#hm should i make a tag for my adventures in the horror genre??

[swinging-stars-from-satellites]

What did you think of The Thing? 👀

VERY GOOD THANK YOU FOR RECCING IT TO ME!!! some reactions here:

that was... certainly An Experience, especially the bits with the dogs, bc I always hate when stuff happens to animals and so the dogs in the kennel freaking out and screaming made me Sad (especially since MY dog was in bed with me at the time ahdkdjskk).

why was Macready wearing a dumb sombrero/fedora mashup OVERTOP OF HIS HOOD how does that even work

definitely spent quite a bit of time crossreferencing the film with that X-Files episode that was semi-inspired by it — there's a lot of visual parallels, lighting and stuff, even aside from the plot points, which I think is really interesting. the concept and execution is EXTREMELY similar — even one of the side characters in the TXF episode seems like he may have been based on Windows? — but the... idk I guess functionality of the alien parasites in each are very different, and it's fun to compare and contrast! (TXF gets credit for Not killing their dog though ahsjsnsk... warms my heart)

Kurt Russell's hair is better than mine and I'm slightly miffed about that

the practical effects???? DUDE. it's SO COOL

I liked Windows, didn't like seeing his head get eaten

also when they were slicing their thumbs to get blood toward the end I had to look away, blood and stuff doesn't bother me and even hand gore doesn't get me, but very specifically fingertips??? *shudders* (this probably has to do with the fact that I permanently scarred a fingernail once by slamming my finger in a car door on accident, and also the time I accidentally sliced one of my nails against a cheese grater... I do not like that ahsjdjsksk. I wouldn't even let my mom prick my finger when we got at-home blood typing kits lol)

the lighting was... really pretty?? it is very dark (I maybe should have upped the brightness on my iPad screen tbh) but it's super atmospheric and the last scene with the stark black and white of night and snow, lit up by flare-orange flames? *my longest yeah boy ever*

also somewhat fittingly, it snowed here last night 😂

all in all I really liked that, i think technically speaking it's probably the first actual horror film I've really watched??? which is surprising considering how much I love the genre tbh but yeah! thanks sm for recommending it; now I'm gonna go pull out that list from when I asked you about horror movies and make a checklist of what to watch next lol 💖

[Chapter 1] [Chapter 2(You are here)] [Chapter 3]

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

After school, you packed all your belongings on your desk to your bag. “Ready to go?” Bakugo asked, flying in front of you. You nodded. Not sure where you both are going. “I could use some school mysteries instead of having a plain school.” You smiled. 

He grinned devilishly. “Then this is the great place for you. Just hope you aren’t a scardy cat in the decent looking basement.” You unaudibly gulped. “Basement? The school has a basement?” “Yep, I went through every detail of this shitty school and it has a basement. It’s big enough to carry 100 dead people.” He taunted. 

“A.... 100 corpses?” You began sweating. “You scared princess/prince? Hah, weak.” Bakugo grabbed your hand and began walking you to the room where the basement door was hidden.

“The Janitor’s closet?” He nodded. “Yep, once I spawned in the basement. It was big that I couldn’t explore all the other rooms in under a minute, so I thought that we should go together. Seeing your face probably makes this exploration more funny.” 

You punched his shoulder again. “I should probably tell my parents that I’ll go home late today. I don’t want to get grounded.” Bakugo rolled his eyes and nodded. You went out the Janitor’s closet then took out your phone, calling your mother. 

“Y/n? Where are you?” Your mother asked. “I’m here at the library studying late, is that fine?” Your mother from the other line sighed. “Fine. Just come here before 7 okay?” “Thanks mom! You’re the best!” Then you hung up. You went back inside the Janitor’s closet to see Bakugo bored.

“FINALLY! Took you long enough. Let’s go before it gets late.” He threw a carpet that was covering the trapdoor to the basement. “Woah.” Bakugo made a small smile at your sudden interest. “Woah it is alright. You go first.” He opened the trapdoor that made a creaking sound. You didn’t move, instead, you froze. He raised an eyebrow. “What are you waiting for? Go!” He began getting impatient. 

