would love a list of your horror novels with women leads recs 👀
Yippee let me go find things so I can add a fun cover picture. These are all books that I’ve read in the last year! Definitely not an exhaustive list
Tumblr media
*two of these technically aren’t horror books but I’m including them because I think they’re horror adjacent enough that if you like lighter horror, you’ll enjoy em.
A House With Good Bones by T Kingfisher: I just finished this! It was good! Not too scary imo, but great exploration of generational trauma, and a majority female cast. Also good if you are a bug enjoyer.
Family Business by Jonathan Sims: hey look it’s that guy that did that horror podcast that everyone likes. Family business is fun because Jonny really excels at “lulling you into a false sense of security” and also building a believable cast of characters. I think I’ve seen fewer people talk about this one compared to thirteen storeys, and I know that’s partially cause it just came out in paperback (in the US) but please! It’s good!
My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones: this one is for certified weird girls. Jade’s special interest is slashers. She is now in a slasher. I love her so much. Part of a trilogy that I will conquer eventually.
The Salt Grows Heavy by Cassandra Khaw: (I talked about this one when I was reccing some queer books but I will repeat myself cause it’s good) I support women’s wrongs (eating people) and women’s rights (having situationships with agender plague doctors). Also this one is really short so if you don’t want to commit to a long read like chainsaw Id say try this one out. Very poetic.
Next two aren’t sorted into horror but honorable mentions:
Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia: mushroom horror, good female lead, and a supporting wet cat of a man. I know some of you are going to devour this book so what are you even waiting for. Also I think the author has a new book out that’s actually sorted into horror but I haven’t read yet called Silver Nitrate. Frankly I think Mexican gothic should be counted as horror but I think it squeaks by on some technicalities. I love the descriptions in this book.
The Near Witch by VE Schwab: good folk horror, good quick read, I’m going to be honest I didn’t like the romance and I thought the lead should’ve been aromantic but otherwise pretty good book.

As a certified transmasc Kabru enjoyer the only time I see a Kabru transmasc hc that Bugs Me is when people make it all about his "feminine appearance" (I've seen this exact explanation for this hc too many times to count. gross) and that is so clearly not what you or even most people I've seen on tumblr do. Literally what are these people mad about. Like what.
Anyway what do you think about Falin? Personally I think she's transfem bc her backstory is pretty transfem coded imo and I think it'd make her relationship with a late-realization transfem Laios very interesting.
lol yea anyway for falin shes kind of a hc chameleon for me? im ok w transfem or transmasc or the bizarre gender she has in canon for being a cis woman with male dragon parts. anything really, i make my interpretation of her vague bc i like them all and want the viewer to decide

YGESSSSS. NEW BSB ENJOYER FOUND. who is your favorite character if i may ask... i have like atleast 5 but kai is at the top i think. sometimes i think about this image and i'm like "my god what the fuck even is that". one of the guys of all time
Tumblr media
“WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT” LMFAOOO no because thats exactly what my friend said when they saw yuriy KEDBJSBSGWJW. What is. Wrong with his eyebrows....looking like a creature…a bug with antannae perhaps….
BUT MY FAVORITE IS MAX‼️‼️‼️hes been my fav ever since i started watching it love him… my second favorite is kai probably though LOL. I can tell hes one of those fan favorite characters right🤔usually characters like him are… not a bad thing just an observation lol. Metal fight beyblade was the beyblade show i had known my entire life and was a big fan of so i wanted to see the other beyblade shows with it and for some reason i watched beyblade burst before bakuten shoot ????? Yeah that 7 season show i only liked the very first season of… the rest was so boring and for some reason i forced myself to watch it by using it as background noise😭
idk why i didnt give up and watch bakuten instead, took me too long lmfao. Th reason why i mentioned metal fight is that since i knew that show my entire life i had certain expectations on certain type of characters (ik bakuten came first but metal couldve been influenced by it and it was bcs there are similarities lol) (i mean king [from bakuten] looks almost identical to dynamis [from mfb] <- thats just one example) so i thought, while i was watching season 1, Kai Hiwatari was gonna be like Kyouya Tategami where hes with the team yes but doesnt see himself as a part of it and is there for himself only bcs hes a loner or whatever but then that thing at the end of the season happened he became a part of the team and the didnt have random unnecessary off screen character regression like kyouya did in the next 2 seasons (and also isnt an asshole abt it like when he left temporarily to battle takao in g revulotion he wasnt like “fuck you dumbass” like kyouya did basically 😭😭)….
