PLEASE like meatsleep/sewnkin is such an overlooked arg with many quirks hidden underneath.

Maybe I'm just a little schizo gremlin (good thing) that likes to go over mostly dead series more than one time to see all the details or maybe people just don't know how to appreciate things /hj

I'm gonna give a screenshot the list of some fun things I've noticed:

Reminder that "one character" means Meat or Sewnkin as its not specified who records which video cannonically.

I couldn't remember anything else about the story itself but i can provide some behind the scenes fun facts taken directly from the AMA. I'll probably post it separately sometime.

And now onto another thing.

When people say that you can't squeeze out a proper character out of these two guys, they are lying.

Not only is there the traditional way (letting your imagination run wild because YOU are the writer of the series) but there's also diving in deep, takin note of certain behaviours, taking in how they interact on twitter etc..

Just because they aren't like traditional characters, doesn't mean they don't exist.

They are more what I like to call "blank canvas characters". Where it's up for interpretation who they are. And I think it's a great creative outlet! /pos

I've always known human psychology well even if I'm not interested in it. I observe and take mental notes of humans. I could be a therapist, speaking honestly. But I just don't want to.

So yeah, that's why I am like this.

I like writing and am creative so that's why I have some meat AUs as well.

Now, I don't know what to exactly write about the two guys..

I have already mentioned that Sewnkin probably likes hanging around abandoned places, scaring people and just being a cryptid. Backed up by the tweet "Silent hill new Brunswick please find Sewnkin again"

Now, I don't know anything about silent hill (Both the games and the real life case, it could be referring to either but Dan Bell has a video about the irl one) so Meat could be comparing Sewnkin to a character/person or saying that Sewnkin is gone again and needs to be found. One of the rare moments where the uploader is known (in this case the tweet uploader is Meatsleep).

On a quick side note I want to say that the phrase "Meatsleep is Sewnkin and Sewkin is Meatsleep" refers to the non story wise fact that the same people are behind those channels (I say those because those two channels aren't, maybe 'weren't' because I'm not sure if they still exist, the only ones that exist/existed, I can't find how many but owlwithmoth and neuaryfirst are suspected to be by the creators as well, for the love of me I can't remember how the latter one is spelt). They have been known to say things about themselves but in a mysterious way like usual.

What puzzles me is the "prove the disciple" tweet cause as you saw in the screenshot I thought it was about how Meat is a disciple of Sewnkin but in the AMA they (creators) also say something about a kidney being sufficient. Makes me think maybe Meat gave Sewnkin a part of his body (kidney) to be taught by Sewnkin. Going great lengths. Or maybe it was a requirement (for those who don't know what sufficient means, it means "enough" or "adequate", aka a conversation I would imagine between them "What do I need Todo to be your disciple? What do I need to give?" "A kidney is adequate enough.")

And that's all I have for now. I'll edit in anything I forgot.

If anyone wants to talk to me personally about ARGs and analogue horrors please ask me for my discord account in the comment section.

Edit: yup I had to edit in seconds after uploading. I just wanna make a comparison and similarity- imagine FNaF. A developers last resort. But it accidentally blew up. It even made the horror game community have a reset. Having games trying to replicate it in order to achieve similar success. It has ups but its ultimate demise was when the series caused the creator to be cancelled and 'retired' from the series (not really imo lol), but it did bring great memories. Sounds familiar? Yep, same phenomenon with the meatsleep series. New concept in the arg community, original idea, amateur creators, last resort, cultural reset in the arg community, tons of copycats and unintentional copycats, harassment, giving up.. Both are different franchises but both had a similar outcome. Another instance of "humans destroy whats different and/or original".

Wonderful to once more have Doctor Who episodes with great writing and the most garbage CGI you have ever laid eyes on instead of the other way around. Feels like home

I know Ivan's sacrifice was more theatrical but let's not forget the OG. The lead up to Sua's death was quiet, which made it all the more gut wrenching. Sua kept Mizi in the dark about it, knowing it would be their final performance. It was their dream- or at the very least, it was Mizi's dream, to sing together on stage like that. So Sua sang her heart out, letting Mizi live this dream for only a moment. We did it! We made it! So it's okay! She makes Mizi shine, and falters only slightly to make sure she's the one to go. She smiles at Mizi one last time to tell her it's okay. But it's not okay, the happiest moment of her life will now be forever tainted with unspeakable grief. Mizi has been kept in the dark about the horrors of Alien Stage, and she was brutally awakened to it in an instant. And though this ultimately leaves her traumatized, she knows. She's more free by knowing. She's the rebel Mizi we know now because of Sua's sacrifice. Whatever revolution happens at the end of this story will be because of Sua's actions too. I think Ivan is wrong in saying that Sua's sacrifice will only leave Mizi trauma, she left a lot of good too. Sua's death is the real inciting incident, her sacrifice wasn't pointless, her life had meaning. She was Mizi's entire universe. She was God.

I hate that they gave Sam a stupid reason for hating Halloween (he embarrassed himself at a Halloween party) when his initial reason for hating Halloween, that his life FUCKING SUCKED was a much better reason

Like he had an alcoholic father that was lost in his grief and who didn’t try to make anything special for him and his brother never mind the holiday that happens 2 DAYSSSS before the anniversary of his wife’s death

Like he says it himself. He doesn’t care about Christmas or Halloween. He never trick or treated. They had kfc for Christmas. His first experience of a family holiday was with someone else’s family. No one ever cut the crusts of his sandwiches!!!!

Like dean sees Halloween and horror movies and dressing up as escapism. Halloween was probably his fav for the opportunity to escape his life for a night and get free treats that he wouldn’t usually get.

Sam sees holidays as depressing reminders of how shitty his life is 💯

(edit: it's called gamejacking)

Confusion Hill: The Inspiration for Gravity Falls

In 1930, The Oregon Vortex opened to tourists. The roadside attraction is located on Sardine Creek in Gold Hill, Oregon, in the United States. It consists of many interesting effects, which are gravity hill optical illusions. However, the attraction's proprietors propose this is the result of paranormal properties in the area.

Due to this, the place inspired the Disney channel series, Gravity Falls. Attractions include the House of Mystery, the Mountain Train Ride, the Gift Shop and the Shoe House.

I had this snippet of a recording off the TV but I can't remember what it was from?? Probably a history channel documentary. If anyone knows it was on some revised findings/recreations from the 70s about a statue that they didn't know about before. Pre-Roman I think.

what is it with horror movies made in 1980-1999 and being really fucking gay

nightmare's gang but they're one of those youtube family channels that extorts the kids. HEAR ME OUT HEAR ME OUT

i mean cmon man managing his multiversal takeover scheme must take a lot of money. nightmare needs a source of income. so what better than to torture and extort his gang even more. he makes them behave and act entertaining for the camera because if not they get beat and punished. he has cameras everywhere in the castle for content and to monitor everyone. people online are worried about the "kids" on the channel because they are CLEARLY being abused and exploited. nightmare gets a feast of negativity from these peoples' worries. now do i think that he would be cruel enough to force his gang to act like children for this channel?? i dunno,,,,,,,, perchance (YOU CAN'T JUST SAY PERCHANCE)

idk there's definitely a lot more than could be done with this stupid idea. but i just think,,,,,, i just think it would be funny,,,,, think about it,,,,,,,,,,
