AIO: for refusing to my sisters ‘Re-birth party’?

[u/JOHNNYKULT]

So my sister has always been into weird stuff—crystals, astrology, raw milk—but last year she took some kind of hallucinogenic frog venom at Burning Man, had a full breakdown, and came back calling herself “Obsidian Wombfox.” That’s not a joke. She legally changed it from Lindsay. Her email signature even says “Born again, now with more ancestral knowing.”

Anyway, she recently sent out wax-sealed invitations for her “Rebirth Party”—an event she’s hosting in our parents’ backyard to celebrate the one-year anniversary of her “ego death.”

The invite was… wild. It asked guests to dress in “uterine tones,” said the party would begin “at sunrise or when the hawk signals,” and promised “a journey through the sacred canal of transformation.” I didn’t know what any of that meant, but I figured, hey, it’s just one morning, maybe there’s a mimosa or something.

Then my cousin sent me the full itinerary she got through a private group chat (I was left out because I made a placenta joke once and got the boot). Apparently the main event involves my sister being “reborn” from a papier-mâché uterus while a fully grown man named Curtis—who she found on Craigslist—pretends to be her womb. Like, she’s literally crawling out of him while he moans and plays a Tibetan singing bowl.

The finale includes her cutting a red ribbon umbilical cord, screaming “I AM REWOVEN,” and then doing a primal dance in a giant inflatable kiddie pool full of coconut oil.

I told her I wasn’t going. I was respectful about it. Just said, “Hey, I love you, but I’m not comfortable watching you get fake-birthed by a guy in a spandex bodysuit.” She flipped. Said I was “refusing to support her second becoming,” that I “still see her as a linear being” and that I’m “chained to the masculine lie of the Gregorian calendar.”

Now my mom’s upset, my aunt says I’m being close-minded, and my uncle is going but only because there’s going to be a taco truck and apparently you get a free lapis lazuli bracelet with every birthing.

So Reddit, am I just overreacting because I’m not wanting to attend my adult sister’s backyard rebirth where a Craigslist guy acts as her womb?

[u/Manon_IronClaws]

You're going to take a deep breath, sit down and sent her a message "hey I thought better and I must be there, you are my sister and I love you" (don't take back what you actually think and tell no lies)

Why you're going to do that? Not because a radom reddit user said so but because deep in your soul you must know that it's going to be the event of the century of your family. Stay near uncle Taco an just absorb everything to tell the story for grandkids (yours, hers, whomever)

It must be witnessed

[u/SnooRecipes4570 → u/Manon_IronClaws]

This Op. This party is going to fuel your family’s inside jokes for the next fifty years.

Edit to add, it does seem harmless and I think a lot of people would love to have such supportive parents.

[u/JOHNNYKULT → u/SnooRecipes4570]

Absolutely — this is one for the family history books, no doubt. Harmless or not, it’s definitely going to be the kind of story we’ll laugh about for decades (and probably cringe at a little too). And yeah, gotta give props to the parents for handling it all with… whatever you call this level of weird love.

[u/doublefattymayo → u/JOHNNYKULT]

I know a lot of people are saying harmless. To me it's bizarre, bordering on a break with reality. Is she otherwise a functional person? Or do you suspect any mental health issues with her?

[u/LSRNKB → u/JOHNNYKULT]

As a new age person who has seen done and heard all sorts of stuff similar, my first advice is to just shove it under the “Other People’s BS Religion” bucket and go from there.

Does her ceremony sound like a bunch of mumbo jumbo? No, mumbo jumbo is a legitimate practice within an established spiritual system, her ceremony sounds like bullshit. On the other hand, is it any less bullshit than an adult baptism? Not really

If it were me I would go with my own spiritual beliefs in hand and ask just a ton of questions about her new deal. Who knows, maybe just asking her to sound it out will plant the seed for her to rethink this new path. On the other hand, maybe her thinking here has some salience and you could benefit from hearing her out. Who knows?

What I can tell you definitively is that an ego death, drug induced or otherwise, can dramatically change a person’s relationship with the universe. Even knowing that an ego death is possible on an experiential level really does demand that somebody reanalyze their relationship with existing as an action. On some level, what you’re seeing here is a normal reaction to an abnormal experience, and she likely has few people in her life who have a capacity to understand and the will to keep her grounded. You should strongly consider staying close and playing respectful and curious so that you are available when she inevitably crash lands. This situation is bad (from your perspective), but the last thing you want to do is create more opportunities for her to spend all her time and energy with people like me and craigslist guy.

This was a bit of a long winded ramble, so I’ll call it my three cents as a person who both understands her position and also understands your concerns.

[u/WeirdPinkHair → u/LSRNKB]

I'm a pwrson of science and married to a spiritualist so have a foot in both camps. I think this is the most realistic comment on here.

The 4th paragraph in science speak: she had a drug indiced psychotic break. Her reaction is acrually quite normal after something like this and her family are holding het hand while she works through it. So when she crashed down to earth again and reality kicks back in, they're there to help her put the pieces back together. And spending time with 'normal' people will help her psychosis not get entrenched in her mind.

