Lawd, I am crying! The knife fight! THE ESCAPE! 🤣🤣

But also, I'd kill for a G/t story with this kind of action. What fun!

Bootlegged gem from the archive.

Terry Wayne live at Cafe Kino, Bristol, 2018.

Terry tangles himself in the subject of popular culture. Lose yourself in Wayne’s witty commentary, only to find yourself more lost than when you started.

I read Fat Face by Michael Shea last month and it was. Fine? It was a Cthulhu Mythos story written in the 80s, it was very edgy and it had a lot of tropes I’m not a fan of, I don’t really recommend it, but I have to talk about one detail I have not stopped thinking about since I read it.

So. I knew Fat Face through reputation because it was the story that inspired Shoggoth Lords from the Call of Cthulhu TTRPG, shoggoths that can control their cellular makeup to look like humans. And the twist in Fat Face is that shoggoths have been hiding amongst humans in Los Angeles, and at the end of the story one of them eats the protagonist.

The tone of the story is grit. It’s grime. It’s sleaze and sexual violence and drug abuse on top of cosmic horror. It wants to be taken seriously so bad.

But here’s the thing about the shoggoths: they have a business.

They have two businesses they run out of an office building in downtown Los Angeles. A shoggoth is a primordial blob of eyes and mouths and flesh and hunger, and the idea of one of them at the LA Office of Finance registering an LLC is already. Great. Perfect. No notes.

The business is a front — and again, that’s great, a shoggoth went, “I want to do some nefarious deeds and not get caught by humans; I know, I’ll register a fake business that’ll be a front, and no human will ever suspect” — because the actual interior of this office is a room of pools of water made from black and ancient Antarctic rocks so that shoggoths can relax in their original blobby forms and eat stray animals that they’ve caught.

So it’s basically just. A place for shoggoths to unwind after a long day of pretending to be human. It’s portrayed as cosmic horror, but it’s shoggoth Cheers. Sometimes you wanna go where nobody knows your shape.

Here’s the kicker. The front of the business is a hydrotherapy clinic and stray pet rescue.

When they decided to make a front for their secret lair in an LA office building where they hang out in pools of water and eat stray animals — the front they prominently display and advertise — they decided to go with a hydrotherapy clinic and stray pet rescue.

That is Goosebumps shit. The rest of the story reads like a tone poem about the sleaze and violence of Los Angeles, and the main twist of the story reads like R.L. Stine.

But that’s not even the detail I can’t stop thinking about. Because the story reveals that this business — which again, is a front made by alien blobs to eat stray animals like an ALF-themed buffet and hang out in jacuzzi tubs of Antarctic rocks in an LA office — has a flyer.

Which means there’s a shoggoth with a passion for graphic design

#lovecraft #shoggoth #horror #and this isn’t me demanding realism in my cthulhu mythos #but i think it proves that at a certain point grim and gritty storytelling becomes absurdist comedy #the rest of the story is a gritty crime drama about being a sex worker who breasts boobily under the pitiless california sun #and the twist which is supposed to be cosmic horror elevates it into zany cartoonishness

me when dr who has some stupid and weird as shit bit

#i actually liked the goblin musical number sorry #i liked it because it was like absurdist comedy. to me

[alicenpai]

My assumption is that you may like Revolutionary Girl Utena, or maybe you never saw it but have thought about watching it

i actually watched a bit of utena & drew these pieces below! but this was way back in 2016 and i didn't finish the series (like almost everything i watch haha hence why i prefer reading)

it takes a lot of mental energy and effort for me to start a new series (i'm not a binger and i'm very selective of my media), and with how dreamy and abstract utena can be, i really gotta be in the right mood to watch a series like that. it seems the stars just haven't aligned for me to continue it. maybe one day i'll go back...

#ask #anonymous #additionally speaking of utena and other works by the director. i also really enjoyed mawaru penguindrum growing up #actually the first fandom i got into on tumblr was probably mawaru penguindrum #send me more assumptions if yall like.. im very curious what my brand is . if i even have one #it is so so hard to get into like.. um. abstract? psychological stuff for me though? i dont know if i can classify these under an umbrella #sarazanmai is a little more absurdist comedy but when my roommate showed me it i was like . jaw on floor but not in a good way. sorry #my art
