Es, Milgram Project, & Freud's Psychoanalytical Theory

I'm going to preface this by saying,

1. I'm very poor at wording my thoughts, so please excuse me on that. 2. This is my first text post on here, so apologies if it sucks. 3. I'm in no way a professional in psychology, so I do apologize if I mix any information up. Do remember to always do your own research, but I will try my best to be accurate.

Freud's term for "ID" in German is "das Es". His other terms translations follow the "das ___" format. In psychoanalytical theory, as posed by Freud, ID is apart of the unconscious of our psyche. ID is our desires & instincts. It is the part of ourselves that is self-serving essentially. It's interesting how along with this, in Jackolope's "This is the MILGRAM", he tells Es "It's all right, just trust your instincts". He also tells Es throughout the series things like "don't hesitate" and "There's no need to think so much on making the judgement".

In this theory, Superego is our morals. It is mostly located in the preconscious of our psyche. It is our sense of right & wrong, it is the morals instilled in us. It's our ideals & instilled principles.

Lastly, we have Ego. Our Ego operates on a preconscious & conscious level. Ego is the mediator between the former two. For example, if we were to consider the prior two optimism & pessimism, Ego would be realism. It ensures our actions are realistic & optimal. It's our rationality, making sure our decisions are the best ones to take (for ourselves & others). Throughout Es's song Undercover, the chorus references Ego. This is with the lines "To know someone, to bind them in their EGO" & "Shouldn't you look beyond your EGO, before it all ends?". However, this could just be referring to the other type of Ego.

I'm unsure if this theory truly has anything to do with Milgram, or more specifically Es, but I do think it holds some sort of weight & I find the parallels interesting. I hope this is an interesting read & would love to hear thoughts on this🫶.

So, I recently learned that Summerween is catching on as a thing, and as a certified spooky gal and Gravity Falls fan I fully enjoy this.

So here's some thoughts I have on this and may start to implement if/when I get enough energy for it...

Summerween should and can be celebrated at any time during the summer. I get random slumps throughout the summer and know others do too, so it can be something to help with them.

Aesthetics should be different than those for Halloween. Halloween is about the transition from season of living and growing to season of harvest and dying. Summerween should have more focus on the living and bounty available in the summer, in my opinion. So like, more plant life, flowers, fruits that are in season for the summer, natural colors and pastels, stuff like that.

Bouncing off that, I'd say we should not put too much focus on pumpkins, but we can still have Jack'o'Lanterns since it's just using left over harvest as lanterns with faces carved in them for protection. Watermelons and pineapples obviously work well as a replacement!

Spiders probably can work for both Summerween and Halloween given they're actually alive and active in the summer with more species around, as well as being a good, go to symbol of death and decay given how abandoned houses and human built structures end up covered in them/cob webs. But other insects like moths and cicadas work just as well if not more so with Summerween given they're actually active in the season. (We should probably move those guys out of Halloween iconography, to be fair...)

A lot of witchy aesthetics could work with Summerween better than Halloween too. Like the swamp witch or forest witch aesthetics would work better given they seem to draw off more vibrant and living plant life than what's around in the Fall. Plus the fortune teller aesthetics work for any time of year, so those can be mixed in too.

More things I think work for excellent Summerween iconography are things like Bigfoot, Jackolopes, or other local cryptids. Less traditional big media monsters, more local entities that can be seen any time of year and are the kind you'd be worried about running into the woods when you were a kid.

Ghost stories are again any every time of year thing so throw in a bunch of those that you would swap around the fire at camp or at sleepovers!

Pastel colored skeletons just scream Summerween to me. I don't know why.

Songs and movies that somehow became associated with Halloween but don't really have anything to do with Halloween can/should be moved to Summerween instead! Songs like I Always Feel Like Somebody's Watching Me, Season of the Witch, Don't Fear the Reaper, Grim Grinning Ghosts (technically just about ghosts, not Halloween), even Thriller are good examples of some of these. Likewise, movies like Little Shop of Horrors, Beetlejuice, Coraline (takes place in Pacific Northwest summer before school I think), ParaNorman (late summer or early fall I think), Jaws, Nope, Evil Dead are just some examples I can think of.

