Hey there! I'm Ghostie-Ghoulie. I have had this app for years and always wanted to post, so here I am!
Currently, I'm obsessed with anything Until Dawn or Resident Evil related. I can't ever shut my mouth about them.
My content will either consist of possible art or my fanfiction about certain fandoms I enjoy.
This is an 18+ blog! So, if you are a minor, please, in the most polite way possible, leave my page.
These Fandoms that I am a part of happen to be:
Until Dawn
Resident Evil (a personal favorite)
Horror movies (Ghostface, Hellrasier, Chucky, IT, Etc)
The Wolf Among Us
Mortal Kombat
Cyberpunk
Arcane
Team Fortress 2
Star Wars
Star Wars: The Bad batch
Ghost (band)
Sallyface
Bendy And The Ink Machine
Spiderman (mostly the spiderverse movies)
Dark Deception
Devil May Cry
More fandoms can be added later!
I will write Smut, oneshots, small imagines, and multichapter stories. I'm a sucker for smut, so you're gonna get that out of me once I finally get the hang of it.
Important note: I only write XReaders for now. I know that might suck for a lot of people, but it is something I heavily enjoy. I know people don't like it (Y/n, I'm looking at you), but the stereotypical cringe XReader stories that drive me up a wall will not be here. I will try my hardest to make the apperence vague, but personality might be a challenge. Though, hey! Everyone needs their practice. I can't go writing an emotionless reader, eh?
The readers I write for will mostly, if not entirely, be gender neutral or feminine. I'm sorry if this is a major letdown, but I do not trust my abilities to delve into a male reader just yet. I most write for male characters in general, and as love interests, but I can write for women when it comes to romance. I am both for ladies and gents.
Another very important note: I have a major history regarding mental health. Stress comes to me easy, and with stress comes heavy burnout. My brain gets fried, and my creativity goes down 6 feet under. All I ask is that you be very patient with me until I recover. This might mean small breaks or long breaks. Requests may be hard to handle, but if I'm ready, I'll think about doing them. You are able to send in asks! I may not be able to do full requests, but maybe some thoughts for a writing I could possibly start off with.
I am very understanding when it comes to emotional and mental related things because I have experienced my fair share of dealing with it. These topics will show up sometimes in various writings. If these bother you, worry not! Warnings will be placed.
This is a page friendly one towards everyone. I do not stand for hate of any kind. Sure, we're through a damn screen, but I still won't tolerate it. So please, no hate or arguments. If opinions differ, it doesn't mean we need to clash.
Characters that I could possibly write for consist of:
Until Dawn
Chris Hartley
Mike Monroe
Josh Washington
Matt Taylor
Resident Evil
Leon Kennedy
Karl Heisenburg
Luis Sera
Jack Krauser
Albert Wesker
Devil May Cry
Johnny Cage
Vergil Sparda
Dante Sparda
Nero sparda
Mortal Kombat
Syzoth (Reptile)
Tomas (Smoke)
Bi-han (Sub-Zero)
Kuai liang (Scorpian)
Liu Kang
Cyberpunk
Johnny Silverhand
Viktor Vektor (he needs more love and attention. I love him sm)
Team Fortress 2
Spy
Sniper
Medic
(Possibly the rest)
Star Wars
Captain Rex
(Probably will write for a bunch of clones, tbh)
Hondo Ohnaka
Darth Maul
Darth Vader
Boba Fett
Din Djarin
Hunter
Crosshair
Tech
Wrecker
Echo
The Wolf Among Us
Bigby Wolf
I think that's all I've really got for now. More of course can be added later to masterlists. I'm just giving you good ideas on who I would love to write for.
(I will probably reform this because damn it looks jumbled, but hey, I'm inexperienced with actually posting on Tumblr.)

A taste of authentic Indian cuisine at Annapoorna, Quezon City
For a long time, I thought that Indian food is not for me. Having grown up with an aversion to spicy viands, as well as a strong bias towards my mom’s Pinoy home cooking combined with Western fare courtesy of movies and TV shows, South Asian cuisine to me was as exotic and almost alien as food can get. Thankfully, I later developed a more adventurous palate, thanks largely to my husband who,…

I don't know if you've answered this question before, but do you have favorite Phantom/Christine pairings?
