Clearly Black Souls hooked you hard.
Heck Black Souls was the reason i made a account here & my first post asking lore questions was unhinged as fuck.
The best thing i can recommend if you want to properly deep dive into the rabbit hole.
Start from page 1 to 432. Back then people way smarter than me figured out lore connections & plot twists. That helped me understand the hidden backround plot & relationships between characters.
I did the same thing & even during 2023 i still found out new stuff with the help of users here.
From missing special boss encounters in the Chaos Dungeon or NPC quest conditions.
Or in other word`s go back in time(pages) & find Alice.
A bunch of us are already there we'll be waiting .
I can see that I did tire you, I apologize.
Also, Alice alone can't satisfy my... curiosity~
Rather those outer ones that don't want children are exceptions. The garden wars are a thing and the children are the soldiers.
A mirror of someone is not their opposite. If someone says a person is a "mirror image" of another person, they don't mean they are their negative (that would be more commonly referred to as a shadow), they mean the two people look exactly alike. This is where a lot of frustration in this discussion is coming from. Your understanding of the English language isn't the greatest which leads to weird interpretations of text a native speaker would never arrive at.
Like your obsession with Cheshire being Alice based partly on the line "seeing the dream of dear Alice". That doesn't mean she is seeing the dream Alice is seeing. She is seeing "the dream of dear Alice", or the ideal of Alice, or her ideal Alice even since she goes on to elaborate that Alice is still Alice regardless of her imperfections. Combined with her dialogue just prior to her boss fight where she exposits her own past as Alice's cat and states how eager she is to meet Alice, she clearly is not Alice in any way, shape, or form past, present, or future.
1. Idk tbh. Lewis Caroll being a pedophile irl is a bit of a pop-culture myth, but it seems pretty likely he is one in Black Souls if we take the Alice memories for granted. Grimm being rapey/murdery can be safely chalked up to Mary Sue's creation of Grimm and the awfulness of smashing 8 or more souls together into a regular person. Maybe Lewis is the base person, and all the authors hate him b/c he's a pedo. Who knows!
2. TCO made Grimm obsessed with finding Alice. It's part of his very fucked up idea of love and the whole breeding thing they have going on. Is that Lewis Caroll? Probably not. I don't think Grimm is actually, canonically evil.
It seems the Dead Red hood game is still up for debate on when it occurs timeline wise, will it be before BS1? After Red Riding Woods, after BS1 but before BS2, or post BS2. But a few evidence in DLC 3 suggests it might occur post BS2. On the developer Ci EN it is stated that the game may come with a short "game" of some sort where Grimm and RRH live in one house together (either post BS2 end H, or end G). That game is separate from the DRH (dead red hood) game (so the timeline for the game is still a mystery). Another hint is after dueling Lindamea in DLC3, he shows interest in Red Hood and even states that he intends to rebuild the Black trial. Black trial is the organization Red Hood joins in DRH in order to "atone" for either her sins or for Grimm or both (I only MTL'd the Ci EN). Interestingly enough on the characters introduced so far that are in the black trial, LORD Hein and Miranda/Merphylla are not in it. So this suggests that either this game may take place after BS1 before BS2, or post BS2 (miranda wants to be corpse eating miranda/vagrant, LORD hein wants to be a train conductor).
So with that in mind, if DRH is set after BS2 then it may be set in the short time before RRH becomes bedridden/ close to death (to twist the knife even further), so the setting may be Grimm escapes wonderland/winterbell and returns to reality. Grimm spends a short amount of time with RRH living together, some shenanigans happens and RRH needs to join Black trial in Agartha (DRH game setting). DRH ends, RRH reunities with Grimm, RRH's lifespan is close to ending. Cue Heartbreak end CG. So the game would be one "final" send off for RRH till she possibly/hopefully gets revived in BS3.
One interesting part about the demonic princess game (based on Ci EN 2022 post) is that they will be the heroines of that game (allied with protagonist which will be another male [most likely not GRIMM]). It will be a hunting like game wherein you can build and craft weapons based on monster drops (kind of like monster hunter but turn based probably).

But only Node expects her children to win the war, while TCO and Mabel led Grimm to acquire Guignol, to consume him after I guess and get almost unlimited power to Change. It would be useful in Garden wars.
Kuti wants a children because it can be used as an avatar for her father or mother.
Mary Sue and Jabberwock are scheming something too, but there is not much information. It is unlikely that their scheme was finished when Mary game Grimm her ring, important item for Grimm to wake up (if him waking up was not an illusion masterfully created to deceive).
That's all I guess.
Do you know Through the Looking-Glass? Where everything is reversed and doesn't make sense? Being reversed or mirror image can have many meanings. Like if you write 01 on the paper and show it to a mirror, you will get 10, which is a complete opposite! But the numbers are same! GOD and DOG! Though Mabel is not a part of that story, in reality she was Alice's neighbor that was opposite of Alice, and in the game she is more likely reversed Alice, unless you believe Mabel that she is a substitute for Alice? Which makes even less sense.
Who other than Alice knows names of Kitty and Snowdrop? Her cat Dinah? Unlikely.

I believe Carroll was pure pedophile, not the naughty one, since he wasn't caught doing something suspicious. He loved Alice Liddell as if her father and a bit more. Yet nothing but Mary's shenanigans can explain his violent and lustful nature. Perhaps it's okay to become mad when you are sharing body with other 8 people? But...
Grimm/Carroll is losing control only one time in the game, in a place where Alice's clothes were conveniently placed. It feels like as if Grimm/Carroll is limited by a script that Outer Ones are written for him. Grimm/Carroll can't stop looking for Alice, even ending G didn't stop him.

I don't like the idea of being associated with your morning wood... it's gay...
I wanted to write a brief chronological sequence about what happened before BS1, in the process of BS1 and BS2 but... I have found strange coincidence.
Black Souls 1. Alice-01 called MC as lord Grimm
I didn't find anyone in BS1 who would call Grimm as lord.
Black souls 2. White Queen Node called MC lord Grimm
I didn't find anyone else in BS2 who would call him lord Grimm. Prickett/TCO calls him just Grimm.
*sigh*

When you try and save everyone from Jub jub on first run and see a pile of bones:
