surreal, kinda existential horror, body horror

I want to oscillate so rapidly that my soul is torn from my physical form and left free to roam the universe for the rest of eternity

it’s not the infinite that scares me, it’s the finite that I dread. I want to exist forever

@variance I also wanna point you towards http://surrealism-plays.com/Artaud.html

Artaud/To Have Done With The Judgement Of God is uhhh.. 'Complicated' (read: he exoticizes the hell outta tribal cultures he knows nothing about)

but with that up front?

The last few lines of this piece are etched indelibly into our skull for good reason

Because *damn* that just.. sums it up so well

(I'll stop the linkspam now, aha.. butyes we relate verymuch =V)
