    There’s a little tiny nugget of an interesting horror idea here, maybe reflecting the artificiality of suburban American dream nuclear family life, maybe that it’s all a lie and the people you love and count on could abandon you any second, but it was done in the most awkward way - and tying kink is just weird lol. I don’t think anyone could do a 24/7 dynamic and then just… walk away lol

      This is the real horror. Making it about kink aside, this gave me flashbacks of being unable to explain ideas as a child.

        Yeah this screams teenager with decent imagination and a critical eye towards social constructs, but hasn’t developed the skills to express those in a smooth, articulate manner.

      And it’s been done better years ago in a song as well. The lines “And you may say to yourself this is not my beautiful house! This is not my beautiful wife!” From Once In A Lifetime is basically that, but good.
