heya tom it's bob from the office down the hall

the purpose of a toy is what it does

the backrooms are simply not as scary conceptually if there is Something In Them

the whole reason why they're so unnerving is BECAUSE there's nothing in them!! because they're unrelentingly liminal and lonely and uncomforting. there shouldn't be a monster guy in there chasing you. you should glimpse other humans (?) from a distance but they walk away before you can close the gap and then they're gone. things should run away from YOU. do u get it

"and there was a MONSTERowooowwohhhh" the monster is isolation and banal beige sameness and uncanny valley architecture. you fool. you rube. you're putting a hat on a hat and the second hat is not only unnecessary but it ruins the first hat!!!!!!! "there's a monster in there" great so now it's just another place for a monster to be. ridiculous

fine I will concede: you CAN actually put something in there while maintaining the vibes, but it should complement the location instead of just being a generic scary guy you could put literally anywhere

important detail i forgot to add: the swing ghost wanted blood sacrifices from the students. in my defense it was "only a few drops".

Why don’t we ever talk about the fact that leonard nimoy had to walk off set because of tooth pain and show up at his dentist dressed as spock

Also Brent Spiner broke his mandible during the filming of ‘The Game’ and had to be taken to hospital dressed as Data

Jonathan Frakes got hit with a part of his quarterstaff when it was smacked with a sword and had to go to the hospital dressed in his Q-pid Robin Hood rags.

Robert Duncan McNeill had an episode of Voyager where his first major make-up day gave him the appearance of gnarly burns all over his face & hands and he said he then ‘gleefully skipped off to the nearest 7-11 to bask in the horrified looks as he casually shopped’. XD

I remember when Nana Visitor told us a story about going to the hospital in her Star Trek outfit (I cant remember what for) one of the interns there was freaking out until it was explained to him that it was just makeup and that her nose did not, in fact break and crumple like an accordion, and that she was there for something else.

I remember reading that Armin Shimmerman once had to race home to his family after an earthquake still in his quark makeup.

Andy Robinson also went home after that earthquake in full Garak makeup and the traffic lights weren’t working so people had to make eye contact at the intersections and he says everybody always let him go first

your aversion to anything earnest or sincere has affected us in the following ways 1. youre annoyinggggggg

I feel like starfish are one of those animals that are treated as very “normal” by people but absolutely shouldn’t be. Like they’re a wheel of repeating heads connected by a central stomach. They walk around using thousands of tiny sticky hydraulically powered tentacles. They have an eye on the end of each arm. Instead of having a mouth they just have an opening where their entire stomach can be pushed out to engulf prey. And they’re just allowed to exist like this. It’s not illegal or anything.

The only difference between a chud religion and a woke religion is whether or not said religion has the weight of the government or other powerful institutions behind it. No matter how beautiful and egalitarian and morally aspirational the original texts of a religion are, there is absolutely nothing stopping institutional actors from twisting those words to defend the powerful and demonize the powerless. Bitches in the U.S. will be like "Buddhism is such a peaceful religion, you never hear about Buddhist extremists" yeah of course YOU haven't heard of Buddhist extremists you couldn't find Myanmar on a map if your life depended on ir

In essence am I implying it should be tonally similar to the emperor's new groove but with ultra violence? Perhaps
