2. The Nurse - you’re either top tier or you absolutely suck, there’s no in between… how’s the motion sickness?

Hi Spooky !!! Sorry I’ve been kinda dead on the asks end (i have been keeping up with terrible trilogy and I’m loving it) but the Scream 6 trailer ?????? WHAT ????
Okay so I wasn’t as excited for it, specially because of Neve not being in it (still hoping that’s just them trying to trick us but she’s actually in the movie) but holy fucking shit the new tRAILER ????
YES !! YES !! I started screaming when watching the trailer “it’s Stu ! He survived ! It’s the cult plotline” cause I don’t fucking know where I saw this but Im SURE that one of the scrapped plots for 3 was Stu survived, went to jail and in jail found this cult like following and used them to terrorize Sidney (damn we could‘ve had it all)
The knife thing, the old ghostface mask, the literal fucking cult he has now !! All those ppl in the train (?) are probably red herrings, just ppl in their Halloween costumes, BUT OH MY GOD WHAT IF THEIR ALL IN THE CULT AND KILLING PPL ??? Actually terrifying
GF with a gun was hot (obviously) but I also lost it a little like ??? IS THAT ALLOWED ??? HE CANT HAVE A FUCKING GUN ??? Hot and also very scary (fucking delicious)
I’m now so excited for this fucking movie !! It’ll be the first Scream movie I get to see in theaters 🥺 so im really happy it’s gonna happen and I stg if I see Matthew Lillard getting unmasked— SPECIALLY if they pull some “Surprise Sidney” call back I think I’ll just cum immediately (is that too much ???? Nooo.... maybe ?? Idk you tell me skskskks)
If it’s not Stu however I think i have accidentally ruined this one for myself KSKSKSKS oh god
Star! I missed you where have you been loca? 😭💘
No valid!! I was so against it w/o Neve, I was like meh looks alright with the first trailer but the second??? I'm so sorry Neve but I gotta see it 🥲🎟
Him having a cult would be so damn amazing, never done before, scary af and SO FITTING FOR STU MACHER! AND CAN WE TALK ABOUT THE SHRINE? IMAGINE STU HAVING BILLY'S GF COSTUME IN THE MIDDLE AND OBSESSING OVER GETTING HIS KID TO DIE OR JOIN HIM
Everyone talks about Billy but Stu was by far the scariest. Jill was really the only GF imo trying to hold a candle to Billy (We can't count Roman bc he was on his own and the original technically and Mrs. Loomis as well obviously). But how many GF's have we had try to be like Stu? Mickey may have fanboyed Billy but he acted like Stu, Amber for sure, Charlie gladly took Stu's role next to Jill's Billy (Slapping himself and saying just like Billy and Stu the lil nerdling) Why? BECAUSE STU WAS THE MOVIE AND YOU AIN'T NEVER HAD A GF DUO LIKE BILLY AND STU
Stu was the og whose death wasn't clear, he was the goat and the franchise is doing such a fucking disservice to Matthew and fans by not finally showing SOMETHING to do with Stu Macher. 5 Movies and he's barely even mentioned??? No hate to Roman stans but it should have been Stu. BUUTTT Scream 6 looks infinitely better than 3 so if we get Stu in 6 being the baddest fucking GF we've ever seen AND with a cult following; I will be happy.
No it's not to much bc if I see Stu being that skilled with a shotgun and a knife pulling some marvel moves and shit? That's gonna be my porn forever. The edits of this mystery GF already have me feeling a certain way 😩❤️🔥😏🥵
(Give me peepaw GF I NEED IT if Michael Myers fans get a middle aged to old man to simp for so do we damn it)

ok so I had this idea that's been in my mind.......michael, danny and frank with s/o who simps over fictional characters or celebrities
not sure if you still wanted me to write this since you already requested this on another blog, but i’ll do it anyways lol
Michael Myers:
Yeah no. He’s the only person you’re supposed to like. Nobody else.
Michael doesn’t know exactly who this ‘Levi’ is, but he doesn’t like that you’re interested in him. He doesn’t care if he’s fictional. If anything, it’s stupid that you’d even take an interest in something that’s not even real. He couldn’t be with you like Michael is now. He wouldn’t be too worried about someone that doesn’t even exist, but he’s still a bit jealous. Michael doesn’t call it jealous of course. He is never jealous in his book.
Might be a bit more aggressive. He’s already on edge thinking you’ll leave him for anybody else as is. Now that you have a specific person in mind that you like? Yeah, just don’t mention them around him. One way to make him feel ‘better’ is to actually show him. Words won’t do. If he’s warmed up to your affection, give him a kiss on the forehead after he comes back from a trial. Or if you want to do something simpler, just place a hand on his shoulder when you’re walking past him or talking to him. A lot of contact isn’t something Michael is too fond of, so if you show him that you respect his boundaries and show love in little ways it makes him feel more important than the person you seemed to be interested in before.
Danny Johnson:
Honestly? Danny doesn’t care that much. I mean, the person isn’t real, so they won’t be able to take you from him or anything. He jokingly may start simping too like “God damn, can I see their ass??” He’s not worried, as long as you don’t make it known that you like them more than him. If it’s a celebrity? He’s not too worried about that either. You’re in a different realm, and it’s very unlikely that the person will be sent here. Just don’t make liking them you’re whole personality. He will get jealous and a jealous Danny is both scary and hot.
Like I said, Danny is never too worried about that stuff if they aren’t real. If you ever show too much interest in anybody else, Danny won’t have a problem showing you just how much more he can please you can simple arts of fiction.
Frank Morrison:
He has sort of mixed feelings. He doesn’t care much, but then again it’s someone that’s not him. Frank isn’t the type of person to be too possessive, but if you start talking a bit too much about the character you like, he’ll be a little grumpy. He’s not gonna be furious or anything, but he’ll doubt himself a bit and think that you’re looking for another person that has your crush’s qualities.
Might warm up to it after a while though. He know that in reality you won’t try to leave him or anything, and that the character is infact not real. He probably feels kinda stupid for feeling that way ngl LMAOO. Don’t worry though, he stops worrying if you don’t have a whole obsession over them. Like Danny he will also probably tease you about it, especially if the character you like is a monster of some kind. He just thinks it’s kinda funny but he won’t be rude or anything.

Monster - Randy Meeks x GN!Reader
yes i did make myself sad writing this... i also have another angst one planned so...
WORD COUNT: 1157
WARNINGS: angst, murder, blood/gore, betrayal, reader is working with ghostface, just sadness
You shouldn’t be doing this. The thought kept repeating in your head as you typed in his number, hesitating before hitting the call button. You could see him in his living room, half asleep with the blanket tossed over his legs. You shouldn't be doing this.
You were doing this because of Billy and Stu. You had to; to prove you were serious about this. You were serious about it but right now, watching as Randy picked up the phone, you were beginning to second guess your allegiance.
“Hello?” He asks, his voice thick with sleep. You take a deep breath and begin, making sure the voice modifier is on.
“Hello.” Randy waits for you to continue, sitting up on the couch fully now. “Who is this?”
“Uhm, you called me, man. Think you might have the wrong number.” Randy hangs up on you, laying back down on the couch. You call back. Your heart was beating fast and you were starting to feel sick to your stomach. “Hello?”
“Sorry, I must have dialed the wrong number.” Randy laughs and you want to throw up. You loved his laugh. You can’t count the times you’ve sat on that very couch with him, curled into his side, laughing along with him.
“It’s all good. You didn’t need to call back.”
“I just wanted to apologize.” You reply, taking a few steps closer to his back door. You can practically hear him roll his eyes. “Say, what’s that playing in the background? Sounds familiar.”
You watch as he grins and sits up, pausing the tv. “Halloween. You’ve seen it before?”
You hum in agreement. “Sure have. That’s the one with Michael Myers, right? The one who hunts down babysitters?”
“Sure is! Jamie Lee Curtis is god sent. So, what’d you say your name is again?” He questions, the excitement leaking from his voice. He had no idea what was going to happen and it made you feel worse than bad. It made you feel awful.
“You tell me yours first.”
“Randy. You go to Woodsboro high? Hey, we could meet up and watch a movie together or something! I could bring my partner.” Your eyes close at the mention of you. Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Randy just wanted a friend, one he could bring around you and show off his knowledge of movies, one he could relax with. He trusted you already.
“You shouldn't trust people so easily, Randy. Hey, what’s your favorite scary movie?” You ask, moving closer to his door once more. The costume was hot and you weren’t sure if you were sweating purely from that or from how god damn nervous you were.
Billy and Stu were parked down the road, waiting for you to complete your job. If you didn’t, you were dead. If you did, Randy was dead. “That’s a tough one. Halloween is an iconic movie, you know, but I also love Texas Chainsaw Massacre. What about you, what’s your favorite?” He was standing now, pacing the living room, the phone tucked under his ear. He was smiling.
“Not sure you’ve heard of it.”
“Try me!”
“It’s the one where the guy home alone gets a call from a stranger and realizes too late the stranger is there.” He stops in his tracks and you watch from the shadows as he looks around his living room. He swallows hard and gives a shaky laugh, going up to the glass door and locking it.
“I don’t think I’ve heard of that one. What’s the name?”
You take a deep breath, preparing yourself for what you’re about to do. “It’s called reality, Randy.” You grab one of the rocks that had been next to you and throw it, shattering the glass door. Randy yells, dropping the phone in surprise, and you run inside.
“What the fuck!” He yells, turning around and running from you. You chase him around the house, sidestepping the things he tried to throw in your way. He was scared. He gets a good few hits on you but the chase ends inside his bedroom. His window was stuck shut and you had just broken the door down. “What… who are you?”
He sounds close to tears and he keeps backing away from you. Your knife was still hidden in your pocket and you slipped it out now. He sees the blade and whimpers, moving away from you until his back hits the wall. You close the gap and close your eyes, sending the knife into his chest.
He howls in pain, pushing at you but you come back, stabbing him again and again and again. He’s slumped over on the floor now, covered in blood, begging for you to stop. And you do. You squat in front of him, his blood soaking into the robes of your costume, and you fight back the urge to throw up. His breathing was labored, blood pooling out of his mouth, and he looked… defeated.
You don’t register his hand as he lifts it until your mask is off. His eyes widened. “Y/N? You… why? Why did you? I thought you loved me? I loved you, what did I do?” He stammers, the mask dropping from his fingers. He was crying now, choking on his own blood, and all you could do was watch. What could you tell him? That you killed him because you were working with Billy and Stu? That you loved him but you had to do this? “I’m sorry. I don’t… why? Don’t understand.” He was sobbing, his hands grasping at your costume, his eyes searching your face for an answer you didn’t have.
“I’m so sorry, Randy. I love you. Fuck, I’m sorry,” You whisper, tears flowing down your face freely. He says nothing but he grabs at you, pulling you in closer to him. He was trying to say something but all you could hear was the gargle of blood in his throat, the way he was fighting for air. And then his hands fall limp. His head rolls to the side, his eyes open and staring at you.
You leave. You make sure nothing could be traced back to you and you go back to where Billy and Stu were waiting. They congratulate you, welcome you to the team, and drive off. You sit in the backseat, stomach swirling as you remember the look on his face when he saw you. The love of his life, the person he shared all of his firsts with, was killing him.
That was the last day you were truly yourself again. People thought it was because your boyfriend, the nerdy horror movie fanatic, was dead. And it was, but not for the reason they thought. You could never forgive yourself. You had killed him. You plunged the knife into his chest over and over again even after he begged you to stop, even after he was choking on his own blood.
You were a monster.

