12/23/2024 @stickbugcity: someone else already mentioned the skeleton in the basement being Weird in creative mode, but also i love watching the way he just. stares down the stairs every time he enters the cellar. and the choppy movements as if he really doesnt like to be down there, like something bad happened down there. its just really well acted, fantastic job.
in other news, smiley has a name!!! everette. and a mysterious friend who moved away, wonder whether there will be parallels between oliver and andrew
12/23/2024 @zerotwo6814: Originally I was thinking that the friend who moved away was "Smiley" and this was meant for him to see from his own friend named Everette. I'm not sure of that, of course, but I still see either as a possibility. This is still rather cryptic, but enlightening either way.
12/23/2024 @whiteroger1179: @stickbugcity as seen in the 'Into the mind' episode, Its possible that the name 'runesworth' (that appeared everywhere) could be his second name, making:
Everette Runesworth.
Sounds like a proper villain, but knowing smile, I don't think it's safe to say this guy's name 😱😱🎃🎃👻👻👻
12/23/2024 @petasum444: smiley drowned himself in the cellar well after the video "THATS WHATS FRIENDS ARE FOR." that's what the call of the well meant all along. He got Chris to do the same and now he's trying to get Andrew to do it.
edit: I rewatched the video on the channel called "Echoes Of A Lost Soul" and in that video at 6:22 Andrew reads a book written by smiley. In the book it says that smiley actually drowned himself in a different well that was in the forest outside his house. Another thing it says in the book is "My parents, my classmates, my teachers, all of them. Spoiled rotten." This kind of further solidifies the idea that smiley didn't really have a good relationship with his dad. I mean he literally knew where the rifle was in the house. His dad was diffidently negligent toward him.
edit 2: Normally I don't make this many edits to a comment but I keep making connections between different things in this series. this video seems to be made for smileys friend named "Oliver" who moved to a different state. I think over time Smiley and Oliver slowly drifted apart cause smiley to lose his only friend. This brings me to my theory on smileys motivations for doing all this to Andrew. I think in a weird twisted way smileys trying to turn Andrew into him. Like he needs someone to feel the pain of what he went through. He killed Chris so that Andrews one friend would be gone. like how Oliver was smileys only friend that he lost. Now he's trying to get Andrew to drown himself in the well just like he did.
12/23/2024 @sboy2044: Like in real life? Why would they all have a cellar under their houses? And wdym by the call of the well? (I forget a lot of stuff each time I come back to the channel)
12/23/2024 @TheNotableMan1: what did you think the call of the well was before lol?
12/23/2024 @whiteroger1179: @petasum444 And it must of went on years before that. In closer inspection, we can see that Chris got told to gather the bones, and that he also got the Lethe Protocol, why would smile make Chris get closer the himself being stopped? But anyway, probably there were other people who tried to make the successor not make the same mistake they did, which is currently Andrew. Speaking of smile letting himself get stopped, why wouldn't he just kill Andrew (in the game) and steal the bones back? It's almost as if he wants to be stopped.
12/23/2024 @petasum444: @sboy2044 It doesnt have to be a well in the cellar. it just has to be a well i think. Also the call of the well is something that smiley has mentioned a couple times now in older videos. we didnt know what it meant but now im pretty sure it means suicidal thoughts.
12/23/2024 @petasum444: @TheNotableMan1 i thought it was something supernatural idk.
12/24/2024 @karlhnedkovsky5214: @sboy2044 No, it's just a made up story using Minecraft as a medium!
12/24/2024 @Atomic_Aegis45: I knew where my parents guns were stored in the house and how to access and use them should someone try and break in while I was home alone.
12/26/2024 @TheNotableMan1: @petasum444 oh ok. ty for clarifying
12/23/2024 @LostWarden: I may be overthinking things, but when the skeleton dies, Smiley/Everett picks up 2 arrows, and a single bone .
12/24/2024 @gamerwuz6297: Good observation
12/23/2024 @elara.thyone: For anyone saying that's Chris, its definitely Smile since the dog house says Barny's House (Smiles/Everettes dog) and he seems to be living alone with his dad because apparently his mom left him (as we find out in That's What Friends Are For).
