“there are several reasons why the horror genre declined – in both quality and popularity – at the tail end of the 1930s & into the 40s. firstly, the narrative conventions became so well established that they appeared formulaic and predictable, especially when the same-old same-old monsters were put into rotation time and time again. then, political strife curtailed a lot of european filmmaking. thirdly, movies with supernatural, violent, science fiction or fantasy elements became a target for literal-minded censors, who were concerned that the masses might believe or, still worse, imitate the horrors they witnessed on the silver screen.”

Can we talk about this? I feel like not enough people talk about this happening in the movie

Me: hm, I want something to put on the TV as background noise... Huh. Looks like YouTube is recommending something called The Last Unicorn. That's perfect, it's probably some old shitty animation that has aged poorly! I can watch it ironically!

Me, 2 hours later as the credits roll: *crying, cheering, buying the book, composing the songs*

Me, 2 weeks later: So I have compiled all of the quotes from the book that I think could make good tattoos, and also, HOW HAVE I NEVER LEARNED ABOUT HOW THE LAST UNICORN FUCKING SLAPS??? This gay-ass little fairytale fed my soul! Watered my crops! Transed my gender! Can't believe I heard of this story from youtube recommendations, of all places!!

hi sorry in advance if this is weird but i couldn't for the life of me figure out who machete was reminding me of and just now i figured it out - surku the dog from the moomins. can't remember enough to tell how accurate that is personality wise but something about the image of a distressed pointy-nosed dog shivering in a coat... plus ne on molemmat ahdistuneita queer ikoneita

I love Surku! Surku must be protected at all costs.

If you ask me, he's even more distressed in the comics.

I keep him on my fridge door as well.

But now that we're on the topic of Moomin characters, I must add that I see Machete in various Fillyjonks a lot. The short story Fillyjonk who believed in disasters is one of my favorite pieces of literature ever, when I first read it it shook me to my core, I still revisit it on yearly basis. For someone who seemed so wild and free spirited by nature, Tove Jansson did remarkable job at catching and depicting the essence of anxiety, uncertainty, vague sadness and irrational fears. At least in my opinion.

Idk if anyone cares but if you’re still on the fence about watching dead boy detectives, especially after the cancellation, I would still seriously recommend watching it. There was obviously some hope of a second season that they left a couple storylines open but overall the major plot points of the season were all actually resolved so there’s no fear of a drastic cliff hanger. I personally have never had a piece of media resonate with me so deeply, specifically the queer aspects but also the interpretation of devotional friendships and love is some of the best I’ve ever seen. And it wasn’t afraid to tackle intense topics like domestic violence, self loathing and hate crimes in ways that were actually taken seriously. The costuming alone is some of the most lovingly handcrafted art I’ve witnessed in recent media not to mention the setting design and worldbuilding. But above all else, this is one of the most amazing fandoms I’ve ever been apart of. I’ve never been apart of a fandom where people are so willing to spread joy and knowledge not just for the piece of work we’re bonding over but for their art and skills and life experiences. Like I obviously can’t force anyone to watch the show but I can assure you, you won’t regret it.

I LOVE the way you draw it's so! Aibswjjabsbsk. Idk how to describe it but I really love it. Your grim is my favorite thing ever!!!! Can I try to draw grim in your style?

Aw, thanks :'D I usually draw simple round-ish shapes for him then add his gremlin features. It's the best way I got to draw him since I'm not used to draw animals that often. Draw him however you want ! Whatever speaks the most to you :)

Grim faces + borg for y'all

I got this idea from a mlm romance novel I read but hear me out:

Eddie stops by at Tia Pepa’s while Abuela is staying with her visiting LA. He just came by really quick to drop something off or maybe pick something up that he left there.

While he’s in the house, he can overhear Abuela on the phone with someone in the next room saying things like…

“Make sure you go down to that place on Century to get the masa harina not the stuff in the grocery store…”

And

“Let the mole simmer maybe 20 minutes?”

And

“This is why grandmothers always want their grandsons to marry someone nice. Someone to look after them and make them good food. They usually can’t do it for themselves. You’ll make him some nice tamales!”

And Eddie doesn’t think anything of it, probably just Abuela giving some young girl from church advice… until he gets home. Buck is in the kitchen with Chris and there’s tamales in a steamer basket and Eddie realizes Abuela was on the phone with Buck and she was telling him how to make tamales.

That’s when it hits him like a freight train.
