hey real quick can anybody help me find this image that I’ve seen before here on tumblr. it looks like this

the button doesn’t necessarily say “Elucidate the Rapture” but it does say something that’s kind of lengthy and has religious connotations. the woman pushing the button has an expression of indescribable smugness. there might be other buttons on the machine (?) she is pressing.

FOUND IT

Oh this is only the first image in the Eschatron 9000 Series

and the finale, because of the Tumblr image limit

thanks this is part of an even grander incomprehensibleness than I could have expected

I cannot believe that this is a website where you can ask “hey i think i saw a weird image once” and put a bad stick figure drawing of it and someone will be like “oh yeah that’s the first installment of a 12-part post-ironic apocalypse fever dream photoshop series” and just hand you a dozen of the most unhinged images you’ve ever seen in your life, that still have a better three act structure than most modern cinema

I dont think thats the whole photoset…. I found one more

But from what i can gather thats Crystal Thierry, also known as page73girl. Who seems to have been a model for the now defunct biggestletdown.com…

But i have no idea when the eschatron 9000 pictures were made or for that matter the original photos that were used to make it

this is far more than “random person in 2005ish creates surreal visual narrative” - let’s go deeper down the rabbit hole, shall we?

to Immanentize the Eschaton means to bring about utopian conditions and create heaven on Earth

the phrase is first cited in the Discordian religious text, Principia Discordia (1963), for whom Discord (aka Eris) is goddess:

the first line of Robert Anton Wilson and Robert Shea’s 1975 The Illuminatus! trilogy: “It was the year when they finally immanentized the Eschaton.”

in Frederik Pohl’s The Eschaton Sequence (1997 - 1999), the human race is caught up in a galactic war between two alien races attempting to immanentize the eschaton

in Ken Macleod's The Stone Canal (1997), one of the chapters is “Another crack at Immanentising the Eschaton”

Crystal Thierry’s (aka the modern Discordia / Eris) narrative lives in esteemed company

here’s what the warning in the image says btw because i wanted to read it but it was too blurry so i had to spend several minutes hunting for a version with better resolution, so I’m posting it here so nobody else has to make that same journey

“DO NOT OPERATE THE ESCHATRON 9000 UNLESS YOU’RE REALLY, REALLY SERIOUS ABOUT DESTROYING THE WORLD”

tbh a lot of my advice boils down to “hey you know that terrible horrible looming thing you’re doing your best to avoid and distract and escape as much as possible but no matter what you do it just keeps looming and looming and ruining your life”

“just, fuckign, run straight at it screaming.”

we need to bring back the phrase "what business is it of yours" in a big way i'm serious

valtsv

i know you can just say "none of your business" but phrasing it as a question with a jarringly formal tone is the ideal way to shoot an overfamiliar unwelcome overture dead in its tracks and force the person making it to confront the boundaries they're taking for granted + it would really piss people off which is funny

valtsv

&also it allows you to experience the joy of talking like an autistic vampire, which i highly recommend

stop assuming the worst most bad faith negative interpretations of everyone else's intentions and you will find yourself so much more at ease in life

#i actively do the opposite to the point that it annoys people #i almost nevet let anyone i talk to say something negative or assume bad intenions/have bad faith interpretations of someone else without #offering at least one counterpoint or thinking of a reason for whatever caused the person I'm speaking with to do what i mentioned in the #earlier tag #i find it immensely helpful to not only behave as i do in conversations as well as in my own head because while it happens for me #automatically nowadays; it didn't always. i had to train myself to change the way my brain works: I used to be incredibly pessimistic #always assuming the worst case scenario or the worst intention or that that everyone was out to get me and that the world sucked and life #sucked. and i also used to be incredibly depressed all the time and actively wanting to end things. and i don't remember why but i remember #one day thinking that my pessimistic mindset wasn't serving me. assuming the worst was only making me worse because while i assumed the #worst because in my head if you did then you could never be disappointed but only relieved; that potential relief didn't outweigh the #negative effect had the rest of the time. so i worked on changing it and doing it in conversations really helped cement it faster in my #brain than i think it otherwise would have. i love thinking the way i do now. sometimes people think I'm a naive idiot for it but i love #assuming the best in people. i love how much more free i am now than i was before. much more content than back then. highly recommend!
