I'm opening up this post for discussion. Why do most of Sigmund Freud's photos depict him mid-smoke?

i am pretty surprised you recognize that i’m from a doomed world, though.

usually i have to be the one to bring that up.

i promise both my continued existence AND my dislike for shitty 90’s films has nothing to do with the big tentacle guys.

i just grew up and realized they were terrible.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 1d

bluh. don’t remind me of that stuff, jeez…

i am not trying to gloss over it or anything, but i am not very keen on talking about any of the family killing, world-destroying, corpse-smooching shenanigans that happened back then!

𝓡𝓛 @tentacletautology.bsky.social · 1d

I understand. I'd be inclined to agree a bit more if that moment in our lives weren't so fraught with familial homicide.
Though, I'd be lying if I said your presence didn't help.

Anyway, it seems their influence permeates what is left of your aberant timeline.

you're making it sound like it wasn't that big of a deal.
i guess it always felt like this really pivotal moment to me, since it was the first time we ever spoke face to face.

anyway, fthulhu said if i make a pact with him i can look as cool as you did back there.

i am probably just going to reuse the candy corn vampire costume, again.

or... maybe i won't dress up at all?
i don't know.

i haven't really been feeling it this season.

he doesn't seem like a very trustworthy guy, but the offer is pretty tempting...

yes, rose. the broodfester tongues have claimed me in your absence. you are not the only one making nefarious deals with the horrors that live in our dreams anymore.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 1d

maybe this is sort of weird, but i am kind of glad that i still don't really understand anything that rose says.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 1d

"ladies and gentlemen, this is your captain speaking... welcome to con air." okay man. sure. why the hell not.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 1d

i guess they made up some dumb exception because he was an ex soldier and knew how to kill people, but i feel like 10 years is sort of excessive for the situation.

this movie fucking sucks.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 1d

why did they even lock poe up??

sure he killed a guy or whatever, but it was pretty clearly in self defense and he had like 5 other witnesses to the whole thing.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 1d

every time i rewatch this piece of garbage i can't get past the intro before succumbing to second hand embarassment.

i cannot believe i used to get genuinely excited seeing this shitty logo appear on my television.

who the fuck is eric

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 2d

Soirée @peregrinatemchanic.bsky.social · 2d

saw a car coated in fiesta ware and i asked 'what the fuck is this magnificent beast'
they simply stared at me with their empty beady eyes and went 'if i get in a wreck the uranium dust'll end both me and the future corpse that i hit'

i was very moderately scared

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 4d

uhm...

no offense, but i am pretty much an expert at weird plot shit at this point. whatever your curse is can't be that weird compared to the stuff i've seen.

besides, it sounds pretty similar to my position, actually.
being, like... psuedo-immortal in a situation that kills you a lot.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 8d

i've died a few times myself.
i don't think this is even my original body, actually...

1

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 8d

( You have no idea what they're talking about. But you also have a lot of experience not understanding things, so it doesn't really strike you as that strange. )

is that some sort of weird mortality thing...?
it sounds sort of evil and ominous, whatever it is.

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 8d

maybe you should look into getting of those, instead of defiling the grass.

( ENOUGH WITH THE GRASS. )

john. my name is john.

[ > Enter Name? ]

( You're doing a lot of things you haven't done in a while today, you guess. When's the last time you had to introduce yourself to someone? )

i am pretty sure they make fancy wooden boxes specifically for corpses to rot inside of called "coffins."

1

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 8d

don't think you can make that sort of claim, man.

unless you happen to be some sort of licensed grass inspector, i guess.

but if you were, then you'd realize this grass actually kind of sucks, and you probably don't even wanna sit on it.

( ... You almost chuckle as well. )

[ ==> John: Do the windy thing. ]

( It's been a hot minute since you've called upon The Breeze to do anything for you, but, sure. Why not?

You point towards the line—Just to show that you are the one responsible for the sudden flow of air that forces the dirt back into it's previous position. )

John. @rxngwraith.bsky.social · 8d

( You furrow your brows in mock-contemplation as you consider the merits of sharing your grass field with the stranger. )

hmmmmm....

( You don't actually have a problem with it. You're just being difficult for the sake of it. )

i dunno, man... looks like the same grass to me.
