I wanna sing one for the cars
That are right now headed silent down the highway
And it's dark and there is nobody driving And something has got to give

A loaf with no watch fetish ep and bonus Nerf gun guys is a blessed loaf indeed

(checks out the newest fplus on bubblegum at 4 am)

Oh God, the additional episode art is like the creepiest version of Elon musk I've ever seen and it's not even Elon musk.

Listening to the bubble episode and I am thoroughly convinced that Gmax is autistic as gently caress.

I actually didn't get an autism vibe from Gmaxx. Usually when I (and other autistic people I know) get fixated on a particular line of thought, it manifests as going way in-depth and veering off onto tangents (see: Khursten, the guy right before him). Gmaxx just revisits the same points over and over again, and doesn't actually seem to know too much about chewing bubblegum.

I'm always glad for fplus, it makes me remember that despite being autistic and also having fetishes I could never possibly be as bizarre as these people

There's a lesser thing that bugs me about this episode. Soaking the bubblegum ahead of time makes sense as a shortcut.

If you want to get a piece of gum wet and pliable, you can chew it and chew it until your mouth gets it moist. Or, just let it soak in some clean water for a bit. And the dude wanted a bubble that'd take, what, a dozen or two dozen pieces of gum?

The bucket full of wet gum thing is still weird, but it's not Homestuck kink weird. It's pragmatic "huh" weird.

It's the most endearing kind of cringe. The Hamilkids ep of extra credits was great because I probably would have written almost that exact same fanfic as a teen, except replace Hamilton with RENT or Wicked

There's something magical about poorly-written stories. Relistening to the amputee fetish episode and I can't stop laughing about the amputee-happy doctor and the weird terms like "accident place".

The vintage conspiracy theories episode is wholesome in it's own weird way. Or at least not as toxic as contemporary theories.

Edit: As for literature, it's hard to measure up to this episode about Morgan Blayde. A man armed like a gun merchant, fueled by booze, yadda yadda tadda
