Reader, writer & marker of doom. Strange stories, horror poetry, philosophy-and-other-video-games, and occasionally, chaos-fueled kitchen-witchery.
...It really IS all just a simulation, folks. Which doesn't prove nihilists right -- nihilists are cowards.
What it means is that how you choose to act says nothing about the world, and everything about *you*.
You do you; literally; it's your primary moral obligation. I'll be over here cheering you on no matter how gross and weird it is.
@JuliusGoat Agreed, thank you. A truly good use of the holiday season, I think, is as a time to think about those in need, and about how it's getting to be winter and they will need (NEED need) extra help in order to Not Die This Year.
I want to live in a society where everyone who can stay warm and eat uses the holidays to remember and give extra help to those who can't.
I just discovered a wonderful life-hack.
When the local dens of scum and vill--er, "churches" are banging their creepy cult-bells on your nice Sunday morning, if you put on your trusty playlist of #horror soundtrack-and-related music, the bells will just blend in as an added layer of creepy!
This is a great chiller option for cases where you feel a little bad blasting #metal to cover the cult-noises. (My nearest neighbors have a baby and are probably desperate to sleep in; I'm only SO evil.)
Remember kids, Black Friday is the day Santa drives around in his electric sleigh returning all of this year's pollution to rich people in the form of high-density pure carbon particulate pumped in through their windows, chimneys and stockings. Right into their white carpets and I-don't-need-health-insurance-anyway lungs.
You can't see him because Santa is magic, but he's out there and every time a billionaire coughs a new reindeer learns how to fly.
In this job, you will earn pay to
sacrifice yourself in photogenic ways.
We say that up front so those of you who
prefer your blood to be unpalatable will
apply elsewhere.
Recent favorite #scary #movies by salsa strength:
Mild - "The Voices", starring Ryan Reynolds, 2018. Silly fun but with some flavor
Medium - "Doctor Sleep", the 2019 sort-of-sequel to The Shining. Satisfying with some good spooky bits and some fluff
Spicy - "Incantation", Taiwanese subtitled film from 2022. Made me laugh and clap; will mess up your non-scary-movie friends.
If you know yours, I want to hear em!

"Apparently I made this tincture during Covid lockdown, I can no longer read the label but it smells like deathfire...think it will help me sleep?"
"There was screaming in the street last night. I screamed back as loud as I could, thinking maybe we had a wendigo, but that's silly of course; they don't come into cities. Never saw any sign of one, either. ...But when I screamed, all my neighbors began screaming too, and they still haven't stopped."
Kitchen witchy horror stories (all inspired by true ones):
"I put something delicious in the crock pot at 5am and now I have to wander around like a wraith, smelling it alllll day"
"I cut up a bunch of spicy stuff, nobody's home, and my EYE ITCHES"

I wish we knew what writer came up with the image of a useless person "sitting around and eating bonbons". They deserve celebration, because that metaphor, that idea, has persisted so long that NOBODY EVEN KNOWS WTF A BONBON IS ANYMORE and we *still* say it. I have never one single time
in my life eaten a bonbon (can you still?) but I have accused folks of doing so as a marker of indulgence and laziness countless times.
Whoever wrote that one -- *wow*, good job!
Never been so outraged at an edit in my whole life.
They weighed me at the Doc's office and it was 166.6 (lb! not kilos, lol) ...and they wrote down one six SEVEN.
You bastards! I am a work of cursed Art and you try to steal it from me with your laziness?! May all of you gain sixty-six point six pounds for your sin.
I like my horror boundaries pushed, so it's time for some love for all the *fanstastic* #manga out there that's creepy, unsettling, and terrifying, sometimes in really unexpected ways (particularly if it's not your "base" culture).
I mean obviously everything #junjiito does is gold; but also #akira is bone-shakingly scary at times (READ it! yes it's huge; do it anyway!), and #jujutsukaisen will sucker-punch you with horror in a fun high-school adventure...what else? I'm forgetting lots...
