Welcome to Memory Matters, a new series meant to reconstruct memories into a timeline about media topics.

Today, I look into a creator I have watched for years, The Mysterious Mr Enter, his art of doing, and his amazing skill of hindsight. Let me know your thoughts!

This is a memory exercise for me as well, so let me know what I forgot or misremembered. And, please, be kind to one another both here and in the YouTube comments. The point of this series is to connect memories together and discuss memory issues, so the point is to go based on memory, emotion, and opinion.

Did anyone (crp/mansion/whatever) ever find out about Luis not so wholesome side? Does Jeff know? What are Luis not so wholesome moments? (List every crime he's done /j)

Devil in Disguise

Oh yeah! Some of them found out the hard way, some of them found out the more… vulnerable ways~

⚠️CW!!!: dr*gs, al¢•hol, addiction, a bit of NSFT at the VERY end.

This is gonna be broken up a bit and thus long asf!

As for the crimes: arson, mass murder, assault, battery, running from police, assaulting an officer, disorderly conduct, public indecency, and more~

Liu’s Modes of Not-So-Wholesomeness

Violence: pretty obvious, I think. He beats the shit outta people or kills em.

Destruction: breaking shit.

Verbal Aggression: he talks really sweetly for the most part… until it gets to this point, yk?

Isolation: he seems pretty social… until he’s ripping apart anyone who goes near him while he’s wanting to be alone

Sex: they can get rough when they’re mad

The Dungeon

They know. They know.

Liu did not go down easy when they were torturing him. So, they got a lil taste of what Liu can be like at times.

Of course he couldn’t do much until EJ, Jeff, and Toby got him out.

The Mansion

Only some of em found out before he lost his shit.

After Jeff dies, he loses it and sacks a nearby town and comes back with blood all over him, so at that point it was obvious.

Tim Seeing Destruction

Tim finds out trying to help Liu with addiction. He watches them get violent and break things when he’s getting withdrawals.

It’s shocking to say the least. He couldn’t do anything but watch them throw things-

Glassware, furniture, metal tools, and other things.

They punched and broke mirrors, walls, tables, and windows.

All he could do was just watch and try not to get caught in the middle.

Clockwork Getting Beaten

She just wanted to know what his deal was. He had randomly stormed off after trying to choke Wilson.

What had gotten into him?

When she found him, he ignored her. She kept pushing and their silence made her go insane.

She was about to say something else when he suddenly snaps in front of her.

His large hand is wrapped around her throat, threatening to snap her neck with a single press to his fingers.

He throws her against the rocks on the river bank just to grab her hair and do so much worse.

Of Course Jeff Knows!!

Who else is supposed to calm him down??

When EJ’s out and someone pushed Liu’s buttons just a bit too far, Jeff’s gotta handle it

He used to just listen to Liu when they would ask him to get a beer but… he won’t do it anymore.

It was bad before but, since trying to be sober, it’s even worse.

He’s even more out of control. He’s more violent and destructive.

When he would get drunk, drugged up, or high he was relaxed and chill- so he would usually use that… but Jeff refused to give it to him anymore.

He knew it would be hell, but he cared too much about Liu to let them do any more of it.

So, Jeff would let them use his punching bag (which they broke 3 times)

He’d let them go to the garage and break shit with him in there.

It eventually became sibling bonding

Eyeless Jack Being ‘Helpful’

It tried to calm Liu down, but Liu would release his stress in a uh- different way than EJ was thinking…

The main time Liu completely tops this demon is when he’s pissed beyond belief.

Liu is angry, and frustrated, they need an easy outlet

And Jack is more than willing to be that person he thinks it’s hot as hell when Liu gets all angry and dominant

Finished the chapter a couple days ago (we KNOW, we're super slow, but we've been reading these aloud to each other every other evening and couldn't wait to finish), and it's PHENOMENAL! The emotionssss! Augh!! It's such an intriguing way to "twist" Lotso's story, and the whole time they were learning about the time loop we were holding our breaths, and the tense scenes are written SO WELL! Of course, we love every little Toy Story reference, too.

