On Clark’s wall drawings/rambling, we see “tables don’t bleed”. This could be taken as nonsense derived from his steadily declining sanity by this point. But let’s be honest, it’s probably not there for no reason.

This could tell us that Clark could have broken a table at one point, and it did bleed. Since Still Life’s are misremembering of people that only copy the observable superficial layers of a human, their insides are not what a human should have, obviously.

Is it the same with the furniture and things, like if it’s all just copied at a superficial level, just the top layer, is it a stretch that tables do actually bleed (or atleast misremembered backrooms tables).
Idk, just a thought I had.

Also, what do you think is the drawing line between living organisms and furniture to the backrooms? Like at what point does something start living (Like Captain Clark or the Life Form), rather than essentially being a piece of furniture, because it certainly isn’t just somewhat living components of a table can bleed. A table isn’t alive. Or could it be?

Sorry, this isn’t really like aimed in a certain direction, but I just wanted to know what you guys thought?

Closeted boy kisser over here! Does anyone know of a way to thin out leg hair, and make it less noticeable, but still there, almost as if it’s just thinner naturally.

Trying to achieve some body euphoria without getting absolutely clocked ; - ;

What is the video effect used at the start of the edit? In the part where it just shows the satire text messages.

Right, in the new film, we obviously see Clark enter the complex through a relatively stable null space in the basement of his furniture store. No news there.

However, there were a couple of things that struck me odd about this;

For one, this null space is so stable compared to others we have seen. You can get in and out of it easily, and it doesn't move/dissapear. Also Clark doesn't just no-clip like other prisoners of the backrooms. He is free to go and leave as he pleases.

Two, you can see slither off it at the right angle. Not enough to fully view into the backrooms, but enough to notice a stream of light occasionally, unlike other null spaces which people have no clipped through.

Three, it somewhat activates via a switch. A controlled surge of electricity, which also messes with the power of the whole building frequently. An oddly placed switch sure. But still a functional one. I frankly don't think the backrooms has the capacity to generate a functional switch. The only things we see that the backrooms has created are off. Note the Still Lifes don't bleed (aside from Pirate Clark, but I'll get onto that in a minute) and they don't have any functional organs, Just, white foam.

All of these features differ heavily from what we see throughout the web series in other videos. Aside from one... First Contact.

In First contact, we see the first canon null space created on purpose, and by A-Sync themselves. This Null space is also different to all other null spaces, that backrooms victims accidentally no-clip through. So, how is it different?

It is Stable. It does not move or dissapear. Also, A-sync employees to do not just no-clip like victims of the backrooms. They are Free to come and go as they please

You can see it fully. You can see a good view into the complex from reality. You can see that uneasy yellow glow produced by the complex.

This is the most important one, it is activated by a switch. We don't see this switch specifically, but we see this machine's power sources and we can assume that A-sync opened this on purpose with some sort of controlled surge of electricity. This also messes with the power with the rest of the building.

This all lines up, with a couple of slight differences, but I think I have an explanation for the slight differences.

One difference between the two is on Clark's one, it does not need a whole facility with whirring machines and safety precautions, it is set up in his basement. Another difference is that Clarks null space is not as visible as the A-sync one. You can only see a slither of it at certain angles, whereas you can fully see, the complex through the A-sync one.

At first, these differences may make these two null spaces seem unconnected, but I thought about it and it makes sense. A-sync started trying to create a null space to the backrooms in April 1988, successfully opening one in October 17, 1989. The backrooms movie is set in June-July of 1990. If, A-sync can successfully create travel through space and time into some sort of unknown pocket dimension, in just a year and with just six tests, then surely with almost another year they can refine it, allowing them to scale it down, and attempt to make it less visible. It seems alot easier to scale it down than creating it in the first place.

Also, you may recall that A-sync opening the null space canonically caused the 1989 Loma Prieta 6.9 magnitude earthquake, they happened on the same day ( October 17, 1989), and at a very similar time. They also happened relatively close in location only being roughly 15 to 20 miles (24 to 32 km) away from the actual epicenter of the earthquake. We know this because of Faultline.mov.

We know that Clark first entered his null space on the 30th June 1990, and we know his shop (Cap’n Clark’s Ottoman Empire) is set in East San José, California, at the intersection of Capitol Avenue and McKee Road in the Santa Clara Valley.

In real life, a magnitude 4.0 earthquake struck San Jose, California. It occurred on June 30, 1990, at 5:36 p.m. local time and was centered about 8 miles northeast of downtown in the Alum Rock area along the Calaveras Fault. This is only about 1.5 to 2 miles (less than 3 kilometers) from that specific intersection. Kane does not usually give us exact locations and dates unless they are important. It is not a coincidence that an earthquake happened at a similar location, and the same date that Clark entered the backrooms for the first time.

If the machine was scaled down to use here, this makes sense why the seismic activity is smaller, and why it is closer to the epicenter of the earthquake.

Now, after all of this, you may be asking, "why tf would A-sync want to put a null space inside of a random guy's store basement?". Answer: It was not random...

At the start of the movie we see a found footage style clip of a lost A-sync worker being hunted and eventually killed by Pirate Clark. We can assume it is A-sync officials watching this, likely including Philip R. Heymann.

We also at some point see Philip R. Heymann. seeing Clark's pirate themed commerical and looking rather shocked. By this point he has already seen Pirate Clark and immediately recognises the simialrities between the two, causing his shock.

As I mentioned earlier, Pirate Clark is not like the other Still Lifes. He bleeds, he is hostile, and he is arguably somewhat sentient. Point being, he is different to the others.

This should be investigated. Best way to investigate him? Send the person who he is based off of towards him to monitor how they interact.

Remind me again, how do A-sync monitor the entities in the backrooms later revealed in the movie. They use that repeated cardboard cutout of a caveman with a speaker playing messages in all different languages.

And remind me again, what is one of the first things Clark sees exploring the hallways of the backrooms... One of these cutouts. It was placed specifically there to monitor him. A-sync knew where he would be because they made the null zone.

And you know what? This test went flawlessly, Pirate Clark and Clark get along well, for weeks until he turns on him. Pirate Clark was completely unhostile towards Clark (for the most part), and they learn a little more about rare hostile Still Lifes. Sure, they risk sacrificing a human life for it, but it's not something they haven't done in the past. And Clark is the perfect candidate. He is alone, no one really notices he is missing, aside from Mary who they eventually capture and keep in A-sync headquarters presumeably...

Far fetched?
