"GET OUTTA HERE YOU FUCKING CLOUD"
Alright time to lean back and enjoy the roller coaster.
Yep.
+adamtheamazing64 "Cloud was seeing 'less than thrilled' you see."
I find this really offensive
+adamtheamazing64 i lost it there xD
+adamtheamazing64 lol
i feel like tipsy knows the secrets of the universe
Captain Robert Falcon Scout I don't roll that way.
+Captain Robert Falcon Scout Found U ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
InsaintyYT what kind of stupid ass name
+Captain Robert Falcon Scout ohh what kind of a argument is this.

Tipsy I can only hope to find the meaning of your work.
+Da Broz I think its found at the bottom of the cereal box.
+adamtheamazing64 Shit! I was looking in the MIDDLE of the cereal box!
S T R I V E We've got to dig deeper!
+Da Broz the answer is pretty obvious
The truth isn't DOWN! My god.... It's in the clouds! The rain! The- GET OUT OF HERE YOU F$&@ING CLOUD!
Here's a little theory:
This was some time before the kid died.
The father, recorded that night on a tape. And since the child's death, he's been sitting in that chair, listening to the recorder, fearing that if it ever stops repeating, his son will truly be gone.
Same
That's deep and dark
Edit:
and sad
Wow
You made me cry a lot 😭😭😭😭
... that made me think hard on my life just about now...
Well your a cheery fellow, arent you?
Out of all of Tipsy Duck's videos, even the most visually horror-based, and those with dark and suggestive themes, this video unsettles me the most. It actually perturbs me on some kind of deep, subconscious level.
It's the last scene, with the father in the chair by the fireplace. The composition is strange. All of the objects that we would deem as most important in the frame are all either in the center or on the right of the frame. The fire loop is broken, and the focusing of the objects in the shot is distorted. The table in the center is out of focus, which could be understood if you wanted to change the camera focus to look at something farther away (which puts objects close to the viewer out of focus). Normally this wouldn't be a problem, but the back of the father is almost touching the fireplace, and yet he is just as out-of-focus as the table.
All of the furniture we saw during the brief intermitting scenes of the father and his son in the room is gone. Its sudden disappearance communicates a sense of emptiness. The table is bare with the exception of one storybook about a cloud, which is left open and unfinished on its spine.
The father specifically is the most unsettling part of this shot. He seems to be relaxing in his chair, but his feet are not resting on the ground, which suggests movement. This is heavily juxtaposed by his relaxed posture. You might think 'he's just tapping his feet,' but his feet are not moving. He is completely static. Additionally, his relaxed posture is broken by an unusual curvature in his spine, in that his hips are tilted in the opposite direction to his shoulders. The father's position in the scene is strange - he's only two thirds in the shot, and the most striking feature of all is that he's been unfocused to just the right degree and you can't see his face properly. Perhaps his eyes are closed, and he is sleeping? Who sleeps with their feet pointing upwards? Where is he looking? He is not looking at us, so there is no acknowledgement we are here. Just the father in his empty room. The orientation of his head suggests he is looking at something - specifically it looks like that object is behind us and to the left, or perhaps something on the floor. What other important feature of the room could he possibly be looking at?
His son. His son is gone.
No need for extra furniture any more.
Great analysis
What I got from this was that once you see that everything is a loop in the universe, time doesn’t matter anymore. At the end I’m assuming that the boy was going to say that he didn’t want to “play again” but he didn’t get to finish his sentence. This could mean that he grew up and it happened so quickly because he was starting to realize that time doesn’t matter, he also saw that not wanting the universe to be this way would do nothing since it cannot be controlled . Like you were saying, some of the furniture was gone because the boy is gone, he probably doesn’t live there anymore. I also think that the reason why the end was focused on the fireplace because it represents the oven the cloud killed himself with.
112358132134 55 Oh my god you are right, that could mean he killed himself too?
+ 112358132134 55
It's been a while but I looked at the composition again and the entire scene is arranged to draw attention to the fact his son is not there. He's looking at where his son was sat, everything is asymmetrically-placed to highlight the empty space on the left, and the book is unfinished.
I think that drawing a connection between the oven the cloud used to kill itself and the fireplace in this video is a bit of a stretch, but I can't honestly rule it out. Perhaps... If this connection was legitimate, the story of a cloud is a story of his son? An adult adrift and commonly hated by passers-by, stuck in a loop of despair caused by being unable to change who they are.
@@timeforamazingchest5271 I say it's schizophrenia. The way he is silent, almost mentally talking to himself. Maybe he lost something dear of his, and his brain is trying to cope on the grief or loss he feels in his soul.
The way the child disappears and he repeats the story over and over again. It must be a sign of him not accepting something that happened to him, his brain not processing what horrible, grim thing must have happened to this man. And I think the part with the space and the clouds, how the world is ticking, I think it's his sanity or will to live slowly withering away.
I rest my case on thinking this man has schizophrenia
The cloud is happy,
although you ask how
The answer is simple,
For he's in Smash now.
Holy shit I found TJ “Henry” Yoshi in the wild
The cloud better be in smash for the switch!