We're immediately writing what Jol would think of the whole time loop thing 👀👀 Meanwhile, may we ask what happened with the first time Lotsie used his signature spell? Was he stuck, unable to get out? For how long?

BWAHHHHHHHHHHH TY OOOOOOMFS😭😭😭 IM SO GLAD PEOPLE LIKE MY LITTLE SHORT BOOK IT WAS. so fun to write despite the stress. And it was very fun to sprinkle in Toy Story references too LOL. Can’t wait to hear what Jol’s reaction is!!!!

Onto the actual question though. Requires context. I shall bring out explainer rev for this.

Lets clarify!

Caterpillar’s Playroom (CRP) works like a bunch of spells crammed into one super spell. Memory wiping, landscape reversion, space isolation, and time slowing.

How its supposed to work is that Lotsie traps someone in the loop and times it for a certain amount of time. Said time is then multiplied by an uncertain amount of numbers. (usually 10)

The problem comes when Lotsie is NOT meant to go in, because he will not know what the real amount of time is (landscape reversion) nor will he remember how long he's been inside (memory wipe), creating an unending loop.

As a result, Lotsie (or William in this case) failed to escape his own magic for about 60 years (making him about 79 now). While the spell did allow for small changes in a person's behavior and choices, all memories and physical evidence would return to their original forms, with William only escaping because the version in the last loop was one where he remembered to check the magic watch he had for emergencies and realized how much time had actually passed!

Grew up in Northern California with Alex "Ajax" Johnson and Keegan Russ. After their enlisting, he lost track of them, and carried on his life with them in the back of his mind. However, when ODIN crashed and he was displaced, he wound up traveling with a group of U.S. Marines. A raid of their campsite ended in a prolonged stay for Jack with the Federation, in which he was subjected to many months of physical and mental torture, for lack of a better word. His inevitable rescue by Task Force: STALKER was welcomed with open arms, and while it took Keegan some time to adjust to having his "dead" friend back, he too saw this as a once in a lifetime miracle. The time lost amounted to twenty years, but who was counting anyways? With the right person, it's easy to pick back up.

[jeseraitoi]

im. so curious to know what the tests would be? (from this post)

Oh my god I love this question!!

Evan is someone deeply curious about the human body. I always think about him having a sketchbook where he just... Draws limbs and hearts and whatever comes to his mind, people he loves and cares about with their guts opened. He's just curious and worried about anything that can happen.

When Barty showed up hurt by his father for the first time he lost his fucking mind. He's not to nurture but he is to protect and own, and for Barty he learns to be all of it.

So All the nine yards: complete blood count (cbc), basic metabolic panel (bmp), comprehensive metabolic panel (cmp), lipid panel, thyroid function tests (tfts), hemoglobin a1c (hba1c), c-reactive protein (crp), vitamin and mineral levels, urinalysis, microalbumin test, chest x-ray, abdominal ultrasound, bone density scan (dexa), electrocardiogram (ecg/ekg), echocardiogram, stress test, prostate-specific antigen (psa) test, colonoscopy, fecal occult blood test (fobt), hiv test, hepatitis panel (a, b, c), sexually transmitted infection (sti) tests, lung function tests (spirometry), vision test, hearing test, electrolyte panel, dental x-rays (bitewing, panoramic, or periapical), oral examination (teeth, gums, and soft tissues), periodontal probing (gum health assessment), plaque and tartar check, tooth decay (cavity) detection, occlusion (bite) analysis, oral cancer screening, salivary testing (bacteria or ph levels), tmj (temporomandibular joint) evaluation, fluoride level testing

As I said, ALL the nine yards

At first Barty thinks it's a little over the top, I mean, he wasnt sick, beaten up and with a serious history of child neglect, yes, but he's more than happy to do anything Evie tells him to. He wants him to lay down and stay still? Got it. Run like a lab rat? Consider it done. Get his blood draw? Barty's already rolling his sleeve. But somewhere in the middle of it he just felt so... Looked out for. He's pretty sure no one would care with him as much to lose time doing something like this. And Evie personally is the responsible for all his tests. All of them. He never lets Barty alone and even though it hurts and his bedside manners are the worst, Barty feels his heat warm.

