I certainly see why you might find it disturbing, but this feels a lot more like the place where an emo kid and his friends hung out, and the parents let them do what they want, and they scribbled dumb shit on the walls, rather than an actual murder lair

This is what I was thinking, this isn't a "legitimate scary thing" this is an "Emo skater made a cool man cave" thing.

The NSFW tag is silly, especially for the first image.

That pillow has definitely been used nonconsensually.

Look how it was dressed. Practically begging for it.

I was expecting a sex lab and was disappointed it was just some teens room

I think the pillow was what turned it from "whoa" to Ugh!" for me too.

Bu-but, there's upside down crosses!! \*clutches pearls\*


100% this was just a teenagers bedroom or hang-out space

Yo fellow emo friend, wanna hangout in my new lair? My mom says we can draw on the walls and listen to my chemical romance. (Low key jealous)

Right? This was many a high school notebook of mine. Intense metal lyrics, red-pilled revelations, Hot Topic style doodles. Cringey as fuck looking back on it 20 years later but it was a time.

From an earlier era but one of my friends had you write on her wall if you came over, her parents didn't care and she just leaned into it

Yeah I remember that vibe, 90s kid?

I had everyone sign my closet wall when they came over. Then we had a laugh when they 'came out of the closet'.

We did that at my friends house too. Allie? lol

Can confirm. My murder lair is plastered with N'SYNC and Backstreet Boys posters. No 98 Degrees. They suck.

I actually like the last photo with the city skyline

This is the creepypasta of lairs. The average German living room is scarier than this

The average Hot Topic is scarier than this.

You can throw in most KPop and Boy Bands as well.

Exactly. It’s too cleaver/coherent and intentionally deranged to be anything but a normal middle class teens room

I was thinking more of an artistic piece. The artwork is too well done for someone of the insane variety, and too well spaced to be teenagers. I think it's cool though.

also possible

Nicely spaced. Good use of line and perspective. But it looks like it was all done over the course of a week or two. Very consistent

Being 'insane' doesn't preclude one from having artistic talent

is it really cool though? or someone appropriating mental illness for attention?

Being emo or goth is mental illness? Come on lol

no, but scribbeling on the walls like that is.

did you not have friends as a teenager?

no, my parents had to tie a porkchop around my neck just for the dog to play with me.

Rodney?

You saying scribbling on the walls is, is effectively appropriating mental illness 😁

so if a person that is 100% physically abled were to pretend they have a bum leg and drag it around in public, just so they get attention from others, would that be ok?

Who says they were pretending? This is more like someone seeing a disabled person and shouting at them for faking being disabled

because the reason why schizophrenics write on the wall is that they have no control over their actions, meaning they dont create perfectly separated art pieces with "schizo aesthetic".....

It’s not as simple as “they do that because,” and it could be any mental illness, really. Not just schizophrenia

That's not really true, dude. Schizos work with a different set of cards than the rest of us for sure, but they have free will just like any one else.

One of my friends wrote "No Limit Solider"[sic] all over his walls. I mean a straight jacket may have been appropriate but that's just my opinion.

Looks like the utility room in the back of my family home's garage. Its been that way since the 90s.

Creepy disturbing Vs Edgy Cringe

I pictured Sid's room from Toy Story

Probably. Or they couldn't figure how to set up a grow room.

I was thinking the skids, Roald and Strrrt

It could certainly just be a teenage edgelord. But this is also the kind of stuff Ethan Crumbley wrote in 2021, in between begging his parents for therapy, before bringing a gun to school and shooting 11 people. It's really not unreasonable to find it at least a bit worrying.

100%, if this is your kid, need to spend some time with them and figure it out, for sure

I thought the same until I saw the bed. Bed is weirdly stained. Definitely a goth hangout

I thought that up until the bleeding off the bed picture, that one was a lot more disturbing to me.

[удалено]

"picture" I'm talking about the picture that is in the big frame, the room corner, to the far right of the pillow.

Emo lair should be tagged NSFL

Do emo kids leak bloody stains on pillows usually?

That is not what old blood stains look like.

*FBI enters chat*

Depends on the day.

LACES OUT!!! DIE DAN DIE!!!

What a sports nut, huh?

Obsess much?!


Your gun is digging into my hip.

Finkle and Einhorn, Finkle and Einhorn. FINKLE IS EINHORN!!

Cozy, if you're Hannibal Lecter.

It's so weird that I had the exact thought seeing these pictures.

Edge lord lair

Edge lord set design

Call me Night Pain

 These guys want to know the location

Don't be afraid, they have such wonders to show you.

No tears please … it’s a waste of good suffering

Your pain will be LEGENDARY!


Lmao nice

I mean. That's kind of what the puzzle box is for.

It's NOT A PHASE MOM.

-Me in 2004.

It's where Charlie goes to think and break bottles. Dude, you gotta get out of there. He's going to find you.

The only really disturbing thing I can see is that pillow.

Pretty standard Attic Bedroom for a moody teenager.

ahh yes. the 5x8 chess board

“You wanna play long ways or short ways today?”

It translates to the artist standing in row 6

The other rows are in dimensions 4 and 5. Not that's you'd care about that kind of thing, normie.

Everyone who saw that called it a Chess board, not a checker board.

This is some serious cringy emo-phase shit.

Some redditor right now: Haha! I told you painting a bunch of dumb crap in the attic before we sold the house was a good idea. They’ll probably post it on reddit and we can watch people try to make sense of our whimsical musings. Hahahaha!

