Absolutely heart wrenching Backrooms idea.
Someone getting lost in there with their dog.
Not only having to navigate themselves through a non-Euclidean nightmare world but also navigate an animal through it as well. Who would probably understand it even less.
We know animals can end up there too thanks to the seagull.
Extra angst points if they get separated at one point and we have to see the dog trying to find its owner from its own perspective.
stuff is happening
I really love that the backrooms film answers probably something that everyone has at least wondered once.
âWhat happens if I just⊠choose to stay.â
It kills you. It will eventually kill you. Because youâre choosing to live in a memory. An echo of the past.
To live in the past is to no longer experience the future.
To no longer experience the future is to run out of the present.
To run out of the present allows the past to catch up to you. Quickly.
Clark was dead the second he made that choice. Not just because of the captain. But because in that very moment he let go of his future.
And became someone who only exists in the past.

Happy Pride month to the moon
I really really like how Obssession emphasises the difference in the two Nikkiâs by the fundamentally different ways they feel about bear.
Nikki liked bear a lot but did not love him. Not in the way he wanted her too.
She compared him to a brother. She saw him as basically family. She knew him really well and deeply cared about him as an individual.
But just not in the way bear actually cared about. There wasnât romantic love there. She didnât need him.
Meanwhile Freaky Nikki loves bear but she does not like him. Because he didnât create her to like him.
She deeply deeply romantically loves him to an extreme and codependent level. She needs him to function because itâs her purpose. Her reason to even be alive. Her one job is to love bear and make him happy no matter what.
But she doesnât actually like, know or care about him as a person. His unique quirks and interests are a box to tick at the best and an obstacle to completing her goal at worst. He ends up frustrating her because heâs not letting her just do what he made her for.
She canât even say she likes him. Because she doesnât. She only loves him and thatâs not the same thing.
In that she mirrors how he sees the original Nikki. He loved her but he didnât like her enough not to ruin her life. Just like Freaky Nikki doesnât like him enough to not ruin his.
what's that one thing where they asked how ripely from alien was so realistic and believable as a female character in scifi for once and they were like "well we just took the dude from the original script and made him a girl and changed nothing else. it works bc men and women are the same?" and people were like "woah no way" and then didn't learn anything from that for 20 years
"how do you write such believable men as a woman?" "how do you write such believable women a man?" and the answer people who are good at it always give is "i just write people. were literally the exactly the same. do you think the opposite sex is some sorta totally different animal???" and people respond "woah that's wild. yea i do. and im not gonna stop thinking that goodbye :)"
does a little jig, i guess
I need to stop.
DON'T EAT ME?
Into the soy sauce with you
I always laugh at tiny threeface all day cause her more complicated look is this.
Clark saying the creatures don't feel anything and then later in the same scene the woman anomaly is seen attempting to run away from the pirate, seemingly in fear. Something something devaluation of life seen as different than him.
And itâs taking things overly literally, which seems to be a bad habit of his.
He knows that they donât feel physical pain. Most likely because they donât have nerves since that seems an easy thing for the dimension with dementia to forget to add.
Same with them not being very expressive on a facial level. Due to well⊠Being a physical guesstimation of a person. All that overlapping biology would definitely make traditional emoting impossible. Too many eyes, brow bones, noses, etc. might not even have enough muscles for it. The one he tore into seemed made mostly of just pure fat.
But theyâre alive regardless. Theyâre reactive and respond to stimuli in ways they understand how to.
Not just in red haired creature running and shrieking in fear. Thatâs easy to read. But also the lampshade one rapidly turning its lampshade on and off.
Thatâs a panic response from something that canât flee because the chair is a part of its body. Doing the two things it knows it can. Turn on the light and turn off the light.
But the one he doesnât undermine the interiority of? At least not as much? The captain. His copy.
He tryâs to reason to that one. Talks to it like it understands him. Despite it looking the least real. It looks like a puppet over a man.
But itâs âhimâ so it matters
BACKROOMS MOVIE SPOILERS
English teacher: Captain is the embodiment of the era Clark is stuck in and he bites into Clark because that era/past is literally consuming him
Kane Pixels: Captain ate Clark because he was fucking hungry
Makes you wonder what those things eat when thereâs no people around.