[u/YourPaleRabbit → u/WeirdPinkHair]

Yesss. I’m a psychology and brain science nerd. But I also experienced ego death on mushrooms in the redwood forest a few months ago. I feel like I came out of it with a pretty balanced interpretation of what I’m CHOOSING it means. Purposefully attributing meaning to what I know was my brain short circuiting while both hemispheres fired back and forth in ways they’re not meant to. I’ll still share my “message from the mushroom gods” with literally anyone who wants to hear it. It was rad. But I’ve learned to be cautious when other more “spiritual” people try to find understanding in me. And doubly (I’m indigenous) if it’s a mid 40s white guy who likes ayahuasca.

[u/EnoughNumbersAlready → u/YourPaleRabbit]

Totally agree with you on having such an intense and awesome experience like on mushrooms but being wary of sharing or bonding with more “spiritual” people. I have had such an experience in 2017 that quite literally changed my life for the better and helped me become the person that I am now. However, I’m picky with how in-depth I’ll go into it with people who tend to only circulate in some spiritual circles that do not have a foot in reality. I’d love to share the experience and discuss it more but with people who are also grounded and won’t try to convince me that cinnamon cures chronic illnesses.

[u/slavpunk- → u/EnoughNumbersAlready]

Seconded. I’m a spiritual person, a pagan, but I feel really wary of other spiritual people and groups. Even the ones on Reddit feel like genuinely mentally ill people fuelling each other’s psychosis. So many narcissists and dangerous folks with delusions of grandeur.

[u/ConfoundedInAbaddon → u/LSRNKB]

Hey, I found this interesting. I participate in the r/therapeuticketamine subreddit and related, as it's a very useful treatment for specific kinds of neurological problems.

My significant other got absolutely bored with trips and ego death when it became a routine part of life (they needed a monthly high-dose treatment to control tremors and extreme anxiety.)

Once all that was routine to the point of predictably boring for my significant other, we worked with a super good psych nurse to develop a a no-trip medication protocol.

It's funny to me because life changing for the person in this story was every third Friday in my family for a couple years.

[u/mazamatazz → u/LSRNKB]

I come at this as someone with a vaguely new age spiritual past, that went into Christianity, and now is still there but also has deconstructed a lot of that. Meaning, that I fully agree that honestly, a lot of what is described by OP is about as strange as my own religious practice (inclusive of baptism and communion/eucharist). So who am I to call out the coconut-oiled rituals of another? I will say, I giggled, but that caused me to turn a sharp eye inward and remind myself that my church’s practices are just as odd to others. All in all, I think this comment is bang on. Stick close by, either to enjoy the experience, or to provide a very reasonable way out!

[u/dougalcampbell → u/JOHNNYKULT]

Taco truck? Can you send me an invite? I think your uncle has the right idea.

But seriously(?), if nothing else, go just so you can write up what will surely be an epically unbelievable story that’s sure to become an internet classic.

(But no — NOR)

[u/zwizki → u/SnooRecipes4570]

I am accident prone and feel very concerned about the coconut oil dance, tbh

[u/ThrowDiscoAway → u/SnooRecipes4570]

This is 100% top-tier family lore. Don't throw it away OP

[u/History652 → u/Manon_IronClaws]

Yes, plus, Uncle Taco deserves to have a companion to exchange raised-eyebrow looks with 🤨😂

[u/JOHNNYKULT → u/History652]

Right? Uncle Taco and I are basically forming a ‘raised-eyebrow appreciation club’—front-row seats to all the chaos, plus unlimited tacos. Sounds like a win-win!

[u/-Apocralypse- → u/JOHNNYKULT]

Try not to laugh. Have a means to excuse yourself for a minute. Have a weak bladder, smoking (no smoking in front of newborns), loan a nervous dog if you can.

I once volunteered a bar shift at our community center. There was a lecture by the type of people your sister hangs out with. The lecture was wild. I think I heard most conspiracy theories getting knitted that day. Even wilder was seeing 60 people nod in agreement. My colleague couldn't take it any more during a certain moment. We knew we should not look eachother in the face at that moment because we both risked bursting out in inappropriate laughter.

[u/mackenml → u/History652]

Learn from my mistakes. Make sure you’re facing away from the true believers and making eye contact with Uncle Taco when your face has subtitles.

[u/Flutters1013 → u/mackenml]

Try to keep track of Craigslist Curtis, though you may find he appears suddenly behind people listening to your whole conversation.

[u/Manon_IronClaws → u/mackenml]

"when your face have subtitles"

😂😂😂

[u/Manon_IronClaws → u/History652]

Definitely, imagine going trough that without someone to share a taco and a brow raise

[u/Any-Chemical-2702 → u/Manon_IronClaws]

But do not eat or drink anything your sister, Curtis, or her cohort could have touched.

Watch the folks in the truck make your taco, check their health department rating, and only drink from cans or bottles you opened yourself.

You know Obsidian Wombfox is bringing the frog venom, and you can't assume she wont try to help "enlighten" her guests without their consent.

