Ok
I love you dad

Always a good day when wendigoon uploads 😁
I feel bad for Washington. In the original Cherry Tree story, he’s only a child. That means the horned serpent form must have only had the emotional maturity of a child.
I honestly wonder if he’s still sentient or aware as the horned serpent. Like would it be possible to communicate?
@@Casual_degenerate HE CANNOT STOP CRYING
They refer to George Washington as a founding father in the Deanverse so he must've been sent to wonderland as an adult
@@lucasa9480my understanding is that he was replaced by his duplicate, who continued as history said
@@Marco-dl5sj What? Care to elaborate?
It’s crazy how between the first wendigoon video about this series and this one the series went from conspiracy thriller/cosmic horror to basically just evangelion
it's just schizophrenic ramblings
just because you can't understand it does not make it evangelion, weeb

@@okaysurefinewhateverBEST. COMMENT. EVER.
A friend of mine is in NYC and I got uneasy looking at her pic of the statue of liberty in her story. My mind just immediately went "smell of raw flesh" and "they need to feed the statue". Then today, I walked by a massive statue of a woman in my city that's similar to Freedom and I kept anxiously staring at her to make sure she wouldn't move. The Monument Mythos did the damage for me.😂
Grow up, corny ahh
same lol, i already wasn't super interested in going to NYC but now if i ever do i'll be looking at the statue like YOU BETTER NOT
@@RoachDoggJr106stop being boring
@@marnenotmarnie259it’s called being _sane._
I saw the Statue of Freedom in person recently and it made me so uncomfortable. 😂
Got to say, I laughed out loud when you mentioned that the community voted not to punish James Dean despite the evil he displayed, and how they were yelled at for their loyalty to a foul character. Isn't that just a brilliantly ironic reflection of real life?
It's like Alex was kinda pissed he had to write an alternate script 😂
I do wonder what he had in store for ol' Jimmy in the event he was chosen to be "punished"
@@kikrinman1450what a mystery
I like to think that Wendigoon never actually erases anything from the whiteboards and just gets new ones instead. Somewhere out there is a storage room full of potentially hundreds of this man's conspiracy whiteboards.
The end of Raiders of the Lost Ark...but instead of crates it's all the whiteboards.
I would buy a windagoon white board in a heartbeat
Being examined by...top...men
@averynewtown2782 he should do like a charity auction and sell them
honestly I would buy and frame his whiteboards. Mans make works of art with those
my theory about everett is that when virginia saw him the first time, he wasnt actually a grown man and was rather the middle stage between a stretched baby and a fully fleshed out tree man, he was actually just a young boy that had been stretched out to appear taller and to a young girl she couldnt tell the difference between an inhumanly tall young child and a grown man
That is actually a fantastic explanation I hadnt thought of. Its my headcannon now thanks.
Oh that's interesting 🤔
I wonder how Everett got clothes.
@@CalvinNoireoff dead bodies?
@@Axioanarchist maybe.
Just a quick point that it appears that the tree in the animation of Washington is an apple tree, not a cherry tree. Which aligns with Virginia in Wonderland, where Rockefeller quizzes the kids on American history. Based on Virginia’s drawings, he tells the kids that Washington cut down an apple tree, while the kids tell him it was a cherry tree. Just a small but notable detail
The alcatraz checkmate is the funniest thing to me. "Nice try wench, [ALCATRAZ CHECKMATE]"

I like this idea!

It made me tear up a little. Such a beautiful way of saying it.
Absolutely
Ye
the first cornerfolk video is also an example of humans getting hurt by meddling in things they shouldn't. The cornerfolk weren't hostile, they didn't cause any harm. They just relaxed in the corners of his home when he weren't there, or jumped quickly through corners when he was. It wasn't until he decided to go into the cornerworld then he got hurt. The cornerfolk and the cornerworld aren't evil, they just exist, and the cornerworld wasn't suited for a human so he got hurt.
Maybe in the corrnerfolk videos he didn't delete lol I did not get the same impression with the original Corrnerfolk series but he may have changed the lore

The human equivalent would be, going to an african restaurant while waving a CSA flag and wearing a clan robe. Of course you get schooled
Why did they have to trespass though?

