This is the type of thing that makes me doubly glad I’ve blocked all Facebook & Facebook-adjacent domains.
Me petting the flesh cube with blinking eye sitting next to the Necronomicon: Animatronic?
Make it stop,Mommy! Make it stop!
If you’re asking me, not much at all. David Cronenberg would probably have a different answer.
Is it blinking in Morse code? What’s it trying to say?

Oh.
I don’t own this model … oh wait its not a … … never mind.
It bothers me that the sides of the cube aren’t straighter. And don’t even get me started on how poorly weighted that thing looks. If it came up eyeball once, it’ll probably come up eyeball nine times out of ten.
Pink skins!
Just once I wanted there to be a scene where he said that to Ensign Mayweather.
“Set a course for Andoria, pink-skin!”
“The fuck did you just call me?”
Oh. So it’s a d’eye! I’ll show myself out.
Want to see if your boss really, really thinks you deserve that raise he promised you? Then grab your eyeball cube, see him in his office, don’t say anything, close the door, hold the cube up to him, and stroke the cube for 2 minutes… minimum, then walk out.

I freaking love it and I want hundreds of them and I want to release them into the wild, like dump them in the streets. Well, maybe once people are back outside and stuff.
I have no mouth, but I must scream?

Yep, that’s what I was thinking of.
When I was in college , a friend gave me the story collection I Have No Mouth And I must Scream and warned me not to read it in one sitting. I should have listened to him.
