[fear-is-truth]

i’m sorry if you’ve answered this before, or if it’s somewhere and i haven’t seen it, but which have you watched all ahs seasons? who are your favourite characters from each?

love ya 💋

ahhhh thanks for the ask !! ahs is hands down my favourite show EVER and i’ve been lowkey waiting for someone to ask me ahs related questions hehe ^^

murder house – tate langdon

tate is such a mess, but he’s also so captivating. he’s one of those characters you hate to love because he does some heinous shit, but there’s this other side to him that makes you wanna understand him.

asylum – lana winters

lana is everything. she’s strong, determined, smart, but also flawed, which makes her feel real. her story is so heavy, but watching her survive and fight through everything is insanely inspiring. the best-written characters in the entire season.

coven – misty day

my baby. so pure & sweet. she’s that person you just want to protect because the world doesn’t deserve her. i love her stevie nicks obsession and boho vibe.

freak show – dandy mott

dandy is completely mental. but he’s also kind of pitiful, in a patrick bateman way. finn wittrock absolutely killed it playing that man-child, too.

hotel – sally mckenna

she’s so sad and angry, and you feel that in every scene. messy and broken, but there’s something about her pain that’s so raw. sarah paulson really made her truly unforgettable.

cult – kai & winter anderson

kai is hands down the best-written and most complex character ryan murphy has ever created. i would die on that fucking hill. he’s terrifying, manipulative, and completely ruthless, but you can see where it all comes from—family trauma and probably some sort of untreated mental illness. evan peters completely NAILED that role. kai is screwed up and brilliant, which makes him such a fascinating character.

winter (my actual girlfriend) is such a mood. she’s always walking this fine line between loyalty to her brother and hating what he’s doing. (their fucked up sibling dynamic + the chemistry between evan and billie was super captivating) she’s one of the few characters in cult that i really felt for.

apocalypse – michael langdon

michael is such an interesting character because, at his core, he’s basically a kid who’s just confused and craves love and connection. he wants so badly to be understood, but no matter how hard he tries, he can’t escape his fate as the son of satan. there’s something so tragic about him because you can see those flashes of humanity, but he’s completely doomed by what he was born into. cody fern brought so much depth to michael, and his performance made him one of the most memorable characters in the series.

red tide – austin sommers

he is so diva, literally what’s not to love about him??!

tysm for the ask !! what about you pookie ?

Nah thinking about alpha from the batgirl 2000 run again cause I find him so funny

This fella incase no one knows who tf I’m yapping about

like his name is literally alpha that alone kills me every time I see him, his real name is Michael Sommers or whatever but that sounds stupid

but anyway imagine you’re him, you have that whole thing with the amnesia and you meet batgirl who keeps trying to get you to become good even when you’re literally about to let a shit ton of stuff explode (I haven’t read it in like a week so I forgot what’s exploding whoops) so she convinces you to not let the bomb thing explode then you quit being evil

My reading skills stopped developing when I was 10 so I don’t really know why he suddenly joined the opps but whatever, so you (alpha) are in the league of assassins now and are training with lady shiva and everyone keeps gassing up this ‘the one who is all’ well guess what? That’s batgirl! And guess what? She’s here now! And guess what? She’s dead now! And guess what? You’re not relevant anymore, bye.

Anyway I find that so much funnier than what it is

Experimentations // Valiant Thor

WARNINGS: tentacles, non consensual, breeding, alien sex (it’s just nasty stuff to forewarn you)

In this story just pretend that Valiant is part alien. I know in the show he’s a robot or whatever, but for the sake of this he isn’t.

He just seemed to appear one day out of thin air, and in a way he did. You never spoke to Valiant up until today, when the mysterious man had approached you.

You’d been promoted to work on this new project which was called ‘Area 51.’ If you could even call it a promotion. The ones in charge of the organization barely told you anything about what went on inside of there, deeming is ‘confidential.’ God forbid you talk back, or you’d lose your job.

You worked lower down on the hierarchy, driving as transportation, bringing people to and from the large building, as well as security. It was stupid that nobody bothered giving you a gun, but you had a taser tucked away in your pocket just in case something were to go array. The real security were the men wearing heavy duty armor scattered about the property.

