• 11:22
  Speaker 2: cool creature in that one, like not me looking over here, like,

  Speaker 2: finding was the at the Mountains of Madness and that
• 13:25
  Speaker 2: was the one story I really wanted to read by Lovecraft,
• 13:27

• 13:57
  Speaker 1: You're not alone. Of course, I also have manga adaptations
• 14:00

• 14:12
  Speaker 1: It all I mean, anyway, a whore for lovecraft, a
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: horror for the cosmic horror.
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: You were reading. You started off by reading cosmic or
• 14:25
  Speaker 3: now you're just a cosmic.
• 14:26
  Speaker 1: Or period period.
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: Or however that jingle goes. But anyway, so now.
• 14:36
  Speaker 2: You could yeah, anyway, So going back to the story
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: hands today we are going to be reviewing Incarnates by
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: Richard Thomas.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Get zoom, get it close up with that. Look at
• 14:53
  Speaker 3: that the cover is what sold it for me.
• 14:57
  Speaker 1: It's like a spider abomination.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Yes, So just to give you guys a little background
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: about this story, it follows a this is the story
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: takes It's like an Arctic horror. So it takes place,
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: and I believe it takes place some place in like
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: rural Alaska or some parts of Canada, like northern Canada.
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: So it's gonna be set in like a very in
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: a frozen like small village on I believe it's on
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: an in reservation. And it follows the main character, Sebastian
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: Pana and Sebastian is what you would call a sin eater.
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: So a sin eater is.
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: Kind of like a something similar to like an exorcist
• 15:45
  Speaker 2: or like a witch doctor or some kind or like
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: some sort of site of some sort of medium that
• 15:51
  Speaker 2: basically works to cleanse, like help cleanse and exercise demons.
• 15:57
  Speaker 2: But his specific role isn't just like like expelling evil
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: spirits from the world. His primary first purpose is to
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: help absolve people of their sins, and he does that
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: by quite literally eating their sins.
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: So Sebastian being a sin.
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: Eater is able to what basically his role in his
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: community is to consume, is to absolve people their sins
• 16:24
  Speaker 2: when they die, all right, So when a person dies,
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: right then they're into it, belief like their spirits are
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: still like still linger for some time, right, And in
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: some cases they can either get trapped here because they're
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: weighed down by their regrets, their sins or things like that,
• 16:40
  Speaker 2: things that they had like like unfinished business. Right, And
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: his role as a sin eater is to absolve that
• 16:49
  Speaker 2: deceased person sins so that way they can enter the
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: afterlife with like a clear conscience and without anything holding
• 16:56
  Speaker 2: them back.
• 16:57
  Speaker 3: Right.
• 16:58
  Speaker 2: But the process of consuming sin is actually rather unpleasant,
• 17:04
  Speaker 2: especially for him, because the thing is, first of all,
• 17:08
  Speaker 2: in order for him to eat their sin, they have
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: to have already been They've had to have already have died.
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: So so whenever people in his community passed away, their
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: family members would send would send for him. He lives
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: typically lives on the outskirts of his He lives on
• 17:27
  Speaker 2: the outskirts of his village, and most people regard him
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: with suspicion and fear because they know the people in
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: his community know what he does and while they may
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: not like wants him to be there as like as
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: part of their community, like really take.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Measures to include him.
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: Whenever there's a death, they quickly bring we'll call him
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: to perform like the last, like the last rites, and
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: that is by eating the sin of the deceased of
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: the deceased. Now, the process itself is kind of gross
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: because it's kind of it's interesting, but it's.
• 18:07
  Speaker 3: Also kind of gross because.
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: He literally so what what the family members of the
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: deceased would do, or what Sebastian would do, is he
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: would eat food within the general vicinity of the person
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: who died. Right, So usually family members will make food
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: that was the deceased person's favorite foods. They would make
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: like dishes of the deceased person's favorite food and they
• 18:34
  Speaker 2: would give it to Sebastian and he would have to
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: eat it right then in there. The thing is though,
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: depending on the person. So if this person was just
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: like it was like a like an average person who
• 18:47
  Speaker 2: had an average amount of sin, the food that he
• 18:51
  Speaker 2: eats may come out with like a slight bitter taste
• 18:54
  Speaker 2: or some kind of like may like the food will
• 18:57
  Speaker 2: to him taste off and so it's tasting like normal
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: delicious food. It would he would notice that the texture
• 19:03
  Speaker 2: and taste will shift. It may come off as more
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: like just off, like you know, food that's been left
• 19:10
  Speaker 2: out too long, even though it just was freshly made,
• 19:13
  Speaker 2: or slightly bitter.
• 19:16
  Speaker 3: It will become slightly bitter or sour. But if a
• 19:19
  Speaker 3: person is.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Like a real like just a real piece of work,
• 19:23
  Speaker 2: like the worst person you.
• 19:25
  Speaker 3: Can think of. If somebody who is like I feel like,
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: let's say, like he.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: Was eating the sins of somebody who was like a
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: child abuser or like a wife beater or just a
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: just total asshole, like their life has been their life
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: has just been filled with sin. The You could put
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: like a fresh bake cupcake in front of Sebastian, but
• 19:48
  Speaker 2: when he eats it, it's gonna taste like shit.
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: It's like he's eating. To him, it tastes like it
• 19:54
  Speaker 3: he's consuming raw.
• 19:56
  Speaker 2: Sewage because as because when he's eating the food, the
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: food is like acting like a physical medium or like
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: a conduit.
• 20:07
  Speaker 3: For which the sin is u is consumed through.
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: And when he consumes the sin, right, it basically it
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: basically absolves the spirit, the spirit of the decease, of
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: all of the regrets and sins and allows them to
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: move on without any regrets, without anything holding them back,
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: and they can move on to the next, to the
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: next life.
• 20:31
  Speaker 3: But the thing is.
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: He's not just eating the sin, okay, he is also
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: giving birth to a physical manifestation of the sin as well.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: So after he consumes the sins of the decease, it
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: triggers a reaction in his body that causes a that
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: causes him to basically regurgitate the sin. Right, And when
• 21:00
  Speaker 2: this happens, that whatever he regurgitates because it becomes a
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: horrific creature.
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: That yeah, it's it's wild. It is wild. It's wild.
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: Let me.
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: Like taking a book, taking a page of that. Dude's fade, like, yeah,
• 21:25
  Speaker 2: it's wild. Came here, like my phone is like way
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: over there.
• 21:29
  Speaker 3: I have no control over the zoom punk.
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: Like, this isn't just some weird like creature that just
• 21:40
  Speaker 2: came crawling out of some abyss or like it just
• 21:46
  Speaker 2: like crawled through like some terror in reality.
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Now there is a terror in reality.
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: It's like near where he lives, there is a tear
• 21:54
  Speaker 2: leading into another dimension and there are creatures from that
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: dimension coming through, like demons. Right, well, Sebastian, what he
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: would do is he would consume the sins of really
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: bad people, and he would regurgitate the sin, and it
• 22:07
  Speaker 2: would take the form of these really nasty looking creatures. Now,
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: if somebody had like very mild, like, didn't have really
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: much sin at all, the creature that gets that he
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: ends up vomiting up would either be pretty small or
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: not really not really fierce. They may look even it
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: may look like a normal.
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Creature like Sebastian. He was helping a local inoit boy
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: name kylk hold On. Let me see that's his name.
• 22:36
  Speaker 4: Right, Devined. This part up where consulting my notes. Yes,
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: Klek or Colic. Sorry, it's an innuate name. I'm not
• 22:49
  Speaker 4: sure if I'm pronouncing that right. Please don't come for me.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: But so, he was helping a local Innoit boy name
• 22:56
  Speaker 2: Kaylk Bury his dog as his dog just passed away,
• 23:00
  Speaker 2: and uh, Sbashin learns that Kaylok actually has has the
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: same gift as him. And the thing about eating sin
• 23:09
  Speaker 2: is that it takes a really it really affects your
• 23:13
  Speaker 2: body negatively. So the more he does it, the more
• 23:18
  Speaker 2: his body begins to break down. So Sebastian is just
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: is a man in his late thirties, but he looks
• 23:23
  Speaker 2: like he's a man in his like sixties.
• 23:28
  Speaker 1: Who I guess I mean that sin would really fuck
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: up your body.
• 23:32
  Speaker 6: Mm hmm.
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: So when uh, when Kalyok's dog, old dog passes away,
• 23:39
  Speaker 2: Sebastian and both Sebastian and Kaylok, he's like he shows
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: kind of shows Kaylok like how the process works.
• 23:47
  Speaker 3: He eats like a little bit of.
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: Food and because the dog was just a dog, you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: very pure, right. The creature that's that he ends up
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: for gurgitating like it's just like a little butterfly or
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: like a little bird, right, And the bird looks doesn't
• 24:01
  Speaker 2: look like any normal bird that you would find on Earth.
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: It was very pretty and it's like white, and.
• 24:07
  Speaker 3: And it was very small and it flew off into
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: the wilderness.
• 24:10
  Speaker 2: So that's like, that's like on the good that's like
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: on the like, that's like one of the least uh
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: disturbing creatures that it gets earth from his from sin
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: eating this fucking spider is one of the worst.
• 24:28
  Speaker 3: You see.
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: Now I have to hide the I have to like
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: hide this book whenever my boyfriend Alex comes around because
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: he has a rackmophobia. And like when I first bought
• 24:40
  Speaker 2: this book, I was like, this book looks gnarly.
• 24:42
  Speaker 3: But at the same time, I'm like, oh, he can't
• 24:44
  Speaker 3: see this.
• 24:46
  Speaker 1: Nope, he will not like it, certainly will not.
• 24:50
  Speaker 2: No, So just to give you so just to go through,
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: like more of the synopsis of the story.
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: It follows Sebastian.
