Things That Become Creepy When You Think About Them

[xPixelatedx]

I couldn't come up with a way to phrase this so I'll throw mine out there and hope that you guys can get what I mean.

The romance from The Lion King 2. Simply put both parties go back to Scar somehow. Simba's daughter goes back to Scar by way of dad and the guy in the relationship is apparently Scar's son so you see where things get wierd. And given that Disney films are for the family it seems odd to think they thought noone would notice this. I guess that they were counting on moms and dads to not explain this to thier kids but kids who were paying attention would notice it. Hell when I was a kid I didn't think of it untill another kid mentioned it on the bus home that it hit me. Oh well, best to let it die.

Speaking of TLK, you know whats even more creepier then that? Being able to talk with your food. On top of that, I find it hard to believe all those animals would willingly bow before the birth of Simba when in all likelihood that's just another lion they will have to stomp to death once it approaches their family. Also, if Lions can live off bugs, why in the hell are the rest eating the other poor animals alive? That is totally not ******* cool!! Just pretty much EVERYTHING about TLK gets creepier and creepier the more you think about the mechanics of that world.

You know what? Santa. Santa Claus (or Father Christmas depending on where you live.) When you think about it, the idea of a fat middle-aged man climbing down chimneys at midnight to give 'presents' to little kids when they're deeply asleep sounds incredibly disturbing...

 

[snappydog]

In the first Lion King, after Mufasa dies, Scar is left with his body in the gorge and sends Shenzi, Banzai and Ed after Simba, who's running away.
They don't catch Simba.
They come back.
What happens to Mufasa's body?

In terms of Movies, I always found the ending of Being John Malkovich as pretty fucking horrifying...

Spoiler

So near the end of the movie, John Cusacks character goes through the portal too late, and lands in the next vessel, where he can exercise no control. So he's stuck watching out of her eyes. All the more horrific in that she will eventually become the vessel for the possessed Malkovich, and will then move into the next vessel after her. Which means John will be stuck there, forced to watch without control, FOREVER!!!

Also, the ending to Toy Story 3

Spoiler

So toys are supposedly immortal, right? Barring being destroyed or some such. And yet here we have whatshisface being strapped to the front of that truck, again, unable to move or do anything, slowly being degraded. Its kind of equivolent to hell, if you think about it. In a fucking kids movie.

In real life though, the only thing that gets me (and really gets me - like, I can sometimes have panic attacks about it) is that there will come a point in time when I will cease to exist, for the rest of eternity. Existing is basically all I do!

EDIT: Fixed the spoiler tags. Apologies if I, uh, spoiled anything....

WARNING: The following video may prevent you from sleeping tonight. Or ever again.

No questions. Just skip to about 3:24. Or watch the whole thing, it's pretty interesting stuff. My warning still stands, though.

Sweet mother of fuck.... I didn't actually believe you when you said I might not be able to sleep but I absolutely loath HATE spiders.

OT: Ask yourself, how do the people in the Pokemon universe get beef for their meals? What about their chicken? Their fish and chips? Hell, even some of the vegetables are self aware and intelligent enough to comprehend the language from their master.

And the reason I know it, is because I'm a WoD fan - Caine, as in the biblical one, was cursed by God for the murder of his brother and became the first vampire. He was also banished to Nod and later came back, there is even a fairly influential book in canon called "The book of Nod" which is a vampiric Bible of sorts.

Needless to say, it's based on the Bible but WoD doesn't really follow it that closely, so I don't take it as a infallible source on the thing.

And interesting bit of trivia for CnC there, I honestly never noticed the connection. Then again, I haven't actually played it as much (just a bit of Tiberian Sun and a tinier bit of Renegade), and certainly none of the campaign, but I did know enough about it to be able to spot the reference.

Man I love WoD.
My group is currently doing Werewolf and I love it.
We're doing Hunter soon aswell.

I'm actually about to start a game of Vampire: The Masquerade with some friends (our first RP) soon so this is a happy little coincidence to see this here. We're in the character creation stage at the moment so it's a little daunting trying to make really fleshed out characters like it encourages. It's a fun experience though that might last years so it's definitely worth it.

OT: I think creepy for me had to go when I found out about in the Japanese Super Mario Bros. instruction manual, it says that residents of the mushroom kingdom were turned into blocks So... are you killing Toads when you smash the blocks?

There fixed, you need both these [] and both spoiler words need to be lowercase.

If you have a mid-November birthday that means you were conceived 9 months ago, in mid-February. In fact probably around about February 14th.