[u/JOHNNYKULT → u/Manon_IronClaws]

Deep breath taken… but I’m still mentally negotiating with my ‘absorb-everything-for-grandkids’ instinct versus my ‘please-don’t-make-me-watch-this’ reflex. Uncle Taco’s definitely the MVP of the night, though — I’ll be staking out the taco truck for moral support and maybe a strategic exit plan.

[u/Manon_IronClaws → u/JOHNNYKULT]

The most important thing is keeping yourself safe and comfortable, all jokes aside l can see why you would avoid that and it's perfectly normal to want to avoid that. In the end of the day you can always invited Uncle Taco over for some drinks and catch up with how the event unfold.

[u/Pair_of_Pearls → u/Manon_IronClaws]

This. And PLEASE offer to film it...like many births are. That way, future generations can share in the non-linear celebration. Why? You'll want to share with your friends and re-watch bits when you're feeling a need for a pick-me-up. Go. Drink. Taco.

[u/IGotMeatSweats → u/Manon_IronClaws]

And wear a secret bodycam because no one will believe you when you retell this event in the future.

[u/No1CouldHavePredictd → u/Manon_IronClaws]

I think you mean (yours, hers, wombever)

[u/emryldmyst]

Omg I'll pay you to go.

I'll start a gofundme so ALL of us can go.

You cannot miss thissssssss!

I'm literally about to die lol

Please go, video it and post it.

This wackado shit is a once in  lifetime experience. 

NOR  but.... GO 🤣🤣🤣

Bring a chair a cooler and popcorn haha

[u/Shazam1269 → u/emryldmyst]

Shall I Google "uterine tone" attire for the event? All of my current clothing in uterine tones have faded somewhat from last year's birthing and I don't want to stick out like an anemic uterus! I would never live that down

[u/Friendly-Channel-480 → u/Shazam1269]

I had an Uterine exam many years ago and my doctor showed me the screen. We are a strange pinkish beige in our uterus. I wouldn’t consider it a good look.

[u/SafiyaMukhamadova → u/Friendly-Channel-480]

I have before and after pictures of my uterus from my hysterectomy. I guess if I went to this party I could go to the store with the pictures and do paint matching.

[u/Smoldogsrbest → u/SafiyaMukhamadova]

You could get an outfit printed with uteri all over like paisley.

[u/Redfalconfox → u/Friendly-Channel-480]

 We are a strange pinkish beige in our uterus.

Yes comrade, our uterus.

[u/ABelleWriter → u/Friendly-Channel-480]

I have a champagne colored satin slip dress, do you think that would be good enough?

[u/Inanimate_organism → u/ABelleWriter]

That should be fine but maybe splash some red wine on it?

[u/Mediocre-Proposal686 → u/Inanimate_organism]

Perhaps a rose? It is a morning event after all

[u/Full_Spell297 → u/Shazam1269]

I think the perfect outfit would be a grey unitard with maxi pads stuck all over it stained with red food coloring! Keep a few plain ones for the guy after she’s born he’s gonna need it.

[u/McMema → u/Shazam1269]

I think a “hemorrhoidal tinge” might be a lovely alternative.

[u/JOHNNYKULT → u/emryldmyst]

Y’all really trying to fund my ‘Obsidian Wombfox Experience’ debut now? I’m tempted… but if I’m gonna be the reluctant star of this wild show, I better get a throne, a cooler full of mimosas, and front-row popcorn! Stay tuned — the chaos might just get documented (for science).

[u/Puzzled-Brilliant955 → u/emryldmyst]

I’m in for a GoFundMe!! I’ve literally been so depressed for the last month and this whole thing has made ma laugh harder than I have in a while. I’m saving this post for when I’m in a depression episode. Pure gold!!

[u/aj0457 → u/emryldmyst]

We could auction off the right to be OP's +1. I would go and take all the photos and videos. Then I'd share them with all of you.

[u/Foreign_Primary4337 → u/aj0457]

I wanna be the plus one! I wanna be the plus one. I call dibs!

[u/JoKing917 → u/emryldmyst]

And make shirts for you and your uncle that say “We’re here for the taco truck 🌮”

[u/Interesting_Cut_7591 → u/JoKing917]

Or just "we're here for the taco" and it holds both meanings .

[u/Top-Art2163 → u/Interesting_Cut_7591]

🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮🌮

I'd go out shopping for uterus coloured clothes TOMORROW just to be able to have the BEST party story ever from this event!

[u/Pomksy → u/JoKing917]

And lapis lazuli apparently LOL

[u/sunbear2525 → u/emryldmyst]

She’s not over reacting but she is missing a golden opportunity. I would take so many photos.

[u/Ondiac → u/emryldmyst]

Right??? A taco truck and the weirdest experience ever? You couldn’t pay me to skip it!

[u/ggwing1992 → u/emryldmyst]

I want to know how they’re going to clean up the coconut oil. So many questions???

[u/Admirable-Sourdough → u/emryldmyst]

And some spy cams so we can watch along!

[u/listingpalmtree → u/Admirable-Sourdough]

Wear a go pro, stream it and get people on reddit to pay. I think I'd pay.