I have answered it before, but not too recently, so maybe it's time to make a big ole updated masterpost of all my favorites as of now!
Keep in mind that if a name isn't on here, it doesn't mean they're not a favorite or whatever, it might just mean I never saw them with a Phantom or Christine I particularly liked (e.g. Gina Beck is an all-time favorite but she's not on here because I never really saw her opposite a Phantom I also really enjoyed) or I preferred a slightly different pairing (e.g. I really liked Franc D'Ambrosio with Lisa Vroman but I slightly preferred the latter with Brad Little). And there may be one or two where I could not decide at all (e.g. do I prefer Kelly Mathieson with David Thaxton or Josh Piterman? I can't tell!). Anyway, here they are:
Michael Crawford/Sarah Brightman - The OG cast. It can't be helped, they both had such unique takes on the role and it makes them one of the most memorable pairings for me.
Dave Willetts/Jan Hartley Morris - His rougher take on the mold that Crawford left vs. Jan Hartley Morris's old-school, classical Christine is a winner.
Mikael Samuelson/Elisabeth Berg - I love Samuelson's slightly harsher vocals compared to Berg's operatic tones.
Alexander Goebel/Luzia Nistler - Goebel is eerie, ghostly, and unhinged at the end; Nistler has a lovely classical voice and a scared, slightly naive take on her Christine. It fits well.
Davis Gaines/Tracy Shayne - Gaines is commanding, sensual, elegant; Shayne is innocent but with a touch of maturity that brings a certain uniqueness to the role.
Saulo Vasconcelos/Irasema Terrazas - Hands! I think both were allowed a lot of freedom in the role and it's great.
Hans Peter Janssens/Ineke van Klinken - Janssens is both very nuts and very sad while van Klinken is a reserved yet steely-willed Christine who is more than a match for him.
Ian Jon Bourg/Alison Kelly - Bourg is good with so many Christines, but I loved Alison Kelly's feistiness.
Michael Nicholson/Olivia Safe - Just a fascinating pairing, and they were both understudies!
Yoon Young Seok/Hye Kyoung Lee - It didn't matter that both were speaking Korean, they were so emotional that I felt like I understood every aspect of their performance.
Brad Little/Lisa Vroman - Kind of mentioned above, but I love how well these two act together.
Hugh Panaro/Julie Hanson - Hugh Panaro is a sarcastic jokester of a man and it makes you really feel for Julie Hanson's child-like Christine at the end of the show.
Gary Mauer/Elizabeth Southard - A real-life married E/C couple brings all the chemistry!
Earl Carpenter/Rachel Barrell - Barrell is also really good with JOJ, and more spirited around him, but I love Earl Carpenter more.
John Cudia/Jennifer Hope Wills - Oh the sparks these two brought to the role! Cudia was scary and dominating but JHW was absolutely able to hold her own against him.
Simon Pryce/Julie Goodwin - The voices of these two!
Marcus Lovett/Anna O'Byrne - Leroux-accuracy heaven.
Jeremy Stolle/Samantha Hill - Again, I've seen these two give fantastic performances with multiple performers, but I really do love what they bring to the show together.
Tomas Ambt Kofod/Sibylle Glosted - Very detailed, nuanced performances in a production that was full of it.
Jonathan Roxmouth/Meghan Picerno - There was fire between these two! Roxmouth was intent on bending Christine to his will but Picerno was so fiercely independent that you knew he could never succeed.
Jeon Dong Seok/Son Ji-soo - JDS is a swoon-worthy Phantom while SJS brought lovely expressions to the role.
And I'm sure there are many others...

Favorite trios/duets?
This is a fun question that got buried in my inbox! I'm so sorry! I'm assuming this is in reference to "Wandering Child"? I've seen and forgotten so, so many versions of the scene and I don't want to go through them all, so here are the ones I remember! I'm probably forgetting some great actors and I'M SORRY.
Trios
Michael Crawford, Sarah Brightman & Steve Barton. Just...the best. One of my favorite parts of the OLC recording.
Ted Keegan, Emilie Kouatchou & John Riddle. I just have so many FEELINGS about them. Easily one of the best trios I've seen.