Also, it turn them both on, for different reasons but it does, which might be as well just what they need. And it kind of becomes routine, every few months Evan decides it's time enough and picks some of the tests to re-do.

But I love to imagine Evan laying in bed like a teenage girl writing all the results with drawings and notes, happy like a puppy.

Im not sure if this was what you were looking out for when you asked but I hope I could answer it nicely, loved your profile :))

[skinwalker-bratz]

My blog is pretty dead recently, so I'll bring some random CRP headcannons:

No, just because they are killers doesn't mean they don't have tastes, hobbies and do normal human things. Even though they lost their humanity, they were once human and never stopped being so.

Most proxies hate Slenderman. He literally destroyed their lives and they have no choice but to obey or die. Except for the ones who follow him by choice.

EJ can eat the whole human body if he wanted, but he chooses to eat the kidneys because it won't cause much harm since despite him becoming a monster, there is still a trace of humanity in him.

The government in the universe of creepypastas has involvement with them, since there is no police or military service competent enough to catch the killers. What is just weird.

There are anomalies, killers and entities who haven't been catalogued before, these are the unknown creepypastas.

These things known as "creepypastas" have existed even before humanity itself. And throughout human history they were treated as monster legends that our ancestors told around the campfire.

Not all of creepypastas have to be necessary evil and sadistic.

The same way we make jokes about the quiet kid that have the chance to make a massacre in the school some day, the kids in creepypasta universe makes jokes about the quiet kid end up being a proxy or serial killer like toby.

People in that universe have tips to detect some red flags that indicate an anomaly or killer in case you end up in a relationship with them.

Not all killers look scary or have an appearance that shows that they are a killer, most of them look very friendly and humanly.

The parents in this universe teaches their kids to never trust clowns or anyone that is too friendly to them.

Ppl in creepypasta universe are more aggressive than here, because they literally live in a world with strange entities, super killers and monsters, they always have a gun or at least know a fighting tip. They also have trust issues.

This world is worse to live than here because you have to deal with the stress of life and have the thought that you or a loved one can be brutally murdered at any time.

🧸🫂 for Charlie? And 🦾😶 for any character really

Headcanon ask game! (still accepting!)

🧸 A headcanon about their childhood (Charlie)

Okay, I'm going to do two because the thought of baby Charlie is just sooooo adorable and I can't stop thinking about it. So here we go!

a. I know that Charlie in canon plays basketball (for fun, with Deana and the President and such) but Charlie absolutely played t-ball as a kid. He absolutely had a little hat (that was still way too big) and an Easton aluminum bat that he liked to peel the rubber off of. Sometimes he'd get too hot or tired and just sit down in the middle of the field. Of course as soon as a ball was hit, he'd get up and start sprinting his little legs off, trying to get it. And he ATE UP the orange slices the parents brought for them to eat after games.

b. Charlie's a pretty regular sized guy as an adult, but I feel like he grew up just...tiny. He had a growth spurt in late middle school/early high school and just shot up out of nowhere. But before that? He was tiiiiiny. He could always sneak up on people and his backpack always looked so huge on him. He was incredibly pleased when he finally started to grow, though his mom had her own thoughts on it. Her baby boy grew up :(

🫂 A friendship headcanon (Charlie)

Okay, you know a friendship that's underrated in TWW? TOBY AND CHARLIE!

They don't interact all that often, but I headcanon that they're closer in reality (in their world) than we as the viewer get to see. The way Charlie's just chilling in Toby's office when they have the conversation about Toby's salad. The way they sit together on the plane when Toby's drunk (and singing Suicide is Painless, my beloved). I just feel like they're friends at least in SOME regard. Toby's got a soft spot for Charlie.

🦾 A disability headcanon (Toby)

I was originally going to take this time to talk about my baby girl Joey Lucas, but instead I want to take this time to highlight something that's overlooked IRL, in fiction, and in fandom spaces! Chronic pain (especially when it comes with an invisible disability).