I like how he's so happy about being right that Dean isn't a good guy but sweeps under the rug how much he was saying the ada were good guys 😂😂
I cannot get over how clever Alex is. It's as if someone finally managed to make sense of all the profound, hilarious, crazy shit your brain comes up with when you're stoned af, and translated it into worldbuilding.
The pure, unadulterated joy on Wendi’s face as the series confirms Dean is the Devil is so funny 😂
Nick Nocturne will never recover from this.

Alex's channel sharing a name with the constellation of good people who literally smile down on the world that they changed for the better feels very profound, knowing how his father became a big influence in the direction of the story.

I find it rather morbidly comforting that giza glass is canonically so sharp that wounds caused by it do not cause any pain.
and you get to have a part of you wireless to boot. personally would cut myself with that shit
right like sometimes I kinda wonder how that would feel, like, I’m very morbidly intrigued by it as well. Since it doesn’t cause any sort of pain, I wonder how someone would feel mentally if they got their finger cut off by magical glass💀
@@munchi674Its likely so sharp that the wounds destroy the nerves on where cut, this is just my idea of how it could work in our world.
@@munchi674I’m glad I’m not the only one lol, I’ve wondered if you could cut it off with Giza glass and make it wiggle around like an RC car
@@mmmmmonkey6372it’s not that it cuts the nerves clean that there is no pain it’s because the nerve’s pathway is never really interrupted so it has no reason to register pain
as someone who lost his sister in February, I absolutely love how grief is tied into this and how much this truly means. I agree that no one is ever truly gone, and I am grateful that he was able to be blessed with that
Hang in there, 🤴or👸
"No one's ever _really_ gone."
1:08:15 “so the government has him transform into the figure of jesus on the cross as a show of american peace and prosperity… and then tells him to go carpet comb vietnam”
The most American sentence ever spoken.
Ah yes, Jesus, the peaceful and prosperous homeless preacher who once said “I bring not peace but a sword, dividing brother and brother, father and son” etc etc
To the whole "everyone's dumb for liking James Dean" thing:
If grief makes monsters, then charisma makes slaves
It's so easy from the outside to look at this and be like "that would never be me!" but for the people actually living through it, it's not obvious at all - and probably feels rational and morally correct to support him. Just like real life politicians
I don't like Dean, lmao
Yeah. Real smart, aren't u 🧠
I mean really get a grip
People are extremely susceptible to cults of personality. Hell, American political discourse revolves around them nowadays. Rarely does anyone tak policy; it’s about which candidate you are with or against, in a perfect binary with no room for compromise or third options.
1:40:14
"We know the Horned Serpent is George Washington so, THAT doesn't make sense."
This moment sent me into a near-fatal laughing fit. My word, after all the absurdist goings-on created by Alex, the fact that George Washington being an eldritch God-Serpent morphed by unknowable cosmic forces because he tried to cut down a friggin' cherry tree is the sensible part of all this reaaaaally says something about the Monument Mythos experience.
George Washington tryd to break the universe's glue and it turned him into Cthulhu
Same here.
I went full bonkers on this serie,.and trying to explain stuff to my people using that kind of phrase (like "George Washington is a horned serpent the size of earth" and such) really didn't helped my case xD
😂😂❤❤
Erm acktually it was an apple tree in the Dean-Verse ☝️🤓
About Eunice-remember that the angel's ashes can cause a shift as small as a decision, with the decision itself having massive fallout and affects in some way shape or form. I believe that in the Deanverse, Howard may have actually talked her down from the bridge, whereas in the Cliftverse, he didn't get a chance to because of the angel ashes shifting things.
In light of the similarities identified between monument mythos and evangelion, I would actually love to see Wendigoon cover a full evangelion timeline as I think he’d be great at explaining it and he would have some interesting theories 😂
I have no interest in evangelion, and I think if I tried my brain might detonate, but if he does a vid on it I might just watch it
@@spectoestis3106it will be worth it I swear
It's so crazy how some people just decide one day "I'm gonna create a fucking universe" and then do it. The whole thing with The House in the Ocean and his dad passing away kind of gave me goosebumps too
I always wondered how people like HP Lovecraft, Tolkien, And Junji ito get inspired for making interesting universe's like these, probably observing things and making it more interesting with their imagination.
@@CalvinNoire As someone who is working on another universe I can confirm this is how it happens, at least for me. It's an alternate history so I just base it off a "what if" scenario and take inspiration from different historical figures and stories to craft my characters and lore.
@@kiplingwasafurry1108 Very Cool!
@@CalvinNoirehat's exactly how it happens. you just need to be creative enough to imagine your own world, and work on it. That's how i do, getting inspiration from random media and places, then creating something new or that i find fascinating.
I think with the recent push in the US's media for big franchises and multiverses, as well as D&D's boom in popularity I think it's really opened up writers to think about not just a story, but an entire world of stories.
I love the trend of alliteration that Alex does. Giza Glass, Lincoln Looker, Washington Wanderer, Golden Gate Girl, Airforce1 Angel.... it's so satisfying
It really is
DEANDEVIL
Yes! Comic books do that a lot too with peoples' names. Not all of them, but a lot of alter-egos and supporting character have alliterative names. I'm sure Alex is a comic fan to some degree based on the images he uses for some of the characters in his series.
Liberty Liars
As someone who lost my father and loves him so much, you describing the journey of “The House in The Middle of The Ocean” made me cry, that’s so sweet and beautiful and such a true sentiment. I love that.
Imeadiately when you started describing the cornerfolk I was reminded of a short story written and published in the early 1900s by Frank Belknap Long called "Hounds of Tindalos" essentially (if I remember corectly) one of the main characters friends attempts to enter/peer into a sort of negative or unclean reality that exists seperate to ours, and when he does, these, indescribable eldritch creatures described as hounds sense him and catch his sent. These beings will relentlessly hunt those they mark, and they can cross from the unclean reality and into ours through corners or angles of any kind. So, this unfortunate fellow, rightfully believing hes being hunted (though appearing mad to everyone else) starts plastering up his entire room to try and make the interior completely sphereical. Probably not related but I just thought it was a cool comparison
That’s fascinating!! Thanks for this comment!
I immediately got that reference and that’s made me like the creator of MM more. If you’re interested in other stories inspired by the “Hounds of Tindalos” there’s a series here on yt by Wham City Comedy called “Children of the Mirror”. It’s made by the same guy as “This House has People in it” and “Unedited Footage of a Bear”. It’s sooo good and funny, and it’s a short watch too!
Lost my mom about a month ago. To paraphrase my dad: "If someone's passing hurts, it means they did a good job."
That's really helped me, I think.
Prayers for Alex.
On a less serious note, I cannot wait for the next "Without Context" video.
im sorry for your loss man, i hope youre holding up good, and im sure shes proud of you :) ❤❤❤
I’m so sorry, I can only imagine how hard it must be
Sorry to hear about your mom stranger. Think of the good times, take each day as they come and never forget to take time to care of yourself.
Sorry for your loss brother hope all is well
i'm sorry for your loss man, things will hurt for a while but it will get better eventually.
The freedom statue was always the creepiest one for me. The short video of her peeking around the corner seemingly from the ceiling jumped me so bad.

