unfortunate that wanting to be accepted and social came with my humanity

One of my favorite subtle cosmic horror elements of The Amazing World of Gumball is that secondary characters are terrified of being boring. It sticks out, because it'd be more expected for kids to worry that they're "annoying" or "not cool"... boring is an odd choice of descriptor.
In The Storm, Carmen temporarily breaks up with Alan because she fears their "perfect" love is becoming boring. In The Colossus, Hector is sent over the edge by Gumball telling him he's boring. Clayton admits his reason for habitual lying is because he's a loser, and all of his true stories aren't interesting. Tobias feels like he should be entitled to a sidekick and exciting adventures, because he's rich and colorful and he's earned them, and yet his life is mundane.
It's not like they know what happens to you if you're too boring
But maybe they've got a sense of it in the back of their heads.

Image 1 reads:
I will never become immune to death and human suffering, no matter how hard western cutthroat capitalists, racist politicians, and morally bankrupt and genocidal maniacs try to get me to become immune to it all. I insist on being shocked. I insist on being saddened and feeling overwhelmed by it all.
Image 2 reads:
Wars, ethnic cleansing, genocide, cutthroat capitalism, and all of the horrors that humanity is capable of, are not normal. Not at all! It is not normal that a human being's full-time job is to design bombs, rifles, and all sorts of death machines that end life in some of the most gruesome ways.
Image 3 reads:
It is not normal that human beings wake up every morning, eat breakfast, dress up, and go to "work", where they operate drones that drop bombs on other flesh and blood human beings. And they're expected to normalise and live with all that death and destruction, for the rest of their lives?!!
Image 4 reads:
I refuse to become immune to it all. I insist on being shocked, because the fact that it shocks me every time, shows my humanity is intact. It is a sad day when those who exist outside of their humanity try to force us to normalise and get used to genocide. Please, always insist on being shocked.
