the simon fan fiction i read has left me emotionally hungover i can’t —

Ok what are y’all’s fav horror movies? Or horror media in general
#jusr watched the ring and literally I could adopt that little girl and I could fix her#my thing with vengeful ghost media is it’s always funny to me because I’m like man what’s your fuckin problem#they never get revenge on the right people#like I promise the random ass family thag moved into your house 200 years after your violent death didn’t have anything to do with it bud#horror is so funny I love it#what if a spooky guy was like I’m gonna getcha#I’m gonna getcha#anyways my fav horror movies are anything by Jordan peele the Blair witch project and the shining (though I have issues with shining lol)#oh and scream I really loved scream#anyways I’ve been trying to get more into the classics but I’ll watch anything#love psychological horror the most#lea talks

i just saw a post that was obviously vagueing about that popular vampirism as disability post being like "OF COURSE a post being like 'what if vampires (bloodthirsty predators) were actually the victims and people reacting negatively were the villains' would do well on tumblr, this is the Nothing Is Ever Your Fault website" and it just pisses me off because its like, hey man. modern vampires (the ones that came about in victorian times, that are loosely based on eastern european folklore) have existed for like a hundred years now and people have been characterizing vampires as a 'species' in a bunch of different ways for just as long, and the person who made the original post clearly chose to characterize them as basically normal humans mentally but a bit fucked up physically. yknow, kind of like disabled people
#istg theres nothing more annoying than people who get all pissy about vampires not being 'real monsters'#because they dont go around being feral or uncontrollably bloodthirsty or mercilessly killing people or whatever#like. modern vampires have never been like that!!#the folkloric ones probably were but when people talk about 'the original vampires' or 'classic vampires' theyre not talking about those!#theyre talking about victorian vampires!!#and fundamentally the horror of those vampires - the thing that sets them apart from other monsters in the cultural zeitgeist#is that they appear like normal humans at first but then they suddenly reveal their DANGEROUS FREAK side and then you gotta kill them!!!#thats arguably why a lot of queer people love to sympathize with vampires: they also feel like dangerous freaks that are gonna be found out#by the Good Normal Christians around them#its especially annoying when its Those kinds of dracula daily people complaining about it#(which the person im vagueing about here was they had it in their bio and i saw it when i blocked them)#becauss its like. that IS dracula!!#count dracula was never a bloodthirsty monster in the sense that he couldnt control himself hes literally a weird guy when hes introduced#people remark on the fact that him just being a straightup antagonist as opposed to a sympathetic or tragic character#makes the original book feel more subversive than all the movies that try to be subversive my making him sympathetic#but thats not because hes a 'real monster' in the book from the getgo and isnt in those movies#the thing that makes the book feel 'subversive' is that its not focused on dracula#while the movies usually are#but i think personality-wise a lot of the movies ive seen do an alright job#if anything i feel dracula is often *less* sympathetic bc hes often just characterized as A Charming Guy#whereas draculas quirkyness (for lack of a better trm) in the book makes him kindof endearing initially#at least to me#and thats not to mention the fact that for all the people whining about the oh so many sympathetic vampire portrayals that exist#in popular media#there really. arent that many.#atleat not in cinema im not too well-versed in the literature side of things#like ive seen dozens of vampire moviea from the 1920s to the 80s and theyre seriously so rare its crazy#granted its not like most tumblr people would watch a movie from that time frame anyway#unless i told them there were gay men in them but unfortunately theres a true yaoi scarcity when it comes to this subgenre#so how are they supposed to knoe

The downside of being a fan of The Boys that nobody talks about: it ruins horror movies for you. 😭😭 It makes you so desensitized that anything that happens in a horror movie, any violence or gore, doesn’t shock you or even creep you out slightly. You just sit there like “damn I’ve seen more fucked up stuff on the boys than this” 😭
#it’s kinda funny#like for example#3 or so years ago I watched midsommar and thought it was fucking terrifying and couldn’t get over what I saw#and then I rewatched it a few weeks ago and I was like ‘oh this isn’t even that bad’#still fucking adore that movie tho and it’s def still unsettling in other ways but my point is the violence#literally felt like nothing the second time around#other examples more recently: the substance and terrifier 2#literally unphased#I mean I’ve never truly been scared of horror movies maybe like 2 in my entire life#but now I’m completelyyyyy desensitized 😭😭#the boys#the boys amazon

