Autobiography of Jung in 1910:

I can still recall vividly how Freud said to me, "My dear Jung, promise me never to abandon the sexual theory. That is the most essential thing of all. You see, we must make a dogma of it, an unshakable bulwark." He said that to me with some emotion, in the tone of a father saying, "And promise me one thing, my dear son: that you will go to the church every Sunday." In some astonishment I asked him, "A bulwark - against what?" To which the replied, "Against the black tide of mud" - and he hesitated for a moment, then added - "of occultism" ... What Freud seemed to mean by "occultism" was virtually everything that philosophy and religion, including the rising of contemporary science of parapsychology, had learned about the psyche.

Is this not amazing? The complete inability to imagine a religion that would not be obliterated by sexuality. The earnest plea to make sexual theory into Everything. Probably understandable if you consider how no one talked about sexuality beforehand and if it faded into obsurity it would suck balls.

Still hollering over how funny this is. But that's not all! Let's see what Jung has to say in the year 1907:

Wherever in a person or in a work of art, an expression of spirituality (in the intellectual, not the supernatural sense) came to light, he suspected it, and insinuated it was repressed sexuality. Anything that could not be directly interpreted as sexuality he referred to as "psychosexuality." I protested that this hypothesis, carried to its logical conclusion, would lead to an annihilating judgement upon culture. Culture would then appear as a mere farce, the morbid consequence of repressed sexuality. "Yes," he assented, "so it is, and that is just a curse of fate against which we are powerless to contend."

Where to start. Freud being the fucking insufferable friend who keeps searching for sex everywhere (and keeps fucking finding it). The implication that sex devalues the spirit and culture itself. Freud fucking AGREEING WITH IT. It's too funny.

Us: Everything is about sex! (joyful)

Freud: Everything is about sex. (haunted)

IM LOSING MY GODDAMN MIND THE STUPID NINTENDO ALARMO ON SPLATOON MODE HAS YOU WAKING UP TO FUCKING GUNSHOTS AND WHEN YOU GET OUT OF BED IT CELEBRATES WITH THE SOUND OF AN INKLING EXPLODING. WHAT?

Some of y'all trying to encourage empathy for these unethically wealthy people, who agreed to be bolted in to a metal tube, that was unapproved, unsafe and was controlled by a fucking off brand playstation controller from 2011 just for a cute lil death tourism trip is why we as a society will never be free.

They went to a part of the ocean that is so deep, more people have been to space than that far down. With a man who said safety shouldn't be a concern. Oceangate literally fired someone for saying that the window wasn't going to be able to withstand those depths. They'd lost another vessel before for 5 hours. Like plllsss the self preservation left the room. This whole situation is absurd.

Even this man's own stepson doesn't give a FUCK and you want me to? Nuh uh you have the wrong one I'm afraid😭😭

Varian has a thing for people who wear glasses (think megane). To him, a person's attractiveness goes up when they wear glasses because it helps frame people's faces so well. Sadly, when he tries wearing glasses himself, he just looks dorky, so he's low key jealous of people who pull them off so nicely. Instead, he wears goggles for their more practical use until maybe one day when eye glasses won't look so off on him.

He would rather die than admit this to Hugo.

Okay, so I'm not a Poppy Playtime fan by any means, I only know what is presented in the games, I don't know any of the hidden lore stuff or whtv. I thought the last two chapters were cool but severely lacking but man, Chapter 3 went legitimately hard. Particularly in the topic of today's discussion:

The Hour of Joy

It was pretty clear in the previous chapters that all the coworkers were dead but this one finally shows it and oh man was I hyped.

Throughout the chapter we get teasers to what happened, and I just tossed it all out cause I thought it was just generic horror stuff. Like the hallucination bit with the screaming in the lobby. I didn't bat an eye and just forgot about it till the end. But after watching another playthrough I was like "oh shit" and actually physically sat up in interest.

And then there's the VHS. Everything about that presentation was so cool to me. Firstly, we have the footage itself, which presents a terrifying tale. These random workers just going about another day at the factory. Standing around, talking with one another, all near what they presume to merely be a statue. And the unimaginable occurs. This statue, the same one they've walked past a thousand times pounces on one of the workers, tearing him apart in an instant before setting its sight on the rest. And he had it lucky.

Everybody begins to flee, screaming, begging, questioning. "What was that?" "What's happening?" And then long pink arms dart from the ceiling and pluck them from the ground. More toys converge on them, on workers deeper in the facility who don't even know what is happening. One particular man is converged upon by dozens of the teachers to meet god-knows-what fate.

And then we have Poppy's story. How she heard it all from the case. Could hear them scream, plead, and die. Her voice shaking, on the verge of tears even describing it. "It went on for so long. So, so horribly long." And the name in it of itself. "The Hour of Joy". A chilling title that really lets you know the toys' thoughts on the event.

TL;DR: Mob Entertainment, you did good on this one.

I will always think it's funny that some people are actually upset that Gortash isn't the "young handsome man" they thought he was gonna be based on the description of him in Act 1. Imagine getting catfished by a washed up Criss Angel wannabe and not seeing the beauty in it. That's peak comedy

911 twitter has somehow not even jokingly re-normalized one of the men in a gay relationship being treated as a woman but in a way that’s fancily worded enough that you’ll get shot dead if you point that out

LMAOOOO like yeah dgmw i love wifing/impregnating buck i'm not particularly invested in ensuring i'm doing everything As Progressively As Possible or escaping the strictures of heteropatriarchy in my fake 911 ship or whatever and i'm perfectly self-aware about that and don't claim to do so (i hope it comes across that i write them and analyze them as just some guys though). but there is something poetically obnoxious and also hilarious about trying to get all intellectual about the idea that a character who is a man is actually "politically" a woman In The Show. whatever that means. and that this is somehow a valuable analysis. can you just do fun headcanons and make fun of things in a normal way like the rest of us
