A big thank you to Zyn and Lazar for giving me crit in the forums and in chat! Oneiroi is one of my favorite groups of interest, and Fifthism is also one of my favorite groups of interest, so I put them in a blender and churned out an eldritch abomination that Lovecraft ain't got nothin' on.
Questions regarding my headcanons for Fifthism and Oneiroi are welcome, but know in advance that I will not completely answer questions about what I think about Fifthism is, as I feel it works better when everyone comes up to their own conclusions.

Thank you for reading, and I hope you enjoyed!

Clever. The Fifthism seems well-integrated into the world of Oneiroi, and the Oneiroi format definitely deserves more use.

Is there any reason you didn't use the header logo like in Number 27?

RecursiveRecursion 02 Mar 2018 04:20

It was my understanding that the original image that Number 27 used was created by someone who left the site and took down all the art that they had made for it while doing so. I didn't want to use that image if they didn't want it used.
That said, if it turns out that the one Number 27 uses is a different image, I'll be sure to incorporate it into this one as well. Er, assuming the creator of that is ok with it.

I really enjoyed reading this, which is…honestly a rarity these days as much as I wish it wasn't.

Easy +1. Thank you for writing this :)

RecursiveRecursion 02 Mar 2018 15:37

I aim to please! Thanks!

I loved the writing and the formatting; it does a wonderful job of giving the story a joyful guise in an effort to hide the dark truth behind it.

Also, it's hilarious. "Double weird," "fukken rekt," the shameless plug to visit another "subreddist" (I hate these plugs with every ounce of my being).

More Oneiroi GoI formats (especially ones that do memorably weird stuff) are always fun to see.

+1

What the fluff is with these posts, this is at least the fifth one today?

I like how quickly the connection to fifthism is foreshadowed.

Scary

just when i read enough to stop fearing the Oneiroi. i stumble upon this…

So that new thing is another hive mind, aggressively infecting others to spread itself and absorb as much Oneirois as possible.

Can we declare a war at that? I dont want my precious dream space corrupted by god know what kind of nightmarish entity from god know where…
Also could this be the entity behind SCP-3060?

I generally like to read things on here with an upvoting criteria aside from anything else of "if this was an independent story and I had no knowledge of SCP deep lore, would I enjoy it?", and this also doesn't pass the rabbit with two brains test, as you don't really need to introduce fifthism to Oneiroi (as they tend to each be unknowable things) to enhance a Oneiroi tale, meaning it's extremely difficult, given, and building a Oneiroi or fifthist tale, respectively, requires a certain foothold in reality to give the dreamlike elements a pass, but I read SCP so +1.
