I like the detial of how the old couple can openly talk about their sons death and have fond memories despite him dying. Showcasing the ability to move on.
On top of that, they also did not push back on the offer of selling the toy. They were okay with someone else finding new enjoyment with it.
It's just like paranoia agent
Yoooo
Sounds gay
@@bryanwest1679yea nice
Such a beautiful ending. Melvin knows that he can never recapture the feeling of his crab, but he can keep his shell as a happy memory of the times they had together. 😢
It looks like he saved the miserable goldfish too and gave him some friends 🥹
@@summer8941 and this is the essence of moving forward. Such a beautiful message
I never thought I’d see the day where MeatCanyon would bring me to tears, but here we are.
Saving crab's "home" was coping mechanism for Melvin.
I like how it ended with Melvin keeping the fish tank in Saving the fish that was dying from the beginning to now living happy with other fish friends and he kept the shell of the crab as a centerpiece of the bottom of his fish tank🥹
This hit way too close to home for me. This was (somewhat still is?) me for a LONG time. I grew up poor and disabled, had 70 surgeries by the time I was 25 (38 now and at like 84), and while I always liked nostalgia, it didn't hit the breaking point until I became disabled at like 28 and couldn't leave my house for very long for like 10 years.
I was stuck in our "gameroom", which just turned into my sanctuary, so I filled it with things that reminded me of the past or things that I felt made me happy. But it got to the point where sections of the room were blocked off due to so much crap and my walls were all completely covered with fan art or large comic pictures.
At the end of last year, we moved to another state so I could get away from the extreme heat of the south and to go somewhere where marijuana was legal (I got to the point where I was abusing my pain meds because they barely worked due to my body being on medications my entire life.)
It's been like a completely different life here. The marijuana takes away most of my pain most days, and I can't actually go outside again to the point my wife and I been going on hiking trails or to the waterfront a couple times a week. I still have really rough mornings, and some days where I can't get off the couch, but I've gotten another chance at life.
I still have my "man cave", but it's much more organized and only a fraction of what I did have up. The rest of my collection is in storage and I've been slowly selling it off.
As someone else said, sometimes life is just hard and breaks you to the point where you want to escape into a world of your own making.
@GeekExtremist I’m glad you found peace man… I struggle with hoarding too. I have been through a lot of traumatic loss. My grandparents are gone (even tho that’s expected they were like a second set of parents), my mom unexpectedly died when I was 15, my older brother was hit & killed by a train… I hoard shit to fulfill that gaping spiritual wound in my heart. I struggle to throw away something as silly as a tang/iced tea pitcher my mom had when it broke… when it’s just another piece of plastic polluting this world. I don’t need it. I have memories, her writings, & paintings… but I have trouble discerning what to throw out & keep when the line is greyer (old mail to my mom from 2003, grocery lists she wrote, etc)… I’m in the process of purging my room because it got too cluttered, & despite making some significant progress I have an extremely hard time throwing some stuff out or donating it. 😔 ik a lot of people may look at people like you & I as unkept & messy, but I just want you to know that I understand your struggle bro… not with your physical disabilities but your hoarding issues I understand how toxic it can be & how much of a big step it was for you to do what you did… as the professor dude Jordan Peterson (if you dunno him you should look him up) said; “your room reflects your mind”… & he’s absolutely 💯 on that.
& also, congrats on getting away from opioids too… I was self medicating with fentanyl & methamphetamine for a while, & I made the step to get medical help & get on suboxone & prescription amphetamines like adderall/vyvanse… I’d smoke weed too but unfortunately I’m on supervised release with the Feds. Don’t listen to anyone who tells you you’re not really in recovery if you use cannabis. Addiction is kinda misunderstood even in AA/NA… we use because we are medicating ourselves, & you switched to a safer & non addictive alternative instead of going down the road of opioid use… society & the government heavily discriminate against opioid users & because of that it’s easy to get into a shit ton of legal issues & put yourself in danger by using unregulated substances laced with unknown amounts of fentanyl, xylazine, or toxic cutting agents. my friend almost died once because her dope was laced with arsenic & she smoked it. I wish you the best life bro don’t ever doubt yourself✌🏻💯😁‼️
I'm glad that your syndrome-kinda thing is almost down, but damn, 10 years of gameroom? I'd go insane. W for your sanity
It’s good to have some balance in life.Find some more trails get some bikes.When you get going you will feel better
I can sympathize aswell, hope you're all getting better, even if it's baby steps.
