I think they're saying Sam & Max are married to each other?

After all they were named "Freelance Detectives" in the game.

Beyond that I got nothing. But they need to be careful or George Lucas is gonna sue somebody.

There was a gag in the show where they got married and people obsessively use it to justify their ships

There was a TV show? I just remember the game.

But you don't even need stuff like that for people to justify their shipping. Two male characters exist in the same franchise and have a good relationship? Suddenly all the fujioshis show up and claim they're totally yaoi for each other and start making art about the two of them.

Does Steve Purcell know about this?

Edit.

Apparently they were designed in collaboration with him.

I now need to check if he is senile or just no longer giving a fuck.

Pitch was, probably, Sam's plush toy in slippers with Max's head. Just using tumblrinas hashtags to advertise it. I hate rainbow mafia

I will admit, I miss the days of sharing Blobby memes and edits, as horrifically Islamic as some of them might have been. There’s also two that I sadly have not been able to find again. I will gladly share some other ones I’ve found though.

Spoiler: BLOBBEH

Let us continue, then

Just another attempt to gay-ify a property (Sam & Max game and cartoon). They're "Freelance Detectives" but some jackass is headcanoning the gay into it, thus "Freelance Husbands".

ohhhh that explains it. I missed that (didn't watch that much of it anyway).

There was a TV show? I just remember the game.

heh, I mostly remember the TV show over the game (although I barely remember the game existed). But yeah, this trend of Reading the Blue Curtains (a Moviebob specialty) to find things that aren't there especially amongst the lefty Tumblr/Bluesky crowd, is annoying. It's kind of understandable, as most English/Literature teachers teach all students how to Read The Blue Curtains. I know because I was taught to read the Blue Curtains, and I thought it was bullshit then, and it's definitely bullshit now.

Subtext is a thing. I don't think anybody is going to argue that point as there's some works that are nothing but subtext. I think Tennessee Williams built his entire career on subtext alone. But there's a difference in saying that the curtains are blue because they're blue and they're blue because they represent the... hold on lemme pull out my box of bullshit... "the necessary incompleteness of human awareness and the hiding of the main character's homosexuality behind a facade of heterosexuality as blue is typically a masculine color".

I mean you can make up shit about anything. Doesn't make it true.

yeah, there's a difference between subtext, and forcing subtext that isn't there. The TV Trope "Death of the Author" contains a component called "The Curtains Were Blue" where English/Lit majors will say bullshit like "The Curtains Were Blue Because The Author Was Sad" when the author indicated no such fucking thing and even denied it. I swear to cripes, the english lit teachers had us reading the blue curtains all the damn time. Teaching us to make up bullshit that wasn't there, so half the class couldn't tell the difference between legit subtext, and bullshit.

English majors are the worst when it comes to this because they read so much into what they're reading.

I'm reminded of a video essay once by some guy who went on about "Twin Peaks" and what David Lynch meant when he said this or that or what this scene meant. While his take was interesting he was wrong on a lot of things because he was looking for meaning when David Lynch famously just included things that he felt were interesting. They had no meaning, or originally had no meaning, and instead were just cool scenes.

Like he was going on about Killer Bob from the original series and what he represented and what he was all about and it was bullshit because Bob was never originally part of the show. He was never part of the plan. It was one of those things David came up with. The write-up on how the character was created is here: https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/ustv/a831806/twin-peaks-killer-bob-origin/

tl;dr: Unless you're the creator or you've spoken about it the best thing that anybody can do when interpreting your work is guess.

Well, it's officially dead. Last post on their Tumblr is this. In December

It's dead, Jim

It was a good run

I think this is the first cow I’ve seen that didn’t acknowledge the farms and had its run