@@Mgm1244don’t forget the affinity for taking heads & also skin
And that weird stretching sound, I dont know what it is but holy fuck that gives me the ultimate fight or flight response from my inner primate genes
hearing the part where wendi explained why alex took the house in the ocean off of youtube really struck a nerve in me. i lost my brother in july of 2022 and hearing the phrase "no one is gone forever" and hearing about how that person stays with us through the form of memories and times you had experienced with that person made tears stream down my face. alex is truly a talented person and it shows how much thought and effort he puts into his work. this is why monument mythos is one of my favorite series on youtube.
I just realized something: most of these beings may be powerful, mysterious and larger than life, but at the end of the day, they are still human at heart. They are all cursed with a painful/exhausting existence, some of which even have emotional struggles (the Last Son's arc for example), and I think this makes these characters wayy more personal than we give credit for. Just imagining what it's like to have to sacrifice yourself for the sake of _the entire planet_ or to get your existence infinitely stretched... these may never be relatable situations to me, but showing real/personable people go through all that not only heightens my investment for the series as a whole, but to properly give me the full picture of everyone's agony in this series. Lots of absurd pieces of media could never get me to contemplate for the ultimate lifeforms and the impossible as much as this series. It makes stuff like the ending, the "grief can make you a monster" quote and the themes of unity with family scattered throughout so impactful, more than if you just look at the goofy ahh entities and go "wow"
This series is so cool man
A two and a half hour Wendigoon video is the best thing I could ask for

china being turned into a nuclear wasteland is the best thing I could ask for but to each their own I guess...