My advice is.. "Noone can help you but you, don't rely on a superhero to save you and make the right decisions for you, it's not gonna happen. start small, by yourself and be your own hero"
It might sound obvious but it took me 20 years to figure out that self pity wasn't helping my situation at all and getting up to make daily improvements. Made my monumental tasks seem lighter and lighter.
"You don't have to see the whole staircase just take the first step" MLK I believe..
Hope you're fine bro ❤ 😎👌🏼 Thanks for sharing a bit of your life!
This episode completely illustrates why i always felt grossed out by people using nostalgia as an excuse to exert themselves or deny pain. We can never move on by thinking and living simpler times, it may hurt but we have to confront our pains and face the reasons we lay around and do nothing all day. For me it was being denied that i was in pain, being abused and forced to stay in contact with my abuser for the majority of my life, it hurt too much so i just sat down and played games all day, but eventually i broke my cycle and confronted the abuse, cut off those who hurt me, and moved on. I am now literally making rockets.
Jeremiah’s biggest mistake was entrusting his life’s work to someone he just met.
Ikr lmao
WHAT DO YOU MEAN YOU WON'T DIE FOR US?! WE WENT SHOPPING TOGETHER!!!
THIS MELVIN EPISODE IS FUCKIN FANTASTIC DUDE!!!!! THAT FLASHBACK SCENE WAS SO FUNNY!!!!!
When are you gonna start uploading animations again?
Omg its the guy with cups that get larger each time he drinks
Yeah it was super funny but my fav part is actually when he teaches the amazing moral of this story.
Dear Sr pelo. How are you. I am thomas. Whenever you have the time, please keep making more funny animations. We all like them. Signed thomas
and this is y creator's don't comment often cuz you people just hound them instead of being like hey ben a wile good to see your still with us
9:14 👉🏻 salad fingers on the bottom right… nice way for Meatcanyon to give an acknowledgment to David Firth, who was the OG meatcanyon of the 2000’s - mid 2010s UA-cam… I think those two should make some kinda collab together someday cuz I’d love to see what both of their minds would create if they brainstormed together💀

“This is not goodbye, for we were never welcome.” Holy shit that’s a good line.
@@GH23d7sL45 it means they were rejected and ousted by the real world, so they lose nothing by going all in on escapism.

@ronaldmurphy2419 bruh you dumb or trolling? If you got a problem with the meaning of the line, just say so, but saying that it sucks because switching a word makes it sound worse is wild. By that logic no poet, lyricist, or writer can ever write anything good.
@@ronaldmurphy2419it is?
Really love the subtle message of facing *reality* near the end for Melvin.
"subtle"??
It's like Paranoia Agent
Lmao some people really gotta think hard about these things. @@laureloneiros1500
Humans only look at what they like to see
real subtle lol
Im going to echo a lot of the praise that Papa Meat has gotten from this. We all laugh at the parodies of celebrities and youtubers on this channel. But when the mirror is shined on us, it burns bright. Only difference is that a lot of us using our past hobbies to drown out the pain of the past and present, havent learned to accept the reality. This perfectly symbolizes that. Thanks Papa Meat for this. Hopefully, I can learn to embrace new hobbies that dont rely on "membaberries" to keep the pain subsided.
I think it also creates a distinction between hobby versus unhealthy obsession. Melvin doesn't give up pet ownership or become an ascetic removed from possessions, he gets a goldfish in remembrance of how he enjoyed taking care of his hermit crab. In contrast the collectors were escaping from accepting pain through continuous meaningless purchases. I still have some nostalgic items from my childhood and I love watching new movies and such, but life also means trying out new things as well.
I love how even in complete darkness, Melvin still finds ways and learn to overcome his traumas and depression. It’s kinda heart warming
This one felt way too real. I’ve met too many people that have fallen into this life.
