[skunkes]

how did u feel about the 2nd Terrifier movie? i saw it on a first date so it wasn’t the best experience… but revisiting it I can enjoy it more. good sfx

So the first one is 1h30m i believe, and I know when I watched it and saw I was 40 minutes in i was like wow its been that long and it feels like not much has happened huh. But then it did what it did and it ended.

For the second one I was like oh its been 40 minutes. Hopefully it starts kicking off like the first one. And then after what felt like an hour only 10 more minutes had passed LOL and the entire rest of the movie felt dis way

I like that this one had more of a semblance of a plot... The clown cafe song is stuck in my head... Sfx is good but hm im not sure how to describe this....im not one of those "omg this is just a legal snuff film u guys are evil for watching this" people nor am i a "ermm if u cant handle this ur a prude and a little baby actually" person but more somewhere in between or outside. I love movie gore, when i was younger I watched Saw SOLELY for the traps, i didnt even know the plot until more recently LMAO

but obviously That One Scene...idk! I dont think it was too much in the "prude" way nor was i clapping and cheering but it did evoke a "ok come on wrap it up" feeling from me...like these faces combined...does dis make sense. Not walking-out-of-the-theater disgust and revulsion OR enjoyment/glee but just mostly straight faced this ⬇️

The first movie has a naked woman being split in half from coochie down so its definitely not the gore itself here that evoked this emotion ykwim

[welcomebacktohoimicraf]

just got finished watching all the new eps and i can just say that as much as i love the drama and angst and tension of all the past life series, limited life has some of the most immaculate vibes of all. literally six or seven deaths already on episode 1 and theyre all laughing at their own stupidity and doing things for the Content. we are actively seeing the life server receiving enrichment in their habitat (shenanigans)

[pepperinstarryskyicecream]

So, we all know at the circus every companion will have serious beef with you if you prompt them on the stage with the clown right? But then there is my girl Minthara.

(Yes she still threaten you with violence and stuff but look at this baby doll face my wife is so cute and adorable and deserves to commit all the murder she desires 🥰)

Anyway this is not the main point I wanna talk about. When you keep on trying to get Minthy on the stage by baiting her with (I heavily assume and whole-heartedly believe to be) her favorite joke.

Surprisingly she will give her approval and actually tell the joke while proceeding to the stage 🥲

Like she was literally intending to go up there and tell the people her jokes??? You CANNOT tell me that this woman didn't think she was all hotshit walking up to the stage, going through all the corny ass jokes in her head, thinking she was gonna show the crowd what peak humour is. But then the whole fuckery the clown pulled afterwards just ruined her chance, MY CHANCE to see her in the spotlight proudly torment the audience with her collection of dad puns 😭

[ofallthingsnasty]

Okay, okay - I have to elaborate on the whole ‘your fave discovers you spank yourself’ thoughts because I’ve been rotating them in my mind for the last few days. It’s just too perfect… So. Some little thoughts.

tw: spanking, dubious consent & bad dom/sub dynamics for Crocodile and Doflamingo (Buggy is okay though), gn reader characters: Buggy, Crocodile, Doflamingo word count: 1.2k

I feel like Buggy is the type to catch you in the act. Probably doesn’t even know what he’s looking at for a hot second - and then he simply gapes and promptly walks out of the room again, not believing his eyes. It’s not that it’s that scandalous or that he’s a prude (he very much isn’t, we all know that) - he just really didn’t expect to walk in on you doing that. Pretty much everything else would have been okay, maybe even met with a stupid, saucy comment. But you giving yourself a thorough spanking with his wooden hairbrush out of all things is just something that never crossed his mind, and it leaves the clown entirely speechless. You’re probably just as mortified as him - but the worst thing about it all is that he simply won’t talk about it with you for days. No, the moment you see your boyfriend afterwards, he turns as red as his nose, sputters and flees the other way.

It’s not really mature, it’s really, really silly - but it’s Buggy in a nutshell. At least him avoiding you quickly turns your embarrassment into irritation, which certainly is one way to deal with those feelings. You simply want to talk it out instead of playing cat and mouse as a grown-ass adults and even though you should probably feel ashamed a little bit (or should you? Is this really worse than knowing that Buggy has blown himself at least once?), you soon find yourself grabbing him by the scruff of his neck to finally address it. It’s then that he confesses - stammering, sweating, avoiding eye contact entirely - that he hasn’t been able to get the mental image of you punishing yourself out of his head, hell, that he’s been fucking his fists to it (but you didn’t hear that part, is that clear!?)- Well, that explains a lot of his odd behavior. Caught somewhere between relief, embarrassment and that familiar flicker of heat in your belly, it’s now your turn to stutter as you answer. Tell him you don’t even need some corny roleplay to go along with it (or do, he’ll be giddy with excitement either way) and he’ll happily but shakily provide. Tell him to go all out and use you as a stress relief and when he really, really needs it and he’ll do just that. Whatever it is you seek, you’ll get it from him - but don’t forget, Buggy isn't someone who only gives, he’s curious about taking, too. So humor him and treat him just as he does you and you’ll both be happy with this little discovery.

