okay so. in the newest Imp & Skizz podcast ep (the one about the Life Series, for those who find this later), Skizz talks about the concept of the boogeyman. specifically, he talked about a really interesting Reddit post he saw, framing him as sort of the creator or the source of the boogeyman curse.
(if the op of that Reddit post should happen to find this, I apologize if I'm just reiterating things you've already said.)
so, according to that post (or at least Skizz's summary of it), the boogeyman actually starts back in 3rd Life, when Skizz charged the Crastle out of sheer bloodlust and permadied in a 2v1 against Impulse and Grian. that kinda lines up with Martyn's lore, which I'll get to in a second.
this theory of Skizz being the source of the boogeyman curse continues throughout the rest of the seasons; he was in Last Life and Limited Life, both of which had boogeymen, but he was not in Double Life, which did not have the boogeyman mechanic. plus, Skizz has never actually been the boogeyman. he said it was kinda like a transfer of energy; he can't be the boogeyman because he created it.
this is where Martyn's lore comes into play.
the boogeyman curse, according to Martyn, was created as a means for the Watchers to feed on even more trauma and negative energy than they already were. and Skizz - he's a positive presence. he's a sweetheart. he's kind, he's a leader; hell, he took the time to compliment every single person on the server during Limited Life. of course he can't be the boogeyman. there's no negative energy to feed off of.
now hear me out: that's because the Watchers are spreading it to everyone else.
maybe Skizz's energy is too concentrated, or maybe there's something else about it that the Watchers don't like. they can't work with Skizz's negative energy the way that it is, so they spread it out to the other Players in the form of the boogeyman curse.
I'm not sure where I was going with this, I just haven't seen anyone talking about the theory of Skizz being the source of the boogeyman curse.

sorry sorry last time I'm talking about huskerdust tonight but does it fuck anyone else up knowing that Husk and Angel basically lived at the same time but were on opposite sides of the country. But also Husk went traveling. Like these two could have met while they were alive and wouldn't even know it. They didn't even know the other existed until they met at the hotel
Like I have. so many thoughts about this.

A scene of foreman telling house in ep21 s8 that "persevering through pain for loved ones... isn't that what life is?" before being followed up by a scene of house screaming at taub in the middle of the hospital hallway that life is pain. Life is pain. His entire life is pain. How he wakes up everyday and thinks about ending it. And yet hes still fucking here and what is that if not a confirmation that house's entire life is lived for wilson
Its so like. Because from an outsider's perspective its so childish. Its so out of bounds though thats completely in character for house; you don't tell people whether they should live or die, least of all if they're diagnosed with a terminal illness you know will suck the life out of them every second they aren't in the ground. You don't get to tell people that you dont have that right but. But. but
House is here and house is in pain. He's hurting and he's been hurting and he wants that to end but its been an unspoken agreement for years that wilson would never forgive house if he just gave up. Wilson would never let him do that. He would never ever forgive house for that not ever
So house is here!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is alive!!!!!!!!!!!! Because wilson is his best friend and house cannot live in a world where wilson hates him even if he isnt around to feel it. So house persevered through the pain he grit his teeth and just kept fucking Going because wilson hating him is a worse fate than any infarcture any perpeptual state of chronic pain, a fate worse than anything
Before stacy before cuddy before everything it was new orleans and wilson in that cell. House has been living for wilson. House's entire life past the infarcture and the pain and the pain and the pain has been for wilson. He has been living in unimaginable pain for 20 years because its been an unspoken agreement that i need you i want you you need me you want me. I need you here you cant go anywhere You cant leave me
20 years of being in a perpeptual unending state of chronic pain. Years of living under this unspoken agreement, being bound to this contract that keeps you screaming keeps you hurting keeps you gutted and emptied out but you never minded it, you never left. you let it take you because you love him. Because you love him he loves you and he lets you love him and thats enough
So can you imagine what a slap in the face it is to have him tell you outright that he wont live for you.
That his life, his death: it'll be about him. All this whilst your entire life has belonged to him. Your life your death everything you've ever done its been about him for him. For him. And you feel furious and cheated to tears because its then that you realise he never even asked. You gave it to him handed your bleeding beating heart warm and fresh to him on a silver fucking platter and he never even asked for it. But you're asking him now. You're actually asking him you're begging him, you are begging him you're telling him that you love him, and he's saying no? He's saying no?
Can you even begin to imagine-- just a fraction of that betrayal? That humiliation? I've fucking grit my teeth weathered 20 years of pain i stayed alive because i knew that you wanted me to-- because i knew that you loved me and you wanted me to stay, and that was fine, because i loved you too. And i never even made you say it. I never made you say the words because i thought it was something we both understood intrensically, down to the bone-- and still im telling you now that i need you that i love you and now the deal's just off?
I weathered through 20 years of pain because surely you would have done the same for me-- and you're telling me now that your life is going to be lived on your own terms? when my entire life has been lived for you? When ive been in hell for 20 years just so i could keep loving you? You; you looked at me in the eyes, led me on had the gall to keep me alive-- just to sit here now and tell me that the agreement ive lived my whole life around was a one-man deal? That you cant be bothered to stick your heels in the dirt a little, grit your teeth and go through a quarter fraction of the hell ive gone through so that you stay here! can be here Be Here and keep continuing to love me when ive been doing that wordlessly thanklessly for 20 years? How could you make me ask? How could you tell me no?
How could you keep me alive and breathing if you knew that this was even remotely in the realm of possibility? You kept me in the dark-- knew this whole time that leaving this friendship could actually be an option for you-- and you kept me alive?

