Title: Salad Fingers: Memories
Premise: Salad Fingers. A drabble about the life of the strange man known as Salad Fingers.
Personal Comments: This drabble expresses my thoughts and my theories about how the world of Salad Fingers came to be where it is, and how SF's life was before that. I haven't read any theories or discussed this with anyone. Just my own thoughts. I'm sure a lot of people have already been able to figure some of this stuff out, but I decided to do this anyway, then check out other sources and see how accurate I am. The points I make here are kinda generic too, nothing really specific, though I can make some assumptions about some specific details I've seen in the shorts. I've only read one oneshot this one fellow came up with about a theory that's totally out of this world. It's "Radioactive" by Elena Hurley.
Everything here is my own guesses and opinions, except for Marjory being his wife. That I got from the story above.
As I said, this is mostly general stuff, but I do have a few ideas about more specific stuff.
For one thing, in episode 7, maybe there was an accident on stage where he got into an argument with his pianist or something.
In episode 4, maybe his sister fell ill, or even worse, perhaps SF himself killed her, accidental or on purpose I don't know.
I'm guessing that he tried to join in the army, but perhaps he was rejected. Maybe due to mental issues, physical health issues, or maybe he didn't pass through boot camp.
Can't think of an explanation for his fixation with feeling rough surfaces or stabbing himself. I'm guessing it's just the radioactivity messing with his head.
I really like the Salad Fingers shorts. I love how creepy and disturbing the characters and environment is, how its kind of like a psychological thriller, in seeing how delusional Salad Fingers is. I love piecing together SF's life though clues and events, as I've done here.
I would love to see a few crossovers for this show on here. Some shows that I think would be perfect to cross with this one are Courage the Cowardly Dog, Regular Show, and My Little Pony. Also, possibly Wall-E and 9.
Once, he had everthing.
He once lived a wonderful, healty life in the flourishing state of England. He had a beautiful wife, Marjory, and a healthy baby girl, Yvonne. They lived happily in a wonderful neighborhood. He pursued his dream job as a well-celebrated musician. He would spend time with his friends, Hubert and Jeremy, even if the latter was a little... eccentric. And he was so friendly with so many more of the townsfolk. They would be off for picnics, horse races, and such. The eldest of two other siblings, Bodois and Kenneth.
And then all of that changed when the war came. China had attacked England, and England would not take that sitting down.
He had wanted to fight and protect his country and family. He tried to join the army, but they turned him down. The drill sergeants deemed him incapable during the boot camp sessions.
But not Kenneth. They took Kenneth. Kenneth was sent off to fight, leaving his older brother behind to keep up his performances.
And then one day, the planes came.
He managed to escape. He got to the bomb shelter before the fires spread. He could have sworn they were right behind him.
But they were not. They both fell behind. He wanted to go back for them, but it was too late by then.
The next day, he left his house, and evertyhing was gone. The state, and everyone he knew.
He searched and searched for days, trying to find anyone, any remaining, shattered fragment of his past life, but he was only greeted with despair, destruction and death.
As he continued to search, the radiation started to affect him. His skin was soon mutated into something unnatural. In addition, his mind was affected by both the radiation and the incredible grief he was going through.
Now, he has nothing.
Nothing but the memories.
Memories that are slowly fading away, along with his sanity. He relieves those shattered memories as he clings to what is left of his humanity and the wonderful life he once lived.