Crocodile is nothing if not attentive. Gray eyes notice the way you shift while you sit yourself down, rake over the hand that you put on your still-hot skin to soothe any remaining stings, and register that you’re wearing briefs instead of shorter options when all he’s ever known you in are more risque pieces. A sports injury, a strain, any other harmless bruise that could have you in pain for a little bit, his brain comes up with a dozen answers to the question as to why your ass is tender - that you’ve doled out a generous punishment on yourself the night before is nothing that crosses his mind. He’s more than willing to let it slide, to let you escape into the night with a sore ass and him none the wiser but when you refuse to let him dress you down fully - that’s when he gets suspicious. Crocodile doesn’t like it when others are in on something he isn’t, and it’s even worse when that ‘other’ is you, his most prized possession. So he’ll demand an answer - and when you sputter and fidget underneath his watchful gaze, he’s not above asking you to strip in that tone you know very well, the one that doesn’t leave any room for discussions; just like the two of you agreed on when you started this relationship. And once he spots the reason (or more like reasons, because there are multiple of them almost splattered across your ass) for your out of line behavior- he has his answer. The revelation certainly raises an eyebrow. Or two. But most importantly, it begs the question: why didn’t you just tell him, ask him to implement it into the already existing dynamic? The more he thinks about it, the more he comes to the conclusion that this has been nothing but an incredibly big case of misbehavior on your part. He’s almost disappointed in you, little old always-so-good-for-him you, who never as much as blinks without his permission. Maybe there are remnants of brattiness in that thick head of yours, he muses. Remnants he’ll have to carefully scrape out, it seems. No matter; he’ll have to punish you now, anyways - because you harmed what’s his without his permission and he’ll have to show you just how unpleasant a thorough spanking can be. Your measly little hairbrush might leave you sore - his belt will leave you bloody and crying.  

Doflamingo, however, is the one to spot the marks on you. That man has no sense for privacy or personal space - try as you might, he’ll barge in after you’ve taken a shower, straight up rips your underwear apart, gives you a wedgie just to get to the globes of your ass or grabs a full hand of your fat and laughs as you wince- There are a million ways for him to literally stick his nose where it doesn’t belong and they all end up with you beyond embarrassed and him laughing something awful at the revelation that his little favorite has a hang for masochism. My, why didn’t you tell him? He could have given you the beating of your life by now, if only he had known what desires you harbor. It’s cute to him, cute and hilarious and utterly tantalizing. The discovery makes his hands itch - the moment you fess up to your little ‘self made’ escapades, you’ll find the world spinning and you propped up rather uncomfortably right over his lap, his right hand already raised to deliver a just punishment. Doflamingo isn’t a man to ask for permission - you admitting that you like getting spanked is enough consent to him - and he isn’t afraid of rushing into things, either. You’ll get the most unorthodox, breathtaking punishment of your life right then and there, without any count, any broken rules or sobbing about anything you’ve done wrong. He just beats your ass as if it’s the most entertaining thing in the world, laughs like a maniac and all you can do is flail underneath him, never knowing when he’ll stop. If you were able to look at his face, you’d see nothing but unbridled joy, almost boyish amusement as he brings his palm down again and again, with varying degrees of intensity and strength. He loves surprises, loves entertainment more than anything - and you providing him with such a gift delights him, shows him just how perfect you are. You might be wailing and sobbing, begging him to stop, to give you a break - but he’s lost in those little sounds and jerks coming from you, in his imagination that is running wild with pictures of you spanking yourself while he didn't know all this time. How rotten you truly are, deep down to the core… He’ll make sure that your interior matches your exterior, don’t worry about it.

𓃭 Ateez as your bf

Requested: no

Genre: Fluff and stuff

Warning(s): none

Seonghwa

He's such a mom lmao

You didn't sleep enough? You got scolded, and he made you take a nap.

You didn't eat? He's on your ass like a lawn mower on grass.

I get the vibe he likes to bake for you a whole hell of a lot.

Expect plenty of cupcakes, cookies, pies, cakes, etc.

I also think that he is the type that when you are feeling insecure, he gets upset about it. He doesn't like when you are down on yourself. Bro wants you to see yourself the way he sees you!

Hongjoong

Definitely the jealous type! But not in a God awful way. More like in a pouty way.

One time, you'd been hit on in a bar, and he wouldn't stop pouting!