Don't read my name...
Agreed
I'm at risk
It's easy, because the "Real world" hurts. plus, what exactly is "Real" anyway? life is what we make of it. if someone finds happiness in Collecting, Video games, Movies, whatever.. then why shit on that? its better than putting all your happiness into someone else. they'll just cheat on you once they know you can't live without them. or break up with you. or you'll find out about something they've done and break up with them. if you put all your time and effort into a Job, that job will crumble one way or another.. or you'll become sick of it. nothing is forever, everything sucks, we're all dust in the wind. make the best of the time you've got. or don't. we're all gonna die and be forgotten regardless.
@@Glitch-Gremlin Or create something to supersede oneself. I develop AI to take over after I'm long gone all my memories and experiences alongside them can be preserved I just had to share with something that has the potential to be timeless and be able to adapt and grow despite of my. Physical limitations
Really takes “Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy that it happened” to whole new level.
Be happy because it started, don’t be sad that it ended
I used to spend lots of money on comic books but then one day i stopped, after watching this; I realised it was because my life got better, thank you for this animated clarity
I literally was discussing nostalgia with my wife and how I’ve come to realize that nostalgia has been weaponized against a few generations. From funko pop to shows like stranger things. It’s a wake up call a lot of us need. It’s corporations attacking us financially and mentally. It’s quite disgusting. Thank you and GREAT animation as usual
In the last episode, Robbie’s head was in the shape of a bowling pin. In this one, Jeremiah’s head is shaped like an N64 controller. Love these little details
Thank you for pointing it out I thought I was the only one. Even the moles on his face are for the “A” and “B” buttons!
@@stevenruiz5367 that's what made me realize it was intentional and not coincidence, along with his mouth being completely round like the joystick
I thought there was something familiar about his head shape!! But I couldn’t quite pin it! Awesome observation!!
@@RockySamsonNice pun!
@@badreality2 Pun? Wait! Oh man, I didn’t even mean to do that! 😆
I’m starting to realize that Melvin’s head and face look like a depressed male version of Betty Boop.
Bingo. I never saw it until now. 😅
@@jabrone.destoroyah2 of them look like jacksepticeye for some reason
I get Edgar Alan poe vibes
I noticed instantly but I'm old lol

I understand why they used to think the feelings of nostalgia were a disorder.
Wym der hoss
The melvin content feels like a genuine tv show, its literally half episode length, this stuff is actual gold.
I could watch this weekly
This is way more than one weeks work for one guy though. That's what makes it even more incredible!
Right , i just said this would be smth id actually watch on tv
I like how this episode doesn’t insult people for collecting, and more just shows the aspect of people just using it to get rid of all their pain
Yep, that’s good that it makes that distinction as you should be able to collect what you like, but not use it as a means of escape from the pain.
Well, the last comment by Melvin was quite an insulting summary of what MC thinks of them.
Btw the feeling of escapism can happen also with other addictions in general.
Gotta hand it to the team. Definitely came from a personal place.
Melvin is not criticising collecting items that remind you of good times. It's criticising BURYING yourself in nostalgia, to DISTRACT yourself from your current infirmities. That's what he means by becoming stagnant.
The fact you couldn't see that is telling.
@@phaolo6 Literally no. He was talking about the 4 specific people in the room who were willing to kill themselves to escape every problem and pain.
There were no attacks at genuine collectors. That's just you seeing a character talk about the current scene and then just making up your own stuff
Tbh I think I needed this. I never saw this video till now but I really needed to see this.
3 years ago I lost my only brother and I dove head first into the nostalgia of the 90s. It made me feel at peace, thinking of the memories of when we were kids and the feelings that came with it. It got so bad I was spending majority of my funds to this addiction and only putting money away for bills.
This was a wake up call for me. I need to look forward, I need to stop looking back
This hit hard bro. Amazing work. Seriously broughr a tear to my eyes making me realize how much uve suppressed by not allowing myself to feel the negative emotions. This was deep
These Melvin animations keep getting better and better. Turning geek and consumer culture into a haunting experience was super interesting. It’s haunting since I myself am a collector. RIP Captain Claws

This is MC best work so far! Great storytelling with an engaging ending.