don't mind me i'm just watching some monsterfucker movies for 'research' purposes
#getting some inspiration for this werewolf horror story#when i came up with the idea i had three movies in mind#dracula 2000 obviously because that's the one i was watching at the time#but i was also thinking of The Mummy 1999#and so i watched that last night#and tonight i'm gonna watch a movie i only saw once but has lived in my head rent free#this movie is one i watched because Youtube suggested a review video for it and the review said it was awful#but the reason it was awful was because the monster noncon-ed the main female character#so i of course went 👀 and had to watch it#it is just objectively a badly done movie but it played with some fun ideas#so it helped inspire some things for my own writing#and for anyone worried i'm copying or stealing things for my own books: i'm not making money off my writing and i post it to ao3#which is a fanfiction website#and even if i am heavily inspired by something you can rest assured it's my own take on the idea#i'm not James Somerton emotionlessly reading out someone else's writing#while the spark of inspiration may come from others it's all my own words and imagination bringing my version to life#and i'd never try to hide where i got ideas from#one of my stories (that I may post soon) is literally called Twilight But Better rofl

Why does instagram keep showing me shitty over gorey superhero cartoons go away
#I literally couldn’t care less#if your story is gorey become you think its cool and edgy or it’s there for shock factor#then news flash it’s just shitty#like. okay. I didn’t need to see a slow motion shot of this guy being torn to shreds as he runs through this other guy who’s Made Of Metal#and I did not need to see that other guy literally ripped in half#what purpose does it serve? absolutely nothing#I don’t know if this is a shitty take or what but#I just feel like. if it doesn’t serve a purpose. then it’s not needed you know it’s just pointless and you’re just doing it to be gross#you can make the point you’re trying to make 99% of the time just as impactfully#but you don’t need to show off the internal organs of multiple human beings#i’m not saying never use gore ever- i just think too many stories lean on it as a crutch to gross people out or be edgy or whatever#I watched a movie recently and it was effectively just gore because they were trying to be edgy#and it would’ve been fucking FINE without it#like. especially horror movies. that pisses me off real bad.#if in a horror movie. all you’re relying on is The Gross. and not The Horror. then you have missed the point.#some movies are designed to be like that so they’re whatever#like final destination and shit like that#but y’know when the focus is on something like the paranormal and a monster and you’re just like!!! look!!!! here’s a person being slowly-#fuckin. grinded into a paste for 4 Minutes With Nasty Sounds And Visuals#then we’ve lost the focus and it’s more just these people being dipshits than it is a scary movie#I’m rambling.#point is!!!! gore can be used but I feel like unless it Serves A Purpose it’s useless and just gross#stop using it to be edgy or make your story ‘cool’ it’s not#you’re just boring actually#apologies for the tag ramble#If you like these shows good for you! genuinely! i will not be partaking

Halloween Recommendation: Stephen King's Rose Red
** This one can be tricky to find. It was originally released as a 3 night mini-series in 2002, but then re-released as a motion picture. Apparently Hulu has it?

In 1906, oil barron John Rimbauer built a veritable palace overlooking Seattle. It was his young bride, Ellen, who would give the house it's name: Rose Red.
First blood was drawn before the foundation was even laid. A foreman, murdered over a simple argument. Bizarre deaths and mysterious disappearances plagued Rose Red, swallowing up the Rimbauer family, their servants, friends, and anyone who dared enter.
Eventually, the grand estate fell into disrepair. Paranormal investigators descended upon the property, but none were ever able to solve the mystery, nor stop the deaths.
Now, more than 90 years after the first deaths at Rose Red, Steven Rimbauer, the last living descendant of John and Ellen Rimbauer, has been offered massive sums of money to sell Rose Red. It will be totally leveled, the land used for condos.
Before the house is destroyed, Steven agrees to let Dr. Joyce Reardon and a cobbled-together team of psychics, mediums, and other paranormal investigators do one final sweep of the house.
What evil lurks within Rose Red?
What horrors did John and Ellen Rimbauer summon in their palatial estate- or were they victims themselves?
Why does Rose Red kill the men, but swallow the souls of the women and force them to haunt it's halls?
How many of Dr. Joyce Reardon's team can escape with their lives?
*** Stephen King wrote the screenplay for this story, but there is no novel. Instead, as part of the publicity and hype leading up to the miniseries premiere, "The Diary of Ellen Rimbauer" was published, serving as a prequel. You can buy the novel on Kindle.
#tv recommendations#tv recommendation#movie recommendations#movie recommendation#rose red#stephen king#one of his least known that's been translated to screen i'd say#mainly because he wrote the screenplay but for whatever reason it was never released in book form#god this scared me as a kid- to the point where i was nervous just writing this thing#let alone finding the poster for this- there's a still of 2 of the ghosts that usually comes up and i was scared i'd see it#literally had to sleep with blankets over my head and spread eagle across any bed for like 10 years because of one scene in particular#i was terrified#still can't sleep with a closet door even the slightest bit open#my parents wanted to prevent me from watching more than the 2nd night#because as much as the 1st night scared me#the 2nd night was so much worse and where most of my fears came from#i should say at this point- i loved horror; i couldn't be scared; but this one wrecked me#anyways#i had to fight my parents to be allowed to see the final night because i needed to see how it ended to MAYBE be less scared#like if you see the evil die you're fine#but i was so scared i kept my eyes covered the whole time anyways and i have no idea what happened#nowadays it might not even be scary to adult-me but why take the RISK

