#just brutal to watch though

[ssaalexblake]

feel like knowing the difference between a show/movie that has been made for adult consumption but has been totally defanged and sanitised by removing all blood and colourful language to keep the rating down so it can have a wider and younger audience, and a piece of media that was Always made to be consumed by children/young adults and is therefore deliberately made to predominantly work for those age groups, is an important skill for media analysis that many in fandom lack.

I have decided to completely disregard the events depicted in Secret Invasion.

In much the same way that Marvel/Feige have disregarded the very real effects which Stephen Strange's grueling, excruciating painful emotionally & physically, 1,500+ year search for the path to victory over Thanos, have had upon him.

Hi, im a beginner horror enjoyer and im really disturbed by a lot of gore but i wanna understand the Texas Chainsaw Massacre movies bc ive heard theyre hugely influential on the genre (rightly so too)

I figured with all this id ask the foremost texas chainsaw scholar i am aware of

Could you tell me the basics, if its gross (im really bad at tolerating gross out horror and gore played realistic), and any fun tidbits?

If not i thank you for reading and hope you have a good day ^-^

The Texas Chain Saw Massacre was hugely influential on the genre and set the standard for low budget horror and inspired future filmmakers to rely more on psychological terror over gore & violence! It was also seemingly the birth of a lot of horror tropes, like big, masked killers and using power tools for weapons.

Texas Chainsaw's story is inspired by serial killers like Ed Gein and Elmer Wayne Henley. The movie’s director, Tobe Hooper, was inspired by the graphic coverage of violence by San Antonio news outlets and based elements of the plot on murderer Ed Gein, who was a notorious serial killer who made furniture out of human body parts and created a mask made of human skin. The movie’s underlying themes are mostly the horrors of isolation, and the dangers of unchecked capitalism. The movie is also a metaphor for the Nixon-era mayhem and the government’s deceit toward the public during the 1970s. Hooper intentionally misled audiences by claiming that the movie was based on a true story to attract a wider audience.

I honestly don't know how to give you the basics aside from a plot synopsis because I would, hand to God, be sitting here for about 12 hours minimum going into every weird little detail, like the intricacies of bubba's mental issues and being forced to take on a female role for his abusive older brothers, or all the absolutely insane shit that happened during filming. And that'd just be me talking about the FIRST film.

But if you want to ask me more questions or see more Texas chainsaw related stuff you can ask/look over at my blog @chainsawhouse. I just hate to gum up my main blog with this particular interest.

Also, my fun tidbit is that they've recently confirmed that there is a new Texas Chainsaw Massacre in the works, under the title 'Texas Chainsaw Legacy'! Very fun imo.

Hey so Snap this is going to be so fucking weird, but honestly don’t care. So I was watching a clip of Drag Race Philippines and it was the make over episode and I think they were making over family members and this father was all about getting into drag. So, I just wanted to tell you never forget how much of a lovely loving kind and caring father you have, who loves you and protects you and makes you feel heard. That’s all.

i'd have to die before i forget how great my dad is thank you for the opportunity to brag about him again anon

🌅: Phantom Pains by poetoutofthebeast is really good. Shadowpeach are back together but that doeesnt mean both monkeys don't still have trauma and communication issues. Really good, both monkeys have a good amount of time focused on them specifically but I especially love how they wrote macaque abandonment and uselessness fears

If you like that story, Raining on Your Parade by the same author. Macaque is sick and wukong for a mysterious reason takes care of him it's because he still cares

oh hey, i read phantom pains! it's cute. i like the chosen angst for wukong and mac here (mac's huge abandonment issues and wukong's fear that all he does is hurt others). good read for the shadowpeach enjoyers that like angst and like closure

personal opinion time: i think mac was focused on more than wukong? now, beat me over the head because i am a wukong stan first human being second, but i just wish there was more dedicated to wukong actually getting to express his constipated emotions. he does, dont get me wrong, but im a sap that just likes to read about it. that's a personal preference thing. tldr i wish wukong crying was longer and had the same attention/comfort that mac had *gets shot by the mafia*

haven't read the other fic, but i'll try to read it tonight if i can :3

//Spoilers for 'Till the World Ends"

I had no idea I was so fond of Gus until I was literally watcing him die and I couldn't believe it. I wanted him to make it to the end with Art and Golf 😭 when Golf was hugging Art and looking at the picture of Gus and the rest of their family I was crushed.

But considering this was all Art's dream, I guess this no longer applies. Though I would still definately like a S2 of this show 🤲

I still want to know:

Was Art in Golf's bedroom when he woke up? (The final time)

How will Art react to Golf now, after he had this dream about them being together?

Will Art now try to persue Golf?

Will Gus ever get out of Jail?

Will we see Long and Joke again if there was a S2?

I'm merely a casual fan of the CFL, but the 2024 Hamilton Tiger-Cats may be as shitty a football team as I've ever seen to win as many as 2 of their first 7 games, regardless of league. There's pathetic, and then there's getting destroyed 32-3 by halftime by a franchise that can't win a close game to save the lives of their wives or kids. One look at the fans is all you need to tell you about the state of the only CFL franchise to not have a title not just since 2010, but even in the current millennium at all.
