80s Terry vs LA Nightstalker Richard Ramirez!

I can imagine that Terry would have all the best security systems for the time and realistically no ones getting in… but, for fun’s sake, what would Terry do if Ramirez broke in and tried to burgle the house, even try to r@pe/kill beloved in their bed?! I need to see Terry being violently protective of beloved please 🙏🙃

It's interesting when you think about the fact that historically, Richard Ramirez was taken under the wing of his older cousin who was a Green Beret in Vietnam who used to show him wartime images of torture and gore involving Vietnamese women caught on photography he took and who (possibly) served as an early bad influence on him and then years later on a dark night out in LA, Ramirez just coincidentally, seeing how Karma can be really funny like that, breaks into the mansion of another Green Beret from Vietnam who's more than willing to kill to protect what's his and ---- whoops. We can imagine the rest.😬

I don't know much about him, but judging by the book I'm reading right now, Ramirez is one of the ridiculous (and cruelest in his ridiculousness) serial killers that there ever was.

Idk, man, but the drugs, the way he killed, the motivation for that. Satan? Lucifer? And all for drugs and rape? Eugh.

Something I just now realized-- but don’t talk about a lot anymore after I casually mentioned it to a new friend and they recoiled-- is that one of my special interests is serial killers. it’s mostly due to my mom’s unique way of abusing me as a child (forcing me to watch/read/engage with horrifyingly graphic depictions of children being abused and murdered as a way to keep me from “getting into trouble,” i.e., go where she did not have control over me). *looks up as a thirty year old memory hits me in the face with the wet slap of a sopping paper towel* Anyway I wanted to make a poll about which USian serial killer people like most but then I realized that Tumblr would eat its own ass over it.

What kind of irked me about true crime podcasts that talked about Richard Ramirez and the wikipedia page is how they all just gloss over the fact that his cousin Miguel took part in WAR CRIMES by killing and raping Vietnamese women while in Vietnam as a soldier in the us army, and how that was a huge factor in shaping Richard Ramirez to be the inhuman scumbag that he was. Instead they all just pretend that Richard Ramirez became a piece of inhuman shit out of nowhere. Guys. There is a fucking elephant in the room. Guys.

Using my blog as a dream journal for a second so I don't forget this craziness my subconscious cooked up last night/this morning. TW for brief mentions of trauma and a creepy killer/rapist guy.

In the dream, I was friends with boygenius (this comes back into play later). I must have been younger in the dream than my actual age because I still lived with my parents. For whatever reason, they were letting this notorious criminal stay with us. He was like a Ted Bundy/Richard Ramirez hybrid. A really bad dude and the whole world knew it, but my parents let him live there.

I was expected to be nice and accommodating toward this man even though he had a bizarre obsession with me. He simultaneously romanticized and infantalized me. He really emphasized the age gap. He regarded me as a little girl and a wife at the same time. It was so weird but I didn't protest because....uh, he was terrifying and a notorious killer. Thankfully we never did anything physically.

So, Dangerous Killer Guy really wanted to take this Bible I had that was signed by Taylor Swift for whatever reason? I was friends with boygenius in the dream, so I guess it's not too far fetched that I might have met her through them/Phoebe, but a signed Bible? I don't know. Maybe that's my religious trauma/guilt manifesting.

Anyway, I was supposed to be going to see a show or something with boygenius, but I wanted my goddamn Taylor Swift Bible back from that fucking creep, so I stole it back while he was having a smoke in my parents' garage and ran outside to find boygenius in a car in front of the house waiting for me.

I could not get in that car fast enough! Lucy and Julien were in the back seat, Phoebe was driving, and I was shotgun. I was venting about the killer guy and how he had written a creepy ass love letter in my Taylor Swift Bible. Julien and Lucy were being really empathetic sweethearts about it all. Phoebe cared too, but I looked up and saw her giving me a look suggesting that she had things in mind that were more than just platonic, if you know what I mean. Maybe wanting to stake a claim to ward off creepy guy. And I do wonder why I got to sit shotgun if I was last in the car. Maybe I was a little more than just friends with Phoebe in the dream? I don't know. That's when I was awakened.

Props if you made it this far! I have no idea what the meaning of all that was. I have a history of extensive trauma and abuse in both childhood and adult relationships with a little religious trauma to spice things up. Maybe it was supposed to symbolize my trauma and having to deal with it myself with no support system? Maybe the dream was trying to tell me that gay is the way? I have no idea. I don't know dream interpretation.

Y’all say Night Stalker was too graphic but a girl graphically killing herself in the bathroom was art. I bet the victims thought it was too fucking graphic too lmfao

Night Stalker, Netflix

After finishing Night Stalker I found that it was a documentary for the police and for the families. It uniquely didn’t dwell or get us to sympathise with Ramirez. With these crimes being so violent and traumatic, I like that they gave a insight into the people rather than focussing solely on their gruesome deaths. That being said it didn’t make it any easier to follow the crime reports and the increasing number of victims. When it comes to not sympathizing with Ramirez that includes not giving him this long backstory in a way justying his actions due to his childhood or experineces along the way; there are outlets for that just not here.

Overall a very ‘true crime’ documentary, a clear explanation about the clues and the tactics that the police used along the way to finally convict the Night Stalker. Scary and heartbreaking though, unimaginable horror to be committed at home.

I AM SICK OF IT. SICK, SICK SICK! Sick of parents that kick me, sick of parents that belittle me, sick of parents to tell me not to get blood everyone if I kill myself, sick of parents that call me a monster, a demon,fat and ugly. Sick of parents that make me bleed. I'm sick, sick of them.

I’ve learned about serial killer and conspiracy theories and nothing has scared me more than Richard Ramirez. I’ve been paranoid for months. I’ll forgot about it and then when he’s mentioned on tiktok or something, it literally strikes a fear in me and I get paranoid about my surroundings.