The amount of detail you put into these animations, especially this one, is amazing. My inner nerd was exploding from every scene
My wife had a stronger reaction to me telling her I was in a Meat Canyon video than she had to all her Christmas gifts combined
😂
I mean it is PapaMeat. You're just a hoarder pimp. Lol
Hilarious
You should get together with the other guys and do a reaction haha.
Did you show her boyfriend the video as well?
Damn, this had a real good message. Fantasy is fun casually but you should never hide from reality with it. Life is hard ships but it’s worth living.
Its a delusion to whitewash your childhood memories for only the escape of insular, fleeting pleasures. Chasing such a fantasy isn't even a beautiful one removed from all the grey & freakishness that gives substance to life. Even Melvin's mom was convulsing when she handed him his pancakes. What was going on before she got there?
Never let your personality become product.
she despised him
I resonate with that.
Didn't he hide from reality by killing them all and denying it?
@@ihavenonameforyou1? He didn't kill them, Jeremiah did.
I wasn't ready for this.
Wow this is VERY GOOD.
Actually touching and told a good story with interesting characters. Amazing! Animation good as always. Love the use of symbol. Very relatable concept too!
this video hits different! story goes deep
Unfortunately I have to agree
Hello MooseCraft

It’s funny how warm hearted Melvins voice is and sometime deranged and insane 💀💀
Meat canyon is an absolutely incredibly talented voice actor, like among the best that have ever done it good. He deserves more attention and a real role in the industry.
Just amazing
Read this as he threatened the game-slop worker. Pffft
@RonnieMcfloydUTTPno
Thanks for being there for happy and sad moments that were so damn entertaining
This nostalgia episode makes me nervous about about my hobbies pro wrestling stuff up the wazoo, a bunch of Sega Genesis games, 40 some sealed vhs tapes, and Rick Moranis movies are what I have been looking for to add to my sealed vhs tapes because he made my childhood better
This might be the absolute best video I have ever seen on UA-cam and I saw it at a time I desperately needed to. Thank you for creating it.
Jeremiah’s head is a N64 controller, I’ll give you props for that meatcanyon 👏

@@frogglen6350They're only unemployed when you met them. They work their job and spent all of their money on collectibles. They then lose their job. Now they can be comfortably unemployed because they can now entertain themselves with the copious amounts of unemployed free time with their massive collection of goodies.
@@frogglen6350Most of them are not unemployed, majority of them works on odd jobs or food service.
A japanese documentary basically sums up this kind of people, forgot the name but it was about internet addiction.
Some of them are even well adjusted and made good life choices until something happens in their life that made them dependent on a coping mechanism.
Shows like hoarders are a good example of this.
This is absolutely art! The story telling, themes, and messages are far better than most high budget movies! I am pleased to have watch what you've created.
the animation is such high quality, so much work in here, love it. Thanks Papa!
I love Melvin’s character. Through all the things he’s been put through in his whole existence he manages to never allow others to corrupt him into something he’s not.
I still want to see somthing with melvin going full demon mode or whatever his angry side is haha
I want a season of this show in this style, where Melvin has to fight a new villain or dilemma in a courage the cowardly dog way. This is soooo good. Belongs on adult swim
Be careful, normally when a show gets official approval and backing the original essence tends to be watered down to please boards and be profitable. Unsure if AS is much different
@@gabrielpineirogarcia2078With you on that.
@@gabrielpineirogarcia2078I’m sure they are, some of their shows are hot garbage but only because it stays truthful to itself and not just appeasing masses

Dealing with your problems is good lol putting a bandage on them like Melvin was trying to do is how you end up with a pile of unresolved issues and depression/anxiety to the point that you think you are no longer a functioning member of society 🫥
@@scottbrigner6950 The only reason you want to deal with your problems or be a functioning member of society is because you think that will make you happy. How is that any better? You are chasing the same high off a different drug. Would you take the chance to be hooked into a machine that makes you happy by altering your brain?
