#scream street books

[teddy-bearsoup]

Scream street hyperfixation came back full force when I found out that the illustrations of the books changes with the language.. Like- LOOK AT THE JAPANESE VERSION!:

And then you got the French version:

So much emotion and detail! They low-key put the English illustrations to shame /hj

(I'm currently trying to think of how the fuck I can het my hands on these, because WOW 😭)

Things To Never Say To Someone Who Just Came Out: Scream Street Editions

[daeneryseastar]

hot take maybe but the only reason most show runners/producers/writers/etc. age up the (female) characters from book to show adaptation is to overtly sexualize them and not face mass amounts of scrutiny for it.

put 13 year old daenerys next to 30 year old drogo and the audience understands that daenerys is a victim to him and not an equal. put 22 year old emilia clarke as daenerys next to 32 year old jason mamoa as drogo and they’re seen as a budding romance with a tragic ending (by the general audience) due to their on screen chemistry.

flash forward to today, and now we’re dealing with 21 year old milly alcock playing rhaenyra from 14-19 and how her relationship with (28 year old fabien) a mid twenties criston is seen as -morally acceptable- and not a result of a degenerate pedophile taking advantage of and grooming his charge. “ser criston protects the princess from her enemies, but who protects the princess from ser criston?” rhaenyra was 14 when rumors started speculating that she slept with an almost 30 year old criston. a criston who had know her since she was 8 and had been her sworn shield since she was 9. obviously seeing a teenager in the early stages of puberty next to a fully grown man would emphasize rhaenyra being THE victim, as opposed to the show having an 18-19 year old explore her sexuality and seek out ‘consensual’ sex with her peer bodyguard. the discourse has even reached the point where certain stans try to paint the much younger woman as the perpetrator and aggressor of this event, who forced the unassuming man into having sex with her.

i’ll even take this a step farther, and bring up how if they had shown a 19 year old alicent abusing a 10 year old rhaenyra it would be identified and mutually agreed upon as a reprehensible act on alicent’s part. instead they’re of similar age, so people can attempt to paint the picture as two women of equal standing hating each other, and not a much older woman bullying a motherless child. once again however, some stans even go so far as to try and paint alicent as a victim of rhaenyra, and not the other way around. further cementing this is how both versions of alicent are younger than both versions of rhaenyra, AND how criston is still played by an actor who is younger than older!rhaenyra despite his character being the same age as daemon in canon.

they know exactly what they’re doing too, considering they aged alicent down to give her that innate compassion one typically feels when seeing children being abused on tv (something that can no longer be applied to rhaenyra). despite that never being her story; *she* was the abuser, and rhaenyra was her victim. criston’s victim. it’s a nasty cop out, and i wish more people would call out how sickening it is to flip the switch and attempt to make abusive individuals more sympathetic than the *actual* victims of said abusers.

Basically me trying to find all the shows/movie/games I watched or played as a child. (It's a lot more than this).

Already getting major flashbacks 😭

congratulations to Mme. Pascale Leclerc, who has surely just experienced both the funniest and most unhinged weekend a mother could ever have. Dear fucking christ, I hope your middlest son brought you a bottle of champagne for yourself, ma'am.

Affectiontly Alex Claremont-Diaz is the stupidest person on the planet. The man has a single brain cell and that is solely focused on Henry while equally denying that he’s only brain cell is focused on Henry.

I got bored so I ranked all of the horror movies I've watched so far! (I'm definitely forgetting a couple but meh)

Missing from the list:

-Dragonfly (2002), would've been C tier

-The Sixth Sense, would've been B tier

-Little Shop of Horrors, Would've been A tier

Update! Watched Halloween (1978) a day after making this and it would've been B tier

Check tags for some commentary!

despite my criticism and the fact i hated that subplot ❤️ i love that hel reaches out to ali.cent while they're running. in line with what i said here about the coronation and how when faced with danger she reached for aem.ond, and later to cris.ton and how she feels safer with them (and obviously also ali.cent) and wants contact with the people she feels protected by despite how she sometimes reacts to touch

physical closeness (with people she trusts) is a source of comfort when she needs to feel safe, and will help her calm down. it's the opposite when she's irritable and she'll slap anyone's hand away, don't try to comfort her with touch then.

