HAMMY'S POSTING. Well I've been thinking about The Eyes of the Universe for a whole minute now. And I realized that, besides in one post and his About, I have never really gone into depth about my headcanons regarding their symbiotic relationship. So lemme talk about that.

Pelo mentioned on Twitter once that Eyes is only a threat to anyone that is NOT Skid and Pump. In Skid's case, the reason is obvious (he is not even affected by Eyes' influence). But I believe in Pump's case it is because he is Eyes' most trustworthy pair of... well, eyes. The eldritch being likely has many vessels, many eyes, out there but Pump is his most important one. After all, he is the closest to Skid (the closest Eyes can influence, that is). And, if push were to come to shove, and there were no other options, he can and will protect his best friend. That is what the Eyes of the Universe needs in a vessel. That is why Pump is an exception, why his eyes turn blue at the sign of danger.

Pump is not "possessed" by Eyes, per se. Eyes does not want to straight out control him, just exercise his influence on him. That is the reason (I personally believe that) Pump became "quirkier" and "unpredictable" after the events of SM2. All of those out-of-pocket things he says out loud (like wanting to set a Happy Fella on fire to "see if it would scream"); the fact that he carries a hammer and a lighter around; those constant displays of rule-breaking behavior, it is all because of what Eyes has done to his mind. He probably had those thoughts and ideas already, but Eyes gave him the push he needed to carry them out. In this dynamic, Pump is very easy to influence and Eyes is a "voice of reason". """Reason""".

Is Pump resistant to possession just because of Eyes? Yeah, in theory, he should be. Just like Skid. Problem is, Eyes cannot do anything if Pump invites the hypothetical vampires (aka, other beings) to come into his hypothetical house (aka, his mind). That is why Moloch managed to possess him and Skid in spite of everything, because they allowed him to possess them. There is only so much control Eyes can exercise without outright taking over, and, while he could do it at any point, he would only do it to speak through Pump.

The Eyes of the Universe does not just exist as a voice in the back of Pump's head, he also appears in the kid's dreams often. And the dreams tend to vary too. Sometimes, Pump is just another pumpkin in a large pumpkin patch under an endless starry night. Some other times, he is in tine middle of a void with hundreds of eyes staring at him. Sometimes… actually, it's not like he remembers the extent of what happens in those dreams after he wakes up, or what he was told in them. But he still ends up doing certain things afterwards. He is like a pawn.

the dad's side of the story is just moving pieces around on the board with no real interesting conflicts (there is one character conflict that could be interesting but is utterly ridiculous and somehow deeply predictable at the same time) and i really hate how this movie has reinterpreted the anti-fascist and anti-conservative themes of Wrong Turn 6 to be anti-communist. this movie keeps somehow surprising me with how bad it's willing to get, and it's not good right now.

started watching the 2021 Wrong Turn reboot and my god, somehow i keep being stunned that there's like actual money and effort behind this movie and that like it's an actual movie that like released in theaters and not just like a straight-to-DVD movie you have to be okay with like the five other movies before it. it's also the first Wrong Turn movie to be in ultrawide (2.39:1) compared to everything before it that was traditional widescreen (2-6 were 1.78:1, the first movie was 1.85:1).

also, multiple people of color in the cast and the movie is at least aware that racism exists and is trying to do commentary on it and showcase how it manifests so that's going to be something. this movie better be really fucking good to require just shy of two fucking hours of my time but so far i'm really optimistic, this looks and feels and sounds like an actual movie and has like actually good writing and editing and directing so far but i am only 6 minutes in so it could go downhill but i'm genuinely optimistic from the production quality so far.

How do you find old TD art and blogs?

Honestly it kind of depends?

For the more active blogs who are longtime members of the fandom, i'll spot them sometimes in my notifications, get curious and then realise they're an older blog, at that point i'll go through their archives and see if there's anything of interest to me.

For older, less active blogs (or posts with deactivated OPs), i'll usually find them through other older blogs that are still online via popular posts - the first time i really combed through an older blog for posts was that exact scenario, i noticed the blog that made the "happy april 22nd" post was still around and i scrolled way back (which is also how i found out that you can disable archives for blogs. apparently.)

a huge majority of the older content on this website comes from deactivated blogs, but their posts are kept online via people who had reblogged them when their blog was still up so actually finding those older blogs is great!

I do think however that i've probably combed through every still online older TD fandom blog here (unless there's more obscure 2013 something blogs still up) so the oldest remaining blogs i haven't looked through would be from the 2020-2021 era of the fandom, and it's not one im super interested in tbh :/

[warriorprincesstramp]

need to get really into a mid yet ultimately compelling 100k fanfiction. yet I do not care about any of these stupid popular couples even a little bit

[camellia-thea]

initially this post had some commentary about interests right now. and then it turned into a ramble about personal healing in the tags. so the interest post is going separately.

[quixot1sm]

as someone who also ships isshu but hates confrontation I'm so greateful you're willing to entertain all those stupid arguments so the rest of us can just send links to your posts

oh trust me im a nervous creature by nature and i hate it too! but im also very easily frustrated by people being confidently wrong about my longest and deepest special interest thus i have to be nert's strongest soldier

Wrong Turn: The Requel and What It Needs

Wrong Turn: The Requel and What It Needs. Fringe Fiction's opinion on what the requel needs to make the film better.

Wrong Turn (2021) Official Trailer Wrong Turn (2021) was another underwhelming requel to say the least. It wasn’t because it was “woke,” as some defined it. The movie had too much filler and did not bring the campy horror it much needed. The original Wrong Turn (2003) was significantly better and much more enjoyable as campy horror than the 2021 remake. Wrong Turn (2003) Trailer Wrong Turn…
