"Don'tcha wanna squeeze'im?" by draysonite

October really does seem to be bringing out the more haunting of the DeviantArt beasties, an example of which we can see in this next piece by artist draysonite.


Some sort of fiendish transformation seems to be happening here. A wizard has cursed this poor boy to live out the rest of his days as a teddy-bear amputee. Or maybe this is a college prank?

"Hey Tom," says Hank, "you know our amputee roomate, Bill? I have a great idea for a prank. What if one day we stick some ears and face-paint on him and make him think he's transformed into a creepy man-bear?"

Though the weirdest - THE weirdest thing about this situation is the artist's comment. It ignores the picture altogether, choosing instead to give students advice on time management.

"Adjusting to dormitory life can be difficult," it reads, "The newly discovered freedoms are wondrous indeed. Watch what you want t," o watch. Hang out with whomever you wish to hang out with. And how wonderful to not be yelled at if you don't get out of bed on time.

BUT

With that freedom comes a sort of lonely responsibility. You are now in charge of getting yourself up. You're supposed to monitor your leisure time. And you're not supposed to hang out with just anyone. People can bring you down, you know, bad influences and all that.

SO

Let this be a word of warning. Skipping classes to sleep in because you and your friends feel more comfortable being night-owls is bound to be detrimental. Trust me, this is for your own good.

And, in the future, if you avoid signing up for classes that happen before noon this wouldn't even be an issue."

Are you guys feeling uneasy too?
