“the devil is real,

and he's not a little red man with horns and a tail.

he can be beautiful because he's a fallen angel,

and he used to be god's favorite.”

someone message me i want to spread my ghostliness on all of you.

(this is a mysterious way of saying i have no friends.)

[tearlessrain]

rabbits scare me for the same reason babies scare me. not because of the harm they could do to me but because they are so small and constantly trying to die and there are so so so many ways to accidentally kill them.

but also slightly worse than babies because babies don't have razor sharp incisors that they might use to take you down with them.

Sup same anon here who requested next gen au of Milgram. I was thinking of the next gen kids all being childhood bestfriends and them ending up being taken and raised by Milgram but they’re unaware of it.

Ah, hello again! Prev post here -- thanks for the ask, it was fun to think about some more :D

Aww I really love the thought of them growing up as childhood friends ;-; I’m assuming this means they don’t realize it’s Milgram that has them captive (or that they’re even captives in the first place), and that they became friends inside Milgram. Even if not, it would make sense for them to grow close outside the prison, given their parents would stay in contact after such an intense shared experience. 

It’d be interesting if they were staying within the prison but not quite as prisoners. Not that the current prisoners have that many restrictions lol, but day-to-day life would certainly be strange. Meals cooked by a rabbit, bedrooms are unlocked cells, and an odd, imposing machine taking up one of the rooms… I’m sure if they spend long enough there, someone would take the machine for a spin and be very surprised with what came out.

I wonder which child would consider a jailbreak first 👀 (Working with my previous headcanons,) maybe Kazui’s, if they recognized so much about Milgram and knew it wasn’t trustworthy. Maybe Kotoko’s, if they’re taking charge and being so observant of their surroundings. It’d be funny if Haruka’s kid was just as relaxed as he was this trial. Even if their home life wasn’t as bad as his, they find a family with the other children, -- they wouldn’t be in any rush to leave. Fuuta’s child leaps to plan an escape, but Yuno’s convinces everyone to take things slowly and logically.

I know the focus was meant for the children, but now I’m also emotional over the original prisoners banding together to save their children ;--; Even those who may hold grudges will overcome any hard feelings as they become an unbreakable team hellbent on reuniting their families. 

I once again avoided some specifics on the characters because it sounds like you’ve thought about it a bit -- (absolutely no pressure but) feel free to tell me your thoughts!

How the 'Candy Man' Killer, Who Murdered His Own Son, Continues to Haunt Trick-or-Treaters 50 Years Later

Have you ever wondered why people are told to check their kids candy on Halloween? Well it all goes back to 1974 when one man laced several pixie sticks to give to his own children and a couple of their friends who were trick or treating together on Halloween. All this to cash in on a life insurance policy on his kids. The other children were going to just be collateral to make the tragic death of his children more believable.

Doh goodness, did ariana do something problematic again? Or are you just saying this in general for everything she did till now

not really, but basically the actress that plays Elvira said ariana was the rudest celeb she's ever met bc she brought her whole family to a show and made her take pictures with all of them and then when she asked for a pic with her ariana said no and then left and didnt even see the show, ariana then responded in her typical fashion of weaponizing her trauma and saying she was having anxiety and said some other weird passive-aggressive stuff like 'my mom used to love you but she probably has different thoughts now ://' and now there's a viral tiktok going around where someone read her to filth that she's just a spoiled brat who never heard the word no before and thats very much the vibe she gives off so

The Human Dinner Club.

A Short Story.

"We're getting close now."

"Halt, do not proceed any further without the pass key."

"Pumpernickel"

"Welcome, come this way please."

"I will show you to your seats."

"I am starving! I can't wait for the meal festivities to begin!"

"These are our offerings for tonight. Which one shall you choose?"

"We choose the blond one, the one with the longer hair."

"Yes, she'll do."

"This will only hurt for a few seconds..."

"Ahh, here you are, Sir and Madame! She has been cooked to perfection. Please enjoy!"

I know ur joking about the freddy krueger thing but as a person also into freddy krueger and slashers, theres a lot of flack for being a freddy fan cuz apparently he was a pedo??

So ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I FORGOT ABT THAT PART

I can't remember which movie that was in tho ? I feel like it was so brief and never really touched on, you could honestly just ignore that and headcanon it out of the lore. It been a long time since I watched that series tho I could be misremembering-

Idk the point still stands, people get weirdly critical of fans when it comes to someone liking characters from any other media, but liking Jason, Micheal, etc, is fine?

"You can't like x character because he killed x character and that's bad"

"Oh you like slasher flicks? Same, Micheal Myers is iconic" make up your mind dude

I assume it's because they're "the classics" and have been around longer? So people are used to seeing fans of them and having them hyped up

but damn my only exposure to slasher fandom is through cosplayers and people I know irl, I guess the online part has more drama than I expected. I shouldn't be so surprised, and yet here we are

Freddy Krueger drove by me on a moped.

I also saw Jason holding a knife at the Dunkin Donuts Drive Thru

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

[miscelliteeous]

29/31 Twice Dead takes a while to get going, but once it does its worth the wait. It's got some wild moments and surprises in it. I don't think I'll watch it again but it's definitely worth at least one viewing. Warning: if you're sensitive to animal death, skip it. It gets sad.

....

Actually wait yeah-

Does anybody else want to take this poor frazzled lil guy and wrap him up in a blanket and cuddle with him until he falls asleep? Because I do, and I have thought about it for YEARS