Halloween with the Akatsuki
Konan
Dress-up isn’t really for her, and neither is going out to join in any festivities. She prefers to go the homemade treats and scary movie route, staying either by herself or with her fellow Akatsuki members who think the same way. She’s the one who will decorate the house (often with Tobi’s help) with orange and purple lights, hanging ghosts and witches, and an entirely too-real-looking scarecrow. Might decide to wear some spooky-printed pajamas and/or a matching robe. Also makes herself of use to anyone who’s dressing up and needs help applying face paint or makeup. She also stays up the latest to ensure that those who do go out make it home safe and sound, although she doesn’t tell anyone that this is why she’s still awake.
Deidara and Hidan:
Normally these two don’t get along (to put it mildly) and avoid each other like the plague. However, on Halloween, it’s a different story. These two are the youngest in the Akatsuki and therefore much more into the “holiday spirit” than the others. They’ll help each other with costumes (Hidan figures that his normal getup/ritual black and white paint is scary enough, and Deidara will dress as a literal “bang”; bright, flashy clothing ((definitely with a cape)) with small handmade explosives set to go off at regular intervals). Deidara will likely be made to take Tobi trick or treating during the early hours of the evening, and Hidan will tag along; not because he likes candy but because he figures the sugar will give him a needed boost of energy for the rest of the evening. Once Deidara finishes with Tobi, he and Hidan will set out for some greater fun. Haunted houses are their favorite; they can separate themselves from the crowd and hide within the exhibits, to scare the bejesus out of everyone else. Deidara can throw as many bombs as he wants ((and at point-blank range)), and Hidan can lure countless unsuspecting sacrifices people into the darkness; and the best part of it? Everyone thinks it’s just part of the show. It’s only when the others realize that the “fake blood” and “fake dead bodies” aren’t so fake that they decide to dip out. Likely to end the night sneaking Kakuzu’s sake from his room, getting completely shit-faced, eating ALL of Tobi’s candy (which he’ll cry about to no end in the morning), then passing out face-down on the floor. Will have to be dragged to their own rooms by Sasori and Kakuzu, and in the morning Kakuzu will be as loud as humanly possible to punish the two hungover idiots for stealing his alcohol.
Tobi
A holiday whose sole purpose is to get as much free candy as possible? Sign. Him. The FUCK. Up. He doesn’t really bother with much of a costume (after all he’s already wearing a mask that greatly resembles a lollipop) but might adorn it with a set of cat ears and tail. He’ll beg his senpai to take him trick or treating (which will be refused at first because “You’re a grown man for fuck’s sake, hm!”, but then Pein and Konan will use some “gentle persuasion” on the blonde until Tobi’s wish is granted). He’s thorough with it; he’s had Zetsu infiltrate houses for weeks beforehand to find out who has what candy, so he knows the best route to take. When he’s done (or rather when Deidara’s patience has run out) he’ll go back to the hideout and start eating his hard-earned treats. But not too much; because Konan is also making pumpkin and ghost shaped cookies and green-dyed hot chocolate. Will end the night watching scary movies (during which he’ll hide behind a pillow) with Konan and Kakuzu (Kakuzu insists the movies are boring but for some reason he has yet to leave the room). Sometimes accidentally slips into Obito voice when talking about how much he “gets” Michael Myers. 9/10 will fall asleep and be covered with a blanket to stay on the couch. Also 9/10 will wake up to find his candy gone because of senpai and the jerk Hidan, and will sob about it until Deidara caves and goes out and buys him several bagfuls of (now conveniently discounted) Halloween candy.
Kakuzu
Likes to answer the door for trick or treaters, but instead of candy he’ll give out what he feels is “more helpful”. Like, pamphlets on how to start a 401k, or advice on what stocks are a good investment, or tips how to save the most when shopping at the grocery store. Most children are unappreciative of the old grouch’s “treats”, however, and the Akatsuki house always ends up heavily egged and TP’d. But hey ... that means free eggs ((the ones that aren’t too damaged, anyway)) and free toilet paper: win-win. When not answering the door, he joins some of the others in their “scary” movie fest. Not because he thinks the flicks are in anyway scary ((to him they seem more like comedies)) but he likes to analyze the actions of the main characters to see how and where they went wrong; good practice for future missions.
Pein
Thinks the “holiday” is utterly pointless, but gives his blessing for the others to indulge in in however they see fit.
Zetsu
This is the night of the year that Zetsu brings in the most revenue to the Akatsuki. He scopes out what places are having costume contests with cash prizes, and he enters, and literally always wins first place. Nobody can figure out how he “made” a costume so wonderfully realistic, with the unique dual skin-tone and the lush foliage. This is also a good time for him to indulge in sweet treats ... and NOT the candy kind. Lots of dumb teenagers like to wander out to the woods and have Halloween parties; their exuberance and intoxication lets them see Zetsu as just another guy with an awesome get-up. Getting one or two or ten of them away from the group is child’s play, and devouring them? Easier than taking candy from a Tobi. Sometimes will take a severed hand or foot and enter ANOTHER contest as a carnivorous Venus fly trap.
Itachi and Kisame
Neither of these two like to go out, so they spend time at the house together. Kisame goes out the day before and raids a pumpkin patch, and the two spend a good part of Halloween evening expressing their “artistic” sides on different jack-o-lanterns ((which will be mercilessly criticized by Deidara)). Kisame’s masterpiece is Samehada at his strongest and Itachi’s is the portrait of who he SAYS is himself as a younger man ((but is clearly that little brother of his)). Kisame is not a fan of candy, but Itachi is, so Tobi will bring him a large handful of his own to share. They will abandon their customary tea and biscuits for warm apple cider and whatever confectionary delight Konan is making. Might also join the others for scary movies at some point. Most Halloween’s end up with Deidara and Hidan coming back to the house very late, drinking too much, and falling asleep. This might be the ONLY time Itachi ever initiates an act of aggression against them, as he takes advantage of their out-of-it states to put each of their hands in a cup of warm water ((a trick he learned from Hidan himself)) and letting nature (and overfilled bladders) take its course. Kisame sees him doing this and laughs himself sick; it always amuses him when he sees his partner drop his ultra-serious nature and let loose like a normal young person.
Sasori
It’s always been said of Halloween for sweet-consumers to be aware of what they’re eating, as many unscrupulous people out there can hide poison in the candy. Sasori is that person who parents warn their kids about. However, Sasori doesn’t direct his malice towards children; rather, adults. He concocts a variety of poisons, sleeping agents and other horrors, laces candy or apples with it, and has his secret subordinates in other villages pass them out to pre-selected individuals ((usually people that the redhead has some sort of grudge against)). Sasori keeps careful track of his lab rats by sending small, drone-like puppets out to observe them, and record their reactions from time of consumption to whatever end comes for them. This research greatly helps him in terms of future poison preparations. If particularly bored, he’ll dress up some of his larger puppets in terrifying attire, and send them out in the darkness to stalk and frighten the life out of young trick-or-treaters. He’s likely to join some of the others who watch movies, or, if he’s in time to catch Deidara after the blonde passes out from his night of fun, he’ll take a marker and write “Art is Eternal” across his face ... in multiple languages.

