#but also feel unnerved about it

i have now read a total of two(2) fics where gale reallizes post-canon that astarion is basically homeless and invites him to live with him and let me tell you

i. am. obsessed.

okay i know we all love big brown doe eyed eddie but. can we please talk about how he has blue eyes in the book.

because like yeah in the book he's described as having greyish blue eyes. but like. eddie kaspbrak with weezer blue eyes. imagine it. right now. imagine tiny eddie like staring directly into richie's eyes to deliver an impassioned speech about infections. just staring. staring right into his very soul. now that would make the IT movies scary. or in the scene where henry stabs eddie and eddie's closing the shower curtain and he's like half laughing. imagine that scene and he has just. freakishly blue eyes. TERRIFYING.

Slowly rotating designs for the meat marionette bodies.

Only sketched Dick & Bruce for now, but I like to think that they're partially made from their own blood. Any corpse that doesn't make it to the morgue, human or animal, might get dragged down by tendrils Gemini Home Entertainment style to the Hive.

Apologies if I am spamming, but what do you think @phoenixcatch7? Tried to make Dick look slightly more mammalian or avian compared to Bruce but idk if that came through lol.

if you have not played spooky's jumpscare mansion you should even if you don't like jumpscares (i think they're a nuanced art but generally cheaply used, and i think this game is great). also, unless you have a heart condition, absolutely play it blind. don't spoil yourself, because the game is not just scary, but hilarious.

i'm not trying to trick you or hurt you, i say this with love for you to experience something fun, and love for a game that deserves to be experienced. it's got DLC too. i wish it was the kinda of game that got even more every now and then, given the game's structure.

i'm truly so fond of that game. that said, if you're really sure you need a taste of what to expect, to be safe, with the defanging effect of it being an LP where people aren't deliberately trying to overreact, this one-off video that only goes a portion of the way through its length but absolutely give you the gist to know if you'd want more, is a good look in and the banter keeps it so silly the possible startles are defanged

lost in vivo is also extremely good, but it's much more straightforward horror, and i'd have to rack my brain for possible trigger warnings, but basically it's "so we took the genuinely creepy moments in spooky's jumpscare mansion, and proved we could sustain that for a whole game"

i will probably play basilisk here in this next week. it's been so long since i've actually let myself just play a videos game.

the problem is I’m such a staunch believer in the slow buildup, the earnest enjoyment of meandering through terrible story decisions and weird nothing subplots to build up into a conclusion that explodes out from all that as fantastic storytelling and intrigue based on all that buildup, such that it makes it necessary to get through all that or you’re missing something essential, that I’m also a terrible person to talk to about what makes a story good. I can tell you plenty of what actually makes something tight and well-written and all that technical speak but how could anyone take my advice when I so so so love excruciatingly long unnecessarily complex fumbling and weird nonsense that spirals into, inexplicably, weird nonsense that makes you cry your lungs sore

[gio-cosmo]

The soundtrack to this game is absolutely phenomenal btw

[steelycunt]

an um. snippet. from me. for the first time since. july :-)

[pipskippy]

rly wish they brought the endearingly odd parts of the original revue starlight play to the anime/movies…for example like hikari’s unnerving fake smile/demeanor and junna’s hysterical laugh out of nowhere and futaba’s more aggressive attitude. also i miss maya’s white gloves. and unrelated but yeah nana should be taller she should be like 6 foot at least

i feel like no one wants to see animal death (photos) which i understand but i had quite a jumpscare at work today. walked in the freezer to put some things away for the meat department and see a pigs whole head sitting on a gray tray... her body is gone but her head is not butchered, except for her eyes. you can see her teeth..even the hairs on her chin... her snout. but no eyes. ... could not stop staring.