Valiant had asked to speak with you in private, which struck you as odd considering the two of you had never spoken up until now. Alas, you agreed since he was your superior.

“Am I even allowed in here?”

You’d asked, following the man through the entrance and hallways of the place. To be fair, if you weren’t allowed, somebody would have stopped you from proceeding further by now.

He didn’t respond, instead, leading you to a door which he opened and ushered you inside.

“Take a seat, we may be a while.”

You heard his voice, walking into the room as you took a seat on one of the many chairs in the room. It was surprisingly homey in there, aside from the blinding colors of white on white plastered on everything.

The man locked the door behind you two, taking a seat in front of you on one of the chairs. Up until now you hadn’t seen him up close, but you had to admit that he was quite attractive. His eyes were entrancing and you found yourself getting lost in them. They didn’t seem human. He didn’t seem human…

“Can I get you anything? Coffee, water…?”

You shook your head no, but thanked him for the offer.

“My name is Valiant Thor, but you can call me Val. This isn’t technically a formal meeting.”

He introduced himself, lips curling into an uncanny smirk. He was attractive, yes, but there was something that wasn’t right about him.

“I’m-“

“Y/n. I should know the names of my colleagues.”

Val cut you off. It was weird he referred to you as his colleague since he never paid much attention to you. It wasn’t like you held it against him or anything, it’s just that he worked on the inside and you didn’t.

“Mhm. May I ask what the meaning of this is, Val?”

You didn’t want to come off as rude, but you were growing anxious not knowing what you were doing in this man’s office, and wanted to cut to the chase.

“Yes, of course. To get right down to business, I was hoping you could provide me with some information… something that could stay just between the two of us. See, I know that you escort some pretty important people, Y/n. People that run the country.”

There was silence for a few moments. Val sat completely straight and proper, not seeming to show much emotion in his words, nor his expression.

“What kind of information?”

He hesitated for a moment before answering.

“If I’m being transparent with you, I don’t get told much. Of course I help run this operation, but I know that people talk… have you heard anything of importance, Y/n…?”

He leaned in a bit, it was subtle but you caught the movement. Looking down at yourself, you lost yourself in a train of thought.

There wasn’t much that you’d overheard, but you knew that Valiant was different from you. Area 51 wasn’t something the public really knew about at this point, and something about new technology; using it against ‘them’ whoever they were supposed to be… But if you told him that you knew this, it was putting your job on the line. Was it worth it to tell this man what you knew?

“Y/n… if there’s something you know, you can tell me.”

Valiant reassured you. You continued to weigh out the options, because maybe Val was only here to help. You’d want to know information if someone was keeping it from you too…

———————————

Everything was so bright when you opened your eyes, so much so that you had to squint before they fully adjusted to the room.

You instinctively go to stand up, only to realize you were being held down. Glancing down at your body, you see that you’re completely naked, strapped down to a cold, hard metal table. Where were you? What the hell was happening?

“Hello?! Someone help me!” You cry out. You sounded pathetic, but you didn’t care, you just wanted out of here. Other than that the room was dark, and you couldn’t see much of it because there was a big bright light shining down above you, obstructing your view of the rest of the room. And since you were lying down, you couldn’t move your head around much.

“Y/n, you’re finally awake.” A familiar voice. A face comes into view on your left hand side.

“Val… Val thank god, you can help me out of here… someone… someone brought me here and tied me down.” You wriggle around a bit beneath the restraints, further proving your point that they wouldn’t budge and you were trapped.

“Leave? You want to leave this soon? We haven’t even started the experiment.”

“Experiment, what experiment?”

“Well we want to see what would happen if my kind and your kind were to try and reproduce.”

Chills tickled your spine as he spoke. So he wasn’t human… then what was he? Your heart sped up anxiously, terrified of what was about to happen to you.

“Please try and relax, your struggle will only make it more painful.” He traced his hand down your arm, down to your thigh. If he was human you might actually be enjoying this, but this wasn’t right at all.

“Please, no!” You beg, thrashing around. “Nobody can hear you… this is strictly between you… and me.” He walked around to your other side, whispering the words in your ear.