Of course, things related to Gravity Falls can be mixed in based on how you feel. Same with the traditional Halloween iconography and aesthetics. But the above is mostly my thoughts on it, and may help me if/when I decide to throw a Summerween party.

maybe kaboodle being earth bunny as a tie in to kaboodle smp where she was of the overworld/earth? (look at me with my surface level kaboodle smp understanding</3) planetlord being air since hes like, cloud mayb? i feel like hannahrose would also be earth, since rose, and theres no plant, or light, bc of the popular fairy interpretations.

jumperwho bunny wild hare anddd air/earth? cause of her 1million jumps, i believe? either make her earth in core but put her in Air-coded situations or vice versa would be cool. in the most recent season(6?) there was stuff abt clownpierce using her sword "stick" so you could give her a stick that clown steals maybe. reddoons animal is hard, maybe a hunting/guard dog? hes very loyalty coded. id say give him light bc of said loyalty coding(and sundoons/moondoons stuff) and for weapon maybe give him like. broken bottle, depending on how unrealistic ur making the weapons.

zam also deserves to be light, i mean look at him. hes playing pacifist in a murder smp! very light coded, very sun coded. surrounded by dark tho, could put him in dark situations(like jumper) itzsubz and vitalasy would b dark together. vitalasy fox, subz a ram maybe? for the curled horns?

mm rekrap has been made as a jackolope, idk how mystical ur animals can be tho. branzy gives me frightened prey animal vibes, maybe a deer or a lop bunny, the type with floppy ears domestic lop bunny though, (i think kab would be just a domesticated bunny, maybe give her some sort of like. leg/foot weapon, like blades on the sides of her shoes or smth...)

So let’s say, hypothetically, I was making a Lifesteal magical girl au… what would their assigned elements (fire, water, earth, air, light, dark) and animals be? Also feel free to drop weapon ideas for each of them because I’m stumped !!

[jumping-jackalope]

wait i wanna hear about jackalopes....

the thing with jackolopes is the fake body came before the real myth.

with other cryptids people try to document them yeah? there are grainy photos of 'Bigfoot' that are disproven but constantly analyzed. the myth of Bigfoot relies on the creature as a missing link between other primates and humanity −  there's purpose and reason there but no proof.  

the mythical creature of the jackalope was created in the 1930s by the Herrick Brothers in Douglas, Wyoming. there is no contention of this origin story. it is blatantly acknowledged that these two dudes from Wyoming stuck deer antlers on a taxidermied jackrabbit, after a jackrabbit body fell a certain way into a shed pair of deer horns, and behold, the idea was born. the body was born.

they sold the first 'jackalope' to a guy who ran a hotel with a bar and patrons would stop in, ask about the creature, and soon the brothers were cranking out these taxidermied rabbits with deer antlers stuck on them, for a decent amount of cash.

there was no mystery here! no stories preceded this. no purpose. the jackalope was a fluke. and yet.

and yet people took to this creature. they knew this 'jackalope' wasn't real and created stories for the creature anyway. the jackalope can mimic human voices; the jackalope can harness thunder. a jackalope's milk has magical properties; a jackalope can be caught by offering them a drink of fine whiskey. 

imagine that someone handed you a rock. and they said this rock was very special. and you know that this rock is just a rock tapped to another rock but you find this Frankenstein rock so interesting that you go along with it and create stories about the rock. as a collective everyone in your town argues about the properties of this special rock, its likes and dislikes, its personality. and you say this rock is a real living being. and by believing, by telling stories of it, you make it so. 

that is what people did with jackalopes.

Mixed Ink AU shorts #1

"Top o' tha mornin' to ya! My name is Shawn Flynn, and today we're here because of somethin' the lovely Allison Pendle here found in Joey Drew's backroom! Allison would you like to tell us about this very special discovery?"

Allison looked to the video camera. "Am I on it? Am I in the right place?" She whispered to Shawn.

Shawn got up and checked. "Yep."

"Alright. So, first of all, I didn't find it, my boyfriend did. But no matter. What we found is a potion. If you mix it with ink and give it to two people within fifteen minutes of each other, they'll switch personalities. Now, Joey had the thing labeled as 'useless,' and I guess he's right. But he forgot one thing we could do with it. Shawn?"

"Use it on random people and watch what it does for own selfish entertainment while filming for prosperity!" Shawn yelled as he raised his arms, his voice full of mocking enthusiasm. A camera made him into an even bigger ham than usual.

"Alright. And you know who I think we should use it on first?"

"Who?"

"There's this little girl- a fellow voice actress named Susie Campbell. I've tried to make friends with her, but the girl is just so bitter about being recast that she can't bring herself to be anything but rude to me. I think we should switch her with someone a little angrier and see what happens."

"Like me?"

"Dude, you're the one using half his vacation days on this. Let's not risk you losing your nerve to film this just yet."

"Okay. Well, Joey definitely has anger issues," Shawn pouted, thinking about how he'd been screamed at for mispainting one lousy doll.

"Hmm... Not a bad idea, but Joey can usually keep his anger under wraps when it's good for him. Oh, idea! Let's swap me with someone more obnoxious so that I can really get her angry!"

Shawn snapped his fingers. "My good buddy Lacie knows just the guy."

--- "Welcome to the beautiful and uncharted territory of the Joey Drew Studios recording room. Here we can find a variety of luscious wildlife, such as the strange and pointy Sammy bird we see currently striding towards us."

"Hello, are you lost?" Sammy said in a far more polite tone than his face conveyed.

Shawn clicked off the video camera. "Nope. Here making an official, uh, documentary. Just as Joey Drew asked. We just need some footage of the voice actin' and music makin' and we'll be on our way."