• 24:57
  Speaker 2: As he is performing his role in his village as
• 25:01
  Speaker 2: a thin eater. Some of the creatures that he ends
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: up giving that he ends.
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: Up regurgitating.
• 25:08
  Speaker 2: Ranged from like something as as mild as that little
• 25:12
  Speaker 2: bird that is that is born from the from the
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: spirit of the dog. And then there was there was
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: another relatively mild creature.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: Uh, it was like he he.
• 25:26
  Speaker 2: Was tricked into eating the sins of one of his
• 25:32
  Speaker 2: best friend's mother. Because the thing is is that because
• 25:36
  Speaker 2: of how much of a fiscal toll takes on him.
• 25:39
  Speaker 2: He only he tries really hard to like kind of
• 25:42
  Speaker 2: pick and choose and like set the stage for the
• 25:44
  Speaker 2: sin eating ceremony, so like he does. So if you
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: were to suddenly just like surprise him with thin eating
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: or like force him into doing it, it can like
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: have really adverse effect on him because he has to
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: really prepare and since like he knows he's reaching the
• 25:59
  Speaker 2: end of his life because years of sin eating have
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: just taken its toll, he has to really pick and choose.
• 26:05
  Speaker 3: So he had a friend, he had a close.
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: Friend who understands the situation and would often like comfort him, give.
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: Him a place where he like, and like basically opened
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: up her.
• 26:17
  Speaker 2: Home to him, so that way he'd have a place
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: where he doesn't have to worry about his role as
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: a sin eator and he could just you know.
• 26:25
  Speaker 3: Relax and take comfort.
• 26:27
  Speaker 2: The thing is, though her mother died, and she knew
• 26:32
  Speaker 2: that her mother wasn't really the best the best person,
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: like her mother was probably was probably like was the
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: impression I got about her mother was she was a
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: piece of shit and she like she was no saint.
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, And.
• 26:50
  Speaker 3: Uh, his mom her. So he comes over for a visit,
• 26:56
  Speaker 3: and she doesn't tell him.
• 26:57
  Speaker 2: She doesn't tell Sebastian that he that her mother died
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: and that her mother's corpse was still in the area,
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: meaning that her spirit was still there. And she gave
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: Sebastian some of her homemade chili, which is.
• 27:09
  Speaker 3: Also something one of her mother's favorite foods.
• 27:11
  Speaker 2: And so Smashan, thinking like, all right, cool, I'm about
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: to have a really great meal, right, starts eating the
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: chili and immediately notices the taste is off, and he
• 27:19
  Speaker 2: looks at her.
• 27:20
  Speaker 3: And he's like, what have you done?
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: And she spills the beans that I'm sorry, my mother
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: died and I know, like you needed time to prepare,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: but she's been dead for a while and you and
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: because of like the art, the conditions of their of
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: their village, the Arctic condition, like people can't really leave
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: their houses and this was like one of the few
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: times that they were able to do that, and uh
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: so she set it up so that way he can
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: like cleanse cleanse her mother's spirits so she could move on.
• 27:49
  Speaker 2: And he felt very betrayed, betrayed because this was one
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: of his like one of the few friends he had
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: and that she then she would just do do him
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: dirty like that.
• 27:57
  Speaker 3: That's fucked up.
• 27:59
  Speaker 2: So and the thing about eating is that once you start,
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: you can't stop. So he had no choice but to
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: finish the bowl of chili. And as he's eating it,
• 28:07
  Speaker 2: like it's the chili, which is like usually very great,
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: like it was his favorite food, like the best thing
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: he would ever eat, paste it off. So by the
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: end of it, by the end of it, he finishes it,
• 28:20
  Speaker 2: and he's already beginning to feel like the sin is
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: about to be born, right, is about to be yea, yeah,
• 28:30
  Speaker 2: and she's his friend, is like trying is trying to
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: be apologetic, like I'm so sorry, Like she's been dead
• 28:35
  Speaker 2: for a while, and this is like I didn't want
• 28:37
  Speaker 2: her to He's like her spirits to be stuck here
• 28:40
  Speaker 2: or like move on to the next life without.
• 28:43
  Speaker 3: You know, releasing her being released from her sins.
• 28:46
  Speaker 2: And he's basically like he doesn't really say it out right,
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: but like he's he The impression you get.
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: From this is like, yeah, go fuck yourself, and he
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: leaves man, he barely.
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: The thing is is that whenever he consumes sin, he
• 28:59
  Speaker 2: tries to make it back to either set it up
• 29:01
  Speaker 2: to where he consumes the sin, and like in or around.
• 29:05
  Speaker 3: His home, because not far from his home.
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: There is a terror in reality and this ear like
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: he uh when he was a lot younger, he would
• 29:13
  Speaker 2: actually travel around and look for other tears like the
• 29:16
  Speaker 2: one that's in his village, and he would consume sins,
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: and when he would regurgitate the creature the sin, he
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: would send those creatures.
• 29:27
  Speaker 3: Through the rift to close it.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: So every time he would send the more of the
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: sin creatures that he would give birth to that he
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: would send through the rift, the faster the rift would
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: close because the rift once they open, creature, these horrific
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: creatures from the other side would come.
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: Through and they would cause a lot they would rack havoc.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: Like several times in the book, while Sebastian is like
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: patrolling Gary around the rift, he comes across some of
• 29:53
  Speaker 2: these creatures, like he came across a like a whind
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: digo like creature, big as like big ass horns cloven
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: who right. And then at another time he actually comes
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: across a massive spider like creature not like not like
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: the one that he that he actually gets breath to
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: later we'll get to that one in a minute, but
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: he finds that these creatures aren't able to survive in
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: this uh, in this world for very long, especially because
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: they're in arctic conditions and this clear these creatures are
• 30:22
  Speaker 2: more suited for like tropical, like warmer climates.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: So they come through, they skitter around the area. Since
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: it's very.
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: Remote, there's not much damage they can do, so they
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: just like come through, maybe do some small damage, and
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: then die because of the freezing condition.
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: So but he's terrified that eventually one's going to come
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: through that'll be able to survive, so he's trying his
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: best to keep the area clear and work to like
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: send enough of the sin of his sin creatures into
• 30:55
  Speaker 2: the roup.
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: To close it.
• 30:59
  Speaker 2: The thing is his best friend's mother. She was no
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: saint but this but her sins were not like that bad.
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: So the creature that she that he ends up regurgitating
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: is just like a weird looking snake. And the thing
• 31:12
  Speaker 2: is the snake was too small. It was no bigger
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: than a regular like puff adder or a biper. I
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: forgot like what exactly it looked like like it looked like,
• 31:20
  Speaker 2: but it had.
• 31:21
  Speaker 3: Like spikes going down its back.
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: It was black with really bright red eyes and when
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: he when he when he spits it out, the snake
• 31:31
  Speaker 2: like slithers off into the wilderness, and he was too
• 31:35
  Speaker 2: far from.
• 31:35
  Speaker 3: The rift to send it through, and he was like, yeah,
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: it's not no big.
• 31:39
  Speaker 2: Deal because the snake is too small to really do
• 31:41
  Speaker 2: any like be effective against combat seeing whatever is coming
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: through the rift. The thing is, later on, he is
• 31:50
  Speaker 2: called to the house of another of one of his
• 31:52
  Speaker 2: neighbors and he is asked to consume the sins of
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: this neighbor's deceased wife. The thing is, these neighbors are
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: wide are widely known for being problematic by the community.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: So they were.
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: Drug addicts, alcoholics, They were very contentious with each other,
• 32:11
  Speaker 2: and they're.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: Like and the community. So they were real pieces of work.
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: The husband was often.
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: Very skeptical and very like he was openly like opposed
• 32:25
  Speaker 2: to Sebastian in his work, like he's like, I don't
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: believe in that shit, Like you know, you're full of it.
• 32:30
  Speaker 2: You're just literally like you're just you're just taking advantage
• 32:33
  Speaker 2: of these people and they're in their grief. But then
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: his wife dies and suddenly he's faced with like, well
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: what if he isn't like what if like what if
• 32:43
  Speaker 2: he isn't lying, Like what if what he's doing is
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: actually helping people.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: So we called Sebastian.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, Sebastian had to be quick because
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: they were entering a time of the winter.
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: Where like it was gonna everything was gonna get snowed in.
• 32:57
  Speaker 2: Nobody would be able to like get get out, no
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: one would really be able to leave their homes.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: So Sebastian had to work quick. He went, he went
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: to his neighbor's.
• 33:06
  Speaker 2: House, and his neighbor made like a cupcake, and this
• 33:13
  Speaker 2: cupcake was like one of the few things that his
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: wife's loved, that his wife loved in life, and so
• 33:19
  Speaker 2: Sebastian ends up eating the cupcake. The thing is, Sebastian
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: was all was still kind, was still somewhat recovering from
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: the last time he ate that he consumed sin, and
• 33:31
  Speaker 2: he this is where it really hit him that oh
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: my god, my like, I can't keep doing this. And
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: Sebastian was actually going to begin making plans to pass
• 33:42
  Speaker 2: on his ability to Kaylic because Kaylek has a similar ability.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: So he knows that the role of sin eater will
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: need to be passed on like and soon So he
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: eats the sin of his neighbor's wife.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: And he immediately knows that this sin.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: This wife, the sin of the wife is horrific. It's like,
• 34:05
  Speaker 2: I will say this, her sins was not that bad, Okay,
• 34:10
  Speaker 2: Like it was way worse than the last person's mm hmm,
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: but it's it's not the worst sin that gets consumed
• 34:19
  Speaker 2: in this entire.
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: Book, oh okay.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: So he consumes her sin and immediately has to run
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: back to his home to make sure that he releases
• 34:30
  Speaker 2: the sin near the rifts, because if he doesn't, then
• 34:33
  Speaker 2: the sin will.
