MY MAN!!!
I played through Mouthwashing last night and I loved it. I can't stop thinking about the story and characters. I really appreciate how subtle the game is with its writing. There's a lot of things you probably wouldn't pick up on in a first playthrough, like
(Mouthwashing spoilers and trigger warnings after the cut)
ok, i am currently watching the new hbomberguy video and i got to the part with james somerton, and this is actually painful. i cannot believe how fucking creatively bankrupt someone can be. like, does he even watch or engage with the media he makes video essays for? i can't be sure. if he just regurgitates everything, then wtf does this guy even believe? this is so insane to me. i can't imagine making all these videos copying other people's work verbatim, it's all so empty and soulless.
the thing i love about video essays is seeing what others are passionate about talking about. i guess to me, sharing that enthusiasm (especially if it features good analysis) is so satisfying! it says something about you as a person: what you like, what you notice, and what you feel from art. art that has had a strong personal effect on me is part of how i understand my identity. so i guess there's something nearly uncanny valley about a fucking human content machine spitting out videos featuring nothing but other people's thoughts, opinions and observations. it's all so cynical.
and it's made even more upsetting that this guy is, ultimately, a marginalized person standing on the backs of other marginalized people. profit in the name of "queer analysis." it fucking spits in the face of what the queer community should be - we should be looking out for each other. uplifting one another. you'd have to be a real fucking scumbag to treat others this way.
EDIT: i got further in and uh,,, my question "what is this guy even passionate about," was answered! it's hating women. he's a misogynist. wow. fuck this guy with a brick.
EDIT: WHY WOULD HE MAKE AN ATTACK ON TITAN VIDEO IF HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO SPELL "SHONEN." THAT'S NOT EVEN REMOTELY IN HIS WHEELHOUSE FFS IM INSANE \
edit: to follow up on anime not being his wheelhouse, apparently he was gonna make a neon genesis evangelion video (despite as recently as 2 weeks ago saying he'd never seen it and didn't understand the watch order) and a revolutionary girl utena video. thank you, harris, for saving us from this fate. good fucking GRIEF
ok wow there is a specific storytelling advantage to keeping up with dracula daily where i got up with my coffee, ready to hear the latest correspondence from my good buddy jonathan harker, and there was NOTHING. he spent the night at that awful castle and i am left in. horrible suspense!!
JONATHAN SIMMmm,S OF THE MMMMAAAAAGGGGNUUSSSSSSSSSSS'S ARCHIVE OF THE INSTITUTE OF THE MAGNUS INSTITUTE OF THE MAGNUS ARCHIVES PODCAST, IS DOING VA WORK ON RE: DRACULA? MOST EXCELLENT.

relistening to the magnus archives and sasha james seriously met a monster in a coffee shop and then agreed to meet with them later in a graveyard, without even letting anyone know where she was going 😭😭😭 and jon says SHE'S the level-headed one??? MAN...
the fact that when you go to loot minthara, the only thing in her supply pack is like...a raspberry. girl dinner, i suppose.