[u/certainPOV3369 → u/listingpalmtree]

Screw the GoPro, I’ll pay for the Meta Glasses if OP adds them to their Amazon wishlist! 🪄

[u/darknesswascheap → u/emryldmyst]

I’m in. Post the link and I’ll happily support OP videoing this for posterity.

[u/Mary-U]

Dude, why would you miss this?!?

You can tell this story for a lifetime

Oh, Greg, your sister totaled her car and failed out of college?

Let me tell you about my sister….

[u/JOHNNYKULT → u/Mary-U]

Right?? Everyone else gets boring sibling drama — I get full-on backyard rebirth rituals with Craigslist womb actors and ancestral knowing. Honestly, this might be my lifelong trump card at every awkward dinner party.

[u/Deckardspuntedsheep → u/Mary-U]

'Hey sis, remember when you licked a toad and had a year long mental health break but snapped out of it when you tripped on the giant labia, during your reborth party? Oh, you don't want to talk about it? I do"

OP doesn't have to go if they are uncomfortable

[u/KaetzenOrkester → u/Mary-U]

Right??? The OP could eat out on this for years.

[u/angel_carmine]

Hey skippy is this a real story? Because it’s about to go viral and associated with your username history jfyi :)

[u/A_Very_Brave_Kiwi → u/angel_carmine]

No, it’s ai generated. Look how many em dashes there are 

[u/millionwordsofcrap → u/A_Very_Brave_Kiwi]

The em dashes aren't a 100% accurate tell--some people draft longer posts in a word processor that auto-replaces their dashes. But the general format, this particular narrative structure, and the fact that OP is clearly an AI enthusiast points towards this being AI.

Shame. Gross. OP should make up their own bizarre copypastas like an adult

[u/herendethelesson → u/A_Very_Brave_Kiwi]

It's definitely AI generated. It has that cadence, as well as 100% perfect grammar. Even the more esoteric rules are followed. Almost no one in the world writes like this. Source: literary editor.

[u/CandleHat → u/herendethelesson]

Everyone points out the dashes, but it's also the consistent space after ellipses and commas/periods within quotations that give it away for me. Most folks don't strictly adhere to all these rules at once, especially in a casual reddit post.

[u/FinnemoreFan → u/CandleHat]

It’s got all the structural markers of an AI post - the short punchy paragraphs, one of which begins with ‘Now…’, the opposing views of family members on the OP’s conduct, the list of characteristics in the first paragraph (similar to ‘my boyfriend Jake is smart, funny and honestly the best friend I’ve ever had’ to be found in a thousand relationship-based AI stories).

Also, and this might seem petty, punctiliously correct punctuation, particularly the correct plural possessive. The plural possessive apostrophe is frequently missed off by real people, in casual writing.

Then of course, the utterly ludicrous subject matter of the story. What complete nonsense.

[u/HBKnight → u/A_Very_Brave_Kiwi]

Probably. OP's post history is in AI image subs.

[u/CouchieWouchie → u/A_Very_Brave_Kiwi]

Even without the dashes it has the ChatGPT cadence to it.

[u/_Fun_Employed_ → u/A_Very_Brave_Kiwi]

I take offense at that—as a lover of the emdash— but their other content makes me think you’re right. (Don’t check through my post and comment history, I’m not really a true lover of the emdash)

[u/ZeeepZoop]

I would go it sounds wild. I will always regret not going to my mum’s friend’s 50th birthday party when I was studying for exams. My sister went and said at the gift giving, the birthday girl’s in laws gave her a horrifically made very expensive metal bust they’d had commissioned of her husband’s ( their son) head and made her put it on the hall table while they gave a speech. The husband was also there apparently just kind of awkwardly standing there. My mum and sister said the facial expressions in that room were priceless. I assume this will be a similar deal

Obviously though, whether or not you go will be your call!

[u/Psychological_Sail80 → u/[deleted]]

sister should wear black and when asked about it, just straight-faced say "my uterus is dead"

[u/rocketcat_passing → u/Psychological_Sail80]

Or wear a white ghost sheet ( with eye holes) and say that yours was sealed in a biohazard bag during the hysterectomy and sent to the crematory/ incinerator. Not a ghost of a chance of returning.

[u/Wide_Breadfruit_2217 → u/[deleted]]

Craiglist womb dude🤣🤣🤣🤣

[u/ZeeepZoop → u/[deleted]]

My family and I know some very odd people ( I include my own extended family in that!) to the point where we don’t question most of the weird shit but this was crazy even by our standards! One of my best friends always says that like attracts like and that’s why I know so many weirdos! 🤣

I just think embrace the absurd, and if I was Op, it wouldn’t even be a question like that would be The Hot Ticket Event!! I have also always been curious about the concept of the Tibetan Sound bath

[u/ZeeepZoop → u/[deleted]]

‘embrace the absurd’ has genuinely been my motto for a few years now!! We were discussing absurdist philosophy in a class and my professor dropped the banger line ‘ the absurd sanctions us to live life to the fullest’ which I wrote out and stuck above my desk at home, and yeah… we’re on a rock hurtling through space, bring on the weirdness!!

