Anxiety Manifested

the backrooms are simply not as scary conceptually if there is Something In Them

the whole reason why they're so unnerving is BECAUSE there's nothing in them!! because they're unrelentingly liminal and lonely and uncomforting. there shouldn't be a monster guy in there chasing you. you should glimpse other humans (?) from a distance but they walk away before you can close the gap and then they're gone. things should run away from YOU. do u get it

"and there was a MONSTERowooowwohhhh" the monster is isolation and banal beige sameness and uncanny valley architecture. you fool. you rube. you're putting a hat on a hat and the second hat is not only unnecessary but it ruins the first hat!!!!!!! "there's a monster in there" great so now it's just another place for a monster to be. ridiculous

oh my god Rocky has survivor's guilt

This is such a cool concept! I do kind of wonder how LBH fits into all of this though? Like, maybe he's still SJ's disciple, but he's actually kiond of a conniving snake type of character? Or maybe he's the sort of character who dies tragically young? IDK a lot of interesting ideas to play with here

screaming crying throwing up oh my god I want to eat the art so baaaaad

DUDE

reblogging for SJ post transmigration lmao

The strange relationship Wei Wuxian has with Mo Xuanyu absolutely kills me. Wakes up in a confusing place and the very first thing he does is go through every scrap of paper he can find and learn the story of the man who gave up his body for him. Puts everything on pause so he can mentally curse out the people who did this to him. The instant sympathy. It's about the human connection and the grief felt for the very person whose death is the very reason he has a second chance. Never forget that the reason Wei Wuxian snapped back to Jin Ling was because he felt he had to defend Mo Xuanyu's honor. It's never an angst Wei Wuxian feels, but instead a reaching across to the afterlife he just came from and saying "I see you. If no one else in your shitty life ever spoke up for you, then I will." The series doesn't spend too much time lingering on it because we have places to go and people to see, but the fact that before he did any of that, the first thing Wei Wuxian wanted to do was wash their face and simply acknowledge the life of a man who died too young.

I honestly wish there was more written about this because it's what actually hooked me on the story initially. The way that it acknowledged Mo Xuanyu and his life was fascinated to me. I wish I could find more fics where he got to live in some way.

Omg they're so cute!!! I would love it if Morty made friends with the other mortys

You know somehow I never actually thought of that as an interpretation for the character. It makes so much sense I can't believe it never occurred to me!

I like the lil pompoms on his shoes

i’m going to be really honest with you guys i think the tendency to read the absolute worst possible intentions into every action you don’t agree with is getting too automatic and it’s eating you from the inside out

Same ngl. Like. People arent always trying to be shitty! I want to believe in humanity so bad, and it's hard, but I promise having faith in others won't always hurt.

Okay but i would read this

I feel like they'd meet and WWX would offer him a drink and some life advice about how men ain't shit

I feel like this is just my family during every major holiday