• 34:34
  Speaker 3: Just run, We'll just run around in our world.
• 34:38
  Speaker 2: So like that's why he does it near these rifts
• 34:42
  Speaker 2: because one, it'll help keep the like monsters come from
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: coming through, but it also keep the monsters that he's
• 34:47
  Speaker 2: literally giving birth to from you know, being released into
• 34:51
  Speaker 2: the world. So he manages to make it somewhat near
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: the the rifts. Yeah, And he becomes violently sick, and
• 35:01
  Speaker 2: he begins vomiting blood and not just blood, but he
• 35:06
  Speaker 2: like he starts it comes he's vomiting up like chunks of.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: Meat, bits of bone like and like like clumps of
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: fur and skin.
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: And the thing is this the process was so vile,
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: and it was so like traumatic on his body that
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: like he actually suffered trauma in his throat right, like
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: his whole body was like was like the process was
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: so traumatic, This process of releasing this new creature was
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: so traumatic that after it was done, he nearly died
• 35:41
  Speaker 2: and he fell into a coma, but not before he
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: saw what creature he gave birth to.
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: So essentially, this creature was.
• 35:51
  Speaker 2: A polar bear, a massive polar bear.
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: It took the form of a massive polar bear. But
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: the polar bear was like it was it was like
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: a zombie polar bear. You could see.
• 36:04
  Speaker 2: It was very skeletal, like it had clumps of it
• 36:06
  Speaker 2: of meat and fur sticking to it, and it was massive.
• 36:12
  Speaker 3: All right, this polar bear creature.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: Like Thankfully, since he released it close to the rift,
• 36:16
  Speaker 2: it immediately went through the rift. But Sebastian unfortunately almost
• 36:22
  Speaker 2: died because since he was still out in the snow
• 36:24
  Speaker 2: and he was he was not he wasn't very far
• 36:27
  Speaker 2: from his home. But the problem is is that he
• 36:29
  Speaker 2: wasn't able to like make it back to his house
• 36:31
  Speaker 2: in time, so he passed out.
• 36:34
  Speaker 3: And but luckily Kaylek and his name and his old.
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: Friends, the one you know who betrayed him found him
• 36:39
  Speaker 2: and nursed him back to hell. But the thing is
• 36:42
  Speaker 2: is that the entire time he was recovering, he was
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: not able to perform his role as sin Eater, and
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: because the winter had come in, things were getting really
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: bad because people were snowed in and I will I'm
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: sorry I should have mentioned in this near the beginning
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: of the episode. But this book does also deal with
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: themes trauma, and not just like you know, physical, physical,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: and emotional trauma, but also themes of self harm, suicide.
• 37:17
  Speaker 3: And even.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Not so much like sexual assault, but there is some
• 37:23
  Speaker 2: kind of some themes of sexual assault, not with the.
• 37:26
  Speaker 3: Human characters, I should say, which is kind of weird.
• 37:29
  Speaker 2: But like this book does, this book is like a
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: three parter, so it does have three parts in it
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: despite being a very small book. So like first part
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: is Sebastian's part, the third part is actually with Kalk
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: and showing it like a short it's just a short
• 37:47
  Speaker 2: section of his journey in becoming the new sin Eater.
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: But the second part is actually going to be censored
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: around a demon that's on the other side of the rifts.
• 37:58
  Speaker 2: But we'll get to that in just a second. So
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: Sebastian because he's too sick, he's too he's now too
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: unwell to perform his work. A lot of people are
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: dying because not like you know, people die in his
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: village and it's like there's death is in their village.
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: Death is very common and it's accepted because one it's
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: either because people die because they were stupid and got
• 38:22
  Speaker 2: exposed to the elements, or they die because well it's
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: the middle of winter. They do experience they're in the
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: part of the Arctic where they experience like months of
• 38:32
  Speaker 2: dart of just pure night. Yeah, and you know, living
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: in those regions, it can take a toll on people's
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: mental health. And in some cases some people just simply
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: walk out into the snow and don't come back.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: So you do see a couple of that happen. So
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: I just want to like warn people.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: Devin, if you can also put a disclaimer at the
• 38:51
  Speaker 2: beginning of the episode that this book has themes of
• 38:56
  Speaker 2: self harm, sexual assault, suicide and other or like themes
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: of trauma. And but I will say this is this
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: book was good.
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: I was hooked. And but going back to Sebastian at Sebastian.
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: The thing is Sebastian, because of how much he was
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: out of commission, people began were constantly sending him offerings.
• 39:22
  Speaker 2: Because the way people would request for him to come
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: and eat the sin of their dead loved ones is
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: they would leave offerings for him, and like, you know,
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: he would know who the offering is from and that
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: that's basically like, and he would respond to them and
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: set a time for when he would come and consume
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: the sin.
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: But because he wasn't able to.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: Lots of people, like dozens of people from the village
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: were constantly bringing him offerings, and at one point there
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: was one like frustrated family who vandalized his house because
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: he just wasn't responding to them. Like I love people.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: He's an old man who's recovering. He can't what is
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: he gonna do? But you know, that's the thing about
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: some people is that they're selfish and only thing about
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: themselves really, So for Sebastian, while he's recovering, oh oh
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I'm back, okay, all.
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: Right, cool.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: So Sebastian has to focus on recovering. And the thing
• 40:22
  Speaker 2: is is that finally, when the winter conditions are beginning
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: to settle down. He felt like he was recovered enough
• 40:29
  Speaker 2: to like begin like moving around and possibly prepared.
• 40:32
  Speaker 3: For the next like trying to like, you know.
• 40:34
  Speaker 2: Work on the backlog of people's sins that he needs
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: to consume, though in most of the cases, like it's
• 40:40
  Speaker 2: too it's far too late, their spirits would have already
• 40:42
  Speaker 2: moved on whether or not he consumed their sins or not,
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: so he wasn't really going to worry about that since
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: once he was recovered enough, he started like trying to
• 40:52
  Speaker 2: fix up his house, and at one point, like, this.
• 40:57
  Speaker 3: Is a sad part.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: This, this next part is really sad because as his
• 41:00
  Speaker 2: own because his own community did him dirty while he
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: when he was when he finally came out of his
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: coma and started to like take care of himself, he
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: made himself some food.
• 41:13
  Speaker 3: He was in this house.
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: This was after he discovered that someone vandalized the outside
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: of his house. He got up one morning, fell well enough,
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: and he made himself some food. Wasn't really much, just
• 41:27
  Speaker 2: what he could on and what he had on Anne.
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: And when he started eating, he immediately noticed the horrific
• 41:34
  Speaker 2: taste of his food. And when he started like when
• 41:39
  Speaker 2: he got that first taste of just this basically pure
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: vile food. Having eating fresh food, he immediately gets up,
• 41:49
  Speaker 2: runs to his door and throws it open and looks outside,
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: and he sees that his front yard is filled with
• 41:56
  Speaker 2: the corpses of dead villagers. So basically what people from
• 42:01
  Speaker 2: his village had done is that they carried the bodies
• 42:04
  Speaker 2: of their debt, of their deceased family like pretty much
• 42:08
  Speaker 2: like all their corpses, and they dumped it in is lawn. Nah,
• 42:16
  Speaker 2: I pack up my shit, and y'all, it was too
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: late once you start eating. And even so, the thing
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: is is that he tries, despite the fact that he
• 42:25
  Speaker 2: tries to prepare himself for sin eating, if he eats
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: food within the vicinity of someone who's dead, their sin
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: immediately gets like like immediately gets consumed by him by
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: through whatever food he's eating. And once you start, he
• 42:42
  Speaker 2: can't stop because if he stops, the consequences are far worse.
• 42:48
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately for him, he knew he was doomed because
• 42:52
  Speaker 2: he could not stop. Because so he once he saw
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: the dozens of course in his in his yard, he
• 43:02
  Speaker 2: had he had no choice. He turned back, sat down
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: at his table, and this poor man like he was
• 43:08
  Speaker 2: so distraught, like like I was, I felt so bad
• 43:12
  Speaker 2: for him, like how can like how can anybody do
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: that to him? Like that was this act was so selfish,
• 43:19
  Speaker 2: like what they did was so selfish and fucked up,
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: like they like everyone knew that he had gotten, that
• 43:26
  Speaker 2: he had gotten hurt and he was recovering. But no,
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: they were so terrified of their of their deceased loved
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: ones being stuck in like being stuck on this world
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: and not being able to cross over, that they just
• 43:43
  Speaker 2: dumped their bodies in his and his property. And I'm like, well, listen,
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: let me tell you something. If you're if your deceased
• 43:50
  Speaker 2: loved ones or anything like you people, they probably deserved
• 43:52
  Speaker 2: to be stuck on earth in the afterlife. They probably
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: deserved to live out the rest of eternity with their
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: shame to get because if they're anything like you, for
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: dumping their their dead bodies on another.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: In another man's home, just because there will be.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: A slight chance and he'd be able to absolve them
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: of their sins, you got No.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: You deserve it. You deserve it.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: But anyway, unfortunately they're gonna they get what they want
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: because Sebastian has no choice but to continue eating the
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: sins finishes. He has to finish his meal down to
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: the very last fight, and he does, and it was
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: horrible the entire way. It tasted like ashes, It tasted
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: like sewage, rotted sour like.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: The most the foul that it was basically like eating
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: a rotten corpse. That's gross, yep.
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: And unfortunately he does not survive what happens next because
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: he begins the sins like because he consumes basically all
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: of the sins of these corpses, at least deceased people,
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: their combined sin gives birth to the second most horrific
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: creature in the book.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: And that's what.
• 45:15
  Speaker 1: Comes out of everyone's sins together.
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: That's gross, yep.
