#// but goddaaamnnn the tek series (especially 1-4) used to have some major haunting vibes to it

[demonsfate]

like kazumi can say "i will teach you the true meaning of fear" but it has nothing on the og unknown who was a soulless and expressionless puppet to a wolf demon with faces coming out of his body. it has nothing on the original dj who was a literal agonizing experience for jin, jin would wretch and gag as dj tries to take over, he'd hold his chest, and when dj DOES take over - it's in near utter silence other than the sickly noise of his wings spreading out. it has nothing on kazuya killing his son and father, and their deaths remaining a cold case nobody could ever solve. it has nothing on jane reactivating jack in a very dark room and she has that weird fucking smile on her face. it has nothing on king taking down people in the wrestling ring, and then panicking when he realizes armor king isn't there watching him - only to rush into the backroom, and see that ak is just sitting there... sick... completely silent. it has nothing on jin, dying slowly of blood loss after being executed via firing squad, hopelessly reaching out to his own grandfather - only to be shot in the head. it has nothing on how sickly dj used to appear. it has-

what i'm saying is that damn i missed the actual horror-esque and downright upsetting vibes the series could have and it's something i'll forever mourn.
