In my opinion, the Storybook references the Prince as the Singularity, and the Critters as Humanity. Humanity was suffering due to food shortages and their treatment of the planet, and a select few decided to use the Singularity to save them. When it woke up, it saw a species suffering... And decided to help them evolve. So Carnis was created.

The island in the story book is the same island that the singularity probably lives in and some time ago i assume some human was captivated by it and persuaded, since these creatures are inteligente to support the Carnis cause. So the prince/the founder created a cult and using human "magic" aka technology(like television) he set out to help with their food problem. I thought the snake was an example on how the cult helped, feeding humans into the snake. But all this is speculation. Either way is m pretty interested on how this goes

What if its the other way around - what if the critters were some kind of carnis, the prince was the singularity and the food he created for them was humans?

Plus with all of the brainwashing and propoganda by the red triangle guys, it sounds like theyre almost trying to keep the human population complacent with everything? Along those lines, the storybook could be propaganda too.

The story describes the prince being thrown from the ship, I think that would be whatever the origin of the Carnis is falling from the sky and its origins to earth, where it remained dormant for a long time, like the prince. Then in 1930 humans, probably scientists found it and deemed it dangerous, but someone woke it up, and now it's awake and active.

This comment may be only tangentially related but I thought it'd be interesting to point out that the Trimming lifespan first being reported as 2-4 years and then later as 8-12 seems unusual at first but this is likely due to differing contexts more than a mistake on Darian's part. Wild animals can have very different, usually shorter, lifespans compared to their counterparts living in captivity, an example of this is bearded dragon lizards which live to an average of 5-8 years in the wild but can reach 8-12 in captivity.

I think you're correct about the Mimics not being known to the public. In the video he jokes that it would have been the perfect time for a serial killer to attack them. Serial killers are the worst monsters in the real world, in our timeline, so it's a natural choice as a subject of horror. But if the public were aware of Mimics existing the serial killer would be ursupred at the worst monster in real life. He would have said - "It would have been the perfect time for a Mimic to attack us".

@@sufficient4834 ​ if that were the case, i think it would be like the genus thing (carnis) and then the crawl’s species name (scandere) and THEN the other names, as subsections of that same species: i.e. the trimmings would be Carnis scandere ignavus, the Singularity would be Carnis scandere verum, etc… personally i don’t think they’d be the same species like that mainly because a) not all of them originate from the crawl, b) if they were genetically identical they’d at least be physically similar, and c) even if they are genetically similar, their other differences would negate them all being the same species- like how the habitat differences between grizzly bears and polar bears distinguish them clearly despite the two species being able to produce fertile hybrid offspring cool idea tho :0

I just really love how bizarre the "spell" the prince used to create the Carnis is. Like, if the prince is some alien species then sure, flesh creatures kinda like a twisted version of the main species of the planet makes sense. But if he were some ancient human? Or sleeping god? What the fuck did people look like back then? Or has he been asleep for so long that the only thing he can remember are a facsimile of what he once knew? Why meat? Why not plants? Meat specifically? It's pretty interesting to think about the carnis as some being's (whether it be old, deific, or alien) interpretation of what a living thing is. What makes something living? "Uhhh... muscles? Some blood? Organs for sure... it can eat. Annndd uhhh. Yknow what? It can eat and move everything else ain't too important." Like if you tried to get a middle schooler to build a living creature.

I’m surprised you didn’t include the part of the documentary where we experience a first-person Mimic attack in a home. I watched this series before watching this video, and that scene was one that stuck out to me. Not in a “Oh this has lore significance!” way, but a “Oh my dear gods above this is my nightmare.” Especially the end of it, you think the camera person is safe in the closet, then you hear it getting closer, then the horrid fingers slowly, agonizingly pulling the door open… then that face right out of the uncanny valley, the pause as you feel the camera person realize they’re well and truly doomed. I don’t often get scared when watching analog horror. Uncomfortable, yes, worried for the characters, yes, but that scene made me well and truly terrified.

That's one of the scariest parts of Vita Carnis for me as well! I think it's so scary because, as sucky as life can be sometimes, we never have to constantly be on the look-out for predators, but Mimics destroy that relative safety. Since they can hide basically anywhere, nowhere is safe, and there's nothing you can do about them as one person, as they seem to be resilient against most weapons.

God the sound design for this horror really got me. The horrific scene of the family being attacked was bone chilling, the woman being attacked on the tape too. Then the brainwashing commercial was so scary. This is such a well made piece of horror!