“No thanks.” You looked away. “You should probably go first.” Bakugo groaned and murmured ‘What a wimp.’. Then he went inside the trapdoor and climbed down. “HEY WAIT FOR ME!” You shouted from above, now going down with him.

“Now your coming with me? Thought you didn’t want to hm?” He teased. You ignored him an looked around. The basement was covered in webs, and dusts. You walked around until you accidentally stepped on a puddle. You stepped back and looked at the puddle which was brown. “Is that.... BLOOD?!” You shrieked and went behind Bakugo who was laughing. 

“BAHAHAHAHA!” “H-hey! Don’t laugh at me!” You blushed in embarrassment. “No can do, Sweet cheeks.” He winked, then laughed again. Once his laughter finally died down, you both walked through the dirty hall. 

Bakugo went to a room which you think was the bathroom. You walked in front a stall and tried to open it. “It wouldn’t budge. Can you check what’s at the other side?” He grumbled but nodded. He floated to see what was at the other side and shrugged. 

“Aren’t you going to tell me what’s in it?” You quirked an eyebrow. He shooked his head. “It’s a surprise.” You shivered, thinking it was a bad idea. But you tried to pry it open. Once it did, a mannequin fell onto the floor. You immediately jumped back and screamed. Bakugo laughed at you once again. 

“Why didn’t you tell me!?” You whined. “It almost gave me a heart attack!” 

“Shut the fuck up it was fun. Atleast your like in a horror house but it’s free! It’s great!” He wiped the tears from laughing. You pouted. This was the second time he had laughed at you directly. 

Once his laughter died down once again. “Here, hold my hand if your that scared.” He joked. But you held his hand and went outside the bathroom. He blushed, not knowing that you took it seriously. 

You both entered a different room to see mannequins scattered in the room. “Why the fuck are there so many mannequins here?” He murmured. “I heard the school was a fashion house before. It was the most popular building until it got bankrupt. Then it turned into this school. I just wonder why they left their things here...” You explained, touching a ribbon in your hand. 

He hummed. Looking around for something. “Nothing cool in here, let’s go.” He didn’t wait for your response since he already left the room. “Wait for me!” You yelled, running towards him. He stopped and waited. You slowed down as you get closer to the blonde. You took out your phone to check the time and gasped. 

Bakugo looked at you questioningly. “What is it?” He asked. “IT’S 6:57! WE NEED TO GO ASAP BEFORE I GET IN TROUBLE!” You tugged his shirt. “Meh.” 

“Really?! Are you kidding me? Ugh, Let’s go!” You tried on dragging him but failed. He wouldn’t budge. “Come on we can continue this tomorrow..!” Nothing. 

“Fine! I’ll leave you here then!” Then you began running away, then climbing the ladder to the Janitor’s closet. “Damn it.” He murmured, then he trailed along with you.

☽✧ ✦ ✧☾

“YOUNG LADY/MAN, WHERE WERE YOU?!” You flinched at your mother’s loudness. “It’s already 7:15, didn’t I tell you to come home at 7?!” You looked behind your mother to find your brother snickering behind her. “I’m sorry mom..” You apologized. “That’s a warning, Y/n. The next time it happens, you’ll be grounded for a week got it?” You nodded then slowly walked to your room. 

Bakugo followed you, frowning that he didn’t get to explore the basement much more.

11/11/11

I waited too long to do this, so now I have 44 questions to do. RIP. Tagged by @writersblockandapotoftea, @arwallace (I know you tagged @expositionpreposition but it’s easier to do it here!), @shit-she-wrote, and @atinydino

Cap:

Who was your childhood hero?

Honestly, probably JKR. Again, RIP.

If we didn’t start the fire, who did?

People like my dad who say “millennials” like it’s a derogatory word probably

What made you start your wip?

