нalғ-dooмed.
IT'S SO GOOD ISN'T IT
curby&coughing
i'm kind of ?????????? about it right now because like... it's ok but I guess I'm getting too used to this surreal type of show because none of the big reveals are landing
curby&coughing
it's like. oh the kids are animals. oh. giant beast in the forest. of course
curby&coughing
im sort of waiting for the heavy lore/more plot to kick in tbh
curby&coughing
but the characters are cute and im quickly becoming more invested in Wirt so we'll see how this goes
нalғ-dooмed.
hohohoohoho
curby&coughing

Curdy&Comfy

curby&coughing
i was so fucking scared
Curdy&Comfy
I knew he was going to be all right and I cried anyway
curby&coughing
I WAS SO WORRIED
big ol metaphor
you better believe i pointed out the dante shit
big ol metaphor
also i was thinking about it and i think the major thing that surprised me was finding out that they were from the 80's like that's NOT APPARENT if you go intot he show blind
big ol metaphor
but yeah bro i wrote about wirt and anxiety and beatrice and lorna and guilt
big ol metaphor
and fandom stuff!
Curdy&Comfy
The 80s thing was SUCH a fantastic reveal, I loved it so much
ash hole
the loveliest...lies...of all
curby&coughing
LITERALLY like the whole thing was like. wth
ash hole
so good
Billie Sue 🌻
here u go
Billie Sue 🌻
also thoughts on the beast and it liks to more meta from this person on the unknown, beatrice, and THE TURTLES YOU NEVER GOT AN ANSWER TO
Billie Sue 🌻
WAIT SORRY the pilot link was broken ugh CN must have taken it down
Billie Sue 🌻
THOSE JERKS
Billie Sue 🌻
what else do I have in my wirt reference folder...
Billie Sue 🌻
a neat interview with Pat McHale that talks about some stuff that got cut
Billie Sue 🌻
the special edition one-shot otgw comic please read this it's like 80% wirt thinking in purple prose
Billie Sue 🌻
There's a 4-issue comic series too, and now there's an ongoing one that's been featuring a greg storyline and woodsman's daughter storyline +-+
Billie Sue 🌻
I spent like two weeks trying to figure out what the hell the poster was on wirt's wall and it's this thing look at this nerd child
Billie Sue 🌻
I'm digging through my otgw tag I'm sure I've got more meta posts around
curby&coughing
bless you honestly
Billie Sue 🌻
just in case no one's screamed at you about pottsfield
Billie Sue 🌻
pen made a really great AMV and I'm going to embarrass her and link it
Billie Sue 🌻
ash hole
Billie Sue 🌻
8 )))
Billie Sue 🌻
NOT META BUT IT'S MY FAVORITE FUCKIGN SHIT POST ALKSJDLAKSJDLA
Billie Sue 🌻
honorable mention for favorite shit post
curby&coughing
thank god someone did this great writeup on the dante's inferno parallels bc THIS WAS HOW I FELT A LOT
Billie Sue 🌻
why jason funderberker is the total package aka anxiety meta
Billie Sue 🌻
Garden Falls this is the greatest comic it's so pretty and the concept is REALLY FUCKING UPSETTING
big ol metaphor
it is probably not as good or interesting but i can send my thesis anyone who wants to read it
Billie Sue 🌻
shush your thesis is great
big ol metaphor
IT'S LONG THO
Billie Sue 🌻
shot for shot comparison to Sleepy Hollow
curby&coughing
I HAVE READ MANY LONG THINGS
Billie Sue 🌻
this made me think of your initial reaction there
curby&coughing
this is so many links holy shit
curby&coughing
also that post is me af
Billie Sue 🌻
this is from pat McHale's tumblr and it's fascinating as hell
Billie Sue 🌻
I MEAN. I HAVE A LOT OF FEELINGS
Billie Sue 🌻
and this is skipping like 90% of the art
Billie Sue 🌻
OH WAIT I HAVE SOMETHING ELSE YOU NEED
Billie Sue 🌻
okay so you know how he made a tape for Sara
Billie Sue 🌻
that. That tape exists.
Billie Sue 🌻
it got realized as a special edition thing and some kind soul put it on the internet
curby&coughing
omfg
curby&coughing
it terrible
Sir Daye
Fun story the whole total package thing is one thing people use for arguing wirt is gay or bi cause he sure thinks Jason finder beret is great
Sir Daye
That was autocorrect I'm not fixing it
нalғ-dooмed.
jason finder beret
Sir Daye
Anyway that theory is why when at our ic Halloween party where Koji was wirt and I was dipper I broke character and cracked up when she started calling him that
Billie Sue 🌻
I WENT ON AND ON IIRC
Billie Sue 🌻
AND ON
Billie Sue 🌻
SIDE A
Billie Sue 🌻
SIDE B
Billie Sue 🌻
TRANSCRIPTS
Billie Sue 🌻
It....is and isn't terrible. I like it a lot tbh and I don't think it's actually BAD but it is very melodramatic teenager at times
Billie Sue 🌻
I think it's neat that tbh most of the poems aren't jsut him going on and on about how pretty sara is and how he loves her - it's all his thoughts and feelings and him sharing part of himself and it's like
Billie Sue 🌻
very personal?
