History Literature / TheInterfaceSeries

* BigBad: The titular Mother Horse Eyes, aka Q, is an EldritchAbomination responsible for manipulating all of human history and pre-history, and is responsible for all the horror in each time period. In the main timeline, she slowly establishes a totalitarian rule over the planet, keeping everyone in virtual reality prisons, while in Nick’s time, she is his main tormentor and the one driving him into his alcoholism.

''The Interface Series'' is a {{Creepypasta}} created by {{Website/Reddit}} user [[https://www.reddit.com/user/_9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9 _9MOTHER9HORSE9EYES9]]. Unusually, its parts were not posted to any one single subreddit, but rather it was scattered all across Reddit, submitted to threads where they were only tangentially related to the original subject. The posts first appeared in April of 2016, with the final post appearing in July of that year.

* RayOfHopeEnding: [[spoiler:Ultimately, the resistance have no way of destroying Mother/Q, as she is too powerful, but they hope to write down their story and spread it to an alternate timeline that may be able to stop her in their place. Mother/Q then destroys the world in a nuclear holocaust. Some humans escape in space ships but most of them are too apathetic to want to try to retake earth and are content to spend the rest of their lives in hedonistic virtual reality. Meanwhile, in Nick’s timeline, the story ends with him about to confront Mother, with the story ending just before we see the result.]]

Collected together they told a nightmarish story revolving around the titular "flesh interfaces," and humanity's attempts to study them. The story spans space and time, from a World War II concentration camp to a future Atlanta.

* BittersweetEnding: The emphasis is heavy on the ''bitter'' but still played straight. [[spoiler: Mother destroys the world in a nuclear holocaust. Some humans escape in space ships but most of them are too apathetic to want to try to retake earth and are content to spend the rest of their lives in hedonistic virtual reality.]]

* NauseaFuel: The story isn't just scary, it's also absolutely disgusting. The worst is probably the depictions of people who've been fully immersed in virtual reality for years to the point their surrounded by their own filth and need medical help to leave their pods.

* {{Doorstopper}}: The whole series makes it the longest Creepypasta, next to the "50 Foot Ant" stories.

* TheAssimilator: Mother/Q wishes to fuse all lifeforms into one. [[spoiler: The ending makes it ambiguous whether she manages to pull it off or simply destroys the earth out of spite.]]

* TheBadGuyWins Mother/Q [[spoiler: destroys the world but some humans survive by escaping into outer space]]... Unless she doesn't actually exist and the narrator is just ''crazy''.

* * BodyHorror: Tons of it. Segmentation, the phenomena where random body parts disappear, is about the least of it. It gets worse in the parts in the future where we get descriptions of people who lived in virtual reality so long their bodies atrophied and the machines to clean their body waste broke.

* HumansAreBastards: All the [[EldritchAbominations EldritchAbominations]] are created by humans meddling with the reality breaking power LSD has in this alternate history. [[spoiler: Except that Mother is heavily implied to have altered humanities DNA to make everything possible in the first place.]]

* BodyHorror: Tons of it. Segmentation, the phenomena where random body parts disappear, is about the least of it.

* EldritchAbomination: The Mother. And the interfaces. And skin ships. And Q. There's plenty of eldritch abominations here to choose from.

* CameBackWrong: People who cross an interface and return rarely survive, and those who survive rarely are unscathed. [[spoiler: sendind a corpse through the interface makes the person return alive, but they're just as messed up and usually die again shortly after.]]

* {{Doorstopper}}: The whole series makes it one of the longest Creepypastas ever written.

* EldritchAbomination: The Mother.

* SenseFreak: Individuals recently extracted from extremely long stays in the "feedrealm" are used to instant gratification, and will often start [[ADateWithRosiePalms masturbating]] in front of the technicians meant to be resocializing them.

* AuthorAvatar: Nick.

* PortalNetwork: The flesh interfaces are portals that link to other dimensions. The horrifying twist is that rather than being simple entry points made of warped space, they are [[spoiler: living, breathing tunnels made of flesh, created when large amounts of people are dosed with LSD.]]

* Cyberpunk: In the future people will be able to fully immerse themselves in Cyberspace via the technology known as hygiene beds. The problems arise when they don't want to come out...
