Backrooms Side Blog! 7 year special interest who?

In this scene, Clark says "Can you imagine how good that must feel?"

"There's no thoughts, no pain, no ego. No fear. They simply exist. Like furniture."

But then when he turns the light off, the wheelchair user turns his lamp on. When Mary hits The Pirate with the concrete piece, he yells in pain. Clark consoles The Pirate as though its feelings might be hurt. And when the memory of his wife sees The Pirate, she tries desperately to get away.

They have every one of those things. He just refuses to see their interiority. Like he always did. Like he refused to understand why his wife would kick him out, and keeps refusing, even now that he can see that she was terrified of him. Cause she's always been just furniture to him.

first edit on tumblr, kinda nervous

Also like everyday brings another White male character with 5 seconds of screentime and a paper thin personality that fandom latches onto because they're 'sooo relatable and interesting!' meanwhile a Black character can be the world's most complex nuanced person but they're just too new :( they don't have enough moments :(( something just doesn't click :((((

HAPPY BDAY CLARK BACKROOMS

Same as it ever was

what i love about the Backrooms movie is that its perfectly compatible with the fandom version of the backrooms so many of Kane's fans have nothing but contempt for (through no fault of his own). the backrooms is whatever you think it is or want it to be. the part of the backrooms built around Clark is just that- built around Clark. somebody else could easily walk into the backrooms and be greeted with something completely different within those desaturated yellow walls. if the right person walked in, they could see come upon a backrooms gatekeeper's worst nightmare- a dreamcore childhood bedroom with pastel pink walls and stickers everywhere, a fuzzy vhs filter over all of it, with a sihlouette sitting there with you, telling you everything will be okay.

Can’t really articulate it properly but. Something about Clark and the need for ownership being a repeated theme throughout the movie. Something about how he constantly emphasizing that it was his house, his store, his money that pays for everything. Or the way he refers to the copies as “furniture” and treats them as such despite the fact they do show some sentience. The way he treated Mary as a means to justify his not wanting to leave and his refusal to change. The fact that Clark eats from the copies and the Captain eats people.

The Captain’s “den” being filled with piles of clothes and pieces of the cardboard cutout it destroyed. The piles of furniture in the middle of rooms. Something about the Captain’s hostility at people that enter Backrooms possibly from seeing them as an invasion upon his space, his house, threatening change in a place he does not want it. Trying to gain control over your life by trying to own and control everything around you. Is this anything

[nickysinferno]

Adding on to this I also want to note it plays into patriarchal themes. In alot of domestic violence cases, or misogyny, they use the term "mine" to assert authority. That it's their property. Everything around Clark is expected to obey him, to be movable and still like furniture. When Barbara and Mary retaliated against this he was angry, he could no longer control the situation. In society men will treat woman like objects and furniture.

The wiki page for the backrooms (in general, not the film) says the original photo was taken in a former furniture store. It's a nice detail that they find the backrooms in a furniture store in the 2026 film, I think.
