👁️ . : Discussions with Adagio: The backrooms, society, and the anxieties of today : . 👁️

So I just watched the backrooms. And i’m sure you know my thoughts; It was absolute cinema and I loved it.

But this movie leaves a strange taste in your mouth. It makes you think..

I’m gonna share some of the thoughts I had with you.

In Kane Parsons work, memory, the subconscious mind and the fear of being forgotten is very prevalent. The Oldest View is a good example of this. (btw if you enjoyed the backrooms, go watch that, it’s definitely worth it!!)

But I think there’s a reason that stuff with themes like that hits so different. We live in an increasingly negative and anxious society, shaped by capitalism, greed, and narcissism. As a gen z person who’s neurodivergent, I know how it feels to loop through these uncertainties. You go through these loops of negativity, over and over, hurting yourself along the way.

Misremembering. Distorting.

And while a lot of people look at this movie from the lens of the trauma of the characters, I think there’s something larger here. A bigger picture that we should be discussing.

Let’s start with the character of Clark.

Many people see the parallels of him with the ‘abused becomes the abuser’ and the mind of a man broken beyond repair, who eventually succumbs to his demons because he refuses to change.

But in my theory, these flaws in his represent an older generation. We as young people, sometimes live in homes with this generation. And depending on the circumstances, we might be happy with them. Or… We are treated like shit.

Queer and trans youth are often disowned.

Mentally ill and disabled youth are often institutionalised.

Youth of different skin tone are systematically abused by the bastards in charge because they don’t have light skin.

Who does this? Who’s to blame?

The older people who don’t understand that the world has changed. They don’t comprehend that they’re hurting others younger than them, because they think they know what’s best for a generation that experiences the world differently.

As for Mary, I think her ending represents the struggles we as the younger generation have because of bastards who think they know better than us. We try to explain and educate the older generation. But what do they do?

They spit in our face.

Mary tried to help Clark. But he spat in her face because he didn’t want to change.

A young trans girl tries to explain to her mother that she’s trans because that’s who she just is. Her mother spits in her face and calls her ‘sinful’ and ‘woke’.

Do you see what I’m talking about?

This is a call to wake up and look at ourselves. Both young and old. Look at the systems in place!! They are doing more harm than good!

We need to stop looping in this maze of torment.

We need to stop escaping into our own memories of nostalgia and yearning for a idealised past that we can’t go back to. We need to start living in the future and paving our own way.

We need to wake up.

Call me a weirdo, but as a 32 yearold autistic woman... I simply DO NOT understand how some women unironically date and have relationships with men that are either 10 years their junior, or 10 years their elder. I often hear from others that it's a bit of a weird standard of mine that I'd unironically only date men that are either 3 years older or younger than me or so (I'd call that 'men my age'.). 5 years OLDER ONLY (not 5 years younger) if he'd absolutely be my perfect partner, but even that's pushing it in my case, lol.

Maybe I'm just crazy, but idc that 22 is 'actually legally an adult'. Get lost, because your physical brain is still actually growing to a degree. you know, LIKE A TEENAGER'S PHYSICAL BRAIN DOES. 🤢🤮 Like, I'm clearly not what you need, bro; go do what you NEED to do at your age, and go find who you REALLY are under all of the fronts you put up instead. So lowkey feels like cradle robbing to me in that context, lol. I don't like the undertone of 'you're not like girls my age' on that whole thing either; don't be complimenting me by putting other women down like that, dude. 🤢🤮 Not to mention that a man in general literally doesn't even know who he REALLY is yet at that age yet. While men my age in general already tend to know, and are often looking for general compatibility just like me. The cougar life like that is DEFINITELY just not for me on that one, lol. I simply can't be desperately reliving my youth through dating on that one. And I'm pretty sure that some 42 yearold would just be exploiting my neurodivergence in some way, and I REFUSE to date manipulators like that. Generational ableist bullshit, you know how it is. Either that, or he's likely fetishizing me in some way (more common men that are older than me). Look, I don't care about the 'daddy' meme on that one neither; no kinkshame sis, just not kinksame. I might be perpetually single, but I STILL deserve better than a bad relationship like that. Or maybe I just get the ick on those in particular because I had A LOT of middle-aged dudes like that lowkey creeping on me back in my early 20's, lol; negative associations and all. And as an irl goth, so a member of a generally leftist counterculture; They're also more likely to generally be conservative, and that countercultural part of me simply CANNOT vibe romantically with that. Ugh, this DEFINITELY is part of why I don't actually like being in my 30's right now. It's such a weird kind of limbo; too old to be a 'young adult', too young to be 'middle-aged'. Also, so unironically weird that the internet generally thinks you're old and already romantically done for in general, while real life generally thinks you're still young. Can't I just fast-forward to already being in my 40's already, lol? 😅 I just want to be done with this weird kind of feminine age limbo and this weirdo ageism kinda thing around it already. At least I could joke about basically being the goth version of a middle aged soccer mom then, lol. Best I can do in my 30's on that one is 'old hag' jokes. Either way...

I'm just tired, boss. 🤣 Given that one of my issues is C-PTSD; Didn't think I'd even make it to this age in the first place (and I'm still dealing with a BIG bout of 'Okay, I'm still alive, now what?' on that one), yet here we are, lol.

Rightie, hello tumblr! Welcome to my blog thingy! I’m Izzie, and I’m an Urban Explorer who’s teamed up with GhostHuntersUK once or twice in the past. Unfortunately I lost contact with them after they broke up, and there’s this video going around of… I think Melanie…? Anyways either she seriously pissed off the ghost in that area or she got a bit of Carbon Monoxide or something, because, uh… yeah. Probably should’ve used a gas mask over there, people didn’t exactly get the memo that poison was not a wall decoration at the time…

Anyways I still do urban exploration, and absolutely plan on posting about it here! That and other weird and cool shit I feel like yapping about. But uh, yeah! Izzie out!

——

Edit: ok so some shit’s gone down, I uh… I work at the Magnus institute now. Most of this stuff still holds up, but yeah, that’s a thing.

Welcome to Isla Connors’s blog, re-done and revamped! A few things before we set off;

This is a TMA roleplay blog, so spooky shit is bound to happen.

Izzie is 20 and probably aroace, Please don’t flirt with her.

magic anons are absolutely allowed :3

Yes, she’s still originally from America. Yes you can make jokes about it.

Right, with that out of the way… let’s get into it!

^^^^ the picrew I used to make her initially-

^^^^ the current PFP made by @iiinkos (thank you so much btw she looks amazing)

Tags are pretty much just Asks - Asks, Reblogs - reblogs, shitposting - shitposting. Special tags do show up though, like;

Abandonedposting - Urban Exploring shit (both reblogs and posts,)

Artifactposting - her ‘look at this cool thing I found’ tag

Spookyposting - ‘look at this cool thing I found’ but it’s an eldrich horror/supernatural entity

adding to the tagging list!!

old ass yaoi men - anything involving Jonah, barnabas, Simon, or Peter.

Spooky encounters - interacting with weird eldrich bullshit (not including just… interacting with people, I mean like the haunted circus thing or ending up in a domain or general spooky area)

Smirke’s Pokemon - she has a bit of a hyperfixation on weird architecture and historical yaoi, and that led her down a rabbit hole, so… she knows more about the Fears than she knows about… the Fears? In a way? Basically this is her ‘accidentally became well-versed in the Dread Powers to the point of literally using it as her tumblr name while not knowing that this shit is actually applicable to her life in any way’ tag.