Spooky unpredictableness
31 Days of Spooktober
Day 4/31
Cassian fully believed his girlfriend was a demon.
Not in the bad sense of the thing, even though whenever he told her that she would reply by saying that there wasn’t a good sense in that. No, Cassian just believed that Nesta could not be human. There was a series of reasons to that, but the biggest one was that his girlfriend couldn’t be scared.
Haunted houses, horror movies, pranks, jump scares… Nothing drew more than a simple frown from Nesta. Cassian just knew that she could walk into Hell itself and probably scare the Devil before being scared by him.
And so obviously, Cassian spent the whole month of October trying to scare her.
He didn’t do it as much during the rest of the year, but there was something about Halloween season that just made him insanely tempted to giive Ness a good fright. She wasn’t like Feyre who hated scary pranks, or like Elain who would scream and laugh seconds later. Nests didn’t react, and so she didn’t particularly care if Cassian tried to scare her or not.
“I’ll get you this year.” Cassian said, eyes narrowed as he stared at Nesta.
She only smiled sarcastically over her coffee mug, reading the news on her phone. “You couldn’t make me gasp from surprise even if your life depended on it, sweetheart.”
Cassian jaw fell slightly, and he crossed his arms over his chest. “I’m sorry?”
Nesta raised her icy grey-blue eyes to him, a light-brown eyebrow raised. “We know each other for seven years. We date for four. Tell me one time you got a reaction like that from scaring or surprising me. Let’s be honest, Cass, I can’t be scared and you have become predictable. It’s ok, it’s how our relationship works.”
“I will surprise you.”
“Uh-huh.” Nesta murmured, going back to her coffee and news.
“I mean it.”
“Of course you do.” Nesta’s ironic smile only grew. “Why don’t you go to Halloween spirit buy a Michael Myers mask? You can try catching me when I’m getting out of the bathroom. No, wait, this is not very original. Haven’t you done this already too? Like three times.”
Cassian huffed, getting up from the table. “You’ll see, Nesta Archeron.”
“Want to bet?”
He, stupidly and recklessly, assented. “Yes, I actually do.”
“Very well, name your conditions.” Nesta’s face was probably hurting from her smile.
“If I make you obviously surprised, and I mean even a gasp, I win. If by the end of the month this doesn’t happen, you win. The winner can ask anything and the loser has to say yes.”
Nesta raised her eyebrows, low laughs coming out of her. “Oh, I’m in. You’re so fucked.”
He walked out of the kitchen, Nesta’s laughs following him until he closed the bedroom’s door.
He would never admit it to anyone, especially to Nesta, but she was somewhat right. It’s not that Cassian had never tried to surprise her, but Nesta was always one step ahead, always noticing stuff he thought he had hidden well. She knew him way too well, and getting anything that would be actually surprising to her was near impossible.
And then there was the fact that Nesta couldn’t be scared. It wasn’t something solely based on Cassian, but just in general. Both Feyre and Elain would always tell the rest of their friend group that Nesta was never scared, especially during Halloween when she knew things were fake. She had been a serious kid, and nothing, absolutely nothing, would even force a surprised gasp out of her.
He was dating a goddamn evil genius, and he would need to step up his game a lot if he wished ti get Nesta to at least widen her eyes.
And so Cassian paced his room all throughout breakfast time. He mentally annotated some ideas for actual scares, but nothing that he truly believed that would make Ness surprised. After thirty minutes of nothing, he sighed, throwing himself on their bed.
At least he hadn’t bet with her.
Oh, wait.
—————
Nesta adored Halloween.
People usually believed that because of her serious demeanor, she was the type of person to hate the holiday, but to be honest, since she was a kid Nesta had loved Halloween time. She liked the autumn aesthetic, the elaborated decorations, the horror movie marathons. She loved the candy sales and how everyone was minding their own fucking business and not shoving their noses of hers.
Above all, Nesta adored Halloween because it never scared her.
Since she was little she would watch slasher movies and while her sisters squirmed and screamed, she was intently watching the story. Haunted houses in amusement parks were fun because of other people’s reactions, because they also always failed to make her jumpy. Spooky prank wars with her sisters was easy because they could never scare her, but were easily scared by her.
In short, Halloween was Nesta’s holiday and she made sure to enjoy every single second of October.
It also didn’t hurt how hilarious she found her boyfriend trying to scare her every year. At this point, he had already tried everything from masks to fake insects, jump scares to fake blood. He would even sometimes run out of ideas and repeat the same prank as if she would have magically grown terrified of plastic spiders. She found his dedication both cute and funny, but also effortless. She had gone twenty four years without falling for these pranks, and it was very unlikely that things would change now.
Sometimes she thought about asking Cassian to stop doing them. It was a waste of his money, but he seemed to enjoy them so much that Nesta just couldn’t bring herself to burst his bubble. There was also a very smug part of her that thrived on always winning their unspoken Halloween matches, but she’d never say this out loud if only to maintain her cold and detached nature about these childish pranks.
All those factors together were what made her, in the following morning, taste her sugar before pouring it into her coffee.
She turned to Cassian who was sitting at the table and intently not looking at her. “Really, Cassian? Salt instead of sugar? Not even my dad would fall for that one.”
Cassian scolded, but refused to look at her. Nesta simply smiled and laughed smugly, looking around the cabinets for what was labeled salt but was actually sugar.
“You got it on a Buzzfeed article, didn’t you? I told you those things will fry your brain and it’s not like you have neurons to spare.”
His head whipped in her direction, eyes narrowed and defiant. “I will surprise you, Nesta Archeron. You’re in for a fucking ride if you think not.”
Nesta smiled coyly, letting her coffee mug on the counter as she slowly walked to Cassian. “Really?”
“Yes.” His jaw was tight, but there was something about his expression that was slightly off, that was slightly different.
Ignoring the fact that she was probably being paranoid, Nesta laughed, sitting on Cassian’s lap and putting her arms around his shoulders. He was stiff under her, something that only made her laugh once more. “Cass, our relationship is not based on surprises. As much as it pains me to say, since the beginning you understood most of me, and I understood most of you. And that was a long time ago. There isn’t any aces to play, no rabbit inside the hat. Our relationship is transparent and it’s good that it’s this way.”
“You can still surprise me.” He grumbled.
“You are easily impressionable.”
“Fuck off.” Cassian’s brood broke, and he let out a huffed chuckle. “This has not convinced me to stop, just so you know.”
Nesta jumped off his lap, smirking as she went back to grab her coffee. “I never hoped it would.”
——————
It was October 31th finally.
As much as Nesta still believed she couldn’t be surprised, Cassian sure as hell was trying. Worst was, he wasn’t trying hard, he was just trying a lot.
In the past year the pranks were elaborate and hard to build, but this time they were… classics.
Fake bugs inside your drawers, mayo instead of toothpaste, garlic inside the Oreos. The type of shit that would make you want to throw the thing away, but not really the type of stuff to frighten you. He did buy some masks and put them in random places of the house to scare her, which obviously didn’t happen. He tried to get her scared by doing jump scares after they watched a horror movie, by turning on and off the lights whenever she was alone in a room. He tried the whole mirror thing that, whenever the bathroom was too hot, the words “help” would show up in it.
It was funny and he obviously thought about it, but there was something missing. There was something that was essentially Cassian not being put into those pranks. It’s like he was actually getting his ideas from Buzzfeed, and he would definitely know that none of those things would actually surprise her.
To be honest, she was somewhat disappointed. Nesta would never say it out loud, but she liked the pranks. It was a part of her relationship with Cassian since they started dating— before even— and this year it had been… boring, predictable.
Exactly what she had said it would be.
As she padded to the kitchen on Halloween morning, Nesta wondered if Cassian was doing it on purpose because of what she had said. Wondered if he had made it purposefully predictable to make her regret her own words.
She stopped in front of the fridge, shaking her head. This wasn’t Cassian’s style, no. If he was pissed about what she had said, he would have talked to her. The one in the relationship that usually brooded and was middle vindictive was her. A lot less than she was in the beginning of the relationship, and something she was constantly working on. It wasn’t that she was a mean person, but Nesta had learned to bottle her emotions so much, had learned to treat everyone so coldly as a defense mechanism, that sometimes she would panic and those would be her initial reactions.
It was a slow process— becoming more and more the person she wished to be. A lot of it had been done because of the amazing support she had from Cassian and from her sisters, but Nesta was also proud to recognize that a lot had to do with only herself.
No, Cassian wouldn’t be cruel and do something like that. Nesta knew this because, during the years that she took to overcome her trauma and get to know herself more, she had also gotten to know Cassian more. And he was never cruel, never mean.
Nesta shook her head, clearing her head of thoughts as she opened the fridge.
She could only stare at the jar in front of her, torn between sighing or laughing. She grabbed it, turning around to look at Cassian who had just entered the kitchen. “Really, Cass?”
Cassian huffed, spreading his arms. “Not even a gasp?!”
Nesta chuckled, setting the jar down on the counter. It was big and filled with a green liquid. What was supposed to be scary was the head inside that looked a lot like Rhysand’s. “Bold of you to assume I wouldn’t be happy if this was actually Rhys’s head.”
Cassian laughed, shaking his head. “You’ve got to let the grudge go.”
“I have!” Nesta deadpanned, examining the jar. “Most of the times, at least.”
“Well, looks like I failed.” Cassian said, and Nesta raised an eyebrow at his tone. He didn’t sound defeated, he sounded smug.
“Yes, you did.” Nesta announced, eyes narrowing at Cassian. “What the fuck are you smug about?”
His smile widened. “Nothing.”
“Fuck off, Cassian. If you honestly think I’ll let you surprise me on the last day, you’re mistaken.” Nesta rolled her eyes, turning back to the fridge to grab some grapes. “If you honestly think I’ll—“
And right there, for the first time in her entire life, Nesta found herself absolutely shocked when she turned around. A loud gasp left her mouth, the grapes she’d been holding falling to the ground and rolling all the way to where Cassian was kneeling, a complacent grin on his lips. He was holding a small black box, a simple silver band with small black diamonds on it.
“Well, well, well, Nesta Archeron. If that gasp wasn’t like fucking music to my ears.”
She placed a hand over her mouth, eyes wide. “Cassian…”
“If I remember our bet correctly, which I do,” he winked at her, holding the velvet black box higher. “I believe I had the right to anything I want and you have to say yes.”
Nesta let out an incredulous laugh, her head shaking. “I should have guessed that your shitty pranks weren’t because you were tired.”
Cassian threw his head back and laughed. “No, they weren’t. I thought that by making your expectations for pranks this year be lower, this whole thing would be more surprising.”
“Are you proposing to me only to win a bet, you asshole?”
Cassian grinned again, hazel eyes shining against his brown skin. “No, but you need to admit it has come in handy. I had been planning this for weeks, and then you asked if I wanted to bet I could surprise you. Honestly, you set yourself up to this. And I haven’t proposed yet, chill a little, woman.”
Nesta laughed again, eyeing Cassian. He was still wearing only the shorts he wore to bed, his shoulder-length hair a mess of curls. His face still looked slightly puffy, his usual sharp cheekbones red from happiness. Nesta guessed she wasn’t much better; she was wearing one of his white shirts, light brown hair falling down to her shoulders.
“So, are you going to ask or not? I don’t have all day.”
“So bossy, what am I getting myself into?” Cassian said ironically, but soon his face softened, smile becoming loving. “Nesta Archeron, even though you don’t have another option that it’s not a yes, would you give me the pleasure of marrying me so I can spend the rest of my Halloweens trying to scare you?”
Nesta chuckled merrily, nodding. “Yes, and even if I wasn’t forced to say yes because of this bet, I would have said it nonetheless.”
Cassian got up, immediately sliding the ring into Nesta’s finger, his other hand sneaking around her waist. He pulled her against him, a huge smile overtaking his mouth as he pressed his lips to hers. “I know you would. You’re not that unpredictable either, sweetheart.”

