So, I don't know what's going on, but all of my plants look weird. There was also a really tall grass-looking plant growing in my Pinguicula pot, and a bunch of it.
(The Ping. later died.)
There was another weird plant growing in the Nepenthes pot(, which isthe first picture).

How much light are they getting? What's kind of media? How long has it been in that media? Have you checked the TDS?

No, they aren't dead, but they're very unhappy.
I second the questions above.
Also, is that a Nepenthes in the same pot as several flytraps and a sarracenia? The sarr and flytrap need dormancy, while the Nepenthes does not. You'll need to separate those.

They look etoliated and the traps look as if they have been fed too large prey whilst stressed possibly from repotting.
I don't know what the plant in the third picture is but it is not carnivorous.
I agree that the Nep should be in a separate pot due to differing conditions.
GIve them warmth and stronger lighting they should recover, peoviding your soul is right.
Cheers

They are in peat with a top layer of sphagnum.

I say repot in fresh media. Give full sun. And make sure the TDS in the media is below 40ppm

If you are growing the VFT and Sarracenia inside you're going to have a bad time. They are not houseplants.

Nepenthes can easily be grown inside however.
