"Beautiful Soup, so rich and green,
Waiting in a hot tureen!
Who for such dainties would not stoop?
Soup of the evening, beautiful Soup!..."
(I started making memes).

Kagome Kagome / かごめかごめ #2
かごめかごめ
籠の中の鳥は いついつ出やる
夜明けの晩に 鶴と亀が滑った
後ろの正面だあれ?
The bird in the cage
When will it come out
In the night of dawn
The crane and turtle slipped
Who is behind you now?

After both confusing and concerned conversations with close friends, I'm starting to wonder if many people grew up knowing this, so...
Please reblog for sample size!

There is a type of horror that's all about turning something friendly and familiar into something scary. Things like children, clowns and toys come to mind.
Fnaf does this with animatronics, which are usually just mascots for family friendly places like restaurants or amusement parks. That's fine, nice that they're using something that wasn't all that common in the horror scene (to my knowledge) at the time.
However.
I live in a country where animatronics just aren't a thing. Which means that my first contact with them was through Five Nights at Freddy's, and it took me some time to learn that fnaf didn't just invent them, but that animatronics do exist in real life, albeit in a less haunted form.
This means that I will always first think of fnaf when I see an animatronic, and be slightly alarmed that the animatronic is out there in public before I remember that fnaf is not the originator of animatronics. The "nice turned spooky" trope is flipped upside down here, where I first learned about the spooky before I learned about the nice. It's like seeing cars for the first time in a movie about vampire cars that thirst for blood, and only afterwards being told that cars exist irl.

The Show Must Go Wrong: A collection of Paul McCartney quotes for your consideration
“That whole period weighed on me to such an extent that I even began to think it was all tied in with the idea of original sin. Even though my mum had christened me as a Catholic, we weren’t brought up Catholic, so I didn’t buy into the concept of original sin on a day-to-day basis. It’s really very depressing to think that you were born a loser.”
— Paul McCartney, The Lyrics: 1956 to the Present (2021), on “Carry That Weight”
“‘Maxwell’s Silver Hammer’ was my analogy for when something goes wrong out of the blue, as it so often does, as I was beginning to find out at that time in my life.”
— Paul McCartney, Many Years From Now (1997) by Barry Miles
Q: What scares you?
McCARTNEY: I suppose the way you can’t nail life down. You grow up thinking that if you learn enough stuff and get the right education then you’ll be able to nail life. I’ll know what’s going on. One thing you discover is that the goalposts are always changing. The rules change. The world changes. When that happens, you realize you still don’t have a clue. And it shocks you. You think, “I don’t have the information I need to deal with this.” That scares me.
VICE, A Pure Conversation with Paul McCartney, Interview by Joe Zadeh, June 13th, 2016
“It’s rather serious — life. And you can’t live as if you have nine lives. I find myself doing that often. I think everybody does, saying in his mind, ‘I’ll get it tomorrow.’ But I can’t do that anymore. Take One with the Beatles should have been like I said, with a puff of smoke and magic robes and envelopes. But we missed Take One, so now we do Take Two. And in the disappointment of Take Two — I feel I can always find something good in the bad — the good thing is that it really has made me come to terms more with my life.”
— Paul McCartney, LIFE Magazine, April 16th, 1971

bro do yall remember that old song people used to sing or is it just one of my weird ass hallucinations
“when i was a little girl,
i asked my mother “what will i be?”
“will i be pretty?”
“will i be rich?”
and this is what she said to me.
“que sera sera”
“whatever you’ll be you’ll be (?)”
“the futures not ours to see (?)”
“so (idk the rest)””

now this one is easy. brother crab's number one ending of summer 2024:
there is absolutely noooooo contest. if i had to rank ops and eds together, man. i dunno. kamakura style might be able to take on the demons op (but idk it'd be really close)
this is just such a good track. i feel like it's only a matter of time before botchiboromaru gets yoinked to make a track for hpmi (manifesting)
2. unchain x unchain (tasogare outfocus)
no one is more surprised than me that i'm ranking this one so high (above demons ed) but it is honestly just. holy shit
first of all the fact that the yaoi of the season has yuri in the official mv of its ed is just so blessed to me. love and peace on planet earth
secondly this guy's voice is insane. i thought he was a girl named amber and was like "oooooh gender" when i first watched the mv, then i read about the band and was like "oh shit?!" then right back to "oooooh gender"
banging song, banging lyrics. linking the mv because it's just that worth watching
3. zezezezettai seiiki (dead dead demons dededede destruction)
and of course one of the demons eds does at least make the top 3
honestly both of the demons eds could be on this list but i'll limit myself to one. linking the full mv again because it's just so perfect. ano and lilas ikuta is a duo for the ages fr
