#cherish this time where you're (hopefully) allowed to focus on learning and improving yourself

[oh-bo]

Okay so there's a few so if they're are any unanswerable ones just do . or sthg maybe if that's alright?

1. How much of Inside do you think was true to bo and how much was acting? (Cos I'm doing a speech thing for English gcse which can be on anything so I'm doing this hehehe and I said it was the last tiny bit where he's watching himself outside and smiling because he was doomed to make the art and doomed to enjoy the performance (I've watched too many analysis videos lol) but I wanna see other opinions)

2. How the hell is one supposed to be in a Bo burnham fandom if by doing so we're the ones he's making fun of?

3. Juxtaposing question but what's the fandom, like what's... here, what's the vibe, all that

4. Is he in therapy (I feel like someone running a bo burnham blog would know lol)

Tysm <3 sorry if it's a lot

i'm hardly an authority, but i'll answer these to the best of my ability

1. i think it's a performance, borrowing from some real experience, as most creative endeavors do (writing, acting, etc). bo is meticulous and granular in all that he does, and we didn't see anything that he didn't want us to. if some scenes seem too genuine to be an act, well, that's just incredible writing, acting, and producing on his part. he's simply genius, intellectually and emotionally.

one thing my bestie and i agree on is this being a completely genuine bo moment:

2. anyone can do anything. i personally welcome him mocking me.

3. i can't speak for the whole community, but everyone i've met here on tumblr.gov is lovely. we have many talented writers, fan artists, and gif makers, and they're Great Humans to boot. the vibe is frankly unhinged; we're just obsessed with one (1) man. to summarize: friendly and feral.

4. i don't think his medical care is or needs to be public knowledge so i personally don't care to know. i appreciate how open he has been with his mental health struggles as that kind of representation/awareness is important. that said, he's said in many interviews that he's not (but who knows, it's really his prerogative what he is honest about and what he isn't).

please don't apologize, you're doing amazing, sweetie. ::boops ur nose::
