thinking about how. in all the sludge of mascot horror games made just to sell merch and get big on youtube there’s one gem that’s a harrowing and horrifying story about a poor black family getting taken advantage of and exploited by a company who doesn’t even see them as human. about a little black girl who had her childhood taken away and wasn’t even allowed to be a little girl. about a black man who was likely killed by this company and then accused of “abandoning his daughter”. about a library and a neighborhood getting gentrified in the background.
and then people went and whitewashed her and said “i can draw her how i want”
#funtime speaks#yes this is about amanda the adventurer#i love this game so SO much and of course i’m not like#the person most qualified to speak on its themes. i am not black#but i am also not white#and oh my god the story it’s so obviously trying to tell !!!#i watched an FD signifier video today about bo burnhams inside#and about White Liberal Existential Art#and how like. when confronted with stories like this#with culture that isn’t theirs#with a character written to be a certain race on purpose with intention#white people don’t know how to handle it#most can’t fathom why making the little mermaid black is Fine but making amanda white is FUCKED UP#most people who do white roxy edits like literally cannot fathom that they are BEING RACIST#because they see whiteness as the DEFAULT#‘she looks like that in the comic’ she looks WHITE#and being WHITE is not important to her character because. notably. they are all aracial#so why is it an issue when she’s drawn as black?#the opposite is true for amanda#you can’t draw her as white or with less textured hair#because her story is INTRINSICALLY TIED with her being black#aaaaaaaaa#i have too many thoughts. about this

*through fat tears* yeah, I was thinking about the pandemic album again…….take note of what will be gone in the blink of an eye……..
#im so fucking normal about this fucking album#i wish I had listened when it first came out#it makes me feel the way bo burnham’s inside makes me feel#the pain of not being able to see the people I loved#i remember the lonely lonely days#it was so lonely#the horror and sadness of so much death everywhere#the hope you stake your life on#i am horrified to have lived through this histpry#but I am also grateful for what ive learned about humans#it will define my life in many ways#tmg#the mountain goats#songs for pierre chuvin#cryptic writings

just so y'all know inside (2021) and inside the outtakes (2022) still hits as hard as they did when they came out
#bo burnham captured the zeitgeist of 2020 like nobody else did#he doesn't say the word COVID once#and yet!#I think as the years went on watching them became worse somehow#to me at least#don't get me wrong: I regularly watch them#but bo burnham captured exactly what 2020-23 felt#especially 2020 2021 and 2022#I don't know#I'll always hold inside (2021) very close to my heart because it carried me through tough times#and then inside the outtakes (2022) came out and it felt like inside (2021) all over again#they work very well together but even better apart#I watched inside (2021) a couple of weeks ago and am watching inside the outtakes (2022) today#they hit hard watched back to back. they hit harder watched with certain distance. and they hit the hardest as we travel further from 2020.#I don't know if I'm using zeitgeist as the true meaning of the expression so forgive me#but inside (2021) and inside the outtakes (2022) are simultaneously different and equal works#I couldn't choose one or the other because they came to me at different times to different needs#I love them very much even if differently#but I love them both#I can open my heart and say that I needed them both#and rewatching is like being hugged by bo burnham#I feel very seen and loved and adored#I love bo burham#I have loved bo burnham for almost a decade now#from all his specials none hit as hard as inside (2021) and inside the outtakes (2022)#bo burnham#inside (2021)#inside the outtakes (2022)

in other news, i think i've finally!!!! planned out and fully decided on my first tattoo and will be scheduling her shortly
#for years i thought my first tattoo would be harry styles related which is wild to think abt now#then i thought i would get something inspired by one of bo burnham's specials bc they were also deeply impactful for me#but i could never come up with an idea honoring either of them that i felt confident about#and then. december of last year. i heard an album that truly changed my life#hypochondriac by brakence is an album i have played from front to back... too many times to count#and it's not a case of 'i wish i could listen to this for the first time again' bc every single song somehow still hits me the same#after an entire year of playing this record over and over again#and to me the tattoo i'm planning not only represents this music i love so so much#but about so many things in my life#bisexuality. handling anxiety. riding the line between the highest highs and lowest lows and finding a middle ground#ugh. i love brakence so much i'm so excited~#and i might get a skyrim tattoo later too hehehe

Ah fuck what is happening in my dnd campaign
#wacky watermelons#dnd#said with so so much love#and also tapping repeatedly on my dm's metaphorical car window while actively ignores me and tries to hit me with said car#this is just the top of a very very long speech#ill rb this with an additional part i feel like is specifically directed at me#im not gonna let my interpretation of the speech involve that assumption#mostly because if it doesn't mention my name or a fairly specific detail then as far as im concerned its not about me#but still its making me sick with excitement#also the fact that this happened while I was in class and nobody has said shit since#this sorta shit makes me feel like my brain is being run by two guys that are constantly trying to sabotage the other's plans#bo burnham was so fucking right about that singular thing that one time. dont quote me on anything else