Spoiler

I never thought of that..... and for good reasons too -_- *shudders*

 

[Dfskelleton]

The Wizard of Oz.
There are a multitude of examples of horrible things:
*The Tin Woodsman is rusted solid, but conscious for God knows how long before Dorothy and Scarecrow find him.
*The same goes for the Scarecrow; he was suspended on a post for an indefinite amount of time until Dorothy arrived.
*The way that the protagonists defend themselves throughout the book are a little bit gruesome {for a childrens book}. The Woodsman slaughters 40 wolves with his axe. When the Wicked Witch sends crows with the intention of pecking the heroes to death, Scarecrow grabs them one by one and snaps their necks.
*In the later half of the book, the Lion must fight a giant spider. Giant spiders... ughf.
*The Wicked Witch's death becomes more disturbing the more you think about it. Having her entire body melt, while still alive... sounds extraordinarily painful.

Then again, a lot of old fairly tales were really messed up (see: Rumplestiltskin's fate in the original story *shudders*)

Aerial dumping. Sounds gross, but imagine the freedom of shitting out a tower.

Also, in the Disneyverse, women don't excrete... full stop. In fact, I think any natural bodily functions other then breathing and the very rare instance of feeding, seem to be absent from Disney women.

To be fair, it seems rather pointless to add things like that in any movie.

 

[Eddie the head]

Well, in a sense, us. We pretty are the representation of Cthulu to all the animals out there. Wouldn't most of cosmic horror count here?

Not really. We all have a common ancestor, plus any animals that can process fear look like us for the most part. I mean things like Deer, Lizards and the like. We all have pretty much the same body parts. We might look Odd to them, but not cosmic horror odd.

 

[Saviordd1]

There are no bathrooms in any open world RPG's....


Speaking of open world RPG's, there are no children in the world, while you don't notice it much its when you do notice it that it gets creepy.

Your a small, very weak being. Your flesh is flabby, your bones are not that strong.

In the time your reading this message, heart could stop, you could cough up your lung, a bullet an idiot fired five miles away could crash into your head.

You live on a dot, not visible even from the nearest star, in a harsh, cold, uncaring universe, that could erase our tiny, insiginifcant planet, in a million different ways.

You WILL die.

And there is nothing, NOTHING, you can do it to stop it.

Come on, bro. Come up with something more original, eh?

OT: Gingerbread men. Who came up with this idea? Hmmm, let's make some cookies. Okay, now let's make them shaped like FUCKING PEOPLE. And pretty much everyone seems okay with this. Gahhhh.

but Kovu is not Scars son, that is made very clear, Nuka and Vitani are probably related to Scar, i suspect Scar 'chose' Kovu because he looks the most like Scar and with Kovu's age being close to Kiara's, Kovu would have been the best bet to infiltrate Simba's pride through Kiara (as is what happened) and because Kovu was raised bad from so young he would have been more impressionable at the start, more easily corrupted.

OP: The whole Adam and Eve thing is creepy to me, because wouldn't we all be inbred if we all came from the same two people?

 

[shrekfan246]

Pokecentre's.

I always saw the balls beeing put in to that Centre Healing thingy, like a tray of cupcakes beeing heated.
Then i'd go like: "wait there's Pokemon in them". *the mental images*

No thank you nurse Candycane, i'll heal them myself....

Really? That's it? Not the fact that Nurse Joy says "We hope to see you again soon!" right after handing back your freshly-healed-from-being-beaten-to-a-pulp Pokemon?

OT: There's a bathroom on the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 and 3. The creepier part? There's only one bathroom on the Normandy in Mass Effect 2 and 3. And it's in the Captain's Quarters.

humanity existence. the more you think of how we managed to survive the sicker it becomes.

...Okay, I'll bite. How is it disturbing?

The reason we survived is because we're so fucking good at killing everything else...Not seeing the fridge horror here...

 

[Sonntam]

Eating snow... Lot's of people do it but... Well...

Snow is formed from evaporated water...
Water comes from the sea...
Drains flush into the sea...
Drains flush out shit, piss and vomit as well as period blood, evidence and wank tissues....

If you have ever eaten snow or got it on your tongue, face, whatever you have been covered in what is essentially semen, blood, piss and hastily destroyed child pornography...

Just think about that for a minute...

That is true for normal water too, however.

Meh, not creeped out.

 

[JoesshittyOs]

Mrs.Doubtfire the movie.

If you think really long and hard about it, the whole scenario with a father obsessed with his kids dresses up as a woman to get close to them so that his wife won't take them away. It's just really creepy.

I'll leave this here for you.

Edit: Damn Ninja.
