#autistic susan my beloved

[idkaguyorsomething]

the writers for classic who went “hmmm, how can we ensure that susan has something to do in this arc we’re writing 🤔” and their solution was to make a planet of psychic aliens that get easily overstimulated and have face blindness that the main characters need to negotiate with.

Mum’s doing an informal thesis on Susan Sto Helit in Soul Music and she’s currently editing it down from a gazillion words to something readable.

We were hanging out while she’s taking a break from editing and I said to sis “soooo hehehe, guess what? a lot of readers headcanon Susan as autistic” and she goes HOOOOOOOOOOOOOO and we do finger guns at each other and are laughing about. Mum just wants to know why Susan would read as autistic and I give a bunch of reasons and she’s furiously typing them into her document then sis and I are like “okay okay guess we should explain to you why we think that’s so funny and relatable" and suddenly neither of us could find words. I managed to babble out something about androids and aliens as being more relatable to me than the heros in some stories which is not really true and it’s bothering me that i said that.

There’s a phrase right? something like egg cracking character but not for gender. Things that you look at in hindsight and go “ah. yes. indeed. goodness gracious how did nobody catch that*?!”

*In my case, I was diagnosed by a pediatrician with dyspraxia and “problems focusing” who said to 1/ absolutely not tell me and 2/ disregard the diagnosis “because labels cause kids (and their parents) to not push through their problems, falling back on the excuse of their diagnosis” 👀

It’s not blorbo, blorbo is beloved but not necessarily the character that reflects something of you (want to protect) and also representation (derogatory) when it’s your cringe parts that you havent yet really accepted.

What key words am I missing? it’s usually headcanons not explicit representation and often retroactive as in you didn’t realise you were this or that at the time or your didn’t know that multiple people who are this or that also felt like this character was important. hmm.

What the word for egg cracking or gay awakening but neurodivergence?

THE WALTEN FILES: my jumbled notes on my blind run-in with this web series

first off this is gonna be long and unorganized, also this is my second time writing this as i had lost literally half of my progress and im This (imagine two fingers almost touching with a 0.0000000001mm distance between them) close to ripping all of the fucking hair out of my goddamn head. but now this will be extra long and yes, i will lose some accuracy to my first writing but thats okay ill probably edit this a kajillion times over

which brings me to my next tangent; im literally braindumping here. so to have a smidge of organization all afterthoughts, edits and corrections will be boldened, i forgot what im gonna do with italicized text but ill probably bolden it here yeah im pretty sure its for side tangents, separate from Corrections, which are in bold. also theyre for emphasis too.

so in general, this post right here is all of my notes i wrote down on my grid-patterned sticky notes (which i used WAYYYY too much of) about the first 3 uploaded walten files youtube videos transferred onto my handy dandy digital notebook, this b(l)og. yeppers peppers. you know im serious about this shit when i typed probably over like a thousand fucking words including boldened shit, italicized shit and motherfucking links, lost it ALL, and im sitting here re-typing it again.

i feel bad about this but im not gonna trigger warn right here, but this is technically a warning. if you want a list of triggers as to what this post (and the walten files in general) i will link a little list to that here

without further a doo doo, (mama mia) here the fucking fuck we go again.

THE WALTEN FILES - VIDEO #1

clarifying this now, im gonna put some useless shit which i thought was code onto this because even though it was useless it was part of my notes and im physically going to combust if i dont put down every single thing i wrote on my papers. so what i thought was code was in the closed captions, i started writing it down when i got to the second video but came back to my first videos notes to include them. i wrote down the first letter to every word that was capitalized in the closed captions, which i had on as a default because number one i knew going into this id need them because most web horror things like args and cryptic shit like that has some of the most crucial shits in the closed captions. number two i am autistic and have auditory processing issues and have most closed captioning on as a default if theyre available.

