It's in my Gmail inbox as a reminder for future Aaron, where future Aaron has stopped being preoccupied with OXYGEN NOT INCLUDED and has possibly finished BALDUR'S GATE 3 and can therefore invest in a new game : )

Ohhh, no… but not as bad, https://bigthink.com/life/why-black-widows-bite-men-penis/

And as far as HP, Lovecraft, you might as well start with The Call of Cthulhu.

Enjoy 😬

I will never again feel safe using an outdoor toilet (jk it was always harrowing, but this article does not help!).

I love Junji Ito! I've only read a few of his stories, but I always flip through his collections when I see them just to appreciate the horrifying art. I didn't know about the Adult Swim series -- that looks amazing. Can't wait haha

Yes, I love his art so much!!! It's such a unique expression of body horror. I love that guy he draws with the, like, half-moon profile. Why is it so spooky? I'm not exactly sure. Maybe just that he looks inhuman in a subtle, strange way (other than the teeth, which are obviously scary).

Haha, this is really interesting because when I was reading Junji Ito's Wikipedia it is referenced that one of his earlier reasons for writing horror is that:

"In the house where he [grew up], the bathroom was at the end of an underground tunnel, where there were spider crickets; such experiences were later reflected in his works."

Can you imagine having to use an UNDERGROUND toilet as a kid? WITH SPIDERS?!

Oh my god.... I would just pee my pants instead, haha.

Wow, wonderful Post! I’ve never heard of here she comes him. Seriously twisted 😵‍💫🙀❤️

But as a teenager/young man growing up in New England, I got seriously into HP Lovecraft.
