Radio plus outis and viewer

For Outis: Katamari - Femtanyl

kinda similar to what i was saying about query, a lot of the music i associate with outis is just noise stuff. except, on a much louder scale. this one i think fits outis best in terms of like, its overall vibe or at least the feeling i get from it. tbh i have so few songs for outis because it has such a particular vibe to it that only this song has really matched well enough (to me at least).

For Viewer: The Glory - San Fermin

okay a bit embarrassing but. i also have like, very little music i associate with them. their playlist is virtually empty for some reason. i don't know how that happened considering i think about them all the time. i do always listen to like, very loud music in the same vein as i do when im drawing outis but somehow none of the songs really stuck. This is kinda the main one that feels most resembling viewer or at least catches the vibe of them.

[ink-asunder]

I'm kind of surprised people aren't going more feral about DEVO tbh. Like I think it has a lot of the weirdcore energy of like... Jack Stauber and Will Wood stuff, whilst still being indistinguishable from the 80s-90s-and-Now era that it came from.

Puppet Boy's Mystery (A poem for Wally Darling from Welcome Home)

Puppet boy, what is it you hide? I think of you often and the same it is tonight. A doe-eyed nightmare or a smiling dream - what are you, puppet boy? What is it that I see? Indigo blue and a colorful charade - the trademarks of the Beast have enchanted me. Now each night as I go to sleep I think of thee, and the puppet boy's Eldritch mystery.

After a longer delay, I return with a short and sweet poem inspired by one of the most curious internet phenomena, that is rapidly gaining popularity by the minute. Wally Darling is a mysterious main character of the psychological horror project by a talented artist who goes by Clown ( @partycoffin ). The project revolves around lost media, more specifically a children's television program called "Welcome Home" that was broadcast onto an unknown TV channel sometime in the 1970's before being abruptly cancelled by its creators for mysterious reasons. The project itself is in its beginning stages, but it has already, miraculously managed to gain a huge following and popularity. Topics explored in the "Welcome Home" project likely include occult practices, Lovecraftian themes, cults and psychological manipulation, which all could have contributed to the "show's" cancellation. The same phenomena still lingers behind the 4th wall of the Welcome Home Restoration Project's website, preying on us, viewers and "neighbors" - as the show's characters call us, as we curiously partake in unravelling its dark mysteries. I am looking forward to seeing how this project goes forward. Make sure to follow along!

Listen Puppet Boy

You’ve got a job to do

Even so you’re free to go

Where your master tells you to

Listen Puppet Boy

Before you disobey

Consider that the Strings Attached

Could make a big change in your ways

— Song Lyric Anon

//Ignore the first one I forgot the italics. Have a fancier version instead.

…Huh.
