Me the first half of The Backrooms: "oh I get it. He's a down on his luck failed architect and even more failed furniture store owner who's trying to better himself. He'll probably be fascinated with the furniture/architecture of the backrooms and start selling the items there for money + notoriety. And eventually he'll go deeper and deeper to get more and more items until he gets trapped and encounters The Horrors. A classic tale of hubris :) "

Me the second half of the backrooms:

Alright, can't sleep so it's time to stop being silly and thirsty for a minute

I feel that we, the Iron Lung fandom, have kinda separated from the movie

I am a silly and indulgent post enjoyer myself, VERY clearly. But I fell in love with the movie for the movie

I feel like we as a fandom are moving away from the movie and kinda... losing the idea? I can't quite explain it, but the energy is different.

And I think it's because we don't have access to the movie, only our memories and the emotions attached to em. We can't currently rewatch it to keep the original feeling vivid and we can't rewatch and analyze anymore or study the characters.

Again, I like the fun fandom stuff too.

I am quite literally stalking a girl dad Simon blog rn (you know who you are)

But I want the original vibes back, ya know?

Even in my own art and current fanfic, I try to stay true to the characters and movie but I have no way to refresh (unless I watched illegally) and man....

#yes!!#been thinking about this a lot while writing #slowly forgeting how it felt to watch the movie #a drag path and so on

So, Simon psychology time for you silly little fanfic writers out there.

Let's take away the Butcher. Totally cut that out of the picture.

Let's take away Eden's fanaticism and the C.O.I.'s "reconditioning" and the Iron Lung ever being a thing.

Let's give Simon the time to shine. He has nothing else to focus on but himself for a long enough time to be okay with that.

Who would Simon be?

Well, the obvious answer is "oh he's Markiplier." Here's a link for my reasoning behind this take. Let me plead my case!

Simon didn't get Earth, though. He got Mars on the horizon for a few years of his life, and a space station (Eden) that might as well have been shot back into medieval times.

So, what do we do?

We sci-fi-ify Markiplier, sprinkle in some dirt, half a tablespoon of Never Went To Therapy, and shake it around in a jar.

Examples:

Mark's van project -> Simon's (definitely stolen) starspeeder project

Mark builds computers -> Simon brute forces his old tech to keep working because he's too stubborn to stop messing with it

Mark loves space -> Simon loves space (too bad it's gone)

Mark is totally not a masochist -> Simon is totally not a sadist

Mark's ADHD -> Simon's ADHD (space edition)

Mark can't drink -> Alcohol makes Simon unbearably sick (it doesn't stop him)

Mark occasionally needs reading glasses -> Guess who's blind because he never saw an optometrist once in his life

Also, people like to imagine Simon with a dog, so hear me out on this evil idea of mine: Simon has heard about animals via his basic schooling, through textbooks and his elders (the ones still alive to tell tales of the planets.)

But Simon just becomes enraptured with this so-called man's best friend. Eden's lonely as fuck. So, he makes one up. A fabrication when things get hard.

Simon doesn't really know what a dog looks like though, so he'd imagine it maybe a little wrong.

Yes, I'm whump-ifying your dog fix-it fics *evil laugh*

OK, OK, you get the picture. Now, go forth with this information, my scarabs. I have totally unrelated business to attend to at 4 AM (aka watching the entire Render Farm compilation in an insomnia-induced haze).

For all the "its so slow and boring" reviews, Mark should release a "critic's cut" of Iron Lung that's just the regular movie, with temple run playing beside it and a Markiplier Keys Jingle-Jingle that jumpscares the audience every 5 min.

@animeshogun8 has stolen this artwork and is claiming it's their own and selling it without my permission/possibly pretending to sell it to get you to click a spam link. Please help me by reporting the post as impersonation/spam. Update: looks like the account was taken down. Thanks everyone!!

I'll have to slap a watermark on this when I'm able. Sorry we can't have nice things because people think it's okay to profit off someone else's work. Thought Tumblr was better than that.

I love it when characters have some kind of weird bond between them. Psychic bonds, telepathic links, empathy links, soul bonds, and whatever else. What if you were always aware of the people you loved? What if you could feel their presence in a way beyond the five senses? What if they could never fully hide themselves from you? What if you could never fully hide yourself from them?

@dateamonster no actually you're completely right, weird bonds can absolutely be both a numinous and sublime experience and an absolutely horrifying which should be explored in great detail 👀

#bonus points if its platonic#maximum points it if blurs the line of any kind of relationship and becomes utterly undefinable not even the characters could explain in#words what they are to eachother#myocs#triple thousand points if its codependent but i feel that almost goes without saying

@fokron you are also completely right, make the relationship between the bond members so outside the range of normal human experience that there's literally no word for how they relate to each other. and also the codependency.
