      Could the government be the "critters" and the carnis the "prince" ? They are feeding him behind other's back, making it stronger. And since it's from the Earth, it seems that it was indeed sleeping. After all the carnis reach the monoliths, using the singularities/singularity they make a literal god of flesh ?

    One thing I picked up on with vita carnis is whenever the female TTS voice chimes in its usually cultie propaganda. I think the most blatant is when you're told not to fight back against mimics and with the how to eat crawl video where they want you to eat spores.
    I remember being kind of vexed when they went with the trope of mimics being bulletproof until I realized that, and its basically confirmed with the video where they raid the cult compound by showing the swat team taking them down pretty easily. Vita carnis is probably one of my favorites for going with a more ecological approach to their entities, its very comfy.

    Nutrire Co is the critters who fed the Vita Carnis.
    Vita Carnis is a hive mind that crashed from space. (The ocean.)
    And Vita Carnis landed on the planet. (The island.)
    The singularities are transmitters, with all 7 in one place they release a strong enough signal to be found and traced by the other deific hive-mind like entities. (The family.)
    The communion of the 7 singularities is the king drifting into the "ocean" with a "boat" to reach his "family".
    Also, I don't think the "family" is going to help us, I think they're gonna pull a colonialism on us and steal all of our resources and bio-mass, and leave the planet as a barren empty rock.

      Janice also did not follow the instructions at all, instead of running away either to civilization or until she was certain she wasnt being followed, she led the mimic right to her house, and cornered herself.
      The sibling attack happened in 1986. The mimic defense tape was released in 1987.
      None of the siblings paid attention, stood their ground, avoided cornering themselves, because they couldn’t have known to do so. Their recorded death was probably the last straw for countries (and probably C.A.R.C.A.S.) to make the PROPER way to survive a mimic encounter

    Vita Carnis is actually my favorite and most frustrated with analog horror to date. Mainly, the running trend of unreliable narratives Vita Carnis sounds like yet another hopeless doomsday scenario, and yet all you need to do to survive this setting is simple. Don't use the cursed seasoning, don't leave your house with the doors unlocked, live in the equatorial zone, carry a big gun, a spare gun, and fire at all times, our lovable gas mask, and lastly bring friends!
    1. Mimics like hiding in your home, in your furniture and in your walls, keeping your home on lock down every time you enter and leave will keep them out, or at least make their entry an obvious one.
    2. Most of the Harvesters live in the north, and the great majority live around the monoliths. Naturally staying away from an ambush predators is the easiest way to avoid it. Having others around to save you on the off chance a harvester is having a beach episode would be recommended, or wear some knightly shin guards, both work.
    3. Mimics are said to be bullet proof, if you know how bullets work this spindly excuse for a shy guy would not be able to hold itself together once you have a gun bigger than a cap gun. High powered hunting rifles I would argue would be enough to put one down or at least maim it severely. Naturally you aim for the mouth, where softer tissue is exposed, or the joints like knees and elbows to incapacitate it, and then set it on fire with some readily available molotovs. Elder mimics will be harder but they'll go down all the same, remember the narrator is a liar in analog horrors.
    4. Gas masks will protect you from the spore carriers, and friends can keep you from getting caught lacking when one's around. If you're hunting the carrier down, make sure you're stocked on filters and fire, the rest is easy since it can't run very well.
    5. Hide from the government, do your best to hand make everything or buy it without leaving a paper trail, since we know mimics are a part of the government now and, to no one's surprise, don't have our best interests in mind.
    6. Stay in contact with our friends in CARCASS, given how they're hunted by the government means they're on the right track.
    Good luck survivors, and remember, stay away from the seasonings.

      Mimics are not stated to be bullet proof at all. The original documentary was made by unreliable collage students fed information primarily from the cult. (Other than the singularity that is.) A pistol would most likely be enough to take one down with a well placed shot, higher caliber and automatic weaponry would for sure shred through them.
      I have reason to believe that the guards in facility-0 were stage two mimics, and they were taken out just as easily as a normal human would be when shot. (Why else would armored guards be unarmed, also look at their fingers!)

      But all 3 of those would not easyly be able to detect soldiers on foot ( night, snow to dampen footsteps, low sound)
      This could also be the reason for the harvester transition, recognising that a foot attack could be effective and trying to use harvesters as defence

    My theory on why the trimmings are so attracted to radio stations and signals is because they are listening for wavelengths linked to the singularity.
    Also this is a bit of speculation. But the Monoliths are most likey guarding the singularity and the facts that the area around them is fenced off and some organisation likes to keep info about the monoliths and singularity secret make this likely.