"lost the chance for rewinding and rerecording." He blames himself for the death of his son and now he waits to "play again", or meet again with him in the afterlife. I'm still working on figuring out the bit about the cloud in space.
perhaps it was symbolism on how he felt like he was doing everything wrong with his life, and the cloud killing itself was his depression, then he realised that he will have to continue with his life, and just wait for death so he can be with his son once more
Yea, I don't know about the backwards barking dog bit.
maybe the dog is the insanity, maybe?
its a say on how when you die, youll be reborn and relive the same life. its all a cycle . saying that life after death is a loop.
the backwards barking dog is the idea that he could still return or reverse his actions in time, barking out of a simple madness.
I'm still chewing on it, but here's my take.
The cloud resembles the child in the beginning, scared of literal monsters under his bed. A fantasy born out of naivety. The father replies with a heavy remark about monsters being everywhere, and it's clear that he's being figurative. This highlights what the video deems as the true threshold between childhood and adulthood. This theme is reinforced through the story of the cloud being born happy and motivated only to eventually succumb to depression and existential dread once being beaten down by the harsh realities of life. This leads to the cloud eventually killing itself, and in its place a new cloud is born, equally as blissfully ignorant. The tragedy being that this cycle is doomed to repeat forever.
The next part in space I think is just typical Tipsy Duck mind fuckery and serves mostly to unsettle to viewer than anything else. Although, because it's in space the clouds have nothing to do other than be alone with their thoughts, alone and miserable. You'll even notice that the close up of the cloud in space is out of focus ever so slightly, similar to the father in the final scene. The planets orbit the Sun like clockwork and the emptiness of space really sells the unsettling tone Tipsy is known for.
The child and father begin to repeat themselves again, only to be interrupted by that smash cut to the father sitting in the very out of focus room
Nihilism and repetition play a huge role in this story. It's about a child who was born blissfully ignorant and naive, only to have these reassuring traits stripped away by the constant harassment of his peers, feelings of uselessness, and the eventual loss of any sense of purpose/accomplishment, and how we sometimes never recover.
It's unclear to me of the cloud killing itself in the oven is intended to symbolise the father's suicidal ideation or rather a metaphorical death of the innocence one possessed in childhood.
Edit: also, I think the thing that supports my theory that the cloud, child, and father are all one and the same is in fact the final shot of the looping fire. The man is out of focus, in a big empty room and the child is no where to be seen.
i know im a year late but what if, the man at the end is the child, and the cloud in the oven represents the fathers death due to maybe suicide
the loop is also staggered with the fire.
ew why are you chewing it?
edit (joke)
It looks like the carpet is dirty with blood
I think the space theme does more than just unsettle the viewer, it provides us with a feeling that there is more to this story, more complexity that we can’t quite fathom. This is an excellent way to help express the father/child/cloud ‘s deep depression and his wish for something greater. Even if it is just to prove himself small
this is actually REALLY great

GET OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKING CLOUD
Day 57 : still figuring out what the fuck does this mean.
It's an unending dream. He is having thoughts of him and his son when he read the book to him at the start. The kid dies.
The quote at the end about the recorder; I'm not 100% sure but I think 'tape' means life and he is waiting for the tape to end to return and play again aka be in heaven with his son.
+RandomGames Aedan +
+RandomGames Aedan oh god... you genius!
+RandomGames Aedan The Tape At the End Is Stuck in a loop which will cause him to ever reach his son
Finally an explanation
Existential crisis inbound.
"he had hit the record unknowingly, and lost the
recorder in the hands of another, lost the chance for rewinding and
rerecording. Now he waits for the tape to run out again, to eternally
return and play again"
life pls
+ThatMelonLot Very philosophical.

There is some deep meaning behind this, but I haven't quite figured out what it is.