Julie’s incredibly aesthetic incredibly autumny list of movies that she maybe recommends:
Alright! Hi there!
My name is Julie, and I really love fall. I love hot tea, warm blankets, candles, ghost stories, fog and I really, really love rain. I never get tired of any of the aspects of fall, but I think the easiest way to really soak up the atmosphere (aside from amazing books, which I don’t really have the time for), is movies! Here, “autumny” movies.
But that’s a really vague term, and I think many people have a very individual idea of what a fall movie is, that don’t really line up with mine. So the most obvious thing seems to me, to make one myself.
I’m guessing one, maybe two or three people will see this, and I count myself as one of them. The others (hej Sif og Malin!!) might not even get to read this, but if they do, I hope they like it. I hope you like it, Malin and Sif! Also, I love you! And miss you!
Right. I’ve seen a lot of examples of the “list of movies to watch in the fall/autumn”, and they’re all fine and great, but I guess I’ve never been completely satisfied with them, as I mentioned.
So after like 10 minutes of research, I’ve made up my own list, of movies I thought seemed interesting or just plain cozy and nice. I admit, they aren’t ranked, sorry, and I haven’t watched all of them, so a good deal of these will really just be mentioned because of optimism. Also, I don’t think there’s a lot of scary ones, so don't worry.
And I promise I will mention if they’re very spooky. I’ll put a warning like: “Warning! Spooky!”, at the top or something. That should do it.
Lets get started! :-)
1. Practical Magic
This first one I actually saw some years ago, with my mom, when I was much younger. I liked it, but I have a feeling I will like it even more, if I watch it today. A really classic halloween, witchy movie, that was surprisingly touching in the family aspect!
Official synopsis:
Two witch sisters, raised by their eccentric aunts in a small town, face closed-minded prejudice and a curse which threatens to prevent them ever finding lasting love.
//Not very spooky, as I remember it. But good! Lovely witchy aesthetics!
2. Silence of the Lamps
Ugh, I love this movie! That might be a not so good thing to say, it’s really twisted. But I like how creepy it always is, no matter how much i watch it, and how the twists and turns never fail to be interesting, even though I know the plot by heart now. I love Clarisse, I love the foggy, grim nature of the movie, and I don’t really love Hannibal, he’s creepy, but you can’t deny that Anthony Hopkins really carry this movie! Perfect serial killer acting. If that’s a thing.
Official Synopsis:
A young F.B.I. cadet must receive the help of an incarcerated and manipulative cannibal killer to help catch another serial killer, a madman who skins his victims.
//VERY spooky! Or just plain scary. Sif - do not watch!! Many people are killed in many, gross ways.
3. Witch
Haven’t seen this one! I really want to, and have since it came out, but there haven’t really been any (legal) places to see it. I love the tension that was present even in the trailer, and the whole aspect of an oppressed young girl evolving and breaking free in the scariest way possible is really interesting. Not all horror movies are my thing, but I really hope this one will be! And I love everything about witches, so.
Official synopsis:
A family in 1630s New England is torn apart by the forces of witchcraft, black magic, and possession.
//Warning! Just from the trailer, I can conclude that this one is very scary.
4. Julie and Julia
This one I haven’t actually seen either! I think I’ve spotted among my mom’s dvds, but nope, haven’t seen it. I don’t really know a lot about Julia Child either, but it seems like a super-heartwarming film, so I hurried to include it!
Official Synopsis:
Julia Child's story of her start in the cooking profession is intertwined with blogger Julie Powell's 2002 challenge to cook all the recipes in Child's first book.
//This one seems safe.
5. The Addams Family (Both of them are good!)
This one, the “first” one, I saw last year. It’s actually a remake of an older movie, which is apparently based on an even older comic -who knew? And there’s a second one, following this one, I might add later. But tt was so good! Gah! I loved it, and I’m definitely rewatching this year. Wow the whole vibe of this family is fantastic, and I wish more families in movies were as dedicated to an aesthetic as the Addams! Watch it! It’s so nice!
Official Synopsis:
Con artists plan to fleece an eccentric family using an accomplice who claims to be their long-lost uncle.
//I know it seems scary, but trust me, it’s fine! It’s really more funny than spooky. You’ll enjoy it, trust me!
6. Hocus Pocus
Alright, never seen this one! But when I joined tumblr, the americans were always bringing this one up, and it’s always included in those lists I was talking about earlier, and again, witches, so a no-brainer for me, to include on this list. Man I can’t wait to see it, I hope I’ll like it.
Official Synopsis:
A curious youngster moves to Salem, where he struggles to fit in before awakening a trio of diabolical witches that were executed in the 17th century.
//I have no idea what the spooky-level is in this, but it doesn’t seem that bad.
7. Halloween (the original)
I have wanted to see this in FOREVER! It’s such a classic, and a really iconic, classic, older horror movie. I don’t actually know why I haven’t seen it yet, it might only be because there was no place to watch it, the last time I checked. I hope it has changed, I really want to see it. It has all the classic tropes, and a scary serial killer, it really is a peak-halloween movie. Spot-on name, huh!
Official Synopsis:
Fifteen years after murdering his sister on Halloween night 1963, Michael Myers escapes from a mental hospital and returns to the small town of Haddonfield, Illinois to kill again.
//Might be a bit too scary for some.
8. The Princess Bride
This is so good!! All the characters are straight of a fairy tale (literally), but they’re neither flat or boring. And the love story! Ah! I loooove it! I really enjoyed it last year, when I watched it, so I understand why it’s become such a classic. And there’s so many iconic lines in this movie. The whole mood of it is such good, and the plot isn’t the craziest thing, so watch it to relax!
Official Synopsis:
While home sick in bed, a young boy's grandfather reads him the story of a farmboy-turned-pirate who encounters numerous obstacles, enemies and allies in his quest to be reunited with his true love.
//Not scary, fret not!
9. The Craft
Have never seen or heard about this movie, until the morning, when I compiled this list. I kind of want to though, now that I’m promised 90′s teenage witches. Hell yeah! The more witches the merrier!
Official Synopsis:
A newcomer to a Catholic prep high school falls in with a trio of outcast teenage girls who practice witchcraft, and they all soon conjure up various spells and curses against those who anger them.
//No idea how spooky. Might be a little scary.
10. Sleepy Hollow (the one with Johnny Depp)
The legend of the Headless Horseman is famous, so that one I know. But this movie, which is based on that story, I haven’t seen. I can guess, though, the vibe from it’s original source material, and Johnny Depp and the male lead, and that makes me want to watch it! Also, how can you not, when you see all that fog?? So spooky and mysterious! I love fog!
Official Synopsis:
Ichabod Crane is sent to Sleepy Hollow to investigate the decapitations of three people, with the culprit being the legendary apparition, The Headless Horseman.
//Might be, like, ghost story-spooky. Or Tim Burton-spooky. Either of those. Hm. I don’t think it’s that bad?
11. Scream
I LOVE SCREAM. SUCH AN ICONIC HORROR MOVIE. THANK YOU FOR USING ALL THOSE CLASSIC TROPES!! I love everything about this movie, and I might actually put it on when I’m done with this post, and watch it with a cup of tea and some popcorn if I can find some. The characters are delightfully flat and simple, what you see is what you get, and that actually makes this movie even better! It really feels like you’re watching THE halloween movie, it’s delightfully creepy and spooky, and I love it all. So. Much. Also - the lovely 90′s aesthetic is very much present in this one!
Official Synopsis:
A year after the murder of her mother, a teenage girl is terrorized by a new killer, who targets the girl and her friends by using horror films as part of a deadly game.
//Spooky! If serial killers are not you thing, don’t watch it. Not that it’s my thing either, but, uh, if watching characters be chased and killed off by a masked individual really freaks you out, stay clear of this one :-)
12. Dark Shadows
Love this movie. Watched it in the cinema, have it on DVD, have watched it numerous times since, and I always enjoy it. Another Depp-movie, and he really pulls it off in this one, as a creepy but also weirdly funny vampire, who has lost his one true love, and wakes up in the 70′s (i think), to help his relatives, now living in his ancestral home, with getting back on their feet. A lot of wild stuff happens in this movie, and I adore it.
Official Synopsis:
An imprisoned vampire, Barnabas Collins, is set free and returns to his ancestral home, where his dysfunctional descendants are in need of his protection.
//Actually not that spooky! It’s not that bad, I think. Some places are a little scary, but there’s enough of humor present, that it should be fine!
13. Eve’s Bayou
I had never heard of this movie until this morning! But wow! It looks so dramatic and promising, doesn’t it? We will just have to see, I guess!
Official Synopsis:
What did little Eve see--and how will it haunt her? Husband, father and womanizer Louis Batiste is the head of an affluent family, but it's the women who rule this gothic world of secrets, lies and mystic forces.
//I have no idea. Really. I hope it’s a little bit spooky!
14. Clue
I have just played the game, sorry. And I enjoyed that, so I hope I will enjoy this too! No, I know I will, I love these stories, with really defined characters, like when someone is named “the soldier”, or “the socialite”. I’m sold, when stories like that are introduced to me. I really want to watch this movie! Also - young Tim Curry! Cool!
Official Synopsis:
Six guests are anonymously invited to a strange mansion for dinner, but after their host is killed, they must cooperate with the staff to identify the murderer as the bodies pile up.
//Nah. You’re good, with this one. Don’t worry.
15. Every Agatha Christie Movie
Yeah, sorry I want to watch every single film adaptation of her stories, and love them dearly. None of them can be bad, to me. But the only one I have watched, is the “Murder of the Orient Express”, and if I have to describe how much i love this one, this list will go on for much too long. I just really love this movie. I love the characters, I love the scenography, I love the choreography, just - Everything! It’s so pretty, and you will NEVER figure out the ending! I didn’t, at least. Watch it! It’s so good!
Official Synopsis:
When a murder occurs on the train on which he's travelling, celebrated detective Hercule Poirot is recruited to solve the case.
//Don’t worry about spookyness - there’s none! But watch it!
16. Twilight
Perfect Autumn vibes! There is darkness, fog, rain, coldness, weird pale vampires, a nice love story - and most of it is out in a forest! Amazing! This whole movie seems to consist of only blue and green tones, in varying degrees of darkness, and I always sit with the feeling, that i can almost smell the rain and damp earth in these scenes. Great movie! Even greater use of atmosphere!
Official Synopsis:
Bella Swan moves to Forks and encounters Edward Cullen, a gorgeous boy with a secret.
//Not spooky!
17. Knives Out
Saw this in the cinema with my brother! I really love the main characters, and the plot is great too - I couldn't figure it out at all! I think it is a very creative, “new! approach to a murder mystery, and I applaud! Very autumny, very great sweaters from the female lead! Actually most of them have nice clothes, for this crisp, cold mystery movie!
Official Synopsis:
A detective investigates the death of a patriarch of an eccentric, combative family.
//Not very spooky! Don’t worry!
18. 10 Things I Hate About You
I watched this when i was like, 12, and definitely didn’t appreciate it. I think it based on Shakespeare’s “The Taming of the Shrew”. It’s one the best Rom-Coms I’ve ever seen! The dialogue is funny, the acting is fine, and the love stories are very cute! Also, I just adore Kate, like, in general! She’s so sour and surly! Watch this one, when you want to unwind and relax! Maybe with your friends. Or alone, that’s cool too!
Official Synopsis:
A pretty, popular teenager can't go out on a date until her ill-tempered older sister does.
//Not spooky, lol.
19. Mona Lisa Smile
I haven’t seen this one, except for the very last few minutes, on evening when my mom and I was zapping channels. So I have very little, very confusing knowledge of this movie, based on an ending, with no context. But my friend told me about it once, and wow, it sounds heartwarming! And Julia Roberts is pretty great, normally!
Official Synopsis:
A free-thinking art professor teaches conservative 1950s Wellesley girls to question their traditional social roles.

Title: Masked ID
Ship: Veronica Lodge + Sweet Pea (Sweet Vee)
_______________
Sweet Pea loved Halloween.
As a kid, it was the only holiday he ever was looking forward to. He loved to scare Toni and other Serpents with creepy masks, fake knives and red syrup.
One time, Fangs almost peed his pants. It was hilarious.
Needless to say, when Veronica announced him that they'd be having a Halloween party at La Bonne Nuit, he was thrilled.
For the past two weeks, Veronica and him had worked on the decors, making plans and ordering online a bunch of accessories and props that would transform the beauty of the old age casino into an epic spooky dream.
''Don't go too gore with the decors, mi amor. We don't want to scare the clients away,'' Veronica reminded him, seeing him eyeing a headless prop on the computer screen.
Sweet Pea rolled his eyes. ''Halloween is supposed to be scary, Veronica,'' he countered, scrolling down the page and stealing Veronica's laptop from the bed to type something. ''We need a smoke machine. Can we have that?''
The raven haired girl hesitated, not quite getting her boyfriend's ideas. ''Eh, I guess...''
''Yes!'' Sweet Pea exclaimed, pumping his fist excitedly.
She chuckled, looking at him with fond eyes. It was so rare of him to get this excited over events - or anything, really -, it was cute.
Almost as cute as the time he had stayed behind to help her clean up at La Bonne Nuit. There had been some misunderstandings between a Serpent and a Bulldog a couple months ago and, as expected, a punch had been thrown and resulted into a fight. Reggie had been quick to break it up with the help of Sweet Pea, but there was some damages made. Broken glass, blood stains and else. After everyone had left, the raven haired girl had been surprised to see that Sweet Pea was still there, a broomstick in hand, sweeping glass shards from the floor.
That night was also the same night she had invited him over at the Pembrooke - for drinks, she said. Needless to say, not much drinks were drank that night, but a lot of sultry kisses were exchanged as they fell on Veronica's bed.
Smiling at the memory, Veronica put her head on his shoulder as he searched online, the soft burnt red flannel rubbing against her cheek.
''Do you have a costume in mind for Halloween?'' Sweet Pea asked. ''PLease tell me it's not some sexy animal or I'll vomit on your expensive carpet.''
She scrunched her nose. ''My costume is picked. And, don't worry. I'm not think kind of girl, but I'm offended you thought so of me. I'm a Lodge, I have class.''
A low laugh rumbled from Sweet Pea's stomach as he shook his head. ''What is it?''
''It's a secret,'' Veronica proudly informed. ''I think you'll like it.''
Her lips twisted into a confident, malicious smile and Sweet Pea grinned, leaning down to kiss her.
''Consider me intrigued.''
.
Dressed in her mini dress and feathery black wings, Veronica stood in the middle of La Bonne Nuit, admiring the spooky makeover she and Sweet Pea had given to the place. It was almost unrecognizable under all those spiderwebs, decors and props. She was very proud of their work.
Who knew Sweet Pea was great at decorating?
The stage had been turned into a jail cell with creepy props and strobe lights, the bar was covered in spiderwebs and all glasses had been replaced by halloween themed ones to go with the ambiance.
She had just finished writing down the special menu of the night on the blackboard when her phone screen lit up across the bar. Veronica put her chalk down and went to grab her phone when the lights flickered in the basement, making her frown.
Must be a power overload from all the lights and decors, she assumed. The place is old.
She reached for the device and read the screen: Masked ID. Her frown deepened. Who could this be? Her father? Prisons have masked numbers, right? Why would he call her though?
''Hello?'' she answered, curiosity and confusion in her tone.
No response.
''Hello?'' she repeated.
Still no response.
With a sigh, Veronica hung up, thinking it was some prank à la Scream - kids do that these days - when someone grabbed her from behind, causing her to let out a high pitched scream, her phone dropping on the floor.
Pop was upstairs, running the diner and Veronica was hoping he'd hear her and come down. Being a pacifist, Pop probably wouldn't fight her attacker from lack of defense knowledge, but he could call the cops.
Before Veronica could scream out for help again, any sound she thought of making was muffled by her attackers hand as he held her firmly against his chest.
A red light flashed in the young Lodge's mind, refusing to let whoever was attacking her go without a fight.
Since getting exposed to her father's mobster life, Veronica had learned how to defend and protect herself from possible harm.
She still didn't know how to fire a gun like her mom, but Veronica Lodge was not a damsel in distress. She knew how to fight back, and this was the perfect time to put her knowledge into action.
Rapidly studying her situation, she tried to jab her attacker with her elbows and free herself, causing them to get tangled into some spiderwebs and witch props, startling her attacker for a few seconds before he steadied himself, giving her barely enough time to escape.
She made a run for the stairs, praying that she wouldn't slip in her high heels boots but, just as she was about to reach the first stair, she screamed as a gloved hand pulled her back and pressed her against the wall, giving her full sight of her attacker's cult mask and blue mechanic cover-all.
''What do you want? Let go of me!'' Veronica demanded, voice steady and firm despite how scared she was.
She tried to reach up to remove his mask, but he grabbed her hands and secured them in his fist, preventing her from revealing his identity.
He didn't say anything, he just pressed his body against hers and, for a fraction of second, Veronica thought she was about to get raped. Her heart was beating fast behind her chest, getting flashbacks from her night with Nick St. Clair.
She opened her mouth to scream again, being closer to the door this time and having a better chance for Pop to hear her distress, but her breath caught in her throat, feeling something cool touching her neck. A blade.
Veronica stilled and gulped, terror flashing through her eyes.
A familiar laugh filled the air, giving away the identity of the masked asshole she called her boyfriend. She narrowed her eyes and hit his chest and shoulder, not holding back. ''You're such an asshole, Sweet Pea! Good Lord, never do that again...''
He removed his Michael Myers mask, revealing a big grin. ''You should've seen your face! You looked terrified,'' Sweet Pea pointed, still laughing.
She shouldn't have expected any less of him. He was an horror fanatic, after all. He even dressed up as his favorite slasher protagonist.
Veronica gave him a stern look, raising her arms. ''Of course I was! I thought someone was going to murder me. I had all the rights to be scared.''
Sweet Pea rolled his eyes. ''It wasn't even a real blade...'' She crossed her arms and he sighed, knowing what she was waiting for. ''I'm sorry...that I didn't get this on video.''
She swatted his chest and he pulled her into his hold, going in for a hug of forgiveness, but stopped mid-way, taking notice of her outfit. He had no idea what she was dressed as, maybe some bat or maybe that girl from Black Swan. What he knew was that she looked fucking hot in this fitted dress, hugging her in all the right paces.
Holding her at arm length, Sweet Pea glancing up and down. ''Fuck. You're going to be the death of me, Veronica Lodge,'' the Serpent declared, capturing his bottom lip with his teeth as he ran his hand on Veronica's sides, following the curve of her body.
A fierce grin formed on Veronica's lips, cocking a perfectly plucked eyebrow. She took a step forward and closed the space between them, the tall one's cologne filling her nose. Sweet Pea's breath hitched as he leaned down, following her as she leaned in for a kiss but, just before her lips touched his, she abruptly dodged them, bringing her lips are next to his ear instead.
''I'm warning you,'' she said, her breath blowing on the shell of his ear as she spoke. ''If you take this knife to my bedroom, I'm going to be the one pointing it at you.''
Taking advantage of Sweet Pea's distraction to reach for the fake knife in his back pocket, stepping back to wiggle it between them.
A smirk formed on his lips. ''Noted.''