The world is fucking disgusting
#i think a lot about ppl who grew up thinking the world and how it's organized is fundamentally good#to a degree this is still me bc I'm white I grew up suburban#but I always saw and hand understanding of both a. bad things from trauma and b. my mom taught me about systemic racism in like 4th grade#and we were poor and shit in a rich area so I was excluded a lot#like. inside bo burnham is a good example and I saw a YouTuber talk about this in a really interesting way can't remmeber his name#but he was saying like. there's a certain nihilism of white ppl who end up realizing things are bad when they didn't already#idk interesting topic I can't stop thinking about#bc it's the only way I have to explain how ppl are so godawful stupid and why it's so difficult to explain institutional issues#bc ur basically trying to tell them yeah the world is not actually good. and that's. a really big thing to change in someone's mind#that things are good is the root of a lot of miseducation and support for harmful structures#so much propaganda goes into convincing us that everything is good#and that nihilism that guy talked about. like yeah the world is disgusting but it's more. and that's why like#Angela Davis said it well that the revolution starts inside#and that self love and care and doing good things to a body unwanted by a bad world. that is rebellion that is revolution#so nihilistic white ppl who hate the world are still failing to see the point of counter action#that it's about love + goodness and that's the bedrock#and I find myself stuck there mental illness wise where I believe that you have to emphasize and bolster as much happiness and goodness#but it's fucking hard man#anyway. clearly I took an adderal#gotta take some ethics courses with intersectional lens I have no one to talk about this shit with#Palestine is really fucking me up like. all day I just imagine how many children have died#like what can I do. nothing. i can do nothing. and people who don't deserve it continue to live in terror#the average fucking age in Gaza is 18. they're all just kids like me and my brothers#it's not fair

Edit: I would like to add that this is EXACTLY what “country song” by Bo Burnham is about
The kids on TikTok think that just because he was a classic country singer, Johnny Cash was conservative??? My babies he covered a Nine Inch Nails song in his seventies.
Classic country singers (the majority of which came from poor roots) were always talking about how much The Man sucked because they were taking money from poor rural folk. You’re gonna tell me that’s conservative?? Get outta here.
#I love this#tbh I’ve only watched the movie about him#walk the line#I love it so much it’s really well made#I listen to his songs but this is making me wanna listen to them all#also dolly parton mentioned heyooo#btw I was talking about Jonny Cash in the tags#dunno if thats clear#country music#country song#bo burnham

all hidden messages in Tommy's new music video "The Internet's Getting Worse"
"If you find a corner of this world wide web that has any substance at all, then please stick to it. The hundreds of millions of people that now place absolutely no value on their time, their precious time, and spend it watching souless content designed to hold their attention is depressing. This all depressed me. There is so little substance in this mess of a world wide web, so little heart or soul or love. If you find any substance, stick to it."
"They want you to be angry-
Stop being angry."
"When I was a boy, alone, this meant everything to me. I found my people. My place. All along the way I was a part of something that really meant something. That is the only good bit of this. Whatever I did that meant something, that is the only good bit."
"A Tribute To Minecraft.
The Great Potato War.
The Original Ace's Q&A's.
Ludwig's 2020 streams.
SMPLive Talent Show.
This was everything to me."
"Status is irrational & nature is cynical"
"It's attention porn.
Don't get addicted to it.
It's nothing.
It means nothing."
"They are more insecure than you. But what the fuck do I know?"
"I can't watch back my old videos because everyone in them wasn't who they said they were. Do you know how sad this makes me feel. Do you know how sad I have felt all year."
"How could anyone possibly find out who they are when you are all immersed in this needless, self indulgent spiral of instant gratification and distraction. This is not good for you."
"the poor 12 year old watching this sad ass video when he subscribed for funny minecraft videos. poor guy lmao."
"I don't think I trust anyone here. I don't think anyone trusts anyone here."
"Yeah, I know it's too much like bo burnham. it won't be in a year though. In a year it will be like Tom Simons. Just let me figure out what that means, OK?"
"I used to feel like I was doing everything wrong. That I just wasn't smart or good like any of my friends. I realise now I was the only one doing the right thing. I just wanted to have fun. What I'd do to get that back, my god. What I'd do. To have things be simple again."
"I just don't want to slip back to who I was. A year ago I needed you. A year ago most of my self esteem and worth came from you. A year ago I wasn't happy unless you were. I don't think I can ever do that again. That was really wrong. How did I possibly end up there?"