Funny cloud
I wonder what it is too
@@henthedooogo2140 Suicide, the "oven" the cloud got inside meant a way a persons kills himself, after that point I have no idea...

-The story of a Cloud.
-A Cloud?
-Yes. He has no super strength or redeemable features. He does have this big ass giant sword though.
But what about his hair?
Ryoga Hibiki why
Yes. he has no Super Strength or redeemable features unlike *Just Monika*
3 years and he's still carrying it. How many more?
Not funny
I'm not good in interpreting and this is old...
But what if his son was the cloud? Not literally of course. But maybe his son wanted to something good for the other people and tried his best to help them, in any way possible. His father pressured him to do so as well, but no one wanted the help. They didn't understand that the son was trying to help them and started to hate him. Soon enough, the son became depressed and wanted to escape it all. He felt so awful by those thought of him that he couldn't do it anymore. So, he commited suicide.
The father wished that he could bring his son back and start it all over again, perhaps tell the story of the cloud again. In the hope that this time, he could save his son and not make the same mistakes he did before. But, unlike a cloud who comes in the watercycle and comes back at a point. A human doesn't.
THIS IS TOO DARK FOR ME
Holy well done
Jesus can someone make a new tf2 kid model I've seen that one in almost every sfm.
He is the onw who killed Old Nick
digitivortex You think there's gonna be TF3? If it is, it must be connected to Half life and portal
digitivortex I know... And it would be cool to see him in TF3 (if it comes out)
digitivortex Well... We clearly do not know. As i know, they are getting too much hate for letting their projects go, and someday they will understand it
digitivortex Not for me. Kinda boring. Too much classes and a very little of atmosphere or design. Overwatch is kinda late for me... LATE FOR 9-10 YEARS!

A story of a cloud: a creation by tipsy duck
A story of a cloud,
He has no strength or redeemable features,
like all of us, us sentient creatures
Days and nights the cloud would stand there waiting
for him to align with the spinning world that was raining
As an overseer, overseeing all
the cloud saw all especially during rain
everyone running with their damp clothes and runny drippy noses
water drops running down window panes
to himself he thought of those men running under the weather
how poor they looked
how much they needed help
It must be in my blood to assist those who yelp
so the cloud soared through the rain settling above as a motherly cloak
And to the cloud the man spoke as he stared into the eyes that of a brother
He saw his endeavor appreciating the effort
*GET OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKING CLOUD*
cried the man
the cloud was feeling, less than thrilled you see
How could he ever help the yelpee
For when caught site of the cloud Men would yell in mighty voices
profanities out loud
This heartbreak breaks even the strongest of hearts
like losing blood to the painfully parting parts
And that's when it occurred
The nightmare manifested
He wasn't the revered that was needed
He was the creator of the very thing they hated
Cloud
The Harbinger of damp clothes and runny noses
From this hell he tried some alternative measures
But even this was deprived of pleasures
In this devastation he remembered a quote
"I have become death" said a man a rather cloudy day
But unlike Man the cloud dare not live through this game
How would he correct his wrong he pondered and wondered
Aha a huff and a puff
and a puff rejoiced the cloud in his cubicle room
Solved it I have I did
Aced the test
the oven!
my final rest
A thought did pass his now boiling brain
What would he become in the next life
Would it be another life in vain
a life enveloped in shrouds
He even dreamed of becoming those ridiculing men
ridiculing clouds
Before drifting to that obscure space of conscientiousness and not
After the passing regret of death
The cloud drifted and passed
Rocked to the void by blazing waves
Little did however the little cloud know
That cloud remains don't settle to the ground
but swivel to the sky
And thus the cremated steam whirled and whirled
Across the trees and background of blue skies
Up closer to the sun
There in the midst of nothingness and all
Where the air is as light as a feather
The atoms collide in dances of seduction together
Like that struggled into conscientiousness
sky mothers to you
a cloud
He has no strength or redeemable features
like all of us, us sentient creatures
Days and nights the cloud would stand there waiting
for him to align with the spinning world that was raining
Thoughts of thoughts
be a witness with disconnected eyes
All be, projected
Upon them
Damn be the wheelturning backwards barking dog
For is there anything worse
Than thoughts of thoughts?
He had hit the record unknowingly
and lost the recorder in the hands of another
lost the chance for unwinding and rerecording
and now he waits for the tape to run out again
to eternally return and play again
Thamkk