If you could even just break out of the restraints for a moment, you could try and fight back. But whoever had put them on you definitely knew what they were doing.

And just like that, he was out of your sight again. And that’s when you felt one of the weirdest sensations you’d ever felt before in your life. Something cold and slimy slid up your leg, trailing across your inner thighs. Desperately, you tried to pry your head down to see what was happening but it was physically impossible.

“No!!” You protest, feeling whatever it was getting dangerously close to your entrance. Your legs had been restrained to a point where they were forcefully spread open.

Just as you feared, the thing slowly started to enter you, unwanted arousal causing you to shiver in delight. It was so cold, and felt like it had lube on it, but you knew that it wasn’t lubricant… it was some sort of slime.

“No, no… Val, please…” you moaned, feeling it get deeper and deeper inside of you. It didn’t feel quite like dick, it was a different sensation all together.

“Just relax…” you could hear his voice once more, strangely close by which led you to believe that whatever was inside of you right now was a part of him.

You felt two more slide around your thighs, chilling you to the core. These ones were close enough to where you could look at them which only made you scream in terror. They looked like grey tentacles, as if they had minds of their own.

The ones on your thighs tightened a bit, while the one inside of you twitched, causing it to hit your clit. You were close to orgasming as much as you hated to admit it. A loud moan left your lips.

“Good girl… don’t resist… let yourself climax while I plant my seed in you.” Val spoke, trying to comfort you. But he didn’t, your eyes only widened in horror when you realized you were about to be pregnant with his baby or whatever it was.

“Please, I’ll do anything!!” You continued to plead, struggling against the tentacles. You were trying to hold back, but when the one inside you reached a point you didn’t know any length could reach, a wave of pleasure and pain passed over you and you reached your climax.

Loud whines escaped your mouth, eyes rolling to the back of your head. Tears formed in your eyes at the realization of what was happening, but just as quickly as it started, it was over. The tentacles retreated back to his body, leaving cum and slime along your thighs and entrance, clit throbbing as you came down off of the high.

Val came into sight once again, his eyes lifeless and a glowing white color. “Thank you for cooperating with me, Y/n…”

———————————

“Y/n…? What do you know?”

You hear Valiant’s voice, your head snapping up to his.

“You look like you’ve seen a ghost… are you going to tell me what you’ve heard?”

Had that entire thing been fake? Did you imagine that? The expression on his face led you to believe that it was a threat… of what would happen if you wouldn’t do exactly what he asked of you.

Your brain could be a bitch sometimes…

S1, Ep. 3: Marriage of Figaro (2007) Mad Men (2007-2015)

[bluntshavingrazor]

All the games I have on Steam that involve live-action FMV sections, ranked entirely in order of how good the acting is.

This is in ascending order, so while I might say something has a 'low' ranking, I actually mean it's near the top. Just to keep you on your toes. Also, please be aware that a low ranking on this list is not intended as comment on the gameplay itself, or meant as an insult towards the actors involved. Many of these games were recorded in front of blue-screens with minimal interaction with characters, props, or context. Anything that is intended as an insult towards the actors will be openly addressed as such.

BAD MOJO (REDUX) - 1996

Vaguely inspired by Franz Kafka's The Metamorphosis, Bad Mojo sees the protagonist Roger Samms transformed into a cockroach moments before he attempts to run away to Mexico with a suitcase of stolen money. With how much he eats the scenery, he might have been better off getting transformed into a termite instead (affectionate insult). OK, they were clearly going for a surrealist vibe here so the acting choices are fitting, but I still ranked it lowest because most of the other speaking characters are insects who speak to you in rhyming couplets for some reason and that got real irritating after a while.

Roger Samms was played by Michael X. Sommers, who later went on to have a recurring role in the show Sense8 as 'Bug'.

HARVESTER - 1996

An young man named Steve wakes up to find himself in a small US town with no memory of who he is, how he got there, or who any of the people claiming to be his friends and family are. This is a really hard one to grade, because despite being an English-language game developed in the USA, the characters are dubbed over by different actors to the ones who play them physically. As far as I know it's the only game on this list that does that. Like Bad Mojo, it does help to increase the disturbing, surreal tone of the game. Unfortunately, that doesn't raise it higher on the list.