That was so refreshing to see bcs thats not what i was expecting and thank god it exceeded my expectations 😭 thats why i keep saying kai is kyouya done right bcs he kinda is…. Though i find it funny when hes just standing in the background w his arms crossed or laying on the grass like damn bro wants to be cool so bad (not as cool as the frame of rei kon absolutely BALLING)
Said max is my favorite and talked about kai the entire time LOL no but he’s my fav i love that guy EXCEPT. the fact that. He likes mayonnaise… idgaf if its ur style mayonnaise is disgusting im disappointed in you max…..
I also like Yuriy who also seems to be a fan favorite from what ive seen which i expected but i like him in a way like, hes so funny to me. Bro walkin around with bug antannae and the worst posture youve ever seen. Why is he built like that. Fucking thing. Also big fan of the weird ass sht he does in g revulotion when doing special moves hes got CLAWS hell yeah. No bcs no one elses looks like dat when they do it⬇️ as a certified creature fan i can proudly confirm this, indeed, is one of the creature moments of all time.
Tumblr media
⬆️i remember seeing this frame before watching the show and thinking what could possibly be the context behind this LMFAO . Shoutout to Rei kon for also being a creature big fan of the pointy ears and slit orange eyes (v force when i catch you v force)
I dont know peoples opinions of daichi but he seems like the type of character ppl might hate for being annoying but i like him bcs he reminds me of me and my brother when we were little (im the younger sibling) bcs every interaction between takao and daichi reminded me of us LMFAO 10/10 sibling dynamic (better than takaos actual brotha😬)
N lemme see if i have any kai screenies i took cauze i took a sht tonna screenshots
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
I was gonna capriin thwm but idk how to write inbetween them so im typing them here
First pic - already has a caption
Second pic - ths shit makes me laugh everytime im so glad people are not hesitant to resort to violence in this saga
Third pic - V force jumpscare
Fourth pic - what is he listening to . Do you guys think Kai Hiwatari would like Yuno Miles
Fifth pic - one…..one piece…..
Sixth pic - they forgot to colour teh pack of his hair lol
Seventh pic - no need for a caption. What is that
Last pic - he. Smirks like an animal. Idk how to explain it but, he smiles like how an animal or an ailen trying to do it for the first time would do it
I will read the manga soon i have physical copies of the first 4 volumes and ill find the rest on the net bcs bakuten media is so much easier to find that mfb is THANK GOD. I will also be looking up shitty 13 yr old amv s and yall better have sum real 2011 sht

— 15 LINES TAG
tagged by my beloveds @corvosattano and @nightbloodbix — thank you both!
tagging (opt in or out here!): @gwynbleidd @risingsh0t @adelaidedrubman @firstaidspray @faarkas @queennymeria @florbelles @shallow-gravy @socially-awkward-skeleton @henbased @roofgeese @belorage @strangefable @unholymilf @loriane-elmuerto @shellibisshe @cptcassian @delicateweapon @marivenah @thedeadthree @inafieldofdaisies
RULES: share 15 or fewer lines of dialogue from an OC, ideally lines that capture their character/personality/vibe. Bonus points for just using dialogue without other details about the scene, but you’re free to include those as well.
turns out to have 15 lines of dialogue for a character you have to actually write for them…disappointed and surprised. anyway — here’s five lines from my three most enjoyable to write kiddos!
Tumblr media
1. “Bugs in chocolate. It’s a thing, isn’t it? With the FDA? Thou shalt not have more than ‘x’ number of bug bits in every chocolate bar?”
