what IS your thesis about? from the list of items im kinda imagining it's something about different communication styles relating to conveying information? (something something gaylor theory and TJLC as conspiracy vs a more authoritative but absurd documentary style with pannenkoek vs fanfiction making fans confuse canon with fanon vs reddit memes as some kind of "you're normal for thinking this"?) like that is an absurdly wide range of Things. what is he cooking ‼️

hehehe omg i did not expect to get multiple asks about this! paging @scatteredcloud and @the-rad-paramecium , who also asked about it.

my thesis is about the 2022 "nier church incident" wherein a user on the nier automata subreddit started posting extremely-credible videos claiming he'd found a new secret area in the game that no one had discovered before, and the fanbase went absolutely insane. i argue that the incident provides an interesting window into a possible religious studies framework for looking at video game secret seeking as a quasi-religious act of communal orientation and meaning-making

it's very fun to read your speculations about how all the stuff i mentioned could fit into it! unfortunately, most of that stuff is just mentioned in 1-2 sentences; the meat of the fun stuff is mostly related to nier automata, shadow of the colossus, or The Bible.

but, as requested, here is how all the silly things fit:

i use pannenkoek's video as an example of fans pushing the boundaries of games to create new mysteries that weren't intended by the developers. this is specifically in my section about how/why video game mysteries affect people emotionally!

gaylor theory & the johnlock conspiracy are both examples of (non-game) fanbases doing theorycrafting. fnaf/matpat is an example of video game fandom theorycrafting. all of these get like, a sentence each in the project

"hollow knight fanfiction" is because i use the hk fic "stag beetles and broken legs" as an example of fans writing fanfic based on fanfic (in the section where i talk about canon-building)

"kirby lore controversies" is also from the part where i talk about canon-building. specifically, i have a whole paragraph about how hard it often is to tell what video game "canon" is, and use kirby as an example of that

sorry there's actually only one reddit meme! the other one is a twitter meme. anyway, the reddit meme is this:

finally, random other fact: probably the funniest social media post ive had to cite is this one

like, it's extremely funny to have a bibliography that sometimes looks like this:

(please ignore the weird capitalization idk why zotero does that)

Best food you ate this year?

my family and i rarely go out to eat, but for my mom’s birthday we went to a sushi restaurant we hadn’t been to before, and the sushi was fantastic. like literally some of the best sushi i’ve ever had. my favorite was this roll i cant remember the name of, but it had a lot of avocado and was served with eel sauce. delicious.

[helloladder]

Judas from JesusChrist Superstar? Or if you haven’t seen JCS uhhhh what about uh the Opera from Lady at the Opera?

"Scattered Clouds on the sky" It's all start from here The moment that I got my admission to the university in the US, I decided to fly over 7500 miles (12000 km) from my home country Taiwan to the east side of America I believe pretty much everyone on the plane were asleep, however, I was not. As I recall, I cried for almost five times. It wasn't like freaking out or insanely going mad. I was just suddenly realized and stressed out about the fact that I was not only giving up all my chances to hang out with my friends in the following years but have to adapt to a brand new environment. Without my beloved friends and family around and the absence of all my favorite restaurants in my life. Despite all those, I opened the window. Wow! The sky is much more deeper than I have ever seen in my entire life. Along with the scattered clouds, my tears dropped a bit. The blue in the sky, that was where I at. I figured that only when I thoroughly frustrated myself can I be reborn as a better me. All of my besties shall be delighted for me. As for my family, they can't be more supportive. What am I anxious about? Just go for it! I said to myself.
