LMFAOOO I don't know to be honest. Drawing Joe as the muppet seemed like the funniest option for the doodle so that's what I went with, but I have had truly zero serious thoughts about android juppet LFNSKFNSJF

ive been listening to far too much Android 24 playlist bc artfight and dang do all the songs fit so well!!!! been storyboarding one for………..reasons but i was curious abt the lore behind a few songs, particularly Ego and the All Eyes on Me’s if youre willing to share

ive been imagining Phoenixs All Eyes on Me as during the height of the Evil Empire but i got nothin on Bo Burnhams All Eyes on me

STORYBOARDING ???? Okay first of all you’re insane for that /pos (you want me to die. Badly)

second of all, Ego is. Um. So RTJDFGHCGJK It’s like. Easily the most devastating song on Xisuma’s playlist (okay actually maybe not but)—it represents an extremely specific scene and moment to me from season 8 that unfortunately I can’t get into because I would DIE to be able to do a comic for it at some point (and honestly, I have an animatic/animation in my head too but that’s for me to contemplate another day) and I don’t want to spoil it, but I guess what I can say is, Ego is the. Idk. All of 24’s tension and frustrations coming to a head? But maybe that’s obvious from the nature of the song itself—it goes back and forth between xisuma and 24 I think, with 24 being the verses and the ending monologue, and Xisuma being the choruses? So hopefully that kind of gives you my mental image <3

And then I think, Phoenix’s All Eyes on Me is a follow-up to Ego, where 24 is like. Doubling down on his control ? (Thinking, from the pre-chorus bits: “Didn’t I tell you then? Didn’t I tell you not to stutter? [and] All Eyes on me, I said, I’m not that innocent [and] Didn’t I let you win? Didn’t I make it so much better? Didn’t I, didn’t I, didn’t I?”) and this is I think 24 relishing in the power of his control right before the big moon like, starts making his powers weaken and stuff (a la canon—I haven’t really gotten into the weeds of how all of that makes sense in dbhc yet though so uhhh gestures vaguely)

And then, Bo Burnham’s All Eyes on Me is like. I think a bitter echo of the previous all eyes on me song—a bitter a heavy reminder of everything 24 had before the season came to an abrupt end and he lost everything. I don’t know that 24 comes out of season 8 feeling particularly like. That he “won”? Considering the server got destroyed and he didn’t get to keep his control until the end, So I think this all eyes on me feels like. His circumstances mocking him?? him feeling sorry for himself, scrapping for the feelings of control and power he once had… it’s supposed to feel very empty and tragic in that sense, and I think it also feels like he’s remembering every “slight” against him in this moment… idk like. Everything Ever is coming back to haunt him once the season is over and done with. That kind of vibe

NO THIS IS SO REALL FBJDFHNCGHM also ily for listening to his playlist this is wonderful and delightful news to me ty <3333
