@djxoriginalz51@WildComputers I’m pointing out the hypocrisy of the post, it’s amazing that we get a free remaster but that doesn’t mean that the sequel is free
Did you know Friday the 13th’s reputation is tied to the Knights Templar?
On October 13, 1307, at dawn, King Philip IV of France ordered their arrest in a coordinated sweep across the country. Sealed instructions had been delivered weeks in advance and were opened simultaneously so no one could warn them or flee.
The Templars were not fringe monks. They were a powerful military and financial order, landowners, bankers, and major creditors to the French crown.
Philip was deeply in debt to them.
They were accused of heresy, blasphemy, and secret rituals, charges most historians consider politically motivated. Many were tortured until they confessed. Those confessions were then used to dissolve the order and justify seizing their wealth.
Over the following years, leaders were imprisoned and executed. In 1314, Grand Master Jacques de Molay was burned at the stake in Paris after publicly retracting his forced confession.
Friday the 13th didn’t begin as superstition.
It began with a king who didn’t feel like paying his bills.
The holidays hit different for some people.
Grief. Stress. Loneliness. Memories.
For some, this season brings empty chairs, quiet phones, and reminders of what’s been lost—or never was.
If you’re just getting through the day, that’s enough.
If this season feels heavy—
that doesn’t make you weak.
It makes you human.
You don’t have to fake joy.
You don’t have to explain your pain.
And you don’t have to carry it alone.
You’re still here.
And you’re not alone.