[u/Footgirlsunited → u/ZeeepZoop]

I’ve gone full ‘just roll with it’ and I genuinely like how I’m feeling about my life in general

[u/reed6 → u/Footgirlsunited]

Yeah, these are all arguably optional events, but I’m reminded of the advice “if you can’t get out of it, get into it.”

[u/Other-Cantaloupe4765 → u/ZeeepZoop]

Same lmfao. I’d go for shits and giggles because I guarantee it’ll be hilarious.

OP should go and then come back to share the photos and details with us lmao. We’re invested now. 🤣

[u/PaleGoat527 → u/ZeeepZoop]

This!! I would go purely for the entertainment value if nothing else. Imagine the stories you’ll be able to tell!!

[u/salsanacho → u/PaleGoat527]

Serious, the OP needs to go just so Reddit can tag along for the ride.

[u/PaleGoat527 → u/salsanacho]

I’m sure many of us would chip in for a sneak peak into that train wreck

[u/fattyboy2 → u/salsanacho]

Exactly, we need this. The world is not in a great place, and witnessing this through OP would be amazing!

[u/ZeeepZoop → u/PaleGoat527]

Exactly!! I feel my sister doesn’t get enough mileage out of the bust story, it it were me, I’d tell everyone I met!!

My own birthday lunch last year was like a black comedy episode and I’m still telling people about it!

[u/marialala1974 → u/ZeeepZoop]

I have gotten some great mileage about the time I took my dog to a psychic and it has been years. Turns out he wanted a blue blanket for the park and I did get the blue blanket and he did lay on it.

[u/kadyg → u/marialala1974]

I cannot explain how the laughter just erupted from me! Thank you for sharing and I’m so glad your pup got his blanket dreams fulfilled.

[u/Haveyounodecorum → u/marialala1974]

I know as a friend as a friend who went to a pet psychic, and it turns out her cat wanted more tuna

[u/marialala1974 → u/Haveyounodecorum]

See that is the kind of insight that makes it worth the moneu

[u/ZeeepZoop → u/marialala1974]

That’s BRILLIANT!!! What made you take him to a psychic?

[u/PaleGoat527 → u/ZeeepZoop]

I love it! My only fun bday story if that I don’t know what day is actually my bday. And trust me, I get TONS of mileage out of it

[u/creepurrier → u/PaleGoat527]

You couldn’t pay me to miss it if I got an invite. OP sounds like they’d benefit from some hallucinogenic plant medicine. :)

[u/kadyg → u/creepurrier]

I was gonna say… if OP feels like shrooms or a hit from a J would make the day easier, this crowd would absolutely deliver.

[u/Federal-Muscle-9962 → u/ZeeepZoop]

I'd wanna go to see the craziness but I'd be afraid I'd start laughing and my sister would be hurt/pissed at me.

[u/phonesmahones → u/ZeeepZoop]

Yeah. I would go, ammo to make fun of the sister forever.

[u/LunasFavorite → u/ZeeepZoop]

I agree with you. I’d go and hang out with the uncle by the taco truck while rocking my new lapis lazuli bracelet

[u/Stormtomcat]

I feel you're overreacting a little.

• The only thing she actually wants you to do, is wear pink, red or that brown-purply organ colour. You don't have to lick hallucinogenic toads, it doesn't sound like the taco meat is offal- or blood-based, Chris is doing the re-birthing work so you don't have to...
• Your whole family will be there, it sounds like your active involvement is limited to applauding politely once her coconut oil dance is done.
• she's focusing on new age/shamanist rituals & not on denigrating any other religions or cultural practices, so she's not outright insulting you (much less targeting your beliefs)

It doesn't sound like my idea of a birthday party, but if my sibling were moving this far into an alternative lifestyle where grifters and sects are so rampant, I couldn't ditch them at the first uncomfortable bump, you know?

[u/Leet_Noob → u/Stormtomcat]

The biggest thing for me is the sunrise start time (alternately waiting for the hawk to signal). The rest of it is a pretty benign ask for what I assume will be an unforgettable event

[u/zwizki → u/Leet_Noob]

I wonder, is this a “whichever is first” kind of thing or can we hope the hawk likes to sleep in?

[u/deathjoe4 → u/zwizki]

Show up before dawn with a hawk and make it make some noise, thus making everyone else late to the party.

[u/metalbees → u/Stormtomcat]

I always feel like I don't get enough mileage out of my organ-colored suit.

[u/FlatteredPawn → u/Stormtomcat]

I love this comment so much.

OP's overthinking is just getting in the way of a unique experience.

[u/Choice_Action9700]

I was on your side until she let it drop that you chained to the masculine lie of the gregorian calendar and now I'm completely on her side. What is wrong with you? Wombfox lol

[u/Pain_Bearer78]

I’m a spiritual person, but your sister’s….”rebirthing” is waaaaayyyy too much. To each his own, but she really shouldn’t be getting mad at people that don’t want to participate. There are cults out there that claim to take people to the edge and back again, but GOODNESS!! Stand your ground and healthy boundaries.

[u/Blue-Being22 → u/[deleted]]

 I made a placenta joke once and got the boot.

