Welcome to the Weirdness Support Group! Please read the rules. This is a safe space for people who have been through experiences that most wouldn’t believe. Be respectful and we shouldn’t have any problems.

We’ve been getting a lot of trolls so I’m changing some settings. It’ll be a little harder to find this, but hopefully it will deter the trolls.

Tulip | Pinned Post
I’m considering deleting this group. I was hoping to find others who had been through something similar to me, but it’s been a hotspot for trolls instead.

Hi! I’ve been a bit of a lurker here. not a troll, promise! But I’m curious what you mean by “something similar to me.” Is there specific criteria about what the weirdness is to join bc I’m not sure I’d meet those requirements–you’ve mentioned a train before but my weirdness is more along the lines of spooky haunted stuff
Tulip
No, there’s no specific criteria. But I didn’t know if there was weirdness outside of the Train, so it’s hard to figure out who’s telling the truth and who’s trolling/making fun of us. TBH, I thought other former passengers would find this. I hoped, anyway. I guess it was kind of a long shot?
imdeadinside
yeah ive never been a passenger on a train
imdeadinside
wait that’s not true
imdeadinside
there was this one incident but I doubt u were there
imdeadinside
unless you’re secretly a ghost??
Tulip
No. Are you secretly a ghost?
imdeadinside
For legal reasons I can’t answer that question
Tulip
Fair. I don’t think there were any ghosts on the Train.
imdeadinside
What is the Train anyway? You’ve mentioned it a lot
imdeadinside
if ur comfortable sharing
Tulip
The Train is a train that has an infinite amount of cars. Each car is sort of like its own little world or pocket dimension. It’s supposed to help you work through your issues, and to be fair, it did help me and I made great friends. But I was also missing for 5 months.
imdeadinside
so like, therapy but evil?
Tulip
I wouldn’t call it evil, no. More like… chaotic neutral? I’m not sure if the Train itself has any sort of sentience, but I was friends with the conductor—the rightful one anyway, long story—and he definitely has good intentions. He’s a sweet little guy. How about you? What does “spooky haunted stuff” entail?
imdeadinside
Literal ghost town. My parents thought it was a good idea to build an interdimensional portal in our basement and it worked! Buuut now ghosts attack several times a week
Tulip
Sounds rough. Also, interdimensional basement portal? Ghosts? Guess it’s not any weirder than therapy train and talking corgis but wow. Unless you’re a troll creating an elaborate story, but I don’t get that vibe from you.
imdeadinside
we can match each other’s weird. As a treat. xD
Tulip
XD
Dipping Sauce
i just want to second that ghosts exist. I went to a haunted convenience store once and it was not great.
Dipping Sauce
The ghosts there hated teenagers and I was with a bunch of them
imdeadinside
dude, ghosts can be a real pain. How’d you get out of there?
Dipping Sauce
I wasn’t a teenager. Let’s leave it at that.
imdeadinside
did all the other teens make it out?
Dipping Sauce
Yes.
Tulip
Is it just ghosts for you two?
Dipping Sauce
No, I’m visiting my great uncle’s and this town is insane and I love it. There are gnomes and zombies and stuff. The zombies are why I decided to join. They happened last night.
imdeadinside
Gnomes?
Tulip
Zombies?
Dipping Sauce
Yeah! The gnomes tried kidnapping my sister to make her their new queen. We used a leaf blower on them. And the zombies were my fault. There’s this journal that has information on all the weirdness of this place and it has an incantation for raising the dead. I was trying to prove this place’s weirdness to a couple government guys and I opened the Journal to a random page and… yeah.
Tulip
But why is there an incantation for raising the dead?
imdeadinside
ew the government
imdeadinside
but seriously, you don’t want the gov to know about anything weird. not a good idea, trust me, I speak from Experience™
Tulip
What did they do?
imdeadinside
they don’t like ghosts
imdeadinside
ghost town > government
Tulip
That… doesn’t really explain anything?
imdeadinside
the government and i have beef ^^
Dipping Sauce
I just wanted someone to listen to me. My grunkle was pretending the weird stuff in this town doesn’t exist and it was frustrating. But I think the zombies got them so it’s probably fine
imdeadinside
“the zombies got them so it’s fine” take the L, rando gov pple
Tulip
...I have concerns about how you both are taking the death and/or zombification of two people
imdeadinside
I mean, I am concerned about Dipping Sauce’s general chillness with potential accidental homicide, but I cope with humor.
Tulip
Makes sense, I guess. And I guess my friends did sorta melt some people once. But they were trying to kill someone and I think they lived??
Tulip
The people who melted lived, that is
Tulip
imdeadinside, you still here?
imdeadinside
I’m here. It’s just that I had a bad experience that involved people melting
imdeadinside
Most of them didn’t live.
Tulip
Oh
Tulip
Sorry to bring that up
imdeadinside
I mean, it is the weirdness support group. We’re supposed to talk about stuff, right?
Tulip
Yeah, but we don’t have to go into anything that traumatic, especially not this quickly. Plus, I don’t think I’ve weeded out all the trolls yet.
imdeadinside
Well, what about moving to a group with just you, me, and Dipping Sauce? I understand if not, but it would probably help with the trolls. Lol.
Tulip
That could be a good idea!
imdeadinside
Actually Dipping Sauce might be a troll with the whole “zombies may have eaten government agents” thing.
Tulip
Where is he anyway?
Dipping Sauce
Hiiii!!!!! This is his twin sister. He’s having a crisis about accidentally getting people got by zombies so I’m helping him through a panic attack. Hey, can I join so that I can make sure you don’t send him into any more panic attacks???!!!
imdeadinside
Oof, panic attacks suck. Also, how old are you? Just ‘cause you type like someone fairly young and if you’re his twin and he accidentally zombified pple last night…
Dipping Sauce
None of your biz, internet stranger! Who will hopefully be an internet friend soon!
Tulip
I’m privately sending you both a link to a new group with just us. And yes, you can join, Dipping Sauce’s sister.