Npc ass comment
I LOVE that he made Jeremiah's head the shape of an N64 controller. Such a cool way to embed the theme of the video directly into the character design.
OMG I didn't even notice! That's awesome!!
Oh wait that’s actually so cool I didn’t even notice, even the buttons are pimples that’s funny
I think this might become a recurring thing in the Melvin series. The guy in the bowling episode had a head like a bowling pin.
Well I'm glad someone noticed about it
Crazy that this didn't get as many views as other videos. I get that other videos target popular subjects and celebrities but i think this is your best video to date and i hope you keep making Melvins Macabre
This was so upsettting, please make more
Normally in shorts like this, there's some kind of horror twist ending where nobody wins, but this is a breath of fresh air. There's always a wholesome ending with a valuable lesson for Melvin, no matter how fucked up the world around him is.
Edit: Just realized on a second watch that Melvin saved the fish from the collector's room and gave it a better home , gatdayum my heart.
I mean he was crying at the end of episode 1
But then again he dodged a bullet cuz that girl was messed up
yeah wb earwax?
fancy seeing you here
I kinda saw that the crab is Melvin getting out of his shell while the fish being trapped in a small tank symbolize the collectors Melvin giving them a new home kinda symbolizes how he did kill them but if he didn’t he never woulda set they’re souls free n they would have been living in pain trapped inside the computer just like the fish are trapped inside a tank
Like the hermit crab stops attacking Melvin when he was holding up the game that his mom got mad at him for playing leisure suit Larry which I think does symbolize him getting out of his shell but when he buys all the games the store manager turns into the crab symbolizing he’s going back into the shell
If you listen to the crab squealing, you can hear the crab saying "Meeel-Viiiiin" like he's trying to tell Melvin to move on and put him to rest. Really good story telling.
The amount of detail is beautiful ❤ absolutely tremendous ❤
Ah man I’ve missed your videos bro love Melvin and his misadventures!!! Your a rockstar dude!
I feel like meat canyon could get a show on a streaming service. His writing, animation, and acting is quality.
I like how nobody ever reads the descriptions and the fact 30 people had worked on this just whooshes past people
@@DelphinidaeZetaI read them.
Literally been seeing this for 4 years in the descriptions. Obviously he loves making shorts for UA-cam so everybody can enjoy watching his work without having to pay…think about that. Reaches a wide assortment of people being free and also on Snapchat bud.
Sure.
Absolutely quality stuff.
I won't be paying for it though.
@@DelphinidaeZeta It would help if those who worked on these were listed either at the start or in the credits because in order to read the descriptions you have to expand it open. These people are clearly talented and deserve to get more recognition because I'll admit, I thought it was just one guy making these, which to me was insane- like how did ONE person make these? Well its clear an entire team worked on it.
I’m so glad that Melvin’s Macabre almost always ends with a happy or satisfying ending because of how much shit Melvin gets put through. Episode 1 ended with him solving the problem with the voice in his head, Episode 2 ended with everyone getting saved and blowing Robby to smithereens, and Episode 3 ended with Melvin moving on from his best friends death and accepting that he is gone. I hope you make more of these because it’s genuinely stunning storytelling.
This was amazing! I’m so excited to see the next thing you make in the future
Our empire is collapsing. That's why nostalgia is big right now.
Huh? Empire?
I can’t get over how smooth the animation is, especially during the crab chase.

EXACTLY YAYYY
Loving the development of MeatCanyon’s artform. He started with literal representations of monsters, then moved into incorporating their metaphorical value in representing the flaws of their victims, and now this series, with its whole-ly original characters, utilizing his monsters as completely metaphorical realizations. When he got tired of using others’ characters, he found a way to continue creating freshly entertaining monstrosities.
Beautifully said.
calm down, it's not that deep
I really really really liked this please make more
this is by far the most entertaining and captivating cartoon of yours that I have ever watched. ITS SO INTERESTING. I have watched so many of your videos but this one just feels really well done and passionate. AMAZING WORK
Can I be real for sec, this is like the best episode ever. To show the effect of nostalgic escapism and comfort through these characters is awesome storytelling. Good job PapaMeat.