And because she left and didn't die, I don't think the skeleton symbolizes her death, but perhaps Smiles/Everettes.
12/24/2024 @gamerwuz6297: I think Everette doenst know his mother is dead, if he knew, he would probably say it to someone or police, idk
12/25/2024 @ShreyasSuman_Sinha: But he drowned himself in a well deep within the forest
12/23/2024 @LandonBurke-l1n: I might be overthinking but a skeleton appearing in the cellar on creative mode is kinda interesting to me. Considering the mom isn’t in the picture anymore for Smiley. His dad also has a riffle.
Merry Christmas Andrew. Thank you for the wonderful story for thi year. Cannot wait to see the stiry conclusion next year
12/23/2024 @joshua21247: Also note that the “rifle” has a visible durability bar, implying it’s been used at least once…
12/23/2024 @Lewisfowler18-r5u: That means...... Oh......
12/23/2024 @PlagueDucktorAlt: I was wondering why his mom wasn't being brought up, good theory
12/23/2024 @gamerwuz6297: Good theory
12/23/2024 @midxnnight5000: wait a minute that makes sense
12/23/2024 @whiteroger1179: @LandonBurke-l1n so his dad killed his mum...? Is that what you mean?
12/23/2024 @kappuccinokat: oh poor smiley,, so many parallels with andrew’s story too
either way this was a great CHRISmas special!!
12/23/2024 @ethn.s: the fact the rifle/bow in smiley/everette's dad's closet has a green durability bar means it must have been used at least once, perhaps same goes too in real life, perhaps his dad used the rifle on something
12/23/2024 @sandraduncan4303: or someone?
12/24/2024 @agenda7366: What I was thinking is smiley used the weapon on his school since he thinks they were bad people, and to not be caught, he killed himself in the well. H also might’ve convinced Chris to do something similar.
12/24/2024 @YourAverageMango: But to think he made it himself proves he SAW the rifle used
12/26/2024 @klunets: maybe it was used on his mother? we don't know what with her, only that she "leave". also, there no room for mom and only dad's
12/23/2024 @DAVESBIGGESTFAN-k2j: If you pause at the right time right before he goes in his room you can kinda see his name and it’s hard to see but it looks like it says Everett
12/23/2024 @WeAreStillLaughing: Yea I saw that too.
12/23/2024 @cosmologicalx: it looks like "everette"
12/23/2024 @LandonBurke-l1n: @DAVESBIGGESTFAN-k2j Smiley is Lee Everett. Crossover confirmed!?!!!?!
12/23/2024 @midxnnight5000: ye i saw that too
12/25/2024 @eastwardnest271: DAVE??
12/22/2024 @efeyoloji7668: if this was an anime:
my old survival world got haunted and i get trauma every second
12/23/2024 @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457: what
what does this mean
weirdo
12/23/2024 @CyberLucas100: @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457 He's referring to those anime with a ridiculously long title that almost looks like a synopsis of the anime itself.
12/23/2024 @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457: @CyberLucas100 im not a loser so i dont know what this means
thanks anyway
no hate
12/23/2024 @purpuriyu: @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457 sorry but your comment seems very passive aggressive
Why you think that knowing this is equal to being a loser lol
That's just a meme
12/23/2024 @CyberLucas100: @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457 idk, being that passive agressive over something as trivial as a funny yt comment looks like some real loser behavior to me. '-'
12/23/2024 @efeyoloji7668: @CyberLucas100 and his name aswell not to be like hateful but if someone calls me a loser for knowing something and has the name 'tylerfortniteninjablevins' I would call THAT a loser move
12/23/2024 @MoltenLava123: @CyberLucas100 Ralsei pfp I love seeing fellow deltarune fans
12/24/2024 @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457: @CyberLucas100 its not funny tho
12/24/2024 @sxxxxx_x: @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457 different humor exists btw n replying to a comment by calling them weirdo is a dumb statement
12/24/2024 @Jack_Frost11: @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457 i think my comment got deleted but if ur calling people a loser and being passive aggressive that seems hypocritical
12/24/2024 @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457: @Jack_Frost11 alright but its not really
12/25/2024 @Jack_Frost11: @tylerfortniteninjablevins1457 it kind of is, because real losers go around being rude to people for no reason, to be fair picture yourself in their shoes and think how would you react if some person called you a weirdo and when you try explaining they say "well I'm not a loser"
12/22/2024 @Jalexis1-2: This is the smiley world for anyone wondering
12/23/2024 @adamasif8637: How do you know?