2. “Well, let’s see,” she starts, pausing to pluck an olive from the bottom of her empty martini glass. “I’ve spent the last five years working for a covert terrorist organization without knowing it. My best friend — the only person I have ever trusted with my secrets — was somehow working for that covert terrorist organization without me ever clocking it, and her mother? Well, now I have her breathing down my neck asking me where her daughter is and why I never paid attention to the ‘multitude of red flags waving in my face’. Her words, not mine. Does that answer your question?”
3. “Is it treason to say you’re tired of Captain America? It feels like treason. I’m not going back to the Raft.”
4. “You’re gonna give me a heart attack, you know that? You’re gonna kill your mother.”
5. “Oh, haha. You’re an ass, you know that? Certifiable.”
Tumblr media
1. “How come you always think that’s the reason, huh? That I’m jealous? Maybe he’s just a dick.”
2. “I don’t think I can be better than this,” he finally admits, his voice wobbly and thick. “I don’t think I can.”
3. “What? No, Grandma, he didn’t have to—he was just making sure I got in okay. It’s fine. See? I’m fine.”
4. “I miss him,” he rasps, sucking in a shuddery, hiccuped breath. “I miss her, I miss Lily—“
5. “I do feel better now that you’re here.”
Tumblr media
1. "No stingrays," Ryan conceded, his answer met with a disappointed stare. "Got stung by a jellyfish a couple years ago in Costa Rica, though."
2. “I haven’t been sleeping well,” he said eventually, frustrated with himself and Mark and the absurdity of it all. “It’s nothing. Just stress. Not sure if you’re aware, but this isn’t exactly an easy job. Or fun, for that matter.”
3. God, he didn’t even know. It had been a long time, and Ryan had done about as much as he could to block out the memory of his own skin burning underneath the end of a cigarette. The smell had been unbearable. “I don’t—I was a kid.”
4. “I’m gonna kiss you again,” he said. His breath ghosted over her lips. “If that’s okay.”
5. “Hey,” Ryan said after a while, rolling his head towards her. There was a playful kind of gleam in his eyes. “Tell me again how brave and heroic I was.”

Made Marion Development Update, October 2023
Tumblr media
Robin Beta and Early Access Cometh!
Happy spooky month, everyone!
Our excellent news for the month is that we are on-track to release Robin's route in early November as targeted!
Tumblr media
Are you ready to storm the castle?
As of today, I have 1.5 scenes left to code in Chapter 3 (by far the longest chapter). I'll have the chapter 4s ready by the weekend of the 28th, when I'll start the full Robin beta.  I'll give the beta at least two weekends (especially since the first is Halloween weekend), so as long as Steam certification goes well I will be releasing Early Access before November 15.
Anybody who has pre-ordered Made Marion will be able to download and play their copy when Early Access releases. I will announce an exact release date once our beta client is ready and we're certified for Steam (I wish to release on Steam and Itch at the same time). I will extend our special pre-order pricing for a couple weeks after Early Access is available as thanks for everyone's patience.
This Early Access release will contain Robin's route only, but it is Robin's complete route. Once it is released, there will be no major plot changes (only minor edits if anybody finds bugs or typos that were missed in beta). The only additions in the future will be some minor cut-ins and a few secondary character plot sprites that are currently silhouettes (there will still likely be some silhouette characters in the final version, but some characters who play a very minor role in Robin's route have major roles in other routes and will receive sprites). I am confident that the first release of Robin's route will be fully enjoyable to early players, with the complete story and all major graphics, sound, and all CGs included!
Robin is ready for romance, are you?

Here are Most of my Yami Bakura head canons (some of them are kinda angsty)
Yami Bakura is really really good at applying eyeliner and mascara, but is dog shit at applying any other makeup.
When he's really stressed he scratches at his face and arms as hard as he can, which led to Ryou having to cut his nails so he wouldn't come back into consciousness with scratches everywhere because Yami Bakura was overwhelmed.
He has a fear of fire, but because he likes smoking he just closes his eyes when he needs a light.
He gets cold easily.
He loves dogs! If they didn't absolutely despise him they'd be his favorite animal. He settled for cobras because they seem to have unconditional love and adoration for him.