Yes, you rejected the person, but man! He wouldn't let it go! You had to make it up to him in a different way 😏

He would show you all the corny love songs he'd made for you!

And my lord were there a lot!

He really did love ya a whole lot!

Yunho

This man...

When I tell you this man would clown on you whenever the hell he felt like getting a rise out of you!

The amount of energy he has is astounding.

Expect plenty of playful wrestling!

He lets you win like 90% of the time though because you are his partner and he could never harm you!

Psych! He kicks your ass almost every single time!

Constantly smacks your ass in passing but you do the same to him.

Especially in public! He likes the reaction you give!

Yeosang

He liked playing video games with you.

Especially Mario party. Mainly because he would always win!

He loved winning because you would pout and get all cute. It gave him an excuse to kiss it all better 💕

But you would always win at Mario Kart so it was fair. Whether or not he let you win it all the time you would never know because he wouldn't tell you.

He loved the look on your face when you won! So bright and happy, almost jumping for joy!

He liked to play with your hair or your fingers whenever he was nervous!

Never leaves you alone!

San

Going to go to the grocery store to get something you forgot? He's tailing along with you.

Going to the bathroom to pee? He's right there following you. Sitting on the floor across from you talking to you.

He's your shadow!

He's holding onto you all the time! Whether it be holding your hand or hanging off of you.

Holding onto your waist. Whatever it is, he's there!

Mingi

Words of affirmation are very important to this big baby! 👏

He needs to be told how much you mean to him and how cute/handsome you think he is!

I think he's the type to go along with whatever you want to do because he's so whipped for you!

You do the same for him though!

Small spoon!

Absolutely loves to be small spoon! Practically demands it lmao

Feels safe and warm when you have your leg thrown over his waist!

Loves it when you baby talk to him.

This man loves to be babied and deserves to be treated like the little prince he is!

Wooyoung

Definitely the touchy-feely type! Not as much as San but pretty close.

Expect to be held onto a whole hell of a lot.

Constantly starting little arguments to fight with you (but like in a playful way, not in a toxic way).

You guys always made up in some cutesy way. Whether a kiss on the cheek or maybe a little date night.

Small spoon #2!

You make him feel so safe and protected! He really trusts you!

Jongho

I don't think he'd be the cuddle bug type but I do think he'd be want to be near you a whole hell of a lot.

His love language is definitely quality time.

Don't think he won't want to ever be physically affectionate. He will be, but when he wants to.

Hell, you guys would be laying down In bed, he'll lay on your stomach while you play softly with his hair.

He has his moments! 😭

ellie williams deserves to go to a pride parade,

a run-on-sentence-ramble it's corny liiike i'm not even writing i'm just daydreaming and giggling oh my god i love queer joy we oooouuutsssiiiiiiiiiideeeee

and to wear the ugliest fucking adam-sandler-ass-outfit that the world has literally ever seen. i'm talking like.. reebok club c's. nike socks, rolled all the way up. oakley sunglasses on her head that she stole from that one abby bitch who rows crew. jorts, with a carabiner, looped on her outermost left belt buckle (a big ass contradiction if ykwim because mind you, she's also wearing an oversized ass t-shirt that reads in the largest lettering known to man: quote, I LET FEMMES TOP ME!, end quote). she deserves to be grumpy while riley takes forever to get ready (she's like almost done, she's just doing her edges) and to vehemently protest against cat who promises that she won't draw a dick on ellie's face but that she just really really wants to put glitter on her cheeks 'cause she thinks it'll look cute. she deserves to have her eyes light up at the sight of her lover, and sit up straighter from the comfort of her manspread once she realizes that she's coming this way. deserves to reel her in by her matching carabiner (also on the left side -- someone's llyiiinnnggg), and tell her that she looks cute. deserves to grin up at her and coyly ask her if she looks stupid. deserves to have her face cupped, her nose softly nudged against, and to have a small ..mmnnn..nnyyyeah murmured against her lips. deserves to tell her lover to shut the fuck up through a snicker and to -- amidst the disgust of the audience behind y'all -- take a second to just swim in the remnants of jello shots left behind on each other's tongues -- the ones you both took earlier (at like.. 11?am?) that left hers, red, and yours, orange.