hello, if this hasn’t already been done can you write about the members comforting an s/o with nightmares after watching a horror movie?
Masterlist 1 - Masterlist 2 - Masterlist 3 - Holiday and Vacation Masterlist
Buy me a coffee here!
oOoOoOoOo
Xemnas - reassures you that he is much scarier than any horror movie monster that could ever come anywhere near you, which, okay, he has a point, but it doesn’t change the fact that the movie terrified you and you probably aren’t going to get any sleep any time soon. But he’ll stay up with you as long as you want and even keep watch over you until you fall asleep, just to keep an eye on things if you still have a bad feeling.
Xigbar - his go-to tactic is to distract you with any means that he has, whether that’s to try to get a bit frisky or to tell a few jokes that could possibly make you laugh. When you get in those moods, you just want to be reassured, so he’ll stroke your hair and run his hands up and down your spine while you squeeze yourself to him. He also doesn’t mind when your hair inevitably gets all over his face when you bury your head in his shoulder.
Xaldin - is another big protector who you really feel safe around. If you want, he’ll stay up with you all night, watching some of your favorite - not scary - movies. If it makes you feel better - because it gives you something to do with your hands through your nervousness - he might even let you braid his hair, as long as you swear not to tell anyone.
Vexen - Tries to logic himself out of the whole situation, but logic really doesn’t have anything to do with it. “Vexen, logically I know that Michael Myers isn’t going to barge into our bedroom, but it doesn’t change the fact that it terrified me!” He doesn’t get it, but he’ll still talk about nothing in particular until you’re bored enough to snooze. Sometimes he’ll use so much logic that he’ll end up breaking out a whiteboard to explain it properly and you’re more exasperated than scared at that point.
Lexaeus - I mean, what do you really have to be afraid of when Lexaeus is around? The man is almost seven feet tall - any horror movie monster or killer that can get past him… well. Lexaeus has always been one of your greatest protectors and if that means he has to protect you from nightmares and characters that don’t actually exist, then he’s fine with that too. He’ll talk to you, if that’s what you want, just talk more than he’s ever talked before, but you’re more than happy to just lay on his chest and listen to him breathe instead.
Zexion - Zexion is a master of illusion so he knows how a certain atmosphere and a terrifying storyline can really screw with your psyche. He isn’t surprised when you wake up sweaty and panicked in the middle of the night because the movie made you uneasy, but he’ll drag himself out of bed for another movie to put on to comfort you and might even get some snacks or something for the two of you to share until you’re comfortable enough to head back to sleep.
Saix - You really didn’t get scared by the movie because Saix spent the whole time discussing the horrific cinematography, which more or less just made you exasperated. Later, though, when you can't sleep, he doesn’t mind when you curled yourself up against him.
Axel - Equally as terrified of Freddy Krueger as you are and doesn’t bother to hide it. He wakes up in the middle of the night to see that you’re already staring wide-eyed at the ceiling, and you both make a vow to never watch a horror movie by yourself late at night again. You get through the night because you have each other, but sometimes you’ll still have nightmares.
Demyx - Is literally as scared as you are, but doesn’t want to show it because he wants to make you feel better, not have you comfort him. He isn’t that subtle, though, so the two of you just end up snacking in the kitchen for a while before you’re tired enough to head back to bed, where you just talk until you’re exhausted and pass out in the early hours of the morning.
Luxord - Luxord’s idea of comfort when it’s late at night is drawing you a soothing, hot bath to calm your nerves. He’s happy to join you if you insist on it, as long as it makes you feel better.
Marluxia - hates it when you have nightmares so there’s a lot that he’s willing to do to make you feel better. If you want physical comfort then he’s there to give that to you. If you want a hot cup of tea or a back massage or you just want to stay up and talk for the rest of the night, then he’s okay with all of that, too. Really, it depends on what you want, but always know that he’s there for you!
Larxene - The only movie that ever scared Larxene was The Ring, and she refuses to ever watch that movie again, so she’s ready to comfort you whenever you end up getting too overwhelmed by the nightmares from all of the horror movies you end up watching. It’s a guilty pleasure for you even though you also get scared easily, but she’s there for the inevitable nightmares you’ll have in the middle of the night.
Roxas - Roxas ended up falling asleep halfway through the movie, so he really wasn’t scared by it, but he feels bad that he wasn’t there to comfort you through some of the more horrific parts! Will snuggle up with you and keep you awake by talking as long as you want, as long as it makes you feel better.
Xion - Xion doesn’t watch horror movies but she knows that it’s a guilty pleasure of yours. They usually don’t scare you, but there was something about this movie in particular that really rubbed you the wrong way and kept you up for hours. Xion will stay up with you and the two of you might do some late night baking if you really feel like you need to get up and move around.

