So, I've been thinking awhile, and I've seen quite a few other things that could possibly support my theory(of course, it depends on what you consider canon). I think that feelings, thoughts, and memories had a large impact on the creation of the Backrooms, and some of the entities, objects, and phenomena within. Look at the Pantheon canon, for instance. Many of the beings are symbolic of feelings. What if, when the first feelings of happiness, creativity, etc., had a part in their creation? Addressing the Levels, many of them appear to model something you can see in the front rooms. Perhaps when multiple people first entered the Backrooms, they were looking for something they had seen before, but due to the nature of the unstable environment, it was changed a bit. The familiar yellow wallpaper and fluorescent lights? It could have come from multiple memories of an office building. Perhaps it was the combined memories of different office buildings. Then the objects could have come from twisted memories of objects we see in the frontrooms. Entities could be explained the same. Some entities could have been made dangerous because when humans first saw them, they were afraid, so their thoughts affected how the entities acted. I know this isn't exactly the essay some people write, but I'm not taking the time to pull evidence directly from different articles or explain myself much more. Please tell me what you think.
Just a high schooler who thinks he is good at writing. Likes working on a lot of stuff, ranging from writing for the Backrooms Wiki, to providing critique, and reading. ~ Pen.
