i love defunctland because youll be watching a completely ordinary and straightforward video about theme park history until kevin says some shit like "nothing makes one face their own mortality more than being a wiggle" and then continues on like nothing ever happened

tentacleTherapist: You would have to pay an industrial engineer to create a complex computer simulation of a theme park populated with agents, all with unique preferences, riding attractions of varying capacities in order to compare and contrast wait times, number of rides ridden, and other factors with and without a virtual queue system just to get to the bottom of this incredibly niche curiosity.

With how personal the video got and how inherently personal the relationship is between the art and the artist And how capitalism (competition over unity, commodification, basing your worth as a person on your work, etc) has molded young artists, I'm not going to condemn the people who come away from the newest video with sentiments along the lines of "I can't believe corporations would exercise improper crediting and that I and my work are going to be forgotten also no that wasn't a YouTube video that was high art documentation" because that's a valid response but to me (to me) [to me] that's not The Point of the video.
Alex Lasarenko said "No. No regrets." No. No regrets. No!!! No regrets!!!
Did Kevin Perjurer end the video by saying "You know what? This is a documentary actually"? Did any of the people that Kevin interview started off their clip with saying "Yes I did this and this and this 😏"? Did Lisa Lasarenko refuse to interview a man who would nail her late brother's legacy as "that guy who did the Disney Channel four note jingle"? NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BASHING YOU OVER THE HEAD WITH A MALLET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Your art has value no matter what you make no matter what you're remembered for (if at all) and any work that you have passion for that you are willing to dedicate time out of your fleeting life on is work that you should value as it is and as it will be and as You are!!! Do not regret doing something you love.

Me, wondering if I’ve become immune to media, that, even if I find something I enjoy a lot, there’s been nothing in a few years that has rocked me to my core & become a fundamental part of who I am, so maybe I’ve just read/watched/listened to too much and can no longer be affected as deeply as I used to be: 😐
Kevin Perjurer: …so what a monumental achievement it is to be remembered for four.

The new Defunctland video “Journey to EPCOT Center: A Symphonic History” is one of the most beautiful things I’ve ever seen. I’m so blown away. Kevin Perjurer is a master storyteller & documentarian. The man is an artist. Everyone that worked on this video is an artist.

an impact is an impact, no matter how small
something you make could have a greater impact than you thought it would
so just create, have fun, and make what you love.

i hate being overly invested in amusement park rides because one second i'm like "defunctland is so cool, i love learning about all this old shit" and the next i'm all "the fuck do you mean, they're getting rid of fire in the hole" and cry about it for two days straight
