☕️ ohhh goin to send smth i haven’t actually heard u talk a lot about before— the horror genre?
or if u wanna skip, i im putting my hand on ur shoulder… hii… multiverse? 🥺
ooohhh fun topic... i can't say i have much for the horror genre as a topic because well. its an entire genre, with entire subgenres. as well, im an immensely paranoid person and cant interact with it most of the time, so the closest thing ive got is the knowledge of a handful of pokepastas and a secondhand fixation on th magnusarchives.
it definitely has my respect though! it takes a great amount of skill to be able to utilize it well, and when it hits, it hits HARD. very few things can convey a message or emotion as well as certain things in horror. love it when it gets abstract and or psychological-- oh to find comfort in the things you cant explain, to feel Seen in that paranoia you thought was a burden for you alone. to communicate exactly what it is to the best of your ability and convey it across the threshold of human minds despite its abstraction. does that make sense? but i digress. more paragraphs to write.
multiverse is one of the best tools in narrative writing i think i have ever seen. at the very least, it's my favorite. again, difficult to express a concise opinion on because of how Wide and Vague it is, but it's so important to me as someone who joined this damn hellsite because of multiverse aus. if you know you know. something something skeletons. anyway.
it's something about taking familiarity and strangeness and just... mashing them together. about being lost in a world you almost recognize. its about endless possibility and the inescapability of fate-- or even the lack thereof. the overrunning statement of just... oh, isn't it so grand that we're alive? there's so many ways so many things could have collided, and yet here we are. aren't we so lucky to have what we do? what else do you think is out there? it's a celebration of what we have, a celebration of that which we make up. holding hands and pointing at the stars, drawing pictures between the dots. what do you think, what do you think? isn't it grand?
i think, at its core, its human nature at its barest form. to make a story, ask "what if it was different?" make it happier. make it sadder. what if we were different-- what if this person was just like me? here's this character i made to see our own happiness in-- what if they were like me? what if they were like you? let's put them next to each other. they can be friends. the intrinsic inseparability of multiverse and fiction, of the spontaneous human nature. what if, what if. let's make it so.
