yeah, this is coolaide man apologist propaganda. weak as shit propaganda too. it's his brother that has the addiction and runs around busting down walls for it. mr hotharm here is just trying to clean up after his sloppy ass sibling.
like, i get it. we all want to believe in nomative determinism, but addiction can effect anyone. don't let big sugar water normalize busting down walls and assaulting children's parties for a hit.
Are we sure kool-aid isn't the evil one? I'm sure he's killed or gravely injured a few children busting through those walls. Think he's footing repair bills for that damage? I'm guessing not.
I think he should be saying "Hmm, no...?" Because "oh" is an interjection of surprise but "Hmm" is a murmur of premeditation. Also, the vibe of a hesitant question contrasts the excitement and assertive certainly of an exclamation point.
They called themselves the Kool Kids but we knew them as the Terror
Twins, the Masonic Menace. They'd force their way into any bit of joy
or loss, a trail of rubble and scars bolstering their smothering
presence, the moon's the only force strong enough to pull them away.
At least that's what some say happened the night Kool-Aid Man landed
on the rocks. Everybody has their say on how he got there, but the
facts of the matter are he did get there, the tides were shifting when
he did, the moon was full and the sky was clear, and a group of yutes
had just started a fire for a clam bake near where shards of glass
were later found. All the king's horses and men gathered to put him
together again, but with one piece lost in the sand he bled out
entirely.
The coroner informed Warm-Hinder, who froze in place. A sudden strong
gust cracked his icy joints in half, sending his upper parts rolling
down 95. When he finally thawed out somewhere near Maryland he dragged
himself to the woods, to the remotest cabin of the least connected
mountain in all of Appalachia.
Out front sat Marge and Paddy, who offered a refill to the dehydrated
tumbler and pointed to the trail of sweet tears leading to the
stranger on their porch. He drank deep then reached for a horseshoe on
the ground near his foot, hurling it at the hosts' hearts. A cloud
shifted as he did, and a ray of light caught the glass in the old
couple's hands. A rainbow fired from between them blinding the guest,
who fell to the floor grasping at his eyes.
"I can't see, I can't see!" he cried scrambling on all fours, kicking
up dust and throwing what rocks his fingers could find.
"What is it you can't face?" asked Marge.
"I thought if I tried hard enough," he trailed.
Paddy chuckled through the break in the noise and shared a slice of
moldy bread.
The two sat sipping in silence where they had been and where they'll
stay rocking. The one watched as the rain fell and the sea filled with
boiling fire, and the earth pulled in closer still. He heard rhythm in
his frantic breathing and saw seedlings sprouting out of softened
soil. The beating of his heart filled his feet and he began to
dance.
Night had fallen by then but the forest was bright and the path was
clear. So he danced with the gravity pulling him through forest and
flood and ocean until daybreak. And when he arrived home he saw the
gates and gears of the city lifting and turning, and a river of Red 40
flowing through.
