It’s been years since I’ve last known peace(about 5 minutes since I found out Ao3 is down), and each second life drags on, I yearn for my freedom(Found Family fics) to return. I gaze into the ever-moving abyss of the sea(Tumblr), hoping that it may one day lead me back to my beloved, and until that day comes, I will never feel the warmth of love(Comfort No Hurt) again.

Pressure deaths are either the most normal, regular occurrence, or cinematically-traumatizing, and there is no in-between.

One run, I sneezed and didn’t see the lights go off, and ended up cornered by an Angler. That is normal, that is okay and regular.

The very NEXT RUN, I end up swimming off into the darkness out of curiosity because I had no idea about the PDG rules yet, and then these bugs(parasites but I didn’t know they existed at the time) started crawling all over me, and I don’t like bugs so I was like WHAT ON EARTH-

I swim further into the darkness in a panic, never hearing the beeping slowly starting up. The parasites are screaming at me to take them back to the light, my screen is nearly entirely covered at this point and at the final moment I finally hear the beeping as the words “TAKE US BACK” pop up at the bottom of the screen before there’s just darkness-

THAT. IS NOT A NORMAL DEATH. THAT WAS A TRAGEDY- I had to take a walk outside and consider my life choices.

I feel like now that I finally completed Pressure I can give my humble opinion on it and the entities, boutta hit yall with a tier list!!

But first a few quick notes about the developers, VAs, and artists of the game-

1) I APPRECIATE YALL SO MUCH. ABSOLUTE MASTERPIECE YOU HAVE ALL CREATED AND CONTRIBUTED TO. I am just a random gal on the internet and my opinion doesn’t matter, but we have been BLESSED and everyone should be thanking every single individual who put love and effort into the game. @shandzii has made some FIRE art and we gotta appreciate that, her art of P.AI.nter has gotten me through times where I wanted to throw my laptop into the nearest ocean. Off topic but the badge art for this game is bloody spectacular, and I love seeing the badges Shands has designed because their art is so unique and you just immediately know they were behind it and it’s so pretty to see.

I also just want to send all the gingerbread men in the world to the person who designed Eyefestation, genuinely have never been so overjoyed to come into contact with a Great White actively trying to kill me<3

2) Whoever decided to throw Wall Dwellers in there is both the funniest person in the world but also the most evil- If I had a nickel for every time I’ve heard footsteps behind me and promptly lost an hour of my life I’d have enough to afford two minutes of therapy(but I also love the lil wall guys so much)

3) Whoever made the soundtrack immediately gets 1 million years of paradise because they COOKED. The final encounter of the game collectively had me anxious as hell and HYPED.

Okay but here is my humble tier list that in all honesty is 90% favoritism and 10% my reaction to the entity itself-

(Lucy is at the bottom because she stepped on me and scared me for the next 130 runs)

(The DIVINE is in C-Tier because I had no idea they were active until I stepped on the grass and one beat me to death, and while it was equally hilarious and terrifying I simply can’t let that level of disrespect go unnoticed/j)

(The Multi-Monster deserved S-tier so just pretend that it’s up there)

Okay so all of us absolutely want villains to win at some point but I feel like some villains don’t really want to win? Like after years of getting to know their nemesis, their ambitions, dreams, strengths, weaknesses, getting to know THEM as something outside of simply being an obstacle to conquer, you’re honestly telling me that when they finally successfully kill the hero, they won’t break down sobbing?

I love a good villain getting their long awaited victory, jumping for joy. But do you know what I love more? A villain visiting the heroes grave after the fact, in the dead of night, sobbing where no camera can see them. I like to think that sometimes, villains mourn the hero just as much as the heroes loved ones do.

There are more desks than there are students at our school, and the walls are filled with pictures containing blank spaces that just don’t make sense. One has the cheerleading team forming a pyramid, but it feels oddly empty. The basketball team has a group picture from the beginning of the season, but there are awkward spaces in-between some of the players, like they were making space for something, or someone. There are trophies mounted to the wall that are blank where the names are supposed to be, entire locker numbers that are skipped over, something we assumed the school intentionally did, a strange design choice.

In any other case I would assume that I’m losing it, maybe the workload is too much, maybe I need more sleep, anything to explain these gaps. But it’s happening to me too. In my room, there are these… photos I have posted to the wall, and they’re all of me, but it feels like they shouldn’t be.

A picture of me in a pool last summer splashing around.

A photo of that time I went hiking a few years back.

It feels normal, it seems fine.

But then there’s a picture of me on a swing, in motion as I look over my shoulder smiling… behind me?

It’s me, in front of a tree holding ice cream, with my arm dangling in mid air, as if it were around something.

My diary has random blank spots admit pages of entries, as if certain days never happened. There are random skips in sentences, black lines scribbling out entire passages.

