Ts will never not be funny to me, that soapshipping brainrot hit hard omg

logging into tumblr.com really is our daily dose of recess huh. i take a stroll down my dash and people are playing make-believe with cursed amulets, pondering their orbs, playing with jpegs like dolls. some of us are pretending to be wizards and villains and evil advisors and blob monsters (my preference). there's always a group playing Animals (wolf is very popular). the main topic of conversation is tv shows and cartoon characters, which we enjoy arguing about. recently there's been a juggling craze

I really did like the ending of the Backrooms 2026, actually. The twist that the Backrooms is a space that you can physically exit but a part of you mentally will always be trapped in is a great subversion and really effectively inverts the concept. The main scientist character looks directly into the camera and reveals he is still caught in the same nostalgia trap that Clark was, stuck in a repetitive motion and going nowhere. Mary got out but she's still in there. You can leave but you can never escape

my favourite part of Backrooms was when Phil showed Mary a photo of Clark on the cameras and you could see the big fuckass censor square over the Pirate

For a little I felt like we missed Clark’s spiral and that’s why the change felt so sudden but in the same scene that Clark shows this “sudden” violent part of himself he says ‘I don’t want to change’.

Clark has always been like this. We saw his extreme anger at the start of the movie. His disregard for those around him with how he speaks to and about them. The implied breaking of the glass was that he threw it, not knocked it over.

I was expecting a spiral but he didn’t need one. He was already there.

a handprint made in concrete is just the image of a hand, it’s not the real thing. or, it’s the absence of a hand, more than anything, the negative space. the casing around where it should be. it’s an indent that was made from something real - that could not have existed without something real - but it’s not the real thing, it’s just trying to be. maybe it’s not even trying. you put your hand there with your mother and the concrete remembers, and the handprint doesn’t even know why it exists, it just does. if we can make copies and not-things from real things in the world, who’s the say the world couldn’t do that itself? does it even need to know why?

Something I think is important regarding backrooms analysis is that Clark is an architect. This greatly informs his own outlook and attachment to the backrooms; for example, he went multiple times and mapped it out, something surprising considerng he had just one POV at eye level. He also didn't seem afraid of this discovery, more like amazed by it, considering how he talks about it to Mary, and also how excited he is to show it to his employees and to Mary herself later on. Another aspect is how he describes the place, both as something that someone is drawing out of interpretation and as something architects on acid would build (both sorta relating to the idea of planning and making the place, which I feel is like an architect mindset if that makes sense). I think it greatly explains why he kept going in and why he became so attached to the place, like, it's a space that shows one of your passions in unique ways and also responds to you (presumably considering his text in the mural of "I don't know who made the plans but the signature seems mine").

That's why wish more people discussed this aspect of his character cause I feel like it makes his own relationship to the place more engaging