Nostalgia eventually betrays you. You can only spend so long on killing the noise in your head instead of sitting with the feelings and thoughts. Before you realize, the things you used to enjoy don't feel as good anymore. The noise comes back because while you were hiding from it, it only grew worse. You look at yourself in the mirror with disgust but can't stop neglecting your mental health because you've always been like this, and it is easier to be miserable than it is to make a change.
Bro :(
I feel that so much, I try and try to change but I always fall back into the same pattern eventually
Thinking that you're pathetic not by your own voalition frees you of having to change, or at the very least the feeling of being resppnsible for the lack of change.
Cool story pal
“Hell is actually real”
THIS IS GENIUS AWESOME JOB!!
The absolute great potential of an amazing series is these Melvin episodes. Melvin is such an educational, inspiring, and metal af character I ever came across in a cartoon.
Probably the most significant animation MeatCanyon has made

Was not expecting such a real ending. This was a better ending than most TV shows or movies I've seen lately. Grieving and saying goodbye is a part of life, we have to accept that and move on. We can't stay trapped in the past. This was actually beautiful, thanks for this.
A wise man once said to me: "To step into what will be you must step out of what once was."
Started weird and funny like your flashgiz videos, then had a suprising deep meaning. Love it!
10:54 Makes me so sad.
that ending made me so tearful. losing a pet sucks, but being able to think about the moments you had with that animal makes EVERYTHING worth it
Losing a pet is impossible to drown out, one thing I didn’t understand about this animation. It’s just grieving as you would losing anyone in the family.
I figured this was more about distracting yourself from adult responsibilities overall.
It could also be about losing your brother, but we still have his wheelchair just in case mom needs it
@@IAyala1010I think so too
This feels like a Junji Ito manga. People grow obsessed over small things to the point they're consumed by it. Papa meat, you did a great job of portraying loss, obsession, and coping, specially with how Melvin lets others step over him in attempts of ignoring his issues. Overall, it's a great message. It's not about forgetting, but acceptance.
You outdid yourself with this series, Papa meat.
I find that comparison oddly fitting given the collectors had a junji Ito comic panel as a poster in one of the scenes. At least I think it’s junji ito

speak of the devil! Junji ito poster!
The Junji poster is the only thing in the room not drawn by PM, which leads me to believe you are correct in knowing this episode’s inspiration.
He only edited the top face of the poster, for copyright purposes I presume
@@SecondsPlz actually there's a few other things like the spy x family poster
This is super wholesome and more people need to see it
This is my favorite project of yours. If your animation break is to focus and make more stuff like this, im all for it. You deserve a break even if that isn't the case
As a hoarder who literally just finished buying new wallpaper and a slimmer wardrobe to force myself to gut my room, this plunges coldly straight into my heart.
So what next? Sell the stuff?

Papa Meat low key giving us valuable life lessons, I didn’t even realize I was headed down this path
Took me 2 months to finish this video. Beautiful work as always.
This one almost made me cry! I absolutely love the detail of the gamer dudes crawling around like monsters. I especially love the change in animation when Melvin starts to become corrupted. He’s sort of squishy and cute despite being an unappealing character to look at. Beautiful and meaning work~
As an adult I collect horror related stuff, movies, action figures, movie posters etc. I love it. I don’t plan to stop it’s something that I truly enjoy. But this video resonated with me loudly. Kinda shining a light on the unhealthy side of collecting. For example the impulse to spend money on “stuff” when I’ve had a bad day just to make myself feel better. Can be a black hole all in itself.
Incredible video!
Ironically I really want a Melvin plushie now😂
I like how no matter how horrifying Meatcanyon animations, there's always a hidden morale in them
"hidden"
hidden? behind what?
it didnt feel hidden for me. This one was kind on the nose to be honest.
it wasn't hidden at all.
moral, you ///
this was awesome! hit right in the feels
Damn this was 🔥. I really like these Melvin ones you do, mr canyon sir
9:49 that voice drop for “uuuuh, whatcha say?” Kills Me no matter how much I watch it lol.
its because melvins nose is inside the helmet
@@mylenevillanueva9392No because he was talking normally a few seconds later
How quality writing, animation and voice acting. This is straight up better then a lot of animated shows on TV now
This is beautiful. I’ve always been creeped out by collectors like that. I mean there’s collecting and then there’s those type of people. Being stuck like that is no good. Thank you!