    • @Goldenkitten1
      @Goldenkitten1 Месяц назад +4

      But there are seven Singularities and there's no mention that Monoliths surrounded the other seven. Instead there are seven Monoliths, as if waiting for the rest of the Singularities to be gathered to them. It's true that early videos make it seem like they're guarding the Singularity but as we get more information it seems more likely that someone (an early version of the cult?) brought the first Singularity there in preparation for when the others were located and moved.

    The reason why it’s the “abbreviated flesh” is because google translate is the worst thing in the universe, “abbreviatus” translates to “abrasion” the abrasion flesh, refers to how they’re hurt or damaged, probably meaning that to get to that stage also includes getting hurt along the way

    I know mimics are pretty smart, but I wonder if they gain some sort of consciousness or awareness present in humans (speech, emotions(?), etc.,) when they gain the usual characteristics (skin, hair, etc.,) Probally not, but it’d be cool to have antagonists in Vita Carnis being “False Humans” , who could be dismissed as humans from a glance, but are actually Mimics only able to retain their appearance and human-like behaviour through their steady diet.

    The Mimic introduction video separated from the complete version ends with the aftermath of the attack on the closet, the victim 1 was devoured inside the closet, while Genet was killed out of a closet (probably in the same hallway she was in when Mimic was at the door seconds earlier in the recording). The cameras also fell in opposite places, the first fell with its back to the victim, then the second fell looking at Genet and Mimic. So it is more likely that they are different attacks. The location of the attacks are also different.

    I dont think the vita carnis is there to provide for humanity as the "help" the prince promised; i think within the popular theory, the vita carnis on earth is analogous to the magic of the prince, the prince being the singularities or whatever is waiting to communicate through them.
    The vita carnis is waiting for this entity to awake, is keeping the entity safe and alive, and if the cult awakes it early, perhaps the entity WILL promise to help humanity - and that may come as more vita carnis - but that will come *once the entity has left and returned with something bigger*. Remember, the prince simply gave a display of his powers, then left, promising to help the critters *once he returned*.
    Another slightly terrifying, unrelated note. The mature humanlike mimic- if that carries on unhalted, could they become indistinguishable from humans? Could they speak, live and work among people? Could they enter government jobs?

    Just chanced upon this video after watching all of Doctor Nowhere's content. Never seen this channel before, but gods am I glad it piqued my curiosity. The coverage was pretty thorough, the production quality was stellar, and I got to revisit Vita Carnis in a more in-depth analysis type video, which I prefer over actually watching the horror itself (specifically in larger-scale projects like Vita Carnis). Some of my thoughts, the Harvester scene I think was unnecessarily gruesome. I wasnt personally shaken by it, generally suspense scares me more than actual horror for some reason, but it just felt out of place and excessive in execution, especially since every other death is just implied or showcased without any gore. I couldn't help but chuckle every once in a while at the mention of the "meat snake", especially with the large ones that got stuck the jokes just write themselves (hey, they're the ones who called them "meat snakes" when none of the other monsters have a similar naming scheme, of course it's gonna stand out).

    I think the only part I don’t like about Vita carnis is The Harvester video
    It felt like “The Painter” series video for how needlessly violent and dark it was with no real point.
    Yeah, with the Mimic videos it was shown eating people but at least we didn’t see any detailed gore from it
    That aside, this analog horror is fricking awesome for all the worldbuilding and horror it makes

      In an interview the creator was excited to showcase found footage with the host of influence but he did make it needlessly edgy as people were saying the series wasn’t scary enough

      If my theory about the family is correct, it could actually add a lot of context to the story, mainly Vincent’s motivations. I can understand the this take though 👍🏻

      i gave it some thought recently and now think it’s important because of your theory,
      The guy teaming up with C.A.R.C.A.S to take down the Vita Carnis after they killed his family must be what the creator is setting up and it sounds interesting
      It’s just that I wish that the harvester video showed something like the harvesters moving and the family members being crossed out than the face melting stuff

      ​@@FuuFreak5 i mean, its actually a good point maker, they show you what they are capable of doing, while showing vincent's family getting destroyed, i think a gore aproach was the best way of portraying the harvester

      ​@meandtheboyss I agree since unlike with the painter we had little to no idea the extent of how terrifying a harvester attack is or how it would be to experience while the painter basically shoves it in your head how disturbing the two killers kills are this means thiers alot more payoff to the harvester attack scene since we were given relatively vague details to how it would happen