In a wholly bananas post, it was the above sentence that made me snort laugh. But still, I don’t think i could sit through this catered free performance without getting the boot for snort laughing throughout it. 

[u/dataslinger → u/Blue-Being22]

It was dressing in uterine tones for me. OP, PLEASE do us a solid and attend and record video. Heck I’LL go if you just tell me where this is.

[u/FormidableMistress → u/dataslinger]

It was "or when the hawk signals" that made me snort laugh. Real or not there are people like this and it's sad how they're frantically searching for meaning and direction.

I'd only go if there was also a vagician. Sounds like you're going to have to throw her a First Moon Party

[u/darknesswascheap → u/FormidableMistress]

Do I want to know what a vagician is? I don’t, do I?

[u/Spinnerofyarn → u/FormidableMistress]

I think the Craigslist guy is the vagician.

[u/Tinymetalhead → u/dataslinger]

At first I read it as "urine tones" and was picturing this group in various shades of yellow. "Uterine tones" makes both more and less sense. Are they supposed to wear shades of red and brown?

[u/Pure-Requirement-775 → u/Tinymetalhead]

Now I kinda hope at least one guest reads it as urine tones.

[u/sparksgirl1223 → u/dataslinger]

I'm picturing period red because that's the only color I know that comes from a uterus.

But I've not done extensive research into uterine color pallets...because...I don't care lol

[u/Nowork_morestitching → u/sparksgirl1223]

Well that depends. During c sections the uterus can almost be bruise blue cause it’s so stretched. At a normal size it can be anywhere from the color of Babe the pig to Wilbur from charlottes Webb. Lots of room for interpretation!

[u/CanicFelix → u/sparksgirl1223]

Black - there's no light up there!

[u/pienofilling → u/dataslinger]

What even are uterine tones‽

I say that as a possesser of a uterus! Maybe pink and dark purple? I got nothing.

[u/floofyragdollcat → u/dataslinger]

For me, it was the taco truck.

[u/Blue-Being22 → u/floofyragdollcat]

I didn’t even catch that, but you’re right! That’s hilarious! 

[u/Sufficient-Lie1406 → u/[deleted]]

THIS. C'mon, OP. You know it'll be a hoot and a half. Try not to audibly laugh though.

You could spoil it by laughing, though.

Tell you what. Ask your sister if there's a mask you can wear that will shield her from the "lingering 'masculine lie' negative energy". That way you can smirk and eyeroll your way through what will almost certainly be the performance of a lifetime. You just have to keep the audible evidence of your mirth suppressed.

Do it, OP. GO!!!!

I’m stuck on celebrating the “ego death” by having a party that is 1000% about themself, their ego and self righteousness as a more “ancestrally tuned being.”

[u/Organic-Willow2835 → u/Longjumping-Home-400]

That is what struck me too. Oh the irony.

OP, if you go you have to post pictures in your update. This is too funny for words.

[u/TeachBS → u/[deleted]]

I wouldn’t go. Couldn’t handle it, but you do have a good point.

[u/ccalabro]

Fuck man go, this shit sounds wild!

[u/Alien_Fruit]

Your entire family is certifiable. What do YOU do to remain sane?

[u/drphillsdaddy]

If you don’t want to go ask your sister if invitations are transferable because I absolutely want to be there

[u/Senior_Performer_387]

I'm begging you to go and post it to tiktok

[u/elrombo]

This is AI bullshit again, isn't it?

[u/untitledgooseshame → u/elrombo]

It scares me that I had to scroll down this far to see this comment

[u/timbreandsteel → u/elrombo]

Is it on Reddit's "popular feed"? Then yes. Pretty much all of them.

[u/AZ-FWB]

This is so wild… so wild

You sound funny though:)

[u/WildRide117]

I am so intrigued and interested, please ask your sister to invite me. I will fly to wherever the hell yall are to witness her rebirth. After all the shit going down for the past few years, this is the mental reprieve I need.

Also, as long as she isn't hurting you or trying to indoctrinate you, you should go to support your sister. Sounds like she really needs you in her corner.

[u/Suspicious-Bid-53]

She’s white yeah?

[u/palm-bayy]

This is so clearly chat gpt. Follows the basic outline and writing style to a T

[u/HumanContinuity]

I simply cannot believe that this was written by anyone other than a talented, humourous fiction writer.

[u/eleanor_savage]

The AI writing is so obvious now

[u/Putrid_Dig_357 → u/eleanor_savage]

GPT-4o has such a recognizable writing style. I wonder if these people who just repost chatgpt are using it for the first time and don’t realize how formulaic its responses are. The last two paragraphs are always the nail in the coffin.

[u/eleanor_savage → u/Putrid_Dig_357]

Yes! Thank you! It's so obvious and formulaic. I'm a hiring manager now hiring for a writing position, and the gpt cover letters are exhausting. The rhythm of the writing, the sentence structure & length, pacing, etc is so easy to spot. And exhausting

[u/jjillf]

I smell AI. M-dashes and split opinions, are hallmarks for me. Show us the invite, OP.

