@FlunderingChipper's video on NITW: Monsterous Existence (directly quoted at 1:34:54. I included an in-video announcement of this twice leading to both being deleted at the same time 🙃 this video is set to be reuploaded anyway with this announcement included as It was meant to be but please be aware of this for the time being)

(Added on Dec 7th, 2023) PLEASE NOTE: many lines of dialogue in this video are very closely phrased to quotes from the above sources or are in fact direct quotes from these sources but uncredited. Zizek basically wrote this video lol. I tried to make that clear but that isn’t enough. So you can view the script here to see everything properly cited, which is a less than respectable solution but the only one I have for you now: [to be added ASAP]
MUSIC IN THE VIDEO CAN BE FOUND AS A REPLY TO THE PINNED COMMENT
certain songs used from @HOHENHEIMSTUDIOS, @ScrapTakes, and @themrzakid