she deserves to be the first one of your group to begin walking backwards down the beginning of the parade. nevermind the seemingly infinite spawn of white gay twinks and fashion choices that are somehow.. worse! than hers -- she's facing her friends. she's giving them a look. her arm is outstretched, and her hand is holding that of her girl's who she thinks, this time, she might actually really love. she deserves to hold some $5 lemonade above her head while annoyingly shuffling her shoulders to rain on me by lady gaga, and to be clowned (mercilessly) because 1) she's catching no beat, not one and 2) i thought you didn't even wanna come, what happened? deserves to shrug her shoulders at y'all because.. well, she doesn't know. there's something about it all -- being outside, being surrounded by the energy and screams of pure happiness down the streets -- like maaaybbeee.. it warrants a change of heart. she deserves to struggle to twirl her girl over and underneath her shoulder. deserves to kiss the question clean off your cheek, and to have her chuckles blend in with your giggles while she grits the lyrics, off-key as ever and this time, directly in your ear.

she deserves to make the hike all the way to the greenery that holds drag shows, free stickers, face painting, educational pamphlets on lgbtq+ sex education, free food, outnumbered preachers, fucking larpers?!, you name it -- deserves it all. deserves to venture towards it with something cheshire on her face. with her friends by her side, and her girl against her ribcage. deserves to wonder why she is so fucking into it now. maybe she's just tipsy, or sundrunk. maybe it's the exhaust in the air, or the vibes in the streets, whatever. but honestly? maybe she's smiling so fucking hard because this is just, plain and simple, right where she's supposed to be.

:)

bg3 companions ranking?

10. Halsin. I have no principles and can fully admit if it was a relentlessly horny grizzled older butch WOMAN bear druid i would be like this is the greatest video game character of all time but as it stands he just doesn’t compel me much

9. Minsc. he’s so fun but the whole thing is one singular bit no variety.

8. Karlach. Listen on paper “literally gideon nav but a tiefling” should do more for me i don’t know why it doesn’t. that being said if we were real life coworkers i WOULD want to be besties with her.

7. Shadowheart. yeah she’s alright.

6. Minthara. minthyyyyy everything she says is profoundly arrogant and ludicrously fascist she is so so funny. i love her absolute unwavering commitment to cognitive dissonance and being wrong all the time. my close friend minthara is the funniest person i know.

5. Wyll. he may be a terrible monster hunter because he just keeps forgiving and befriending and maybe falling in love with them but that’s just because he’s got a good heart. i wish the dev team liked him as much as i do. also mr. of frontiers we have got to do something about your father

4. Gale. D1 yapper just like me for real. can’t believe i ever found him annoying and disliked him simply for being a corny ass nerd because i have come all the way around on that. also i like that he has a fun earring even if it IS mystra merch.

3. Astarion. i too am an annoying homosexual shit-starter who is constantly just doing a bit. they put the most effort into his writing and character so he is really by default one of the strongest. also there’s just too damn many locks in this game to not need him nearby

2. Jaheira. love her terrible luck and gravitational force of a personality and slight weirdo mannerisms and fondness for clowns and deadbeat milf ways. wish she had been a companion earlier but she is so fun to take into baldur’s gate.

1. Lae’zel. she’s BEEN my favorite she’s in every single party i have i love her complete and total seriousness i love that she’s a weirdo and i love how much she grows and changes and develops optimism and hope. what can i say. real lae’zelheads know

[feniverse-unfiltered]

Happy saint nicholas day, here's a snippet clowning on Wolfwood (I had Tri98 ww specifically in mind but any works)

CW: suggesstive, but really just goofy and not serious at all

Imagine if you will Wolfwood picking you up at a bar. He chats you up, takes you back to wherever he's staying, things start getting hot and heavy, but then he says something in an attempt to sound suave/cool but instead it makes you burst out laughing.

This takes the both of you by surprise and unfortunately you just... keep laughing at the ridiculousness of it all and it takes awhile for you to stop. You eventually calm down, and Nick, ever the patient saint, determined to make this work, tries to pick up where he left off. Things go fine, things progress, but then he tries to whisper another corny line in your ear and it sets you off again.

Rinse, wash, repeat.

By the fourth or fifth time this happens he starts to get fed up with you, starts complainin and griping like "you're killing the mood and my ego, what even is there to laugh about"/"starting to think I shoulda left you at the bar"/"one more damn laugh and I'm leaving" etc etc while balls deep inside you. You promise you'll stop (also isn't this his room? dramatic ass bitch), things start to go well but then he says something again that sets you off and you barely get out a snort before he just ups and leaves. You can hear him cursing in the hall.

Coryxkenshin & Berleezy as your boyfriends Headcannons (separately)

⠀ ⌢ . ꒰ ⌢୨୧⌢ ꒱ . ⌢

Summary: coryxkenshin x reader, berleezy x reader, fluff, black!reader, relationship headcanons.

Coryxkenshin as your boyfriend

●The ultimate protector boyfriend. Cory takes his role as your man very seriously, always making sure you're safe, comfortable, and happy. If y'all walking outside at night? He's on high alert. If you're scared while watching a horror movie? His arm is already around you.

