This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Is there something behind this premise? I’m noticing it more and more lately, between Elden ring, ender lilies, assorted flesh and/or consciousness blobs in D&D, fullmetal alchemist, etc.. Have there always been stories about horrific amalgamations of humanity pulled together in a state between malignant rage and maddening existential horror? Or is this a recent thought?

Some more examples of the trope: the antagonists of the Scholomance books, and of The Interface Series
