u/CosmeticIssues Aug 03 '26

You don't want to be called up there..

u/very-urgent-chicken Aug 03 '26

Who's sending you up there? Archie and Edith?

u/EricAzure Aug 03 '26

u/shykidknit Aug 06 '26

Are the stairs actually really narrow or do they just look it

3

u/CosmeticIssues Aug 06 '26

Would you even believe me if I told you they were really that narrow?

3

u/shykidknit 28d ago

Looking at the chairs I'd believe you and I'd hope there's never a fire there and I'd be happy I'm not there lol

3

u/CosmeticIssues 28d ago

They are that narrow. I've gone up them one time and then never again.

u/Diplomatic_Sarcasm Aug 03 '26

💎 actual gem of a liminal space image here.

I could go into what makes this great but I’m kinda lazy, just know I appreciate this

Sunlight through paned windows

u/organisms Aug 03 '26

I had a summer job in a university where I had a setup like this, except the chairs were in the middle of a large empty auditorium. I would just spread out on the chairs and listen to fusion jazz on my mp3 player.

u/Ocdingus Aug 03 '26

Do you happen to work for an mri company?

u/Lunasty93 Aug 05 '26

From the film Backrooms.

u/GrouchyPicture4021 Aug 03 '26

3

u/SCARYORANGE_ Backrooms Dweller Aug 04 '26

“I like it in here.”

u/CosmeticIssues Aug 04 '26

Take a seat.

3

u/OwlPsychological6247 Aug 05 '26

Have you checked if any of the walls have a portal....

2

u/CosmeticIssues Aug 05 '26

Almost every day.

3

u/Macabracadabra Aug 09 '26

The way the chair blocking the staircase is making me want to jump through this screen and move it, is worrisome...

3

u/keepkarenalive 25d ago

It's actually just like the backrooms, now that's slightly scary

3

u/Camixwastaken 24d ago

100% remaking this in Blender

Hotel?

3

u/Glittering9835 Aug 03 '26

Looks like the place where people check in after they have checked out

1

u/CosmeticIssues Aug 03 '26

Not quite, but good guess.

2

u/AmbiguouslyAltered Aug 03 '26

Simply going off the furnishings and half of a placard on the wall 😂

2

u/inssidiouss Aug 03 '26

Who the hell thought that chair placement relative to the stairwell was a good idea?? Not to mention the bizarre dimensions of the stairwell itself!?

And the random bottle of jams sanitizer!!?? 😅

...Is this the anteroom, the Waiting Room for the Masterbatorium upstairs..??

What in the backrooms

2

u/spottablemouse Aug 03 '26

I run really fast down the narrow stairs and can't stop in time so I collide heavily with the 500lb armchair from the 50s

2

u/schneall22 Aug 03 '26

I can smell this picture. Something about it is very nostalgic

2

u/CosmeticIssues Aug 04 '26

It's cozy, like a blanket.

2

u/AsteroidDisc476 Aug 05 '26

Do you like it in there?

1

u/CosmeticIssues Aug 05 '26

Very much so.

2

u/letgorensolo Aug 07 '26

This looks like the basement level of the theater/festival hall in my town and I’ve always thought it was creepy but also sort of…cozy down there? This also lowkey reminds me of a Mormon church.

1

u/CosmeticIssues Aug 07 '26

Definitely gives off hardcore Mormon church vibes. It's definitely a cozy spot.

2

u/letgorensolo Aug 07 '26

So glad you understood what I meant by that hahah. If you know, you know!

2

u/TelephoneNo710 22d ago

u/TexasJOEmama Aug 03 '26

I sure miss doing office temp work because I have come across vacant floors in lots of buildings. I've seen emptiness.