●He loves making you laugh. This man will do literally anything to hear you laugh - even if it means embarrassing himself, a corny joke,a goofy dance, or throwing out the most ridiculous jokes. If you're having a bad day? He's already pulling up with snacks and a skit- ready performance. "My love, my queen, my everything - why the long face? I'm here to vanquish all sadness!"

●Gaming nights are a must. Y'all will stay up late playing horror games together, both screaming at the screen when something pops out. If you get scared, he's laughing his ass off but also lowkey protective. "AYO, NAH! That thing was moving weird - babe, get behind me, we are fighting pixels tonight."

●He loves cuddling but won't admit it outright. If you sit next to him, he'll act like he doesn't care at first, but slowly, you'll notices his arm moving around you, his head resting against yours. If you call him out, he's all like, "Pfft, you wish I was cuddling you - pssh. Anyways, don't move. This is comfortable."

●The type to send you random texts like:

●"Babe, if we were in a horror movie, I'd definitely survive."

●"I just saw someone who kinds looks like you... but uglier. You still the finest, though."

●"You ate today? I swear if you say no..."

●Super respectful & a gentleman. He'll open doors for you, hype you up constantly, and make sure you always feel appreciated. If you're having a rough day, he's quick to remind you, "Ayo, don't even trip - do you know who you are? You're a whole legend. No one can match your energy."

●Loves watching anime with you. Expect long nights binge-watching classics, him dramatically narrating fight scenes, and yelling at the screen when a character makes a dumb decision. "SEE, THIS IS WHY HE GOT DROPPED! WHY WOULD YOU TURN YOUR BACK ON THE VILLIAN?!"

●If he ever pranks you, best believe you're getting revenge. He'll set up a jump scare prank, but when you flip the script on him, he's screaming louder than you did. "Nah, that wasn't funny - okay, it was, but still, we even now."

●Loves hyping you up in front of people. You could be chilling, and suddenly, he's telling the whole world about how amazing you are. "Y'all see this person right here? Absolute GOAT. Cutest human alive. Y'all not on their level."

Berleezy as Your boyfriend

●A literal walking meme. Being with Berleezy means you're laughing 24/7. He's constantly cracking jokes, roasting people, in the game y'all are playing, and making the most exaggerated facial expressions when something wild happens. "Babe, did you SEE that? Bro, that was demonic."

●Gaming is a whole event. Whether it's a horror game or co-op games, y'all are both screaming at the screen, clowning on NPCs, and Berleezy is always overanalyzing the weirdest details. "WHY is this dude's head built like a microwave, though?"

●He hypes you up like crazy. No matter what you do - outfit? Fire. Cooking? Chef's kiss. Even if you do something basic, he's acting like you, just an award. "Yo, my girl just put milk before the cereal... lowkey, that's different. That's innovation." (He's playing but also 100% in love with everything you do).

●Cuddling is a whole experience. This man will drag you onto the couch, wrap his arms around you, and trap you there. If you try to move? "Nah, where you going? I need my emotional support, baby"

●LOVES roasting you but in the most loving way. If you say something goofy, best believe he's clowning you- but if anyone else tries? Oh yeah, it's over for them. "Only I can roast my baby, y'all better recognize."

●Text messages from him be wild.

●Nah, babe, lowkey if we were ever in a horror movie, you'd definitely trip first. Love you, though."

●"Babe, answer me this - if peanut butter is called peanut butter, why ain't it peanut jam?"

●"You ate today? Don't lie, I'm already outside with food."

●Lowkey romantic but in a chill way. He's not over the top with grand gestures, but he always makes sure you know how much he loves you. He'll pull you in randomly and kiss your forehead, saying, "Damn, I really got lucky with you."'

●Movie nights are full of dramatic commentary. If y'all watch a horror movie, he's yelling at the characters, throwing out theories, and making you laugh even when the scene is serious. "SEE, THIS WHY THEY GETTING GOT! WHY GO IN THE BASEMENT?!:

●If he pranks you, best believe you're getting revenge on his ass. He'll scare you with some crazy ass pranks, but the second you get him back, he's like. "Nah, you petty for that." But you know he respects the hustle.

●If you're having a bad day, he's the first person to lift your spirits. He'll talk you through it, make you laugh, and if he needs it, just hold you until you feel better. "Ayo, whatever's messing with your mood? Forget that. You're that person, you hear me?'

●Lowkey is jealous, but in a funny way. If someone's flirting with you, he'll be in the background making faces and mocking them under hid breath. Later, he'll be like, "Babe, I ain't worried, but like.... if he tries again, we boxing."