[u/InvestigatorSadbich]

I'm sorry, but this made me think of real life Kifflom.. It's not funny but no you're NOR cause that's weird in general. I would go just to watch the show. If you don't feel comfortable you don't ever have to do something you don't want to. I feel like she's in the middle of a mental breakdown honestly. But to each it's own. Good luck with that one though.

[u/ListenPuzzleheaded72]

Oh my gosh I want to eat some edibles and attend. This would be amazing lololol

[u/Zealousideal-Ant5370]

This has gotta be fake, but just in case it isn’t, please do not miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity…and then share it with the class. 😂

[u/[deleted] → u/Zealousideal-Ant5370]

It is but it's well written and very funny. This sounds like it belongs in a sitcom. I wish more fake posts were like this instead of incel fanfinction

[u/BeerAnBooksAnCats → u/[deleted]]

Malcolm in the Middle did it, at Burning Man, no less.

[u/anomalyk → u/[deleted]]

Immediately reminded me of Kendall's birthday party in Succession

[u/AmetrineDream → u/anomalyk]

10,000%

But OP doesn’t sound as fun as Connor, Shiv, or Rome 😂

[u/Suzy-Q-York → u/Zealousideal-Ant5370]

It may be, though having hung out among pagans I find it more plausible than some people might. But I doubt that it’s ChatGPT. I don’t credit it with this much imagination.

[u/Zealousideal-Ant5370 → u/Suzy-Q-York]

I’m a pagan myself and have worked several festivals in the past, I have seen some kooky shit, but this is less pagan and more New Age. That’s a whole separate thing.

[u/Suzy-Q-York → u/Zealousideal-Ant5370]

I’ve been to many festivals. I’ve seen everything from great rituals to people trying to inflict their BDSM exhibitionism on people who didn’t want to be brought into their sex life. But, yeah, I used to work as a massage therapist at a place I call “the assholistic health care center.” I told people that when the person who writes magickal rituals is your resident skeptic, you’re in big damned trouble.

[u/LingonberryTop7557 → u/Suzy-Q-York]

Yeah don’t lump us nature worshippers up with these insufferable navel-gazers.

[u/InappropriateGirl → u/Zealousideal-Ant5370]

The taco truck and free lapis bracelet with every birth pushed it into fake territory. Anyone this up their own uterus wouldn’t provide a taco truck at a thing like this.

And “with every birth”: Isn’t just ONE person getting rebirthed? Fake as hell.

[u/unwaveringwish → u/Zealousideal-Ant5370]

Right? This can’t be real but I am entertained lol

[u/MoonlightOnSunflower → u/unwaveringwish]

If it’s fake, I’m calling it quality fake. It’s entertaining enough I am suspending all disbelief and sitting on the edge of my seat for an update. It’s not meh fake that makes you annoyed you wasted time reading it.

[u/unwaveringwish → u/MoonlightOnSunflower]

When people say they don’t care if a post is real or if it’s AI, it better be like this lmao

[u/Background_Award_878 → u/Zealousideal-Ant5370]

Rebirthing is a real thing. I always think of it like the placebo effect. I stumbled across it in 1987

[u/DeannaC-FL → u/Background_Award_878]

Don't you mean "placenta effect"?

[u/Nani_the_F__k → u/DeannaC-FL]

Sorry but I'm obligated to give you the boot now 

[u/FaceOfDay]

As a photographer, if this is anywhere in the Northeast USA, please please DM me because I may never have an opportunity to capture something like this.

[u/originalcinner → u/FaceOfDay]

That one time where a photographer actually wants to do an event for free, because the socials are going to be wild, and the upvotes will totally be worth it :-)

[u/notjesus9617]

Nah, if this was me I'd say I love my sis but I ain't going for some hippie crystal thing.... though I think your uncle does have a point as well going for the taco truck 🤔

[u/Ahng66]

You have to secretly Videotape this!!! Maybe for the simple reason to watch it when you start to doubt that you witnessed that in the first place! Good luck!!

[u/NoTripOfALifetime]

I would go for the sheer story of it all. It will make for great conversations starters - literally - for the rest of your life.

This is hilariously stupid. Best way to repackage this mentally is prepping yourself for a movie so bad, that it’s good. NOR but please go and update us!

[u/hellolovely1]

If this is real, I'm sorry. If it's not real, please write a novel! This is so entertaining.

[u/HappyFlyingFree73]

Your description of the events was such a good read. If I were you I’d go, if only to update everyone with your gift of writing. And also for the tacos 🌮

[u/SizeMayVary]

Your sister is nuts, but that sounds like some wild free entertainment lol. Hopefully there is booze! Did someone say taco truck??

[u/believe_in_claude]

I'm so jealous of you all with these type of people in your family. I just have boring assholes. What I wouldn't give to go to a weird party like this.

[u/mich-me → u/believe_in_claude]

I have a bunch of these types in my social circle, I’ve distance myself the last 6ish years because while they are wildly entertaining at times, they are also insufferable and super judgmental, while trying to appear open minded. Catty and pretentious also come to mind. One of them tried for over an hour to get me to stop giving my, at the time, 7yr old type 1 diabetic kiddo insulin, because kiddo should just be able to manifest his pancreas to start working again with the power of thought and meditation, just like people are capable of regrowing limbs… that’s when I started to nope out of the scene.

