#dhmis food gang

[ultimateloserboy]

I’ve been holding back this ramble forever but the food episode makes me tear up and i NEED to talk about it.

The food episode was the only episode I really couldn’t watch as a kid. I remember being horrified by it. to this day i still feel uneasy thinking about it, even though it doesn’t scare me in the slightest anymore. the reason i feel uneasy now isnt because im scared, its because to me its the saddest episode of the whole series and makes me want to punch walls. when i was younger i didnt notice a lot of the things ive noticed now, and every time i watch the episode i notice even more.

a lot of people talk about this episode as if red guy ran away and wants nothing to do with the house, that he’s trying to save the other two by bringing them to his world. while i dont think this is a wrong or bad interpretation, considering it’s understandable, id like to talk about my own interpretation. i dont think red guy even knew how he left. keep in mind he just exploded and then woke up in an office. there’s absolutely nothing suggesting he ran away on purpose. all he wanted was for colin to shut up, he wasnt intending to find the room he found. this itself isnt an interpretation, its a fact, BUT how he feels about it and what he does in the red guy world is completely up to interpretation! mine is that he wants to go home instead of trying to get the other two out of it. lemme explain ok hear me out:

throughout the entire food episode red guy is constantly popping up in the background somewhere. hes drawn behind windows and his head is in the microwave in one shot. when duck knocks the camera over for a split second you can even see his legs as it falls. the leg thing is what really got me, because most other times he was simply drawn. but those were his actual legs standing in the kitchen. to me it represents the fact that he isnt actually there but is “haunting” the other two. they dont really remember him but they can see him out of the corners of their eyes. hes blurry and far away but they KNOW someone is there (or WAS there, i should say). but on his end i think it could represent how hes still there in his head, how hes still singing songs and shit like that despite being out of that world. he says he hated that world, that hes allergic to music, but now that hes gone from it its stuck in his head. he misses the music. he misses his friends. hes still there in spirit.

before i continue id just like to say that, no, the main three INCLUDING RED GUY dont always want to leave the house. especially when they have to leave the others behind. whenever theyre off somewhere they usually want to go back home, yellow guy even said “i want to go home” word for word once. but he also said “no more songs” these things can exist at the same time guys. they can not want to drown in oil but still want to live in their house, yall realize that right? thats a huge theme in the show, that the house and the main three have a very complicated relationship. they dont want to leave their home they just want it to, yaknow, NOT EAT THEM. so i think red guy wanting to come home isnt at all out of character. and he doesnt like the red guy world anyway, why would he take his friends there when theyre wacky as shit and wouldnt fit in there or enjoy it at all? also id like to make the point that he doesnt know what’s happening in the house (at least not the seriousness of it) until he sees the machine. so him trying to save the other two from getting munched makes no sense to me personally. AGAIN THO THIS IS JUST MY INTERPRETATION!! YOURS IS VALID TOO AND I LOVE YOU!!!

But anyway continuing on, ducks reaction especially makes me insane. whenever i see how duck acts in episodes like “jobs” when he starts freaking out and trying to get the first aid kit for yellow guy im reminded of this episode. duck really does love his friends at heart. he doesnt want to leave the house, he sees no point, but to me the reason he doesnt want to leave is BECAUSE of his friends (or at least one of the reasons). in the tv series duck has a whole argument with red guy about leaving, and while some people say this duck is different than webseries duck i have to disagree. i think duck wouldve always argued about staying, but i also think hed always want to leave if red guy did. duck always switches up as soon as something is “wrong”. he always wants to stay until one of his friends is acting weird/hurt/missing and then suddenly the world isnt right and he doesnt want to be there. not only that but he will do everything in his power to fight against the things keeping him from his friends or hurting them, even if it means risking his own life. he knew some weird shit was going on every time he answered the phone, but despite that he continued answering anyway. he interrupted the songs and pushed things away and kept running to the phone, being disobedient and not giving a damn. this isnt unusual for duck, but it makes me especially ill, because he acts very confused as well. hes very upset, not mad like he usually is but genuinely upset and worried. most likely because of how hazy his memory is. my favorite scene of the series is when he pushes over the camera and says “i dont want to do this anymore” it rips my heart apart hes just like me fr. it also comes back to the transport episode, where hes like “well the song wasnt that great but at least it was funny. nobody gets TOO hurt by these songs and stuff so who cares? why leave?” i think hes always thought this way, the reason he says “i dont want to do this ANYMORE” is because suddenly the world has shifted. suddenly things are much more sinister and make even less sense. suddenly he is in genuine danger, and he isnt coming back this time. things have gone too far now, and he tries tearing down reality itself to get out, but unfortunately hes just not strong enough.

