I love the reveal in Over the Garden Wall that the story isn't actually set in the past but that Wirt has been going through this whole adventure in a shitty last minute Halloween costume he threw together and only half intended for other people to see him wearing. Imagine travelling through a creepy magical forest that seems to be stuck in the 1800s for several days while being hunted by an evil shadowy tree man who wants your soul but you're wearing an old power ranger mask from 2008 and a cape that's just a beach towel. That's pretty much what Wirt's outfit is equivalent to and that's such a big mood
While I absolutely love the black eyes headcanon, and I find it uber-creative and fun, I don't think that at this point America has quote unquote "no culture of his own". All the memes we see outside of the US, all the little and big things going on there, the quirks specific just for them, their holidays, thats already a culture baby!!!! Just a starting one, barely forming, but its there, and its very, very american.
Of course there are typical American tropes :D and I absolutely ADORE the American insider jokes/ for example between the states !! That’s the funniest !!!
Though what America has become is still a country that combines all. From the Second World War with many refugees arriving- to the different immigrants that still arrive today- America has become so colorfully mixed :D tbh i looove that!!!
Sure lately the government has been the absolute worst there- also a reason why America with the sunglasses exist;;;
All I want to say is- having black eyes doesn’t have mean bad- or lack of personality,,, in America’s case it can actually mean that they’re super unique …! They just don’t realize it.
i’m so used to the memes i forgot people don’t usually see them outside of the U.S.