Reading too much Dresden Files and also looking at magic academia posts on Tumblr (Gutter Witch); Reading Eragon (Companion to Dragons); Wanting to make an open magic world (Witches Anthology); Reading too much Stucky fanfiction (Fractal); Listening to the Magnus Archives three times through in a month (CHAF3k); wanted to go on a magic adventure with my high school friends (Children of the Light)

Hogwarts house?

Gryffindor!

Star Trek or Star Wars

Star Wars, though I like both

What was your pre-teen bop?

Uhhh Taylor Swift’s whole second album

If you could have a fantasy creature as a pet, what would you pick?

A dragon about the size of a cat that could sit on my shoulder and talk to me

What’s your pet peeve?

Feeling like people are upset with me but won’t talk to me about it

Dracula or Frankenstien’s Monster?

Haven’t read Dracula so Frankenstein’s monster, I guess.

What’s the weirdest thing you’ve said to a friend?

I mean I had a conversation with two lesbians about dildos yesterday, soooo

If you had to murder someone, who would it be?

No one. I honestly don’t think I’d be able to live with myself after.

A R Wallace

Which book(s)/series would you compare your current WIP(s) to?

The Dresden Files. Though I did have someone say it was like reading a better-written Mortal Instruments. I was tickled.

Would you be willing to adapt your WIP into a movie one     day? Why or Why not?

Yes. Please. Let me see my work come to life.

What is your ‘writing ritual’? (do you make sure     you’ve made a cup of tea, sit in a particular spot, etc.)

I don’t have any particular ritual, I usually just try and seize the energy when I have it. Right now I am trying to sit at my actual desk to work, though, and during school if I had anything that I desperately needed to get done I took my ass to a coffee shop and told myself I wasn’t allowed to leave until it was done.

How much has writeblr helped you with your writing?

It helped me find a writing community that inspired me to get back to work after the depression had taken it away from me. I’m not as active on writeblr as maybe I could be, but the writing discord I found through it has been a lifeline.

If you could be one creature (real or mythical), what would you be?

A dragon. But like, one of the ones that can shapeshift. I also like being human.

Sum up your favorite WIP in one sentence

Oh god I’m supposed to have a favorite? That’s not gonna happen…

Gutter Witch: Local teens sick and tired of prophetic bullshit

Children of the Light: Estranged assholes learn to love each other again and also stop the apocalypse

Fractal: Hell on Earth in so many ways

Companion to Dragons: Girl’s asshole father sends her and her sister on a suicide mission and thinks that’s the end of it (surprise!)

Witches Anthology: literally a whole bunch of short stories so I’m not gonna try

Which of your characters is your favorite?

Whyyyyyy idk in GW probably Hunter, he’s fun to write. Overall maybe Sterling, my enby necromancer in the anthology

Which of your characters is your least favorite?

Hunter’s mother. Like honestly, every time I write about her she gets worse.

What do you believe is the most overused trope in your WIP’s genre(s)?

Melodrama.

Favorite season?

Autumn

If you could travel anywhere in the universe, where would you go?

Several places in Europe, in no particular order.

Eva:

1.     What’s the first story you remember writing?

A story about a cat and a mouse becoming friends.

2.     How has your taste in books changed since childhood?

I’ve tended a lot less towards high fantasy. I think it’s too much of an energy investment to try and understand the worldbuilding right now, whereas you can usually just jump into urban fantasy. I’ve also gotten a lot more interested in horror.

3.     Do you see any similarities to your favorite books in your work? If yes, what are they?

If I’m being real honest, most of my wips are direct rip-offs of stuff I’ve read/watched/listened to, at least in the first draft. I usually try and direct my obsessions into creative energy at some point, with differing amounts of success.

4.     What sort of music inspires you?

Stuff with strong beats/baseline and vaguely rebellious lyrics. So like, lots of Imagine Dragons and Fall Out Boy. But also trailer music like Epic Score and Two Steps from Hell

5.     Favorite book?

These are the most evil kinds of questions you guys.