guess whos insane about skizzleman and impulse in the life series again
its me. theres limited life spoilers here so like, if thats not your gig, now you know.
did you guys see. that in this session, session 3, both Impulse and Skizz independently decided that they needed to give their allies items that would help them survive? So they both did a lot of personal hard work to make sure that the people they trust the most would always have these items on them in case of danger?
and. and the items are Ender Pearls and Golden Apples? Items that both of them have history with?
For Impulse and Ender Pearls...
Remember the Ender Pearl Stasis Chamber that saved and failed Impulse many times in 3rd Life?
Remember Impulse Ender Pearling to Bdubs, to his demise, in 3rd Life?
Remember Impulse having the option to save himself from falling off the Ghast Farm with Ender Pearls but dying because he focused too hard on the boat trick in Last Life?
Remember Impulse designing an escape route for him and Bdubs if they ever needed it, one that required Ender Pearls to fully complete, in Double Life?
For Skizzleman and Golden Apples... (well, shoutout to this post by @aquelondungeonmaster about Skizz and Golden Apples because HOLY SHIT IT MAKES ME EAT DIRT AND WALLS!!!!)
Remember Skizz being given a Golden Apple by Ren for some leather, and in a way solidifying Skizz’s loyalty in 3rd Life?
Remember Skizz giving out Golden Apples to the Red Army before rushing to his own death in 3rd Life?
Remember Skizz trying but failing to save himself from getting killed by eating a Golden Apple in Last Life?
Remember Skizz not being in Double Life, the only series that had to ban Golden Apples because they would break things?
What I’m saying is, there’s history here. History of these two with these specific items either saving or failing to save them in the previous series...and not only that, they’re kinda symbolic of how these two treat conflict.
Skizz gives his allies, the people he loves and cares for, Golden Apples. Something to help them face conflict, something that will make them stronger then before. Impulse gives his allies, the people he loves and cares for, Ender Pearls, something to help them escape conflict and live another day.
Isn’t it just awfully symbolic of them? For both of them to give out items to help their allies that lines up with how they treat conflicts, while also having a lot of history with these items specifically?
how the FUCK isn’t the life series scrippted WHAT ARE THESE CONNECTIONNNNS????? MAYBE I’M JUST GOING INSANE AGAIN. THE IMP AND SKIZZ BRAIN HAUNTS ME. IT KEEPS COMING UP WITH CONNECTIONS BETWEEN THESE TWOOOOO

thinking about how honest the hope is in disco elysium, if that makes sense. how you face consequences for the actions and life you can’t remember. how your nightmares come back and they just might be there to stay. how you still wake up in pain and have to very actively fight off the cravings of your old addictions. how it isn’t easy trying to chose not just life, but living better, living for yourself. how it doesn’t mean any of the problems will go away, or the pain will stop, but it gives you an option other than constant suffering. there’s always a silver lining, it’s just a matter of being able to look up and find it.
hope isn’t always easy, and sometimes it is a choice, but in a torn up world and a torn up body, it’s something. it’s not always pretty or perfect, it’s clumsy and sometimes foolish and hard to keep close, it’s difficult, and maybe it’s all you have but it’s something - streets and sodium lights, the sky, the world, you’re alive

Yo! String! You’ll be getting a surprise visitor soon!
LSoL: I can tell. I really hope not, for their sake, but I can't stop them.
...
I think they would be visiting Dreams first though, as she's closer to them than I am.

Wow!
Ok so I was not expecting to cry that much hearing the strings in Mirrorball and Hello You. Honestly every now and then I forget how beautiful the album is and I have to just sit and listen to it. So hearing the live version even through peoples shoddy recordings was so moving, the strings are gorgeous and I wish the band had actually had the bravery to do this sooner. Like the only reason we even have these last few shows is because Alex got sick this summer, they were probably going to end it without ever having played these songs with live strings, which is insane. I love love love this band but sometimes watching them be the worlds biggest contrarians is tiring! Imagine if they’d stuck to their album and played sets with 5 or 6 songs from The Car, imagine if they committed to it. Anyway, I hope the last 3 shows do The Car some justice because the songs really do deserve to be heard with the whole ensemble.