𝐆𝐎𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐍𝐒! 𝐢𝐭’𝐬 𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐥𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐞𝐧! 𝐰. 𝐦𝐢𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐞𝐥 𝐦𝐲𝐞𝐫𝐬 𝐱 𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐝𝐞𝐫
𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐦𝐚𝐫𝐲: It’s Halloween, ladies and gentlemen. Our beloved and most (in)famous killer is off the leash, ready to start a killing spree just when you decided to celebrate halloween in a provocative angel costume. What you’ll read next is the result of years locked up in a psychiatric hospital without someone who could help Michael with his needs.
𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭: 7801
𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐬: language, oral, smut (or something close to that lol)
𝐚/𝐧: I don't know how the law works where you live, but let's keep it legal. Also, it took me forever to write this, beware the grammar mistakes and the writing. Enjoy it!
You felt like you were going to pass out any time soon at this point. Since you found Cindy's body upstairs, you could hear the man's steps around the house cracking sounds on the wooden floor with every step being enough to get your legs failing from all the tension. You struggled to keep a steady heartbeat as well as your breathing, expecting the murderer to jump at you any moment now and end your life.
It was Halloween night. You could feel something was off when your friends invited you to the abandoned house around the block. You cursed yourself for not listening to your intuition before and now the devil was out in a hunt for the angel. It seems that you were out of luck, the small wings on your white dress could get you nowhere or you would've jumped out of the window already to escape the infamous Haddonfield killer — Michael Myers.
It has been a moment since you last heard his pace on the corridor. Carefully, you check to see if there's anyone out there and once you were sure it is clear your legs made one last effort to get to the other side of the house, hoping it could be your escape route. However, your luck didn't last long. Michael stood in the room with a dead body on the bed, not taken aback when you dashed in front of him, almost like he was waiting for this. You let out a short scream before running into another room. Not disposing of enough time to find an excellent spot for hiding, the bed would have to do and it was the quickest option that you had at the time.
Beneath the mattress, you had no strength left as your heart wanted to explode inside your chest, apparently. You were sure that if you didn't die by Myers' hands tonight you would certainly die from a heart attack due to all the scary shit you've been through so far. Thinking of any prayers you had left in your mind, the sight of black boots on the door brought you back from your thoughts. It took Michael a couple seconds to kneel down in front of your hiding spot, causing your whole body freeze. Your first instinct sent you crawling away from Michael.
Michael stood up, mimicking your movement, and his towering height disturbing your poor heart even more. He seemed curious about your next step. His cold eyes beneath the mask, unknown to you, sparkled with a quite familiar feeling to him, a blurry image tickling in the back of his brain, causing the man an unwanted reaction. His gaze followed you until you hit the back of the wall, allowing him to advance towards you. Frightened, you pushed yourself on top of the mattress in order to escape through the door but Michael's hand were fast enough to catch you before you could even breath in relief.
His strong hand let go of his knife, pushing your body against the mattress, fingers tangled with your messy hair as his other hand landed dangerously on the curve of your hips. Michael's eyes caught the newly revealed skin and his fingers so pleased pushed your dress even upper to give the man full sight of your bum. He seemed pleased as he heavily laid his hand on your ass, squeezing it before groaning with desire. You fought to escape from his grip, but it was foolish of you to believe you can outdo the man and his force.
Michael turned you around, now facing each other, so close he could feel your erratic breath against his mask. His eyes traveled through your body along with his own hand, amazed by the female presence that was sufficient to drag him out of his character. Michael's fingers brushed lightly against your covered nipple causing you to arch your back just enough for him to notice it. Then, he pinched and played with your nipples, squeezing the softness around them and feeling the smooth, cold fabric of your dress. Your hands tugged his blue mechanic suit and your legs parted slightly, inviting Michael to bring himself even closer to you. As he touched your sensitive nipples, you could feel your underwear soaked in warm wetness caused by Michael. You moaned when you felt his fingers traveling south and teasing your folds.
He pushed two thick, calloused fingers into your cunt. Michael took his time to slowly drag his fingers out before pushing even further into your tight pussy. You opened your legs even wider, the man fingering you even deeper. The adrenaline, fear and arousal turned into a delicious mess inside you — and Michael knew it. You coated his fingers in cum, his fingers touching just the right spot inside your pussy that made your walls clench and sent you to heaven. Michael's fingers went to your mouth, which you gladly open to taste the sweetness from your cum. When you swallowed up to his knuckles, you saw his eyes getting even darker in lust, the man groaned. He has been so kind to you, allowing you to cum and take pleasure from his fingers... The least you could do was to pay him back.
Licking your lips, your hands released from the suit his hard, huge cock. Once you got closer to his member, Michael quickly grabbed your hair, wary and stiff, but he relaxed as he felt the warmth of your breath on his cock. You closed your lips around his smooth member, flicking your tongue around the sensitive head before swallowing him deep. Michael moaned loudly as you continued to work on his shaft, surprised by how sensitive he was to your touches. When he pulled out, a thin string of saliva followed before wetting your chin. You seemed frustrated that he didn't finish in your mouth, but the man has been all self control the entire night. He wanted no more than to rip your dress off and fuck you senseless, especially making you choke on his cock and gag with his cum, but he did intend to make you choke in other ways as the night wasn't over yet.
Michael positioned himself, brushing his cock slightly against your clit before entering your wet cunt. Your walls stretched around him, feeling so painfully full. You should've guessed that with a big man comes a big cock before putting it into your mouth. Eager to fill you up, Michael dragged his cock out of your pussy before slamming it into you, merciless. It was the most delicious pain you've ever had, his cock hitting your limits, causing some pressure that led you closer to cumming. You dug your nails into his shoulders, your walls clenching around his cock as you came hard. You tried to hold back the moans, but Michael worked so well inside you. The man also didn't seem to care about keeping it quiet, he let out guttural noises as he pounded harshly onto you.
Closer to his own limit, Michael clenched his fist around your neck, losing control of his own pace inside you. He continued to fuck you senseless, tightening the grip dangerously as he climbed higher in his climax. You could barely breath. Your hands tugged on his clothes, desperately seeking both releases. His eyes didn't leave you any second, aroused by the image of his strong hand choking his victim. He let out the dirtiest moan, spilling his hot seed inside your cunt.
You gasped heavily, taking as much air as you could. You both panted after the heavy sex making session. Michael slowly brushed his fingers around the marks on your neck, seeming pleased with his own work. You brought him closer and kissed his mask where the lips are supposed to be. He welcomed the gesture, squeezing your tight before pulling back.
He adjusted his clothes and took the chance to leave. You felt almost as if you went to heaven twice, taken there by Michael himself. Oh, but Michael certainly knew the angel you are, otherwise he wouldn't have been so generous to you that night. Alone in the room, you wish he hadn't left, especially not after what happened. But what did you expect? He was Michael Myers after all. You just hoped you would see him again next Halloween, although you weren't sure if you'd have the same luck next time.
#okay the ending is shitty but it's been sitting on my drafts forever and i needed to post it ncksmxka#michael myers oneshot#michael myers#slashers#michael myers fanfic#slashers oneshot#michael myers imagine#michael myers imagines

Demented Suburbia.
Greener Grass writer-director-stars Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe share their favorite films while pontificating on extreme politeness, John Waters and The Swimmer.
New indie comedy Greener Grass is not the Netflix marijuana documentary Grass is Greener, but you could be forgiven for making that mistake after the directors of the former gave out free marijuana at a recent outdoor screening, according to their friend Jim Cummings (who makes a cameo in the film, and lurks on Letterboxd).
It’s been a case of watch-and-learn for other up-and-coming filmmakers, as Jocelyn DeBoer and Dawn Luebbe have stormed the 2019 festival scene with their utterly weird and wonderfully bonkers debut feature. Nobody is doing red carpet lewks like them, nobody else is handing out free weed (that we know of), and nobody else has made a film quite like theirs. Attracting comparisons to the films of David Lynch, Anna Biller and Tim Burton, but utterly at home in its own creepily perfect world, Greener Grass is the WTF-is-up-with-white-people film America deserves right now.
And it’s the culmination of years of creative growth for DeBoer and Luebbe, friends and Upright Citizens Brigade veterans, whose suburban moms Jill and Lisa first appeared in the Paul Briganti-directed short of the same name (for which they won the 2016 SXSW Special Jury Award for Recognition for Writing). DeBoer and Luebbe stepped into the directing chairs for The Arrival, another short exploring demented suburbia, while developing Greener Grass for television.
When a series failed to eventuate, they spun Jill and Lisa’s world into the feature film, landing on the unforgettable location of Peachtree City, Alabama, a real town built for the golf-cart lifestyle. Greener Grass hit the spot for many Letterboxd members at its Sundance premiere: “Just what I needed after seeing so many dark films!” was Alicia Malone’s reaction. “Unlike anything I've ever seen but … tackles ideas I have never been more familiar with,” wrote Karsten.
The story kicks off when Lisa compliments Jill on her newest baby and Jill, following suburban rules of politeness, hands the baby over to Lisa to raise. This is far from the strangest thing that will happen to a child in Greener Grass.
We needed to know where this wild duo get their filmmaking inspiration from. When we spoke with DeBoer and Luebbe they were in “high heaven”, having just held the LA premiere of Greener Grass.
Lisa, Dennis, their son Bob, their adopted daughter Madison (now Paige), and their newborn soccer ball, in a family portrait from ‘Greener Grass’.
What were some of the real-life ‘greener grass’ moments that inspired your film? Dawn Luebbe: There’s one story which Jocelyn tells about her aunt who was at a dinner party one night. She was in the kitchen talking to the host and complimented them on her apron—“that’s a cute apron!”—and the host took it off and said it “you must have it, take my apron.” At once she was like, “oh no, I just like it, I don’t need it,” and the host insisted and wouldn’t drop it. So that night Jocelyn’s aunt left with that apron. Of course, that’s just a very small example of politeness taken to the extreme. We took that general vibe and added to it and really blew it out.
Jocelyn DeBoer: I feel like we experience this at restaurants too. Dawn and I are from the Midwest, so we have a problem where no-one ever really wants to eat the last bite of something that’s shared. I do remember one experience where I was on a double-date with some acquaintances I didn’t know so well and we were eating sushi. Someone had those crispy rice things that have some spicy tuna on top and when the waiter brought it out, one of them fell to the floor. Our friend just picked it up and said “10 second rule!”. The waiter felt bad and offered to bring new ones and we were saying, “Yes, get the new sushi. Don’t eat that one off the floor!” But the person didn’t want to make the waiter feel bad and ate it right in front of them. I thought, ‘this is a Greener Grass moment for sure!’.
You’ve said elsewhere that you tried to avoid referencing other films in the development of yours, but can you tell us some films that you love, that peddle in the same story area of ‘demented suburbia’? JD: We always admit that we were watching Twin Peaks together at the time we were making our short, so there’s no denying that David Lynch is an inspiration to us. Mulholland Drive, of course. Blue Velvet, too. The two of us just love John Waters, he rocks.
DL: We love how John Waters satirizes suburbia but he also clearly has such love and adoration for it too. It’s our dream to strike the same balance.
JD: Yeah, we’re laughing with the people we grew up with, not just at them.
DL: I would say also Edward Scissorhands was another movie that was a point of reference in terms of the bright pastel color-block world, with this element of darkness filtering in.
JD: We love satires like Brazil, the visual comedy especially. We both loved that surreal world. Luis Buñuel, of course, with The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie, has the sketch-like aspects in a narrative film we wanted to do. We could just go on!
Jill (Jocelyn DeBoer) and Marriott (Janicza Bravoin) in a scene from ‘Greener Grass’.
Greener Grass technically has a lot in common with great horror films—one of our members, Sara, writes: “This reminded me so much of Halloween with the use of voyeurism and the John Carpenter-esque score… Suburban moms are ten times scarier than Michael Myers”. So since it’s Hallowe’en, tell us your favorite, go-to horror films. JD: I don’t know if this counts as a Hallowe’en movie but I love Rosemary’s Baby. That and The Shining come to mind first.
DL: Those two very much for me too. You know, I have to admit that maybe until about five years ago, I thought I was not a fan of horror. I feel a little not in the best position to speak to that. I tried very much to cram in what I can and then I discovered I actually love horror movies.
JD: The funny thing is that no-one loves true crime more than Dawn!
DL: Yes, true crime is my greatest passion.
Which film turned you onto horror, Dawn? DL: I actually think it was Rosemary’s Baby. I saw that and thought ‘this is very scary and I love it’. This is more recent, but Get Out, too. I found the marriage of comedy and horror to just be incredible and the visuals in that movie, to have such a sense of cinematic comedy-horror, just blew my mind.
You gave some of the best lines to the child actors in Greener Grass. What was your approach to working with them to capture the absurd spirit of the film? DL: That’s so nice! We absolutely love Julian Hilliard, who plays Julian, and Asher Miles Fallica, who plays Bob. From the second we saw their audition tape, they so got the tone, the characters, and they just jumped off the screen for us. They’re so mature in a way. They understood the comedy and the tone in a way we did not anticipate.
JD: They took their roles so seriously. One story we love about Julian is how he had to fall in the pool and we shot that very early on. We told him we want him to fall just like a plank and we’re showing him YouTube videos of planking so he was practising it in the hotel pool. We went on the day to shoot that scene, and the take that’s in the movie is our first and only take. He just nailed it perfectly. A couple weeks later, we went to shoot the first scene of the movie, which is when he falls in the soccer field. We go to shoot it and Julian starts to fall in a hard plank, just like he did in the pool but on the grass. We were like, “wait, no no no, you don’t have to fall like that!” and he just looked at us and went, “but that’s how Julian falls!”
What streaming platform is Kids with Knives on? Seriously: we’re fans of films that build a complete world within, including the fake shows and commercials you see playing on television sets. Can you tell us some inside stories of developing those? JD: Those were so much fun for us to work on.
DL: These kids were just so incredibly enthusiastic and Jocelyn had them circle round and asked them what kind of gymnastics can you do, let’s see what you got. And then one after the other they were doing the splits, back-handstands… We thought, ‘this is great—Gymnastics and Knives!’ We should have been filming that.
We’ve really enjoyed showing your trailer to people for that ‘what-the-fuck’ reaction. What’s a bizarre film that you love to recommend to people? (We asked this same question to Daniel Scheinert who directed Swiss Army Man and The Death of Dick Long and he said Greener Grass.) JD: Wait, are you kidding?! That’s so nice, oh my gosh! The first film that came to mind is Dogtooth. I’m always curious to talk to people about that one. Dawn, what about The Swimmer? Have you seen The Swimmer? You have to. It’s the Burt Lancaster vehicle.
DL: It’s about a man who crosses his county by swimming across every swimming pool. I’ll just say: what you think the movie is in the beginning turns out to be very different to what the movie is. The protagonist changes quite a bit.
JD: One of the coolest things about how we’re travelling the world promoting Greener Grass is how we get to talk to people afterwards and they go, “Oh the movie reminds me of this, it reminds me of that.” It was the director of Fantastic Fest who told us we have to watch The Swimmer. We watched it on the plane and there is a scene where a man is kind of obsessed with the filtration system in his pool. Everyone is talking about how great their pools are the whole movie, so yes, this is like our movie, thank you.
DL: There’s also a passionate monologue about a hot-dog wagon that’s the best thing that ever happened in cinema.
JD: It’s fantastic!
What are your go-to comfort movies? How many times do you think you’ve seen them? DL: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory I’ve probably seen 500 times.
JD: I really love Dumb & Dumber. I’m also a big comfort watcher of the Sex and the City TV show but I don’t recommend the movies!
What’s a film you wish you had made? JD: I want to say Roma, but that movie couldn’t be more different from Greener Grass. I loved it.
DL: For me, I’ll say Waiting for Guffman. It has such a special place in my heart. I just remember when I was probably fifteen or sixteen seeing that movie in Nebraska and laughing so hard my stomach hurt and thinking, ‘wow, movies can be like this?’
What’s a beloved movie you couldn’t get into? JD: Now I just feel bad talking about other films in a bad way. I’m really glad this film exists—but personally I had trouble getting into the Wonder Woman movie. I think there’s a lot of cool things about it. Maybe I’m just over superhero movies.
Dennis and Jill share an extra-marital kiss in ‘Greener Grass’.
You told a journalist at Sundance that you “did have one storyline that you pulled late in the game in fear that it might be taking something too far. We still fight about that decision and Dawn is wrong”. Are you prepared to tell us that twist now?! JD: I don’t know why I said that because we just set ourselves up to be asked that all the time. We are not going to tell you what it is, but we can tell you one storyline that Dawn and I actually loved that we ended up cutting before going into production. In a previous draft of ours, Buck, Kim Ann’s husband, who she divorces and he starts to become a cowboy, shows up at a kid’s birthday party with a new girlfriend and all the women are gossiping about, “Oh no, did you hear Buck has a new girlfriend, her name is Pamela,” and, well, she’s just hair. It turns out when we meet Pamela, she is just a very large, floating blowout. At this time Buck was also trying to sell a jet-ski because Pamela can’t do wind. It was a favorite bit of ours.
We did a few script readings with our comedy writer friends and paid attention to what people laughed at and what people talked about afterwards. No-one ever mentioned Pamela. They didn’t say she was confusing, they didn’t say they liked her nor that they didn’t like her. And we were, like, for just a character who’s all hair to not be spoken about at all, it’s not a good sign and we should lose her. Since then, we had people who read those scripts and [said]: “Why is Pamela not in the movie?!” and we’re now “Well, damn. We don’t know!”
DL: Maybe we’ll make a movie about Pamela one day.
You were working with such a great cast of improvisers. How did you strike a balance between what you had on the page, and what they could bring on set; in what ways did they surprise and delight you? Not only your actors, but for the artists on set such as your costume and production designers. DL: We were just so blessed to work with these incredible improvisers; Mary Holland (Kim Ann), D’Arcy Carden (the school-teacher, Miss Human), Neil Casey (Lisa’s husband, Dennis) and Beck Bennett (Jill’s husband, Nick). It was such a gift. I would say the movie is probably 95% scripted, so it was pretty close to the script. There were a number of improv moments in the final cut that we absolutely loved. One of my favorite lines in the movie is when Kim Ann is sitting on her porch and Jill arrives and hands her a taco dip and Kim Ann asks “is it seven layers?” and Jill admits it’s only five and Kim Ann says “put it on the floor!” That line is totally improv’d by Mary in the moment. She’s just a dream.
JD: It’s true, our designers added so many things. It was something that we talked about from the very beginning, that we want there to be comedy in every frame of the movie. We love having Easter eggs. We found one after the SXSW screening. Dennis tells a joke at the soccer field and everyone laughs way too hard and he fancies himself a comedian. In the scene in Lisa’s living room when the kids are watching Kids with Knives and Dennis is sleeping, we found that the production designer Leigh Poindexter added a VHS tape that’s sitting on the coffee table that’s just labeled ‘Comedy’, as if Dennis has been studying comedy for his joke, which we thought was so funny.
Our costume designer Lauren Oppelt added so many little touches, but one we really loved: Nick is always wearing our family’s color, pink, and a very gender-normative blue. After Nick and Jill get divorced, he shows up in all beige to go get more pool water, but for the little logo on his polo Lauren embroidered a sad face. It was so funny. We loved that touch.
Finally, a question we’ve been asking filmmakers all year: which film made you want to become filmmakers? JD: It’s so, so long ago but I think for me it was Memento. I saw that when it first came out in the theater, with my Dad. I was just a child then but it blew my mind.
DL: Welcome to the Dollhouse. That was the first true dark comedy I saw where I was deeply disturbed by how much I was laughing. I want to make something like that too.

