Many classic horror icons and other disturbing creatures share common characteristics. Pale skin, dark, sunken eyes, elongated faces, sharp teeth, and the like. These images inspire horror and revulsion in many, and with good reason. The characteristics shared by these faces are imprinted in the human mind.

Many things frighten humans instinctively. The fear is natural, and does not need to be reinforced in order to terrify. The fears are species-wide, stemming from dark times in the past when lightning could mean the burning of your tree home, predators could be hiding in the dark, heights could make poor footing lethal, and a spider or snake bite could mean certain death.

The question you have to ask yourself is this:

What happened, deep in the hidden eras before history began, that could effect the entire human race so evenly as to give the entire species a deep, instinctual, and lasting fear of pale beings with dark, sunken eyes, razor sharp teeth, and elongated faces?

… Just be careful out there.

This is one of the coolest things I have ever read on tumblr.

Well shit. This has got to b inebof the most interesting and mind blowing things I’ve read. Like wow. Ik I’ve posted this before but everytime I read it im just still shocked that people haven’t come to this conclusion before. It’s rather creepy lol

 

let’s be honest. we are frightening. after thousands of years we haven’t evolved. we only grow more brutal, more predatory. i don’t see the danger in treating humans as equals. the fellowship of the sun arose because we never did so. i could have killed every last one of them within minutes. and what would that have proven?

I saw you fell asleep, while you were reading
The pages on your face, you had been weeping
Then I saw, what it was, that I had done.