…
He told his kid to leave and they committed suicide and now the father sits in his room listening to a recording of his son, over and over, knowing if the tape ever stops playing his son will really be gone and he'll have to face what he did.
I don't think the father commit suicide, because he said "he lost the recorder to the hands of another, he lost a chance for rewinding and rerecording, now he waits for the tape to run out"
I think he killed his son somehow, but didn't had the determination to kill himself, and now he waits death to reborn again, hoping of a better life
god dam it tipsy
Most underappreciated comment

maple_shade thanks for actually writing that down. I've been trying to since I first saw this.
Why is there a comma in between "backwards" and "barking"? "backwards" isn't describing the dog, it's describing the barking.
Yes, snake clowns
Where is that quote from? Sounds like an Edgar Allen Poe poem.
Clip Boss
It’s written as subtitles in the last bit of the video
I bet if that one swear was censored, Valve might consider it. Otherwise, I liked it. Good luck at the awards!
+DTM1218 He'd need to change the cloud too
Why would it need to be censored? Tf2 has many of profanity, and is rated mature.
and instead of heavy flipping hi moff he'd ylel yet no sound comes out. and instead of fucking hed say friking

After realising the boy's last line is actually his first repeated (as if it was a tape), paired with the weird final shot, made me feel unsettled like no other video could. Another classic from tipsy!
I assumed the ending was a quote from somewhere but I couldn't find a source so i guess it's an original work.
Why do you have to be so goddamn talented at everything?
Pretty sure this is a bit too obscure to win a saxxy, but good luck none-the-less.
Well *Living In Obscurity* won a saxxy so I wouldn-Nah I wouldn't have a *Wishmaker* make me wish for that stupid joke. However, as a *Protonic Moron* myself I would like to say that we ourselves are like *A Spark of Life* in which we all find ourselves, in one way, *A Baby Trouble.* We have the *Power Of Art* , *Turbulence* Fighting against our dreams, and alas we all End up wanting to go *Back to the Saxxys.*
Damn How did I manage to do that shit? We Do Pretty much live in our own *VIRTUAL REALITY* XD ok I'll stop.
"GET OUT OF HERE YOU FUCKING CLOUD"
never *ever* talk shit to cloud
he's in smash now
Was the kid voice actor speaking into a microphone in the next room? (Still a great video though, good luck!)
•Finn• it think it kinda plays into this theory that’s being tossed around the comments about how we are listening to a recording of the events of that night that the father took. It kinda makes sense how the kid sounds like he’s far away from their microphone when recording because he was farther away from the microphone than the dad who had the recorder closer to him.
I'm wondering, what are you thinking whilst making these animations?

Thats what
Probably thinking thoughts of thoughts.
One day I'm gonna wake up and think "I understand the meaning behind Tipsy Duck's vids!" That will be the day I will think no longer. Great work, Tipsy and pleasant as always to watchxD
Maybe this is Tipsy's way of complaining about the weather
He hit the record unknowingly,
and lost the recorder in the hands of another.
Lost the chance of rewinding and rerecording
now he waits
for the tape to run out again.
To eternally return
and
play again.

youraverageevilpoet the death of linguistic meaning
I feel like Tipsy sometimes wonders the secrets of the universe.
The story is of an ignorant person, yet good at heart, who desperately wanted to help the others around them- but the only problem- was itself. Slowly realizing this, the person decides to fix the problem- by ending their own life. The person is now dead, in what is best described as nothingness, while only having it's thoughts to... Think of. At the same time, it can still see the universe, without interacting with it. What used to be the person then waits in wonder if the afterlife will have another stage, but this never stops... This is some deep philisophical shit- and it has to deal with death and reincarnation. We don't know. That's what this story is about. (WELL, MY BEST GUESS!) TIME TO GO WATCH CATS GET BATHS!!!
A cloud. He has no super strength or redeemable features. He's like all of us, us sentient creatures.

I feel like Tipsy would be great friends with Exurb1a.

Tipsy Duck is a genius beyond the comprehension of most people in the society that is known as now. This is the work of a truly opened minded man who can state the obvious that most of the people in this world decide to push under the rug like dust on a hardwood floor. Most people pretend that the world that we live in has no conflict, pain, shame, or hardships of any kind.
+Jacob Clark I feel his only flaw is the fact that people wish to ignore these facts, that people try and only focus on whats presented in front of him and not what it means. Oh, that and he still attempts to be comedic in his works, such as in the scout & heavy in this one, which frankly ruined the experience. I feel if more people were to actually look at his works for what they truly are, not on the surface, then his works would probably be highly praised. But no. They only look at the very surface, such as the scout, and the obvious looping, the details that do not matter. A flaw that isn't his own, yet his own to be.
+Patrickmen11 That is one of the main problems with most of the population today. People can't just appreciate things for what the truly mean.
Then, what does it mean?
at 1:05 i was waiting for something really deep but then just laughed my ass off
So:
The story loops
The dialogue before the story loops.
The last scene is a loop.
Wanting to remain in that one moment is scary.

