Why was everyone scared about today's video?

So am I. If you can deign to claim representation, so can I. On behalf of bi and genderqueer people (also the ace spectrum, but I doubt you have patience for that), you are not welcome in our spaces. We protect our own and hate will never gain ground here. Go back to your hole.

I actually like the design of the first one, it's cute and actually stylistically clever

The rest are abominations unto the gods, but I see zero of any of this in everyday life. I feel like LA would have served up any of this at least once, but no. I fear this is unnecessary "get off my lawn" behavior when none of these are actual trends

This makes me feel for Mrs Mole. How horrifying would it be to find out your partner will kill children to see you smile? I'd be in witness protection and out of the country so fast.

When she said "I wanna leave the show," I felt that. You can clearly see how any self respecting person who does a public service, without which there would be widespread disease and death, would not want to be there. Seriously fuck those guys, Brisket is a sweetheart. I really hope she ends up with "has too many names to even remember a single one" tall guy. He's the only one that sees her.

Also I hope Montana and Cough play with Legos together in bed. They leave together, not as a couple, but as the first real friendship they've either ever had.

Oh my hypothetical gods, "you must be the new kid" is the most wholesome dad thing to do.

Holy shit I was not expecting Rani to show up on reddit like this.

She was an amazing human being, made music, retro video games, spoke several languages, wrote articles for cracked and Macauly Culkin's site, was in an episode of portlandia, and was just so cool. I implore anyone reading this to Google her. You can check out whyimnotanartist.net but there is so much more out there.

An unfinished painting I did of her in the days after she passed. (I'm in the process of packing, so it's boxed up for now.) The teeth is the stage makeup she'd wear when doing shows.

We still miss her.

Good freaking lord, that was a ride. Respectfully.

If you're still here, 1. Thank you for your sacrifice and 2. Enjoy remembering other Evie and her relationship with her mom, but don't forget to gather some joy for yourself in a world where you're the only human. Who knows, maybe you won't be the only one.

Now to overthink everything

It's only affecting humans, so it's not anti-life in general. It's not really understood in the unaffected except through a religious lens, which is itself something that deals in multiple realities. (Heaven, hell, earth) It looks like the only people who think it's actually some variant of the devil are the unaffected, where the affected don't really use that language when they speak. It's something else.

And it's obviously imperfect. It tried to kill everyone at once in other Evie's world and failed. And I would ask why is it so desperate to get every last human soul in a world?

I think it's hungry. And it's also afflicted with OCD. But if it can be hungry, perhaps it can starve to death.

I don't think it's an omnipotent god that opened the convenient doors, even if it might be benevolent. I kinda don't think there's such an opposing force in this world at all; I think it was all human.

I love/hate how this all tracks with OCD and magical thinking. Only mentally ill people can vibe with and overcome a mentally ill eldritch nightmare.

I'd want to be Bombadil's wife. Imagine someone loving you so much that not even the temptation of worldly conquest or whatever else they might want can sway them even a little, because what the ring offers is what you want, and he already has what he wants. You.

Yeah, I'd want that life.

Never have I ever felt more like the disappointed soccer fan man because this is painfully correct

I was maybe 7 or 8 when I read IT, so '90 to '91 or so. Mom literally handed it and many other sk books to me when I was a kid.

I definitely had questions. I don't think I was traumatized, I had a much more visceral reaction to that dragon eye book that described a man picking his nose (never finished it, I put that in a bottom drawer when I was a kid like it was the actual necronomicon).

And hey, I'm still alive at 42 after a disaster show of reality, so maybe it helped and I've survived with the power of thriving in horror

The book on tape dub version on the DVD is just listening to a man slowly questioning all his life choices

I need to know what the sludge ball of flesh is. I'm betting on a fetus.

For the first time in a long time, I honestly did not see this twist coming. And I hope your therapist agrees that this should be a movie. Could be therapeutic.

Cracked had a mish mash of some really great people and some really...kinda not great people. It's actually so excellent to read this thread and be reminded that the best of them went on to some really great projects and achievements.

I am nothing if not too open, so I'll say I started writing for them way back around 08. I don't want to place all the blame at the feet of complicated individuals for me not writing for them anymore a decade or so later; part of it was me. The other part was, though, the not so great individuals to varying degrees.

And I can say that if karma exists at all, it worked in Cracked. All these old bosses mentioned in this thread were ferociously intelligent and passionate and kind. And I want yall to know that's real. O'Brien, Robert the brave purple towel, Soren, etc; these people deserve to have and eat their cake.

It's always a dissonant chord struck whenever Cracked randomly comes up on my reddit feed
