Shenanigans

3 - Battle

the first thought to go through my head was a battle of the bands type thing, and I thought "haha what if Leo defeated the krang with the power of song" then I immediately thought of the ending to the spongebob movie so I scrapped everything else that would've been cooler and did what I do best... the silly.

something i've been thinking about:

Wally is set up as a sort of "main character" by the whrp. he's said in the site's description of the show to have introduced the main theme/lesson of the day's episode, and then the rest of the neighbors join him on his escapades. but then we have our first glimpses of everyone's actual dynamics and characters through the audios and you look at Wally and its like

first of all, thats an npc. second, nearly everybody else has severe main character syndrome

but its fascinating how Wally is just kind of... There. he doesnt talk much. he doesnt contribute beyond a couple of lines. its more like he joins the others on their shenanigans. he fades into the background. he's off to the side while everyone else holds conversations & leads the moment

Wally, despite being described as Thee character, is borderline background.

& whats even more interesting, within his individual secret audio files and interactions - he's almost chatty. not only that but the way he talks is more confident and faster paced. he's taking initiative. he can be kinda pushy. when talking to the qa/whrp/Us, he acts more like the character his descriptions portray. he acts more like a person instead of a puppet waiting for his next cue

I cant tell if - when around the neighbors - his tepid milk behavior is a purposeful act or if he's masking. and if he's masking, is it deliberate or involuntary? and in regards to both, why is he acting so different? It could be tied to what he's trying to accomplish. if he's trying to "restore" Welcome Home, it would make sense for him to act as he does around the neighbors - he wouldnt want to clue them in that he knows so much more than he's letting on, would he?

but then that begs another train of thought - what if he isn't acting or masking? if there is a time discrepancy between Wally's interactions with the qa/whrp/Us & the more 'official' audios, that could explain the difference in behavior. we could be getting glimpses into "future" (read: current) Wally, who's had much more time to figure himself out since we can safely assume he started out as a blank slate. we could be seeing a more experienced Wally than the one seen with his friends.

of course that line of thinking loses some merit when considering the 14 "bug" audios. or it could lend to it... if we're seeing a more experienced Wally but his friends are only seeing what he allows them to. it's still him, just... a carefully curated version.

in general it could really tie into the themes of identity and change and being other, to me. when you're so different - or you feel so different - that you can't bring yourself to be your most authentic you around your friends. when you feel like you have to hold back and be who you think they expect you to be, or what would be most palatable. most normal. will they accept you as you really are? there's always the fear and terror that the people you consider closest to you won't. or when you're so scared of change that you'll shove down & lock away parts of yourself so that you can keep things as you are. because once they know you've changed, so will they. and really, do you want to even accept that you've changed? what if that's what scares you most of all - that you're different, you've metamorphosized, you can't go back to the way things were because you yourself are no longer the person you were before. there is no reversing this no matter how much you try or pretend

help I’ve started listening to my chemical romance 😭

[diodellet]

∞ hiiiiiiiiiii rave about this song for me (if you want!!)

uwaaa thanks forda ask bibi! i will do my best to ramble (<-0.5 seconds bfore shuffle decided to pull a pro gamer move™️)

It’s t-t-time, put on a mask, cause anyone will do  If it can hide fear inside of you  Come on, I’ll gather up all of your pride -Idola no Circus by Neru (translyrics and vocals by Oktavia)

sldjfdlksjfsld omg not shuffle putting my edgy vocaloid phase on blast HELP🙈🙈 (also MAN i missed listening to oktavia's voice...her power!! the way she channels the emotions of the song!! HER ADLIBSSSS!!!!! )

from first glance this song looks like it could be related to lost one's weeping, with the highschool uniform and the red school desks (PLUS THAT SICK GUITAR TRACK😩🎸🎸) but then you look at the lyrics and go HMMM actually this song feels like a different kind of fucked up like are the persona's issues still school-related? UH OH!! I DONT THINK WE'RE IN SCHOOL ANYM--

it could be about people-pleasing, it could be about feeling beyond salvation, it could be about those and a third worse thing thrown into the mix, i think. a lot of neru's songs are free to interpretation like that!

(send me ∞ and i'll give you my fave lyric from what shows on shuffle)

Physically, I'm rotting away in my room playing guitar hero on my wii bloodsplatter strat. Mentally, I'm Gerard Way playing on the xbox gh2 xplorer. Spiritually, I'm Lzzy Hale playing real guitars live at Wembly stadium.

[7-oh-ta1]

Nothing can stop me from jamming to kill me again even tho 1) I don't even enjoy the source material anymore, and 2) it is impossible to sing the english parts w/o being overly aware of how silly you sound

[sn4kebites]

jackman is such a good album. 24 minutes long and every track is so good and so raw. i do not take like most of anthony fantanos opinions seriously anyways but the low score on this one especially was such a bad take.

[shanegrey]

rewatching #1 (high) and i gotta say i missed nate and jason arguing

[tillman]
