ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 05/09/2025Why are PT Anderson and Darren Aronofsky worshipping Tarantino with their newest films? Did they discuss doing this? Are they all into feet? They in a feet gang? Weird choices. 010
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 02/07/2025Perception in reverse, Lies paraded as truth, The media we digest constantly has gone sour. Who are we supposed to think are the real enemy? The ones being slaughtered incessantly, every day, in lines for food, starving to death are who you want me to hate? We will never believe you ever again. 010
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 30/06/2025How is the condemnation of a tyrannical military force conflated with the hatred of a religion?! It doesn't make any fucking sense! 010
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 30/06/2025Dreams of a better future as the looming terror of genocide denial permeates completely. A test? One that we will surely fail and then break, as a whole, into the parts. To be human is to want humanity to continue. To be demon is to want humanity to end. When will this test end? 000
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 05/06/2025When I was 9 years old my family took a trip to Del Rio Texas, on border of Texas and Mexico, to visit my aunt, uncle and cousins. They lived on the US Air Force base there. My uncle was a career military man. 100
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 24/05/2025Death looms over everything we do while alive. Being alive is a better thing to focus on. It can conquer all efforts of grief and violence to keep us morbid. Grief has put a seed of doubt into me where I obsess over the thought of non existence. 100
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 17/05/2025Existing in between particles. Consciousness projected into a micro reality. We discover new states of matter. Where everything is connected into one infinite mass. Where time and space are malleable. All information is accessed here. The secrets of reality have been unveiled. 000

The result is below. I would really appreciate anyone who felt like doing this but no pressure at all, ofc. (yes, this is my big year three promo push) 910944
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 01/04/2025God Emperor of Dune was pretty good. Probably my favorite of the four Dune books I've read. Probably the only four I'll read. There were a surprising amount of dick jokes. They all felt very necessary. While reading, you are wondering, how does he pee? And does he have junk? Herbert knew. 020
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 27/03/2025As a child, after learning about the outer space, I would imagine, obsess over the size of the universe. It was troubling. I needed to know what was on the other side of everything. No one could give an answer. Contemporary science unveiling more and more explanations is most welcoming. 010

ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 26/02/2025GWB Jr came into my work. Lots of security detail with earpieces. W just strolling around in a t shirt and shorts, being sweaty. He walks towards me and I'm staring, it was surreal. I asked him, "Hot enough for ya?" "Better than bein cold," he responded. He loves the hellscape he helped create. 110
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 16/02/2025Valentine's Day was the worst ever this year. Had to deal with a locksmith that had all the markings of a classic serial killer. Talked too much. Kept my wife and I hostage with his stories of self-aggrandizement for over 30 minutes. Very vampiric. I kept trying to think of how to get out of it. 100
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 14/02/2025I think we have mostly lumped David Cronenberg into a passive category and haven't considered this enough. BODY HORROR MAN. Watched Maps to the Stars, Crimes of the Future, Naked Lunch, all recently. He's one of the all time greats. Really looking forward to his new one coming out soon. 010
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 04/02/2025Crimes of the Future is a film the I enjoyed a lot. Was sleeping on it. Not sure why. Cronenberg is still doing great work. Impressive. 000

ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 01/02/2025Crash by Ballard is the horniest novel I've ever read and might ever read. Within that extreme horniness might lie the secrets of the universe. Some sort of dark magic went into its construction. 040

ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 21/01/2025Absolution by Jeff Vandermeer could be my favorite of all the Southern Reach books. Almost done with it. I love how freaked out and freaky it is. Tripped out factors are at 100%. Very frightening in unconventional ways. Old Jim is a great character. Nature as the antagonist and the redeemer. 000
Reposted by ATOPRico Charges @nochorus.bsky.social · 16/01/2025Almost odd trying to frame the mourning of a phenomenal artist whose work was partially distinguished by mastery of brutal fear, unlike and above anyone else in moving images. Only one facet of his work, of course, but he had total command of the destabilising, chemical experience of witnessing evil 1414
Reposted by ATOPRico Charges @nochorus.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I know there were lots of shorts after but that last episode of The Return is surely one of the hardest final major works ever. It's incredible the whole season exists ofc but that hour is recapper proof, youtuber fantheory proof, merch proof, nostalgia proof. I think about it all the time. 16715
ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 16/01/2025I saw The Elephant Man as a child and it terrified me. I couldn't stop rewatching it. Everytime it came on. It mesmerized me. It taught me to be a human. To not be cruel. To not judge people by outer stuff. Only the inner stuff. 420

ATOP @theorphicpriest.bsky.social · 14/01/2025Reading Jeff Vandermeer's Absolution for the first time and like the other Southern Reach novels, it is a seemingly normal story where everything is like the plot of a dream. Deceptively comprehensible. 000