Steve Mason was voiced by Ryan Wickerham, who went on to voice act in many other video games including Turok 2, Deus Ex: Invisible War, and DC Universe Online. He was portrayed physically by Kurt Kistler, who went on to be arrested in 2010.

PHANTASMAGORIA - 1995

Remember when I said that the ranking on this list was not intended as an insult to the actors? This is why; Victoria Morsell does her best as Adrienne Delaney, a mystery writer who recently moved into a needlessly big and inevitably haunted house with her husband Don. But you can find the BTS footage of them doing the scenes, where she is acting in a set that is completely blue. You can't be expected to perform well under those conditions.

Then there's the housekeeper and her son, who are played by a comedy gnome and Lennie from Of Mice and Men, respectively. (Insult? I dunno.)

As far as I can tell, Victoria Morsell quit acting a few years after the game when she married David Hemingson, writer of 2023's festive comedy drama The Holdovers.

TOONSTRUCK - 1996

This is the part where we get into cast members that have actual IMDB credits to their name. The story of a cartoon animator who is pulled into a cartoon world to help save it from corruption, Toonstruck features Christopher Lloyd and Ben Stein, as well as some other people who don't count because they are voicing animated characters. Yeah, Lloyd and Stein (Protagonist Drew Blanc and his boss, Sam Schmaltz) are the only live-action actors in the game and Stein only appears briefly during the start and ending cutscenes. Honestly I debated even putting it on the list. I compromised by only rating it by the live-action parts; Lloyd is good throughout but Ben Stein sucks. Both as an actor and just in general.

Christopher Lloyd later went on to appear as Granddad in King of Van Nuys, the poorly conceived US remake of beloved British sitcom Only Fools and Horses. The pilot was never picked up. He also did some movies about time travel back in the 80s or something.

NOCTROPOLIS - 1994

Peter Grey, recently divorced and living in the back room of his failing bookshop, gets transported into the world of his favourite comic book superhero Darksheer and has to take the hero's place to fight five of his greatest enemies.

OK, I'm gonna be honest here, the acting in Noctropolis is also not that great. It's almost all character portrait things where the actors speak directly into the camera in response to the dialogue option chosen; there isn't much in the way of acted cutscenes I could make a proper opinion over. I would have put it before Toonstruck if not for one reason, and that is because during the ending credits they do a blooper reel from the recording sessions and the actress playing Stiletto (another superhero) has a really adorable laugh.

Peter Grey was played by Michael Berger, who was apparently in one episode of Malcolm in the Middle.

Stiletto was played by Hope Marie Carlton, who snorts when she laughs.

DOCTOR WHO - THE LONELY ASSASSINS - 2021

Yes, you read that right. This one is actually from the 2000s. Amazing. This is a tie-in game for Doctor Who and actually involves Ingrid Oliver and Finlay Robertson, who play Petronella Osgood and Larry Nightingale, respectively. The acting is fine, I guess, but the dialogue itself often comes across as very This Is Exposition-y, and that's hard to sell.

Sally Sparrow was played by Carey Mulligan, who does not appear in this game despite being the central character of Blink, which this game is a sequel to. Probably couldn't afford her these days.

PHANTASMAGORIA: A PUZZLE OF FLESH - 1996

The first Phantasmagoria was done entirely on a blue-screen set, and it shows. Phantasmagoria 2 was done almost entirely on an actual, physical set and holy shit it shows. Characters actually interact with their environment in a convincing, realistic way. Dialogue between them feels natural, like they're not simply reading their lines from a script. The game feels like you're watching a low budget, made-for-TV horror movie which, while that would be a terrible review for an actual movie, is a win for this list.

It also plays like you're watching a low budget, made-for-TV horror movie but gameplay is not a factor in this list.

Curtis Craig is played by Paul Morgan Stetler, who now has a YouTube channel where he talks about old adventure games and interviews people involved in the industry. He did a playthrough of the game there as well.