Oh hello, my deepest, darkest fear. I see you have manifested out of the form that is my nightmare.
I’m sure the repeating fire at the end means something... I got it. Tipsy is trying to show that us people are just like that cloud. Constantly trying to help others even though it’s pretty worthless. We keep trying with other methods, like the cloud did, but it’s no use. Then later on we die. But we are reborn and the painful cycle of the inability to help others constantly keeps going. We have lost the recorder to someone as well... but who could it be? He’s trying to show that... no matter what we do... it’s not special. We’ve tried it before. It didn’t work then, it won’t work now. It’s the very definition of insanity.
your videos are depressing. im subscribing
holy fuck.
"There are monsters everywhere."
".. what--"
“‘I am become death’ said a man on a very cloudy day” that was from Oppenheimer the creator of the nuclear bomb, on the day it detonated.
The cloud will be mist ;P
Tipsy Duck, mmm I love this channel.
My theory:
They live in a world where many things are sentient, but everything has a "tape" attached to it. all sentient things hope their tape will play again when it ends. Each tape has a random length(shown by the earth scene).The father at the start knows his son's tape will end and thinks it will play again, to celebrate, he tells a story of a creature who had their tape play again, a cloud, in the middle of his second time telling the story, his sons tape ends but doesn't play again
Edit: the scene that plays on the second trip are all the clouds that had their tape play again
**sets it on repeat**
This made me cry
_"Sometimes, I think, is this all there is ???_
_Is life just some kind of horrific joke without a punchline ? That we're all just biding our time until the sweet, sweet release of death ???"_

3:56 "For is there anything worse, than thoughts of thoughts?" As someone with OCD I resonate with this heavily
I once spent a year trying not to think of someones name backwards because they said not to, I assumed this meant it was a terrible no-good word as one does, and later found out, that it sounds like anal
It was one of the worst times of my life

I should type a comment about what I'm thinking...

I should type a comment about what I'm thinking
Mind:
on one day a little boy,
of little thought and little joy.
he saw a man who's mind was void,
he wondered if the ever thought, if things like this should be sought.
now this little boy is is lost,

