This Is One Of The Huge Ass Reasons I Consider The Ending Of The Sounds Of Nightmares To Be So Bad, Not

this is one of the huge ass reasons I consider the ending of the sounds of nightmares to be so bad, not in terms of writing but for the characters because really, throughout the podcast, I feel like some people within the fandom forget WHY the ferryman to me, is justifiably hated not just because of the fact we're talking about how Otto's own, and likely only relative got taken from him at a young age causing extreme trauma but for as better as the nowhere seems in allowing kids the chance to defend themselves against monsters, there is this constant underlying theme and narrative throughout the dreams noone has where all the kids Die, like straight up just DIE and you see it time and time again because none of these children are equipped for this world they were pushed into, noone might've got here willingly but that doesn't mean others did and that's a heavy distinction whereas noone to me has no idea what she's walking into in a realistic sense. we've seen how the nowhere has the tendency to twist and morph these children, even turning them into monsters, it is not a safe place, it can be a place where noone gets to finally have their moment of complete health, of not feeling the effects of the water disease, the headaches, the tumor that grew into her head but remember it got there because of the nightmares, it looked like an eye, and to me that symbolises the simple fact the more noone would deny the nightmares, the more internally, they'd come for her, they would take away her health, to make her be manipulated into the idea that the nowhere is the safer option, and it also could've been a side effect of otto's meddling but I just don't believe that, up to this point, you can see that really, he's only trying to read her mind and the limits he takes with the experiments always goes to just wearing helmets, connecting things up to the brain, but never going as far as to push a boundary he at least knew would put noone off with the fact he didn't do tubes in her stomach or worse things like noone's old doctor, he denied her of her place to discuss her mental health and overall had major issues in his behaivor and as a whole just had been difficult with the truth, but you know to me, the best thing about otto in noone's circumstance is he at least, when it counted, respected her wishes, and that to me is really the most that could make me feel he still wanted to help her, in spite of the fact he was so stuck in his own ways. he wanted to help her for his own benefit, but he was still trying, and really, I can't blame otto for being at least distraught with noone when she did go, because if these nightmares indicate anything and also, take it into account that otto killed a moth, something noone loved and told him they had a fascination / fixation on, and all of the kids in the nightmares were constantly dying ( I include rusty in this ) so to some extent, to me, that symbolized one thing, noone accepting the nowhere was worse than any disease because she is actively engaging with potential death

Noone choosing to take the Ferryman's hand:

Imma be honest, I hate Noone for choosing the Ferryman but I still understand her choice. But still...

Basically Noone wanted to leave Otto so she can finally rest and not be experimented anymore, but as much as I understand her situation I still think that she shouldn't have second or triple thoughts about joining Nowhere. Like she literally saw children dying almost all the time and the adults are far, far, FAR worse than Otto.

Maybe if Noone really thought about it and notice that Otto was hurt by the Ferryman taking his sister, she could have realize that he is just as scared as her.

Also I NEVER believed that the Ferryman "saved" Noone at all! Cause base from the LN comics, he takes children away from the moment their life is in grave danger and comes in to the rescue to look like their savior then he takes them to the Maw which is where children are lock up, kept from escaping, getting killed, turned into the Guest's meal and turn into Nomes. The Ferryman is the bad guy here, yes Otto was bad but he would obviously lose his job and get arrested if he ever took it too far.

While in Nowhere, it's either get killed or kill to survive, Noone is obviously gonna regret chosing Nowhere, like Rusty and Low. She will try and find a way back to the real world, but the end will be ugly like with Rusty.

If I had to choose between getting experimented and lied to OR go into a world where everything and everyone is gonna kill you for their own needs no matter what, then I'll go with the experiments! What would you do?

And the Ferryman knew this would happen if he continue to appear in Noone's dream, making her think she'll be safe if she enters through Nowhere as a whole, if he continue to torment Otto by his riddles and signs of him taking Noone the same way he took his sister.

If Noone and Otto had just talked to each other, tell each other the truth about themselves, even ONE talk... They could have realize what they're doing, what they're thinking to do is wrong and how much the Ferryman messed with their mind! And Otto change his way of treatment, Noone being fully honest with herself and maybe, JUST maybe TSON could have a good ending.