Billie Sue 🌻
ALSO AT THE END OF SIDE A
Billie Sue 🌻
ALLLL THE WAY AT THE END, PAST WHERE HE SAYS IT'S OVER
Billie Sue 🌻
it starts up again and you learn that Wirt taped over...what's probably him and his father, when he was a baby
Billie Sue 🌻
BECAUSE, YOU KNOW
Billie Sue 🌻
YOU DIDN'T NEED YOUR HEART OR ANYTHING
Billie Sue 🌻
plus the full demo of that adorable cloud city song if you ever wanted to know all the words
curby&coughing
oh nice owo
curby&coughing
gosh this is so much I NEED TO SHOWER AND EAT BUT THANK U
Billie Sue 🌻
I solved a mystery and was very proud of myself that day
Billie Sue 🌻
I thiiiiink that's all the meta stuff I have in my tag anyway? I'll keep poking it but I think everything else is fanworks
curby&coughing
thank you omg
Billie Sue 🌻
NO PROBLEM I am always here for dragging people into otgw hell
Billie Sue 🌻
I'll send more along if I find them/think of them
Billie Sue 🌻
also if you were really into the music and have like $10 to spend, the DVD is worth getting because it has a composer's cut version of the show which is literally just a music-only version of it
Billie Sue 🌻
and it's fantastic I wish literally every show and movie had a composer's cut version
curby&coughing
ooooh that's neat
Billie Sue 🌻
oh I do have one last thing but it's more music
Billie Sue 🌻
so episode nine, when they're ~home~ has two songs in it and they're both INCREDIBLE dupes for real songs
Billie Sue 🌻
Little Black Train - Woody Guthrie
<- this one is DAMN NEAR IDENTICAL except the words are slightly different
Billie Sue 🌻
I remember when I stumbled on it I was like "wtf wait these aren't the words"
Billie Sue 🌻
and then the opening song is a dupe for Ballrooms of Mars
Billie Sue 🌻
T. Rex - Ballrooms Of Mars
Billie Sue 🌻
*opening of episode 9 I mean
curby&coughing
oh nice!
Billie Sue 🌻
okay now I'm done. For reals this time
Billie Sue 🌻
enjoy your 23498739842 links and I'll enjoy not being beaten up over M!Wirrt 8 )
curby&coughing
fine. fine. u get off this one time 
Billie Sue 🌻
HOORAY 
curby&coughing
DON'T THINK IM NOT WATCHING U
Billie Sue 🌻
LOOK I'M SORRY I ENJOY MY UPSETTING MIRROR CONCEPT WAY TOO MUCH
Billie Sue 🌻
someday he's gonna realize it's sure not greg in there 
curby&coughing
AND ON THAT DAY: FUCKING SUFFERING
MOVING
this entire plurk is gold
curby&coughing
OK GOD I NEED TO GO SHOWER I'VE DISTRACTED MYSELF FOR A WHOLE HOUR WITH THESE LINKS SHIT
Billie Sue 🌻
YES GO DO THAT
Billie Sue 🌻
and when you come back have an upsetting Undertale crossover
ash hole
Jdkslajfjelajdbdkskwk
ash hole
You leave my amv out of this 
Billie Sue 🌻
NO IT'S GREAT :>
ash hole
Weh
big ol metaphor
https://www.dropbox.com/s/pkpeylohbhqs9zj/DuQuaine%20Thesis%20Final.pdf?dl=0 a link if anyone wants it orz
ash hole
also the song the frog sings is basically 
Leonard Cohen - Take this waltz
Billie Sue 🌻
oh my god I didn't know that one
ash hole
did you link anything about the cab calloway bettie boop cartoons
ash hole
GOD OLD CARTOONING IS SO FASCINATING
Billie Sue 🌻
omg I meant to but then I couldn't find the post
curby&coughing
WOW THAT UNDERTALE CROSSOVER IS PAIN
big ol metaphor
anyone found anything about the fact that adelaide and auntie whispers are played by two men who are famous for crossdressing
big ol metaphor
i briefly touched on it in my thesis and when i pointed it out to my director she was like GASP WHAT THAT WAS THEM???
big ol metaphor
and was really excited about the gender play going on there
curby&coughing
yoooooo that's COOL
big ol metaphor
(i'm laughing because i don't know if she even realized they were men???)
big ol metaphor
but yeah john cleese and tim curry man
curby&coughing
holy shit one of them was tim curry???????
big ol metaphor
yep! auntie whispers!
big ol metaphor
he sounds different which i think might be because he'd had his stroke by that point
big ol metaphor
i read a lot about old cartoons for my thesis too, especially since chapter 1 is basically a huge comparison to scooby doo
curby&coughing
omg that's amazing
big ol metaphor
