Interview with a Monster

Humorous contemplation leads to an interview with a beautiful stranger.

Is Cousin It a Kejōrō? The spooky world of cryptids brings us this: 5 Yokai you can find in the Red Lantern District. It’s spooky! It’s fun. And one of them got me thinking, “Oh, Cousin it!” while singing the musical Hair. I suppose if there is a going to be horror show, there should be some musical numbers.

Where do monsters come from? What is a monster? There is a question still unresolved? Are humans monsters? From the monster’s perspective- they’re just people, and humans are stranger things. A new social twist in human affairs suggest the game D&D is racist because it’s populated with halflings. If there are halflings, isn’t that just evidence for love?

Spread the love! Make more halflings.

To try and answer some of these questions, I have taken the risk to interview a monster for you. What transpires is a transcript of an interview with a beautiful monster. Who is the beauty, who is the beast, only you can decide. We look in the mirror daily and are met with either dark, mysterious archetypes, rarely with our reality.

They say the mirror can’t lie. What looks into the mirror can.

Summoning monsters, 20 sided save!

Ummm, where am I?

“Sorry for the blindfold. It was necessary to disguise the way.”

Why do you hide the way?

“Humans get upset when all their males wander off to consort with dragons. Did you ever watch Monster Musume?”

That’s kind of fun. I suspect it was satire, male lamenting the fact they no longer understand the female. That or the social requirements necessary for being considered worthy are so great that most men are driven to despair and hanging forests, but instead the trope allows for men to suppress their lusts and blame women, monsters, for drawing it out of them.
