We were never supposed to see Clark's wife. The film is about Clark and how he describes what happened that led him to her divorcing him and how he views her. It wouldn't matter if we saw her POV because Clark just wanted to go back to those simplier times when he had control and was able to "understand" her through his distorted lens

And thus we as an audience don't completely understand and so have to just go off of Clark and Mary's conversations (describing a dog to a person who has never seen one before)

She is not a person, she is a memory

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

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?

Three windows give onto the ford that drifts by, glittering as water does in its own deep time, a long arm that reaches into the land, and in the blood veins of the arm run the shoals of fish and shimmer each and every one in the sunshine of May month like rings meshed together in chain mail.

the thing I love most about how tumblr users use tags is that it’s like what if a social media website had a footnotes system

Have I ever said how much I liked daan? Probably. Well I stole this drawings from one of my alters, he posted it on his side blog and I thought.. man that’s ugly but it has potential. So like 30 hours later I’ve made it acceptable for me.

I really could write a video essay on daan idk I love him sm