WILD EYED AND WICKED - Review

DISTRIBUTOR: Gravitas Ventures

SYNOPSIS:  In a family haunted by a menacing medieval creature for generations, Lily Pierce grapples with the childhood loss of her mother, Silvia. Her therapist and girlfriend offer support as she navigates the pain of the anniversary of her mother's death. Encouraged to confront her past, Lily accepts an invitation from her estranged father, a disgraced history professor, to visit the farm where she grew up. To overcome the haunting presence, Lily must discover the strength and courage of a bygone era, a time when armored knights bravely faced and vanquished monsters.

REVIEW: Filmmaker Gordon S Foxwood sets out to tell a story that attempts to deconstruct a contemporary tale of knights and demons as a heroine grables with her mother’s demons, aided by her father and friend.

At its core, the WILD EYED AND WICKED exhibits influences from screenwriter Richard LaGravenese's "The Fisher King" and similar stories of the genre. Lily grapples with relationship issues and family trauma, but her psyche remains relatively stable compared to Parry in "The Fisher King." She embodies some aspects of both Parry and Jack Lucas. After encountering her mother's armor, letters, and pages from an old book about a demon, Lily ventures into the forest to confront the demon. The final act shifts the focus towards her relationships with her father and girlfriend. Ultimately, a collective effort is needed for Lily to break through and confront the demon. Director Foxwood does a commendable job of balancing these elements, but the film lacks fresh or compelling aspects to keep viewers engaged. Additionally, some of the dialogue feels insincere or unnecessary, and the story's lack of surprises diminishes its impact.

While the film features an attractive location and decent costumes, it falls short in several other areas. The cinematography is often very dark. The props lack authenticity due to insufficient aging. The editing pace is slow, featuring Lily’s excessive phone and laptop screen time. Lengthy dialogue scenes between Lily and her father utilize basic framing and methodical cutting, further contributing to the sluggish pacing. Numerous flashbacks to young Lily and her mother aim to provide background, but they ultimately slow down the narrative. The jump scares feel ineffective due to mistimed setups and poor execution. The obligatory montage sequence before the battle lacks energy and enthusiasm. The fight sequence is underwhelming, partly attributed to the simplistic demon design devoid of menace, the lackluster choreography and the sluggish editing.

Despite not being terrible, the performances failed to captivate this viewer. While the tale's depressing themes are appreciated, the characters lacked the spark needed to provide viewers with a sense of hope to sustain their interest. Unfortunately, there was no character or performance that offered any emotional contrast. All the emotional levels felt suppressed, and there were moments when the characters should have been more emotionally engaged but didn't come across as fully invested or enraged.

WILD EYED AND WICKED has a made-for-tv movie or Hallmark channel production feel to it. Many of its plot devices lack originality, resembling other stories and films with similar themes. The film lacks atmosphere, even during the protagonist's ride into the forest, and fails to build tension, suspense, a sense of wonder or  the loss of innocence. Although it is an independent film and may have had budget constraints, other filmmakers have achieved more with less. The overly ambitious film falls short. While it is clearly a labor of love for Gordon Shoemaker Foxwood, it is also a laborious watch for the viewer.

CAST: Molly Kunz, Michael X. Sommers, Stefanie Estes, and Colleen Camp. CREW: Director/Screenplay/Producer - Gordon Shoemaker Foxwood; Producers - Powell Robinson & Patrick Robert Young; Cinematographers - Matheus Bastos & Eyal Bau Cohen; Score - Kyle Hnedak; Editor - William Ford-Conway ; Production Designer - Hanna Hamilton; Costume Designer - Nadine Sondej-Robinson; Visual Effects Artists - Chris Riley & Justin Sarceno; Prosthetic Designer - Isabelle Isel; Practical Effects - Independent Studio Services & J&M Effects.

BlackBerry (2023) Review

I have never owned a BlackBerry myself. Instead I had the enjoyment of having a Vodafone phone - a cheap rip-off that looked, felt and played like a BlackBerry only for less money. Turns out, I saved a heck of a lot as that phone lasted me all through my sixth-form and university days. Less can be said about the reliability of the BlackBerry evidently.