The reason Yugi, Anzu, Jonouchi, and Honda’s dolls all looked so different from Ryou's doll is because Yami Bakura made them.
He loves Godzilla movies and tried to convince Ryou to give Dark Master Zorc an atomic blast, but was shot down due to Ryou not knowing he existed. (Ryou would absolutely give DM Zorc an atomic blast)
Yami Bakura loves sweet things like cake and candy. His favorite pastry is chocolate filled croissants. He prefers it when they have the traditional croissant shape because it's easier for him to eat.
Isn't a fan of horror movies unless it's body horror or really really fucking stupid.
He likes biting his partners. Not just chomping on their skin either, he likes to nibble and really get his teeth all up in their skin. They can't bite back though because he's ticklish and will slap them really hard.
He likes to sleep in weird places. Underneath tables, in front of balcony windows, bathtubs, inside the couch.
He is a certified boob enjoyer. Doesn't matter what size. He likes all of them.
He likes neutral colors. Blacks, grays, whites, browns, and tans. Sometimes yellow.
He ate someone once. Full on cannibalized them. Only regret is that he kinda tasted bad.
He loves cats! They're not his favorite, but he loves them because they are soft and they love him back. (Dogs are the only animals that don't like him)
He doesn't like hummus. No particular reason. He just does not like it.
Completely tuned out everything Marik said after he was told his name. Everything else was in one ear and out the other.
Pretty chill with bugs unless they're flies, roaches, locusts, crickets, and grasshoppers. He doesn't like those at all.
In the situation where he got a redemption, I don't think he'd feel bad for the Yugi gang or almost ending the world. I think he just wouldn't see the point in taking revenge anymore because it obviously just wasn't working out. He isn't killing people anymore though! (He feels a little bad about Ghost and Ryou tho. He went a little overboard on them.)
He can't walk in heels over 2 inches.
He's actually really insecure about his dueling skills since he doesn't like the game that much, but he literally needs to play it.
He really likes flowers and gardening.
He keeps a copy of Tragoedia in his wallet, for memories sake.
He is incredibly touch starved, but he also feels like he doesn't really deserve to be touched in a soft and tender way. He doesn't like being kissed or hugged because that's just too gentle and loving, being bit tickles and that makes him feel too vulnerable. He can't help that he feels this way, but he just can't accept that someone actually loves him.
He stole his black trench coat from Kaiba.
Out of all of Ryou's friends, I imagine that Honda is the one he hates the least. He doesn't really do anything, and he protects Ryou from danger, so there isn't much to hate about him other than the fact he's friends with Yami.
The Yami he knows is the same Yami that burned people alive, blew people up, blew out people's eardrums, fed people to monsters, made people die a few times, and threatened to rip off people's legs. That's the Yami he knows, and he's terrified of him.
His favorite video game series is Dark Souls.
If Yami Bakura accepts the love of someone, he starts to purposely hurt them so they can stay home with him. He's subtle about it, so it's hard to tell if it's on purpose or not.

Doing the Which of your OCs... asks for my homemade blorbos. Part 1: Question 1 - 13. (If you want to know more about these guys, check out their tags on my blog!)
has the best hair? As a certified impossibly-pretty-hair-enjoyer, that's a difficult pick. I'm gonna say Corzian, whose hair is ridiculously long, wavy and looks perfect all times even though he spent his entire youth sick in bed and now adventures daily with little to no time spent on its care. Elven privilege.
uses/would use the most products? Definitely Crim, he enjoys the ritual of pampering his own body and will happily take an hour to indulgently and thoroughly apply oils and creams and powders.
frustrates you the most? Zaphir, hands down. He is emotionally stunted, in a permanent state of paranoia and old enough to be very stubborn about his beliefs, and I want his story to be about finding inner peace and comfort and genuine companionship... but his story is the story of BG3, which is not conductive to overcoming trust issues. Hhhhhhhh....
makes you smile the most? ALL MY BLORBOS MAKE ME SMILE A LOT But Solstice's overflowing love and kindness is kind of infectuous, and sometimes he is also just really really funny in the most wholesome ways.