firstly jotted, i wrote down the closed captions “code” so im gonna put the rest here too: HYWITB(BSI)Y A(BSI)BJWFKWITW ILHHFSBBSBTLBWI USOISTBNBSFIRBCAWHSHCBWHTAIGRNB*C*BTWLTSFA(20)MCFP ILITIIACPH(1978, 1979)SA(4)YTSCH*C*OGSSU SFTGRPATDBBUTFBNLLCHMIHLBRALLCLAYTUKB*LC*WHATWASTHATTHING 

the numbers in parenthesis are there because i wasnt sure they should be included in the “code” or not. i also thought of this with the BSI - bunny smiles incorporated and also the years 1978 and 1979. the shits in asterisks are coughs and light coughs, which were capitalized in the closed captions so i included them too just in case

i then jotted, in parenthesis of course, the names of the animatronics when they were listed in the animation section of the video; bon aka the blue bunny, sha aka the sheep one, boozoo aka the clown<3 honk<33, and banny aka the purpled eyelashed up one who is also a bunny btw. also i got boozoo the clown and boozoo the mustache guy confused because apparently the clowns name is billy???? but they named “boozoo” in bons sleepover and showed the clown? idk maybe im an idiot and theyre the same or just an idiot and theyre different or a super mega (matt and ryan?!?!??) idiot in general which is probably the case

i started drawing little stars to write down things i thought would be super important or to 100% look at again. the first subject of this pointy torture was the part of the video where at 3:00, i marked it down to make sure to reverse the audio as it was most definitely a weird audio that has that signature warp-y effect that makes sure you KNOW its in reverse. i then listened back to it Very carefully (still got it wrong) and got this: “you finally start to remember. that old doll. they will look out for you soon” im also pretty sure i heard “sophie” at the end of that audio but im not entirely sure and dont remember and i dont wanna go back to check lmfao but anyways it didnt matter because i was wrong anyway. after i had finished all 3 walten files i watched the film theory video on the walten files (which didnt cover all 3 but was dece.) out of curiosity and to hear matpats signature silly little voice explain some stuff i already knew, and click some shit in my brain that i couldve thought up of if i was a bit more... i dont know honestly. anyways yeah so the actual audio is “you finally start to remember. that old day. they will look out for you soon.” so yeah. day, not doll.

i then wrote down “sarah evelyn”, the name on the bons sleepover animation (i dont remember if she created it or animated it or whatnot) and scribbled will she matter? under her name. turns out no, as i didnt see her name in the rest of the series, let alone the first video. this is also a great time to mention how matpat theory helped me realize that the walten files are collections of videos, uploaded onto youtube by anthony. (i already knew about anthony as he signed his name in the descriptions of the youtube videos, making me categorize this overall web series more into an arg type genre.) but yes, the tapes, recorded “irl” footage, animated clips, vhs tape recordings and other audio-visual content is all collected and labeled the walten files, as i had mistaken each video to be a tape. stupid me. alrighty, onward!

i starred this one, good for me; MISSING: Jack Walten LAST SEEN: 06/11/1974

i jotted down with an arrow that; sophie was a nightguard? she was wearing the uniform explained in tape 2 i dont know why but i went back into my video 1 notes after i had watched video 2. organization purposes. i guess.?? 

i then paused the video when the screen flickered a date, the beginning of video footage dated 10/10/1982 (Brian Stells?) god my little genius ass assuming the videographer was brian stells, based on the id card i saw earlier.

i then wrote down what text i saw on the dead, mangled, bloody body in the purple security suit; “i cant feel anything” “he thought i was her” then drew a little arrow pointing to; thought brian was sophie? or ashley? i also starred the name Brian Stells this is totally out of order LMFAOOOOOOOO also i wrote down ashley because, again, my little pea brain went back on my video 1 notes after watching video 2. but yep thats all i wrote for The Walten Files 1 - Company Introductory Tape

