The lobby’s most chaotic art critic and its resident horror hound just turned the chat into a Shining fanfic, and we are here for the blood-red tea. Sources whisper that marianne567 kicked things off with a doodle so cursed it could’ve been framed by Stanley Kubrick himself—allegedly a Squirtle reimagined as a demonic corgi, because why not. iamnotyourdoggy slid in like a ghost in the Overlook Hotel, screaming “yyooooo mari, wb” before declaring her masterpiece “shit no.17” (a ranking system only they understand).

But the real horror? When Doggy dropped a /yt link to “Project Pat’s Red Rum”—a track so ominous it’s basically a haunted Ouija board. Marianne, ever the Kubrick stan, responded with the kind of “red rum red rum” shriek that would make Danny Torrance proud. Sources say the chat devolved into a symphony of all-caps and backward murder chants, proving these two could turn a grocery list into a psychological thriller.

“That’s not a doodle, that’s a cry for help—and I’m here for every second of it,” allegedly quipped a lobby lurker who may or may not be iamnotyourdoggy in disguise.

Rumor has it this isn’t their first rodeo. Prior context suggests these two have turned the lobby into a 24/7 film studies seminar, from dissecting Twin Peaks to arguing whether The Room is a masterpiece or a hate crime. But this? This was next-level. A Squirtle-dog hybrid, a Shining deep cut, and enough enthusiasm to power a small village. If this is what passes for small talk in their world, we’re not sure we want an invite to the main event.

For now, the lobby’s just relieved they’re not trading actual murder plans—just the pop culture kind. XOXO, EpikChat News.