And that's just for this week
Especially on this topic
Every time he mentioned the killer wood chips I started laughing. The entire house on the ocean segment felt like a fever dream and made me feel like I was slowly going insane
that was my favorite segment tbh. I still wish I could get a Chase plushie
Omfg at the time I had seen that Crimson King Video had been deleted so when it went up and with how much like a fever dream it was I decided to screen record it in case it got deleted because I was so convinced it was going to only be up for a little while and then be taken down as a big troll
I haven’t watched the Nixon verse. So H U H?
I thought I was having a fever dream bc I was dozing off listening to it.
@@placeholderdoe it’s worth watching. It has a different feel from the normal monument mythos and some of it feels like Alex is just shitposting but it has a really good story
2:17:34 it’s great to see the most important character in the series is alive and well
When I first watched the Fallen Father video, I paused to read all the text that was hard to see, and I got emotional because I had the feeling that those were very personal messages. And then it was confirmed to me afterward. The fact that it affected me so much without telling me plainly what Alex was going through, is pretty admirable.
And then I found myself bawling my eyes out over the final installment of the series. What a wonderful send off.
Together. ❤
I’d like to imagine that that only the Us is apocalyptic. Like the rest of the world is looking at the Us like ‘are they ok? Should we help them?’ ‘no no they’re fine, I think’
Every other country somehow floating through space and time after washington comes out of his shell: *Come on!! This is the 5th time this month you get into another apocalyptic disaster!!! Turn it down already!!*
Looking at them like "Wat dey doin ova dere?"
the suez canal crab is an entire video, the apocalyptic shit is worldwide
You say that like it isn't how the rest of the world already look at the us

