the way wirt’s voice goes slightly quieter at 7:57 when he says “my father’s nostalgic voice” leads me to believe his dad is dead. i know in the show they mention that wirt’s mom got remarried to greg’s dad, but we don’t actually know what happened to wirt’s. he sounds slightly nervous throughout this whole thing, but the way he delivers just that one line actually sounds like he’s sad. and the addition of the old recording at 10:58 (some memory that wirt probably recorded over to make this, and also adds to the “nostalgic voice” bit, considering he’d be able to listen to it on these recordings) just makes it even more crazy to think about and even more likely. this show is incredible.

[@bluejay5405]

Ok, so this might be an unpopular opinion, but I really like Wirt's poetry. I know that it's probably meant to come off as kind of cringy, but that's mainly due to the fact that it's read in such an awkward way and context, but when you write the words down on paper, you can tell they're very heartfelt. (Personally, I like writing poetry, and I'm very insecure about what I write, so maybe I'm just projecting some of that onto Wirt, but here's my two cents anyways).

I can really see a younger high schooler making this and being proud that he put his heart and soul into it but then getting embarrassed to share it cause he knows it's not for everyone. The imperfections, the pretentious improv poetry, the little baby talk at the end of side A, the out of tune playing that slowly gets better the longer the tape goes on, and Greg's hilarious interruptions just make it feel more real.

[@blu3_sue]

I adore this tape because it makes the characters in this show feel like real people. it's almost as if the show was just a reimagining of a real story

[@madz7346]

The poetry that Greg read was supposedly poetry that Wirt wrote when he was little and that Greg somehow got ahold of. That's what the creators said anyway

[@victorioadvincula478]

It might be or it is embarrassing but we should still think about the hardships and workings of all the people who hepled to make this. I like it.

[@crystalcheng7259]

this is literally so poetic in everyway possible. What I mean is that the song he plays on the clarinet at the beginning of this tape is the exact same music we hear as we begin each episode. This means that this song is diegetic (the song exists in the character's world as well as the audiences' world). Same with the outro. I love this so much. The details are just so beautiful. I cant wait to see what Patrick McHale will do next for his upcoming series. I hope he works with the Blasting Company again

[@jameson8943]

He's making a new series? that's cool!

If I'm being honest I used to treat my little brother quite poorly, seeing how Writ changed to take care of Greg over the series really helped me learn to treat him better

17:04 that’s not creepy at all... “*THAT TAPE HAS CLARINET AND POETRY*”

[@Ofinkandattics]

What did he whisper???

[@torificus7155]

I hear your voice my dear he says

[@amandapike2477]

That's supposed to be sweet. I swear people don't understand the idea of romantic anymore because we define anything even remotely haunting as "Creepy."

Remember, the only difference between a romantic and a creep is if you like it.

[@makaelalemaistre8754]

It was super cute to hear toddler Wirt with his dad at the end of Side A but it also made me incredibly sad to think that Wirt probably recorded over other stuff that his dad had on that tape

[@Pulvrk1n-ti5hp]

and it's even sadder to think that there is a possibility he didn't even realize that he really did that

[@thaohuongnguyen4476]

@@Pulvrk1n-ti5hp let's just think that Wirt already has another tape that recorded all of his dad's, before recording over it 🥲🥲

My boy! My precious little poetic BOY! (ಥ﹏ಥ)

[@_Emma_Does_Stuff077]

Honestly I come listen to this tape whenever I feel anxious or worried because it comforts me, makes me feel warm and makes me feel safe. Wirt as a character is very relatable to me as I am the girl who likes to philosophize about the world and observe every small detail that many don’t appreciate. This poetry speaks to me and the music and authenticity of Wirt’s nervous reading of his poetry is just very comforting. Being around Wirt’s age also makes this tape more significant to me as it makes me feel loved as I sometimes imagine if I were to receive this tape from a guy like him. The show as a whole is very comforting and enjoyable so this tape is simply an extension of the amazing world of Over the Garden Wall ✨🐸

[@kennedy473]

I think this shows that i shouldnt be afraid of showing what I know and what I do. Even tho I think its very persornal. Since last year, i have be trying to not be so shy, bc, maybe someone will like it, who knows

It happens. I'm writing a whole book for the person that I fell in love with. It's impossible not to; there's too much inside me. I wish that people would be more honest, though. That's how stuff like this happens.

I would do this for my crush but I can’t write poetry

[@lennyrose5852]

Some guys do but just end up getting laughed at and humiliated

[@Luckyrabbit1927]

Greg's poetry may be adorably silly, but given that he wrote and came up with all of that when he was only 6, I think it's really impressive! It sounds to me like he picked up quite a bit of his wordplay and descriptive abilities from Wirt, and it makes me hope that he developed a similar passion for poetry and writing as the boys continued to grow up.

[@tahutoa]

I love how the poetry's quality bounces from iffy to fabulous and back.

[@Subwayboss]

This is adorable. what a love struck little nerd.

[@ScififanP]

Honestly, I'm touched by this. It was just so beautiful and emotional! I actually cried a little bit, and I don't often. I used to write a lot of poetry myself when I was a teenager. This makes me want to write again! I have a novel half finished, but poetry is different, you know? Anyway, I rambled on. 😂
