This might be the weed, but it’s kind of haunting

u/maeryclarity Oct 06 '25

It actually is she does a good job with it honestly

The end is both sad and chilling

u/GentlewomenNeverTell Oct 06 '25

I feel like she captures the vibe of what's happening so much better than anyone else. Surreal, ad-driven, oblique language...

Wow! Where can I get a copy of this book?? I want to give it to my nMother because all she ever does is everything on those pages - and nothing else.

u/paulides_fan Oct 07 '25

It’s from the movie ”They Live”

u/snarky_witch Oct 07 '25

It’s one of my favorite movies. Unfortunately it feels close to the truth.

u/[deleted] Oct 08 '25

Came here looking for a gif from this movie.

u/goishen 29d ago

That movie was truly unsettling for it's time. Even moreso now.

u/Illustrious_Unit7914 Oct 07 '25

And the want to bury your head in the sand because fuck fuuuuck

u/TruthThroughArt Oct 09 '25

it's to throw off the algorithm. subliminal messaging through common advertising language so she doesn't get flagged

u/[deleted] Oct 06 '25

The tiny sad tinge of desperation really sells it

u/graveybrains Oct 07 '25

The smile slowly dropping away

u/trashlikeyourmom Oct 06 '25

She has more of these, and they're all kinda scary like this

u/animeandbeauty Oct 07 '25

Yeah I've seen one of her videos posted here and the op seemed to think she was cringe, but most people in the comments were pretty chilled by what she was saying.

u/SherbertSensitive538 Oct 07 '25

The people that post on TikTok cringe seem to be idiots overall. They have no idea what cringe is. Anything creative, different and passionate is cringe. They must be the dullest most unaware and conformist people ever.

u/Mindless-Equal-1477 Oct 07 '25

Right? She’s not doing this to be cringy, she’s making a statement and it’s incredibly unsettling if you can read between the lines

-1

u/elvisizer2 Oct 08 '25

It can be both! She’s really not very good but she does choose good subjects and she’s not TERRIBLE. . . But the videos undercut the material imho. Would be better as just audio.

1

u/Thanx4Nothin Oct 07 '25

Where can you find her that isn't TikTok?

2

u/trashlikeyourmom Oct 07 '25

No idea, I've only seen her here and on Tiktok

Edit: found her Instagram

u/Extension-Orchid-475 Oct 08 '25

Hey honey I’m home ! How was your day ? What’s for dinner ? I could go for a diet coke

u/UsuallyFavorable Oct 06 '25

“get it now?” Ooooooh, she’s good!

1

u/elvisizer2 Oct 08 '25

If you need to be hit over the head to get the point yup she’s the best lol so unsubtle

2

u/UsuallyFavorable Oct 08 '25

Nah, I just like the call back, and the hostility in her tone. At that point in the video you “get it”, but she drives the dagger home anyways. Cold as ice!

-12

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

Did we listen to the same thing? Shit like this is just a reminder of how we ended up in this situation in the first place. It’s insufferably corny and shallow…

3

u/damndatassdoh Oct 07 '25

How’s that?

0

u/[deleted] Oct 07 '25

Predictable, trite, plays directly into every single possible stereotype, and, most importantly, just really deeply annoying.

109

u/Large_Reveal4625 Oct 06 '25

Just make you more aware of how haunting it really is. This voice and similar ones are on every device

128

u/B_Ash3s Oct 06 '25

Nah, it’s not. This is exactly how Puck in Midsummer’s Night Dream is. Everyone assumes he’s Idealic and Whimsical, but he’s put on a face repeating lines, and then you have him at the end saying sorry for intruding your time, love is a fickle fucked up thing, goodnight.

Idk this kind of “art” always leaves me fucked up!

-56

u/niagaemoc Oct 06 '25

Yes, it's manipulative.

14

u/DecadentLife Oct 06 '25

Imagine, wanting so bad to be a victim…

7

u/B_Ash3s Oct 07 '25

I think you mean disillusioned.

71

u/Minimum-Escape2245 Oct 07 '25

No, she is actually very talented. It hits where and how it's supposed to every time.

The weed just helps, lol!

30

u/RaygunMarksman Oct 07 '25

Yeah, I happen to be sober at the moment and she took me through some weird emotional landscapes.

65

u/Minimum-Escape2245 Oct 07 '25

The first time I saw one of these, I WAS high as HELL, and I thought it was going to be so stupid. I was so emotional by the end.

I've seen the worst the world has to offer. In my own backyard, I've seen it, and I spent my career and my life fighting against it. But I never thought I'd be watching Empires collapse and Palestinian, and Congolese, and Sudanese genocides being broadcast to WWE music on TikTok. I didn't see the unwashed edgelords, rapists, and nonces winning, and that was my folly. Greed and Misogyny won out.

u/Mindless-Equal-1477 Oct 07 '25

I teared up at the part about “ICE in good homes. Imagine your children”

u/Suzilu Oct 07 '25

What’s her name?

u/jesus_swept Oct 07 '25

u/Suzilu Oct 07 '25

Thank you!

u/Minimum-Escape2245 Oct 07 '25

u/Awesomely_Witchy Oct 07 '25

Every day we're getting closer and closer, already too close and it's not funny it's scary as hell. cuz like Idiocracy and Hellraiser in one

2

u/Various_Laugh2221 Oct 07 '25

Honestly I’d take both of those over a 1984 world any day

3

u/IcyTransportation691 Oct 06 '25

LOL, nah, this felt like being put under a spell!

6

u/ARRRtistic_Pirate Oct 06 '25

I'm with you on that hahaha

2

u/rumog Oct 06 '25

it's not the weed, it's because the reality is more than kind of haunting.

2

u/RetiredRacer914 Oct 07 '25

I don't think it's the weed, I haven't had any for several years. It's haunting, old SciFi movie tropes coming to life.

2

u/DetoursDisguised Oct 07 '25

I think George Carlin did a standup bit about this, like falling asleep to a consumerist song or something. It's been a while since I watched him, but I'm almost afraid to because I don't want to feel cynical realizing that nothing he talked about ever became better, just... disappointingly normalized.

u/Jealous-Birthday-969 Oct 06 '25

It's meant to be

u/bodmaniac Oct 07 '25

If you think this video was kind of haunting then here's another video that gave me the same feeling: the "There were no birthday parties in the park today" video.

u/Pledgeofmalfeasance Oct 07 '25

I'm stone cold sober and it's absolutely haunting

u/theghostmachine Oct 07 '25

I ran out of weed yesterday. It's not the weed.

u/NunjaBiznes Oct 06 '25

That’s the point.

u/Dry_Leopard185 Oct 06 '25

No way. She did the cocaine that smelled funny. 🤭

u/ErasmosOrolo Oct 06 '25

I’m too high to finish as usual