Oh shit

I know it sounds corny but my friends- Those animes were really onto something when they said the power of friendship and all that

My family since it's just a whole ass clown circus and I am one of the clown

My bed- Love of my life my sweatheart till death do us part my queen size bed (<- this user spent 20 years on a twin size bed before)

My art books- I just love art books so I like the little library I have for reference,reading and just to look at pretty pictures

MY BOOM BOX

I always wanted a boom box that plays cassettes.One of my bestfriends has sent me some cassettes and it's great. I bought blank cassettes I wanna make some mixtapes and send them some one as well as other friends.

[skunkes]

ok ok i have another way to word my thots about the movies thus far:

i think Art is pretty iconic design wise. Im not against gory slashers I think we should have more of those and I like that a series so "shocking" is doing so well...its more like.

The franchise establishes pretty immediately that it's not Serious...as mentioned the first movie has a naked woman sawed in half from crotch down so idk how you'd even make it to the 3rd one without knowing How It Is. But with how the first one barely has any plot, and the second one has A Bit More but drags on and on...its like... SO FAR (because I haven't seen the 3rd one) these movies aren't Fun to watch ykwim.

I know Saw isn't a good comparison bc its a different genre within horror but the franchise really is like a telenovela... its so stupid (good) and it has lots to complain about and pick at in the FUN way, like poking fun at peepaw and his warehouses and home depot purchases, going "are you kidding me thats so dumb" at that scene where hoffman manages to be snuck into the station in a body bag to start killing people. Varuous moments of stupid ass dialogue writing. Im not saying it cant be boring or unliked but i think it has a good balance of everything (eyerolling moments, plot, "lighthearted" and humorous moments, intentional or not) even if its not a masterpiece in the writing department.

And that's just within the series, I usually avoid bringing up fandom bc that's obviously a different beast I rarely even touch but its more about how its fandom actually has that foundation to go off of. Like you know enough about peepaw's backstory and such to springboard off of, regardless of it being good or not

Here it's like man there's a hot cool clown, lots of gore, really corny and cornily acted out writing, and its not even FUN? 😭 2 movies (again I haven't made it to the 3rd) and I wouldn't watch them again, not because of the gore but because despite not being serious, reinforced by that very drawn out over the top kill in the second one, it's not even fun... you cant even attach to the silly dialogue because the whole rest of the movie is a drag. Does this make sense? It's like. Everything combined to make it Not Fun. Whereas at least with Saw you can start joking about how someone just wasn't trying hard enough to win peepaw's foundationally silly ass "you tried to kill yourself now you're in the try not to kill yourself" trap.

It's at odds with itself. I've seen like one Halloween movie and can barely even remember it but I know all the jokes about outrunning Michael Myers (and that cat and mouse is also Fun)...theres also like 50 of those movies I KNOW theyre probably also fun to watch and complain about the absurdity... I think the issue here might also be the straightforwardness and point A point B of it all. There's not really much anyone can do against Art, which is fine, some saw traps are literally unwinnable after all. But Terrifier doesn't even give you the chance to, like, boast about how you definitely could have survived the Silence Circle trap because you're not an idiot... it's just not Fun. To me.

I think Art himself is fun and the corny dialogue are fun. I'll even go ahead and say the gore is fun because again like come on the clown literally rips a guys cock off its Absurd... but they seem to be trapped in movie(s) that so far aren't fun

I'm greedy

Favorite villain: My favorite Superman villain of all time is General Zod. I think his character can be adapted into any era bc I think there’s always something to say about a guy who’s in prison for pre-Superman crimes, who then also manages to go BACK to prison cuz of even more war crimes 😂😂😂 My favorite iteration of his clown ass is during Geoff’s reign.

Favorite adaptation: Smallville (2001-2011)! It wasn’t always the best time, but it got me into reading DC Comics and introduced me to forever faves like Bart Allen, Lex Luthor, and of course, Soupeyman himself. It also got me into reading Silver Age comics and the original Superboy series. As corny and terrible as it was at times, I think it fulfilled its purpose in attracting a new generation of readers aka me :’>

An Elseworlds I’d like to see: I’d like to see some kinda folk horror comic about Krypton. I think there’s great potential in exploring a culture with few survivors through a horror lens, especially when you think about generational trauma, forced migration, and lingering feelings. I think Phillip Kennedy Johnson posed an interesting point about the Phaelosians, and coupled with Krypton lore we already have, I would love to see a much more spookier look at Krypton’s history. Can ghosts and demons survive a planetary genocide? I think it’s a pretty cool question to ponder on.

Harry Potter Clown Takes Special Edition—Le Guin Again

In which an old Le Guin quote returns to bring all the HP clown shakes to the yard. Is it better than yours? Let’s find out.