I can’t think of any published books I’d call my absolute favorite, but I do have a handful of fanfics I read on at least an annual basis: War, Children, by Nonymos; To Be Vulnerable Is Needed Most of All, by perfect_plan; and Schroedinger’s Romance by lesbuchanan

6.     Favorite mythology (Greek, Norse, etc.)?

Probably Celtic? I’m really rusty on it though

7.     Dream vacation?

A long, long trip through Europe without having to worry about money

8.     Favorite writing snack?

I don’t really eat when I write because its too much of a distraction :P

9.     What tea do you drink the most while writing?

Irish Breakfast

10.  Do you have a special writing cup, that you drink tea out of specifically when writing to fill you up with inspiration?

I have a couple I’m more likely to grab, like my Night Vale Community Radio mug or my white Starbucks mug with the gold lettering

11. Write your favorite quote from your recent wip!!

Just outside the beam of light was a circle of what looked like black paint, tiny sigils scratched into it, shimmering uncannily in the dark. Wisps of that grim light drifted from the sigils to the figures at their center, dancing around Mara’s hands, clutching at Hunter’s shirt. Anywhere they touched his skin, blood seeped from a new laceration, sluggish and dark and horrible. 

“Hunter,” she breathed. 

Then she heard him. 

“Run, Cady,” he croaked. “Tell my mom...she’s a bitch.”

Ames:

1.     What’s your favorite season and why

Autumn! I love rain and also that it’s not super hot or super cold

2.     What’s your favorite food?

Bread.

3.     Who’s your favorite character in your most recent WIP?

Hunter Bishop, asshole extraordinaire

4.     Do you hide easter eggs in your writing? If so tell me a few.

Hm. If I do, I don’t consider them easter eggs, just references. Though I did have someone in my creative writing class ask if the sandwich my protagonist was eating was based on one served in one of the restaurants on campus (and he was right)

5.     Would you prefer your WIPs to be turned into a movie or tv series? (feel free to tell me about more than just 1)

Gutter Witch should just be a movie, and I’m leaning towards that for Witches as well. Fractal could go either way, though I’m leaning towards TV show. Children of the Light could go either way. CHAF3k will hopefully be a podcast at some point.

6.     If you could have a writing studio anywhere with anything in it, what would it be like and where would it be?

I like the nook I have, though I think I’d adjust the height of my desk chair and add a coffee maker and a closer bathroom so I don’t have to walk all the way across the apartment. Oh, and I’d get a massive whiteboard so I can go all conspiracy theory on my wips.

7.     What music do you listen to to get you in the zone? (the writing zone)

Trailer music! Epic Score and Two Steps from Hell. I can’t listen to music with lyrics while I try to make the words go.

8.     What’s your worldbuilding process?

Panic.

But actually, I think of the aesthetic I’m after and then try to make everything build off of that. Along the way I usually try to figure out what thing I’m consciously or unconsciously basing it off of so that I can make necessary changes.

9.     Who are your most influential authors?

JKR (sorry), Laini Taylor, Juliet Marillier, Tamora Pierce

10.  What’s your favorite kind of cookie?

French macarons

11. Give me your favorite excerpt for your recent WIP!

“I wanted to talk to Madge.”

“Madge is dead,” Hunter said, confused. 

“I’m aware,” she said. “I asked Death to take me to her, but she said she couldn’t and suggested projection instead.”

Hunter turned from the stove with the most dumbfounded expression Cady had ever seen outside of cinema. “You asked Death,” he repeated.

Cady snorted. “Yeah. I asked Death.”

“The cosmic power, Death.”

“The cosmic power, Death. We’re good friends. She comes over for tea on occasion.”

Hunter stared at her, expression halfway between disbelief and suspicion. “You’re fucking with me.”

“I’m not fucking with you,” Cady said. “Death is the whole reason I came to this Coven. She sent me here when I was thirteen.”

Hunter sank back against the counter, looking almost faint. Whatever he’d been cooking began to sizzle alarmingly. “Death has been...in this apartment.”

Cady nodded.

Not tagging anyone else on this one. I’ve learned my lesson lmao.