Hats off to Mr. Manticore for his lifelong dedication to some of the most unique storytelling and universe building that I’ve ever seen; a mix of conspiracy, absurdity and cosmic horror with some beautiful personal touches that gets under your skin and sticks with you. While watching this video something was knocked loose in my memories and I remembered the name of a cosmic horror book trilogy that has haunted me since I was very young: the silver sequence (silver child, silver city and silver world) by British author Cliff McNish. The scene of the martian horned serpent barreling through space towards earth that can only stopped by tragic figures that have been mutated by forces beyond their comprehension particularly reminds me of this series and I wonder if the author took inspiration from it. I can find almost no content about these books online and I sometimes feel like I’m the only one who’s ever heard of them but they made an impact on me like this video has and made me love cosmic horror. Has anyone else read these books or made this connection?
I already nearly cried at Virginia's story, with her losing Everett. I nearly cried at Cthonaut C's story, with him also losing Everett, funnily enough. But the lines at the end, "What are you made of?" "Good people." finally got the water works going for me
I absolutely lost it at "Together"
I lost it at "Good people" that hit me hard XD, started getting teared eyed inmediatly
"What are you made of?"
"Good People."
Man.. How tf is this series making me cry so damn hard
Its so absurdist but I love it so damn much
Glad to hear I'm not the only one who teared up a bit at that
how is it absurdist😭
@@puntana
"Absurdism - intentionally ridiculous or bizarre behaviour or character."
because a president of the united states going into an inbetween realm with "special trees" and becoming a goliath monster that hatches inside of the earth or a president becoming essentially god after surviving the eternal collapse of the universe is 100% realistic and not intentionally ridiculous or bizarre XD
@@DecoyZ thought you meant absurdism as in the ideology, mb
the ending made me tear up. everybody fusing together.. saving the world. it was really beautiful
A couple theories I have (I am not a part of the community, new to this series as of yesterday):
Washington Wanderer is Virginia. The caption at the beginning of S3 “A new song began on February 22”. The Washington Monument tree plays music. Everett mentions Virginia‘s copy singing to him in wonderland. She also points to the special tree in Everett’s story and the Wanderer is pointing down to the special tree in the Monument.
Cthonaut A is Alex (effectively “God” of the story as its author)
Cthonaut C is possibly a representation of his (Alex’s) dad. He becomes a father figure to Everett and eventually dies.
My theory is that time is relative in Wonderland. Since the kids in the beginning of Virgina's story touched the tree at the same time, the lives that were traded were equal, so both kids crossed over without consequences. And when Virginia was older, both her and her other self touched the tree, but the clone wasn't pregnant. So the trade wasn't equal, meaning Everett was lost in Wonderland, with no life to be traded for his. The same could be said for Washington, who chopped at the tree, but it's possible his other self didn't, meaning he was lost in Wonderland, with nothing to trade
I feel like this helps explain a lot of things more consistently, thank you!!
Time doesn't exist in Wonderland; Alex talked about it in the Q&As.
@@MHF013time is relative, time doesn’t exist, what’s the difference, really?
geto pfp!
@@MHF013 That also makes sense. I assumed everything in Wonderland was happening super slowly compared to the real world. But there being no time at all also works
I feel like the design of Angel, Freedom, and Everett are severely underappreciated. The more perfect union has one of the coolest inhuman designs I've ever seen, and the idea that Angel, Freedom and Everett all could've become something so much worse, but stuck to being good when given the chance is beyond heartwarming.
hard agree, the Angel specifically hit me harder than the other two though
like... these people, having been through basically hell due to the worst kind of apathy and disregard for the lives of one's subordinates, make the conscious choice not to tar all of humanity with the same brush, to use their newfound place in the universe and act as a protector of those who cannot protect themselves, as the angel themselves once could not. idk, maybe that's me being melodramatic. meaningful to me, though.
Literally an angel.
Did u forgot how freedom merked like hundred of ADA protestors under the orders of James Dean 💀, definitely not a benevolent entity
@@RivLabsI mean evereret hits the hardest for me since the poor dude started suffering before he even left the womb he was teleported out into wonderland and then was stuck as a tree for who knows how long until the union happened
"Is everything okay at home"
Amazing. And yes actually. Just love a good breakdown of awesome stories by someone who matches the energy my best friends bring to the table
I truly did love the way the three big characters went out its a rare and heartwarming sight in analog horror
Alex doing it for his father (who he passed away) and made Richard Nixon a Doctor Manhattan-like character is just god-tier in storytelling. I hope his father knows that his work will be remembered by everyone who got invested in Monument Mythos. I guess I can’t wait for Season 4, so take your time. *Thanks for everything*
there will be no season 4. season 3 literally had the most perfect ending. every loose end was tied up
@@thatonelad3315Alex confirmed in a community post ages ago that there are plans for a season 4, but that whether it happens or not is dependent on the reception of season 3. Personally, I loved it, loads of fun and so much cool new stuff.
Wanted to keep scrolling to see if literally anyone would mention that based on the image alone of Nixon sitting on the Moon, it is at least in part a Watchmen reference as Nixon is the president for life in that and the most famous meme image is Dr Manhattan sitting on Mars
Your teaching skills as a Sunday school teacher really shine with how you present these abstract stories in such a constructive way
100%. Dude was born for this.
You really wouldn’t think there’s much overlap between being a Sunday school teacher and a horror RUclipsr, but I can see it.
everything is structured so well, I don’t think I could reexplain this in a compressive way lol
@@MeanBeanComedyong he’s a natural teacher I’m so glad his channel blew up over the last couple years
@@ethanhobbs7278 bro loves horror because he can’t be scared when he got god on his side
I just found out through the official wiki that there’s a ninth member of the Arnoldson family (assuming you count Leonard). His name was Allan D. Arnoldson. He was born in1893 and attended the University of Florida. He was among the seventeen American soldiers who perished in Operation Pyramid Plasma and became the Angel.
He and his 16 comrades were only mentioned by name in Version 2 of the deleted episode “PYRAMIDPLASMA”.
As someone who lost someone vary dear to my heart who I use to watch this series and your videos with this video made me cry tears of sadness and joy. For my husband, "I will always think of you." May 30, 1993 - July 31, 2023
Quite possibly my most anticipated RUclips video ever. I have been DYING for a breakdown of the last season.
on goodness
Samee
Definitely mine as well.
real
The wait has been agonizing!!!!
"Good People" hit me like a freight train and I have no clue why, thus series never seemed to emotionally hook me like others did until that moment
Made me tear up man. Didn’t need that. Such an amazing series. I cannot wait for more.
i had never heard of this series before and only just started watching wendigoon. let me tell you, that was the most outlandish and wild video i have ever seen. mad respect to the guy who even started the series, the creativity is awe-inducing. just the idea that this was something someone came up with in their head and then made a whole series about, and then some guy on the internet makes a whole analysis on it, is crazy. super cool !
This series has me in a permanent state of "wow holy shit thats cool" and "wow that so fucking stupid" I cant decide if im im more impressed or more baffled by the things happening in this universe
same here.
Same, a lot of things I thought were really while a lot of things I thought were extremely stupid
I’ve been binging your videos on this series while crocheting, and plan to watch all of Alex’s videos. I love it, this type of storytelling is so in-depth and interesting, I love the ties you’d never expect, and the details that seem so small turning out to be huge points in the story
Analog horror with a good ending? That's super rare
Just realized that the Monument Mythos literally ends with them saving the universe using the power of friendship.
oh god they litteraly destroy an orb (it make's an orb shape kinda) this is the 3rd time this has happened.
The Ed Dwight arc is actually incredibly meaningful, very close to my heart as a stoyteller
Never would I have thought when starting a series I assumed was some Lovecraftian horror series on RUclips, would I have thought I would be sobbing at the beautiful messages Alex was able to create about his father and grief, and the ending with union. Seriously, amazing writing by Alex.
The entire Monument Mythos theorizing history summed up is
“Yeah that’s probably just a coincidence.” “This is probably irrelevant” “It’s an entirely different series, stop trying to connect it to Monument Mythos. It’s not canon.”
“ITS CANON???”
Umm so what 🐳