THE WALTEN FILES - VIDEO #2 

Tape #1 - created 07/02/1978

awesome how thats first and foremost in the captions. god. so sexy of you martin walls. /j /nsx

this pack of notes is chunkier because again, like i have mentioned before i am an absolute goober and thought the capitalized letters of the words would actually mean something. I MEAN MAYBE THEY DO AND IM JUST DOING IT WRONG but i stopped doing it after this video because holy shit it was exhausting and my stupid little fingers couldnt take the writing anymore becasue i am WEAK. 

so write off the bat (squeak) i wrote down 197[] the blacked out rectangle over the last digit of that year and everything im also now assuming its probably 1978 or 1974 because lore reasons but whos to say but yeah i also wrote down this;

Tape #2 - created 08/13/1978

then, straight up in the beginning of the video i caught it, the flash of text, as i had by now realized i gotta be SUPER stupid focused on the screen in case i miss anything, i wanted to be crazy precise on my theorizing and mental notes, among other things. but yes i saw it, the first half of a youtube link;  “https://youtu” 

claps hands together and rubs them evilly. oh yeah baby. thats the hot lunch. this shit right here? the cats pajamas. lets fucking go.

i wrote down this goofy shit i pasued to inspect when i saw bon sorting through a file cabinet and naturally scribbled down the labels and other written things i could see on the files; 

relocate X/X/75 felix

storage K-9 07/23/1975 felix k(ranken)

Bons Burgers 06/28/1974 Jack Walten

Shipping Service 1975

New Location -> 1982

i also wrote down more goofy shit, like when banny was created for some reason; in 1974

starred, i noted to go back and reverse the audio at 5:09, when played back, i didnt write it down so i dont remember. lmao.

i also marked to screenshot and brighten the darkened image i saw at 5:20, i was going to do it on my phone then realized i can just do it on my computer so i quickly took a screenshot, brightened it and wrote down what i saw; a missing person poster that read MISSING: SUSAN WOODINGS(?) Last seen: 1974 i was very unsure of the spelling of her last name because the image was so goddamn low quality and grainy but its what i saw. this is where tape #3 gets thrown in, which im gonna type again because i like how the formatting looks;

Tape #3 - created 07/09/1978 (BEFORE tape 2?!//1/1??? its more likely than you think)

i wrote down more dates, any dates i saw, i jotted down. i wrote; 

Technical Support 1978 

then, 

Brian Stells (for some reason i dont remember right now)

alrighty this is where the stupid capitalized letters come in, but before it looks like i vomit a keysmash time infinity on this, ill put down the little inbetween things i wrote in the midst of the caps lockalypse like timestamps and stuff, so here you go;

- Reverse at 8:16 which i did but of course didnt write down what i heard. i think it was too warbled to hear anything clear out of it, or it was just the good ol auditory processing issues fucking me over yet again. WAIT yep yes i did here it is: “rosemary would go to the restaurant every night hoping that [her] beloved husband would reappear after being missing for weeks but no response until one day [s]he heard a voice [saying] ‘i know where he is rosie’ coming from the back stage” the bracketed stuff is the corrections, i misheard the audio and thought the audio said “his”, “he” and “singing” like a nimrod

- Brighten at 10:14 which was another missing person poster, but i dont think it had any information on it because i didnt write it down, just;

- Sophie again (pic at 9:08?) (dismemberd and put in Sha) i was stupid and wrong haha idiot it was rosemary who was put in sha but anywho

i starred and underlined a huge thing i discovered which was;

- Walten had 3 kids which i dont remember how i found out but it doesnt matter, its good important info i uncovered.

