| Boisvert (Web Animation) | comment |
Boisvert is an animated surreal web series created by artist Parker Boisvert. The story revolves around the titular character, who is an antler-headed person who suffers from mental illness and is struggling to control it so he can become the social fellow he wants to be. But he also has to fight various cryptic monsters that are trying to possess him.It is often up to debate about what every video means and what this series message is, though many have established it is centered around mental health. Some people also say that the videos of this series have some religious undertones; however, their meanings are not obvious. “Take Care� is the most famous video of all.The series began on May 23, 2020, and is available on Youtube. | |

Visible Silence | |
| Boisvert (Web Animation) / int_10e5b4f4 | comment |
Visible Silence: Whenever Dogtooth talks to someone, a dialogue box with multiple options shows up. His cursor always stays at "..." as the options change, and it is ambiguous if he's silent or stating all of those things at once. It's also implied that his canon name is "...", or "Ellipsis". | |

Stealth Pun | |
| Boisvert (Web Animation) / int_1e7c47ab | comment |
Stealth Pun: In "Take Care", Boisvert's daily routine involves "waking up at a reasonable hour". In a brief instant, Room appears at the window and the text becomes "wake up at a 11". It is indeed 11 at the morning, but the double meaning is that he's really saying "wake up at all". | |

Ambiguous Situation | |
| Boisvert (Web Animation) / int_1f6983f7 | comment |
Ambiguous Situation: It is unknown if this is all a figment of Boisvert's imagination due to being depressed during and after the lockdowns of the COVID-19 Pandemic or if these entities that he becomes are real. Given their paranormal nature, it’s left to your own interpretation. | |

Immediate Self-Contradiction | |
| Boisvert (Web Animation) / int_23330a99 | comment |
Immediate Self-Contradiction: In "Take Care", Boisvert states he's ignoring the "noises downstairs" while looking at the stairs leading to the basement. He then goes over to "stay productive" by drawing... Room in a piece of paper. The camera promptly rushes into Room at the basement as "ignoring the noises downstairs" fades from the screen. | |

Ironic Echo | |
| Boisvert (Web Animation) / int_237404cc | comment |
Ironic Echo: In "Burning", Boisvert despairs over being unable to work on anything and Room states he's "decaying" while "wreathed in flames". In "www.blind", Covenant echoes this metaphor, telling someone who's likely Boisvert that "all you've ever been is burning". However, he believes "it is nothing short of beautiful". | |

Bilingual Bonus Boisvert's name. Though a common surname, actually translates to “critical� in French. Defied. In “My Beloved� during Room’s dialogue, it shows the French word for fear, which is “Peur� before captioning it with “Love� instead. | |

Kill the Ones You Love | |
| Boisvert (Web Animation) / int_39684516 | comment |
Kill the Ones You Love: Dogtooth attempts to kill Room in order to deliver him from the Complex, but repeatedly states he loved Room and hated having to do it. The still living Room is tasked, for some reason, with "killing the Saint" and moves on to do so, using his arm to impale him during a Deadly Hug. Room then immediately collapses in despair for what he has done. | |

Cryptic Conversation | |
| Boisvert (Web Animation) / int_558f5da6 | comment |
Cryptic Conversation: The entire series is told through vague and mysterious dialogue, making it difficult to tell what exactly is happening. The one time a character directly tells viewers they won't be talking in riddles is to ask a philosophical question — when does a "complex" become a "home" and when does a "home" become a "complex"? | |

No Name Given: Characters like Room, The Complex and Covenant are clearly named as such at multiple points, while other characters are left unnamed. The antler-headed white man is never formally named, and is called "Boisvert" here after the series title for convenience's sake. "Dogtooth" is seemingly never named either, but is associated with the aliases "Ouriel", "Continue" and simply "...". | |

Not Quite Dead: Dogtooth assassinating Room is accompained by an eulogy by the author about what Room meant to his art and why he had to be killed, giving a sense that the character was truly dead. However, the Angel remarks to an angry Covenant that something is still around, watching. In "0", Room is revealed to be alive and in hiding, taking on a three-armed form that had been previously foreshadowed both in and out of the series. | |