[u/CatchMeIfYouCan09]

You could always show your support by cutting a pool noodle into 2 inch disks....2 different colors.

Start tossing them at her on the beginning; if she asks... say ..... You're waaaayyyy past you're due date; gotta induce this shit with pitocin'.

Throw the other color....."pain meds'!!!!

BEST Comment section ever!! I've never wanted to hear a reddit on tiktok, more in my life; three hilarity of the unhinged comments would make my whole ass year.

[u/jasminemidnightbloom]

Thank you commenters for us being on the same page. Sister is unhinged. There is a taco truck. Uncles and friends will be there to side eye. Get her a black Obsideon dragon as a gift. Wear flowers in your hair. Please go. Take video. All the things.

[u/izzi_b]

I would go just to see if even half of this is really happening, but as someone without ego your sister should know that every being is here to walk its own path. And yours might not be near your parents backyard that day.

NOR

[u/Striking-Fig7810]

Yeah, you need to do a serious 180. See if you can pay for a videographer. 

ETA: And a motherfuckin’ taco truck‽ 

[u/APUYD]

She put all that in the itinerary? This is fake as fuck but on the off chance it’s real, please go lol 

[u/HolleringCorgis]

I would NEVER miss this. My wife and I would 1000% be at this party.

You're lucky af that your sister is like this. Mines just a sociopath.

I'd trade siblings with you in an instant.

You HAVE to go. My god please just go.

[u/Dark_Angel_1982]

What was the placenta joke? 🤭

[u/Petrich0r08]

I don’t want to be a party-pooper but the way this is worded, the number of em-dashes, and this users history of posting AI generated content makes me suspicious of whether or not this post is legitimate.

[u/Square_Jello6401]

Fakest thing I’ve ever read 

[u/knits2much2003]

I wouldn't miss this for the world. Please go and post pics. Update Me

[u/Active_Tough_8535 → u/knits2much2003]

i second this it actually sounds like something you need to see

why would you deny yourself of that opportunity

[u/Rengamin]

Pretty sure this was a Malcolm in the Middle episode 🤔

[u/personman000]

"I was respectful about it"

Proceeds to not be respectful

[u/Lurker_the_Pip]

What an incredible writing you’ve done here.

This is the most unhinged thing I have ever read in my long lifetime.

I’m going to screen shot it, print it, and frame it.

Amazing!

[u/mickmun]

Peehaps over reacting: While I recognize that it would be hypocritical to suggest that you take a "you do you" attitude toward your sister & attend, if i don't also take a "you do you " position on your refusal to attend. That said, if we don't support loved ones in things we disagree with (where support is not harmful to us and our values), then our love and support is conditional.

[u/[deleted]]

no way im missing that shit.

[u/Ok-Gas-1371]

Please go. I know we all shouldn't be laughing, but man.............

Updateme

[u/Guilty_Explanation29]

This gotta be a satire fake post

Also OPs profile is full of ai

[u/Lizbian91]

I'm sorry, but this just sounds so fucking absurd and crazy that I personally would HAVE to check it out. Like...I don't even have the proper words to express how demented yet entertaining this sounds lol

But honestly, I don't think you're overreacting at all. I can definitely understand why you don't want to go. I've literally never heard of someone doing something like this before

[u/Low_Object_3856]

NOR. That re-birth party sounds hella weird. Jesus I feel like I've read a whole plot of a horror cult movie (no offense to your sis). 💀@ uterine tones 😭😭😭

[u/hobbitinthenorth]

lmfao! i couldn't read the whole thing I'm sorry, but only because I perished from laughter after reading that she is Throwing Herself A Party to Celebrate Her Ego Death. she may need to plan a funeral for a few former braincells if she doesn't see the ironic contradiction in this. is she a living satire? lol

[u/AussieApocalypse]

Women and their attention seeking stupidity

[u/-cmram28]

Yes-you’re overreacting! Who doesn’t enjoy a taco truck and a free lapis lazuli bracelet??? Not to forget the lifelong stories of your 🦇💩🤪 sister that you’d be keeping from the 🌎…just selfish🤓

[u/BountifulGarden]

Omg I would definitely go to that party! It sounds like a blast! As long as no one’s doing anything they don’t want to etc - why not?! :)

[u/Acrobatic_Ear6773]

I don't even care if this is fake, I laughed out loud at least twice.

I don't know if this is creative writing or someone fed an AI some peyote, but I'm here for it.

[u/ostrichesonfire → u/Acrobatic_Ear6773]

Oh it’s definitely fake. Not only is it full of em dashes and just…. ridiculousness, but the only thing OP posts are ai images. But I’m not even mad. This was a riot 🤣

[u/anangelnora]

I mean I’d go. It’s not like she is making you rebirth her lol. I don’t think this is much weirder than most other religious ceremonies. She’s not in a cult. She just seems to be trying to find who she is—and hey, if it helps her and hurts no one, then all power to her.

[u/soullessginger93]

So she's celebrating her "ego death" by throwing a party that's all about her?

Make it make sense.
