Confluence: The Tomb of Wax. Fallen gods and the true ones, their lives are somehow reflected in the light of the candles in the buried tomb. Some candles are bright, tall and well wick'd, the gods they mirror adored and cared for and respected throughout the Coast and beyond. The ones that are dimming, dripping wax and stuttering, almost drowning? Their gods are struggling, working to keep their worship steady, blessing the mortals around them to keep their forms, to stay alive. And the candles that are out, wicks burned and fragile, wax hardened and dripped to the floor? Nothing will bring back the spark of what they once shone for, no matter how many matches you burn.

Here's a thing I did years ago where I screenshotted the 10 Ixupi from the 1995 PC horror game "Shivers" by Sierra Online/Entertainment.

Looking back on it, some of these buggers weren't exactly all THAT scary. But you know, these were the jumpscares I was used to long before FNAF was a thing.

But yeah, hopefully there's people on this site who remember this game that'll enjoy this.

And if not, there's still always the killer soundtrack. Pun intended.

I was looking at a website selling stationery and sealing wax because I like to torment myself with things I could be buying, and I realized eventually that when they say "wicked" they mean "wax with a wick", not "wax which is somehow evil". But it did take a while.

Wicked Wax would be a great name for a goth band, a scented candle store, a beauty salon, or a car detailer, and I'm sad that the Wicked Wax on the website wasn't even like of the "looks black but melts red" variety.

[ID: A screencap of a banner from a stationery store; it shows wax in long lozenges, labeled "wicked wax", and wax in small beads, labeled "bead wax". I do not need this hobby and yet I desire it.]