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: So basically what happens is is that when he begins
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: to vomit up the creature, what he begins vomiting up
• 45:27
  Speaker 2: is like a stream of smaller spiders mixed in with
• 45:32
  Speaker 2: blood and.
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: Silk and other shit.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, though, the sin itself, because of
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: how much because of all the combined sin together create
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: like it pull us into this mass of sin that
• 45:48
  Speaker 2: might begin to grow while it was still inside his body.
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: Because usually what happens when he when he consumes the
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: sins of one person, he's able to vomit it out,
• 45:56
  Speaker 2: and whatever vomits out it will, like the crap that
• 45:59
  Speaker 2: he's out will like coal us and like form itself.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: Into the creature. Right, But because of how.
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: Much sin he it consumes, he wasn't able to purge
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: it from his body fast enough and it formed inside
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: of him. Ew So the spider creature the big Mama,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: not the small ones that came crawling out when he
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: started vomiting him up.
• 46:22
  Speaker 3: It tried to like.
• 46:25
  Speaker 2: Crawl its way, like pull its way out of his throat,
• 46:28
  Speaker 2: but it became so big that it started cutting itself
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: out of his body.
• 46:33
  Speaker 3: So it literally bursts out of his stomach like hr
• 46:38
  Speaker 3: like Ridley Scott's style.
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're talking full on like Xenomorph's style, chest bursting action.
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: This gigantic spider creature violently ripped itself out of his
• 46:53
  Speaker 2: body grew into this huge like like this, Like looking
• 46:58
  Speaker 2: at the cover of this book, Devin, if you look
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: up the if you could like look up the cover
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: of this book and put it onto the podcast, like
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: you can see you can see this thing has not
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: just eight the standard eight legs of a spider. This
• 47:13
  Speaker 2: has hundreds of legs, like dozens of legs, and the
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: way they look, they look like like individual bones like femurs,
• 47:22
  Speaker 2: and like the these kind of bones that formed like
• 47:25
  Speaker 2: your forearm.
• 47:26
  Speaker 3: The forearms like stuck together and they're barely hold together
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: by thin lines of sinew.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Right, this big ass thing comes like violently rips itself
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: out of his body, and because of how massive it was,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: it ends up like bursting out, like breaking through his
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: house and uh so it demolishes his house in the process.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: And he had some lit candles in his house, so
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: they immediately so those get knocked over and light his house.
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: So he's not surviving in any way way. So the
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: creature like breaks free from that from his body.
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: And it like it completely breaks out of his house,
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: demolishing it and burning it down in the process. The
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: creature does go through the portal, but in the end,
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: Sebastian is dead.
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: Mm. It was really I was really sad, like that
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: was really that was. It was. It's depressing.
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: It's awful, and he didn't deserve that because what he
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: had been doing for the community, whether they trusted it
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: or not, he was basically giving the worst of them
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: a chance to have a better afterlife, a chance to
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: move on without being weighed down.
• 48:42
  Speaker 3: By the sins of their past.
• 48:44
  Speaker 7: By the the by.
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: That stain that was left on their soul from like
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: all the bad things that they had done.
• 48:54
  Speaker 1: So he takes on their sin. What does that mean
• 48:58
  Speaker 1: when he goes, he's stuck on earth or damned, So it's.
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: Not really like he's not like actually permanently taking their
• 49:09
  Speaker 2: sins into himself, like he consumes their sin, absolving the
• 49:13
  Speaker 2: spirit of their sin.
• 49:14
  Speaker 3: But then he immediately that.
• 49:18
  Speaker 1: The creature that forms gotcha, duh duh oh.
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: I know.
• 49:26
  Speaker 2: So I was thinking like, oh, this sounds like a
• 49:28
  Speaker 2: good like like Appalachian thist. This is kind of like
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: I know, this is like more like Annoit arcticre but
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: it kind of has that that Appalachian vibe too because
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: they're in like a mountains area, so there are mountains,
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: like a mountain region somewhere in like Alaska.
• 49:44
  Speaker 1: And adding adding that to my adding that next to
• 49:47
  Speaker 1: the tapeworm fay parasite, ape worm fay parasite. Yeah, we
• 49:54
  Speaker 1: were reviewing, uh, the Eptiser last night and I was like,
• 49:58
  Speaker 1: and we were talking, I'm like, wait a minute, this
• 50:01
  Speaker 1: is giving me an idea for a parasitic tapeworm that
• 50:05
  Speaker 1: eats magic.
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: But it's where where did you watch that movie on? Right?
• 50:11
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's on shutter It's it's I'm gonna watch it.
• 50:14
  Speaker 1: It's it's gnarly.
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: The tape.
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I'm gonna watch the tape worm It's it's good. It's
• 50:20
  Speaker 1: a it's a three point five out of five. It's
• 50:23
  Speaker 1: it's not bad. It's worth it's worth one watch. Feel
• 50:27
  Speaker 1: bad for her though, goddamn.
• 50:31
  Speaker 8: Anyways, yeah, anyway, So that so his death is Smashion's
• 50:39
  Speaker 8: death is the end of part one.
• 50:43
  Speaker 3: Okay, real quick, going back, what is the name of
• 50:44
  Speaker 3: the movie?
• 50:46
  Speaker 1: Ugly Stepsister?
• 50:49
  Speaker 3: Ugly Stepsister? Oh my god, there's a bunch of new
• 50:52
  Speaker 3: movies on shutter I gotta watch.
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: I'm planning on doing that, like doing like a thirty
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: day of hell Yeah, horror watch New Yeah, trying to
• 51:01
  Speaker 2: watch a new horror movie every day. But that's I'm
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: not gonna start doing that until October first, all right.
• 51:08
  Speaker 3: Getting back to the story.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: So the next part of this story is kind of like,
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: so this is actually gonna be from the perspective of
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: a demon that lives on the other side of the Rift.
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: So the rift opens up into like an alternate Earth
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: style world. So there's no people, there's no civilization, but
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: the creatures that live there, they're horrific, demon like creatures.
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: But they're really not like demons in the traditional sense,
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: like they're intelligent. Their deal they're deal makers, they can
• 51:41
  Speaker 2: steal your soul kind of deal.
• 51:42
  Speaker 3: They're more like.
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: Just monsters, like kind of like monster hunter style creatures,
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: where like the world is filled with these different kinds
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: of creatures. Some yeah, do have weird abilities, but they
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: are for the most part, basically like alien animals. They're
• 51:59
  Speaker 2: vicious and there they're vicious, the horrific, and they'll kill
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: everything in their path, but they're almost they're more like
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: they're more like animals really. So this so this part
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: of the story follows a I guess we could call
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: it like a demon mother style creature. So it's life,
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: It follows its life as it navigates its hellish world.
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: And the thing about this creature is that it's actually intelligent.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: It does have like human level intelligence, yet at the
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: same time it being like a monster, it's not able
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: to actually like communicate or really articulate like a human. Right,
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: So it does recognize like certain things, Like it does
• 52:42
  Speaker 2: recognize that the world it exists in is dying because
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: it's it's like a barren it has to.
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: Navigate through like a barren landscape. Like the creature itself
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: was born in like a desert region. But it does
• 52:53
  Speaker 3: navigate itself.
• 52:54
  Speaker 2: It does migrate like to like a forested more jungle
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: like region, and it's constantly trying to like protect itself
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: and survive from like other horrific creatures. And the thing
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: is about this particular monster is that it's a mother
• 53:13
  Speaker 2: type monster because it Uh.
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: Oh, that's interesting.
• 53:25
  Speaker 2: No, discord is like turnout and reactions use hand gestures
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: to send reactions during a video fall.
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: Oh that's I think that's that new.
• 53:32
  Speaker 1: Uh, that's cool.
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: I think that's actually part of the new iPhone update,
• 53:36
  Speaker 2: the iOS twenty six. Yeah, with the glass with the
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: liquid Uh, it's like liquid display.
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: Now that's cool instead of the old one.
• 53:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, let's see open control center, tap video effects and
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: tap reactions.
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: Where's control center? I'll fuck with later.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: So but uh so, this creature, it doesn't really have
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: a name, but it does have some like as you're
• 54:12
  Speaker 2: going through this section of the book, you realize that
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: it has.
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: Like some form of human level of intelligence, and.
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: Near the end of it, it's it's heavily implied that
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: this monster was once human and that when it was
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: born it had it somehow recalls like memories of a
• 54:36
  Speaker 2: human of its human life, but it doesn't really recognize
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: like what that is or what happened. And as it's
• 54:41
  Speaker 2: navigating through its hellish world, it of course, like it
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: does encounter, like the creatures of its of a similar
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: species that it is. It does, like you know, mate
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: and give birth to children. But then also like as
• 54:56
  Speaker 2: it navigates, it also does like end up mating with
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: other creatures and gives birth to other creatures of like
• 55:04
  Speaker 2: either looking kind of like either being more like these
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: other The creatures it gives birth to lean more towards
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: like will either leading more toward the father's species or
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: its own, or sometimes come out completely different. And this
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: is where the themes of sexual assault kind of weirdly
• 55:22
  Speaker 2: come into play, because some in some cases, like it
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: gets impregnated like violently, but like the thing is is
• 55:31
  Speaker 2: like it's a monster, so I'm just not really like
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: it's like a demon monster, so I'm not really sure.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: How I feel like how to feel about it, because.
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: Like I'm not saying, like like sexual assault is like
• 55:45
  Speaker 2: sexual assault is sexual assault regardless, but like that that's
• 55:48
  Speaker 2: that'sn't the.
