Weirdcore - Blog Posts
Does anyone else on mobile hold and drag the little post thingies in the bottom right corner to watch the colorful bubbles bounce around the screen and giggle at the bouncy rainbow bubbles?
I love them. They supply a little daily serotonin for my brain.
I adore the Backrooms. I love that they are a Thing. I love that there is a place beyond what reality is now, somewhere other than Here but still Here- it's just "underneath", a glitch away. Like reality is this place, this simulation we've been stuck into but somewhere, someone or something fricked up the code so now there's this Other Place. It's so wild and fun and mysterious. I love it. I love the concept.
My interpetation of what a watcher/listener looks like!
I imagine that they are very reminiscent of weirdcore/eldrich horror and thus birthed this! The being in the center is what I generally think a watcher looks like, and on the sides are other concepts of them, the left being a watcher and the right being a listener. I've been obsessed with weirdcore recently and this was an excuse to make something weird!
On terms of turning someone else into a watcher, I imagine it's a very painful process. With how I imagine the mechanics working is that you are literally being ripped apart and 'reborn' as a reality-shifting being. You experience hunger pains and have phantom pains all over for seemingly a millennium, which is why it's a forbidden practice.
I imagine that listeners and watchers share a lot of similarities that make them almost indistinguishable from each other, BUT there are distinguishing factors! For example, listeners are more vibrant compared to their greedy and darker counterparts, and they have a more central focus on ears rather than eyes, making them all hearing. Watchers, rather than having ears, are more eye-focused and all-seeing, they have a darker palette and like to garnish themselves in their trophies, a.k.a. the very disturbing wrappings around them, the wrappings are never specified as to what they're made of, but its theorized that it changes based on who is the unfortunate soul to gaze upon these horrific things.
One last thing to point out is the significance of the wings being closed or open when seeing a watcher or listener. Watcher wings are closed, representing their greedy hoarding, and egotistical selves. They are closed-minded just as their wings and eyes only look towards a one-way self-image. Listeners however are said to have open wings, representing their open-mindedness and empathy towards 'lower mortal creatures'. Rather than having a greedy personality, they view themselves as having a monumental debt to repay, forever increasing. For while the watchers view themselves as gifts to reality, listeners view their existence as a burden needing to be solved, which almost gives them more of a self-loathing and pessimistic personality.
I might try to post a comparison of a watcher/listener to your average player, which by the way, i like to utilize the more scrapbook-y look vs the cartoonish look. They are inter reality beings, therefore, shouldnt exactly fit the binary of 'reality'
Again this is my interpretation! I'm not exactly in-depth with the lore of watchers and listeners so there are probably a few plot holes lol
