If you told me this was true I wouldn't doubt it for a second

Preg nog?
I understood that reference.
I saw this, said wtf, left this post and it was 2 down...
My circle is normal.
This is pretty standard cosmic horror.
The people who touch the heart don't regret their choice.
is this a reference to something that i'm too uneducated to get?
As far as I can tell, mostly just fantasy tropes and the poem by Percy Shelley, a personal favorite
I met a traveller from an antique land, Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand, Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown, And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command, Tell that its sculptor well those passions read Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things, The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed; And on the pedestal, these words appear: My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings; Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair! Nothing beside remains. Round the decay Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
I met a traveller from an antique land,
Who said—“Two vast and trunkless legs of stone
Stand in the desert. . . . Near them, on the sand,
Half sunk a shattered visage lies, whose frown,
And wrinkled lip, and sneer of cold command,
Tell that its sculptor well those passions read
Which yet survive, stamped on these lifeless things,
The hand that mocked them, and the heart that fed;
And on the pedestal, these words appear:
My name is Ozymandias, King of Kings;
Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal Wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away.”
The poem of course referring to the real Ozymandias, who is Ramses the Second with Ozymandias being a greek conversion of the egyptian name User-Maat-Re (or Re-User-Maat, of which the english translation is Rameses or Ramses)
It rings of The City of the Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith. Worth reading.
it was a bugged cow mangler projectile
That's a lot of worldbuilding for one nonsensical comment
Can confirm. I touched it. Am dust.
Lucky!
Taylor-Swift-flavored Peeping the Horror
Look upon my rule and despair
