thank you for the answers, they made my day a lot better<3 i was mostly curious if people know me from fanfic or if they just search silent hill and find my blog! i used to post a lot more in the main tags but haven't in a while (mainly to avoid conflict) so i'm always curious about how people find me lol

i genuinely have no idea why people follow me here like im glad they do but im kind of curious what inspires it

[geeneelee]

@transdankovsky tagged me for heads up seven up. rules: share the last 7 lines of your most recent wip, and then tag 7 people.

I'm in the middle of a very odd section of the fic but here you go lmao:

There are so many ways for pregnancies to go wrong - just about any sort of procedure presents a risk

Not well understood why in all cases? Serious lack of research here

Viktor is past first trimester, which means spontaneous miscarriage is less likely

The longer Viktor is pregnant, the worse is health will get, but baby needs to finish developing to not die

Is it possible for baby to finish developing w/out Viktor? Like eggs? Could I convince Viktor to agree to this???

I'm trying to imitate Jayce's note taking style that we see in that extra-canon journal on the website. He's having a very normal time in this chapter lmao

Tagging seven people? Uh... @sadhoc is the only one that I can think of off the top of my head. Whoops.

🧠👃 for friend?

🧠 : What is your OC’s most mentally attractive attribute?

her most mentally attractive attribute is her several diagnosable mental disorders. jokes aside shes incredibly perceptive (to a detrimental hyperperceptive degree) which lends her to being able to say the right thing at the right time (or a calculated out of pocket wrong thing at the right time). this perceptiveness makes her a pretty good tactician despite the fact that she much rather would follow orders than give them. it does mean that if she has your back in a fight you can rest assured that its well guarded

👃 : Does your OC smell good? Do they have a signature scent?

wow the nose emoji is weird. anyways. she does not necesarily smell Good. but she does not smell Bad either. having peasant swag means she didnt have the luxury of fun smelling soaps or anything like that but when she moved to hightown she was able to actually get some soaps. her "signature scent" is whatever perfume isabela is wearing because friend is always crawling on isabela like a weevil

sorry for the sadness of this one but the vibes are what they are:

I hate that I wander, in my tender moments (between the droning panic and the anesthetic haze), into the headspace of some tender, base thing. Yearning for the fundamentals long deprived - an hour to rest, and food, and drink, perhaps a conversation without heavy terminology squeezing its tender veins shut like the mass effect from a tumor.

Mark Hoffman 👁

character: hate them | don’t really care | like them | LOVE them | THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS

ship with: peter strahm and that’s about it tbh!!

important friends: daniel rigg, allison kerry, adam faulkner-stanheight (in apprentice family/more lighthearted aus)

general opinions: i have a weird like-hate thing going on with hoffman’s character. i DEFINITELY don’t feel the attraction towards him or find him to be a star character the way so many other people in the fandom seem to, but the crumbs of his characterization that the lore has to offer ARE interesting! i guess i mostly just wish he had been written better in the movies (not to mention played by an actor who isn’t a shithead). he’s interesting to analyze and, i admit, fun to write, but at the end of the day he is no man of mine, just a necessary element to the overall narrative.

Is the Pathologic fandom ever gonna get around to talking about how the guy who runs that blocklist and stalks people's bookmarks for Fiction Crimes had underage porn in his own AO3 bookmarks for like 3 years

I mean, I personally don't believe this means he's a pedophile and the entire fandom needs to be warned preemptively not to interact with him for their own safety, especially minors -- but that's absolutely what he would say if he caught someone else with this content. Just like this fic probably has some kind of valid justification or what the fuck ever excuse fancops use so they can keep jacking off to the same shit they abuse others for, but that kind of nuanced consideration has never been a courtesy he's extended to anyone else, so he won't be getting it from me.

Also, if you're feeling generous and think he genuinely doesn't believe his behaviour is wildly hypocritical, this fic suddenly vanished from his bookmarks earlier this year. Given that he still has another M-rated part of this series saved (also marked Underage!), I'm guessing he realized how bad this looks for him and set the Explicit-rated part to private. Too late of course, but a good try.

Anyway, I may have a good 75% of the fandom blocked, but I thought the ones who are left would appreciate the schadenfreude

21 & 25

Sorry for the wait!! I dismissed the notification for my inbox and forgot 🤡

21. name the top five WORST horror films that you've sat through

Ok, fair warning, I don't think I've sat through even 5 "bad" horror movies, so I'll just list the ones I didn't like, personally:

Door Lock (2018)

Pet Sematary, 2019 remake

It: Chapter Two

Crimson Peak

These are the ones I actually remember enough to tell you about the unpleasant viewing experiences I had.

First up: Door Lock, a Korean crime thriller that one could argue isn't technically horror but my god, it hits every single one of the hallmarks of dumb slasher movie character syndrome. Like by the third act me and my cousins were gobsmacked by the decisions the protag made and honestly she would've deserved to be a murder victim. She's just- argh, it's like if you grabbed the character who splits off from the gang and dies first in a horror movie and gave her plot armour just so she could outlast the serial killer and claim the final girl title, you know what I mean? It's a bad movie and it's not even fun to watch. Make sure you skip this one.