- Tape #4 - Unkown Date

- recorded 07/12-07/14 1978 

- Hilary B, Ashley P & Kevin W i made sure to get these names down as soon as i saw them on screen but then realized shortly after i wouldnt really need to have it as the closed captions made sure i knew which person was talking by using their first initial (capitalized of course) before each line of text. this is the perfect time to announce the arrival of the clusterfuck of capital letters, which is going to include colons which will indicate that the letter before it is the initial of the person talking. without further aedue, here comes another chinese earthquake;

TCWTSTATO(K-9)TBSSFWFCNEHAWBSUBIUC(BSIIDC)OWHISF INBIJTILNSPL(K-9)LCSCKCCCWTTLTLITTTYROTFAJAMHPYYSTCSPMBBWSBIB H:NTPPCCK:DA:HH:YCPRPMWTCBCRAWK:JH:SYYTCPBACPSTBAWCA:TK(?):FMTTCMK:TCPNOA:DTOFK:ITNPPRA:YBUTIRRFH:HKIBESRAIA:TCK:WA:WPCCFTRRIDPEH:GGK:GPA:LKK:WA:HNCGTKMK:YH:IGKA:ESK:MFH:RK:HILRLBNTRPPUWHITRRTPEIFEPH:YWBEBPK:MAHPBTRPTRPEL(LN)HTACPKLIKHPFITSKLTKLB(LB?)ISIBSUBIPRW AEBATHSPUAICTPURTWBBRPHTRTIIIILTCITCUCCP S(bpe, be)WA”IDCPBPSIB

holy shit its finally over okay now onto some MORE of what i wrote down in between and also after that keysmash attack;

12 doors? (backrooms) 27? 26? i was unsure because ashley was unsure too lmfao

found cassette (6/11/78) <- says “discard”? yeah it did

Tape in clown audio, speaking voice; jack, susan, charles(?), rosemary, sophie, last word sounds like “walrus” it was walten lmfao

Ashley died? yeah she did lmfao OR AT LEAST I THINK SO??

starred this one, Reverse @ 17:06, then got this;

“they left the next day, they thought ashley left early, but she was in the backdoors, screaming as much as she could, but no one heard the screams, the following days the caretakers would complain about an awful smell coming from the backdoors, company decided to shut down facility until new advice, the relocate project was unsuccessful. ashley is still there, but she is not screaming anymore, she saw something she wasnt supposed to see and now shes beautiful” the phrase “shes beautiful” was repeating like a bajillion times in that wall of text. then, god motherfuckng bless: 

at 17:23 i found the other half of the youtube link, “.be/k07QqEDOfQ” i pieced that bad boy together as instant as i think any form of ramen could never be, but remained ever patient. because i made sure to jot down this before moving onto my next segment;

@ end of vid 2, “shadow man sees* me when lights go off” im an idiot *it was actually “feeds” not “sees”, which AGAIN, i only found out after watching the stupid little film theory video *begins snarling and foaming at the mouth*

okay im not proud to admit im editing this to post it and realized ive lost my notes. well. 

might as well post what ive got! if i find my shit ill add onto this, i suppose.