[jacksprostate]

this will be unpopular probably but idk i've been called slurs a time or two and it's personally uncomfortable to see... obviously do as you please in general but when interacting with me or my posts i'd really prefer if yall didn't casually use fag, etc in place of gay and stuff 👍

One could argue that my obsession with specifically the bloodier sections of Hannibal, the scenes that show humans in excruciating pain, as well as my obsession with Red Dragon’s depiction of Will’s imagination, painful and attractive in the most disgusting way, both paved the way for my becoming obsessed with such properties as Claustrophilia (a novel that honestly reads like Hannibal got his hands on season 1 Will, I’m dead serious, they even mention Silence of the Lambs, like, author knows) and Saw (a property thay pretty much deals exclusively in human suffering)

It could also explain my fascination with the idea inherent within all these properties, that being the idea that a human who is put through immense suffering might then decide to put other humans through the same or worse. Hannibal put a lot of emphasis on Hannibal himself specifically wanting Will to kill with him, to reveal his inner self, so to speak. Red Dragon Will fears killing people immensely for fear that he would be seduced by the bloodlust curdling inside of him. Claustrophilia, I don’t want to spoil if anyone wants to read it, but it shares that same idea. The only character in Saw who survives a Jigsaw trap without either joining a depressing group therapy session or becoming one of Jigsaw’s many (many) protegés is the lady who cut off her arm in, like, movie 6.

It could also explain why I like the idea of obsessive characters. Characters who are obsessed to the point of murder, characters with the internal motivation that if they cannot have something, no one can. The so-called “yandere” character who would rather kill their love than not have them locked in a box in the basement.

(Does Saw fit this frame? I don’t know, man, that one guy’s “trap” was just talking. All he had to do was sit calmly and have a semi-nice chat with another dude. Who sets that trap up without at least a little hint of obsession? And the glass coffin scene, man, I do not even have to go there, we all know. And carrying around the only remaining body part? Even for planting evidence, like, dude. Dude.)

(Does Red Dragon fit this? Yes. Hannibal literally stabbed Will so Will would be permanently physically changed by him. He gives the Dragon of the title Will’s address in hopes that something will happen that will once again change Will’s entire life so he can never forget about Hannibal. The first time Hannibal talks to Clarice in Silence of the Lambs, he asks about Will and, more specifically, Will’s looks. Red Dragon fits this, I cannot emphasize enough how many murderers want to break Will’s back in any way they can, like, it’s practically an epidemic (it’s two people))

What is it that fascinates me so? The blood? The fuel of all life? The changing a person so fundamentally that they can’t move without thinking of the one who changed them? The holding on too tight? The tragedy? The absolutely hilarious AUs that can be written? Yes.

most if not all of my worst nightmares are literally always zombie apocalypse related

I genuinely loathe emergency alarms with every fiber of my being. Whether it be an amber alert or thunderstorm warning or what have you. It makes the static worse. Along with phone calls from anonymous or spam callers - which I rarely get, but when I do, oskwnslapwkfjskallz. They’re in my closet or some shit they’re in my house and calling to tell me they are inside like ghost face or something I have always hated all of these. I hate calls and texts sometimes because of this. I only dislike texts if it only shows a random number. Calls and general I don’t like. Unless I know beforehand someone is calling I can’t stand it. There’s the other half of my brain that’s thrilled by danger and actively throws myself into it and then there’s this. I think I only enjoy it when I’m in control of it. Perhaps. Otherwise the static takes hold. And it’s been doing so more than ever lately. It tells me the truth though !

now that suddence is out to betas i'm oscillating between getting more and more self conscious and overthinking about everything that might be wrong with the story vs. knowing that is literally THE POINT of betas and i can't in good conscience let my story slide out into the world with a bunch of faults i didn't catch simply because i was too close to it

thinking about my left behind 60s villain to the creeper proteus

I feel like rin was supposed to be the weird one of team 7. like there's kks who is a genius, then obito who is the dumbass, and most people assign rin to be the voice of reason but like BOO boring. rin is the girl who stares at the sky and declares she sees aliens chilling in the clouds. she's been friends with obito since they were FIVE. she is an expert at making uchiha go berserk. her go-to healing solution for minor injuries's slapping plantago over a wound. she eats pure mayo for breakfast

I am pro weird girl energy rin