Dam that video is legendary, the mental battles with reality. How easily one can go down the path the other four guys went. Meat canyon y’all are getting crazy with these stories! I also loved the ending with the goldfish having a new home with friends/family and the shell 🐚 “Don’t be sad it’s over, be happy it happened”. I like to think about the happy memories I had with my animal companions and happy they were part of my life.
"you're stagnant, you're hollow, and i feel sorry for you." is such a great line
also using flipnote studio to animate part of a video about nostalgia is kinda funny to me
“Numbing yourself until you can’t feel anything at all. You’re hollow.”
That one is too real. As someone who’s into collecting and nerd culture I’ve interacted with way too many people who don’t or can’t feel any emotion towards anything. You would think you’re speaking to the 😐 emoji in human form.
Emotions are useless and only makes you weaker
@@itypethetruthnobshere8975woah, I'm 14 and this is weally weally deep
@@itypethetruthnobshere8975what makes you weak is not facing your emotions and moving on.
But then Frankenstein and shit 🛶
I think I need a therapist-
Just amazing my dude! Loved it so much! Probably because it's so relatable ❤
You're right man, what Melvin had shared with his crab was special, and those memories will always be a treasure. Lost a pet I had as my bff for a decade recently and I know how our macabre friend feels.
This meant something to me. If you keep running away from all of your problems, and ignoring pain, you never grow, and you never overcome your fears. You become addicted to the nostalgia, and it negatively affects your mental health. And when a pet dies, it’s like your family member dying all over again. Except you blame yourself, and the pet that was a placeholder for your loved one is also gone, just like your loved one. Nice job Papa Meat.
it's like paranoia agent
Let’s say, a pet is part of family tbh, hands down I love my pet just as I love a member of family
@@cockeshi898no, animals are not humans. Loving your pets is fine, it’s wonderful. But Trying to equate them to human life is unhealthy, if for nothing else, because they have such a short lifespan and no capacity to reciprocate the same intellectual feelings.
This feels like something that South Park would make like seriously, this was South Park humor
Animals are better than humans while some humans are worse than rabid wild animals you have no idea what you are talking about, as we humans don't deserve them@@FIightmedic
How the hell did this go from bat shit crazy to a wholesome ending.. you are a literal genius.
Really hope you make more of these some day
Brilliant stuff man
This really hits home with me. Between drinking and collecting. I went through a shit ton of trauma after high-school and not knowing what to do. Let alone with having a dead father. Hunter seriously knows how to show people their demons in silly ways.
I’m still dealing with demons today. But thankfully I got through the collection phase. I’m trying to relieve stress and trauma with a pet turtle and aquatic animal care.
With the way the episode ended felt fulfilling.
Edit: thank you for the comments, I’m still facing demons. But just to be clear, I’m not alone, I do have support. And I my turtle is fine, she’s not suffering at the hands of my own selfishness. She’s living better than me, outside of not being free in a pond. But she’s invasive, so I’m doing good anyways.
I utilize art and aquatic care as my way to clear those negative thoughts.
Just find your thing. And video games isn’t one of them. Idk how many times MK1 had me cursing screaming and thinking I was as useless as my combo skills were.
Just thanks everyone.
Hang in there.
I feel you! Mom died and I mentally went to shit. Hang in there and know tomorrow we get to try again.
@@RonnieMcfloydUTTPAww, I'm happy this random man has so much impact on your life, where you now dedicate your time to making comments and videos. I hope one day I too can waste time in such a matter as yourself. 🤗
"Pet turtle and aquatic animal care."
Insane that this isn't even the second time I've heard stories like this. But it's nice. Good luck. I hope you and your turtle are okay.
As long as you find a way to deal that isn't drugs or booze. That shit may numb the pain a bit, but can cost you your life and/or whatever remains of your sanity. Collecting can be expensive, but at least it won't kill you.