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: Section that I'm like, I'm not sure how I feel
• 55:51
  Speaker 3: about this.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Because eventually, eventually, this this demon mother does come across
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: the rift and it takes up residence. It makes it
• 56:07
  Speaker 2: decides to like make the area around the rift its territory,
• 56:13
  Speaker 2: and it does somewhat explore the other side of the rift,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: like it does explore a couple of times. And the
• 56:22
  Speaker 2: thing is, though it doesn't it's not able to stay
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: because of how cold it is, and it's not able
• 56:26
  Speaker 2: to survive there. So the demon Mother would just like
• 56:30
  Speaker 2: come back through the rift and just stay on, you know,
• 56:33
  Speaker 2: the its world side. But since it was staying in
• 56:37
  Speaker 2: that area, it was continuously mating and giving birth to
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: more of its children. And sometimes its children would go
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: through the rifts. And when they would though, it's as
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: it turns out, every time the Bastian would encounter like
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: one of those crazy creatures like that spider creature or
• 56:54
  Speaker 2: that wind digo like.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: Creature, those were children.
• 56:58
  Speaker 3: Those were its children.
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And at one point, because like because of how like.
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: It because it has like human like intelligence.
• 57:06
  Speaker 2: The demon Mother actually at one point goes through and realizes, like,
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: wait a second, this snow, like the ice and snow
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: in this world is just water, right, So it actually
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: goes into the into our world, and like because the
• 57:20
  Speaker 2: rift is not that far from like a like a beat,
• 57:22
  Speaker 2: like the ocean like a beat. It runs down to
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: the beach and there's like a layer, a thick layer
• 57:27
  Speaker 2: of ice over the beach.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: It actually like.
• 57:30
  Speaker 2: Jumps in the water, cuts through like a huge block
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: of ice and pushes it back through the rift. It
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: almost dies because of like how cold it is. But
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: when it pushes that huge like tongue of ice through
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: the rift, it it actually manages to.
• 57:44
  Speaker 3: Create like a little bit of an oasis on the
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: other side.
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: So like it attracts other creatures and it's able to
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: like get birth and like raise more of its young.
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: But at one point, when Sebastian had given birth to
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: that polar bear creature, when the polar bear came through,
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: the polar bear slaughtered her children.
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: And then later on it does also encounter the spider creature.
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: Damn yeah, and the spider creature and like does something
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: similar before that, but the oddly enough the spider creature
• 58:23
  Speaker 2: was the one that it doesn't end up doing that
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: much damage. It actually ends up like dying pretty quickly.
• 58:31
  Speaker 2: But the thing is that this like I wasn't sure
• 58:35
  Speaker 2: how I felt about this, because it seemed like they
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: were trying to build sympathy for this creature because it
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: does like travel trying to find like answers to how
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: to save its world or how to like survive better,
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: or like answers to like the memories, it has that
• 58:50
  Speaker 2: of like a human life.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: And at one point, so at one point in.
• 58:54
  Speaker 2: The book, Sebastian does come across the body of a
• 58:57
  Speaker 2: woman who had walked out into this the weather, the
• 59:01
  Speaker 2: cold weather.
• 59:01
  Speaker 3: To basically take her own life.
• 59:04
  Speaker 2: And the thing is is that the the Demon Mother
• 59:08
  Speaker 2: actually encounters that same corpse when it comes.
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: Through, and it's there's slight.
• 59:17
  Speaker 2: Implication that the Demon Mother was actually that woman, the
• 59:22
  Speaker 2: woman who.
• 59:23
  Speaker 3: Kills herself, who killed herself by walking out into the cold.
• 59:26
  Speaker 2: Because she walks out the way she took her own life,
• 59:29
  Speaker 2: was she uh just basically like stripped down naked and
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: just walked out into the cold weather until she eventually
• 59:37
  Speaker 2: just pros to death, and she somehow had wandered far
• 59:39
  Speaker 2: enough to where she came across the rift, and then
• 59:41
  Speaker 2: she just like knelt She just knelt down in front
• 59:44
  Speaker 2: of it and died.
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: And then the like.
• 59:48
  Speaker 2: Sebastian finds the woman's corpse, and then the demon Mother
• 59:50
  Speaker 2: also finds the woman's corpse. And the way that Demon
• 59:53
  Speaker 2: Mother like looks at and regards the corpse, it's there's
• 59:56
  Speaker 2: a bit of an implication that she recognizes it, like.
• 59:59
  Speaker 1: She might have been birthed from Sebastian.
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 2: No no, no, like when she died, like her spirit
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 2: when it moved on to the next life, she was
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 2: reborn in that hellish world, and I guess like time
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: works a lot different in that world.
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: Implications.
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: Yeah, there's there's implications there. The thing is is that
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: there's no real resolution with this.
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Like it's implied that the Demon Mother was planning on
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: like coming through the rifts one at like one point
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 2: to like try to like take over, but eventually the
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 2: rift closes on its own, and so like the Demon
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: Mother is on the other side, Sebastian is dead on
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 2: this side. And now we're back into uh, we're back
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 2: into part three and this is like dealing with the
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: aftermath of the aftermath of Sabashian's death and also the
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 2: beginning of Klik's journey into becoming the news sin eater.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: So this this scene, this section is actually a lot
• 1:00:59
  Speaker 2: shorter because Kaylok knows that he has a similar gift
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: to Sebastian, and in fact, when Sebastian died, he realizes
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 2: that his gift has gotten a lot stronger. So he
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 2: knows that he needs to be more careful with how
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 2: he operates, how he lives, because now he if he accidentally,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: if he eats food and there's somebody who died nearby,
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 2: he could risk giving somebody.
• 1:01:29
  Speaker 3: Like taking on somebody's sin.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 2: But he notices that there's some key differences between his
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: power and Sebastian's power because like and it's not really
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: so much like the power was different, but more is
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: like their approach to it. So usually when Sebastian would
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 2: consume somebody's sin, he would immediately purge it from his
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: body and give birth to a horrific creature, right, But
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: Kaylk noticed that when he would the few times.
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 3: That he does it himself, he noticed it.
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 2: He realizes that in instead of just like eating their sin,
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 2: like taking them like just taking their sin onto himself.
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 2: He doesn't just like regurgitate it back out and releasing
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 2: a horrific sin into the world.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: He notices that he can actually purify the sin.
• 1:02:17
  Speaker 2: So in some cases and a few of the cases
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 2: where he does this, he notices that the creature that
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 2: he ends up giving birth to, instead of being like
• 1:02:26
  Speaker 2: some horrific sin creature, like it's a new purified entity.
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 2: So he realizes that he can instead of just absolving
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 2: people of their sin, he can actually purify them.
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: He could do the opposite.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: So he's still a sin eater, but he's not going
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 2: to be but he has like a new approach to it.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, kaylk ends up getting like catching
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: the notice of a of all things, a mob boss.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: So like in his area, there is a there is
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 2: a family that lives on that lives in his community,
• 1:03:08
  Speaker 2: and they're a very rich family.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: But it's very well known. But it's it's well known.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 2: By everyone that the that the patriarch of that family
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 2: is a piece of shit.
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: He is a criminal.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: He has he's clearly like he runs like an underground
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 2: criminal organization. But basically like the mafia, like an like
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: an Inoit mafia, but I'm not sure if they were
• 1:03:30
  Speaker 2: actually in it or anything. It was just more like
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 2: this dude, like he lives up in the mountain. He
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 2: lives in a mansion up the mountain, uh, not far
• 1:03:38
  Speaker 2: from the Inuit village, and everyone knows that he is
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 2: a criminal, that he has leads a criminal organization, and
• 1:03:45
  Speaker 2: he's had a long history of coercion, embezzlement, things like that,
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: like real piece of work. The thing is, he is
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: dying of terminal cancer. And when this guy learns that
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: Kaylak is now the new sin eater. He finds out
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 2: after he like purifies the sins of this really pleasant
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: old lady, Like she wasn't like like this old lady
• 1:04:07
  Speaker 2: she passed away and her I'm sorry, this is not
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 2: the old lady, it's her husband.
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 3: I'm getting the earlier people confused.
• 1:04:14
  Speaker 2: So this old lady, her husband passed away, and her
• 1:04:17
  Speaker 2: husband wasn't a saint, but he wasn't a bad guy either,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: and there was a few things that.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 3: He had done that weren't really like the best.
• 1:04:26
  Speaker 2: So when Kayla consumes his sin, he realizes, like, yeah,
• 1:04:29
  Speaker 2: this guy has a little extra spice to him. But
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 2: when he's about to like release the sin back in
• 1:04:36
  Speaker 2: the world instead of just releasing like this perfect creature,
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: that's when he.
• 1:04:39
  Speaker 3: Releases a purified sin. So he didn't just absolve him
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: with the sin. He'd purified the sin.
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: And that's when he learned that this is that's when
• 1:04:48
  Speaker 2: he starts realizing he can actually like do things different
• 1:04:52
  Speaker 2: from from Sebastian and not have to walk that same
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 2: path as him. But that does catch the attent of
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: the mob boss and this guy calls Kaylk.
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 3: Down to his up to his mansion, doesn't and it like.
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 2: Calls and by like like invites him, but it's more
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: like he has his thugs kidnap him and bring him
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 2: up to the mansion where he has a conversation with them,
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 2: telling him that like, I know you're this new syny,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: like I know you're the youtub Sebastian's place, and I
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 2: don't have long for this world and I'd like you
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: to be on call for when the time comes, And
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 2: Kylek is like, well I will, I'll do it, but
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 2: I must warn you my training with what in this
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: new role is and that was never actually completed. It
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 2: didn't even start, like it barely even started, Like Sebastian
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 2: like gave gave Kayleok a few tips and like warnings
• 1:05:49
  Speaker 2: about the synague process, but didn't actually get a chance
• 1:05:54
  Speaker 2: to go into the whole, to go into the whole
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 2: process of it and like teach him like the more
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: nuances and like the dangers of sin eating.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: So now Kaylek has to basically do everything on his own.
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 2: And eventually the mobster dies and Kaylek is once again
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: called up to do uh, is called up to.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: Ah to consume the guy's sin.
