Well i beat DLC 3. and tbh I have way more questions than when i started. i assumed some of my questions from the previous dlcs would be answered here but nope.
I'll just throw a few of my questions here. if you know pls reply i genuinely want to know what's going on.
1.Grimm and Caroll are the same person right? Grimm is like his pen-name he uses when writing Fairy Tales? When you wake up in ending G you walk real slow like an old man, so I assume i'm playing as the 60+ year old Carroll.
2.What even is the "real world"? If both BS1 and BS2 where all dream worlds it would make sense that all these gods can change stuff as they please. But apparently Mary can still make changes to Grimm's existence even in the real world? How? Also how is Little Red Riding Hood in the real world next to Grimm? I can understand Victoria being like Carroll's maid in the real world or something. But isn't Red Hood a Fairy Tale character written by him?
3.How is a character "created"? Like do people from the real world just keep getting sucked into these gardens? Like why does Node need to keep breeding new versions of everyone if gods can seemingly just create whatever characters they want?
4.Isn't wonderland a world created by caroll so he could have fun with an imaginary alice? How exactly did he trap himself there? Aren't the crawling girls created out of his obsession for the real alice? Shouldn't he be in control of everything?
5.Where did Queen Lorina and Eagle Edith come from? Lorina clearly recognizes you as Carroll. Are they actually Alice's family from the real world? Just more characters made by Grimm? I can see Edith getting thrown into the looney bin due to her inability to speak, but how did Lorina become a tyrant? And why is she a nightmare when she's never seen next to the other 3?
6.Is the real world alice (the married old woman with kids) aware that any of this is happening?
7.How does any of the DLC fit into the story? What is the carpenter? What is the world from Kuti and the Oyster? What is Winterbell?
8.What is Mabel? What is Prickett? What is Node? Are their identities ever truly explained?
Honestly I expect most of these to just be "idk man. no one knows its up to interpretation" or "way for new red hood game or bs3 in 5 years". Which, fair enough, i know this game is meant to be cryptic, just wish so many crucial dialogue wasn't hidden. or that every dialogue didn't have 17 layers of lore behind it.
I'll answer some of the ones not answered above.
5. I'm of the opinion that anyone that has alternate form at 0 sen is an old one, which would include Loreina. Edith is more like Jack and the other "normal" residents of wonderland. Modified beings to fill the story/world.
She was originally intended to be another heroine but "there were too many bird girls".
6. She's the one that summoned crawling one. I would guess after that she was captured by crawling one, de-aged/killed, then her form copied. Her soul remains in the white space.
7. Not sure what you mean by who is the carpenter. In game, it's the deep sea knight. Originally, the carpenter is from the story Walrus and the Carpenter, which is about the two eating oysters on the beach. Supposedly, he is guarding Kuti because she did not recognize him as human due to his suit and thus turned him into a servant. When she first meets you, she comments that you have skin, the eyes are in the right spot, and that you are a man, all of which she wouldn't be able to tell through the carpenter's suit.
The deep sea that Kuti resides in is still in wonderland, her and her sister (oyster) are uninvited guests. They snuck in after their parents refused to come.
Winterbell is Node's old garden. She abandoned it to watch over Grimm. Node and crawling one put Grand Guignol there to hide it.
8. Node is based on

. In this story, she is taking the role of the guiding white rabbit from wonderland so she can be close to Grimm, whom she loves. She is also best girl.
