Friendly reminder that fan-made content (fanart, fanfic, fanvids, etc) are:
extremely time consuming. Remember someone actually took time out of their life to create that, time they could’ve used to, idk, sleep, for example
entertainment you’re consuming for free. I can’t stress this enough: you’re enjoying someone else’s craft for free. You paid exactly zero money to look at/read/watch it.
S H A R E D with you, not made for you. This is the most important point: someone created that, put it online and you found it. No one forced you to consume that fanwork, you C H O S E to do it.
Whenever you feel like leaving a mean comment, anonymous hate or make a ~clever post about how ‘lol look at all of these overused tropes every fic writer crams into their fics’ remember you’re being a dick to someone who shared their work with you. You’re not being funny, you’re not being edgy, you’re not being brave for calling something out - you’re being a dick.
i actually really wanna talk about the driller killer from slumber party massacre 2 for a minute bc he has really become an object of my obsession lately and i don’t think he’s talked about enough
so. this guy. he doesn’t have a name. he doesn’t have a backstory. he doesn’t even really have a true motive beyond getting to the final girl, courtney bates. but you know what he does have?
a fucking badass GUITAR DRILL as a slasher weapon and you know what else he has????
not one but TWO rockabilly musical numbers.
on top of being a rockabilly leather clad dreamboat (literally, he can manifest himself in dreams and cause hallucinations like freddy fucking krueger), he’s played by atanas ilitch, the son of a billionaire entrepreneur that owns little ceaser’s pizza among many other things
his character is relentlessly flirty, goofy and entertaining as all hell and i am so obsessed with him.
slumber party massacre 2 is on shudder, tubi and on youtube (for free). you don’t need to see the first one to get 2, but that one is also pretty good.
but please do yourself a favor and watch it, i need more people to love this guy
