Whether A24 meant to copyright strike absolutely everything or not remains a question that’s up in the air, but you can make a movie about the Backrooms, and it will still just be your own interpretation, and you can’t copyright-away the rest of it

Every single person’s idea of the Backrooms is different, and it belongs to everyone

Oh god there’s thunder outside and it’s starting to rain

Cross your fingers for me and pray it doesn’t knock out the damn power again

It’s really something else that I have to use Sezzle to buy my nicotine juice, because my bank is deciding what I’m allowed to pay for

I should be living my life and doing what I want, for ME

Not some amalgamation of internet sociopath ghosts that live in my head

Like maybe I’m depressed because I feel like I might be working at W*lmart the rest of my life

And it just goes back to this Quake 3 forum back in 2001 when I WAS a teenager, and a 40 y/o internet troll said to me, “You’re going to work at W*lmart your entire life”

And I feel like a large portion of my life has been me trying to prove that guy wrong

And I haven’t been successful

I don’t know if I’ve been feeling depressed because I’m over 40, or because I’ve never been able to convince anyone to stay with me long enough to marry, or because I haven’t changed anything significant in my life in a little bit

Guy at work says I should feel blessed to be 41, because some don’t get to live that long. My relationship issues are a combination of mental health problems I feel like I’ve partially dealt with, and the last thing, well, that’s why I’ve had 47 different instances

I wish I was a famous YouTuber rather than someone who can’t stomach to put myself in front of a camera

You must post, or evil wins

This is the depression talking, gotta be

why tf would I ever question myself and be like “why do I post on the internets”

You ever feel like you don’t really have a “place” left on social media. Like, no community of people, not many or almost no real solid connections, and it just feels like, “why am I still posting on this stuff”
