justin mcelroy has said many powerful things but honestly no set of words in the english language conveys the same energy as “that’s a funny trick to play on god”

[dunknewton-deactivated20210211]

“you’re rearranging deck chairs on the titanic, my friend” is a very close second

[unholydevilhost]

“we can do whatever sins we want! there’s no god here to observe this” is very good too

[mrsmummifikation]

“the man who sleeps with a machete is a fool every night but one” was also good

[waxminutes]

“for the millionth time the first amendment protects you from the government not the justin”

Griffin, Singing, with Guitar: Sometimes in life, you want to buy a boat. But you don’t have the money that salesmen require for boats. But that sea is calling to me… You gotta give to the Maximum Fun Drive, Maximum Fun Drive, Maximum Fun Drive, Maximum Fun Drive! 

Instrumental 

Griffin: What do you do when you’ve got a little boat? And your friends at the marina, they all make fun of your little boat. Well, the answer is clear: Give me boat money this year! It’s time for the Maximum Fun Drive, Maximum Fun Drive, the Maximum Fun Drive. The boat was an allegory for my penis. 

Applause and Justin: Beautiful! Beautiful… 

Griffin: I’m talking about penis enlargement surgery–Boy laughter–The men at the docks make fun of my dick!–Boy laughter–I wish that the boat men would stop looking at me in the bathroom, it’s supposed to be a private place… 

Laughter and a Boy: Woo!

The funniest version of this is when you work in a haunted house

I was super bored one night bc we were really slow, and the animatronic that served as my cue had broken without my knowing, so I didn’t get an alert that someone was coming.

I was in the hallway singing “Peanut Butter Jelly Time” at the top of my lungs and jumping up and down in the hallway. The guy in the next hallway over was singing it with me. I don’t know what he was doing but knowing him, it was equally goofy.

So imagine being a teenager girl and her teenage boyfriend, coming down a dark and spooky hallway filled with fog, and finding a small demonic-looking thing jumping like a madman, shouting “PEANUT BUTTER JELLY TIME” at the top of its lungs with the voice of a twelve year old boy, and hearing a deep, booming voice repeating it back.

[lastczarnian]

That sounds scarier than most things I’ve experienced in a haunted house to be totally honest

Love that episode of TMA where you find out Jon was raised by his grandmother and it's like, oh so that's why you are the way you are

1. These aren’t pictures from Venice, the pictures are taken in Burano. The canals there are always clean and filled with fish and swans.

2. These pictures (unknowingly) transport ecofascist ideas. They transport the ecofascist idea that the Corona virus did the earth a pleasure, which paves the way for genocide and eugenics. It’s racist and ethnonationalistic. It’s social Darwinism. The people who are killed by natural disasters and pandemics (which “clean the nature”) are mostly poor, disabled, Black and Indigenous People of Color, non-westerners, and other marginalized people (aka not the people who caused them). The people who exploit(ed) humans and nature are still profiting. They buy their bunker, they are able to buy food when others can’t, they get tested, they are able to work remotely and get paid, and able to do social distancing/quarantine. They still get to profit off of it (now buying cheap stocks in the crisis which will get pricier once the pandemic is over). They own hospital chains, supermarkets and online shops, which now make lots of money but still pay their now-so-existential staff badly, give them zero-hour-contracts, lay them off and/or ignore safety measures. It’s capitalism which enables the exploitation which leads to natural disasters and pandemic crisis.

3. People should have clean water and air whether or not there is a pandemic.

tma’s a horror podcast but sometimes it’s just like: but don’t you ever want to just throw yourself out the window to feel yourself fall? don’t you want to bury yourself in the earth and feel the weight of everything pressing down on you?dont you want to just disappear mysteriously and never speak to anyone again? don’t you want to run fast through the night with sharp teeth, to just lose control? don’t you just want to lose yourself? don’t you want to shed your skin, your name, don’t you want to remake your body into something unrecognizable? don’t you hate the sun? don’t you want to know everything? don’t you want to burn? to know and be known? to be fully consumed by what loves you? and i’m like 🤔

[stealingmirrors]

THIS IS IT!!!! This is the thing that is so enrapturing about the world The Magnus Archives built: 

It’s purports to be a horror anthology podcast, and it is, but as you’re introduced to literal avatars of fear and see what they’re capable of, the horror that should repulse you becomes: oh. Look what they’re capable of. Look what they had to give up for it, look what it took from them, but look what they can do now

And that’s been done in so many kinds of media, but TMA depicts the horrifying cost and efficiency of those powers better than almost anything else because of how its framed: what if the thing you feared most consumed you, yet somehow you survived–but no one is going to be able to survive you.

But I said it “purports” to be a horror anthology podcast–that’s because most of the time, it’s actually a fantastic terror anthology podcast. Ann Radcliffe elucidates the difference:

 “Terror and Horror are so far opposite, that the first expands the soul and awakens the faculties to a high degree of life; the other contracts, freezes and nearly annihilates them. I apprehend, that neither Shakespeare nor Milton by their fictions, nor Mr. Burke by his reasoning, anywhere looked to positive horror as a source of the sublime, though they all agree that terror is a very high one; and where lies the great difference between horror and terror, but in uncertainty and obscurity, that accompany the first, respecting the dreaded evil?”

TMA relishes terror, masterfully balancing vast (lol) amounts of ambiguity in a rational framework, the irrational silhouetted by a thin but resilient logical backlighting, so that when you finally get the horror, the reveal? You should be so disgusted, so repulsed, but you’ve spent too long wondering about it. The pure dread and fear you felt upon first listening to statements about the dark, the desolation, the hunt–now it’s transmogrified into something you can’t run away from. The terror is not having a name for it, but the horror is discovering how much you relish it too, now.

michael shelley was awkward and weird, making michael distortion very weird, even for an entity whos whole deal is being weird. helen distortion?? weird. but not NEARLY as weird as michael. michael shelley was an anxious little man who constantly bungled social interactions and michael distortion is the same but withOUT the anxiety or embarrassment. uncontained.