Her staff are fucking useless
How hard is it to say "No, Elena, you're a wonderful person and you deserve to live"?!
Putting more thoughts under a read more for spoilers, triggering content and some parts being written in all-caps
Jesus fucking Christ, not one staff member said a THING (most likely thinking Elena was just being dramatic) and then next thing you know Elena's gotten to the point of being so distressed that she's slitting her wrists
I don't swear a lot and I'm not an aggressive person
until a fictional character messes with one of my beloved fictional characters that I relate to a concerning amount (I remember watching that scene where Elena's got all her anxiety meds and being like "game recognises game" lmaooo) and then I'm coming up with a plethora of curse words
When I watched that scene where Mr Laskin was psychologically torturing Elena, I was sitting in between my mum and my grandfather
so while I wanted to start yelling at Mr Laskin, instead I had to sit there aggressively mouthing, "YOU MOTHERFUCKING ABLEIST AGEIST PRICK! I HOPE YOU DIE A SLOW AND PAINFUL DEATH AND SPEND ETERNITY ROTTING IN A BLACK-MOULD-FILLED HELL FOR WHAT YOU'VE DONE TO ELENA!"
Elena's not going to a black-mould-filled Hell, she's Heaven sent
I hope y'all read those paragraphs like this meme:
My mum had to point out to me that the words "black mould danger" were written on the canister in what looks like Sharpie
like sorry I missed the important details, I was too busy THINKING ELENA WAS GONNA DIE IN THE WAY SHE'D ALWAYS FEARED
I mean, if I was gonna be forced to breathe in black mould from a canister, I wouldn't be paying too much attention to what the font style was like, I'd be focusing on the word DANGER written in big black letters
to be read in the voice of the robot from Lost In Space: DANGER, Will Robinson Elena Vernham, DANGER
My mum also informed me that it is very unlikely that you can contain mould in a canister and I said, "What if you put a mouldy orange or something inside the canister?" and she went
The Regime “All Ye Faithful” (S01.E05)
#wish chancellor elena vernham was real; i'd protect her so much#i am the most loyal; honest person and elena needs someone like that#also wish i was in her age range#we'd be so good for each other (weird flex but okay)#like she'd teach me how to have confidence and i'd teach her how to chill#ep 4 pun unintended#really unusual and specific brag but my fanning technique is better than agnes'#agnes looked like she was trying to flick a spider off the end of the fan#love her though#rip agnes; you would've loved bo burnham's song unpaid intern#the regime#chancellor elena vernham#elena vernham#agnes the regime#i'm sure agnes has a surname; i just don't know what it is#it was probably said while elena was being iconic so i missed it completely#the briefings SHOULD be briefer#like i bet they were important; i just don't care for them#'cause to me they're like:#“blah blah someone insults the chancellor; blah blah politics; blah blah your actions have consequences elena”#(to be read in the style of that how i met your mother “blah blah something about a bridge” scene)

HELLO!!
could you please write something abt roadtripping with charlie bushnell?
I LOVE YOUR WRITING💥💥💥
hey!! and yeah of course! ; and thank you so much, I appreciate it a lot 🫶🫶 ; thank you for requesting, hope you enjoy! ; I put this in a hc format bc I could not make this a oneshot lmfaoooo
CHARLIE BUSHNELL ; roadtripping
summary ; what it's like to roadtrip with charlie
warnings ; language, a joke at republicans
word count ; 370
masterlist
you usually switch around who's driving every couple hours to keep it fair
but he's usually the one who drives first
you're usually staring out the window, jamming to music, and taking pictures of cool/pretty views
you put on 365, good luck babe, popular dance pop songs when you have aux
he puts on more like singalong type songs, like zach brian, bo burnham, yk??
it's either that or like rap / hip hop
like my girl megan, yeat, ian, joey valance & brae, etc etc
you're vibing the whole way to your next location unless one of you / both of you are safely asleep
he goes off on tangents about nature and random shit he just magically knows
and you listen
then rant about music or books or whatever fandoms you're in or some crack ass fanfic you discovered at 3am
he's a calm driver
but if it's really dark or storming and he can't see in front of him, he's literally hunched over the wheel panicking
he often stops at gas stations every couple hours to get snacks and for bathroom breaks
he gets you a little stuffed animal and your fav snacks if you want them as well
he's got a ton of travel mags in his dashboard thing (the drawer thing I forget what it's called gang)
you flip through them a lot
"ooo woah that's so pretty"
"it is"
"wow, that's insane, holy shit"
"midwest core"
"bye it looks like republicans for miles"
you often play tag in parking lots when stretching your legs, the radio blasting cute songs (slow dancing in a parking lot by jordan davis, detour by maren morris, etc)
when you're asleep in the passengers seat, he'll often rest a hand on your thigh or over your hand on the console
sometimes he stops to drape a blanket over you if you haven't already
when he's asleep, you often hold his hand with the other on the wheel, or hum him to sleep absentmindedly cause you were focusing on the road and enjoying the music
you often take videos of each other doing funny shit, saying funny shit, etc
you've got albumsss of snaps in the car and pics of each other w dumb filters
