bitches will be like "this peice of media genuinely makes me sick. I am both mentally and physically unwell. it has done irreversible damage to me. I wish I can go back to before I even found out about it." and then recommended it to a good friend with a big smile on their face like it's the best thing ever created.

its me. I do this. and it IS the best thing ever created.

3D Workers Island by Tony Domenico

[axeylotl]

JUST FINISHED 3D WORKER ISLAND. no spoilers here tho

really obsessed with the way the vagueness of events on the island is created and handled. so many scenes where several, very contrasting/contradictory interpretations could be argued for, all of which would be elucidated with just some sounds, faces, or emoticon popups, but you don't get those, you only get to see what your single, foggy window vantage point can show you. you're on the other side of the street, in your comfy home. you can see their faces, you can't hear their voices.

being this vague can very easily make things, esp horror, boring or too confusing too get invested in, but the way you're still fed enough info to take guess as to which of two, a dozen, or more possibilities may be happening makes it so compelling

Another Few Essay Ideas

Seeing how you guys enjoyed my last essay, it's really given me the spark to write more. So here is a small list of my ideas:

Race and 3D Workers Island: I do think Tony Domenico is being intentional with this. I'm going to hopefully show you how race plays a role in the story of Amber's abuse and on the perceptions of the workers that the forum posters have, especially with Grace.

Tomie and Margret Atwood: Tomie is the victim of her series, she undergoes the most abuse at the hands of men and she illustrates a concept that Margret Atwood came up with Victim positions, and I also want to look at how misogyny shapes Tomie's perception

Andrew Joseph White's novels (specifically Hell Followed With Us and The Spirit Bares It's Teeth) and how the medicalization of the trans condition makes us monsters.

Another essay focusing on White's most recent novel (Compound Fracture) and his second looking at the marking of Trans people in history, and how survival plays a role

A criticism of some tropes I've seen in analog horror.

rewatching a video about petscop. Thinking about Amber

[3dwi-scr]

why IS amber the subject of the abuse?

my girlfriend pointed out the fact that looking at the character sheet, we can clearly see the similarities between kids and parents

rebecca and joe have grace and share their obvious dark skin and hair features, while pat shares the pale skin and blonde hair with holland. amber distinctly stands out, having tanner skin and red-ish hair, but amber is clearly also pat's daughter since PL refers to her as such

(plus another instance of PL disliking/judging amber)

so, what happened?

i think the reason amber is the one to recieve all of the abuse is because amber is the result of an affair and very clearly so.

it solves the question of "if these are two sets of parents and kids, why are the two families living in the same house?"

i think, metaphorically, we are seeing a situation of abuse happening from the outside (it seems to be the biggest theme of the story, the witnessing of abuse from the outside and how we react to it) and so the island is occupied by the people involved. the two families live in the same house because of amber.

as a side note i also think the affair that resulted in amber happened between rebecca and pat. knowing tony's tendencies to play with gender (like paul = care being just a fact regardless of the interpretation people get at as to how that is like trans paul HC) i dont thinj the gender matters here, just the fact that amber might be a mixed race child and we see pat and rebecca interacting regularly

and also this

please get a room.