Each other? Guess thatâs WHY theyâre edible. But I doubt you could sustain yourself on them since they seem to be made of 100% fat.
Wonder when the backrooms learned what eating is. Does it understand how digestion systems work? If it gets things more and more wrong every time it remembers them does it inevitably make one without a functional stomach?
Born to starve for the sin of being made by a world with Dementia?
crying tears of joy over this photo
KÄkÄpĆ (Strigops habroptilus)
every time I share a photo of a kÄkÄpĆ and someone goes "lol it's sirocco the one who shagged a man's head" I get so irritated because there's more than one kÄkÄpĆ on earth but. after much digging. no this is literally sirocco. this IS in fact and undoubtedly the parrot that shagged some dude's head. happy birthday you crazy bachelor
If i had a nickel for every time I saw a tumblr post where someone recognized One Parrot Specifically from a photo and then proceeded to call out That Specific Parrot for various Parrot Crimes, I'd have two nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.
The cutiemark crusaders getting different cutiemarks but choosing to continue to be the cutiemark crusaders anyway wouldâve been significantly more meaningful than their talent just happening to be them being the CMC.
We already know talent and occupation are separate thanks to rarity. Her talent is sensing gemstones but her occupation is a seamstress.
It feels more like they were afraid of letting the CMC escape the out of universe branding of being a trio in any way. Which is an idea reinforced by the fact they werenât even supposed to have the inner unique symbols to their cutiemarks. The leaked script describes them as identical. Literally just their cape emblem x3.
Meaning the designers likely had to fight to even have their marks be slightly unique. And thatâs just depressing.
I've always read these girls as DEEPLY codependant. They're going to be surgically fused at the hip until death do them part and probably not even then.
Whatever other interests they may have, being the Cutie Mark Crusaders is their TALENT, the thing that they have always been the best at. I don't think them having, like, a potion bottle, a microphone and a scooter would have been nearly as special
But the issue is⊠it isnât what theyâve always been narratively best at. Thatâs just not true from a literal level.
Their talents were firmly set up from the start. The foreshadowing was never that their talent is helping others find their place. Not until right before they went with it.
There was no point in having a whole episode dedicated to the resolution of âitâs ok applebloom if you donât get the same cutiemark as your friends because youâll still stay as the cmc regardless. Mark or notâ If they were just going to say âah fuck itâ and slap the same ugly mark on them anyway.
That is a copout. A narrative copout. A retcon to what they were originally planning to go with.
Basically none of what happens in the latter half was planned at the start. Lauren Faust has been very open about the fact that the second she left they threw out everything she had planned and immediately changed course. And I mean immediately considering Cadence wasnât supposed to be an Alicorn. And her frustration with the changes has only grown over time. She stopped actively keeping up with the show after twilight became an alicorn.
So it was a retcon. And people have the right to be upset the foreshadowing that had been building for literal years of their lives was just dropped.
And that what it was dropped for looks so⊠cheap and uninspired.
Like Iâd be less upset if they looked good.
But they donât. The colours are muddy, the details blur together when not zoomed in like this, both sweetie belles and scootaloos inner marks have visually annoying tangents with the stripes, they reduce the girls individuality to an after thought and appleblooms inner mark says nothing about her other than âdid you know sheâs an apple?â
And theyâre even worse in comparison. Which we have.
Because sweetiebelle and scootaloo arenât G4 ponies. They were G3 ponies. Two of its main characters in fact! Who had cutiemarks. Ones that could still work really well on their G4 counterparts with minimal tweaks! And actually fit their colour palettes and vibes personally without having to account for two other ponies!
I donât hate the concept of their marks having shared details. I just really dislike the execution and what it cost. And thatâs something Iâm not really ever going to budge on. Didnât like it back then and only soured on it further with time.
Honestly I'm sorta over citing everything Faust said as if it was/is gospel.
I CERTAINLY prefer Cadence as an Alicorn, and whatever foreshaodwing might have been put into Apple Bloom's "arc" (if this show can even be said to have those) was 2 or 3 seasons gone by the time we finally got their cutie marks.
And you want to talk about generic? A love heart and a butterfly? What on EARTH does that have to do with EITHER Sweetie Belle OR Scootaloo as characters?
