    i mean, i have seen many naive anarchists who think “everyone has a garden” and “hi, my favourite hobby is making paracetamol in my garage!” are substitutes for organized agriculture and medical manufacturing…

    mostly on social media. but then again, this is a social media post too.

    it’s based on a joke from the watchmen, that got really popular online recently for some reason

    Man goes to doctor. Says he’s depressed. Says life seems harsh and cruel. Says he feels all alone in a threatening world where what lies ahead is vague and uncertain. Doctor says, “Treatment is simple. Great clown Pagliacci is in town tonight. Go and see him. That should pick you up.” Man bursts into tears. Says, “But doctor…I am Pagliacci.”


  • imo, this is clearly a tumblr take, and one that was born in reaction to the other common tumblr take made by people who only care about children’s media and leftist theory, which is “beloved nostalgic animated series is actually secretly super progressive and leftist actually”, itself born out as a reaction to “beloved nostalgic animated series is kinda bigoted in some places tbh”

    a fedi take would be “voting in elections or organizing revolution? this is a fake choice, neither lead to freedom. the only way to attain freedom is using linux.”


  • my interpretation is that kris is so empty and hollow following the events of chapter 4’s weird route, that there is simply nothing crossing their mind when interacting with stuff. they’re feeling nothing, and so you don’t get any flavor text. it’s representative of how kris is feeling.

    in a more meta way, i think it’s also meant to reference creepypastas (where “there’s nothing where you’d expect stuff to be” is a common trope), and going out of bounds in general, where there’s often not flavor text because you’re not meant to interact with the stuff there. the chapter 5 weird route in general is about going oob, so maybe that’s a foreshadowing.

    at least, that’s how i interpret it!
