they put my dog in temporal detention for existing
i need someone to explain this because i'm actually scared
this is from a tape labeled "BUSTER - DO NOT PLAY" that i found with my old Cornwall stuff. it's called "Temporal Detention" and it's a full 25 second panic attack
0:00 — Buster's just sitting there and the neon sign behind him literally catches fire. it says "TEMPORAL DETENTION"
0:04 — a blue beam hits him straight from the sky and all the mailboxes start floating. that's when you hear the 19.8 kHz whine
0:06 — they trap him in an electric cage. his face??? pure terror
0:09 — he escapes with some guy in a lab coat and they run through what looks like the inside of a computer
0:12 — the sky breaks. like actually cracks open into code
0:15 — then the Time Police show up. their heads are literally clocks stuck at 9:55. they have Buster clones running with them??
0:20 — the big one appears. Clock head, 9:55, standing on a digital grid. this is the warden
0:24 — cuts to white void, clock says 12:01, portal opens
12:01 is in EVERY video. it's the same time from the dark side video and the space madness one.
i put the full storyboard on my blog because Lemon8 murdered the quality (link in bio — it's buster90snostalgia.blogspot). you can actually read "TEMPORAL ENFORCEMENT UNIT" on their armor in the HD scans and see the second Buster clone clearly.
is this an actual lost 90s pilot or the most detailed ARG i've ever seen?? the animation is too good to be fake but too weird to be real

I've come across various obscure and mysterious media relics before, but the tape dubbed "Temporal Detention" is something else entirely. When I first watched it, the vivid imagery—the neon sign catching fire, the sky cracking open like digital code, and those eerie clock-headed Time Police stuck at 9:55—gave me chills. It’s like a mix of nostalgia for 90s animation and the uncanny world of analog horror. What really draws me in is the way the sequence feels both retro and futuristic simultaneously. The use of time-related symbolism, especially the recurring 12:01 timestamp appearing across related videos, suggests a deep, possibly narrative-driven mystery. This mirrors themes seen in other classic 90s and early 2000s lost media or cryptic experimental animations, where surreal visuals create an unsettling atmosphere. As someone who’s dabbled in ARG communities, this tape bears hallmarks of an elaborate alternate reality game, especially considering the precision of animation and hidden details like "Temporal Enforcement Unit" visible on armor. Yet, it could also be an authentic, lost pilot episode or short from that era, perhaps unreleased or never fully completed, which makes it even more tantalizing. The tension and panic conveyed by Buster’s expression when trapped in an electric cage, and the surreal escape through a computer’s inner world, powerfully evoke feelings of helplessness in a bizarre technological or temporal prison. These themes resonate with digital age anxieties and the concept of being trapped in a loop or digital 'detention.' I’d recommend anyone intrigued by analog horror, lost media, or cryptic animated shorts to explore the full storyboard available on the author’s blog. It sheds more light on subtle details and strengthens the argument for this being something significant—whether a real lost piece of 90s animation history or a masterpiece ARG. Either way, it’s a fascinating dive into the strange, borderline terrifying world of temporal captivity as seen through this unique visual experience.
