hearing “mythbusters episodes are being uploaded for free” has me running to my youtube and yes they are!!! they seem to be kinda randomly choosing episodes to upload, but they have a ton of classics up like the first duct tape special, the pirate special, the macguyver special, and the movie heist special, among tons of others!!

i know we moved on from this, but hearing patrick sing the words “18 going on extinct” when he’s so close to turning 40 fucking. does something evil to me.

i’m tired of pretending i dislike the greatest showman.

also for anyone who cares, the creator says indigo park takes place around 2023, so if we replace the “20XX” with “2023”, the day the park closed was October 9, 2015.

we can even spitball the time! when you’re closest to going into the park in the opening cutscene, you see a trailcam with the time 21:48. converting that into 12 hour time, that’s 9:48 pm. if we assume that by the time our main character got into the park, it was about 10 pm, that would make the time the park closed 6:37 pm. accounting for human error and me being REALLY bad with time, we can assume that the park closed around 5-6 pm that day.

i don’t know if knowing the date/time is gonna be significant in any way, but seeing that indigo park is pretty heavily based on the disney theme parks, it seems significant that it closed earlier in the day, because most disney parks close around 8-9 pm. it seems like, especially considering the park is in pretty bad shape, that the park was very hastily evacuated.

WE GOT A CAT!!!!!!!

i was trying to find tan youyou himself to see if i could talk to him in the overworld (edit: i found him!! thank you!!) but inside the dye workshop does have spindle's personal log and it does at least confirm what i thought, that tan youyou is not native to stoneville! while most likely not the next map we’ll unlock, i wouldn’t be surprised if we visited the linlang empire sooner rather than later.

sorry for the screen recorded tiktok this is hysterical to me. i would pay money to buy these off of ppl who didn’t want it.

okay, so, my theory based off the limited information we have. i think the mascots are hyper intelligent (IN UNIVERSE) AI systems, with our Rambley assistant being kinda an overseer AI, NOT a suit AI. i think salem is a relatively new member of the cast. assuming indigo park was made in the 60’s, i think salem was introduced somewhere around the 90’s, just based off their punk look. i think the ai’s were trying to balance their character traits with being good meet-and-greet characters, and somewhere along the till line salem’s ai… not necessarily went haywire, but rather it did the job of aligning to their character traits (being antagonistic, especially towards rambley) too well. something horrible happened as a result, causing the park to be shut down (and like i said in a previous post, probably hastily evacuated).

i don’t fully think salem is our MAIN-main antagonist, i think there’s something a tiny bit bigger going on, especially with rambley saying he was “confined to the entrance for so long”, but it wouldn’t surprise me if a bulk of our problems could be traced back to salem.

(this STILL does not explain why Mascot Have Blood In It but you know we’ll figure this shit out as we go)

mythbusters is really good at being extremely timeless but occasionally kari wears something that violently reminds me that this show was filmed in the 2000’s.

[takethistoyourstardust]

this is. perhaps. the most fucked up 8 ball list of all time.