is the happiest? I think that'd be Qursa, now that he's reunited with his brother. He is with his family and they're doing good for the galaxy, that's all he ever wanted.
is the saddest? *slaps Crim* this bad boy can fit so much grief in him. He lost everyone he ever loved, as well as himself, and has to worry about losing more every single day. (He'll get better eventually.) I also have a yet unnamed guy percolating in my skull-raisin who is hella unhappy.
is/would be the first to die in a Horror scenario? Yukiro. He's a good fighter and a good sneak, but he is also in bad health and is the kind of man who would tell his team to "Go, I'll hold them off".
has been with you the longest? Making OCs permeates my life, so it's a bit hard to tell sometimes, but I think if we assume AU versions of an OC to still be the same character, then the OC I have had the longest and who has gotten new thoughts added within this year is Meredith, my Saints Row Boss. OG Meredith is basically retired (in a satisfying way), but there is a New Saints Row version of him.
is your newest? Fully existing, that would be my SWTOR Inquisitor, Ru'lonn, who will drag the empire into a new age of alien power even if he has to do it at forcelightningpoint. Still in larval form is unnamed guy, who achieved immortality in the worst possible way.
has the best butt? According to reliable and professional sources, Zaphir. He has been a Monk all his life, he could probably kill a man with his buttcheeks.
is/would be the most likely to get caught committing a crime? Novel would a) absolutely commit a crime for the sake of his townspeople or his temple and b) be really bad at it and get himself caught immediately.
likes/would like animals the most? It's a toss-up between Novel, the Ranger who was saved as a baby by ravens and is never without his own bird friends and loves all of nature, and (surprise) Qursa, who discovered that he is an exceptional healer because he can feel the pain of other living beings by noticing and healing injured animals as a youngling, and who still deeply cares for them now (except certain bugs, bugs are freaky).
can/could cook the best? I have had to realise that nearly all of my OCs have cooking skills ranging from "eh" to "oh god please no". In the context of this unfortunate trend, only Yukiro stands out as someone who can make a decent meal from nearly any ingredient he has available at the time, and makes amazing inarizushi.

💯 HUNDRED POINTS SYMBOL — share three random facts about your oc that others may not know.
was abandoned by their parents as a baby and left at the circus </3. will lie about this and say they ran away instead. at the circus, they performed magic tricks, along with reading fortunes and holding seances. their true passion is being a little amateur zoologist for various Creatures and Strange Beasts, and they've been keeping several journals with detailed accounts of whatever they've encounter.

obsessive, very blunt, certifiably strange and off-putting. #autism.
💔 BROKEN HEART — what are three of your oc's negative traits?
definitely lets his curiosity get the better of him, has a bit of an ego. and they're a rude ass occasionally.
💚 GREEN HEART — does your oc prefer being inside or outside?
outside! she's lived most of her life on the road and in various tents and pop up structures w/ the circus so it's just what she's used to.
💜 PURPLE HEART — what is your oc's ancestry/genetic background?
they're a half-elf! alas that's like all they know. they probably come from some spell-casters or something considering the whole sorcerer thang.
🍝 SPAGHETTI — what is/are your oc's favorite food(s)?
probably a lil stew and/or sheperd's pie action. why do i speak like this
🍰 SHORTCAKE — what is/are your oc's favorite sweet(s)/dessert(s)?
i think she'd like little hand-pies or some of the like. dense pastry w/ some sort of sweet filling :]
🍦 SOFT ICE CREAM — what is/are your oc's favorite ice cream flavor(s)?
like. cherry or something.
🤔 THINKING FACE — what are some of your oc's quirks/mannerisms?
she tends to bite her lips and a lot, and since they wear a lot of loosing fitting clothing, they mess with their sleeves and collar and whatnot.
😓 DOWNCAST FACE WITH SWEAT — is your oc open-minded or stubborn? are they inquisitive or do they prefer to keep to their bubble of knowledge?
he's very curious!! some would say perhaps too curious, or curious about the wrong things but Thog Don't Care.
