Bo Wyatt Theory (SPOILERS)

[Thaddeus]

So, it occurs to me that, even compared to the somewhat wonky proportions characters can have in LISA, Bo is strangely tall and thin. Considering the twisted mess his brother ended up, maybe the two were joyheads? It could stand to reason that Bo started to get suspicious of the drug's side effects and stopped, urging Henry to do the same. Bo, as it turned out, stopped just in time, only suffering a minor mutation lengthening his neck.

Henry, however, didn't heed his brother's warnings, and after a heated argument between the two, Henry stormed off and took the record with him. Still angry, and not interested in following him, Bo went off on his own, eventually coming to lament not trying to stop him, drowning his sorrows at the bar in the swamp. Meanwhile, Henry continued to take Joy, almost purely in spite of his brother, leading to him becoming the ropey monster we encounter in the game.

It's just a theory, but I thought it was interesting enough of an idea to share.

that is likely

[ModdedPan]

It's likely.

[Lucky Kharms]

Yeah, it's likely. I will say though that I assumed he didn't get minorly affected, as much as he's just in the middle of transforming. As far as we know if you stop taking Joy that doesn't necessarily mean you stop your transformation.

Interesting theory. I took this to the lab, and dug through the sprites, and the roulette sprites are pretty interesting.

I chose Geese because he has similar proportions, but it turns out, he's actually quite short and the geese head has quite a bit of empty space. Bo on the other hand, actually sees through his mask. His limbs also appear much longer.

Still, He's sitting down, so it's hard to get his proportions right. I estimate he'd be around Ajeet's height, and has a similar build, only much lankier.

Geese uses the power of rhymes to see through his mask.

@Lomoth That thought definitely occured to me, but if he's gotten to the point where the transformation was already in progress, I don't feel like he'd still be as lucid as he comes off as. But who knows? There are still a lot of things we don't understand about Joy.

Also, looking at those sprites for the Roulette, not only are his arms /really/ long, they're also a color similar to his helmet. What's that all about? Is he wearing some sort of full body suit or something? Maybe something to slow or halt the transformation? Otherwise there's an implication something entirely different might be going on with Bo.

[macmc]

I assumed it was in the fashion of old school scuba gear, a suit that matches the helmet along with gloves, both of which Bo has. I don't think it's his skin color, but I could be wrong.

[Thaddeus]

I suppose, but usually, the helmet piece is the same color as the gloves in most traditional Diving Suits. It's just kind of odd. Either way, that thing must have some long sleeves if it's a suit.

[Suzuran]

According to the LISA wiki and the game itself, few doses are needed for mutant to happen, meaning if they were both joyheads Bo would suffer full mutation and turn the swamp bar into a swamp bloodbath.
