I love it when people use "shrimp" to mean "beyond the human range". like "shrimp colors" but applied to other things. "shrimp emotions" "shrimp sounds" "shrimp morality", as if shrimp are living some kind of transcendent existence that humans can never comprehend

When this post popped up again LINK I realized I haven’t been keeping up with crazy conspiracy theories so I looked into what they’re saying about Death Standing and oh boy oh boy.
I can’t go into every little thing but Sam is seen as a stand-in for the death angel Samael, his wife was named Lucy which is often used as code for Lucifer, babies are “sacrificed” as soon as they’re born from their pods (nevermind that Sam saves his baby Lou from the fire) and Higgs who is named after the God Particle is the villain so players are fighting God who is nothing but a puppet who thinks himself more powerful than he really is. He also constantly makes himself look like a cross or Jesus on the cross.
Tumblr media
And Kojima couldn’t help himself and snug some occult imagery into the game (I don’t think the Monster Energy product placement was part of it but the conspiracy theorists made it work) Like, why does the star have “eyes” in the same place as the star of baphomet, Kojima?
I’m now convinced Kojima is playing into it on purpose like Del Toro and Refn who also put a lot of occult symbols and messages in their works. Unlike celebrities like Beyoncé who hates the Illuminati nonsense these guys are horror and pop culture nerds who have a lot of fun with it. Especially this photo convinced me he knows exactly what he’s doing. Nice Freemason t-shirt you got there.
Tumblr media
Looking further into it I now have a better understanding of the roles they’re believed to have in Illuminati and why Kojima is apparently so important.
Tumblr media
Guillermo del Toro is either a witch or a warlock who has the ability to summon monsters and demons and he spread their influence by having their likeness in his movies. If you know them they know you and all that.
Tumblr media
His movies supposedly also work as spells that open portals into people’s homes. Not gonna lie, his powers sound sick as fuck!
Tumblr media
Refn is responsible for human sacrifices in some way, either as overseer or organizer or something, because a lot of his movies have human sacrifices in them. He has also talked about having erotic fantasizes about being mutilated, killed and cannibalized himself (never forget what a huge freak he is) as well as feeling “submissive pleasure” by having Kojima kill him over and over in his game which is interpreted by conspiracy theorists as him having a desire do be sacrificed to Mads Mikkelsen Satan himself. If Illuminati consider satanic human sacrifices a good thing it stands to reason that Refn would want to experience it himself, yes?
Tumblr media
So why is Kojima so important to the Illuminati? Well, Asia is believed to have their own evil secret society that’s in constant battle for world dominance with Illuminati. People use different names for it and I don’t know the cultural importance of any of them so I’ll just let it go unnamed here.
Del Toro wowed Kojima with his powers by showing him the creatures behind the veil and got him to leave Asian Illuminati which made him an extremely valuable member with a lot of inside knowledge into their mortal enemies (and it didn’t hurt that he has a strong hold on gamers). Hence why he was gifted a high ranking member like Refn who works closely with one of Satan’s vessels, Mads Mikkelsen.
Tumblr media
Apparently that’s one of the hot and steamy things you do with your Illuminati mandated sub; make him send actors and actresses to you. We know from interviews Kojima told Refn he wanted a cool actor for the role of Cliff and Refn said he could get him either Keanu Reeves or Mads Mikkelsen and it seems Kojima pulled Refn’s strings again to get Elle Fanning (who was killed and cannibalized by witches in Refn’s movie The Neon Demon) for Death Stranding 2.
Tumblr media
So that’s why Mads Mikkelsen is depicted as the coolest, hottest and scariest man to have ever walked the afterlife, and why Deadman who is based on Del Toro help Sam see the truth and leave Bridges and Heartman who is based on Refn is literally right about everything (the only thing he isn’t sure about it wether humans have separate afterlives)
It’s very funny to me that no one seems to be able to connect Norman Reedus to anything satanic or Illuminati besides a vague “He’s in this so he must be involved somehow” Best of luck to Luca Marinelli in DS2. Maybe the Illuminati has a spot for you.
Side tangent, I could talk forever about Kojima wanting the characters to move like the people they’re based so Deadman takes up a lot of space with his movements and constantly gets in Sam’s personal space until Sam learns he has nothing to fear from him like Del Toro apparently did to Kojima, while Heartman is awkward and tries to touch his male friends all the time (but unlike Deadman he respects a no) but like Refn he has an insane respect for women’s comfort and boundaries so even when Fragile faints he helps support her at a respectable arms length and leaves the more physical touching to another woman.
Tumblr media
Anyway, I think the conspiracy theorists came up with some pretty good horror characters here. Love Mads Mikkelsen as Satan’s part time vessel. I’d personally have Kojima kill Refn over and over for real and not just in a video game and have Del Toro use black magic to bring him back. And maybe we can give Norman Reedus a backstory about selling his soul just so he has more to do? And does Troy Baker even know he’s made the avatar of god, the most hated figure in Illuminati, or will he realize that when he’s strapped to a sacrificial altar in front of Mads Mikkelsen? But what do I know about conspiracies. It’s okay, I’m sure we can workshop it and make George Miller fit in there somewhere once Death Stranding 2 is released.

My body in summer: it has always been hot. I have always been sweaty and wheezing and itchy. I must spread out so no part of me touches any other part and wait for the cool.
My body in winter: it has always been cold. I have always been shivering and clammy. I must curl up in my bed under a blanket and wait for the warm.

Having friends who haven’t listened to Hello from the Hallowoods is difficult because how do you explain to someone who hasn’t experienced the podcast that the cuntiest trio is a sentient vintage car, an autistic therian who uses neopronouns, and a vampire who got kicked out of his own bicycle gang and used to be a cowboy

My tiniest beef with WotC: Silvanus always looks like it's spelled wrong. It's clearly a play on the word "sylvan" but I guess that would be too on the nose so they changed a single letter. Really guys? Who do you think you're fooling?

Druids when I take the idol of Silvanus
- before dealing with Kagha: THAT'S IT, EVERYBODY DIES!
- after dealing with Kagha: Hey, that doesn't belong to you, put it back!
- after dealing with the goblins: Whatever, take the stupid thing. More trouble than it's worth anyway.

"This fic is literally just porn, why do you care about the quality of the editing" unfortunately, both my brain and my dick have strong opinions about verb tenses.

You have to develop mechanisms for coexisting with people who are different from you no matter what. "Segregate the world until I only have to interact with people who are Just Like Me" is not workable. "Suppress the expression of difference so that everyone has to pretend they are Just Like Me" is sometimes workable, but this website is generally full of the kind of weirdos unlikely to benefit personally from such an arrangement.
The only possible answer is to develop mechanisms by which people can coexist.
And if you already have the mechanisms within your bubble, it is pretty sensible to say "hey, we could try to coexist with those people outside the current bubble too, using mechanisms such as these". This is good. It's always rocky, there's always a negotiation and adjustment process, but in general it's beneficial for all the same reasons that learning to coexist with the people already in your bubble was beneficial. That was also rocky, and also took an adjustment process, before they were part of your bubble.
You can't conquer the world and remake it in your image. Not "you shouldn't", you can't. You also shouldn't, but you can't. You have to bite the bullet and realize that a world in your image will not exist, but maybe you and the other guy can figure out a world you can both be ok with.