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 2: And the thing is, because of how rich he is,
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 2: the guy's favorite meal was like a really like expensive
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 2: cut of steak with like all these fancy ingredients. So
• 1:06:30
  Speaker 2: they give they sit Kalyok down in the room with
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 2: his with the dude's corpse, because he like he just died.
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: They kid Kaylek, have sent him down, give him like
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: a really nice fancy like steak dinner, like we're talking
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 2: like premium cut. I feel so bad for Kaylek because
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: when he starts eating this steak, he immediately knows that
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: this dude is terrible was probably was a terrible person. Yeah,
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 2: the thing is that despite Kayla now understanding that he
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 2: could purify people of their sins rather than just absolve them.
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 2: He's not able to do that with this guy because
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 2: his sins are so horrific that when he eats a steak,
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: it's like he's eating like rotten met like rotten flash
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: burt like it's trained to ash brought and sour meat,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 2: like what Sebastian had to deal with, Like what like
• 1:07:28
  Speaker 2: the this Sebastian had to deal with a similar thing
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 2: when he had when he consumed the sins of all
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: of those peat all those corpses, right.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 3: Well, imagine all of the sins of those corporate.
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 1: Ew.
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 3: So the thing is when when Kayla finishes eating.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: The steak, which took him forever to do because of
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 2: how awful this dude.
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 3: This person was and his sins were, he does end up.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 2: Regurgitating the sin and he's able to hit it like yeah,
• 1:08:00
  Speaker 2: it hurts and it takes to like a toll in
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: his body, but he does it. And the creature that's born.
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 2: It doesn't really describe what the creature was because he
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 2: was like in a really like kind of like in
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: a feuge state.
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 3: But the thing is is that the the monster had
• 1:08:15
  Speaker 3: like his family.
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Like his family was all gathered there and have room,
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: and they watched him eat the sin. So when he
• 1:08:22
  Speaker 2: gave so he wasn't able to like leave and like
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: just release the sin. Right, So the sin itself like
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 2: ends up when it comes, when it finally comes out
• 1:08:34
  Speaker 2: and it forms itself, it ends up killing.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 3: Everyone in the room.
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 2: I mean sat like Kayla was able to leave because
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 2: like thinking about the sins is that they had the sin.
• 1:08:46
  Speaker 2: Eators have some control over the sins when they give
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: birth to him, but it's more of like they'll just
• 1:08:52
  Speaker 2: do whatever and they just like point. It's more of
• 1:08:54
  Speaker 2: like they point, they give birth to them, point them
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: in the right direction, and like set them free, like
• 1:08:58
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna actually like hold on, does it.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: Give any description what the thing is?
• 1:09:08
  Speaker 6: Let's see, the bones and flesh in front of me
• 1:09:13
  Speaker 6: have coalesced into a formless black mount, its outer surface
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 6: hardening into an armor that suddenly sprouts legs, an tanny
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 6: and chittering mandibles.
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: An army of ants and beetles and cockroaches and earwigs
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 2: and spiders and ticks and police swarm over every surface
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: in the room, blanketing the riving bodies of Philip's family,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 2: Phillips is the Philip is the mob boss, and Philip's
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 2: family and his men, until there's nothing left but death.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 2: I collapse to my knees, untouched by the swarming insects,
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 2: terrified to release what is inside of me. But there's
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 2: no holding this back any longer. As my jaws stretched
• 1:09:49
  Speaker 2: wider than I ever thought possible, and my eyes bulge
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 2: the point of bursting, my body locks in a convulsive rigor,
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 2: and I release a torrent of white feathers into the room.
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 2: So like he ends up like, uh so, here's the thing.
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 2: When he consumes the sin of Philip. The spirit of
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 2: this mob guy, I guess was so like was so
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 2: violent that let me like, I'm actually gonna like look
• 1:10:26
  Speaker 2: at this again.
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 1: Does he get birthed to two of the two things.
• 1:10:33
  Speaker 2: No, it's it's actually like, as he's absorbing the sin,
• 1:10:38
  Speaker 2: it's like the spirit of the guy actually ends up
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 2: like killing everybody in the room because it's the reaction
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 2: of it.
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: Because I think like, as.
• 1:10:47
  Speaker 2: Its sins are being like like absolved or being like
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 2: clensed from the spirit, Like the sins were so bad
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 2: that as they were being cleansed, they were started like
• 1:10:56
  Speaker 2: lashing out, so before they can.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: Actually like go through k like and be like, you know.
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they began to like lash out at everything around them.
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: So it's like a case of like, oh, well, like
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: he's a sin.
• 1:11:14
  Speaker 2: The spirit knows it was a sinner and didn't care
• 1:11:17
  Speaker 2: and actually enjoyed it.
• 1:11:20
  Speaker 3: Let's see, I'm gonna hold on, I'm gonna read let me,
• 1:11:22
  Speaker 3: let me read this. So all right, it's perfect.
• 1:11:27
  Speaker 2: I've never I never see the hand that drops off
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 2: the plate and can barely feel its absence as it
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 2: retreats into a hitting door toward the kitchen. I steel
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 2: myself and pick up the cutlery, knowing I have a
• 1:11:38
  Speaker 2: singular focus, and it is this meal and what lingers
• 1:11:42
  Speaker 2: on the other side of this new ritual. I cut
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 2: into the steak and it's perfectly rare brown on the sides,
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: with the right with a bright red listening center marbled
• 1:11:51
  Speaker 2: with glorious fat.
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: Oh this is a damn. The steak is a must
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: be waggy.
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 2: I take a first bite and it is ambrosia melting
• 1:11:59
  Speaker 2: into my taste buds. The smoke and fat, blending hands
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: of salt and spices, the butter and garlic, a satisfying
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: depth of meat, a touch of something nutty, and then
• 1:12:10
  Speaker 2: I swallow it down. Everything changes. I choke as the
• 1:12:14
  Speaker 2: flesh turns rancid, something gone horribly wrong, the fat congealing
• 1:12:18
  Speaker 2: as I try to swallow. A metallic bloodlight tang clutches
• 1:12:22
  Speaker 2: in my throat, choking me as a rotten flavor of
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 2: sour milk and cigarette ashes.
• 1:12:28
  Speaker 3: Fills my mouth. This is, yeah, this is It gets
• 1:12:30
  Speaker 3: gross like the way it describes how like the food.
• 1:12:33
  Speaker 2: Turns like like, turns rancid as they eat it like.
• 1:12:38
  Speaker 3: I force a swallow. Hold on, hold, I'm sorry, get
• 1:12:40
  Speaker 3: ahead on the bed.
• 1:12:41
  Speaker 2: His body convulses again, more violently, the sheets starting to
• 1:12:45
  Speaker 2: slip off of him as a palet skin of his
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 2: face and torso suddenly flushes with color. I force a swallow,
• 1:12:51
  Speaker 2: and the hunk of meat goes down, lodging midway in
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 2: my esophacus. I pound my chest with my fists, gasping
• 1:12:57
  Speaker 2: for breath, eyes watering, wretching, barely holding back the overwhelming
• 1:13:02
  Speaker 2: urge of bomb, overwhelming urge to vomit, until the bite
• 1:13:05
  Speaker 2: slips down like a hefty stone into my stomach. An
• 1:13:09
  Speaker 2: intense heat radiates from his body like an engine, red
• 1:13:12
  Speaker 2: until it's glowing red with steam rising off of his
• 1:13:16
  Speaker 2: trembling corpse. But I tear my eyes away from him
• 1:13:19
  Speaker 2: and force my attention back to the stake. There is
• 1:13:22
  Speaker 2: so much left to devour, and I hesitate, momentarily, overcome
• 1:13:25
  Speaker 2: by the task at hand. I frantically cut up, cut
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 2: it up into smaller pieces, knowing each bite.
• 1:13:31
  Speaker 3: Is going to be harder to ingest than the last.
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 2: But I decide in the moment that I need to
• 1:13:35
  Speaker 2: just shovel it all into my mouth and choke it
• 1:13:37
  Speaker 2: down painfully, as fast as humanly possible. And so I
• 1:13:41
  Speaker 2: do that again and again until my lips and chin
• 1:13:45
  Speaker 2: are flattered in grease, it slithered in grease, tears streaming
• 1:13:49
  Speaker 2: down my face. I close my eyes as nauseating visions
• 1:13:53
  Speaker 2: of consumption, built of consumption flood my mind and make
• 1:13:58
  Speaker 2: my stomach churn. Gourging on blood splattered roadkills swarmed with
• 1:14:03
  Speaker 2: flowflies and maggots, Jackals tearing at the emaciated corpses of disease,
• 1:14:09
  Speaker 2: Cattle rotting in the weltering heat, people slashing bucket loads
• 1:14:13
  Speaker 2: of ulfal speces fresh from the abatoir floor, or avatar floor,
• 1:14:21
  Speaker 2: forcing me to keep them open and fully witness the
• 1:14:23
  Speaker 2: ritual before me. Moans and gasps erupt from the shadows
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 2: around me, And while I can't see the family, there's
• 1:14:30
  Speaker 2: fevered activity out of the corners of my eyes, people
• 1:14:33
  Speaker 2: restraining and consoling each other, feet scuffling on the hardwood floor,
• 1:14:36
  Speaker 2: a murmuring of prayers and curse words that is.
• 1:14:38
  Speaker 3: Growing in volume.
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 2: On the bed, Philip continues to shake, the incessant rattling
• 1:14:44
  Speaker 2: of the metal bed frame drowning out everything but the
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 2: sound of chewing inside my head. The last of his
• 1:14:50
  Speaker 2: sheets dropped to the floor, exposing the full length of
• 1:14:52
  Speaker 2: his spasminge cadaver for all to see. As thin lines
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 2: of blood revealed themselves on his translution. His translution, some
• 1:15:00
  Speaker 2: flesh seeping through the thin fabric of his pristine light
• 1:15:05
  Speaker 2: blue pajamas across his neck and face, down the length
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 2: of his exposed forearms and feet. I see the crimson
• 1:15:11
  Speaker 2: lesions spreading across his skin, like incisions from the outside,
• 1:15:15
  Speaker 2: from the inside out, his very body coming apart.