It's incredibly easy for me to see Toby as someone suffering from chronic pain + an invisible disability. I'm a person with a lot of health issues and when they're at their worst, I admittedly can get angry and sullen and more pessimistic than I normally am. I think the same could be said for Toby. Dealing with some sort of constant pain (whether it's from something like CRPS or myofascial pain syndrome or whatever!) on top of all the stress and workload would be insanely hard. He's managing, he's surviving, he's doing amazing work when it comes to speechwriting, but he's suffering. It's hard to be optimistic and nice and sweet when everything hurts. But it's hard to get help. Especially when doctors and people aren't inclined to listen. When it comes off as a weakness to admit that you might be hurt, that you might be disabled. So it's easier for him to bottle it up and keep it inside and instead settle into this reputation as a grump.

😶 A random headcanon! (Sam)

Because I'm me and because it's not talked about enough, I'm doing ANOTHER disability headcanon.

Sam and Ainsley have a disabled son. When I think about it specifically, it's cerebral palsy (spastic hemiplegia if we want to be Really specific). I can't explain why I believe this and it's not based in canon, but I just envision it? And...it's not a huge thing for them? It doesn't stop them from having more kids. They don't see themselves as parents that have been victimized by some cruel disease. Their son has cerebral palsy and that's just a fact about him, like the fact that he has blue eyes and brown hair. They have to make modifications so that he can more easily move around their house, but that's fine. They have to have conversations with his school and handle some unfortunate ableism on that front, but that's fine (not the ableism, but the dealing with it part). That's just part of being a parent. They love their son. They love him as he is and they support him in getting whatever accommodations he needs to make his life just as easy as everyone else's is.

Story at-a-glance

Chronic inflammation drives diseases like heart disease, Alzheimer’s, cancer, and autoimmune conditions. However, standard tests only measure generalized inflammation and does not pinpoint the exact tissues affected

Researchers at Case Western Reserve University have developed a new method to track inflammation at its source using antibodies that detect molecular markers left by reactive oxygen species (ROS)

Unlike traditional markers like C-reactive protein (CRP), this new approach could allow doctors to identify specific organs under inflammatory stress, leading to earlier and more precise diagnoses

Emerging research challenges the idea that chronic inflammation is just unresolved acute inflammation. Researchers suggest it results from a lack of anti-inflammatory mediators, not just excessive inflammatory signaling

Key drivers of chronic inflammation include excess linoleic acid (LA), endocrine-disrupting chemicals, endotoxins, and electromagnetic fields (EMFs)

Why Your Brain Deserves More Attention Than Your Mental Health

Core Premise

The book argues that society’s narrow focus on mental health (thoughts, emotions, behaviors) overlooks the physical brain driving them. Just as a car’s performance depends on its engine—not just the driver’s skills—your mental well-being is rooted in biological brain health.

Key Themes

The Brain-Mental Health Distinction

Mental health: Psychological/emotional state (e.g., anxiety, depression).

Brain health: The organ’s biological condition (blood flow, inflammation, neuroplasticity).

Analogy: Mental health is like software; brain health is the hardware it runs on.

Why the Difference Matters

Many "mental health" struggles (brain fog, mood swings, fatigue) stem from undiagnosed physical brain issues:

Nutrient deficiencies (B12, Omega-3s)

Chronic inflammation

Poor sleep or oxygen flow

Gut microbiome imbalances

Example: A 2022 Nature study linked 40% of depression cases to measurable brain inflammation.

The Limits of "Mental Health Only" Care

Therapy and medication often fail when underlying brain biology is ignored.

Case studies show improvements when combining:

Traditional mental health care (therapy, mindfulness)

Brain health fixes (sleep optimization, targeted nutrition, vascular health).

Actionable Brain Care Framework The book outlines 5 Pillars of Brain Health:

Fuel: Nutrition for neuron repair (e.g., Mediterranean diet, key supplements).

Flow: Exercise and blood circulation to boost oxygen/nutrient delivery.

Rest: Sleep’s role in "neural housekeeping" and memory consolidation.

