Welcome to /c/tumblr, a place for all your tumblr screenshots and news.

Our Rules:

  1. Keep it civil. We're all people here. Be respectful to one another.

  2. No sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia or any other flavor of bigotry. I should not need to explain this one.

  3. Must be tumblr related. This one is kind of a given.

  4. Try not to repost anything posted within the past month. Beyond that, go for it. Not everyone is on every site all the time.

  5. No unnecessary negativity. Just because you don't like a thing doesn't mean that you need to spend the entire comment section complaining about said thing. Just downvote and move on.

I accidentally wrote a story that was similar:

A man lives alone in his apartment. He needs to return to the office for the first time in months. He arrives at the office, and quickly develops excruciating back pain. A few days pass, and he finds himself unable to work. He also starts finding strange bite marks on his neck and back.

He calls out for a few days, but eventually, he has to go back. He arrives at work and sits in his chair. He quickly feels his back pain return, but also strange movements from his chair. He stands and screams, tossing the chair. The office staff are in shock. He then uses a pen knife to cut open the back of his chair. As he does, there are multiple screams, as a large, spine-like centipede emerges from the chair.

I even did the rough draft for the comic, but never finished. Damn I need to.

I mean that's el almohadón de plumas but with extra steps

I'd never heard of them, but I'm definitely checking them out. That's "The Feather Pillow", in english right, by Horacio Quiroga?

That chair was made for me!

Is it the same artist? It has to be, right? There can't be two people capable of thinking up such horrors.

Nope! Not again.

But see, that’s much creepier than some impossible, unknowable horror… it’s something disturbing that conceivably could happen.

It's a dude in a chair. To me that's just silly

How the fuck do you eat from a can like that?

[–] havokdj@lemmy.world 10 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Or even breathe to be honest

Didn't Impractical Jokers do this as a punishment once?

[–] jacaw@sh.itjust.works 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is a fantastic comment to put under any horror story

[–] darcy@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 years ago

[–] ocean@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

I know there was a try guys video with something like this a couple years back, sans murder

The human chair was adapted from a story by author Edogawa Ranpo though.

[–] udon@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

My favorite adoption of the trope is in this masterpiece

He was trying to hide and eating canned fish?

[–] postmateDumbass@lemmy.world 9 points 2 years ago

So was that really a broken spring?

Iain M Banks has entered the chat

There's definitely some weird shit in his books.

[–] graymess@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Got my attention. I've read 1.5 Banks novels in the Culture series and so far nothing living in chairs.

[–] Justas@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 years ago

Living? No. Chair? Yes.

[–] d3m0nr4v3r@feddit.de 3 points 2 years ago

Don't really get the reference but upvoting Ian M. Banks regardless.

[–] Kolanaki@yiffit.net 4 points 2 years ago

"The call is coming from inside the chair!"

“I’m living in your walls!” so? I’m living in your chair