I can see where you're coming from, I can, I just have an opposite opinion.
The one thing we see all three of them doing, that all three of them are good at, that matters to all three of them?
Being the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Some people need other people, most of us do. Hell, TWILIGHT'S cutie mark is one star surrounded by five other stars, fully showing how her talent of "magic" is in relation to the Element of Magic above all.
I wasnât putting Faust on a pedestal. I was using her as a literal example for the fact that almost nothing past mid season two was planned from the start. Because I like to back up a point with evidence.
I donât like to just assume anything. Backing things up makes stronger foundations for points.
Like reading into twilightâs cutie mark like that is clever! And a completely valid read too! Iâm sure they started using it like that later on!
But on a literal level her cutiemark is just a simplified version of her G3 cutie mark. From her twilight twinkle era.
A pink and white pointed star with smaller white stars surrounding it. Just with the light blue core removed because itâd clash with her new palette and the extra details streamlined.
It existed this way before the story was written during a time twilight wasnât even a unicorn.
She wasnât even going to have this mark for a good chunk of development! In fact compared to the others she had quite a last minute change.
This is how she looked for most of development. An absence of pink and a completely different cutie mark. A simplified version of Moondancers G1 cutiemark to be specific! It being Lauren Fausts all time favourite cutiemark.
The reason for the change very likely just being something as unglamorous and boring as⊠branding. Wanting something a bit more traditionally eye catching and appealing for merchandising purposes than an almost monotone moon and star.
Sometimes getting the facts straight can feel less âcool.â Iâm always disappointed when I learn something I thought was true actually isnât (or wasnât always true) but I think itâs important regardless.
I like having and seeking knowledge on the things I love even if it changes how I feel about them.
Part of my distaste for the cutiemark crusaders marks is the knowledge it was ultimately a more corporate decision over a creative one. But I donât regret gaining that knowledge.
âYou stop learning when youâre deadâ as my dad taught me as a kid. Lived by it ever since.
Thatâs the golden ticket question isnât it?
And the answer is a lot more complicated than youâd honestly think. Because the CMC got their cutie marks in season five.
Lauren Faust begun the process of leaving at the end of season one. Having completely left by season three.
People have long debated why she left but overlook that she was actually very clear about why in the announcement post.
The quote in question unveiling THAT answer being this one:
âVarious circumstances with the production made it increasingly impossible for me to keep up the level of personal creative involvement and control that I had at the start of the series.â
It was creative differences. The way she wanted to take the show and the way hasbro did started creating friction until she didnât feel like she had the control she wanted of her own story anymore.
She was very positive about the shows future at this point but would sour on it more and more as time went on and the gap between what she had intended and the shows now direction only got larger and larger. Culminating with her not even actively keeping up with the show anymore due to the changes. Wishing to at least mentally preserve her version of the story.
Which she was completely valid in choosing to do even without putting the woman on a pedestal. Having your original show pitch (which was milkyway and the galaxy girls) shot down, being moved onto an existing IP instead, deciding to give it all your love anyway, then getting creatively pushed out basically at the beginning and watching it morph into something completely different than you intended and in ways you wouldâve actively disliked?
Pardon my French but that⊠genuinely fucking sucks. No one deserves to go through that much bullshittery just because they wanted to make a cartoon. I donât blame her for just tuning out after awhile.
Most of us wouldâve done the same. And weâd be lying if we said we wouldnât.
But the reason that makes guesstimating what their cutie marks wouldâve been if she hadnât stopped working on it so hard?
Is that they got them so long production wise after she left. The show is basically a completely different show to the one she wanted to make by this point. In a million small ways that add up.
My little pony if Lauren Faust stayed involved would be a different show. The CMC would likely be different characters who had done different things up to that point. Threeish seasons of different things.
At that point weâre essentially headcanoning unless Lauren decides to release a massive document listing all her plans for the show that never happened.
Bronies talk a lot about how they want Lauren Faust to come back in and save my little pony. But even if in a miraculous miracle she did and got all the creative control she wanted?
That wouldnât being the friendship is magic they all remember back just with a few bad plot points sanded away.
Itâd be my little pony adventures. It would fundamentally be a different show.