Challenge: Novelty and learning to strengthen neuroplasticity.

Connection: Social bonds that reduce inflammation and stress.

Science Highlights

Neurogenesis: The brain can grow new cells (contrary to old myths).

The Gut-Brain Axis: 90% of serotonin is made in the gut—not the brain.

Vascular Health: Poor circulation starves neurons, accelerating cognitive decline.

Inflammation-Depression Link: CRP (an inflammation marker) predicts depression risk.

Target Audience

People frustrated by incomplete mental health solutions.

Wellness enthusiasts who want evidence-based brain optimization.

Professionals battling burnout/brain fog (entrepreneurs, creatives, knowledge workers).

Caregivers or aging adults focused on cognitive longevity.

Unique Angles

Myth-Busting: Challenges "it’s all in your head" stigma with hard biology.

Practical Over Preachy: Focuses on small, sustainable upgrades vs. extreme biohacking.

Holistic Integration: Bridges gaps between neuroscience, nutrition, and psychology.

Why This Message Matters Now

Mental health crises are rising, yet root causes are often physical.

Brain health is preventable medicine: Alzheimer’s, dementia, and mood disorders begin decades before symptoms.

Empowerment: Readers learn to advocate for overlooked tests (e.g., micronutrient panels, sleep studies).

Comparable Titles

The End of Mental Illness (Dr. Daniel Amen) – Brain scans meet psychiatry.

Brain Energy (Dr. Christopher Palmer) – Metabolic theory of mental health.

Why We Sleep (Matthew Walker) – Sleep’s role in brain function.

Difference: This book is less clinical, more focused on actionable self-care for non-scientists.

Talking Points for Promotion

"Your brain is the only organ we expect to function perfectly while mistreating it."

"Therapy won’t fix a B12 deficiency. Meditation can’t undo sleep apnea."

"Mental health starts with brain health—here’s how to upgrade both."

Would you like additional details on any section (e.g., studies to cite, chapter outlines)?

now quotes

Here are 15 powerful quotes from "Why Your Brain Deserves More Attention Than Your Mental Health" that capture its core message:

Hard-Hitting Truths

"Your brain is the only organ we expect to function perfectly while chronically mistreating it."

"Therapy can’t fix a vitamin deficiency. Meditation won’t undo sleep apnea. Mindfulness can’t regrow neurons starved of oxygen."

"We’ve medicalized mental health while ignoring the medical organ that creates it."

Science-Driven Insights

"90% of your serotonin isn’t made in your brain—it’s manufactured in your gut by bacteria you’re probably starving."

"Alzheimer’s doesn’t start at 65. It starts in the 40-year-old brain you’re neglecting today."

"Chronic inflammation isn’t just bad for your joints—it’s frying your neurons like an electrical short circuit."

Empowerment & Action

"Brain health is the ultimate act of self-respect: you’re either building your cognitive future or bankrupting it."

"You wouldn’t put diesel fuel in a Ferrari. Why are you feeding your brain junk food and expecting peak performance?"

"Sleep isn’t lazy. It’s when your brain does its most sophisticated engineering work."

Provocative Challenges

"If your brain were a car, you’ve been ignoring the ‘check engine’ light for years—then wondering why it won’t drive smoothly."

"We spend more time researching smartphones than the organ that lets us use them."

"Your brain doesn’t care about your excuses. It responds to oxygen, nutrients, and movement—whether you ‘feel like it’ or not."

Big-Picture Perspective

"Mental health isn’t separate from physical health—it’s the output of a three-pound biological supercomputer."

"You aren’t ‘aging’—you’re accumulating the consequences of how you’ve treated your brain."

"Optimizing your brain isn’t vanity. It’s the foundation of every dream, relationship, and memory you’ll ever have."

Invisible disabilities affect millions of people every day, yet because their challenges aren’t visible, they often face misunderstanding, stigma, and lack of support. These conditions, like chronic pain, mental health disorders, autoimmune diseases, and learning disabilities, can impact a person’s social life, career, and overall well-being in profound ways.