Night Singing

Dedicated to grownups-are-the-real-monsters "When you walk away! You don't hear me say! Please, oh baby, don't go! Simple and Clean is the way That you're making me feel tonight It's hard to let it go". Stuart George Redman did not expect to be awoken in the middle of the goshdarn night by the sound of his crush belting out some pre-apocalyptic pop song to the high heavens. They were almost at Hemingford Home now, having just passed some town that seemed to be more cornfields than houses and didn't seem to have a population over the age of eighteen. Joe had fallen asleep next to Lucy and Fran, Tom Cullen and Nick Andros were off scouting ahead for resources with Susan and Dayna, Glen Bateman was burying his head in some novel about a Victorian love triangle (Glendon Pequod Bateman was the last person Stu would ever suspect of being a Paul Sheldon fan), Judge Ferris was maintaining their campfire, Nadine was sleeping sound for the first time in days, and Harold was off somewhere else because of an incident where he had gotten drunk on old beers while they were resting in a decaying old bar and proceeded to vomit all over Stu's clothes. And Lawson Jonathan Underwood was off singing. Loudly. And badly. Stu walked carefully up behind Larry and said "You know, it's a good thing Nick is deaf, cause otherwise he would downvote your song faster than you can say 'Simon Cowell'". Larry turned around and sighed. "It's not actually my song, Stu. It's from a video game called 'Kingdom Hearts'". "I've heard of it" Stu said, "Is that the one where you play as some kind of Old West gunslinger?" " No, Stu" Larry responded, "It's a crossover between Disney and Final Fantasy. Used to play those games all the time before what happened...happened". "Never played games as a kid" Stu said, "My mom could barely afford to keep our house, let alone buy us electronic playthings". "You missed out Stu my man" Larry said, "Man you missed out". "I guessed as much" Stu said, weeping a little at the thought of a world gone forever. Larry Underwood wrapped his arm around Stu Redman's broad back and tried to wipe away his future husband's tears. "Look Stu, I can't pretend everything's gonna be fine. I'd be legitimately surprised if there are more than like 2,000,000 folks left in the whole of America, and I'd be lying if I said the nightmares don't upset and horrify me just like they upset and horrify everyone else. However, I still hope everything will be okay in the end. Maybe we'll all become folk heroes to our descendants, like King Arthur or Wyatt Earp". "Sometimes, Larry, I wonder if we'll even make it through the next winter". "If our ancestors could survive with little more than spears and skins, Stuart my love, I think we can survive once we have a community". "To be fair, Lin-Manuel Springsteen" Stu responded, "Most of our Paleolithic ancestors wore far more clothing than your son". Larry burst out laughing and holding his head in his hands, the sounds of his mirth echoing through the wastelands around them. "Glad I made you laugh, Law" Stu said. "It wasn't just your joke, Stuart" Larry replied, "I also thought of something else. Before Captain Trips went down, there were all these ridiculous people who went around claiming vaccines caused their children to become autistic and thus they were willing to let their own freaking kids die rather than 'risk' them becoming neurodivergent. And now most of those dumbasses are deader than the dinosaurs while our little family of neurodivergent people survived and are set to build a new society out west". Stu thought about Larry's comments for a while and realised that over half of their group (Stu himself, Nick, Tom, Glen, Fran, Joe, possibly Lucy and/or Nadine) were somewhere on the Autism Spectrum (Stu had never been able to tell the difference between Asperger's and regular Autism) while Larry himself had talked earlier about his experiences with ADHD and how his mentor Rich Tozier had taught him to deal with it when he was a teenager in California. (The rebuilding of civilisation has fallen to the freaks and outcasts of the old world) All around Stu and Larry, the wind howled its mournful song and the coyotes sang their hymns to their beloved moon. The air was growing cold now, and soon it would be time for the travellers to get their rest before continuing inwards step by step and mile by mile to Boulder, Colorado. Stu and Larry walked together back to the spot where Stu had been sleeping before Larry awoke him and lay down together in the cool night air and upon the dusty ground. "You know Stu, I kinda came to hate 'Baby can you dig your man' over time. I'm proud of making it and I'm glad it caught on, but after a while it became the only thing people wanted to hear from me. Anytime I tried to do something more experimental or risky, the crowds would not let me do it until I'd sang that goddamn song. I'm kinda glad I no longer have to put up with those fans anymore". Stu chuckled at this comment. It made him remember why he had never cared for interacting with other people back in Arnette. "Good night, Law" Stu said. "Good night, Stuart" Larry replied as they fell asleep together, him and Stu holding hands as tight as they could.

Homeless Autistic Girl

Hey guys... this really kills me to ask, however right now I’m homeless at the moment.

Technology, I’m living with a long time friend who is hounding me to find a job since she believes it’s just so damn easy and move out by The end of February. I’ve put out application after application and only maybe a couple have called back for an interview. Only for them to tell me the same exact thing over and over, “You don’t seem like you will do well for this job.” With out even giving me a garsh darn chance to show them I’m willing to work my butt off.

