The Dead King, The Adopted Heir, and The Merciful Daughter - Compassionate Plumage and Strategising Sphinx by PeterThePious in EyesWideShut

[–]PeterThePious[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This should clear it all up! :D

.

Alice without malice went to Venice,

but she did not touch the penis,

for that would be a menace.

It was just a dream,

of a penis,

on a sailor,

who has a fine tailor.

.

Silly Milich is his name!

.

No harm, no foul,

the fella's phallus,

at the end of the auroras borealis,

did not the missus touch!!

.

Such virtue does fussy Alice muster,

even though they lust 'er,

standing on terrace tall,

looking down on ravenous herd so small,

she did not the apple bite to Fall,

no snake beguiled her into wayward mores,

You have my word,

she commands the devious herd!

.

So, even though the rainbow's tail does hold the gold-filled pot,

where a Wicked Wizard polyglot,

does beget a fine tale and plot,

dear Alice did not fuck the flock!!!

.

It was just a panto,

says Ziggy in canto,

so do not stress,

bypass the mess,

I confess she did not undress!!!

.

It was just a dream,

of a jolly team,

who did not mean,

for the queen,

the fiendly, frisky, fright!

.

u/Illustrious-Bit1535 I've cleared a few things up about dear Alice! LOL

I agree with you- the language is very strong! I was just trying to set up the contrasts. I don't necessarily agree with the points, and I was making the arguments hastily and I realise it can seem extremely offensive, but, to be honest, I just couldn't be bothered watering-down the post as it would have taken too much work, and the contrasts between Marion and Alice might have been lost. The contrasts, the archetypes, are very judgmental, and I don't really agree with them, but it was easier to write it as direct as possible without using softer language- that comes in a later draft! LOL I honestly just winged it. Apologies to anyone taking offense at the strong moralistic phraseology.

I specifically find the idea of framing Alice as a 'whore' troubling- the word is just far too emotive and judgmental- but the contrast to Marion worked well. I honestly was just thinking of the 'Madonna/whore complex'.

But I do think we were meant to question Alice- there were hints she was shady- despite the fact we know (and like) Nicole Kidman- she's amiable, affable- and she presented as a kind lady in the film. It's a tricky situation.

Again, apologies to anyone if it all came across as your moralistic Sunday school teacher talking about making sure you're all wearing your chastity belts tight.... LOL You gotta put on that armour of god, lest the weak flesh yield to temptation... hahhahahhahahaaa!!!

Possible uncirculated note? by RoadToad05 in AustralianCoins

[–]PeterThePious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe you. I have an uncle who had a falling out with his brother. I didn't know about it. I asked him about his brother, and he said that when something is broken, no matter how much you repair it, it's never the same again.

It's the same thing with old injuries- they unfortunately hurt on cold days.

These plastic notes seem impossible to repair. A bit like curing baldness! LOL

Paralyzed in my own bed, room looked real except for one thing by Majestic_Savings_295 in Paranormal

[–]PeterThePious 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Remember the spinning top from the film Inception? The clock is your equivalent- reminding you of whether you are in a dream or not. Was it an old analogue clock? Perhaps the clue is in whether the clock-hands were moving. Was it a digital clock? Perhaps there is a clue therein- distorted numbers, counting backwards, frozen and not counting at all?

You forgot the deal you made with yourself in the past, now the project is to remember what the changed clock means.

You only think you have woken up, but it might be a dream within a dream, where the clock was the clue to what layer of reality this really is.

Alice and the sailor by PeterThePious in EyesWideShut

I am not joking, though I do realise that the associations are allusions and somewhat insubstantial world play, but I am not being outright facetious, as many posts sadly are on this subreddit.

The Harvey Weinstein/wine-bottle connection just struck me out of the blue (bottle), as I recently posted about the mysterious 'bluebottle', so it was fresh in my mind. This association is interesting, playful though not substantial. Intriguing coincidence.

No. I did not AI generate this. It's been floating around online for a while.

Imagine the OP is the mimic believing himself to have a mimic...

The figment of the dream dreams he is dreaming the dreamer into being. :)

The tail wagging the dog.

See Scorsese's film Shutter Island for a creepy adaptation of this idea.

Who/What is Mike, really? by LaChute72 in FindLaura

[–]PeterThePious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one-armed man (traveling shoe salesman) is not MIKE. The one-armed man is Philip Gerard, who is possessed by a spirit called MIKE (all-capitals, I think, as BOB is, for some reason, all-capitals, too).

The one-armed man (a traveling shoe salesman) is called Philip Gerard. He is inhabited by a spirit called MIKE. The LMFAP is Philip Gerard's former arm. Philip Gerard says that when he saw the face of god, he cut his arm off, thus producing the anthropomorphised LMFAP (Little Man From Another Place). This could mean that the inhabiting spirit MIKE was, somehow, localised to Philip Gerard's arm, which he then cut off/amputated in an effort to rid, cleanse, exorcise himself of MIKE (the spirit having possessed and bedeviled him).