• 1:15:18
  Speaker 3: At the seams.
• 1:15:20
  Speaker 2: So let me tell you something like before I keep going.
• 1:15:24
  Speaker 2: This has never happened with any of the other corpses.
• 1:15:29
  Speaker 2: Like every time Sebastian and Kayla had eaten the s
• 1:15:31
  Speaker 2: had consumed the sins of somebody else. Yeah, Like there's
• 1:15:35
  Speaker 2: no physical reaction. That's how bad, that's how evil this
• 1:15:40
  Speaker 2: dude was. Like his sins were so bad that when
• 1:15:42
  Speaker 2: Uhl was consuming them and like cleansing his spirit, that
• 1:15:46
  Speaker 2: dude's spirit of his sins, it was literally tearing the
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 2: dude's body apart.
• 1:15:53
  Speaker 3: To continue.
• 1:15:54
  Speaker 2: I keep eating impulsively, uncontrollably, in a frenzy of fear,
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 2: terror and discuss, And as a woman screams from somewhere
• 1:16:02
  Speaker 2: behind me, the fireplace roars to life, flames erupting across
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 2: the room, sending shards of burning wood exploding outward, as
• 1:16:10
  Speaker 2: logs crack in half, swirling sparks engulfing the entire to
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 2: blue of spectators, igniting small fires on the fine rugs
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 2: beneath their feet. For every forkful of meat, there is
• 1:16:21
  Speaker 2: a violent movement from the bed. For every bite I
• 1:16:24
  Speaker 2: shove into my mouth, there are teeth marks consume blossoming
• 1:16:27
  Speaker 2: on his flesh. For every tee of ransoms steak, there
• 1:16:30
  Speaker 2: is a crackle of his bones breaking. And with every
• 1:16:34
  Speaker 2: insufferable morsel. His body disconnects a little further from itself,
• 1:16:41
  Speaker 2: and an ivy stand crashes on the crashes to the hardwood,
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 2: dragging the monitor and ventilator down with it in an
• 1:16:49
  Speaker 2: implosion of glass and plastic, prompting a streak from the gallery.
• 1:16:53
  Speaker 2: As someone rattles the handle of the at the exit door.
• 1:16:56
  Speaker 2: Unable to escape, I shove my head down and eat faster,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 2: struggling to finish this meal. The cacophony of family rising
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 2: now bouts and screams from the shadows, doors slamming open
• 1:17:09
  Speaker 2: and shut, glass breaking, bringing a great rush of cold
• 1:17:14
  Speaker 2: air whirling through the suffocating heat of the room. A
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 2: gunshot rings out, sparking on impact with the fireplaced stones. Excuse,
• 1:17:23
  Speaker 2: then another shot, splintering something wooden across the room. I
• 1:17:27
  Speaker 2: keep cutting and biting and swallowing, moldy gelatins sliding down
• 1:17:31
  Speaker 2: my throat, Maggot's ripping between my teeth and the broken
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 2: down fibers as I force it all down my gallet
• 1:17:39
  Speaker 2: and on the bed, the skin of his face slothing,
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 2: slopping off his limbs.
• 1:17:43
  Speaker 3: Separate, separate fingers from.
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 2: Hands, hands from arms, arms from torso, head from body
• 1:17:50
  Speaker 2: pulling apart under its own weight, like so much meat
• 1:17:53
  Speaker 2: in a slow cooked roast. His blood releasing releases onto
• 1:17:58
  Speaker 2: the floor in a wave of violence, in a great
• 1:18:00
  Speaker 2: slushing sound, like the breaking of an amnionic sack. His
• 1:18:04
  Speaker 2: body parts slumping to the floor, scattered across the ground,
• 1:18:08
  Speaker 2: his mattress soaking red with blood turning to black. I
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 2: chew frantically on the last taste of the seemingly endless
• 1:18:15
  Speaker 2: meal as the fireplace unleashes one final deluge of sparks
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 2: and flames, catching the cascading curtains across the room a blaze.
• 1:18:24
  Speaker 2: More bullets fly around me. Desperate screams and howling fill
• 1:18:27
  Speaker 2: the room, My ears flooded with the sounds inside my
• 1:18:30
  Speaker 2: own mouth, while a high pitched wailing screeches through my mouth.
• 1:18:34
  Speaker 3: I swallow, the meal is done.
• 1:18:37
  Speaker 2: What I thought were bullets meant for me were the
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 2: men shooting at each other.
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 3: In the haze of the smoke filled room.
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 2: As the fire spreads to every combustible object and chaos
• 1:18:48
  Speaker 2: and folds all around me, I see his family and
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 2: his henchmen tearing each other apart like a pack of
• 1:18:52
  Speaker 2: savage dogs. Drunken with the scent of blood, dispunching air
• 1:18:57
  Speaker 2: being torn out by the roots, teeth gnashing and biting,
• 1:19:00
  Speaker 2: gun and biting on sorry, teeth snatching and biting, gunshots, screams,
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 2: and heavy thuds as flaming bodies collapse, wrappling each other
• 1:19:09
  Speaker 2: to the floor. The bones and flesh in front of
• 1:19:11
  Speaker 2: me have coalesced into a formless black mound, its outer
• 1:19:16
  Speaker 2: surface hardening into an armor that suddenly sprouts legs, antanna
• 1:19:21
  Speaker 2: and chittering mandibles. An army of ants and beetles and
• 1:19:25
  Speaker 2: cockroaches and earwads and spiders and ticks and flease swarm
• 1:19:29
  Speaker 2: over every surface in the room, blanketing the riffing bodies
• 1:19:32
  Speaker 2: of Philip's family and his men, until there is nothing
• 1:19:35
  Speaker 2: left but death.
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 3: Geez, I collapse to my knee.
• 1:19:39
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I collapse to my knees, untouched by the swarming insects,
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: terrified to release what is.
• 1:19:44
  Speaker 3: Inside of me.
• 1:19:45
  Speaker 2: But there's no holding this back any longer. As my jaw,
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 2: stressed is wider than I ever thought possible, My eyes
• 1:19:52
  Speaker 2: bulged to the point of bursting, my body locks in
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 2: a convulsive rigor, and I release a torrent of white
• 1:19:58
  Speaker 2: feathers into the room, so he actually does manage to
• 1:20:05
  Speaker 2: purify this dude, and the sin that ends up being
• 1:20:09
  Speaker 2: released is like.
• 1:20:11
  Speaker 9: A let me see.
• 1:20:23
  Speaker 2: The only thing he ends up releasing after absolving the
• 1:20:26
  Speaker 2: sin was a white dove.
• 1:20:29
  Speaker 1: A white dove.
• 1:20:30
  Speaker 3: Yep eh. Yeah. The thing is is that like.
• 1:20:43
  Speaker 2: He could not actually absolve Philip with all his sins,
• 1:20:48
  Speaker 2: but his sins have been I guess right, So says
• 1:20:51
  Speaker 2: here like like this is like the last couple of
• 1:20:55
  Speaker 2: paragraphs of the of the story, and this is after
• 1:20:59
  Speaker 2: like he had left, he left the mansion. Everyone in
• 1:21:02
  Speaker 2: the mansion is dead now because what happened. And it's
• 1:21:05
  Speaker 2: burning to the ground. You know, I'm frozen to the bone,
• 1:21:08
  Speaker 2: and yet I'm burning with heat. I'm rippling with disgust,
• 1:21:12
  Speaker 2: and yet coated it, yet coated in peace. He has
• 1:21:15
  Speaker 2: not been absolved. He has been recognized and taken. Lumbering
• 1:21:20
  Speaker 2: in the woods to my left is a peculiar presence,
• 1:21:23
  Speaker 2: surrounded by glowing eyes, snorting in the darkness as it
• 1:21:26
  Speaker 2: stomps through the undergrowth, snow burying everything around it, and
• 1:21:29
  Speaker 2: as a glint of moonlight slips out from behind the
• 1:21:32
  Speaker 2: looming clouds, it is gone. I've kept my word, and
• 1:21:35
  Speaker 2: so has he what comes next. I honestly don't know.
• 1:21:38
  Speaker 3: So it sounds like he.
• 1:21:39
  Speaker 2: Did give birth to something unless it was like like
• 1:21:43
  Speaker 2: it doesn't really like explain what.
• 1:21:46
  Speaker 1: Was released, but something wasn't released. Yep, it was.
• 1:21:52
  Speaker 2: Something, unless that was like, uh, yeah, so but Kaylk.
• 1:22:00
  Speaker 2: It's implied that Kaylek ends up leaving his community to
• 1:22:03
  Speaker 2: travel around, just like Sebastian did. Uh, but that was
• 1:22:09
  Speaker 2: This was probably one of the most grotesque books I've
• 1:22:12
  Speaker 2: ever read. Like the only other book that I've read
• 1:22:16
  Speaker 2: that can come close to like just how filthy it
• 1:22:19
  Speaker 2: is is how uh the Hell Down Heart the hell
• 1:22:26
  Speaker 2: Raiser book Held Down Heart by Clive Parker.
• 1:22:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:22:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but like I mean, I liked it. It was
• 1:22:35
  Speaker 3: definitely like it was I got what I paid for,
• 1:22:38
  Speaker 3: that's for sure.
• 1:22:39
  Speaker 5: Yeah.