Living with an invisible disability can lead to:

• Social isolation due to judgment or disbelief

• Increased stress and mental health struggles

• Financial strain from medical costs and loss of income

• Difficulty managing everyday tasks or maintaining independence

• Strained relationships with family and friends who may not understand the struggles

These are just some of the invisible disabilities that individuals may experience. Each of these conditions may vary in severity and impact, but all share the challenge of not being immediately apparent to others. People with invisible disabilities may often feel misunderstood, stigmatised, or unsupported because their condition isn’t visible on the outside. Raising awareness and fostering compassion are key to supporting individuals with these conditions.

The image shows a bright orange background with white illustrations and text. At the top, the text says: “Some disabilities look like this,” followed by a row of icons representing various visible disabilities, such as individuals using crutches, wheelchairs, service animals, or walking aids.

Below, the text says: “Some look like this,” with a single icon of a person standing upright, symbolising invisible disabilities. The design emphasises the diversity of disabilities, including those that may not be immediately apparent.

Spring gardening w/ various crps

may do a similar prompt with some other fandoms i write for. i love spring because my tree sprouts a bunch of new leaves n stuff. but i also hate spring because, at least where i am, the weather seems to be at its worst. idk when this will post but we got hail last night and we might get hail tonight and tomorrow. i fucking hate it here characters: splendorman, laughing jack, ticci toby, jeff the killer notes: reader is gn, slender mansion au for fun, short and sweet, jeff does not fuck with gardening, the others kind of do to different degrees, written on cws: none

SPLENDORMAN

I like to think he has a flower garden somewhere- and even if hes not the best at gardening or plant care he wants to give you a hand! be it in your own backyard or somewhere only you know!

matching gardening wear- hats, gloves, apron... though his apron is.... too short for him... its hard to find one in his size!

on days where youre not feeling well enough to care for them he steps right up to make sure everything is taken care of- feeding, watering, general pest maintenance and pruning, stuff like that! growth takes time and hes always going to be there as backup when you need to maintain yourself first!

flowers are a must, always brightens some place up!

LAUGHING JACK

he doesnt get it... it takes soooooo long- and sure hes not the most impatient, but he much rather prefers something with faster- or preferably, instant- gratification... but that doesnt mean hes going to blow off your interest

that being said... in regards to actual plant care you might not want jack to be the one to help... he has a mindset of "more means better" so the risks of putting too much fertilizer or water is very much present- not good for the plants!

sometimes forgets you have a garden too, hes mentally all over the place- theres so much going on that sometimes the garden fades into the background...

he does help repot if needed, and dig holes up for the plants, saves you a lot of work and his claws make quick work

JEFF THE KILLER

he also goesnt much care for gardening... too much physical work, it takes forever to get a reward for it, and he generally doesnt get any fulfillment from it... he might not really help you with it

at most he might drag your potted plants under the porch or inside if they cant handle the weather outside, but even thats pushing it. theyre YOUR plants, so its YOUR responsibility

do not ask him to prune your plants, intentionally or not hes going to cut off way too much and stress out the plant. AND he uses his dirty ass knife to do it instead of the clean pruners youve prepared for him. "blade is blade" mentality.

if its a plant that gives in return (ex. food) and hes helped in some way- watering, pruning, moving ect hes going to take some credit for the product

TICCI TOBY

he actually does have some level of interest in plant stuff- not enough to turn it into a proper gardening hobby but he knows a thing or two about it! and hes soooo eager to impress you so obviously when you show interest hes going to get back into trying to learn more about it... even if he learns through observation and experimenting... that takes time...

i like to think he forages when he can, if he finds something cool you might want to integrate into your yard hes going to pass it off to you! sometimes brings you beneficial critters (spiders, mostly, can be great for pest control)... if he can get his hands on other beneficials he'll bring them- so long as it doesnt disturb the bug too much

will put in the work to help you tend to the plants- digging, carrying heavy stuff, repotting, pruning, so on- it gives him something to do, too... he... might actually need this more than you do

he likes sitting outside with the garden for a little bit when hes got the time to sit down and do nothing
