fucked up in the crib watching bob l’eponge

This is ridiculously cute and adorable.

Creepypasta characters were real, but nobody was afraid of them or treated them seriously anymore because they were all washed up and past their prime. Slenderman wore a wig and apparently got addicted to cocaine.

Everyone is so weird about people who cry easily. Fellas, is it evil and manipulative to *checks notes* have an involuntary stress response?

This is also something Machiavelli recommended; when you take over a city, you should put a complete monster in charge, let him terrorize everyone for a few months, and then step in looking scandalized at his "excesses" and getting rid of him. That way, everyone's so relieved just not to be living under super-tyranny that they forget that they're still living under tyranny.
