current mood; cw: horror movie quote, reality damage
"Trent stood at the edge of the rip, stared into the illimitable gulf of the unknown, the stygian world yawning blackly beyond. Trent's eyes refuse to close. He did not shriek, but the hideous unholy abominations shrieked for him as in the same second he saw them spill and tumble upward out of an enormous carrion black pit, choked with the gleaming white bones of countless unhallowed centuries. Trent began to back away from the rip as the army of unspeakable figures twilit by the glow from the bottomless pit came pouring at him toward our world."
I can't, Trent.
I read it to the end.

(That's a quote from In The Mouth of Madness. Good film. Feels relevant. Wish it didn't. Wish I didn't feel so much like a Light That Failed today. Wish I didn't know deep down in my heart that if Sutter Cane showed up at my doorstep, I'd probably invite him right in, because any magic is better than none.)

@001zlnv Tried. Failed. Fell off jungle gym and woke up here. ;>

The jungle gym is treacherous. It took one of my teeth when I wasn't looking.

I was not allowed in those weird half-domes that we had as a child... the geometric architecture and the painted aluminum bars... I swore that once I climbed in, the world would somehow change, and I wouldn't be able to get back out, so I could never enter one...
... also, covered slides were portal gates, and I couldn't go through them, down or upwards... normal slides were fine, though...

@JulieSqveakaroo @001zlnv I had SO MANY weird little tics like that too! (Had... heh.... yeah. *looks out window, blows, and counts to three*)

@001zlnv I DID actually fall off one and hit my head when I was 4-5. Let to a lifelong fear of heights and climbing but didn't do to seem hany arm.

@zebratron2084 I feel like this is a proper Hug-Offering Situation, so I want to offer hugs if you need them. Things haven’t been super good for you lately. :(
re: what the fuck is that crazy tiger talking about (re: current mood; cw: horror movie quote, reality damage)
@DifficultToTame Honestly? I focus on the negative here, and yeah I HAVE been mightily stressed over our still-unresolved Attic Cat Situation, but...
We're OK. :D I'm missing my old life in Seattle with a huge queer furry community something fierce, even if I feel like I was always kept at arms' length from it. But my finances are brighter than they've ever been, we have a safe and repeatable short-term Cat Rescue method for now, turns out I DID NOT HAVE COVID...
So really? The support and empathy delight me ( <3 ) but the fact I can even HAVE existental ennui is probably a sign that I'm far enough up the Hierarchy of Needs to be more or less all right. ;)

@zebratron2084 I’m glad to hear that you and yours are doing pretty well (and that you don’t have Covid! Yay!! :D) and I hope that continues - thanks for letting us know how you’ve been doing. <3

@zebratron2084
Your honor I may just be a simple country warlock, but what ya got to do is bonk those horrors on the head with a rod of iron, salt them, then steal their bones, and put their soul stuff in a bottle.
Er, I mean seize the means of reality destruction.