12/23/2024 @iggypikminunderly782: @adamasif8637 bc last time this was a similar format and it was smiler before he krilled shrimself
12/23/2024 @mey_8458: @adamasif8637 the editing and quality of the video is almost the same as the vid when smiley's world in another video gets trashed by some mean kids from his school
12/23/2024 @teresahamilton802: I’ve been in this house it’s no joke like it exists
12/24/2024 @brodyman7169: Thanks buddy, I kinda thought that cause he uses the actor mentioned Microsoft movie maker app like smileys previous vids.
12/23/2024 @paperpenn9923: Woah what an addition. I didn't realize "smiley" or Everette was so young, that's so tragic, poor baby :( interesting having a new character introduced, I wonder what role Oliver will play, if any. The rifle/bow freaked me out a little, good call by the commenter who mentioned its durability not being full, I wonder if that's where the mom went... this is actually well acted with the movements alone, it put me on edge and that isn't easy. I can't wait to see what else is in store for this series, it's fantastic.
12/24/2024 @gamerwuz6297: Also theres a skeleton in the cellar, and his mom is dead, you know what i mean
12/23/2024 @OneNOnlyqucumber: I'd like to mention the Rifle is lightly used.
Either Everette used it to deal with a mob in the house, or it was used to match the real gun.
12/25/2024 @patrickbuning950: He is in creative meaning he purposefully damaged it because tools and weapons in creative mode don't lose durability.
12/25/2024 @OneNOnlyqucumber: @patrickbuning950 They did though, if you look at the basement scene. I was going to bring that up, but then I rewatched and saw that his tools did use durability.
I think that's an old minecraft thing.
12/26/2024 @greylight5: The more we learn about Smiley, the more sad I am for this kid. He was such a happy trusting child who didn't deserve anything that happened to him. The repeated betrayal of that trust is what turned him into a bitter vengeful ghost determined to drag other lonely suffering people down with him into the depths of the well.
12/23/2024 @mouselovesyou: im so bad at decripting hidden lore but i love this series so much, im looking forward to seeing more and i hope there will be an analysis video soon, this is one of my favourite Minecraft ARGs.
12/22/2024 @thebrownfrog: 3 days before Christmas. This vid would be a great Christmas gift ngl
12/23/2024 @Kerguelen.Mapping: everyone gangsta until the final video comes and says "based on a true story"
12/23/2024 @NOGITSUNE.: MY BABYHHH 😭 I love the symbolisation in this ARG sm and Smiley IS one of my favourite characters in media so far
12/23/2024 @Muffln: Seriously so well done (pun not intended). I'm convinced you could record absolutely anything and make it eerie and unnerving. It's really impressive that you use Minecraft to reveal so many details about a story where a lot of the important events take place in real life (like the well reveal at the end) 100% the best Minecraft "arg" although it wouldn't really be considered that, that I've ever watched.
The question I'm left with is, where the mother would be in this equation? (could've missed something obvious so if anyone is aware let me know)
12/23/2024 @franandwood14: In “WHAT FRIENDS ARE FOR” it’s stated his Mom left him
12/24/2024 @Muffln: @franandwood14 I see, thanks.
At first I was thinking the skeleton could have symbolized the mom but that's not true assuming she actually just left.
12/22/2024 @Pan_MarchewkaOF: its the smily first world the smily guy has said he did have a world before the one we see in 2014-02-28 minecraft letsplay episode 1 this video is called
2011-12-27 my house called like the first one i know its not 100% but i think its true
12/23/2024 @seanrrr: He might have also been referring to the world from the video "Island in the Mist", where we first see him. In the letsplay episode 1 video, he mentions his old world had a greenhouse, which we see in Island in the Mist, with a very similar build style.
12/23/2024 @shawnstrang6481: I really love the story that you are doing. Keep it up.