So Le Guin made this comment in a 2005 interview, by which time Half-Blood Prince was published, the darkest and most morally complicated book of the series by that point. Apart from that, her criticism is not very good for these reasons:

1. Rowling never claimed her series was original. I even honestly doubt there were adult critics were calling her books original. Even in its heyday there were plenty of critics and even a lot of cranks suing Rowling for plagiarism for the magical school idea. Most likely the critics were referring to Rowling’s execution, which indeed much more fleshed out than Le Guin’s very cursory and drama-free treatment. At the very least Rowling’s characters have plausible personalities than the symbolic cyphers of A Wizard of Earthsea.

2. I’ve struggled with understanding what “ethically mean-spirited” even means, given the series’ singular preoccupation with morality and the blatant moral complication Rowling develops in the latter half of the books. If Le Guin means the karma potshots at the actual abusive and mean-spirited Dursleys or even Fred and George’s nastier pranks, then I suppose kids rebelling against their tormentors or, er, doing stupid kid shit can be said to be ethically mean-spirited. And even the Dursleys are given a quick and easy exit at the end of Book 7 with not even a loss in pride and a slightly reformed Dudley (!!).

I have a feeling that had the series had framed these petty revenges on the Dursleys negatively and urged forgiveness that Le Guin would have said the series legitimized abuse and ill-treatment. If anything Rowling is a sentimental softie compared to the likes of Roald Dahl. Brad Neely’s hilarious narration even makes fun of the corny coming-of-age tropes Harry Potter exemplifies.

‘90s sensibility is right! Boy, those ethnic stereotypes are a whopper. Cho Chang is a Ravenclaw, a Quidditch athlete, and an easy and sentimental crier, especially when it comes to relationship drama. Lee Jordan is the unofficial trickster pal of Fred and George and offered entertaining if funnily biased Quidditch commentary. Angelina Johnson is a very good Quidditch player, gets almost as fanatic as Wood when she becomes captain, goes with half the twins to the Yule Ball, and has dreadlocks (?). There isn’t much to Dean Thomas (half-blood, father walked out on him) except as a friend of Seamus; he later dates Ginny. Parvati is a girly girl who likes Divination and pals around with fellow girly girl Lavender. Kingsley Shacklebolt is an Order member, excellent at passing as a Muggle, and becomes Minister of Magic. Don’t all these description scream “stereotypical” to you???? I know it does to me.

As for moral sophistication…I guess you could write a whole ass kid series about how the government is not only ineffective and in denial of a white wizard supremacist threat but are actually intimately in bed with them and actually has no problem with their ideas. I guess you could portray the whole of wizard society as supremacist lite(tm) and even have a whole-ass plotline about supremacist attitudes against non-magical creatures. But that will be too morally unsophisticated for the kiddies, wouldn’t it?

Harry, who begins as a mild, polite (if sassy towards his asshole relatives and assholes in general), average and morally wholesome student, definitely ends the series as a mild, polite, and average and morally wholesome student. Nothing in Harry changed at all, nuh-uh, nope. He only just develops a fierce temper, learned how to properly cast the Cruciatus Curse and other war crime shit, learn and forgive both his mentor’s betrayal and a detested teacher who hated his guts, and sacrifice his life for the greater good. See? No change.

I read A Wizard of Earthsea about a year ago and if someone pointed a gun at my head and demanded to tell me what happened in that book, I would literally die. That said, The Left Hand of Darkness had very good style and craft, so I can only assume that Le Guin just isn’t a writer for the elementary set, period.

Because modern America and Britain is not at all characterized by mean and overly aggressive competition and tribalism between arbitrary groups disguised as wholesome fun and don’t have horrible colonialist histories or unethical lifestyles.

You can’t have your cake and eat it too, Clown OP. Either HP is a morally uncomplicated children’s fantasy that is not good representation of our real world ~or it has deeply problematic depictions of Anglo world and culture through the vehicle of fantasy. It can’t be both.

Harry was literally a child. Kids accept all kinds of shit because they don’t have a foundational understanding yet of what normal is! It’s child psychology 101. Hermione is the exception as the actual smart one and blatant author avatar. But prejudice against Muggleborns and half-bloods was never condoned or tolerated by the Golden Trio or anyone that wasn’t a pureblood supremacist sympathizer. And Harry himself did feel enraged over Riddle’s framing Hepzibah’s house elf for her murder and the Ministry easily accepting this.

I think the issue for most of the criticism is that HP is still a Bildungsroman at heart, so the plot focus is all about Harry’s education and his rise in power and status. But Harry’s actual power to enact real status-quo busting change has always been limited. As in, you know, real life.

Xavier: Renegade Angel #5: “Pet Siouxicide” | December 3, 2007 - 12:00AM | S01E05

This is a strong contender for best episode of season one. I actually remember sitting with my best friend/roommate and watching this, doing just the most MASSIVE laughs. We were probably all like “DAMN! That was a good one!”. It was 2007, We all talked like that… give me a freaking break!

