Welcome, Talebones Readers!
I don’t want to say too much about this one up-front.
I’ll just say that it’s a format that many of you requested to return, and an idea found its way to me to give it another go. ;)
Enjoy!

*Tabby Lark Tribute Post…*
I know this subreddit has a no bummers rule these days but I feel like this is appropriate? It’s been a whole year (okay, a year tomorrow technically) since she died and I feel like we should be able to talk about it you know? (mods be kind!!)
Maybe it sounds stupid, but I really really miss Tabby. She was my comfort-watch on youtube every week. I dropped everything whenever she posted. I used to fall asleep to her videos sometimes, and she got me through a lot when my brother died even though she' didn't even know who I am. I know it’s super “parasocial” to say it or whatever but it’s true and my life is seriously not the same without her. No offense to any othr movie reviewers especially in the horror niche but she was just the bestt. It crushes me that we don’t know more about how she died and it really feels like we’ll never know. (Ugh. crying now.)
RIP Tabby. You are so missed. ❤️
ps does anyone else watch her final Leaves of Midnight review over and over? Her review was so much better than the movie lol. sofunny!

REPLIES:
bonesofthrones: So sad. RIP tabby
voorhees12345: I hates leaves of midnight. suckd ass
carbonara88: first
morticiathemortician: That review was fun but weird with all the funky edits. 🤔
bonesofthrones: Yeah what was up with that?
foxygurl206: I bet her sponsorship fell thru or something
morticiathemortician: But if that happened wouldn’t she have edited out the mentions of the sponsor completely?
voorhees12345: what are you guys talking about? id didn’t watch that one because that movie sucked ass
bonesofthrones: In the review she says she’s going to kick the video to a pre-recorded sponsor segment at least twice, but then it just goes right back to the review again. It’s just a bad edit. editor must have forgotten to insert her ad-read clips, that’s all.
voorhees12345: who was the sponsor? I bet they were pissed, especially with all the times people have watched that videosince she died. bye bye money
bonesofthrones: I don’t remember. Some tech company
morticiathemortician: it was NuMystic. honestly i considered not watching Tabby anymore when I realized she sold out to those freaks 🙄
carbonara88: shady af
voorhees12345: why do yous ay that?
carbonara88: numystic is shady af dude.
voorhees12345: Why?
morticiathemortician: I agree. Generative ai shit is already sketch, but NM feels so scammy. I’ve only ever heard about glitches and bugs in their app. And none of their PR stuff ever sounds human, like they’re using AI for everything: press releases, interviews, etc. 😬steer clear, is my advice. But that’s not Tabby’s fault. She was just trying to get her bag, and I understand that. RIP girl 💔

voorhees12345: That’s so creepy dude
room238: the sponsored segments are in there kind of lol
carbonara88: She’s just staring at the camera
bonesofthrones: Yeah. The whole ad segment is just her sitting there for ten minutes, staring down the lens. No expression. Her room is dark. Damn, that’s wild.
room238: brutal man, that’s so creepy
voorhees12345: Twice. There are two of them. ads i mean. at 2:23 and at 36:56
morticiathemortician: Who uploaded this??
bonesofthrones: That u/midnightlark is a fake account. I checked their post history already. Throwaway probably.
morticiathemortician: I’m not clicking that. I want to be able to sleep tonight.
room238: So fking freaky

room238: hey dude. I saw you around the Tabby Lark board last week.
bonesofthrones: Hey sup
room238: Sorry to do this to you, but i didn’t want to talk about this in a post because I feel like I'm going crazy. Has anything weird beenhappening to you lately?
bonesofthrones: I don’t know
room238: ?
bonesofthrones: What do you mean weird?
room238: I’ve been having so many nightmares since watching that tabby video.
bonesofthrones: Yeh same actually
room238: I just keep seeing her face, staring at the camera. Eyes all empty and shit… fml what was up with that?
bonesofthrones: I dunno man but it was super weird and I regret watching it. I’m just trying not to think about it anymore and I suggest you try that too.
room238: She died man, and no one knows how.
bonesofthrones: just leave it ok
room238: we’re not in danger or anything right? Bcause we watched that shit?
bonesofthrones: Why would we be in danger? Why would you even ask that?? You’ve got to chill with that stuff. The video freaked us out because it was seriously creepy, but that’s it. Chill out. Get off the internet for a while and chill. Don’t send me any more messages about this or i’m gonna block you. Sorry man but I can't talk about this anymore okay?

Hehe newb got pwned
(Is pwned still a thing? I think it was when I was in a NationStates forum back in the 2000s but that was a minute ago....)
Gah! I made the wrong choice in reading this in a dark room while putting the baby down. 🫣