John Owen-Jones, Celia Graham & Robert Finlayson. Their voices together are just HNNNNG, and Finlayson brings it despite being alongside two vocal powerhouses.
Tomas Ambt Kofod, Sibylle Glosted & Christian Lund. No surprises here—one of the best trios, period.
Josh Piterman, Kelly Mathieson & Alistair So. aaaa they all sound SO GOOD here! Also Kelly is my fave so I'm biased.
Duets
Saulo Vasconcelos & Irasema Terrazas. They have such beautiful, mature voices that complement each other (whereas Raoul's...doesn't quite fit).
Hugh Panaro & Julie Hanson. I think this is more the case with the 2003 bootleg than the 2005 one, but they have a special sort of chemistry.
Franc D'Ambrosio & Lisa Vroman. Just absolute stars, both of them.
Peter Jöback & Elizabeth Welch. Usually I notice the absence of Raoul's vocals in "Wandering Child," but these two made me forget.
Gary Mauer & Elizabeth Southard. They're married, and you can feel it.
Andrey Schkoldychenko & Elena Bahtiyarova. hnnng pretty

It's that time of year! 🎃
21+. She/Her. EST. Looking for some horror fandom roleplays.
Please be 21+!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I write on Discord but like to stay on Tumblr for plotting so my Discord doesn't get too cluttered. I write in third person, past tense. Semi-lit/lit. I care more about quality than quantity so I don't mind how much you write, as long as I have something to work with. I work full-time Monday through Friday so replies won't happen every day. I try my hardest to get replies out within 2-3 days. Because of the nature of these fandoms, I'm looking for some darker plots so NSFW will be involved. I'm fine with that NSFW including smut. It is a preference but not a requirement.
I'm open to canon x canon pairings (MxM, FxF, or MxF) or canon x OC (MxM or FxF only). I prefer canon or canon divergent plots. I'll only say no to AUs that are way out there--i.e., bear hardly any resemblance to the canon universe for the fandoms.
I will be listing the fandoms I'm looking for and my biggest muse(s). I'm open to discussing ships. Anyone in bold is a muse I'm particularly dying to write as at the moment.
American Horror Story: Hotel - John Lowe, Will Drake
American Psycho - Patrick Bateman
Behind the Mask - Leslie Vernon
Evil Dead Franchise - Ash Williams
The Exorcist (TV Show) - Marcus Keane, Tomas Ortega
Halloween Franchise - Allyson Nelson, Michael Myers, Vicky
NBC Hannibal - Brian Zeller, Frederick Chilton, Will Graham
Hostel - Josh Brooks, Paxton Rodriguez
Killer Klowns from Outer Space - Dave Hanson, Debbie Stone,
Mike Tobacco
The Lost Boys - David
Saw Franchise - Mark Hoffman, William Schenk
Scream Franchise - Billy Loomis, Dewey Riley, Jill Roberts, Mickey Altieri, Richie Kirsch
The Stand (mainly the book and TV mini series) - Randall Flagg
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre Franchise - Tex Sawyer
The Walking Dead - Beth Greene, Gareth, Merle Dixon, Paul Rovia, Shane Walsh
If interested in working something out, please message me (preferred) or like this post and I'll message you.

Sobrenatural - Além do que conhecemos - Dalton x Oc
Tumblr media
.
.
.
Sinopse:
.
Dalton Lambert, filho de Josh Lambert, dois cujo traumas de um passado aterrorizante foram esquecidos. Não tiveram o desprazer de terem suas vidas afetadas pelos traumas desenvolvidos durante o conturbado tempo que concordaram em colocar no esquecimento. Porém, se manteria em segredo até o último dia de seus suspiros? Ou voltaria para os assombrar mais uma vez na esperança de já ter decorado suas escolhas mortais? Sim. O mal maligno nunca descansa na desistência. Apenas toma um tempo para se recompor.
Perdido no além, Dalton se encontra com um espírito diferente. Algo que nunca viu e nem ouviu falar. Sua curiosidade nunca esteve tão aguçada e rebelde como estará neste momento. Recebeu sua tão aclamada ajuda, agora, estava endividado com o tal espírito que parecia querer o conhecer melhor.