😞 DISAPPOINTED FACE — does your oc attract others, or do they tend to be left alone?
alas they are so god damn weird and have occasionally destructive and scary magical outbursts, so she ends up on her own more often than not. his ass is romanticizing his melancholic solitude!!

How 'bout we start this off, huh?
Mod:
Jay (21), Guzma enjoyer since 2016, could probably be a certified Guzma and Alola lore expert if such a title existed. VERY NORMAL about this man.
Guzma: (this will be a lot longer)
Uhh. Guzma... Twunny-six. Alolan born. Ma's a native, the other one's half white, prob'ly Unovan 'r some shit. Whatever.
Tumblr media
6'5, or 196 centimetres - n' like- 235lbs? I'unno. Your boy's got a bit of a gut an' I don't feel like buyin' all new shirts and shit, y'know? Couple o' the grunts say they think it suits me, but hey - it ain't affectin' the lil bit o' sex work I'm doin' on the side, so who cares?
...Don't tell Plumes that, by the way. Don't need her on my ass for anythin' else... What she don't know won't hurt 'er.
I guess I like bugs. Fuck, my whole team are bug types. Golisopod's my ride or die. Saved my life a couple times, too. Do my best to repay them favours by treatin'im right an' all...
I ain't... What is it called? Neuro... something. Nero... Normal. Fuck- NEUROTYPICAL- That's the word. See? Can't even fucking talk right. Spelling sucks. Handwriting sucks. Can't do math for shit. Probably would get beat by a first grader at a spelling bee. Plumes said I should get tested or whatever but I spoke to a doctor once and he said it's prob'ly ADHD, so if ya wanna label it, then that's it.
Tumblr media
An' just because I'm dumb, don't mean I'm stupid, though. I've had ta make plenty of homemade potions and stuff for healin' my squad and myself and my grunts. Freakin lolos, the lot'f 'em. If I gotta rip apart another kid from a wild Gumshoos I'm gonna finish the damn job myself. Five. Times. Five fuckin' times I've had to do that shit - an' three of em were the same dude. Fuck sake...
Yeah anyway, I'm done. Ya mama.

Oh! Character designs can absolutely look edible, once my friend designed a monster that looked very edible, and I told her about it and she was a little baffled.
It's all about the texture presented, the proportions, the shape language and such- also less humanoid characters tend to look more edible (both in design and in personality, the more lucid bugs in hollow knight are a bit less edible cause they're people and you don't chew people (unless you're siblings then it's free game <== guy who chewed on his siblings hair growing up).
For example the White Lady has absolutely fantastic texture (she looks like a weird mushroom tree) but she has a bit more humanoid proportions and an absolutely rancid personality that she is disqualified from being edible
This all may be a me thing cause I was a chronic chewer as a child and chewed on everything I could get my teeth on but hey, I just think edibility of a character should be considered when designing them.
(it might also link to the fact that I'm hungry all the time but let's not get into my eating issues)
Anyways when I got into an argument about hollow knight edibility with my sib I argued on the favour of the tiktik cause it's animalistic, round, and has fantastic texture, while my sib unknowledgeable in character edibility argued for the maskfly, cause it looks and acts like a bird would in the real world , completely ignoring how thin it is and the lack of meat on it's body (also it's wings look weird and leathery, I don't think it would be enjoyable texture wise).
Listen there is a reason why everyone in their fics writes tiktik being used as food, team cherry may not realise it but they designed the most edible bug
Character designs while needing to be a little less humanoid do not need to resemble a real world animal to achieve edibility
Sorry for this deranged rant I have just wanted to tell someone for a very long time
i used to chew on my shirt & suck on my arm until i gave myself hickeys as a kid so i am also a certified Chewer.
i looked up tiktiks & maskflies and i'd have to agree with you. tiktiks are way more chewable. they're like gummies or grubs or something.
anyway i think i get it now, its about the SHAPE language its about the TEXTURE. sometimes you see a creatures and want to pop them in your mouth or boil them in broth that's just human nature