Maybe I’m just losing it, but on the most recent page of my diary, dating a year ago, there’s one entry that was scribbled out, just like the others, but in the right lighting, I can almost make it out.

“I love you so much, _________. You are my _______ and I hope that we can have days like these for the rest of ______

Then there’s a sketch. A sunset that takes up most of the page, with two figures sitting in front of it.

It’s me.

And it’s… a black square covering whoever may have been there.

I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know what’s wrong, but I know that I’m not missing something here.

I’m missing someone.

I don’t understand people who say Wall Dwellers are annoying??? Do you not see horror in the fact that for it to have caught you, more often than not that means that it has been following you quietly for multiple rooms while you were none the wiser? It crawled out of the walls, started mimicking your steps, and has been following you. That’s literally nightmare fuel wdym

babe. I know we’re all going thru a lot rn but I just wanna give u the heads up that sesame streets future is in jeopardy. hbo has chosen not to renew it for new episodes (a series that has been going since 1969) and the residents of 123 Sesame Street no longer have a home :(

DCU is all sadness and action yet the moment Batman pulls up this turns into some horror REAL quick

I feel like I’m one of the few people who didn’t see this scene as shippy, but moreso tragic???? Like I love the thought of Gummigoo and Pomni, but we need to remember that Gummi was not only her first friend she managed to make, but the first one she lost in the circus, and she was the only one that cared, because, at the end of the day, she was the only one who actually knew him- This scene was TRAGIC, like yes haha funny Ragatha thought they were flirting but the fact that Pomni was so desperate and hopeful that he’d suddenly remember her and everything they went through, only to have to come to terms with the fact that their time together would have to live on through her memory, just AAAAAA GOOSE WHY

Now I’m not autistic(I think, maybe) but it has been 7 months since I dropped all interests outside of DC and I’m only just now recovering. And by that I mean now it’s DC and Pressure.

love how when i get a new interest, i’m like “oh god it’s happening again” and i’m stuck like that for about a week until everything explodes and any interest i’ve had prior is completely dwarfed for an unknown amount of time

I saw this thread and went to go check the OP’s file to make sure they were still alive and was temporarily genuinely devastated when I saw that their last post was 2 years ago before I realized it was a pinned post and that they had, in fact, posted 2 days ago.

My HEART I never had the experience of almost crying than a miscommunication being cleared up within the span of two seconds

scary things happening in weather world rn

WHO WAS GONNA TELL ME SPOTIFY WRAPPED DROPPED????

“I don’t care. Be it by the will of the people or that of the Gods, I was never meant to walk amongst them. I will never regret what I did, for I know that if not for the confession of I, someone innocent would have taken the fall for transgressions not of their own doing.”

“But it wasn’t you. You didn’t do this, I know of your innocence.”

“What does it matter of what I may or may not have done? By the will of the lords, if it had not been me, it would’ve been him, and I refuse to live in a world as unjust as that. If someone must fall, let it be me.”

“I refuse to let you die for what you haven’t done.”

“And yet you’ll let him die simply based on the word of a traitorous jury?”

“You don’t understand. I can’t let you-“

“You can and you will. Please, understand this. I have lived such a conflicting life filled with joy and sorrow, joy in the times I spent with you and our peers, and sorrow in the years I spent living within the shadows of judgement surrounding my character. Whether it be of my will or not, I am the person chosen by many to be the villain in their stories. So what difference would it make now to play into that role, to be what they have expected of me?”

“I refuse to simply allow you to die for that of which you have not done!”

“That isn’t for you to decide! Understand that within the deepest droughts of my very being, that I fear not of what is to come. If nowhere else, my honor is assured within my heart, I have fought well and if it is of the will of the lords to sentence me to damnation in the place of my peer, then so be it.”

“Please.”

“I’m sorry, but my stance and will remain steady. By dawn of the next day, I will exist no longer, and all I ask of you is to not let me be mourned as a hero, but to be damned as the villain. Please, it is my final request of thou.”

“I’m sorry. Im so, so sorry it had to end like this. I will allow your will to remain, I will respect it. But please know that, although no one else outside of this room will never know, you are a hero. You will die a hero.”

“If death is what it takes to finally be a hero, then it is a price that I am willing to pay. Farewell.”

“Farewell. I hope that death treats you far kinder than life ever had.”

Pressure Update: Ran into the Pandemonium while I was half asleep trying to make it to Door 50 so I could buy Sebastian’s file. Did not realize it was the Pandemonium, prepared for the Angler, was very wrong. Only one being walked out of that encounter, and it was not the one with two eyes.

[mushaspoooks]

After 5 days of trying I finally made it to Door 77 in Pressure, beat the Searchlights, and made it into the trenches, only to get stepped on by a bot named Lucy.

I’m stuck between giggling manically and screaming until my voice gives out. 10/10 game love it
