Basically what I’m saying is “thing that moves like a distorted gif, but in meatspace” works much better than “thing with tons of tentacles” as a visual representation of cosmic horror, IMHO.

Nowadays, sure, but human depictions of cosmic ineffability are always informed by time and place. In the early days of deep-sea exploration, “thing with tons of tentacles” was the very pinnacle of “holy shit what is that”; it’s just that the symbol has aged in a way that the substance has not.

@karategirl80 this made me think of you, and is interesting.

u know what makes me lowkey sad? when someone says ‘i know it seems silly’ before talking about something they clearly care very deeply about bc u know that means someone gave them shit for caring that much about that thing before which is Fucked Up.

or when they’re like “i know i talk too much, just tell me to shut up when u get tired” n they say it as a joke but u can see that they’re uncomfortable, n i get so sad n i wanna fight whoever made them feel like they’re not worth of being heard.

*sobs* I ish this person. 😦

fuck personality types u wanna know a lot about a person? present them w a plate of brownies and see if they take a corner, side, or middle piece

tag this with the type of brownie piece you would take

This post claims this metric can tell you a lot but doesn’t offer any insight on decoding people’s choices so allow me to take a crack at it:

Corner piece: Bitter and tired but cute, likes to curl up in a blanket burrito and marathon weird documentaries and true crime at three in the morning because executive dysfunction won the fight against going to bed on time for the morning shift, probably a top. Honestly very sweet under layers of cynicism.

Side piece: Has kinks weird enough it bears mentioning as like a personality feature, gets excited to solve a math problem, may be verse, knows weird shit about animals and/or bugs in particular and will tell you when you didn’t ask, tries to swim like a mermaid in the public pool. Verse.

Middle piece: First off, a b o t t o m, spoiled rotten, either has way too much energy or is depressed with no middle gears, externally much more chipper than the Corner Piece people but inside absolute chaotic evil. Never to be trusted with anything.

Bonus options

No preference: Pure chaos, no impulse control, has at least 3 hyperfixations and is dying to infodump, has lots of people they talk to but not sure if friends??? Piles 60 tasks their plate and accomplishes 0 by the deadline. Also a bottom.

More concerned with eating brownies in systematic order: So fucking tired of everything, trying to make sense of a chaotic world, steps over cracks and gaps in sidewalks, gives so much side-eye their face got stuck that way. Verse.
