"How the gentle wind
Beckons through the leaves
As Autumn colors Fall..."
What did it all mean? And why is this show so comfy?

MEGA where?

>the loveliest lies...of all
What in god’s name did he mean by this?
Charles Carter
I've heard theory that the lie is that they ever left the traintracks, aka they got hit by the train which is why we hear the train noise at the beginning of every chapter intro.
Jason Parker
It means the happy ending is a lie and you need to accept it
Brody Diaz
The "happy endings for everyone was a lie" thing is pretty much the only way it can be interpreted.
>I think about this shit every fall
Hudson Murphy
These
are acceptable theories but it also can be referring to the fairy/folk tales that OtGW is inspired by.
The beast isn't just some animal, the woodsman isn't an insane murderer, the pumpkin people are just (mostly) normal people, the father who funds the school isn't just an evil bastard, you can't reduce someone down to one core trait, the talking animal companion may not be entirely benevolent, the ghost isn't real, the old hag is actually a nice person, Wirt isn't really a loser (it is shown that he is actually well liked by his peers, he just needs to be more sure of himself), the lamp isn't the soul of the Woodsman's daughter, and the deals he makes are foolish.
I like both interpretations, and I mean, they're also completely compatible with each other.
Wyatt Howard
i like this one too
Jason Lee
Whilst this is a good interpretation, I wouldn't really call these lies "lovely" unless the characters enjoy these lies, so I don't think that's what he's referring to
Ryan Cox
I thought he was just referring to the "golden memories" being the "loveliest lies". You always remember good times more fondly than they probably were, and likewis, people look at the past (especially the patural folksy America) through the same lens. But I think it's more about happy memories not being entirely honest.
Jaxon Bennett
I was more so trying to infer that classic folk tales are the lovely lies.
Isaac Adams
>the loveliest lies...of all
are stories
Stories are the loveliest lies of all.
The unknown is the resting place of long forgotten stories
Eli Morales
The way he says that last "lies..." always gets me. That song is a big part of why i love the show so much.
Connor Wilson
Picked this bad boy up two days ago. There was also a cool t-shirt that I'm considering going back for
Asher Reyes
picked it up from where?
Aiden Scott
>why is this show so comfy?
Because the creators realized that Autumn is the comfiest season and thus making a show about Autumn is comfy
Benjamin Baker
Yes nailed it. This one.
Ethan Robinson
I got it from a shop in northern Illinois that sells collectibles that the owner finds. I have also seen this same poster on Etsy, so you can pick it up there.
Colton Jenkins
>Of golden memories
Memories are lies because they morph and change over time. So those golden memories we fondly recall are the loveliest lies of all.
That's what I took it to mean anyways.
Julian Cox
whilst i enjoy the "they died" theory, I think this is most likely the case, it just never felt like they were hinting that the boys got hit by a train
Lincoln Taylor
This. People always look back on past memories in rose colored glasses
Austin Hernandez
It is worth mentioning that those theories are not mutually exclusive. While is probably exactly what they meant, it isn't outside reason that they really did die as well.

Anthony King
Bingo- that's my interpretation
Nathan Adams
The "Fall" bit means the leaves are moving towards the ground but it's also a pun on the term Fall meaning Autum
Jason Richardson
And why did you watch it just now instead of long ago, and why do you start each thrad with the word comfy?
Ethan Ortiz
idk about that other thread but over the garden wall is pure comfy
Easton Reyes
Was he the devil?
Isaac Sullivan
Comfy has been used constantly on this site for years, what level of schizo is it when you think two threads using it must be made by the same person?
Owen Jenkins
You have to go back.
Juan Walker
last great show