Era errado querer ficar no mesmo lugar que o espírito? Morrer não parecia tão ruim pensando desse jeito... Será se era muitos sentimentos para a cabeça de um jovem de 18 anos?
"Existe o Mal Maligno, e apenas o Mal. Muitos os confundem em um mesmo meio. Me sinto ofendida por me chamarem de burra desse jeito."

Cumpleaños 🎂
Tumblr media
Elizabeth Olsen cumple 35 años
Pese a la gran actriz que es Elizabeth Olsen, quitarse la etiqueta de superheroína no le está resultando tarea fácil. La actriz, nacida en el barrio de Sherman Oaks, Los Angeles, en 1989, se ha convertido en una de las intérpretes más codiciadas de Hollywood, pero llegar hasta aquí no ha sido precisamente un camino de rosas.
Tumblr media
Olsen, que celebra su 35 cumpleaños durante el día de hoy, empezó su carrera en la actuación con tan solo 4 años. Lo hizo a la sombra de sus hermanas gemelas mayores, Mary-Kate y Ashley Olsen, que tuvieron una fama prematura y previa a la de su hermana menor. Fue durante la década de los 90, cuando con películas para televisión como "Aquel oeste tan divertido" (1994), las tres Olsen compartieron pantalla.
Tumblr media
Pese a verse relegada por sus hermanas, Elizabeth Olsen lo siguió intentando, pese a que en 2004 casi deja su sueño de triunfar en el mundo de la actuación. Su casi retiro se debió a la atención mediática que generó el desorden alimenticio de sus hermanas gemelas, que por poco provoca el fin de la que acabó siendo una carrera más que exitosa.
Finalmente, y tras estudiar en la Escuela de artes de la Universidad de Nueva York, Elizabeth Olsen tuvo la oportunidad de demostrar al mundo su talento con se debut cinematográfico; "Martha Marcy May Marlene".
Tumblr media
Estrenada en 2011 bajo la dirección de Sean Durkin (El clan de hierro, Inseparables), esta cinta supuso el primer gran papel de la carrera de Olsen, que consiguió multitud de elogios y nominaciones de la crítica por su trabajo como Martha.
Con pasos por el Festival de Cannes y Sundance, "Martha Marcy May Marlene" fue el giro decisivo de la carrera de Olsen, que, a partir de este momento no dejaría de recibir más y más roles. Ejemplos de ellos fueron sus siguientes trabajos en películas como "Red Lights", junto a Robert De Niro y Cillian Murphy, o "Oldboy", remake de la cinta surcoreana de 2003, con Josh Brolin a la cabeza y Spike Lee dirigiendo.
Pero todo cambió en la vida de Olsen, cuando, en 2014 recibió la llamada de Marvel. El por entonces primerizo (en comparación al de ahora) Universo cinematográfico de Marvel (UCM) eligió a la actriz californiana como a su Wanda Maximoff. O lo que es lo mismo: la mutante Bruja Escarlata.
Tumblr media
Su primera aparición como el personaje, uno de los más poderosos de la historia de los cómics, tuvo lugar en la segunda entrega de la saga del Capitán América, "El Soldado de Invierno", en una pequeña escena post-créditos que transformó la carrera de Olsen. A partir de ahí todo fue para arriba.
Tras esa primera toma de contacto, la actriz tuvo su gran momento en "Vengadores: La era de Ultrón" (2015), donde fue una de las grandes protagonistas. Le seguirían sus papeles en "Capitán América: Civil War", "Vengadores: Infinity War" y "Vengadores: Endgame".
Tumblr media
Pero dentro de la propia Marvel también tuvo un gran giro. Fue con su primer proyecto como protagonista principal, la miniserie "WandaVision" (2021). En esta seguimos la vida idílica de Wanda y su pareja, el androide sintético llamado Visión.
Tumblr media
El papel en WandaVision le valió a Elizabeth Olsen sus primeras (y merecidas) nominaciones a los Emmy y Globos de Oro, por una interpretación única dentro del universo Marvel. Por si fuera poco, la historia de la serie se siguió en los cines con la secuela del Doctor Extraño, titulada "Doctor Strange en el multiverso de la locura" (2022), en la que Olsen co-protagonizó la cinta junto a Benedict Cumberbatch.