Yet, they hire people who are literally ALLERGIC to manual labor, and pay them twice the wage to appease them so they don’t get sued. It pisses me off. I have Autism and PTSD, I watched my mother and fathers beloved dog get run over by a car, I know these people have mommy and daddy’s that coddle them. My parents died on September 22, 2013. My sister’s threw me out in the cold and said I’m on own. I’m still here, sadly. Not one day goes by and I don’t think about giving up and killing myself. Love to give that bayberry (under a new name) Bitch and all the rest what they wanted in the first place! With heartless pieces off shit like them in this world, I definitely don’t feel it’s worth the aggravation!

You push, you kick, you fight, you bite, you bunch, but guess what you end up someone else’s lunch! It’s survival of the fittest and you’ve won the game if you have Money, Fame, and/or Power! Just 1 on these gives you the right to control poor peoples lives!

You can play the advocate for good all day, but turning a blind eye to the innocent people that are truly in pain by the very people you are advocating for. Who’s the real villain? Saying the people who did nothing deserve it because someone said its poetic revenge... read a book. Get your facts straight, you really think they would attack now? Why didn’t they attack back then? People don’t postpone revenge -_-...

(if I had a grudge against a person, I’d want to get them now, not expect my descendants to attack his descendants. 1. How do I know if they’ll follow through? 2. What if everything is patched up and my other descendants didn’t know that and still desire to take their revenge? (They don’t even know what the whole argument is about... could be about stealing the last slice of pizza) This is about taking over the world just like before! We stopped them once! They’re trying again, however they fooled you!)

So with politics, islamphopia (more like not wanting an ideology of woman haters who desire to take over any free country and turn it to a world of oppression and insanity), racism (a political term used when a white person doesn’t agree with you), feminist (because women are oppressed because they have tits and a vigina), fatphopia (because veggies don’t taste like cake, if they did we’d still become fat, why? Because we’d get sick of sweets and want savory tasting veggies that you only get from cake... oh the irony), LBGT without Q (Queers are just feminist men who are really flamboyant gays... and real gays try to avoid, ever heard the term, “Queer as a Clock work Mouse.” Man I miss my English mother! The LBG, The Les, The Bi, and The Gay, do as you wish... Hey I’m you Bi, I find shapely girls just Be A U Ti Ful to draw, have to get that full body motion. Gays, love ya, best guy friends and you give perfect fashion advice, Lesbians, you’re very easy going and easy to talk to, al yal are A O Kay in my book. Trans, um... look umm... I’m female... I have more of a male mind... we can find common ground here can’t we?) and that’s what I go through everyday. Half the words I’m called... how do they apply to me? Like racist? I judge by character, not by skin tone.

(All I see is another human being in front of me. If you act like you’re above a human being, than I’ll treat you the way you treat me. Not one human is above another. If you have earnt that privilege than you are granted that only by the people who gave you such power, however they have the power to take it away. That is the true purpose of the second Amendment! In short; “a president is a civil servant to the people of his/her country that he/she has sworn to protect! As such nothing is beneath them!”)

I really wish people would do their homework...

My friend I was talking about earlier; well she’s not only getting on my case about finding a job, but she’s also pissing me off about politics. Her plan is to be an American History Teacher. She wants to teach her class how America was founded on the “Socialistic” Principles we use today and that’s bullshit! We wouldn’t have many of our largest company products that I bet everyone of you see every single day, more than likely every minute of your day.

(For Starters:

Let’s start off with Ford, if America was a Socialistic Society, well then all of you who drive a Ford let alone a car in general, would walk everywhere. If it wasn’t for Ford’s Model T being a Successful test run clearing the way to Model A. Ford’s company could only up from there. (Btw: anyone who drives the VMW Bug- just a little trivia for you did you know that the original design was created by Adolf Hitler himself? Adolf Hitler was the original Designer for the shape of that car the VMW Bug, just a little tid pit I know from Graphic Design School, hope that doesn’t ruin your VMW driving experience:D)

Another one I’d like to point out: McDonald’s, that famous Golden Arches fast food places started as a ma and pa rest stop, now it’s one of the biggest fast food chains in the world! Mickey D’s started again in America! Again how is that possible in a Socialistic society?

