The mental image in my head is asking a lady the time and she turns and looks at you, opens her mouth to speak and black smoke starts billowing out and she starts shooting sparks at you.

It's easy to think that if half your population were eldritch horrors civilization would have a bit of trouble.

    You just described the happy place I go to every time someone tells me to smile.

    I practice the most unsettling smile i can, and do it in really jerky movements. Wheeze while i do. Talk on both the inhale and exhale while it's maintained.

    Does that work? I've tried:

    • Pretending I'm hearing disabled(problematic, I know)
    • Telling them to eat shit and die
    • Speaking really fast and fiercely in a made up language
    • Keep asking "What was that?" until they stop trying

    By far the most successful was when walking home with a bag of meal worms(for my pet tarantula,) I dumped them on his lap and ran away.

    Sometimes if i nail the acting. Im pretty good at uncanny.

    I always want to kick them in the balls and then smile genuinely, but only ever did that once.

    You're my muse re:worms
