hi everyone, i'm @scadutree/@erdleaf & this is just my alt account for my non-fromsoftware interests. i'm really into entomology, liminal spaces, horror, ARGs, transformers & gundam, pokemon & kirby, frankenstein, ghibli, mcr, and a bunch of other things. nice to meet you 🪲🌱
it me birth i can't believe i wanted to end my life 10 years ago and here i am still breathing and getting to experience a world where elden ring & the backrooms exist. life really is worth living through all the hardships
mini backrooms spoilers but i just remembered that phil async's family was watching the neverending story before the captain clark's ottoman empire commercial comes on 😭
seeing the ai upscaled picture of mary's still life at the very end of the movie circulating around and thinking about the horror of how similar the backrooms and ai are in how they both operate like failing memories & misremembering details.
i saw the movie last night & these pics are ai upscaled which is (to me) another layer of the horror of the backrooms. it misremembers, it forgets details. i remember how the still life version of mary looks with her disfigured face, but the ai upscale can't. like the backrooms.
going through my morning routine and i just heard the garbage truck stop in front of my house and its wheels screeching as it braked made a sequence of sounds that perfectly sounded like "always with me" from spirited away, life is so beautiful in fleeting moments
it's so interesting and fun that the hobbytown in oshkosh where the original backrooms pic was taken literally used to be a furniture store before it was redone
i love liminal spaces, i love existing in the "in-between," transitory states of being, empty & abandoned hallways, malls, hotels, airports, buildings, stairwells. getting lost in nostalgia. ephemerality that seemingly lasts too long.