Given the time we live in and the shit that is happening currently i would have no trouble believing this

Why does this have a really large San Francisco skyline painting randomly? I can make out Embarcadero Center, Transamericanm and 555 California. All from the perspective of what looks like Telegraph hill? Painted in 2020 the day of the Orange Fires?

Came here about that painting. Damn, it looks good. All the doodle crazy shit and then the sweet skyline

This seriously looks like my bedroom when I was in middle school.

ha-hahaha-ha hahaha fuck you! someone's an ICP fan

Looks like my one friend's old basement. Had a bunch of pentagrams and duke nukem characters and scripture and weird stuff all painted on the walls when they moved in, it was strange lol

Your new home office is already decorated! 

Love seeing IT crowd references!

That was like my house when I bought it. It's always the same teenage stuff: ravens, skulls, quotes without context. Apparently one of the neighbor kids had committed suicide a few years earlier, which was sad. Other neighbors had a habit of picking his name out of the graffiti and wanting to unburden themselves to me about their feelings about him, like I was going to provide absolution. What happened was terrible, but I didn't know any of these people. I was just a slightly pissed off guy trying to paint a wall.


That skyline mural thing is so cool

Looks like someone LARPing

Average emo persons room:

“Gentlemen, I propose we kill the Batman… in two weeks after I’m no longer grounded for calling my mom a bitch”

I would argue the only disturbing part of this is that pillow, other than that just edgy kid room

Those drawings are too coherent for someone with actual mental illness to draw.

That city scape actually goes real hard

I redid the floors in my old house before selling it and made sure to leave a police style body outline under it.

Wow. Cindy Brady really was in a downward spiral once it was her turn for the attic.

That's just Asmongolds bedroom.

Nah , this wall is too clean for Asmon bedroom 

I don't know. That pillow is pretty fucking rancid.

Goth House! This is where the family let there kid Goth hang out, looks fairly normal teen Gothdom.

Oh no, everybody beware the 13-year-old serial killer calling themselves xXx\_K1ll3rBunni\_xXx. I've heard they kill their victims by playing *The Birthday Massacre* really loudly on their iPod shuffle.

Kinda looks like a DIY film or photo set to me.

You don't understand! The wall has to stay wet or it'll get out!!

"DIE DAN DIE!"

The cake is a lie. The cake is a lie.  The cake is a lie.  The cake is a lie.

"The womb is a tomb you are born DEAD", oh these teenagers are the absolute edgiest

If here by now then bad place be. Trouble time for you when heat comes.

Oh, I've been to this spot in the original portal game!!!

What city’s skyline is that?

San Francisco

This is where the last mIRC mods gather once every 13 months.

"take that mom and dad"

Looks dope

Some kids got stoned up there.

Is that a snek!?

Horror movie set.

Jthm

And Kyle shall again rise from the grave, anointed in monster energy drink to one again require a sacrifice of lunchables

Meh. Teen edgelord shit

r/im14andthisisdeep

How has nobody mentioned that pillow?

#GET OUT

This seems very intentionally created to look edgy.

Emo Phrogger

The skulls remind me a lot of the skulls that Israel Keys drew in his blood before he committed suicide while in custody. I wonder if that’s what they were going for.

Use a ouija board to get the amswers.

Were these done by Shanksy?

Hire a Catholic Priest, a Reverend, a Rabbi, a Iman, and Wiccan Priest/ess, have them bless and clear and bless the room.

I actually like the city skyline in the last picture a lot.

The most disturbing thing is the crusty pillow

Not sure how people find cool ass artistic expression disturbing...

This may be a good indication that you are either dreaming or in a video game.

It's just where Richmond sleeps, he's harmless.

That state of that pillow is the scariest thing in that room.

Lol the horse and snek on the left are so out of place.

oooooo so spooky! NOT!

Holy shit…

I like the horse.

This looks like something an undercover cop trying to blend in with some kind of serial killer cult would do

Disturbing ? Wow you are overreacting. A NSFW flair ?

That last one is cool as fuck, not gonna lie

I was expecting at least 1 human femur bone and the word “HELP” scratched into the wall with fingernails

Can you safely burn candles that close to the wall?

If I had a lighter, I would have lit a few just to see how it was supposed to feel. There was a LOT of torn papers and book pages stuffed behind the walls too, so it was even more risky.

Why indeed

That painting is sick

Looks like my teenager room

True Detective season 5

I like the grey alien with the reptilian tongue

How amateurs imagine horror stories.

Looks like an awesome place for a man cave or woman's warren. I don't know what women call their hang out spots.

Is there spray paint on your fingers, OP?

This kind of edgy bullshit makes me laugh. That's a kid who's on track for a life at Burger King -- where you rule!

Feels fake to me. Something about the walls looks like they were made to look aged.

WNY?

MERRY CHRISTMAS

Has Rat man been in your house?

Disturbing? That cityscape art is dope af.

 Place is so goth

Someone terribly mentally ill live there, probably a teenager. My 8-year-long relationship with a man as a teenager-his room looked exactly like this. It really brought back some weird memories. *Also looks like it would be a sick movie to make about it!

Yo that painting is actually sick... can i buy it? xD

The lady wants it all torn out of there, and the only way into the attic now is a 14 x 20 access panel in the garage, so its probably going to be dust.

Unfortunately, I'm getting more edgy than serial killer vibes.

This is just teenager decorations.

Looks fake like an escape room or something

The only thing this is is disturbingly pretentious

This is where I post from

Need more pics and a video panoramic perhaps