how are you liking bunny:))?? i bought it last year bc the cover was pink and bright and pretty and although I remember thinking it wasn’t GREAT i could not put it down at alll
OH MY GOD. I absolutely hate this book, I am so disappointed. LIKE??? I’ve only heard good things about it on booktok, BUT, I’ve never felt pure rage at a book quite like this. DONT GET ME WRONG, the writing is MWAH, but the plot and the main character, SAMANTHA. SHE MAKES ME SO MAD. But I hate everyone in this book, so more or less said. BUT ALSO *spoiler* I WAS SO EXCITED FOR LIKE A DARK FANTASY HORROR BOOK FOR IT TO LITERALLY BE MEN…. THEY SACRIFICE BUNNIES SO THEY CAN MAKE THEIR OWN FUCKING MEN??? I wanted MIND TWISTING, DISTURBING, TWISTED, LITERALLY ANYTHING NOT MEN. (I am still reading it because it’s super fucking bizarre and weird and even though I HATE it, I am still enjoying it.)
Long story short… this book is a dumpster fire 🫶🏽
I could literally rant all day about books THANK YOU FOR ASKING ME!!! One of these days I’m gonna just start talking about books on this blog and none of you will be able to stop me.
#such a terrible terrible book but I love it sm#I also really love watching really terrible low quality horror movies#I’m a connoisseur of bad things#oh? For me?#ani’s yap sesh𝟅𝟈#if you guys talk to me about books I will literally never shut up#meowkn 📝🌠

#I've never been this confused and conflicted about anything in my life#I kept checking my watch but not to look at the time (didn't know how long the movie was anyway) no I had to keep looking at#pictures of John Larroquette every time I got too upset#so much surgery stuff#I almost left#most of this movie was pretty much.... what my nightmares feel like.#never seen anything that has that exact same feeling#literally this was the most terrifying horrifying awful thing I have ever seen#no horror movie has ever scared me this much#also so many genitals#wow#and just. everything#not the point at all but tbh I only didn't leave because ramy youssef is extremely beautiful and I needed to look at his face again#and I kinda don't like Mark Ruffalo anymore.... not his fault he did a great job but. no don't like it#I'm. having feelings and they feel weird#I will never watch this again ever as long as I live but I really liked the ending. very nice. the goat guy got what he deserved 💖#personal

i do this fun thing with my roommate where i sometimes explicitly not tell him what i'm putting on the TV, such as when i tricked him into watching Tammy and the T-Rex restored R-rated cut
today i put on Kevin Can Fuck Himself without explaining and experienced the joy of seeing him go "What. The Fuck, Is This" while knowing that i must've put this misogynistic shitass sitcom on for a reason. and then when that reason dropped his elation and immediate interest spiked.
#in case this escapes containment: i never do this with known triggering material#the amount of times he comes home and i'm like I'M WATCHING A FUCKED UP HORROR MOVIE#as a warning#literally innumerable

I just realized that the orbital lasers video was made by a horror YouTuber I like! I guess I'll have to check out that lasers video....
Anyway, here's a cool analysis of cool video games and haunted houses in general!
#original#I really like watching reviews for games that I'm never going to play. especially since I'm not allowed to play horror games#and by not allowed I mean I don't allow myself to do it because it is medically bad for my nervous system#but I think horror games are so fucking cool and I wish I could play them!!!!!#layers of fear was so frightening that I had to be told I couldn't medically play it!#that was the first and last horror game I ever played and it was scarier than literally any other movie I've ever seen.#and I like horror movies! I can watch those!#I think it's very notable that some of the very best horror being manufactured is interactive in brilliant innovative ways#anyone who says video games are a lesser form of art is not paying attention!!#Youtube