Pet Sematary - I actually watched this one in theatres and it's not that bad, but the ending absolutely ruined it for me. You get the sense that they just didn't know when to end it and the last act dragged on for way too long. It's very bloated with multiple plot twist / fake-out endings at the end. If they left the last 10-15 mins on the cutting room floor I think it would be a decent movie. The acting was good (especially the actor who played the dad - forgot his name - whose grief felt so tangible), so it just needs another round of editing.

It: Chapter Two is a mess of a film, tonally and structurally. The pacing was so Baaaaad. I'm sure it's not the worst horror movie to have come out that year but I'm including it simply because the first movie was almost flawless, and the sequel was decidedly not.

Crimson Peak - watched it with my flatmates at the time and we all left the theatre like "what the fuck...?" It probably suffered from its marketing, cause we went in expecting a regular haunted house horror film and ended up with incest on our hands. The sex scene between Loki and Alice-in-Wonderland also felt very awkward and overly long, and neither me nor my flatmates appreciated it (probably because it was filmed for the straight female gaze and none of us fit the bill). And sure, those - the lust and the sins - are all narrative elements characteristic of the literary definition of the gothic genre, but me and the lads certainly did not expect it, and probably wouldn't have gone to see it if we had known that that was what the film was about. This was just my personal experience though, and doesn't diminish the artistic merits of the film. (For example, it's beautifully shot, and it's objectively a well-paced film). I think if I was given a better synopsis, and hadn't seen it in theatres with my guy friends, it might be a completely different viewing experience.

(There's lots more mediocre or shitty horror / thriller movies out there, but I haven't paid money to see those in theatres and usually just changed the channel if I get bored/annoyed halfway through the second act, so those don't count.)

25. do you think gore lessens the quality of a horror film?

Already answered here.

Thanks for sending these in!

gonna have to end up adding this to my pinned and reblogging it obnoxiously, but:

my partner has been out of a job due to physical disability since march. they have applied to over 300 jobs and have only gotten a couple of interviews.

our car is in a bad way. our former roommate backed into it and never paid us back and now it struggles to drive when the a/c is on. we've been experiencing heat waves this summer, and since their only source of income at the moment is doordash, driving without the a/c really isn't an option.

we're also about to lose the car. we're in debt almost $2k. we'd like to get that paid off so we can turn the car in and get something with working a/c that can also handle the winters here in the midwest.

unfortunately, i do not make enough money to really contribute to this. i have to pay most of the bills, and i've only been able to work part time. i just got paid, but still i have under $300 in my bank account. we still have to get groceries and meds. and since bcbs screwed me over, i'm paying for my meds out of pocket. and i take a lot of medications.

i don't know what to do anymore. my partner doesn't have enough for their half of rent and it's due on the first. even if i didn't buy meds or groceries i wouldn't be able to pay the rest of rent on my own.

if you can help at all:

ca/vnmo: transdankovsky (me)

pypl: stuartdoodles @ yahoo (my partner)

if you can't help, please reblog.

thank you.

The Silence by Bastille

Wrap me around your fingers, break this silence open wide

Before it seeps into my ears and fills me up from the inside

Heartlines by Florence + The Machine

And this fantasy, this fallacy, this tumbling stone

Echos of a city that’s long overgrown

Your heart is the only place that I call home

Sophie by The Altogether

And if no one looks up

They’ll never see my smiling face and your warm embrace

When you’re standing next to me

Movement by Hozier

When you move I can recall somethin’ that’s gone from me

When you move, honey, I’m put in awe of somethin’ so flawed and free

God’s Plan by CHVRCHES

You confide in me, ashamed and maligned

Shaped and defined by God’s plan

🎀🧿💌

Thank you for the ask! <3

🎀give yourself a compliment about your own writing!

I'm pretty good at getting a vibe across vividly - setting the atmosphere so to say, be it with dialogue or surroundings description or my choice of metaphors/phrases.

🧿what steps do you take to not take things personally if a fic doesn't do well, or if your writing/posting/sharing experience isn't going how you'd like it to?

The thing here is that I've had like. One fic in all my writing experience do really well. The rest are, well - they get some views, they get some kudos, maybe even a comment. But I get my satisfaction mostly by showing fics to my friends who help hype me up - be it when i show them snippets or just talk about it.

There's always going to be this little voice in my head when I post something publically going "this is gonna be it - your breakthrough" and then... it never is! So I go back and say "at least i had fun writing this" or "at least my friends like it" (and note here it can be like. one or two friends, doesn't have to be a lot).

you can't control the reader, and the current trend in culture is less and less interaction with the writer. so i try to take solace that the journey made the destination worth it, even if that can have a bad aftertaste sometimes.

💌share something with us about an up-and-coming work (WIP) that has you excited!

well!! today i talked with a friend a lot about a pathologic roadside picnic/stalker au and it has me giggling foolishly! the main idea is that stalkers artemy and rubin help daniil the scientist go into the zone and look for a specific artefact... it's very much in the worldbuilding stage so far, and im only daydreaming (tho i have written a drabble) but maybe ill write something serious again if thesis work doesn't get me too down. but daydreaming about it is so exciting and fun heehee... i has me grinning like a fool!

other than that im still working on my poetry book! i think i might actually publish it and that has me very excited indeed.... >:3
