      I guess I just don’t get the scariness of it. It’s a little weird but “person feels compelled to enter hole, comes out wrong on the other side” just… idk wasn’t that scary to me?

        The body horror aspect is obvious, but the psychological horror is completely up to the reader. Some might find a particular relation to the whole ‘endless hole that I know I shouldn’t fall into, but I just can’t help it’ aspect, others feel triggered by the whole ‘fear of the unknown’ aspect, yet others can draw comparisons between this and self-destructive behavior of some kind.

        And others, like you, might not feel anything at all.

    Is this a new Saddam hole meme? I’ve never seen this one and it’s glorious.

      Nah, I dragged this one from old NCD, like most of the stuff collecting dust on my hard drive.