DCAU #18: See No Evil
“Hey! Who locked the bathroom?!”
Watching this show in production-order as opposed to airing-order is drastically altering how I perceive it. This is an episode that I had no memory of. Like, none. And then when I watched it, yeah, I managed to sense some vague familiarity (at least enough to know I didn’t miss it the first time I went through the show), but it was basically like watching it for the first time. This time was different, though, and I actually think that this episode is not only worth remembering, but it’s kinda another key episode! I know, you probably have your doubts, but hear me out. Maybe by the end of today’s blog post, you’ll at least see where I’m coming from.
Episode: 17 Robin: No Writer: Martin Pasko Director: Dan Riba Animator: Dong Yang Airdate: February 24, 1993 Grade: A Where do I begin with See No Evil… Talking about an episode like this is weird, because knowing that I can praise an episode you don’t see praised as often as, say, Heart Of Ice puts more pressure on me to say what I feel I need to say. With Two-Face I didn’t really need to worry about getting my points about how great it is through. Everyone already knows. I was preaching to the choir. But this episode doesn’t have the flashy villain. It also doesn’t have the landmark status. Hell, its airing number was 56. By that point, this episode wasn’t special at all. The series was more than halfway over. The airing order wasn’t all bad, I mean, let’s bring up Heart Of Ice again. It’s a wonderful episode, but imagine if it aired more than halfway through the series. We’d probably be looking at it at least a little differently. I believe that See No Evil got swept into the cracks. No real harm done, don’t take this as me saying that losing this episode like that was a travesty. I still wouldn’t put it on a top 10 list or anything (at least, I don’t think I would). But I want to shine the spotlight on it, even if it’s just through this post. Give it a little bit of love, and hopefully at least get a few to acknowledge it as an achievement within Batman the Animated Series, despite it often being seen as a standard.
(“Hey! Who locked the bathroom?!” Try knocking, asshole!)
What’s funny is that the first few minutes are more engaging and have better atmosphere than the entire climax of our last episode. And that had explosions and fires galore! This is essentially just a little kid talking to a seemingly supernatural being! Wait. A little kid? In a Batman TAS episode? I know you’re going, “I thought you said this episode was good.” As I said. Hear. Me. Out. Now there’s something that creeps me out about things such as dolls coming to life, whether they’re actually sentient, or some creepy invisible thing is manipulating them. Especially when intentions are clearly malicious to everyone except for the naive child. It’s that creepy manipulation aspect. You ever see a horror movie where the mom asks their kid who they’re talking to, and at that moment you know that it’s not just their imaginary friend? That something sinister is lurking around? Hell, when I was a little kid I used to partially wake up in the middle of the night and see things in the dark. Apparently one time I asked my mom over and over if she could see/hear the lady with the guitar wandering through the house. If I were my mom, I woulda packed my bags and moved out until I could get ahold of the god damn Ghostbusters (by the way, Ghostbusters 3, what the actual fu-).
(Char thought this scenery was really spooky. I’d have to agree!)
But anyway, getting back on topic… Now, we later of course find out that this “ghost” is just a regular dude, and is in fact the girl’s father. But, despite concerns, that doesn’t remove the tension from the episode at all. There’s a horror movie called Hush which I enjoyed a lot more than I thought I was going to. But one minor nitpick is that, although it helps alleviate the cliché, when the killer removes his mask and we start to slowly see them as more human than blank, creepy slate, the scariness takes a hard hit. I hear a similar complaint with how some of the modern Halloween movies make Michael too human, and although it can often create a stronger character, that doesn’t exactly help improve the Halloween movies. Michael Myers is scary because of how mysterious and inhuman he is. My point is that relatability alone cannot always take the place of that haunting alien quality. And our villain, Lloyd Ventrix, goes through a similar transformation as we learn more about him. But here, it doesn’t hurt the episode, it only makes it more interesting. I’m usually all about sympathetic villains on this show, but it would have been so easy to turn this into a typical emotion-driven story about a dad who misses his daughter and uses his invisibility to see her sometimes. Granted, this story could have worked. It worked in Spider-Man 3 with the Sandman (I actually like that movie, despite having some major problems with it). But instead we go for a different route where somehow our character gets scarier when we find out who he is and what he wants. The best way I can put it is that we found out what he wants without finding out what he wants after he gets what he wants. Whatever it is, though, it’s likely not good. Something is so off about Ventrix. And it’s actually explained why. The chemicals in his invisibility suit are basically making him go crazy. He’s not going crazy in a cartoonish way, it’s a legitimate mentally ill way.
(Look at that fixated glare. <Shudders>)
He stalks. He steals. And despite the super villain element, there’s a realness to it all that puts the real accounts of child kidnapping and stalking at the back of your mind. Enough to get a slight case of the willies. We find out from the mother that Ventrix has basically no redeeming qualities at all, but she doesn’t know much more about his motivations than we do. Even his daughter. She has no idea who he is when he reveals his face to her. Add in the fact that he ignores his restraining order at one point in the episode to try and show his ex wife that he’s a changed man because he has money now, and it makes you real glad that Batman exists in this world to protect the more innocent.
(“Goth Mart”. Love it. This store would eventually become Hot Topic.)
I legitimately feel like his daughter would have been in danger if she would have gotten into that car. Ugh. Yeah. That’s another thing. Ventrix trying to get his daughter into his car (when she has no idea who he is, they likely haven’t communicated face to face since before she can even remember), and her saying that her mom told her to not talk to strangers. Ahhhhhh! Scary! And she sees his face and gets creeped out that he’s a grown-ass man she’s never seen before. Like, am I the only one so disturbed by this guy? In a world that unfortunately contains child-molestors and killers, can you blame me?
(I really love this little girl’s character model. Beautiful eyes!)
Now, if you’ve never seen this episode (go watch the series, dude!), you’re probably a little surprised about this being an episode of Batman the Animated Series. But they don’t play everything quite so scary. In fact, there was a decent amount of comic relief, and it was genuinely funny. There was one moment where Batman jumps onto our villain’s invisible car as it starts racing through the city. At first, this looked stupidly campy. I was thinking of the Invisible Boatmobile. And also, since we can’t see the car, we just see what appears to be Batman flying around in an incredibly static position at 90 mph. But the show was smart. Martin Pasko knew that this would look stupid. So they embrace it. We see a civilian who notices Batman speeding by, and he goes, “I didn’t know he could fly too!” in a pretty funny voice. Char and I both laughed out loud. It was very well played.
Speaking of funny voices, by the way, holy hell, the voice work in this episode was incredible. Every character’s voice had so much…well…character! My favorite voice performance in the episode was actually that one scientist (Sam Giddell was his name) that Batman talked to about the invisibility plastic. He was kinda funny sounding, but not in a cartoony way. He sounded exactly how he should, a nerdy, dedicated, hard-working researcher. He was no Seymour the scientist (anyone who gets that reference gets a bat-cookie. Or maybe a lava cookie…), that’s for sure. Y’know who another surprisingly great voice came from? Batman. You’re probably thinking, “This is Kevin Conroy, Collin. His Batman voice is always great.” You’d be right…kinda. Watch The Cat and the Claw, and then go watch the Superman TAS episode World’s Finest. One is really good. One is great, and the Batman voice we’ve come to know and love from Conroy. I think that See No Evil is our first episode with the definitive Kevin Conroy Batman voice. Especially when compared to The Cat and the Claw where everyone was barely talking above a whisper (I still don’t know what that was about, honestly). Really, The Cat and the Claw coming right before this episode just highlights why this episode is a key episode even more. The Red Claw ended up being a little bit more gimmicky and stock than I would have liked. And she was a little bit too…exaggerated? Think back to that attack on the train. See No Evil indeed has a villain with a gimmick, don’t get me wrong. But this gimmick is one that provides a lot of plot-points that don't feel empty. It’s how he manages to frequently talk to his daughter. It’s how he managed to kidnap her. It’s how he committed so many of his crimes. It’s how he gave Batman so much damn trouble. Compare this to the level of meat that Red Claw provided for that story. Miles apart.
Underneath this gimmick, which essentially is a way of giving someone in this show a super power, we have a regular guy (well…kinda) without even a supervillian name. Bruce Timm and co from the beginning wanted the show to focus on good stories rather than freaks of the day. They made it clear that sometimes this would involve regular mobsters or, maybe people like Ventrix. We’ve already done similar with It’s Never Too Late, but I think that this episode is even better in some aspects.
It isn’t perfect, though. The scene with Batman on top of the car, yeah, the joke was funny, but it goes on a little too long for me. Also, the bit where Ventrix pulled that robbery of the jewelry at the beginning I had mixed thoughts on. Like, dude. You’re invisible. You manage to quietly sneak an item into your pocket, but then decide to throw the idea of stealth completely out the window by ripping jewelry out of people’s hands, shoving people around, and dumping out displays right in front of people? Oh, good job, now you alerted Batman, you moron.
(An in-costume Ventrix, visible.)
At the same time, though, we do establish later on that this guy isn’t mentally there, so maybe that’s a decent enough reason. Either way, these are nitpicks through and through, and calling them anything but would be doing an injustice. This episode is awesome. I haven’t even talked about the step up in action scenes yet. This is probably the best the series has been so far with action. Except for when Mr. Freeze rode that fire hydrant into a building. That was amazing. Batman gets the shit beat out of him in this episode. I think that maybe they could get away with more because the villain was invisible for most of the hits or something, but the way that they were animated still makes them look just as painful as any hits from a completely visible person would have.
(Caption this?)
(Or this.)
(Or this.)
(Or even this.)
Yeah, the animation here was done by Dong Yang. Y’know. The same ones who did Nothing to Fear and I’ve Got Batman In My Basement. Before I checked on who the animation studio was, I totally would have guessed TMS or Spectrum. It looks that great. A major step up from those two mentioned episodes. The only weird bit was that Batman’s face looked a tiny bit off occasionally, but it's barely noticeable. It’s mostly in his nose, and how it tends to hang down. Anyway, yeah. Lots of great action scenes. Probably one of the coolest was when water is raining down on the battlefield, and Batman uses that to keep an eye on Ventrix and take him out. Here, he is totally visible, but they don’t cut back on the damage being done by Batman’s fists and feet. But y’know what the main thing I noticed with this bit was? The live action Daredevil movie totally got the final fight scene from this episode. Coincidentally Ben Affleck is a common denominator.
There are lots of other little things I could say. There were a few more funny bits, a particular scene where Batman is rummaging through some files and tension skyrockets, and even the technical mumbo jumbo that surprisingly made a lot of sense and didn't seem to jump the shark much… It’s mostly all great. This is why production order is so important for this episode in particular. By the time episode 56 arrived, much of See No Evil’s achievements had already been seen! But watching it this way, we see a huge boost in good comic relief, a huge boost in action, a huge boost in tension/borderline horror elements, a huge boost in animation (at least for this particular studio), a huge boost in voice work, and a solid, entertaining story to go with all of it. I really liked this episode, as did Char, and this is why it gets a proud, sturdy A from me. Char mentioned to me that this villain felt like a one-shot, and I’m guessing she’s right (I can’t quite recall). I bet they could have done another interesting story with Ventrix, and maybe he found his way into some of the DCAU comics? Speaking of that…
I made a post earlier, but I wanted to reiterate! There are DCAU comics. There are actually a lot of them. Now, I have no idea which ones are technically still considered canon (or which ones ever were). But what I’d like to do is put in a little research and start including them in this blog! Unfortunately, these likely won’t align together as nicely as the episodes do. Because I’m watching Batman in production order, it’s kinda hard to then look at the comic dates and place them appropriately throughout. So I’m going to treat them more as a separate thing and check them out at my own pace. I don’t even own any right now, so it’s likely gonna be a while before I even get to them. I still don’t know if I want to do all of them, or just the confirmed canon ones? Any input? Lemme know! With that, I’ll see y’all next week, most likely, as we…um…head west…
Char’s grade: A
Next time: Beware Of the Grey Ghost Full episode list here!