• 1:22:40
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I still think the grossest book I ever read
• 1:22:44
  Speaker 1: was a wombom womb Yeah, and that's one that will
• 1:22:51
  Speaker 1: probably never talk about. I thought about for a minute,
• 1:22:54
  Speaker 1: y'all that one to talk about it, But then I
• 1:22:56
  Speaker 1: started thinking about my hmmm, how no, no, you want
• 1:23:02
  Speaker 1: to fuck up?
• 1:23:04
  Speaker 2: Look at me, look at me, no, give me, come here,
• 1:23:07
  Speaker 2: believe me, let me.
• 1:23:08
  Speaker 3: No.
• 1:23:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that was Jacob, you told me now, you
• 1:23:11
  Speaker 1: told me now, and good reason, because good reason.
• 1:23:14
  Speaker 3: That book had themes of child the Beast.
• 1:23:17
  Speaker 1: Oh that book, yeah, that book has themes of No,
• 1:23:20
  Speaker 1: you're talking about earthlings? Well that well, no, that one's
• 1:23:23
  Speaker 1: that one. That one too, that one too, but earthlings,
• 1:23:26
  Speaker 1: and I do want to talk about that one, and
• 1:23:28
  Speaker 1: I still might fight for that one later, but boom, yeah,
• 1:23:31
  Speaker 1: there's no way for that one. So yeah, now, I know, gross,
• 1:23:34
  Speaker 1: this this book sounds like it could be a good movie.
• 1:23:38
  Speaker 2: I think it would probably make a good movie if
• 1:23:40
  Speaker 2: like maybe if Shutter makes like a short movie out
• 1:23:43
  Speaker 2: of it or something, it would it would definitely be watch.
• 1:23:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah. But yeah, but yeah, so that was we So this.
• 1:23:52
  Speaker 2: Was Incarnate by Richard Thomas. So you want something different,
• 1:23:56
  Speaker 2: because I wanted something different, all right. You know we
• 1:23:58
  Speaker 2: talk about which you know, there's books about witches. There's
• 1:24:02
  Speaker 2: books about witch doctors, shaman right, like things that we
• 1:24:06
  Speaker 2: see like in Hollywood all the time. If you want
• 1:24:09
  Speaker 2: something different, I'd definitely go with Incarnate because it does
• 1:24:12
  Speaker 2: have themes of like a witch doctor shaman like element,
• 1:24:15
  Speaker 2: but instead of it like being like some dude who's
• 1:24:18
  Speaker 2: wearing like you know, like who's wearing reeds of bones
• 1:24:22
  Speaker 2: and like feathers in his hair, shaking like a rattle,
• 1:24:25
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 1:24:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, doing some stupid stuff like that.
• 1:24:28
  Speaker 2: You know, we just got like a we just had
• 1:24:30
  Speaker 2: a regular guy who literally eats the sins of debt
• 1:24:34
  Speaker 2: of the dead and gives birth to crazy creatures. Like
• 1:24:38
  Speaker 2: the creatures that he was giving that he gave birth
• 1:24:40
  Speaker 2: to were insane, all right, They were recognizable in a way,
• 1:24:44
  Speaker 2: but yet they were subtly different and like all the
• 1:24:47
  Speaker 2: more just like like Ratchet, Like you know, the Spider
• 1:24:52
  Speaker 2: was probably the worst one.
• 1:24:54
  Speaker 3: Like, like it was either the spider or the polar
• 1:24:57
  Speaker 3: Bear for me, like the polar bear.
• 1:24:59
  Speaker 2: Just the way the polar it was, like just how
• 1:25:02
  Speaker 2: violently it gave he gave birth to it, and just
• 1:25:04
  Speaker 2: how vicious it looked. Yeah, it was described that one
• 1:25:08
  Speaker 2: was pretty wild. Yeah, and I was just thinking, my god, we.
• 1:25:12
  Speaker 3: Got to turn this into it.
• 1:25:13
  Speaker 2: We got to turn this into like a homebrew D
• 1:25:16
  Speaker 2: and D class, right sin either, Oh, that would.
• 1:25:19
  Speaker 1: Be so good.
• 1:25:21
  Speaker 3: It's like honestly, it's like it would probably be like
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 3: a neck.
• 1:25:24
  Speaker 2: They would probably be like something like a necromancer or
• 1:25:26
  Speaker 2: subclass or like a like a Druid subclass.
• 1:25:29
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, I could see like a drew, like a
• 1:25:31
  Speaker 1: druid subclass, or even a cleric subclass.
• 1:25:36
  Speaker 3: I feel like it's more of a Druid because it's
• 1:25:37
  Speaker 3: like nature.
• 1:25:38
  Speaker 2: There's like a lot of themes, and they like nature
• 1:25:40
  Speaker 2: here and how they're trying to preserve like Sebastians trying
• 1:25:43
  Speaker 2: to preserve the balance.
• 1:25:44
  Speaker 3: Of nature, especially because like the rifts that are.
• 1:25:47
  Speaker 2: Opening into this other world, like him using the sins
• 1:25:51
  Speaker 2: of bad people to keep these monsters from coming over
• 1:25:57
  Speaker 2: into our world to fight these monsters. That is something
• 1:26:00
  Speaker 2: great like that right there. That's like I feel like
• 1:26:04
  Speaker 2: that's more like, oh okay, somewhere between, Like I think
• 1:26:06
  Speaker 2: that's somewhere between like cleric and druid. Yeah, but he's
• 1:26:10
  Speaker 2: maintaining like that, he's maintaining maintaining a balance.
• 1:26:14
  Speaker 3: So and it wasn't really religious either. He wasn't like
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 3: praying to.
• 1:26:17
  Speaker 2: God or like uh like in its spirits or anything
• 1:26:20
  Speaker 2: like that. It was just more of like, okay, well,
• 1:26:22
  Speaker 2: everyone has their own personal beliefs on like where they
• 1:26:24
  Speaker 2: go in the afterlife, so like my job is just
• 1:26:26
  Speaker 2: to like make it to where they can they can
• 1:26:28
  Speaker 2: leave with a clean conscience. You know, they can there
• 1:26:32
  Speaker 2: can leave, they can cross over without anything holding them back.
• 1:26:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, m hm.
• 1:26:40
  Speaker 2: But yeah, though, I will say there was one thing
• 1:26:43
  Speaker 2: I was a little disappointed about in this book was
• 1:26:45
  Speaker 2: that it implied that because he died, that we were
• 1:26:50
  Speaker 2: going to see like a massive board of these creatures.
• 1:26:53
  Speaker 3: Coming over from the rift, and uh, it was gonna
• 1:26:57
  Speaker 3: be up to Klic to.
• 1:27:01
  Speaker 2: A fight them back, like step in and you'se hit
• 1:27:06
  Speaker 2: the power literal the literal power of sin to fight
• 1:27:09
  Speaker 2: them back. But that didn't happen, and I was a
• 1:27:12
  Speaker 2: little disappointed. But at the same time, I'm like, all right, well, like,
• 1:27:17
  Speaker 2: oh well, okay, it was still a good book. I
• 1:27:19
  Speaker 2: enjoyed it, Like this is the only book I've read
• 1:27:22
  Speaker 2: of Richard Thomas. And I will say, if you do
• 1:27:27
  Speaker 2: pick it up, it does have a disclaimer in the
• 1:27:29
  Speaker 2: front where with like, of course the copyright information like

  Speaker 2: graphic sexual content, depictions of suicide, animal abuse, and violence.
• 1:27:41
  Speaker 2: So so you have been warned and just know that,
• 1:27:46
  Speaker 2: like that these themes are present in the book and

  Speaker 3: I will say that because.
• 1:27:53
  Speaker 2: Just from what I just like read to you guys,
• 1:27:55
  Speaker 2: that was pretty graphic, you know, And that's not the
• 1:28:00
  Speaker 2: only scene like that in this book, I think, honestly,
• 1:28:04
  Speaker 2: I think the scene where Sebastian was forced to consume
• 1:28:08
  Speaker 2: the sins of all the this of all the corpses
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 2: that were left in.
• 1:28:11
  Speaker 3: His yard was the worst simply because he ends up
• 1:28:16
  Speaker 3: dying as a result of it. And that was really fun.
• 1:28:21
  Speaker 7: But yeah, so uh yeah. But if you guys want
• 1:28:28

• 1:29:07
  Speaker 1: I mean, it's yeah, and the book sounds, it sounds.
• 1:29:11
  Speaker 1: It's the books terrifying. I like the idea of eating
• 1:29:14
  Speaker 1: sin now and then birthing something.
• 1:29:17
  Speaker 2: Mm hmm the same, Like honestly, like pitch that idea
• 1:29:21
  Speaker 2: to James, just be like, okay, so the character who
• 1:29:24
  Speaker 2: literally it is like a necromancer type class, but he
• 1:29:28
  Speaker 2: eats the sins of the spirits of the deceased and
• 1:29:31
  Speaker 2: then he gives birth to a monster birth from those sins.
• 1:29:40
  Speaker 1: Might almost put that my nagin. That my nogin for
• 1:29:44
  Speaker 1: future for future references, along with the tape worn fair
• 1:29:49
  Speaker 1: tapeporn fairy.
• 1:29:52
  Speaker 3: I gotta watch that movie now.
• 1:29:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, because what I was because what I was thinking
• 1:29:56
  Speaker 1: is like, oh my god, a little fairy, like a
• 1:30:00
  Speaker 1: mosquito type fa going around, gets on top of you,
• 1:30:05
  Speaker 1: sucks your blood, but implants a parasite, and that parasite
• 1:30:10
  Speaker 1: ends up like being like a fairy tapeworm abomination. Oh,
• 1:30:14
  Speaker 1: it's gonna be crows. And I'm like, I can have
• 1:30:17
  Speaker 1: it eat magic and then like over time, if you
• 1:30:20
  Speaker 1: don't do anything about it, you will lose spell slots permanently.
• 1:30:25