Tumblr media
El mismo año que consiguió su papel como Wanda, Olsen protagonizó la primera entrega de otro universo cinematográfico que sigue en pie con "Godzilla" (2014). La cinta de Gareth Edwards (Star Wars: Rogue One, The Creator) supuso el inicio del 'Monsterverse', donde habitan criaturas como King Kong. Olsen también protagonizó en 2017 "Wind River", de Taylor Sheridan (Yellowstone), un notable thriller en el que se acompañó de Jeremy Renner, Ojo de halcón en Marvel
Tumblr media
Por último, Olsen tampoco se queda atrás en televisión. Y es que tras protagonizar la aclamada "Sorry for Your Loss" (2018), llegó su gran papel televisivo, con permiso de WandaVision, con "Love & Death" (HBO Max). En esta miniserie, basada en hechos reales, la actriz interpreta a Candy, que asesinó a su mejor amiga Betty tras una aventura extramatrimonial.
Tumblr media
La actuación de Olsen, que le valió a la actriz su segunda nominación a los Globos de Oro, fue una demostración del por qué es una de las mejores intérpretes del momento. Solo le hacen falta más papeles así para demostrarlo.

Music Safari NYC, continued . . .
[Covers the week of January 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 & 7.]
On January 1, Neal and I got the best seats in the house for The Anderson Brothers' presentation of a few of Irving Berlin's greatest hits.
Tumblr media
That's Molly Ryan, Will Anderson and Peter Anderson. (Or maybe it's Molly, Peter and Will.) It wasn't too late to sing "White Christmas."
On Tuesday (Jan 2), it was Mona's.
Tumblr media
The house band was Jared Engel, Jon Thomas, Josh Dunn (back of head), Aurora, and Tomas Majcherski (not shown above, see below).
Tumblr media
A bunch of great musicians showed up for the second set.
Tumblr media
That's Jared Engel in the foreground, with Matt Munisteri, Aidan Grant (bartender extraordinaire), David Ostwald (if you squint), unknown and unknown looking on.
Tumblr media
Rafael Halvorson-Castillo and Neal Siegal were in for the night.
Jan 3 was a night off . . .
On Thursday, January 4, Paula and I had great seats at Dizzy's for the Mathis Picard Sound Orchestra.
Tumblr media
It was big, big sound - definitely one of the major highlights of this music safari.
Tumblr media
Mathis was joyful. He's been working hard on this, and it showed.
Tumblr media
At his last Dizzy's gig, Mathis got married in the middle of the set, right on stage!
After Mathis, I booked it down to the Village Vanguard to hear the Chris Potter trio.
Tumblr media
He's a great player, but I must confess that the jazz he played was too abstract for my taste.
On Friday, January 5, Neal and I headed over to Barbés to catch VickiKristinaBarcelona.
Tumblr media
VKB is a project by Mamie Minch, Rachelle Garniez and Amanda Homi that reimagines the songs of Tom Waits. I don't know as much as I should about Tom Waits, given how important he seems to be to musicians I admire, but I'm guessing the emphasis is on, "reimagine."
Tumblr media
In a set full of surprises, the most surprising performance of the evening involved Rachelle ringing tuned ceramic hand bells - precisely and skillfully - to play a melody.
Tumblr media
On Saturday, January 6, it was raining and the 1-2-3 subway was not running due to a derailment, so I opted to stay closer to home.
Tumblr media
Neal and I caught yet another set of "Miss Maybell and the Jazz Age Artistes," at the Motto Hotel (by Hilton) on 24th street. That's Charlie Judkins on the keys, Brian Nalepka on bass and Miss Maybell strummin on the old banjo.
Tumblr media
Margaret Batiuchok was dancing up a storm to Miss Maybell. She got this young dancer going . . . very charming!
Tumblr media
On Sunday, January 7, the usual crowd was at The Ear - and the more regular players in the Ear-Regulars. Maestro Kellso on trumpet, the beard of reeds-player Scott Robinson, Matt Munisteri on guitar extrordinaire, and Pat O'Leary on bass (see below).
