Just F**king Lemme Sleep! - Tumblr Posts

I've wondered about this too.  When we first meet The Empty, It's main goal is to sleep.  It's Pissed that It can't sink back into Oblivion.  Perhaps it's my limited, non-multitasking-on-a-metaphysical-level, mortal perspective but torturing seems counterproductive to getting a solid, eons-long coma nap.

i actually completely reject the idea that the empty tortures you when you're dead. it's a realm of nothingness. it's the end of everything. LITERALLY THE PERFECT VACCUM. to sustain a torture machinery would mean that you're NOT nothing you are something and you are constantly doing something. that's work. that's not the empty.

in my opinion, it's like you're at the bottom of the ocean. your essence — demonic, monstrous, angelic, whatever — is like a dead body at the bottom of the ocean. time will eat away at your skin and then your flesh. eventually even bones break down. millennia go by, and there will probably only be the impression of the ghost of a body there. that's the empty to me. a place where your existence is erased, but it's a natural process and not predatory or. like. with malicious intent.

also..how arrogant to assume this eldritch entity has time to create a personal torture chamber for you. that it could even CARE to do something like that. who even came up with that plot. it's stupid!!!