Huge problem: Mimics would literally not survive in america.

Finally. A video going over vita carnis! I’ve loved this series after randomly coming across the mimic survival video. I’m stoked to see more people giving it attention

Edit: I watched the vid twice once where I covered my eyes and the other mainly seeing it fully

i personally think that the trimmings are friendly and tamable and now popular pets as a way to listen and understand humanity. in the series its mentioned that trimmings love to learn about people, listen to the radio and watch tv. i also think they can hear frequencys we cant, referencing to when they gathered around the satellite dish.

I have a couple thoughts regarding the storybook and what is being told. - I agree that the Prince is most likely a Singularity, the numbers of which stated to be unknown and most information being blotted out by the government (which may have long since been corrupted by the cult). Based on the way the manner of travel for this royal family is described, it does sound extraterrestrial in nature. - At the beginning, it is said that the Prince was separated from his parents after falling and becoming lost at sea. This could be alluding to the surrounding meteor belt around our solar system, which could've caused such issues (don't know if this one's a stretch or not). - In terms of the Critters, I do believe they represent humanity, but not all of it. Specifically, you could say two groups. The majority who decided against touching the Prince is one group, those few who fed the Prince are another. This will become relevant in a second. - The Critters aren't all of humanity. Instead, it's likely to only be a portion. At least, those who discovered the Prince/Singularity in a resting state. This may have been some members of the government or a research team of some sort. - The latter faction mentioned earlier, those who fed the Prince, may be the very beginning stage of the cult. Those who ally with the Prince, believe what he does can be of help to the world, etc. This cult may have originated from some environmental scientists in this hypothetical research team, and we have seen a substantial portion of them nowadays having great concerns for the destruction of the world, trying to find a way to alleviate it. Though this discovery doesn't take place in our current time, it's not impossible for scientists then to predict the decline in environmental health. Does play into the possible symbolism of the entire series as well. - The aiding Critters, possibly the future cult, may have been researching or communicating with the Prince/Singularity in that pursuit to heal the environment. At some point, he may have come to comprehend that intention (I'm not certain on this part) and proven he was capable of doing so with their help. - The Prince is stated to have left and be searching for his kingdom, in order to bring them to help the Critters. If we were to transfer this context to what is happening in "real life", it could be presented by the systematic and intermittent sounds that the Singularity makes. This may be the attempt to call for that help from the kingdom, speaking at a certain frequency to repeat a particular message. It could also be further referenced by the way that the Trimmings bear interest in television, radio, and satellites as forms of communication or even a possible way to gain contact with their origins, the Singularity. . What the hell have I done. Uh- yeah, that's my interpretation of events. I don't know if it could be considered fully credible, as I've solely watched this analysis and drawn from the information presented in it. Though, it interested me enough to think about more deeply. I found it to be pretty comprehensive, from what I understood. I'd appreciate hearing other thoughts, though. I didn't exactly cover all I could.

Also the way it hides the mimic as a trump card right before showing seemingly harmless first and second entries... and then mimic being the third out of seven presented had me going "it gets worse?!", and I love that there's variety to it.

@@zeuni866 Yes! I was constantly bothered by the anachronisms. Nothing feels like it's actually from the '80s. I really enjoyed parts of this but the technical shortcomings can spoil the fun sometimes. Pro tip for aspiring horror creators: if you have a costume or prop that looks silly, have it onscreen as little as possible. Shaky cam, blur, static, do whatever you can to obscure it and it'll be way scarier. Spielberg did it for Jaws and it's a technique that still works today.

i think the critters are humans. they give food to the prince in a time of famine, and then the prince helped them get food. the 1930s were the time of the american dust bowl, yielding massive dust storms that destroyed crop fields across america. this caused a food shortage that contributed to the great depression. in the mid 1930s, vita carnis first appeared, and the crawl just so happened to be the perfect fertilizer.

The critters may represent fauna in general and the Prince might have been able to communicate with any animal, or the critters DO represent humans and the off-shoot that fed the Prince were the cultists. I'm kind of leaning towards the latter since it was made into a storybook and humans tend to exaggerate when it comes to food shortages and overpopulation and it seems like the flavor enhancer is meant to "solve" food shortages by making the simplest of food taste better.

I appreciate how the uncanniness of the mimic puppet is used to an effect of how creepy they are. Its similar to how Mandela Catalogue uses its uncanniness to emphasize how horrifically inhuman its mimics are.
