Dark humor is comedy that finds levity in morbid, taboo, or disturbing subject matter—using wit to defang fear, suffering, or mortality.
In the Psycheverse
Psyche deploys dark humor as both a survival tool and spiritual practice, cracking jokes about death and catastrophe while maintaining genuine esoteric inquiry. The humor serves as a pressure valve during moments of real crisis and as a bridge between the sacred and the absurd, particularly when engaging with darker mythological material like Lovecraft's pantheon.