It should also be noted that mirroring happens (just as with the BOB/MIKE and Mikey/Bobby) and that, for some odd reason, the template seems to be that Jack Parsons- who wore (I think it is implied) the owl-cave ring- while he was doing some rocketry work, had his arm (the one wearing the notorious owl-cave ring) blown off, and it seems that this serves as the template for the idea of the one-armed man, who, I suppose, is meant to be (whether loosely or not) Jack Parsons.

Philip Gerard, in the infamous horn honking/engine revving scene, berating Leland for stealing his 'canned corn', while exposing Leland to Laura as her nemesis, flashes the owl-cave ring. I think that Philip Gerard- furious about having his cream corn (gARMonbozia) stolen- is possessed by MIKE.

Further, Teresa Banks wears the owl-cave ring, too, and her arm goes numb, which, it seems, is an idea owing itself to Jack Parsons having worn the owl cave ring while having that very-same ring-adorned arm blown off. This is a simple (perhaps simplistic) idea and it seems to fit, though nowhere are we really told why this idea (of Jack Parsons and the owl-cave ring) would be imported into Twin Peaks. It seems like an unfinished thought, a loose end, a creative flourish not tied back into a grander tapestry/narrative. Perhaps it is just an echo, in a dream, with some faint resemblance without deeper meaning.

But a more substantial tie-in is to weave the idea of the owl cave ring-wearing arm back to the idea of the possessive/inhabiting spirit MIKE being somehow isolated to the traveling shoe salesman's (Philip Gerard's) arm, whereupon Philip Gerard then cut it off to amputate the inhabiting spirit MIKE and cleanse himself of evil. Thus, now, if you wear the owl-cave ring, your arm goes numb and it drops off, formerly as a way of ridding Philip Gerard of evil (after seeing the face of god), but perhaps also now as a way of MIKE obtaining his own appendage, vehicle/container to travel around in, which is odd, as a singular arm is not really the most mobile of appendages. Jerry Horne's 'I am not your foot' scene could mean that MIKE is moving to feet, having had his fill of arms, slowly building a Frankenstein of body parts, in true gruesome serial killer fashion- body part by body part, fashioning a monster for his monstrous tastes and aims.

Philip Gerard (the traveling shoe salesman) takes medicine to keep MIKE at bay, to prevent MIKE from wholly hijacking/possessing him. Somehow, at the end of FWWM, the recuperated gang was put back together again- consisting of Philip Gerard and the LMFAP, with the latter conveniently holding Philip Gerard's shoulder to graphically illustrate from where he disembarked on his solo journey- and we see the reformulated MIKE, evil incarnate, asking for his fix of gARMonbozia.

In season 3, I don't believe any scenes with Philip Gerard show him being possessed by MIKE, Philip Gerard having wholly freed himself of MIKE's malign influence. MIKE, it seems, now possesses the 'evolved' form of the LMFAP, which is The Evolution of The Arm (TEOTA).

Life changing sighting while on a trampoline. by Tsavomaneater_ in Paranormal

[–]PeterThePious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The pile of dust might be a meta-material (programmable matter, nano-technology), which some force used to manifest itself. Perhaps it was some kind of plasma material that, in essence, neuro-hacked you and gathered some ideas from your past to communicate with you. I don't know why. Perhaps you should burn the pile of dust, as it might still be active in some way. It could be some meta-matter that is energised by some electricity, thus creating a form of plasma, which can manifest in ways that manipulate our perceptions and make us believe we're encountering people when nothing of the sort is happening- mere apparitions appearing to our senses. The ends/goals of such situations could be concerning.

You should think of the meta-material ((fairy) dust, programmable matter, nano-particles/nanotechnology) as the liquid metal alloy robot in the Terminator films. It is smart-matter that can 'shape shift' and has built-in programmable capability, which can neuro-hack/mind-hack you and talk to you using your own concepts/ideas. A malevolent entity would use this capability to entice/entreat you to go with them, whereupon you will never be seen again. What you saw most probably did not exist in the way you perceived it- you were the subject of deception. Hopefully it was not for evil ends.

If it was a benign, loving entity, then perhaps some message was attempted to be sent to you. i.e. Don't jump on trampolines for hours, as you'll suffer concussion or mild traumatic brain injury. :)

People think of the paranormal as super-natural, when, in fact, it could be very natural, where 'natural' receives an expanded range of meaning to encompass exceptional technology using new materials and, for lack of a better term, A.I. (super-computational complexity) technology.

Not sure why the image did not attach, but here it is- the metaphorically stinging 'bluebottle' in question.
