the fact that Carlos was a professor is so funny to me. this was a man in his mid-thirties with a Career tm and a Salary tm and then one day he abandoned that for a sabbatical and left to research night vale, then proceeded to stay in night vale for no reason other than that he’s gay and batshit unhinged. like he went from grading papers in an office, to wooing a slutty immortal radio host while dead animals rain from the sky around them. imagine you look up your old instructer on ratemyprofessors and you can’t find any trace of him because his linkedin points to a town that no maps recognize, where he moved to basically be a malewife and do sidequests. and night vale didn’t even make him weird, he’s just always been Like That and it gave him the opportunity to let all that weirdness out. it’s so sexy of him, you go funky science man

i truly believe that the Video Essay is the single greatest way of receiving information. someone who is really really into whatever theyre talking about getting to present it however they want with almost no audiovisual restrictions. what could be better.

Please please please watch the new Bo Burnham special

don't watch Bo Burnham's "Inside" if you are not in a safe mental place

before you get mad please let me elaborate

I am in no way saying you should never watch it, or that mentally ill people shouldn't watch it, or that you should only watch it if you are completely mentally healthy. I'm not even saying you should block the tags or avoid engaging with it at all costs

i am saying that if you are actively struggling with your mental health, for example you currently have suicidal ideation or are self harming, please be very careful about watching this special (or clips of it)

if you are struggling in that sort of way but still want to watch it now, please make sure you have a support system that you could turn to in the event that something in the special triggers a severe reaction in you

if you do not have that kind of support system but still want to watch the special, i highly encourage you to wait until you either establish one or make enough progress in your mental health that you can cope with a reaction safely

I just watched Inside and i am really glad that i'm in such a good place with my mental health, because it prominently discusses and depicts Bo Burnham's spiral into severe depression. I'm also glad it didn't come out earlier this year while I was in a depressive episode bad enough I had to increase my med dosage, which had been stable for two years. I can only imagine how watching this during any kind of dangerous mental health episode/crisis could end up. I think Inside is an incredible piece of art, but I worry about people in vulnerable situations where their impulses can lead to very very dangerous places. Plenty of the special is typical comedy music and stuff, especially in the beginning. I personally plan to go back and look for symbolism and metaphors and other subtle shit, but after the first 20-30 minutes, less and less of it is subtle. Bo Burnham made a movie of himself as he fell to a self-described All Time Low, including the ugly and scary parts. So make sure you can be safe if you’re gonna watch the whole thing, and use caution when watching clips.

TL;DR

i believe much of Inside could be very triggering to those prone to self-destruction or suicidal ideation. If that applies to you, please use caution and be proactive about your mental health before going to watch it.
