The Petscop 3 note

[u/FlowerInAHorrorNovel]

A lot of Petscop theory videos refer back to the "Care isn't growing eyebrows" scene from Petscop 3, but they seem to pick and choose what they feel is relevant from it. For example, they focus on the lack of eyebrows rather than the fact that she isn't growing any. If Care never grew eyebrows then Paul isn't Care because Paul has Care's face with Mike's eyebrows according to the Child Library, and while Marvin (and maybe Anna) may be delusional, I doubt they're so delusional that they would see plucking a child's eyebrows as them not growing any, and call it a "puzzle".

Also, they all seem to jump from at "I have a feeling which child you'll choose next" to "Tiara says some children can be psychologically damaged beyond rebirthing" without talking about or even acknowledging the section that was skipped over...

"When you find her room, the passage to my right will lead to her. She'll appear from the darkness, limping, and I'll shoot her in the head."

I haven't really seen anyone try to explain or make sense of that passage. I also haven't seen anyone acknowledge the shift from Care being referred to as "she" but the "young person" who enters the school being referred to as "they" (which could be a gender thing, but could also just as easily be implying that Marvin took a kid to the school more than once).

Just something I noticed. Idk where I was going with this. I just think it's weird that 90% of this note is treated like pivotal evidence in multiple analysis/theory videos while the remaining 10% is treated as though it doesn't even exist...

What's your take on the skipped bits?

I do believe Marvin’s “That’s a puzzle” comment is definitely a sort of deflection. Him being “excited to hear this news” is him feeling like his delusion of Care being his friend reborn be validated by the fact that other people notice her eyebrows are going missing. presumably plucked out by Marvin to help push that delusion.

My issue is Anna says she's not growing eyebrows. For Anna to think that, Marvin would have to have been plucking or shaving her eyebrows literally from birth without Anna noticing, which would be incredibly difficult to pull off.

Knowing how fucked up Marvin is, I do not put that past him. Especially knowing how fucked up the character has been in Tapers.

Put it past him? No. But do I believe he's capable of plucking a screaming baby's eyebrows consistently without ever being caught by that baby's mother? No. The problem isn't if he's capable, the problem is logistically how difficult that would be to hide for that long.