Hmm... so... how slashers (Jason, Michael and Leatherface) would react if they s\o also wore her special mask or make them?
I know you requested female, but I strictly keep headcanons where gender doesn’t really matter gender neutral so everyone can relate to them.
Jason Voorhees
• This man demands one of your masks. He loves his hockey mask, but having something hand made by you excites him. He watches you in anticipation as you make him a new mask, and before you can put the finishing touches on it, he tries it on. It’s enough to make him tear up.• This being said, he likes wearing matching masks with you. It makes him feel closer to you. The rare times when Jason takes off his mask, he likes swapping with you, because he finds it endearing to see his oversized mask on you (he also does this with his clothes, but that’s another story)• He likes your cutesy masks more. You make plain ones, scary ones, novel ones, but the masks you make that look like dolls and animals he adores. He doesn’t ever wear those ones, but he hangs them around his cabin with joy.
Michael Myers
• You and him are kindred spirits, and he respects your masks, and doesn’t dare remove it, or touch any of the masks that you make. Not because he doesn’t want to ruin any of then, but because he has a deep seated unease about most of them.• The ones that don’t bother him he stares at, quietly and curiously, as if he’s trying to understand them. Sometimes, you can catch him about to touch one, but drawing back, like a child afraid o touch his parents porcelain.
• One of his favorite things to do is to lift up both of your masks just barely enough so e can kiss you, and keeping masks on during sex? You better believe it. If you can manage, he actually thinks its hot if you swap masks with him, especially during sex. (he’s secretly a sub ;o)
Leatherface
• He absolutely adores your masks, thinking they’re some of the coolest things ever. Watching you create masks is enraptures him, regardless of what material you use. Sanding down and painting wood, carefully sewing together (animal) leather, even kneading, shaping, and painting clay and porcelain.
• He begs you to teach him how to, and it’s like bonding thing for you now. His masks look like children made them of course, but you still hang them up on your wall, or in your shop proudly. One of the animal leather masks that he made for you, despite being ugly, is extremely comfortable, so you wear it to bed. He always smiles and holds you close when you do.
• While he respects your decision to wear your mask, he is constantly in awe when you take it off. Despite not doing it often, he always takes his mask off too to make you feel more comfortable. He always gets so giddy, and even kisses you without getting your permission when you do.

8 of the greatest internet trolls of all time
It's Troll Week on Mashable. Join us as we explore the good, the bad, and the ugly of internet trolling.
The internet is full of trolls — but there's a special breed of troll that has garnered a reputation for being the best in the game.
Whether it's on YouTube, Twitter, or in the dreaded comment sections, these masters know how to play the game. In honor of these great heroes, take a look at eight of the best trolls, who are out there doing the internet a great service by just being themselves.
SEE ALSO: The artist behind the 'Awards for Good Boys' Instagram isn't afraid to piss off her trolls
1. DM Pranks
DM Pranks is one of the most popular channels in the YouTube prank community. It was created by Matteo Moroni and Diego Dolciami, and they pretty much go around scaring the living crap out of people.
The duo are typically dressed up as scary clowns or horror movie icons like Freddy Krueger or Michael Myers. They stage a prank that involves a fake dead body, and when someone stumbles upon it and sees the pranksters, Moroni or Dolciami will charge at them holding a weapon in their hand to scare them off.
youtube
Their videos went viral because of their elaborate setups and extreme realism. And, it's no joke. These trolls are the scariest out there, but with almost five million subscribers, it's safe to say they've really tapped into an audience.
2. Lee Dawson
Lee Dawson is a popular figure in the RuPaul's Drag Race community who makes parody videos of episodes from the show's various seasons. His "RuCaps," as he calls them, take memes, vines, and other iconic moments in pop culture and effortlessly intertwine them with a given episode of Drag Race.
This amazing combination leads to full 20-minute videos of tomfoolery, and it works flawlessly with a medium like Drag Race.
3. Trisha Patyas
Trisha Patyas has been trolling her internet audience since the early 2010s. This YouTube star has captured the hearts of over 4.5 million subscribers with her overdramatic and hilariously shallow personality.
It's her delivery that makes her such an iconic troll. If she said she was being stalked by a vampire or had been turned into a fly at the age of six, you'd have no choice but to believe her.
youtube
To go along with her videos, she also has quite the trolly Twitter page. She claims she's a reptilian and is also dating Jake Paul. We believe you, Trisha.

4. Christine Sydelko
Christine Sydelko is a gift from Vine that keeps on giving. Even after the popular social media platform went under, Sydelko retains a strong following of over 1 million subscribers on YouTube.
A popular Vine that showcases her excellent trolling skills involved her recording a wild party at "Bible Study," where she sings "Kumbaya," all while zooming in on someone doing a line of cocaine.
youtube
Sydelko's Christmas Vine was also pretty iconic. In the video, she recorded herself going around saying "Merry Christmas" to random strangers in the most absurd ways possible. Her attempts include: "Merry Crisis," "Merry Crimas," and the legendary phrase, "Merry Chrysler." Sydelko is truly a genius.

5. Lovingkiara
Twitter user @lovingkiara became a legend among trolls this past year when she promised to draw people in different cartoon styles. She uploaded a tweet that supposedly depicted her artistic capabilities, and to be fair, it looked somewhat legit.
Okay so I wanna draw people avi too so retweet and I gotchu ☺️ pic.twitter.com/ge0JUCCxc4
— 💋 (@lovingkiaraa) June 27, 2018
But once she started getting requests, it turned out she wasn't as great as she claimed to be. The fruits of her labor may have been completely rotten, but they were still incredibly funny.
While she may not excel at drawing, she is very gifted in the art of trolling.

6. Anne Harrison
Anne Harrison is a budding troll genius. Harrison claims to be a married 30-year-old Christian woman who has three kids and wants you to worship her feet. She also thinks Madonna is a hag.
This account features some of the most bizarre troll tweets ever. Some highlights include her almost choking on a mint because "it was TOO spicy," and her retweeting an image of two gay men getting married and asking where the bride was.

7. KT Nelson
KT Nelson is always on his trolliing A-game and manages to get tons of retweets and likes on almost all of his shitposts.
Some highlights include him making fun of "young" Republicans and his iconic take on the "I am your father scene" from Star Wars. We can all take a lesson from this professional troll.