i also like to think that the food is singing about red guy the whole time, not actually food, and how he deserves punishment, and if you end up like him youll be punished too (which is exactly what happens to duck for answering the phone) “the bad, not-healthy foods are very rude! and must leave through the catflap!” isnt that what red guy did? he wandered too far and saw what he shouldnt have so he was sent away. also the steak says “you need to know whats right from wrong” which doesnt go with the rest of the song at all and seems to be directed at duck specifically. it seems more like theyre trying to keep duck and yellow guy in line rather than teach them about food. when they say “you shouldnt eat food from a strangers plate” considering the previous lyrics and the context before the chanting i think theyre talking about not believing what youre told by “strangers” (aka the non-teacher characters) theyre saying not to listen to whatever red guy is trying to say, to not answer the phone, to not end up like him. or at least thats what i think anyway.

lastly, the ending. yellow guy sitting in the kitchen alone, in the dark, covered in blood while the phone loudly rings is probably the most haunting part of the series to me. remember what i said about not being scared? well i LIED. this scene specifically still scares the fuck out of me. it fills me with genuinely painful dread. the scene where he looks over at the phone, hearing it but not getting up to answer it and letting it ring until red guy gives up is heartbreaking. im not sure if yellow guy even knows what’s happening in this scene, but hes been taught by now to NOT ANSWER THE PHONE. so he doesnt. and the teachers leave him alone with the phone because theyre confident he wont answer it. and theyre right. it breaks my heart just looking at it. in the next episode he ends up fighting back just like duck did, but just like duck, he cant truly do anything. it really puts into perspective how powerless all three of them are. god it ruins me. all they wanted was to know what the biggest thing in the world was, and now theyve been torn apart for wandering too far. cries and sobs

Susanne 🥗💚 and Breanna Foodly! 🍞🍴

Susanne and Breanna are both food based mutants, and even if they aren't technically related, they're pretty much sisters for unlife! They attend Monster High and both are known for making the most frightfully amazing dishes at the school! Susanne's vegetable and fruit based meals, of course are a favorite of vampire vegan Draculaura's! Breanna also makes the tastiest sandwiches of all kinds! She loves helping with the school's food drives and other events with them!

Susanne's fashion combines a few punk trends with a cozy touch! Greens and blues are her go to colors for clothing choices.

For Breanna, she enjoys dressing in nice pastels with a pretty light brown as her base clothing color. She sometimes uses certain sandwiches for outfit inspiration, like for example her basic look is inspired by a PBJ sandwich!

Sketchbook - Spiral Tony - End Shrignold - Corruption Colin - Eye Food Gang - Flesh Lamp - Desolation? Briefcase - Spiral and Buried, in metaphorical sense Coffin - End and Buried, in literal sense Twins - Corruption and Stranger Warren - Corruption Train - Vast? Electracey - Extinction

I agree with most of these! As seen in my post lol. But I realized looking back that I forgot the Slaughter which fits the Food Gang better (especially with what they do to Duck, lol)

Honestly I think Train and Electracey can be switched purely based off the episodes themselves. Also lightning Vast go brr.

The Lamp made me think of the Dark specifically because of dreaming and symbolism. The Lamp is supposed to protect from the all consuming dark and nothingness. But instead it drags Yellow into that. It's light is a lie.

I particularly love the idea of the Briefcase being part of the Buried. We never really get to see builders work within TMA that I can remember but there are so many aspects of it that can be applied to fears.

They are all trapped within this space. They cannot escape. It could also be argued that the roles are of the Web because the fears overlap so much.

Warren also definitely feels Stranger or Spiral to me. Despite his insect and infection motif. He keeps insisting he's your friend- that he knows you. But he also speaks in contradictions and torments.

And my final comment on Colin/ Computer. While I agree that the Eye is of knowledge and being observed and categorized.

Obviously you love Paige/Sketchbook and Tony, but what do you think of the other Teachers from the shorts, like Colin and Shrignold?

I gotta say, I didn't like Colin a whole lot until Computer Day. That made me understand the Colin lovers. Not a blorbo, but close enough.

Shrignold is gay and homophobic. Also a devout Malcomist, which is like, puppet Catholicism I think. Peak character writing. Love making fun of him.

The food gang is... There, I guess. I think their episode was meant to show how the world was crumbling apart, and that's why they seem so awkward and disorganized compared to the previous teachers, but it didn't really work for me. I don't hate them, but I don't care about them either.

Lamp... I guess he's charming, in a weird way. He seems chill, definitely smokes weed and is pretty cool with anyone. Glad he got treatment for his alcoholism in the TV series, that's growth, you guys.
