They/Them Queer mood, mega depressed posts hidden amongst the memes soz. Gender, who they? (^o^) Will like anything shiny, guaranteed to cry over anything, major soft bitch.
I was completely surprised that My Friendly Neighborhood had such a fucked up yet realistic story.
What looks like another BATIM clone on the surface is actually a story about a man (and by proxy the puppets in the studio) struggling to cope with the effects of war and recession, wanting hope in the destruction but so buried in it that it seems almost impossible. The good ending also shows that it’s possible TO recover, despite everything. It doesn’t say that everything was happy and sunshine and rainbows again–hell, Gordon loses his job with or without helping the puppets, but…
It’s hopeful. The show lives on despite the fucked up world around them, giving kids and maybe even adults a ray of hope. Funny enough, I can even see some parallels between the game and real life, especially looking at the past two, three years? Good timing, hopefully this game gets more popular so it’s message spreads.
Shoutout to My Friendly Neighborhood for just having the puppets be puppets that just miss people and not something hella malicious and overused like the souls of dead & kidnapped children.
Like even when they attack you, they’re not actually attacking you but like basically emit cute aggression at seeing a human being after they were abandoned and have been watching a lot of the depressing shit that’s been broadcasted.
I’m really drunkso I think that Jamie really likes soft things but never lets himself have them.
Like his dad threw out childhood stuffed animals when he was back in Jamie’s life. And Jamie was crushed so from that point on he literally never let himself have anything.
But once when he was with Roy and they had Phoebe over she passed out animals to them for story time. Jamie ended up with a bear in a rainbow tutu and a skull shirt.
Phoebe fell asleep and Jamie just kept holding the bear. Roy watched and when he tugged Jamie back to his room he still had the bear.
From about that day on Roy would notice when they were out at shops that Jamie wouldn’t really look at any of the stuffies. He couldn’t figure out why until they went to Georgie’s house and he saw that there weren’t really any around. He made some guesses and figured it out and Jamie begged him not to think he was stupid or childish.
Roy of course didn’t think that, he was mostly furious at Jamie’s dad and planning on how to get Jamie a good first stuffie- he took him to a place that sells jellycats and told Jamie to pick out three, one for Phoebe, one for himself and one for Roy.

Since this post blew up and people have asked for this villain’s record, here are some of Stinky Bastard Man’s more heinous crimes:
Screamed so loudly with such unbridled fury the one time he wasn’t sedated at the vet that he caused a little girl in the waiting room to burst into tears
Ripped an escape hole in the patio screen door in a single night
Snuck into the garage overnight where he managed to pull down his massive food bag from the top shelves, ripped it open and ate so much he couldn’t/wouldn’t move when we found him in the morning
Learned how to open the laundry cabinet to sleep on the clean towels
Learned how to open doors, thus allowing the dog to follow in after who then eats from the trash
Bats off anything on our windowsills that gets in the way of his sitting. Current succulent casualty count: 4
Thankfully cannot open the bedroom door due to rusty mechanisms, but managed to slip in one night when it wasn’t fully closed. Jumped down from my windowsill squarely onto my stomach, leaving me to bolt awake screaming from the blow and convinced I was under attack
Tricked me into loving him forever anyway
Ripped an escape hole
in the patio screen door
in a single night
Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
oh my god he’s THIS Stinky Bastard Man!!!!
the stinky bastard man, the stinky bastard myth, the stinky bastard legend
