it/its 22 fucking stupid

Hey, no homo, but I am sitting on the broken swing set out back in the perfect, quiet, 2:00am blackness and picturing the softness of your voice and the darkness of your eyes with such perfect and terrible clarity that it feels like I'm choking on my own heartbeat.

[c3rvida3]

Now I'm eating croutons straight out of the bag.

[le-panda-chocovore]

Still no homo ?

[c3rvida3]

I'm gonna level with you, friend: I am eating these croutons gay style.

“monsters in the backrooms” is still such a funny concept to me

“here’s a space that’s odd and makes you feel uniquely alone, like no one has ever been here before, but don’t worry, we put a critter in here because we thought that was boring”

[fishmech]

So you only like the first 62 words of the 80 word post that established the concept? Fascinating.

[ashenmind]

yes

[ashenmind]

like that last paragraph is exactly what I described; an author overplaying their hand because they don’t grasp that the space being empty is far more interesting than anything you could possibly put into it

[ashenmind]

there are 1001 one things you can put into the backrooms that are more interesting than monsters

once you have done that, find something else to do with your creative efforts. not everything needs to be suitable for a video game.

no. wander my halls for 10,000 years.

A room is most scary when it is empty

[nepharim-tree]

To put it another way: A room that has things in it has things to do. It has clear actions that can be taken. Those things may be scary or dangerous, like a monstrous creature chasing you, but scary or dangerous things present an even clearer picture of what actions you need to take; you need to run. You need to survive. The immediate threat (monster) erases the existential threat (the empty room).

An empty room has unanswerable questions. A room empty except for the Scary Monster has directions. Now riddle me this- which of those is more terrifying?

[appendingfic]

i always read the last paragraph as pointing out that the infinite solitude created the hallucinatory uncertainty of whether you're alone, which is in fact scarier than KNOWING there's a monster

I remember someone saying “when I die, plant catnip on my grave. I want to be visited by lots and lots of cats” and that changes the way I see my own future death entirely

[play-now-my-lord]

gambling with angels is easy. they can't lie but they have addictive personalities; it's easy to clean them out then make them divulge secrets about the business of heaven to call your bets. my dad used to say "hey, watch this" and summon angels to play poker with him with a sort of bone flute he inherited from his grandpa, and they'd be holding horseshit and still want to call him. i'm talking "raise on a two pair" level bad at it, but they couldn't stop trying to win. my dad taught me all the secret names of God before i was out of grade school and i would use them to curse my enemies so they came down with leprosy. you can cure leprosy these days but it still sucks, especially for a child. but they had it coming for pissing me off

"There is nothing wrong with adults living with their parents for any reason and it's actually the norm in huge parts of the world."

and

"People should be able to afford to live independently if that's what they want."

are statements that NEED to coexist.

When speaking with someone else, if they ever ask you to repeat yourself because they didn't hear or understand what you said the first time, always show patience and kindness while repeating yourself.

It's not uncommon to feel frustrated or impatient at having to repeat yourself. However, feeling frustration or impatience at having to repeat yourself doesn't mean that you need to show that to whoever you're speaking with.

There's all sorts of factors that can lead to someone not understanding you and needing you to repeat yourself. People can have auditory processing disorders, people can be hard of hearing, people can have a different first language than you, etc. Or even if someone doesn't have an auditory processing disorder, and isn't hard of hearing, and has the same first language as you, that doesn't mean they deserve to receive a snippy attitude just because they couldn't hear you or understand you the first time.

Either way, especially when someone just didn't understand you, it's always unkind and inconsiderate to be snippy or rude to someone just because they couldn't understand you. It makes life extra hard for marginalized groups, such as immigrants who have to regularly communicate in their second language, or people who are hard of hearing, when they have to deal with constant snippy attitudes or even cruelty from those who find it justifiable to be unkind to someone just for not being able to understand.

So the next time you're talking to someone, and they say something like "sorry I didn't hear/understand that, could you say that again?" or even just give you that blank lost expression universally recognized as "I didn't hear/understand what you just said", when you feel that frustration rising at having to repeat yourself, instead of getting snippy or showing any anger or aggression, take a breath and repeat yourself with patience.

[mav-erick]

one thing I hate is when I ask, "sorry, what was that?" or "can you say that again?" they DON'T repeat exactly what they said. they paraphrase or repeat one part of it. no, i want to hear all of it again, please. ffs. im not stupid, just repeat it.