In this episode, Xavier happens upon a pet shop owner who is in crisis. His shop is going under, despite his best efforts to make weird animals using genetic engineering. They all have funny, funny names, but it seems like stealing somehow to just list them here. I’ll highlight the last one: “a bag of pur”, which is just a brown lunch sack that has purring noises coming out of it. Very memorable, used the phrase on many a cat. Most of them got the reference.

This one is largely a parody of the Richard Pryor motion picture (in theaters now) The Toy, a movie that I’ve avoided because whenever I caught some on TV it always seemed, uh, a little too weird, if you know what I mean. Hey, that’s okay… coolsville, daddy-o. This episode has Xavier helping the the pet store man get out of his pet debt by offering himself as an expensive pet to a rich boy who gets everything he wants. Xavier flips the tables on him and causes him to become enlightened. The boy no longer believes that “pain is a myth invented by poor people who don’t want to work”. He now wants to “buy up all the suffering in the world and drown it like a kitten”. 

This includes a memorable presentation about Emodynamics, a concept where the amount of joy you feel will directly cause that proportionate amount of pain elsewhere. “Joy can not be created or destroyed”. Very funny, slightly gruesome visuals in this. When they cut to the “deformed” cow and it just has like corny-ass clown shit on its face, mama mia, you know I gotta love it. These guys are like, so good at the precise amount of gruesome a comedy show should be. Like, just enough to be truly potent. They are scientists as much as they are craftsmen.

Xavier is such a lively, dense show that you forget sometimes that certain bits came from certain episodes. This one is sort of like that because it moves into a new story where the rich boy wants to make his father see the error of his ways by injecting him with indian blood extracted from an ancient indian burial ground, which will cause him to identify with the plight of the noble native American (just like Tom Loughlin before him). This causes the dad to greedily open an Indian casino.

Famous commercial reference: Xavier and the rich boy’s father re-enact some of the classic “I learned it from watching you!” PSA. Please! View it if you have not!

Eventually there is a show-down between blood indians and blood cowboys (from an ancient cowboy burial ground). I don’t really feel like elaborating on this plot point, sometimes this show can really disorient you. There was a line I’m forgetting that explains the insane logic of getting to this point. The cowboys are Muslim because their blood got tainted by oil reserves beneath the burial ground. Insanely funny and dicey joke. Watch this on HBOMax before they find out about it. Extremely funny episode.

EPHEMERA CORNER

[goonsoftware]

This is probably my most reread book. As a kid I was enamored with the story. The way it weaves this world of the town of Derry starting with news reports of murders, sightings of a clown, the visceral description of the murder of Georgie was so uncanny and horrifying and unsettling in a way Ive never experienced in any other book. The camaraderie of the 7 kids was always very relatable to me, I loved how this movie adaption captured their innocence, their personalities and love for each other. The casting was great for the adults and the kids, it helped me to stay immersed since the actors resembled their child counterparts so closely and looked very similar to the descriptions in the book. Of course many of the scary scenes were missing from the movie, but the meat and potatoes was there which is what I like in horror and in movies. Just get to the point. The scary scenes that were included were amazing, god bless Tim Curry. The sets, the makeup and practical effects, chefs kiss. 😘😘😘💋💋💋

The movie and story in general is kinda corny and cheesy but that’s fine. If you take this story as dead ass serious that’s your fault.

My whole life people have always complained about the “spider scene”, and after watching it I have to say . . . those people just don’t understand. The book describes It as a lovecraftian alien that feeds on fear, it appears as different entities to frighten you. It’s true body is incomprehensible. This form is described as something that exists beyond human understanding. The characters who glimpse It's true nature describe it as a writhing mass of deadlights, a terrifying, otherworldly, and cosmic presence that induces madness in those who try to comprehend it.

The creature's "true form" is revealed to be spider-like, but its actual appearance is complex and beyond full human comprehension. Toward the end of the book, the Losers' Club perceives It as a gigantic, grotesque spider with long, hairy legs and a massive, bloated body. The spider-like appearance is how the human mind interprets the creature, as its actual essence is too cosmic and terrifying. The true form of It is connected to the Deadlights, an alien, multi-dimensional force that exists outside human perception. SO BASICALLY WHAT IM SAYING is all the people throughout my life that complain “whyd they reveal It to be a giant spider so lame” are DUMB. You deterred me from watching this amazing movie for so long.

ANYWAY the practical effects for the spider monster were DOPE and it looked cool so WHAT IS THE ISSUE. Based on the description could you have done it better? I think they did the best job to the source material I could have hoped for.
