Breaking down Buddy’s motivations in LISA the Joyful through the song Loudmouth (SPOILERS!)

This is a post that bunnyhops from a similar essay(?) I did about Rando. I recommend you read that first, here.

I converted THIS rant from a Twitter thread (and has WAY LESS spelling errors this time).

I consider Loudmouth by AJJ to be a great song through which to examine Buddy’s perspective in LISA the Joyful. I also think it works as a direct sister song to Be Nice to Me. Where Be Nice To Me asks ‘Why are you like this?’ Loudmouth responds ‘THIS is why.’

Re-contextualising these lyrics as a vehicle to break down Buddy’s motivations allowed me get to the root to why her frustrations led her to her bloody rampage in Joyful, and what (to me at least) belies Buddy’s deeply tragic and sympathetic motivation through which she rationalises as the only way she can save herself from harm. Also I this song is a banger, so, enjoy that.

Analysis under the cut!

REBLOG IF YOU SUPPORT TRANS WITCHES.

I saw some posts and accounts that really bummed me out tonight. Some people are so proud to be transphobic and it’s disgusting. I’m terrified that I accidentally follow some TERFS without realizing it.

Show trans people some love in the midst of all of this hate that is still going around.

(Anonymously) tell me what character I have the same energy as

About a week ago I posted this.

I’ve been getting horrible messages like this in my ask for months, including:

and my personal favorite

After getting the message saying “Just go kill yourself” I was completely done dealing with this person’s horrible messages and replied with just an “Okay.” and logged off tumblr.

About a week later I logged back on with 17 messages in my ask, most of them from the anon. I scrolled down and at first when I logged off, the anon messaged me things like

I scrolled up more and all of a sudden they started sending me more and more messages like

This was extremely surprising to me. I thought “After all those horrible messages you sent to me for MONTHS about hating me and wanting me dead, you say ‘sorry’ and that you ‘cant be responsible for someone’s suicide’?”

But I guess the lesson goes like this:

DONT TELL ANYONE TO KILL THEMSELVES UNLESS YOU ARE PREPARED FOR WHAT MIGHT ACTUALLY HAPPEN