I've been watching Wendigoon since he released his video on that story about the stairs appearing in random areas in a forest. Since then, I watch almost every video I can. Thank you so much for your dedication and hard work for your channel! I've become so well informed because of you and you've saved me from a lot boredom. 🙏 I wish you all the best man

The words 'good people' really broke me.
I hope in some way somehow Virginia got to see her son do something incredible.
If the Washington Wanderer is Virginia then maybe I guess?
But the question is are they still psychologically present or is it just their biomaterial that was used to mutate good Ole George? If it's the latter, she definitely saw it with her son by her side.
Your enthusiasm for being right about Dean the Devil was so pure and sweet, oh my goodness.
The fact that Alex made all the other stuff as a result of the support he got is amazing. It's lovely to see x
"Grief is just love with no where to go"
but Alex put his love into this series and therefore received love. It's just a small part of healing because filling the spot a loved one left empty is impossible. But he re-directed the adoration for his father and made something wonderful which in turn gave many of us joy. Even if we only consume it through Wendi and his passion for MM.
His father's love keeps on giving.
Wendigoon's multihour long videos feel like 40 minutes because it's so entertaining to watch.
They truly are first time I found his channel i binge watched em all for a few days
yup, I like to sleep to em too

RUclips ad in the middle of a wendigoon vid:
"No one tells stories like Audible🎶"
Me with my best Dwight impression: "FALSE!"
I watch you bc there is no way i could possibly understand the tale on my own. You are my chosen tribute.
Also I highly believe that Alex has made an actual perfect devil bc Dean does the most fucked up shit but bc he is Dean we are just like "Im sure he had his reasons". You know i think about this, this truly is a masterpiece of a story.
I haven't finished the episode yet, but I just realized that in Virginia's story, she talked about how the people who tried to climb the Special Trees just before they flash end up *stretched across the Trees.* What if the reason why George Washington ended up transforming is that instead of normally moving around Wonderland he tried to climb a Special Tree, got stretched across the Trees, and by the time he got out of Wonderland he ended up The Horned Serpent? Virginia said it felt like 500 years to her, and she saw him (or at least people suffering the same fate), so he probably had plenty of time to stretch that much.
Yep thats what happened to old georgey
Yes that is the story
I don't know if you say this, but the fight between Freedom and the Air Force One Angel was based on a piece of fanart that depicted a what-if scenario of a DBZ-esque battle between these two. Mister Manticore even posted a comment on it once. So he decided to make a piece of fanart canon because he thought it looked cool, that is amazing!
Just watched both videos together once again. First of all, 6h well spent. Second of all, the special trees are such a cool way of portraying Yggsrasil. Didn't realize when watching or the first time seeing your breakdown, but this time it just clicked, when the creation myth of the tree and serpent was mentioned. What a series.
I remember when The House On The Ocean disappeared from his channel. I was sad to see it gone but that one line about it being in our mind hit me like a truck. Didn’t realize that was the intention until now. That’s incredible.
I always get a deeper appreciation for these ARG or Unfiction projects after listening to someone else do passionate deep dives into them.
I know - I can't seem to wrap my head around these unless someone lays it out in front of me, foremost, but afterwards I can appreciate these authors and artists so much more.
One of the hardest moments in fiction was when the knight's amalgamated face is shown with the text "Grief can make you a monster." Never have i ever gotten chills so quickly from a moment like that
When is that shown in the video?