Plot:  A company that toppled global giants before succumbing to the ruthlessly competitive forces of Silicon Valley. This is not a conventional tale of modern business failure by fraud and greed. The rise and fall of BlackBerry reveals the dangerous speed at which innovators race along the information superhighway.

We’ve had plenty of techy origin film come and go, and many good ones at that such as The Social Network and Steve Jobs, and even the recent Tetris lent itself more to be a solid commentary on the communist regime of the Soviet Union and a study into the legal drama behind the game rather than some cheesy parody featuring tetrominoes in the style of The Emoji Movie. So I went into BlackBerry with a very open mind, as even though I’m aware of the phone’s existence, I never really knew the story behind how this popular mobile device all of a sudden vanished from the public eye so quickly. Back in the 2000s this device was all the rave, and all the kids at school would go out of their way to persuade their parents to get them one so that they can show it off to their classmates as if they were some rich businessmen. Now however this phone is all but forgotten. I checked prior to writing this review and in fact you can still purchase some models from Amazon, so if you’re feeling strangely nostalgic about your school days, feel free to waste your money. Anyway, back to the movie...

BlackBerry is a perfectly acceptable history lesson. It’s very informative and plays out more so like a visual guide of a Wikipedia page. You’re given the detailed journey of how the company Research In Motion came to create such an iconic device, and then there eventual downfall. We’ve seen this kind of tale of fraud and greed many times before, however if you’ve enjoyed similar movies before, BlackBerry is an easy watch, and again, if you’ve ever been interested in the mobile phone’s backstory, you have it here loud and clear.

Main highlight of this film are the two central performances, both of whom are very much outside their comfort zones. It’s nice to see Jay Baruchel in a serious role, taking a break from training dragons, as Mike Lazaridis, the main creative mind behind the creation of the titular device. Baruchel is very good at portraying socially-awkward personas, however in previous films he did this for comedic purposes, however as Mike he manages to find the depth in the character as a tech genius who knows his craft and is being forced to speed run his creations when in reality he wants to take his time to create the best product. Glenn Howerton, who thus far has only been known as the narcissistic self-absorbed Dennis from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia, is Jim Balsillie, the guy who takes over Mike’s company for his greedy means. Howerton definitely gets the more showy performance, and does a solid job at being constantly angry with everyone. Howerton also decided to go full bald for this role and you got to give the guy props for the dedication.

I’d say the primary negative I have for this film is its cinematography and direction. Director Matt Johnson evidently seems to have been inspired by Adam McKay’s The Big Short, as he chooses to have the camera repeatedly pan left and right quickly as if all the events are being captured by a hidden camera, however this effect of chaotic shaky-cam can come as very jarring and dizzying, and overall was very distracting. Characters would be having some serious discussion about technology yet I’d be busy wondering if the cameraman’s been spooked by Blair fricking Witch. But overall BlackBerry tells an interesting story behind the scenes of the phone drama, and if anything else I came out of it having learnt something. Kind of feels like being back at school when in class the teacher would stick some film on for educational purposes and then afterwards I may have learnt something, but have never had the motivation to want to see that movie again.

Overall score: 6/10

BlackBerry    [trailer]

The story of the meteoric rise and catastrophic demise of the world's first smartphone.

An entertaining watch. It probably took a lot of liberties, but it's easy to imagine that this is more or less exactly how the company started. I do remember some of the events depicted in the film.

The three lead characters are so vastly different. Some people were probably annoyed by them. But I found it amusing the way they interacted with each other.

All three the actors that portray them give memorable performances. Jay Baruchel was difficult to recognise with that hair.

Emily Summers was worried. Her team captain, Michael Parker was nowhere to be found. He wasn't in the gym, or the cafeteria. She'd looked everywhere. Well, almost everywhere. She'd left one place unchecked. The place she dreaded. His room.

"Michael!" Emily exclaimed. "What are you doing?"

Michael didn't reply, his eyes glued to the screen, his hands holding the controller behind his ear in a baseball bat like fashion. The pitcher on screen pitched the ball. He watched it and took a swing.

"Home Run!" he whooped, throwing the controller into the air and grabbing Emily in a backbreaking hug.
