      If I was more of a writer, a less fearful take on human insignificance in the same light as Lovecraft would be my first project.

          Yeah, I’d still go creepy (how can a universe that allows billion year old starlight not be, looked at viscerally?), but I’d try to do it in a way that makes you wonder if the human perspective is necessarily the right one. Lovecraft has a way of including all kinds of adjectives to make you know how you’re supposed to feel. He had (ahem) strong feelings about unfamiliar people and practices in real life, so it was kind of inevitable.

          Come to think of it, Parasyte had some of the same energy I’m picturing.

      I think he took a splinter out of her finger. Then he was told he was next at some sort of clinic.

    Thats all good and nice, but bro could easily use a noise shave.

    Still, hope he gets the harvest going.

      Super realistic though. Pretty much all of my friends who are women have dealt with at least a few doctors making weird ass "compliments" and other inappropriate comments. Literally just heard from a friend that her old podiatrist asked her for her cell phone number 😑 (and no, not for administrative purposes…)