12/23/2024 @smileyyface_: well, it looks like we know smile's name now since it's right above his door 4:25 "everette's room"
12/23/2024 @margarettegaeacotiangson9086: Yeah I agree dude
12/23/2024 @oddtomato1049: As a guy not named Oliver I feel delightfully devillish watching this.
12/23/2024 @Kerguelen.Mapping: only thing I know is that he probably moved to Arizona from smiley
12/23/2024 @LostWarden: NEW CHARACTER OLIVER LETS FRICKIN GO MAN.
ANDREW, CHRIS, SMILEY, AND NOW OLIVER LETS GO.
12/23/2024 @whiteroger1179: @LostWarden and we also have got Chris (the dog), Barny, Peices of smile, smile's dad, Goon (the chicken), and if u have seen wifies videos, then possibly *Herobrine*.
12/25/2024 @iamtrustable4617: Y'know after watching this ARG, it's kind of reminding me of NES Godzilla ARG that came out around early 2010's (which for those who never read it or watch it. It is basically a haunted NES Godzilla game). It is not a very popular ARG but it also lean into heavy subject like suicide. Then there's also a sad one like the feeling of nostalgia, losing your closed one and couldn't hope bring it back, mental breakdown and all the symbolism that have something to do with the memories that the main character hold dear to (in this case, a girlfriend). A dive into insanity that the player could have pull the plug a long time ago but they never did.
This Minecraft ARG is extremely good bro, probably the best one I've seen so far, keep it up!
12/23/2024 @EnderSportsVideos: 1:50 block placing (not by him)
12/23/2024 @JohnSmith-wv5km: could be something walking on dirt
12/23/2024 @Admiral1385: The way the sounds happened without much of a pattern (or as much of one that there could be with that few sounds) it’s probably not a mob or something. It also doesn’t sound like walking, but I’m not up to date on old Minecraft sounds so I don’t really know
12/23/2024 @saltypineapple8371: placing and walking sounds were the same back in old minecraft, so i assume it was walking
12/24/2024 @the_8eight: Woah I did not notice that... thats interesting
12/24/2024 @the_8eight: It could be the skeleton tho
12/25/2024 @AndrewDisket: Really cool house man 😊, you know when I was chield I love to make houses in Minecraft, make more content like that. +1 sub
12/25/2024 @kellyn6855: You know this is part of a minecraft arg
right?
12/25/2024 @AndrewDisket: @kellyn6855 what is a Minecraft arg? It's like a qsmp? A Multiplayer series?
12/27/2024 @ryancantpvp: @AndrewDisket ARG stands for Alternate Reality Game, which loosely speaking is a form of interactive fictional storytelling that takes place over multiple forms of media. In the case of Minecraft ARGs on YouTube, most will involve themes of horror, and it is up to the viewer to decipher the full details of the storyline.
In this story made by Andrew, this video is a 2011 recording made by the character that we call Smiley, setting up his backstory as an antagonist, and explaining his motivation for the events that we know will happen later. You can watch the rest of Andrew’s videos to figure out what this story is. Note that this series is fairly heavy including themes of mental health and suicide.
12/22/2024 @Ericbruhwhywhyhy: more smile lore omg
12/24/2024 @ShatteredSaline: the nostalgia this video brings . dear god. this is the kind of stuff i made and watched as a kid. it makes it hit me even more. i like it a lot.
12/22/2024 @BadComedianFr: He has returned 🙏
12/23/2024 @hydra6261: Chris gon destroy Smile on CHRIStmas
12/23/2024 @mrduck2170: Wait correct me if I’m wrong but skeletons don’t shot you in creative or am I remembering it wrong? Does this mean something maybe (The skeleton seems to be hostile at 7:39, and what I remember from Minecraft is that hostile mobs don’t target you)
12/23/2024 @the10ofdiamondscard: they used to shoot you in old versions if you attack first
12/23/2024 @maxboiplayz: I was playing an old version on my xbox 360 years ago and i built a house and showed my dad and gave him the controller then he accidentaly punched a creeper and it blew up. in creative mode.
12/24/2024 @memario2577: it was old minecraft and mobs could attack you even if u were in creative mode but didnt do damage ofc
12/22/2024 @spotspot7285: THE KING IS HERE🔥🔥🔥
12/25/2024 @Bennybo_BOSS: This is so great, love this series
