#I think they are proud of us

still can’t believe dan and phil made a video for april fool’s day of all occasions that can be analyzed so thoroughly and has so many nuances and subtext that the girlies on tumblr are writing literary analyses about it. I love it so much. dan and phil gives us more content like this, i can feel it making me smarter just by reading all of these analyses

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?

Dracula Daily holidays are so funny to me. Every other day I’ll log onto tumblr and see people being like “HAPPY LIZARD FASHION DAY EVERYONE!!” or “foul bauble of man’s vanity day my beloved <3”. I love how we all agree that some parts of this book are so iconic that they must be celebrated. We haven’t even hit Shovel Day yet

don't get me wrong, i love all the positivity around being aro, like "be proud of being aro!! love who you are!!", but we never talk about how hard it is to reach that spot. so here's to the aros who are still trying to understand themselves, who aren't proud of who they are yet, who are still coming to terms with their new identity.

one of many apologies

i said this before but i love that some things are left unadressed between these two! like bakugo does apologize and deku does forgive (hes crazy), but i feel like if they rlly want to be friends again (theyre crazy), then they need to talk some things out there is no way around adressing some of the more impactfulUhurtful things that bakugo did 🐐 anyway i like to think about ways in which bakugo would apologize to deku for telling him to jump out of a window (wild) helpppp......... apologizing is hard, esp for someone as stubborn as Bakugo (he's a taurus aries cusp helppppp) but he TRIES and deku WAITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry if some of these overlap a little/if I left out something obvious kajbdsjkd I tried my best haha. And that's why there's an "other" option!
