Cliff used to sing the BB's Theme to Sam while he was still in the Pod, right? And when Sam gets teleported to one of those battlefields and encounters Cliff, they both whistle the lullaby (just like that scene from Barbie as the Island Princess where Ro finds her mother /j).

In the memory where Cliff pretends to dance with Lisa, he says, "That's it, Lisa [...] Just like we used to..." and "Today is mommy's birthday," which suggests they probably danced on special occasions, another connection to music.

I like to imagine that Cliff (and possibly Lisa, too) used to listen to the Raindrops song, which makes sense given the dates, because according to the timeline I follow, he was born in the 70s.

Conclusion: This family was really into music, and I'm just dumping these infos because the idea of Cliff singing the Raindrops song to baby Sam, and later Sam singing to baby Lou, IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN THE WORLD AND I LOVE FAMILY DYNAMICS!!!!!!!!!1 AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGgHHHHHHHHHHH

Oh yes, and we can also imagine that every time a song starts playing in the open world, it's Sam's mind doing just like we do when we're riding in a car or bus with headphones on, and we start imagining a really cool AMV or movie scene while admiring the scenery. Bro is just like us fr.

Now going into the self-indulgent topic bcs this is why this blog exists: The fact that I'm two decades older than Sam is funny because sometimes I find myself imagining us both having a silly argument over something dumb, and then I, with my miserable height and twigs instead of arms, turn to that mature, bearded, graying man whose able to end someone with his bare hands and say:

Another thing that made me feel quite down is that yesterday I found out that an irl 'friend' found and followed one of my selfship accounts, and I wanted to die because I felt extremely exposed lol... Even now, I can't talk to him the same way. I thought it was quite shitty of him to just follow me there without saying anything. We're mutuals on my normal acc, and that one was clearly personal and not meant for people like him (hence why I never shared it)... There's no way in hell he doesn't know it's me, and it just makes it worse because his attitude is like a subtle "Oh, hey. Found your cringe ;)" Anyway, don't trust social media algorithms like Instagram or that damn Tiktok, they can and will expose you, block your acquaintances asap xP