"Alright, then. Just don't make noise where we're recording, okay?"

Shawn nodded. Sammy turned away, and Shawn started up the video camera again. "Truly magnificent creatures."

Shawn then endured what felt to him to be an absurdly long wait while the music room recorded gold. Whenever he could, Shawn would add in a quip about wild Jackolopes or the like, but mostly he was waiting for the moment when a break was called and Susie and Allison emerged. "The wild Susie is a jealous little bird, but this subspecies of Susie, the Joeyed Susie, is especially bitter. Let's watch as she observes the wild Bertrumed Allison's every move."

Allison was strutting around like she owned the place. "Mrs. Campbell, could you fetch me some water? The great Allison Pendle is thirsty." Allison was looking down on Susie like she was a servant, and Susie was gritting her teeth. She left grumbling.

"Ooh, I think we're about to see a show of dominance!" Shawn said.

Susie returned with a bottle of water and, with a fake smile on her face, tossed the bottle at Allison. It was uncapped, and it spilled all over her. "Oh, I'm sorry, Allie. You know a pal like me wouldn't do something like that on purpose. But you know, I'm just as clumsy out here as you are in the recording booth. I mean, as I am. Of course. That's what I meant," she said in a voice that made it clear that it wasn't.

Allison looked just puffed up with rage. "How dare you. I'll have you know that I was a distinguished model before this, and that is a kind of acting all on its own. You're pretty and talented enough, but standing next to me you look like you fell off a turnip truck and landed in proper society last week."

Everyone in the room gave them a little space. The girls were acting pretty weird, but they'd been expecting this to happen eventually. Shawn set the video camera on the floor- it took all his effort not to start laughing. Meanwhile, Susie was infuriated. She sprang on Allison, and the two were wrestling on the ground in seconds.

"Despite their tiny size," Shawn whispered, "Susies are savage." Indeed, she was- Allison, being the bigger and stronger of the two, quickly grabbed her shoulders and rolled her over onto her back, but Susie was still scratching her up with her claws. Allison smiled, knowing she was in the superior position.

Then, Joey burst in and immediately looked devastated. "Somebody separate them!" he yelled desperately. Norman came down from his recording booth and tore Allison off of Susie with relative ease. Joey looked distraught. "I wish I could say I was surprised. I knew that this was a long time coming, and I know this is partially my fault. We need to talk and work something out. You two, my office, first thing tomorrow morning. And please, try not to kill each other before then." Joey looked just about ready to cry.

---

The next clip took place in Shawn's apartment once again.

"Thank the Lord almighty that we were able to find an antidote," Shawn said, "or Susie and miss Allison here might justa' talked themselves out of their jobs."

Allison nodded. "I made sure she got some, too. Can't let this go too far. As for Joey, we think we'll leave him like this a while. He's nicer this way. And hey, maybe he'll come in handy for our plans tomorrow."

Im new here, any wierd one time gags that dont mean anything to what shreds of plot are left here?

There are no one time gags, there are only dead memes. At least until they get consumed by an ancient god we may not name. My origin story involves our lord and savior Doggo yeeting me into the void for writing Henrycest. Henry raised an eyebrow. “Oh please, let me say ONE thing-“ He leaned forward to the Anon. “Malcolm. No, I will not elaborate.” “We have a snoggo!” Old Sport called out excited. “Half snail half doggo! Very coot!” Jeremy piped up. “I once destroyed our plane of reality by breaking the fourth w-“ Instantly he was cut out by Phone Guy who held his mouth shut. “DO. NOT.” Slowly he let go of the scared Jeremy, then coughed. “Oh, uh- someone tried to seduce Music Man, I think.” “Funtime Freddy got a love letter that he still carries around!” Dave said, wiping a tear from his eyes. “Ah… they grow up so fast! But that ain’t a joke, that’s just straight up the love he deserves.” Nemo waved. “I exist!” Phone Guy chuckled. “Oh wait- yeah, me dating the pink jackolope girl that I went to high school with. Ridiculous, isn’t it? I, uh- haven’t seen her since then after all.” Mike gave him an irritated look “Wait what-“ “OH YEAH- uh- there was the kissing cult! A-also, I think I am a god?” “Can confirm.” Mike nodded. “Also, you married Nicolas Cage during a trip to vegas as far as I remember.” “E-excuse me?” Dave was back up “I can remember that too! Oh, also, remember when we put SCHLORPING on the list of forbidden acts? Also, buff puppet. AND, someone gave me BEAUTIFUL hair that I wish I still had-” Distraught Phone Guy rubbed his dial. “Everyone, please, uh- stop talking. I am scared we will remind the Anons of things…” Oh, oh, I have one. The fact that we have 827 post on this cursed blog? I think that’s a great one time gag. God help us all, why did you remind me of all of this. I wanted to forget.