Socialism is structured to where everyone is equal... equal pay... equal healthcare... equal quality of living... doesn’t count the politicians! In this system if you work you’re an idiot. Those who sit on their ass get everything handed to them, those who work their asses off barely survive. So why bother putting yourself through that much torture. Because:

No one working:

No power

No cable

No doctors

No teachers

No police

No food

No safety

No security...

Why? This would have been a good thing! This here proves Socialism doesn’t work!

If everyone decided to not work because they’re getting ripped off; than America shuts down! The government is screwed! And so are the moochers!)

Those are only two examples of capitalism being a good thing.

There is so much more... not to mention the feminist aspects like Susan B. Anthony: Voicing her “opinion” by voting for who she thought would be a good president. Of course the judge was going to let her off with a warning because “woman privilege” (woman today would be like okay and do it again), however she, Susan B. Anthony, A Real Feminist, (no Feminist is an insult to her, She a Real Woman, The Genuine Wonder Woman!) demanded she was sentenced to jail just like any man who broke the law! (Please oh please can we do that to these modern, pussies who call themselves women!) The first woman to fly a plane over the pacific Amelia, or the women who rose up against unjust treatment Rosa Parks, I mean come on. Worst of all is, she’s being taught tha John Wilkes Booth was Republican and Abraham Lincoln was Democrat... and it’s reversed. There’s a saying the liberals came up with: “if those damn n$&@€ must vote then they should only vote Democrat!”

My friend has become heartless and greedy, I’m in a fucked up spot because of a malicious brat who played innocent and didn’t understand what happens when you compromise. It’s not one side surrenders and the other gains, but what do I expects from the preppy college school type, (not all preppy girls are mean, I just have this personality that sends the wrong vibes and makes them more territorial)AKA mean girl type... however, this girl demanded everything goes her way or else. She’s from Georgia, yet she comes to higher elevation part and in the middle of the US, it’s winter yet she expects sunshine and beaches? All of us to be drinking out of a coconut? Yes, her hair is blonde at the roots, and she smokes pot in the apartment. Kind of gives you a clue on the person she is. Of and her Boy Toy is always there... when I stayed there. She blamed me for her messes, and her food she didn’t eat. Thing is I hate fish. Well another one to count she has a low IQ from the Mercury poisoning... and here I thought fish helped with brain development.

Anyway, it was hell, so my friend volunteered on the condition that I find a job and move out ASAP. I’m tryin as hard as I can here.

Being told no everywhere I go is very discouraging. I’ve made a gofund me campaign to maybe to maybe help a little... I don’t expect anyone to donate really... if anyone could click the link and share it to a friend they know and spread it around.

By February the only place I’ll be staying is my car on the side of the road... just sharing the story helps. Thank you.

New from Al and Linda Lerner on Movies and Shakers: A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood

This film is a lesson from the master of kindness, Mister Rogers, who helps a belligerent writer turn his bitter lemons into sweet lemonade. Marielle Heller (Can You Ever Forgive Me?) directs Tom Hanks in an unexpectedly dark story showing how Mister Rogers worked his magic on one tough cynical reporter. 

Hanks watched hundreds of hours of Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood and it pays off in his subtle, but effective performance. Even though it takes awhile to adjust to Hanks losing himself and becoming the feel-good icon, he emulates well the slow, soft-spoken, open and honest Rogers. Hanks lets the consistently compassionate demeanor of Rogers comes through. Heller delivers all the positive trappings and iconic sights and sounds of Rogers in action on the set. They include the familiar sound of the trolley and the voices of the beloved characters he used as foils to spread his positivity. 

