  • God women these days am I right!? Then they have the audacity to ask me my mother’s maiden name and last 4 digits of my social security number.

    Worst is after I give it all to them, they completely ignore the rest of the conversation. Their eyes roll back into their head and start to flitter rapidly. Than their mouths just drop wide open and starts emitting high frequency pitches and tones. Next thing I’m getting texts about unauthorized access to my bank accounts, gosh what an ordeal! I never get to pull out the scale in my pocket to judge their bodies like a slab of meat at the deli.

    So rude, am I right fellas?





  • Oh I was saying that people view the art created by the artist to be the artist. Like they are capable of living the lives they portray.

    Like I came across a comic series where H.P. was the protagonist and it made him out to be some edgy defender against the occult horrors he wrote about. Think I’ve seen something similar with Poe, maybe a movie? I hate that so much.

    Don’t insert those guys into those scenarios, they both would probably shit their pants and die immediately if they encountered what they wrote.


  • Most writers or artists of any kind are not as cool as you want them to be. H.P. was essentially a nerdy upper class dandy. He was horribly sheltered and coddled all his life by his mom and her sisters. He’d probably faint if he had to go out in the rain without an umbrella.

    I enjoyed his writing but you have to separate the art from the artist. Just like not all action heros are badasses, they just look like that on film.
