam’s life has been nothing but one downward spiral. Nothings ever gone in his favor, so of course the day the apocalypse begins is the same day he’s being evicted from his apartment.

ugghhh i missed drawing beasts

Do you have any plans on drawing twice-cursed Lyle in your "things that crawl? au? If he does indeed get twice-cursed?

Nnnot entirely sure if this is the final design I'll stick with but heres something

Welcome to EVIL as FUCK Look Outside, the hit EVIL game called See Inside. All your favorites are here

Bram (Sam)

Rodent Kid (Rat Baby/Child)

John (Joel)

Halo (Hellen)

Leah (Leigh)

Stan (Dan)

Xenia and Monroe (Xaria and Monty)

Papa (Papineau)

Horton (Morton)

Sonia (Sophie)

Eustace (Ernest)

Buggy Joe (Roaches)

And who could forget other such characters! Like Kyle (Lyle), Jane (Jeanne) or the lovable large bug, Pippy (Phillippe)! Come play the game now it’s very good

hey BTW is it ever explained who boarded up Apartment 23. is that an interaction I missed or is that just not explained ever

anyway the explanation I'm going with if the game doesn't have one is that Lyle did it. because I think it would be very funny if Leigh tried to kill Lyle because she was bored and Lyle managed to get her to go away by using his camera flash on her repeatedly in a blind panic. would also explain why the key to his apartment is right next to Apartment 23 since I can absolutely imagine Lyle accidentally dropping the keys to his apartment and not noticing

Evil Sam. The Sam that is evil. The version of Sam that is not good. Sam but evil

Guys, if you ship Sam and Dan, they can be called DAMN !!!

evil sam

My friend sent me whatever the fuck this is and asked me if this is Look Outside

Lyle time :)

Wanted to try analyzing Lyle in depth/just my general thoughts and opinions about him. all under cut 👇

Alright. I want to preface this by saying that I am not justifying anything unethical that Lyle has done by any means- moreso I am trying to figure out a reasoning as to why he is the way that he is. Nor am I trying to “woobify” him or whatever, I just think he’s genuinely an interesting character I’d like to dissect. Morally greyish. I also apologize if it seems I am grasping at straws at some points, hopefully I’ll be making good enough reasoning for my thoughts.

First off, I believe Lyle has Bipolar Mood Disorder. It seems he’s been suffering through a manic episode during the events of the game and even beforehand. He talks of a project he has been working on in his dark room, and while its clear these are just photographs of Sam (for the most part), Lyle could still consider this an actual project; likely something he’s obsessing over because of a drawn-out manic episode. Because he has an interest in photography, he likely reverts to similar activities during these episodes.

His chronic obsession with Sam could also explain this. It’s not uncommon for people with Bipolar Mood Disorder to become obsessed with another person, and y’know, being turned into a giant mechanical camera spider probably isn’t helping much. It’s clear he’s ashamed of his new form (based on his reaction when you look at him), and he knows Sam probably wouldn’t relish in his appearance either, which only worsens the obsession.

Obviously Lyle has a crush on Sam. I… don’t need to explain that. Lol. Clearly Lyle isn’t treating this crush the same as the average person would, though, and I believe this is because he literally doesn’t know how else to. Bipolar heavily influences on one’s relationships with other people, and assuming he’s not exactly an extroverted individual (anxiety meds? being a weird nerd?), he tends to be ‘creepy’ towards Sam with the photography and all. I’m lenient on calling him creepy because I don’t think he fully understands what he’s doing is bad, nor do I think being ‘creepy’ is necessarily intentional. It’s just a combination of disordered thinking, romantic obsession, and emotional irregularities.

I understand he stole Sam’s spare key. Again, Im not trying to justify it, it’s.. not good at all, but I don’t think there’s actually any proof he’s used it before? So I cant really speak on that topic too much. Maybe he took it in a frenzy and was too anxious to return it. I dunno 🤷‍♀️. Its a little too far even for him, I mean, he asks Sam for consent to kiss. Whatever you wish to believe, I suppose.

In general I think some therapy and mood stabilizers would help him plenty. My boy just needs some help regulating his emotions is all… thanks for listening to my rambling. I love him a lot!

Oh I have to ask. In your Things That Crawl AU, what does Lyle think. I could see him having similar reactions to Hellen's. We know that even if it wasn't healthy, Lyle was the one who knew Sam the most, longer then anyone else, his constant stalking means he knew what Sam was like and they may have even actually worked together. I personally just can't see Lyle accepting this "New" Sam but I could be totally wrong, I'd love to here about Lyle in your au.

Oh yeah Lyle absolutely does not accept the new Sam

My first thought was that Lyle does what he always does when the going gets tough, and that's try to steal Sam's soul. I don't really like that idea though... cause either it works as both a cop-out and definitive answer to Sam's state of mind, or it doesn't and that's still an answer of some kind, which I don't want.

The alternative is really dependent on the extent of the powers I wanna give Visitor!Sam(? Idk if this is what I wanna call it but we're going with it for now) and how fucked up I want that to go.

Hi Lyleee

Oh my fucking god they made lyles singular visually inconsistent foot even worse

EDIT: OH MY GOD ITS AT LEAST PARTIALLY MY FAULT. I SENT IN A BUG REPORT ABOUT HIS WRETCHED 3 TOED FOOT. IM TO BLAME.

it's so wild to me that you absolutely cannot force a hyperfixation to happen. like you'll watch the most perfectly tailor-made-for-you content that everyone says you'll love and feel absolutely nothing, and then the thing you watch on a whim to fill time will reach through the screen and put its damn fingers in your brain and start rearranging the neurons right in front of you and every single time you're like THIS??? THIS??????? and this happens like every 6-12 months forever

When the curse of "oof ouch my womb is a bitch" is so powerful even eldrichood doesn't save you

(totally not relatable to me lmao)
