‘terrifier has no story, it’s all gore!’ ‘terrifier is just one big gore fest!’ ‘it’s just gore porn!’ ‘people who watch this are sick!’

1. It’s a slasher movie, plot was never gonna be that serious to begin with. they never are.

2. Saw is gore porn too, and it’s been in the cultural realm since the early 2000’s. When it first came out it was said to be torture porn, too. I know—I was there.

3. It’s transgressive media, it’s a breath of fresh air. Liking a clown cutting people up doesn’t make you fucked up in the head, never has and never will. Put down the christian right wing talking points and chill. It’s not that serious. It was never that serious. And moreover it’s not real.

hello!! for the fanfic ask game: ✏️ 💡🖊

✏️ What is your fav fic from another writer?

im a fickle bitch but rn the answer to this is easily Sleight of Hand by @flieslikeamoron which (NOT TO BE DRAMATIC BUT) I think a lot of fic writers should probably study before they attempt longfic

just for funsies though my fav deep cut extremely niche fic is The Maker's Gonna Cut You Down by BurnItAllDownDahling, which is a Cullen/Carver Dragon Age 2 fic which is a Sime/Gen AU kind of but also a western. it is absolutely batshit insane (affectionate)

2. 💡 What's the weirdest thing you've been inspired by?

hmm HMM i suddenly can't think of anything i've ever experienced or witnessed in my whole life. i mean, i read some wild shit for deathsleep. the arguments between academics about what viking gender roles actually were are worth buttering the popcorn for

3. 🖊 What is the most recent line you've written?

HAHAHA WELL!!! WELL: "He licks at the wound, lapping slow and deliberate, and grinds his dick against Steve’s leg."

anybody else feel that being human is like being a long-time syndicated cartoon character watching the world get more complex while your own design stays the same until youre incongruous with the reality around you??

writing advice for characters with a missing eye: dear God does losing an eyes function fuck up your neck. Ever since mine crapped out I've been slowly and unconsciously shifting towards holding my head at an angle to put the good eye closer to the center. and human necks. are not meant to accommodate that sorta thing.

it came to my realization that 99% of my fandom related headaches would be cured if everyone understood this

I don't know I'm not done talking about it. It's insane that I can't just uninstall Edge or Copilot. That websites require my phone number to sign up. That people share their contacts to find their friends on social media.

I wouldn't use an adblocker if ads were just banners on the side funding a website I enjoy using and want to support. Ads pop up invasively and fill my whole screen, I misclick and get warped away to another page just for trying to read an article or get a recipe.

Every app shouldn't be like every other app. Instagram didn't need reels and a shop. TikTok doesn't need a store. Instagram doesn't need to be connected to Facebook. I don't want my apps to do everything, I want a hub for a specific thing, and I'll go to that place accordingly.

I love discord, but so much information gets lost to it. I don't want to join to view things. I want to lurk on forums. I want to be a user who can log in and join a conversation by replying to a thread, even if that conversation was two days ago. I know discord has threads, it's not the same. I don't want to have to verify my account with a phone number. I understand safety and digital concerns, but I'm concerned about information like that with leaks everywhere, even with password managers.

I shouldn't have to pay subscriptions to use services and get locked out of old versions. My old disk copy of photoshop should work. I should want to upgrade eventually because I like photoshop and supporting the business. Adobe is a whole other can of worms here.

Streaming is so splintered across everything. Shows release so fast. Things don't get physical releases. I can't stream a movie I own digitally to friends because the share-screen blocks it, even though I own two digital copies, even though I own a physical copy.

I have an iPod, and I had to install a third party OS to easily put my music on it without having to tangle with iTunes. Spotify bricked hardware I purchased because they were unwillingly to upkeep it. They don't pay their artists. iTunes isn't even iTunes anymore and Apple struggles to upkeep it.

My TV shows me ads on the home screen. My dad lost access to eBook he purchased because they were digital and got revoked by the company distributing them. Hitman 1-3 only runs online most of the time. Flash died and is staying alive because people love it and made efforts to keep it up.

I have to click "not now" and can't click "no". I don't just get emails, they want to text me to purchase things online too. My windows start search bar searches online, not just my computer. Everything is blindly called an app now. Everything wants me to upload to the cloud. These are good tools! But why am I forced to use them! Why am I not allowed to own or control them?

No more!!!!! I love my iPod with so much storage and FLAC files. I love having all my fics on my harddrive. I love having USBs and backups. I love running scripts to gut suck stuff out of my Windows computer I don't want that spies on me. I love having forums. I love sending letters. I love neocities and webpages and webrings. I will not be scanning QR codes. Please hand me a physical menu. If I didn't need a smartphone for work I'd get a "dumb" phone so fast. I want things to have buttons. I want to use a mouse. I want replaceable batteries. I want the right to repair. I grew up online and I won't forget how it was!

what if your doppelgänger wasn’t evil it was just a person. what if your doppelgänger wasn’t trying to replace you it was just trying to learn to be a person and you were the best model it had. what if your doppelgänger looked at you with your eyes and said with your voice that it just wanted to be loved. what then.
