listening to natasha pierre and the great comet of 1812 for the first time and i just looked up pierre's age expecting him to be like 50 at least. only to discover that the guy who is constantly singing about how terrified he is that he's wasted his entire life and will never do anything meaningful or love anyone truly. is 27 years-old.

people really just walk into horror movies and expect them not to deal with uncomfortable things despite the genre being dedicated to discomfort.

i saw so many people complain that lisa frankenstein, a movie where one of the leads is famously a rotting corpse, was too gross for them. when i walked out of nosferatu, i heard people say that the nudity was uncalled for... in a vampire film. nudity? in MY gothic horror?! unheard of!

a LOT of people really need to accept that maybe some genres just aren't to their taste, idk. not every movie needs to be cookie-cutter clean. sexuality is a staple of gothic horror, if not the wider genre horror in General. you don't need to enjoy it, but it doesn't make these things uncalled for.

hilarious to me that hwang donghyuk keeps sending his actors specifically gay ship edits of their characters

indra das’s horror short story “here comes your man” is free to read for the first time! i read it the other day and uff. the ending was amazing. i like how das interrogates masculinity. i didn’t use to think i liked short stories but i realize now i just wasn’t reading the ones that were right for me lol

Bad End.

"To one thing I have made up my mind; if we find out that Mina must be a vampire in the end, then she shall not go into that unknown and terrible land alone.”

A week or so ago I was "half-lucid dreaming" (aware I was dreaming but not nearly as conscious as daytime self, and still somewhat "on rails"). I decided to try and turn it into a sex dream, walked up to a door and went "ok, when I go through this door, on the other side there will be attractive people to have sex with", and then upon going through it was a large space (IIRC like a high school gymnasium) that was dark, cold, and completely empty. There were even cobwebs hanging from the ceiling. It was cartoonish in its lack of subtlety.

also crazy competent as a leader. in the six-legged race she consistently de-escalates potential freakouts and reassures her team members that it's okay to mess up a little bit, which is exactly what the game requires (see: youngil messing up on purpose and staging a freakout). she's amazing and i love her so much

I'm rewatching Squid Game S2 and once again emotional about how good Hyunju is, right from the moment she decides to risk her life to save a complete stranger