After coming back and watching this multiple years later I see instead of a confusing looping story about seemingly nothing, I see a story about a child waiting until they can be seen as an equal to those they look up to. Except when that time comes they are only ridiculed for things beyond their control, this then turns into depression and eventually suicide to only show the never ending, hellish cycle that is life.
The cloud waterboarding is hilarious
The cloud represents the kid, born motivated and naive, until life got to him, depression and every shitty thing reality has to offer, and then the nightmare occurred, thought the dad, the kid killed himself, and then it becomes a cycle, the dad thought to himself, the world plays again, and again, and a glimpse of reality, the fireplace plays again, and again, and the dad thinking and blaming himself again, and again
But hey, that's just a theory, A FILM THEORY (What I'm trying to say is: noy one theory is correct here, you can make up your own interpretation)
3:34 Notice how the planets (especially the middle one) seem to move at slightly different speeds at different parts of their orbits? You seriously went the extra mile of adding a minute astronomical detail to a 6 second clip which has absolutely no impact to the story, just to be a bit more technically accurate? There was no reason or significance to this. That's what I call dedication.
’okay, 1 bedtime story.’
actually metastory
this dad is evil
I would love a copypasta of this like seriously
The quote the cloud remembers, "I am become death" a man said on a rather cloudy day, is a shortened quote from J. Robert Oppenheimer. The original quote is "Now I am become death, the destroyer of world's", a quote that was said at the first detonation of a nuclear bomb, or if you will, "a rather cloudy day".
This is so deep once you figure out wjat it represents
I JUST *LOVE* BEDTIME STORIES
About a year and a half before I saw this, I stumbled across a joke where they said “stop thinking of pink elephants”
But since they said “pink elephants” I thought of it. Later, I was thinking of something and I thought, “I’m thinking of that”
But then again. “I’m thinking of thinking of that” and eventually I tried to escape. “Maybe I’m thinking of a infinite loop where I sit and think of this for all eternity and thinking of that will help me?” But that turned into a loop too. When I woke up, I thought of thoughts that themselves thought of pink elephants. Eventually, it wore off. But dang is that feeling interesting. To think about what you’re thinking.
A Story of a Cloud
This is the story of
A cloud.
He has no super strength or redeemable features
He’s like all of us, us sentient creatures.
Days and nights the cloud would stand there waiting
For him to align with the spinning world that was raining.
As an overseer, overseeing all
The cloud saw all, especially during rain.
People running with their damp clothes and their drippy, runny noses
With water drops running on window panes.
To himself, he thought, about those men under the weather
How poor they looked, how much they craved helpIt must be in my blood to assist those who yelp.”
So the cloud soared through the rain settling above as a motherly cloak.
And to the cloud, the man spoke
He stared into those eyes of a brother,
He saw his endeavor, acknowledging his effort.
“GET OUT OF HERE YOU STUPID CLOUD!”
Cried the man.
The cloud was feeling less than thrilled, you see
How could he ever help the yelpee
For when caught sight of the cloud, men cried with mighty voices
Profanities out loud.
This heartbreak breaks even the strongest of hearts
Like losing your blood to the painfully parting parts
And that’s… when it occurred… the nightmare manifested
He wasn’t the revered who was needed, he was the creator of the very thing they hated.
Cloud: the harbinger of damp clothes and runny noses.
From this hell he tried some alternative measures
But even this was deprived of pleasures.
In the devastation he remembered a quote:
“I have become death”
Said a man on a rather cloudy day.
But unlike man, the cloud did not dare to live through this game.
How would he correct his wrongs? He pondered and wondered.
Aha! A huff! And a puff! Rejoiced the cloud in his cubicle room.
Solved it I have I did! Aced the test.
The oven, my final rest.
A thought did pass his now boiling brain
What would he become in the next life?
Would it be another life in vain?
A life enveloped in shrouds?
He even dreamed of becoming those ridiculing men, ridiculing clouds.
Before drifting to that obscure space of consciousness and naught,
After the passing regret of death,
The cloud drifted and passed, rocked to the void by blazing waves.
Little did, however the little cloud know.
That cloud remains don’t fall to earth, but swirl to the sky
And thus, the cremated steam whirled and whirled
Across the trees and backgrounds of blue skies
Up! Up! Closer to the sun!
There, in the midst of nothingness and all,
Where the air is as light as a feather,
The atoms collided together in dances of seduction together.
Like that, struggled into consciousness, sky mothers too,
A cloud.
Thoughts of thoughts
Be a witness with disconnected eyes
All be, projected upon them
Damn be, the wheelturning, backwards barking dog
For, is there anything worse
Than thoughts of thoughts?
He had hit the record unknowingly,
And lost the recorder in the hands of another
Lost the chance for rewinding and re-recording
Now he waits, for the tape to run out again.
To eternally return…
And…
Play again.
This video explains the cycle of life, the theory that we all are one consciousness, living every type of life in order to become smarter, to experience what it is to live to the fullest, since this consciousness is split into multiple versions of itself, it doesn't know what's happening until the end of its mortal body, hence why the older you get, the smarter you become. This video is a spiritual and science treasure, made by one truly remarkable entity, with vast knowledge on multiple subjects. We should cherrish from this artistic endeavour and only learn. That is the meaning to all. To learn.
I think that Tipsy duck is the only one in the universe who truly know the meaning of life. Only he holds the key to the universe, the key to what it means and what we don't know, only he understand what the fuck he is doing in his videos...... And he probably doesn't fully understand it either.
the book that the dad is reading says "fusion engineering for dummies" and idk how he found a story about a cloud in that book
I just realized I'm writing out the same grocery list that I made last week. The same one I make almost every week with very few variations and I'm staring at my pen, trying to think of something to write down that will force me to challenge myself, try a new culinary creation, taste a new flavor... and there is naught. I am repetitive and life has no meaning.
Just like good poetry, I don’t understand a fucking thing
The thoughts of thoughts text doesn't even make any sense, yet it makes me cry for some reason I do not understand
I love this video. It's helping my method acting for the play _"Psychosis"_
You might not have won saxxy but you def won our hearts
“Don’t worry one day you’ll realize there are monsters everywhere.”
“WoT”
Although this video is dark, it's nonetheless very creative and very well thought out (and not to mention "thought provoking").
Medic seems Like a good father If He wasnt insane
