They Stalk Playlist 1 - "Urban Crawl": There Is No Escape From Being Hunted In the City

10 Hatef--k - The Bravery

PUMPED IT OUT, WOOOOOOOO!!!! Making up for the lost day >:,,,V Here's Sano with the song Hatef--k! It's a song fit for a sadist uwu

Hmmm I'm a lil loopy from sleep dep (tho I wont post this until the morning that I wake up to space it out lol) but some of my thoughts on Sano: Aaaahh I loooooooove that you get to have an ending where he takes you in and you join him. I was spoiled!!!! I went into BTD and that route was my first one! It made me think 'wow, this will be a game that lets you have good endings if you find the right choices' but nope! I just got lucky and it made the other two routes a more frustrating for me X,D I hadn't realized it was a murder game first and the 'romantic' subplot was an exception, but I learned! Anyways-

I really like this boy. Murder couple for the win <3

Next song for today is gonna be 'Air-Conditioned Love' by Ludo! A favorite band of mine ;o;! And, if you'd like, please vote on my poll for what Yandere playlist theme I should go for next <3 Thank you!

5 Stages: a Tron/Clu playlist

The Five Stages of Rectification is, at last, complete, and though I didn't really advertise it, the final chapter has got some serious Tron/Clu action. And since I already did a playlist for Alan/Flynn... Have some songs for the sado-masochistic train wreck that is Tron/Clu.

CONTAINING: hunger and hostility, the eroticism of violence, the mortifying desire to be loved.

Duuude. Why does this fuck so hard

WRITING A COHERENT REVIEW OF SKINAMARINK IS HARD.

Song of the day: “Jack-o’-Lantern-Man” by the Bravery. 

Tomorrow’s my birthday. I’m going out to get vaxxed, then get brunch and dinner. I’m slowly redecorating my room, so I got some posters but won’t unwrap them until tomorrow. Also bought more winter clothes. Wearing black jeans rn. The first jeans I’ve worn in years. I don’t usually like wearing pants lol. 

Finally saw Skinamarink. Expectations were met. It blew me away. Like, an entire essay could be written on why I liked it so much. Watch it if you value aesthetics over plot in film. I do. 

At least when it comes to horror movies. I tend to watch horror and read (murder) mystery. Not so much the other way around. Whereas mysteries are plot-driven, horror media can either rely on plot or visuals/descriptions and be enthralling.

One problem I have with a lot of films is their cinematography. It often seems to take a backseat to plot, dialogue, and score/soundtrack. Which is why I love aestheticism. Well, that and symbolism. Deeper meanings are great, too.

I adore all the fan theories Skinamarinkers (?) are coming up with. Normally, “he’s in a coma” fanons bore me. But the dad said Kevin bumped his head, then the rest of Skinamarink is basically a hundred minutes of nursery nightmares. Faces aren’t shown properly.

MAKE SURE TO WATCH WITH SUBTITLES. (Unfortunately, the director’s commentary doesn’t have those.) AND THE SHORT PROOF OF CONCEPT HECK BEFOREHAND. It’s on YouTube. If you like it, you’ll like Skinamarink. Also, it unnerved me a bit more.  

Skinamarink made me feel so many things. Excitement. Nostalgia. Sympathy. Nostalgia. Fear. Well, mostly just fear when the phone got those toony eyes. There are a couple jump scares, but the movie’s more about slowly mounting dread. Plus making viewers pity the protagonists.

I feel like I’m super biased towards Skinamarink because it taps into my nostalgia. The amount of media it makes me want to reminisce about... All those “child(ren) up against a bogeyman” stories.

Those parallels between the classic cartoons and what the Voice in the Dark does to Kaylee and Kevin. The same Fisher-Price toy phone we had. Classic cartoons that were on either VHS or LaserDisc, watched in our snug basement. “The Cobweb Hotel” creeped me out so badly as a kid. At least I had my great-grandmother’s elephant figurines to watch over me. Dad’s cuckoo clock, too. 

The commentary mentions there are some anachronisms, like with the toys. Skinamarink takes place in 1995, but has that orange LEGO brick separator from 2011. Which just makes it more personally relatable to me.

My family’s always been practical, using things until they break. I have a DVD player that’ll turn twenty next year. So it wouldn’t surprise me if someone else has the VHS player somewhere. The only movies I remember watching on LaserDisc were The Wizard of Oz and Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. But Oz is one of my all time faves and got watched a LOT. We had a bunch of obsolete or antique things and new things.

Going back to the toy phone… There was a Bruce Coville Magic Shop book that had a witch call the protagonist and her little brother on one. Jennifer Murdley’s Toad? And I’ve seen creepy art of Fisher-Price phones before.

Disclaimer: ED IS WRONG. CANADIANS NEED TO GET WEIRDER. I hope Skinamarink inspires people to make more weirdass movies.
