Saw this yesterday with some friends, my current theory is that the backrooms are like a madoka magica labyrinth created by Mary and her trauma. dont ask me to elaborate pls

Edit: ok actually I will elaborate. I think I was wrong about it being a madoka magica labyrinth for Mary specifically, but rather the world as a whole. and I think it might have latched onto Mary & clark & the boys through her whole self help tape things, along with Clark's ads he does. Like the backrooms is a network of misremembered places and things, more people have seen those ads which probably makes them more likely to spawn backrooms. I think. idk.

I also love how the internet is treating clark too, ngl. Like twitter is woobifying him. I saw someone make a little plushie of him. Another person is making pirate clark keychains that are genuinely so cute. like this guy (spoilers) eats people. like thats something he does in the movie and now hes also just a little guy. its really great I think.
