The Rot Consumes (pfp by asedeiya on discord)

Back a few years ago when The Backrooms was mostly just Wiki Hell I got really into it. Not because I liked the actual vibe of the original post but moreso just because I had gravitated towards the fact it was sort of a pseudo-worldbuilding thing that anyone could take part in. Back then, there used to be an entity called Weremoths which were humans transformed into anthropomorphic moths from eating too much “moth jelly” (don’t ask).

Me, being deep into my furry phase (it’s still lurking in the background but I’ve latched on to Homestuck) was immediately hooked on this and wanted to take it to its logical extreme and write a whole story about a group of inexperienced Backrooms delvers having to deal with one of their friends turning into a weremoth. And then some sort of sitewide purge happened removing articles that “didn’t fit” (as if any of the content on the wiki fit with the original vision of the 4chan post lmao) and the weremoth article was unceremoniously deleted overnight. Needless to say I lost interest in the Backrooms Wiki immediately.

There is no lesson to be learned here, I just wanted to talk about my experience with arguably the most hated slice of the The Backrooms fandom. Needless to say I will be reviving weremoths soon and nobody can stop me.

The boulder pushing punishment is iconic. But I think more people should know the reason Sisyphus was punished to begin with, which was for cheating death, twice.

The first time he cheated death, Sisyphus had just angered Zeus by revealing the location of the Asopid Aegina whom Zeus abducted. Which is super valid, fuck Zeus.

Sisyphus knew that Zeus would send the god of death Thanatos after him, so he prepared a trap and trapped Thanatos in the chains meant for him.

After that, nothing on Earth was able to die so long as Thanatos was in chains. Which meant no animals could be sacrificed to the gods. This angered the gods, who made Sisyphus' life so miserable with pain and illness that he would beg for death. And so he released Thanatos.

But then came the second time Sisyphus cheated death. As he was dying, he asked his wife to dump his naked corpse in the middle of the public square. Denied a proper burial, his soul ended up on the far side of the river Styx, unable to cross.

He complained to Hades and Persephone about how his wife disrespected him, and begged them to let him return briefly to the world of the living to scold her and make her bury him properly. They agreed, and Sisyphus returned to life. He then embraced his wife, and refused to return to the Underworld.

It's only when he finally died of old age that he was sent to Tartarus and punished with the boulder.

I don't remember where I've seen it, but I like the interpretation that Sisyphus doesn't have to push the boulder. He can choose to stay in Tartarus and rest. But he was promised that if he managed to push the boulder to the top of the mountain, he'll ascend to Elysium.

And Sisyphus, in his stubbornness and cleverness, refuses to give up on a challenge.

One must indeed imagine Sisyphus happy, planning and scheming about how he'll cheat the gods next.

I want to create a truly worthless piece of media. One that says nothing about itself, society as a whole, or the genre it comes from. Something so shallow it’s just a water stain on the pavement

earlier I was coming back up from skating and one of the starstruck little kids from across the hall asked me, “how are you allowed to drive on the inside?” (referring to the fact that I carefully skate in the hallway and elevator, because swapping shoes on and off for the one-block commute to and from the park is a massive pain in the ass), and I swear to god the dialogue options that flashed up on my heads-up display were

[] Nothing in the lease explicitly says I can’t, and all uncodified rules are merely suggestions

[] I’m probably not, but the only people in this building who are fast enough to actually stop me are the maintenance guys who are all charmed by my kind green eyes and adorable dog