BBC series Resus: "Vampire's are so cool! Why am I the only one not a vampire in my whole family? It's not fair!"

Book Resus: "I have to pretend to be a vampire because I'll get taken away from my parents if they find out I'm human."

Luke in the books: I won't sleep or eat or get any rest until I find a way out of here for my parents... it's my fault that they're here... because I'm a monster...

Luke in the TV show: ok Cleo now hit the second tower

i've been trying to schedule a time to take my driver's test for literal months because i shit you not there have been literally zero appointments at any of the five (5) dmvs within 20m of me that offer the driving test. so i scheduled one at a place that's a literal hour drive bc i was like. well at least i have it on the books and if i have to drive an hour out there to do it so be it! but i've been regularly checking the website at odd times (as suggested by multiple people) for any cancellations.

and lo and behold! i just checked it (literally 2m ago) and there was an 8a open slot at a place 10m from where i live. i had to think about it for maybe about 30s or so (checking the map to make sure it actually is close to me, considering if anyone i know with a car would be available to take me over there to take the test at 8 fucking am in the morning) and by the time i convinced myself i might as well just do it the fucking appointment had already been snatched by someone else.

i get that dmvs are probably just as understaffed as anywhere else. but this is fucking untenable to me. like. how are you so understaffed that i have not been able to schedule this appointment for literal months (i have been regularly checking! since last fucking october!) at any of the places that are within a normal distance to where i live? why on earth are dmvs in fucking st. cloud somehow more available despite the fact that they only have one vs the like five within the twin cities limits? why are you not opening more slots/hiring more driving instructors to ensure that there is plenty of availability for this apparently so essential service that you are constantly booked up for it??? most importantly why is there not!!! a fucking dmv!!! that offers a driving test!!! actually in one of the twin cities? why are they only in the suburbs? i am chewing off my own arm, this whole process is incredibly frustrating and i can't believe i caught a lucky break for the first time in five months and lost it because i hesitated for less than one minute.

I think we need more pop up books. Very underrated! Horror movie moments that would make great, elaborate pop up features:

Jason jumping out of the lake at the end of F13.

Freddy's claw creeping up between Nancy's knees in the bathtub scene.

Michael sitting up after you thought he was killed.

Karen holding Chucky up and him going from Doll-Faced to Rage-Faced.

Bubba's mad chainsaw dance.

Chop Top, Drayton and Bubba all clumped together having that 'sex... or the saw' talk.

Tiffany's bubble bath scene!!

Candyman hovering above Helen.

Sheriff Hoyt using the hose (At the audience)

Pleasant Valley welcoming visitors under the Guts and Glory Jubilee banner.

Pinhead holding out his hand to you to show you such sights~

The red balloon hovering out of Pennywise's gutter.

Baby, Otis and Spaulding driving away all beat-up and bloody.

Norman appearing in the doorway with a knife in grandma clothes!!

Freddy and Jason staring eachother down in that burning building.

John Kramer standing up at the end of Saw.

Oh- and extra interactive features:

You can pull out Freddy's arms so they 'grow' in the scene where he's chasing Tina.

You can pull Bubba's door open and closed.

You can flip the mask off of Billy and Stu in the reveal scene.

You can tip the pigs blood bucket over Carrie's head (But also right it again and then close the book so nothing bad happens!! XDD)

Freddy might have a page where you can mix-and-match different costumes of his. Like you can give him his normal head, Super Freddy's top half and then Worm Freddy's bottom half. If you get what I mean?? Like those flip books.

Patricks business card would be detachable, of course (You'd take it outta his inside suit jacket pocket).

Oh!! A page full of newspapers you can flip open to articles like 'Chicago Mother Claims Childs Doll is Possessed', 'Krueger Released Free of Charges', 'Camp Crystal Lake Closed Down After String of Murders', etc.

You know those things where you turn a wheel inside a page and it changes part of the scenery? That, but you can change Jason's weapon (Machete, crossbow, bare hand, axe, pitch fork, saw, pickaxe, etc).

And- separate interactive Horror book idea: Leslie Vernon's book of Horror Trivia (With all due respect to Mr Ghostface), by Leslie Mancuso

Two sides of the same coin - angry, wronged and aching for change - tossed up in some sort of gamble against the bloodiest odds.
