In Which Diversity Isn’t a Myth

clementive:

Ok. I’m tired of the typical vampire, werewolf and fairy.I’m also tired of the occidental-centrism in mythology. Hence, this list. 

I tried to include as many cultural variants as I could find and think of. (Unfortunately, I was restricted by language. Some Russian creatures looked very interesting but I don’t speak Russian…) Please, add creatures from your culture when reblogguing (if not already present). It took me a while to gather all those sites but I know it could be more expansive. I intend on periodically editing this list. 

Of note: I did not include specific legendary creatures (Merlin, Pegasus, ect), gods/goddesses/deities and heroes.

The Strangest Security Tape I’ve Ever Seen
I’ve come to terms with the fact that everything I know is a dream.
Gurgles and Bugman [WARNING: DO NOT BE A DUMBASS LIKE ME AND GOOGLE IMAGE THIS PLEASE I BEG YOU DON’T]
Reality is Creepier than Fiction

MANGA:

The Enigma of Amigara Fault
“Many man shaped holes suddenly appear on the sides of a mountain, which causes thousands of people from all over the world to gather.”

If you’re after more lengthy material, check out:

1000Vultures’s Penpal series
6 short stories that were originally published on the /nosleep subreddit. Warning: sleeping won’t work if you read all six in a row.

Yume Nikki - [download here]
Possibly one of the most underrated interesting things out there, this is a real gem you should all check out. This thing has a really unique atmosphere and has spawned a bunch of fangames. It’s a bit like - just click the link and read.

If you find the whole thing too much of a task to play, watch the YouTube Let’s Play right here instead.
Quite disturbing/gory? [do pixels count or what] 

and that’s all I have for now

Song of the day!

Comatose
01011001 (2008)
Ayreon

“ No need to feel the pain
No need to feel betrayed
No need to feel inane
No need to feel afraid

Wake me up before I die, hold me close
As I gaze upon to the sky, comatose
No reason to survive, I suppose
Wake us up before we die

No need to feel desire
(But I need you with me)
No need to feel so small
(But I need to feel secure)

No need to feel the fire
(But I need to feel free)
No need to feel at all
(But I need to know for sure)

Wake me up before I die, hold me close
As I gaze upon the sky, comatose
No reason to survive, I suppose
Wake us up before we die “
