So, All Night Laundry (see previous post) is sort of partially-interactive fiction. The author plans out a rough outline at least a little bit in advance, but the characters also respond to reader commentary and sometimes do what the readers suggest. At the start of the comic, the author was putting in links that let you skip from update to update, jumping over all the reader comments that are also in the thread.

I’ve gotten to a point in the comic where the author stopped adding those links, and I am unjustifiably annoyed at some of the readers considering that I could just scroll past faster and not read their comments.

I tried to make this spoiler-unspecific but it is kind of a hint about some things that happen later.

All Night Laundry is, like, exactly the maximum amount of suspense/horror I’m capable of handling. And/but it’s really good and I’ve been reading it all day.

(Contains: blood and moderately gory injuries, syringes, big scary animals, mind control, weird magic powers, scary existential “is this real or just a dream?” type stuff, being trapped in dark spaces, almost drowning. Also a dog dies. Also, bright flashing gifs.)

Edit:

Also hazmat gear and ambiguous fears about ~contamination~ which the main character should know are completely unfounded but which really bug me anyway ugh why

No proper post because I got caught up in fanfic, and also the WWII documentaries Sparkly was watching.

Goebbels was really whiny, apparently. “Spain made such a big deal out of their new propaganda film, but it’s really bad, it’s so bad it’s not even worth explaining how bad it is. American propaganda films are so bad, they’re such amateurs. Our actors are so bad, we need to recruit better ones.”
One of the documentaries had a lot of quotes from his letters (?) and it’s just non-stop stuff like this.