I used to work near the Rockefeller plaza, and anytime I was on lunch-break, or leaving to go home, id walk past the plaza (or the tree during the holidays) and get the chills
The House in the Ocean legit made me cry. That “no one is gone forever” at the end really hit me hard. I don’t think I will ever watch a better more creative commentary on losing someone. I know it must have been a hard choice for Alex, but I am so grateful that he ended up uploading it again.
Also, I have been to the real Alice Avenue statue! It is actually the Lois Lane statue in Metroplis, IL!
Why did he take it down?
Ah he just described it around 1:10:00
idk, the girl I knew in college that died in a car accident is still gone; and my memory of her keeps fading as time goes on
@@pyropulseIXXI that’s the whole reason Alex took it down in the first place. You can watch around 1:10:00 again for an explanation of why he did stuff the way he did and even why he decided to put it back up. There’s a tumblr post somewhere about us being an amalgamation of all the people we have known in our life. I still write like a girl I knew in elementary school even though I haven’t seen her in 20 years. Pieces of people live on in us and I believe that’s what Alex’s message was supposed to be. It’s okay if you don’t feel like that though.
I got such a strange feeling when Wendigoon spoke about Alex’s father (I hope he rests in peace). Specifically to when Alex decided to remove the House in the Ocean series and Wendigoon expresses that the thing you loved just isn’t there anymore to interact with, only a memory. And myself who hasn’t seen the series and hearing that something existed without knowing that it did evoked a weird feeling in my heart that’s hard to express because it reminded me of my own father who I’ve never met. In a weird way it is kinda moving tho and now I definitely want to watch that series
The story of Alex’s father is really moving and I’m glad he has shared that information. My dad died in 2016 when I was in my early 20s. Missing him never stopped, and I hated the erosion of time on my memories and feeling like they were grains of sand that slipped through my fingers no matter how hard I tried to hold on. And then my son was born. He shares several physical attributes of my dad like a cleft chin, but also constantly moves his feet and rubs them together like a cricket as a self-soothing technique, something my dad did all the time.
He truly isn’t gone, pieces of him live on through my son. It gives me great comfort.
DEAR GOD I REMEMBER CORNERFOLK, it's mind-blowing to raise that those are connected to this series!! I remember just stumbling across the cornerfolk videos and thinking, "wow, this is cool, I wonder what up with this? Would love more."
_Little did I know_
I love how the first video Wendi did covering Monument Mythos was just scary and typical internet ARG elements. But then the second video Wendi did covering Monument Mythos was full of heartbreaking and heartwarming moments that make this series feel like it's different stuff.
we have a lot more context, less mysterious. still mysterious tho
Dude that fucking "Good people" line genuinely made me cry, it has a sort of bittersweet feeling that FNAF had when you realize the souls just wanted to be free but couldn't. So in order to spare people from the suffering they had, they sacrificed themselves to save the lives of many. Alex is someone that many writers should look to as a role model and I know his father would definitely be proud of this.
Me too I teared up and I felt like it was even saying it’s okay to say goodbye
I’m in my 40s and just so blown away at the talent, wisdom and profundity of both Wendigood and Alex. This entire series is just so incredible and complex and I’m having a blast watching all of this phenomenal content.
I hope you don't take it badly, but I've watched the first video like 10 times to fall asleep and I've woken up to that video another several (different) times. I had no context the first time I stumbled into that video, but your channel was already one of my favourites because of your iceberg series. I love your content and I love the sweet nightmares that it creates while sleeping. I also very much enjoy your videos awake. Keep the good work, lots of love. Great voice.
Mid work day seeing a 2 hour Wendigoon drop is truly the greatest gift anyone could ask for.
Fr. Long form videos like this are just the thing I needed for work.

The gift ever

Truly. Helps with the 10 hour shifts.