Credit goes to Heller and writers Micah-Fitzerman-Blue (Maleficent: Mistress of Evil, TV’s Transparent) and Noah Harpster (TV’s For All Mankind,Transparent). They are effective making Rogers come to life with minimal dialogue that asks questions about feelings, rather than preaching or criticizing. Hanks handles the role with a tender touch that pays tribute to the real Mister Rogers without getting overemotional. 

Matthew Rhys (The Report, Mowgli: Legend of the Jungle) plays hard core journalist, Lloyd, assigned to interview Mister Rogers for an article for the Esquire issue on Heroes. It’s based on the 1998 article, “Can You Say…Hero?” written by Tom Junod . Rhys plays Lloyd as a crusty, negative journalist so well, you begin to hate him. He is so difficult, bucking his editor, Ellen, (Christine Lahti) making it clear that this is the last article he would ever want to do. But she lets him know, in no uncertain terms, that Mister Rogers is the only one of the magazine’s chosen subjects who even agrees to speak with him. Lloyd’s bad reputation is that well known. 

It’s known in his family, too. He and his unlikable and estranged Dad, Jerry,  (Chris Cooper) end up at Lloyd’s sister’s wedding where old grudges erupt over Jerry leaving Lloyd’s mother when she was dying. They get into a fight, wreaking havoc mentally and physically. Jerry ends up in the hospital, but Lloyd, outraged at the confrontation, leaves. It’s left to his wife Andrea (Susan Kelechi Watson), with their infant son with Jerry’s new wife to tend to the father at the hospital.  Andrea grew up loving Mister Rogers, and begs her husband not to tarnish her image of him.  

Lloyd, now sporting a bloody scab on his face from the fight, proceeds on assignment to interview Mister Rogers at the show’s WQED studio in Pittsburgh.  Anxious, Lloyd has to wait patiently on the set, watching as Mister Rogers turns a troubled autistic child into a hugging, loving little boy. 

Rogers’ patience is not really appreciated but noticed by the reporter. Heller handles the scene masterfully without overdoing it, letting Hanks play it out as we saw similarly in the touching documentary Won’t You Be My Neighbor? And then, when they finally get to meet, Mister Rogers, seeing Lloyd’s  scabby face, in true fashion, inquires first if he’s alright. 

Little by little, Rogers shows Lloyd that the TV icon who makes so many children, and adults, happy, is the real deal. The scene where Rogers is on the subway where all ages start singing his theme song out loud is a heartwarming keeper that shows his impact.

Shot on the real set in Pittsburgh, characters playing Lady Aberlin and Mr. McFeeley and the puppets of King Friday, and Daniel who were voiced by Rogers himself, are fun to see voiced with Hanks working behind the scene. Some of the people who worked on the actual show make cameo appearances, as does  Rogers’ real wife, Joanne, when Rogers and Lloyd are dining are dining in a local restaurant. Interesting line when Lloyd asks if Rogers is a vegan, Rogers explains he prefers not eating any food that has a mother. 

There are scenes in the film we wish had been explored further and explained more fully to give more background on Rogers, his daily routines and his relationship with his wife and his two sons. Maryann Plunkett plays his wife, Joanne, in the movie. One scene shows them on the same wave length playing a duet on side-by-side pianos in their home in the film. It’s beautifully shot, but like some other scenes, it appears out of context. Rogers was a seasoned musician who wrote most of the songs for his show that ran more than 30 years on PBS. 

If you’re expecting a film that is a profile of the TV personality, this isn’t it. Instead, Heller chose to show who he was through the eyes of someone who was a skeptic, which is effective in its own way. Even though this is a much darker take, Heller and Hanks do a credible job making this a touching, feel-good movie by the end. They also show the tolerance, acceptance and understanding, still needed now, that  Mister Rogers delivered.
