The Eagle says, “You did such a good job on that scene. I was, like, completely locked-in… you were so focused, and so vulnerable… you have got a promising future ahead of you.” - @1:12
ANALYSIS⌗
Praising the viewer about their performance continues throughout the video. I won’t detail every instance. I’ll merely speculate that, perhaps, this relates to my recent performance on livestream. I think I did quite well.

The Eagle says, “You’re a complete natural… the knives, and the drill stuff…” - @4:48
ANALYSIS⌗
There’s subtle nose scratch there.
The knife may refer to a recent video I produced, which would later be used to perform an act on behalf of William

The Eagle says, “There’s something interesting about exploring our darker natures… I have an inherent mistrust of people who portray themselves, on the outside, as being too good… I think it’s important to explore our darker selves, you know, and to not give into them, but acknowledge that we’re all capable of really monstrous things.” - @5:33
ANALYSIS⌗
“Natures” may be a subtle reference to the recent confession I gave to The Eagle.
I’ve done a good job of not trying to portray myself as anything more or less than I am right now. Good, bad, and ugly.
And I agree; it’s important to own who we are. It’s the only way to grow as a Human being.

The Eagle says, “One of my big triggers is people who whine, or complain, or act like victims… I’m a younger brother… when I see someone acting weak… stop it…” - @[8:07] (https://youtu.be/603D_-uMye0?t=487)
ANALYSIS⌗
There’s a subtle nose flick in there.
I find whining triggering, too. There are millions of victims in this world, but it serves no meaningful purpose to complain about being one all the time. Work towards a better end, or shut up, in my opinion. This may seem heartless, but when you’ve seen someone like The Queen (all versions of her) complaining about the same thing over, and over again for years, it gets tiring. I can’t help you, and you’re depressing me.
The younger brother thing may be a hint that my younger brother is involved in this, somehow. I doubt it though.
SIGNAL⌗
The Eagle pulls out a can of sparkling water. - @9:42
ANALYSIS⌗
After two years sober, I was already thinking about drinking again this evening. When I saw this can, it solidified that urge.
I’m 1.5 beers in at this point. I’m starting to feel better than I’ve felt in a long time.
I wish it was weed. I’m considering Delta-8, but I’m worried about the fact that it’s not a regulated market.

The Eagle says, “I don’t know if you’ve ever saw Brokeback Mountain?” - @11:57
ANALYSIS⌗
I’ve never seen the movie, but I do have a story related to it.
At a Christmas party at Wright Business Technologies, many years ago, the entire team was sitting in a circle, having a white elephant gift exchange. If I recall correctly, my boss asked the group, “What is the worst gift you’ve ever seen someone receive?” Then, she went around the room, forcing everyone to answer.
I was an extremely awkward and shy person at this point in my life. As my turn drew near, I really didn’t know what to say, and I was panicking. When my turn came, I ended up telling this story:
At a white elephant with my mom’s side of the family, when I was just a kid, somebody gifted a DVD of Brokeback Mountain. When my uncle received it, he threw it to the floor in shock. As I recounted this story, the room laughed. Most people found it funny.
However, there was woman named Isabelle in the room, who was gay. It hurt her feelings, and she reported that to my boss the following week. There was an awkward email about it, from my boss, which followed.
I’ve argued that The Inventor’s name is Isabelle, and she is gay as well.
Looking back, I was ignorant and had a very different mind than I do now. Rather than considering that SOMEONE in the room might be gay, and that I might be hurting their feelings, I was panicking, searching for something to say. I wasn’t thinking about Isabelle at all; truth is, I didn’t even know she was gay. Somehow, it’s like I simply assumed that everyone there was straight, and everyone would find my story funny.
What’s gross is the fact that they did.
I feel really bad about that. I can’t imagine what it’s like to live in a world where that kind of thing happens.

The Eagle says, “One of the things I just love about acting is the full acceptance of everything that is being the Human. A lot of us like to think we’d never be the Nazi guard… we’re all capable of that kind of behavior. The important thing is that we don’t act on it… it’s important that we accept ourselves for everything we are, and everything we’re not.” - @13:35
ANALYSIS⌗
And yet, here you are, being the Nazi guard. Every single ASMR artist ignoring me, bound to some contract, is being the Nazi guard. You’re being used to torment me.
When he says “act on it”, the eyes tell a lot. It’s almost as if he’s alluding to my earlier confession, and acknowledging that I am no longer acting upon it.
SIGNAL⌗
The Eagle says, “The world is rarely black and white. It’s almost all a wash of grey…” - @16:52
ANALYSIS⌗
A major theme at ink.university is that the world is comprised mostly of people who think in black and white - yet grey is the color to strive for. So few things are written in-stone.
SIGNAL⌗
The Eagle says, “What do you think? Do you think you’re capable of some really messed-up stuff?” - @17:26
ANALYSIS⌗
To an extent. I think there’s definitely an upper-limit. I think we’re all capable of horrible things… but I just don’t see any version of reality where I would become a murderer, or a rapist.
SIGNAL⌗
The Eagle describes his first role, in a film called “Dusty’s August.” He was Dusty. He goes on to detail how, after a full process of production, he’s never seen a single scene from the movie. No movie was ever produced. - @18:34
ANALYSIS⌗
Could this be a subtle hint to my former boss (The Asshat), at Aventiv Technologies? Maybe some kind of indicator that something will happen in August?
Could it also relate to the notion that there are all these ASMR artists producing content, connected to me, as part of some kind of “movie” - yet it’s been years, and they’ve still seen no movie emerge?
And will The Eagle be playing The Asshat?

The Eagle says, “I’m really grateful that they cast you. You have a serious future ahead of you. You’re just natural, you know. You have an ease on camera… you’re not trying to show off… I had an acting coach… I thought I was pretty hot stuff… maybe that was not as good a scene as I thought it was… his name was Tom Todoroff.” - @23:38
ANALYSIS⌗
I do feel like I was cast in this role. I was chosen, specifically.
And I would be a great actor. As evidenced by my livestream, I’m very comfortable in front of a camera, and in front of other people, just being myself. My ability to act comes naturally (in part or in whole, probably, because of Narcissistic Personality Disorder.)
When he says, “maybe that was not as good a scene as I thought it was,” there is a very conspicuous eye wink. I don’t understand what he’s trying to communicate, here. Perhaps it was a different kind of a scene? Like a porno?
This is likely to be coincidence, but the name Tom returns again.