And they donât want a different show.
One thing that really annoys me is that they kept teasing all those things the CMC could get their marks in and then just tossed it out for the ugly copypaste instead (this post is already long so I'm gonna make a cut)
Sweetie belle sings. She also had been improving her magic, and has a love for arts and crafts
Scootaloo likes stunts. She's also a dancer and good at mechanics
Applebloom makes things. She builds floats and does repairs but she also brews magic potions
Any of those would've been a wonderful route for them to take, and would tie into the show saying that they'll be friends even if they're different
But nope. Someone folded like a wet towel to the Hasbro marketing department and we got those instead and an episode that stomps over the message the show was previously building up to. Maybe it was the same person who gave in about Twilight's ugly ass castle...
Now they can never leave because the retcon overlords and fate itself says they HAVE to be the CMC forever and they HAVE to fix other's cutiemark problems because no one else can
Imagine the episode we could've gotten about them all having different cutiemarks
Scootaloo freaking out because it doesn't look "awesome" and learning that being a girl isn't a series of set category boxes. Apple bloom hiding it because of insecurity about not being like the rest of her family and getting advice from Pinkie or Fluttershy about being proud of doing something new. Sweetie belle panicking because she realises something she idolised isn't all glamorous and thinking she's gonna be stuck doing one thing forever and realising she can always do something new
Scootaloo having a Butterfly and lil flowers cutie mark could work by pulling what it meant in G3! Because it actually was tied to a character thing in G3 but people often forget (or wilfully overlook) the fact G3 had lore!
She collected pet Butterflies. And loved sharing about them with her friends!
If they need a bloody merch opportunity and a half? Scootaloo taking over and renovating a butterfly pavilion and then accidentally getting her mark in the process because she realised she loves rearing and caring for insects? And panicking initially before realising that doesnât at all mean she has to stop with her scooter stunts and can merge both new and old parts of her life?
That would be a really natural way to incorporate toyetic elements into a really meaningful story! Because they could make playsets out of scootaloos new butterfly stunt pavilion! Along side the obvious new scootaloo toys!
And as the others get their marks they could also add to the building turning it into this hobbyists and crafters third space where people come to learn new things (and ya know, three playsets that click into one would be really enticing to corporate)
Leading into the narrative endpoint that theyâre now helping others find their way and what speaks to them in a far more natural and far less buildup wrecking way.
They will always be the cutie mark crusaders. They donât need destiny to force them together permanently.
Theyâre already doing that willingly.
G4 would have to stop pretending to be embarrassed by my little ponies history first though.
The cutiemark crusaders getting different cutiemarks but choosing to continue to be the cutiemark crusaders anyway wouldâve been significantly more meaningful than their talent just happening to be them being the CMC.

WHAT could BTTWNS POSSIBLY be ABOUT bro
In the least spoilery way possible?
Itâs about a serial killer having to take down another serial killer who starts killing in her town so that the investigations into them donât uncover her own crimes.
Though from what I see here they likely are severely mischaracterising Samantha here. Sheâs not a brawler. She an intelligent cold planner who works on strict rules.
That hanging body alone breaking a big one. She doesnât do mess. She only ties up bodies to blood let them into a bucket from a singular neck wound. Specifically as to not create big blood splatters.
Being a fnaf fan is a really unique experience when it comes to the way I think critically towards it.
Because on one hand? I wouldnât change a thing. Itâs a wild, partially nonsensical, unpolished stream of consciousness ride that at this point I find engaging to just see how it plays out. All its bizarreness and flaws included.
One the other? I am very aware that if I could I would change basically everything. It rarely follows through on its plot threads in a satisfying way, undermines the few times it has constantly, is retcon city and suffers badly from clearly being made up as it went along. At least in the earlier titles.
At the end of the day it is clearly the game the creator wants it to be. And it shifts around as his desires for it do. That alone has a special charm. Iâm not engaging with fnaf for a polished well executed narrative piece.
But thereâs always going to be part of me that⊠would like that version of fnaf. It more than has the potential for it. For someone to come in and take the unpolished but awesome crystal it is and make a wonderful gemstone out of it.
I know itâs possible. A million fan games have done it.
