Tiny Nightmares

⭐⭐⭐💫/5

👻👻👻/5 I picked this book up for the cover. Not even going to lie. I love me a good creepy pasta, so this book tickled my sick sick funny bone. Overall, there were a lot of stories that fell flat, but some of them were breathtaking, heart racing, and downright bone chilling. Here are a few of my faves. Some of these are definitely reminiscent of "Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark", others are absolutely bone chilling.

This book is also just incredibly aesthetically pleasing.

Before you read the anthology, I *highly* recommend checking content warnings.

Heads – this section seems to feature stories that have a focus on, you guessed it, heads. A little mind-fuckery too.

Jane Death Theory #13 Rion Amilcar Scott This is a whopping 2.5 (if that) pages that packs a super mega punch. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Candy Boii Sam J. Miller I’m not even on to the second page yet and I can feel my heart thundering. “We think we’re safe, speaking through software. But we’re not. We’ve already let them in.” This story had impeccable creepypasta vibes. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

A chef!AU, maybe? In any case, a story in which Kara and Lena meet through one of them preparing/serving/etc food for the other and build their relationship based on that.

(also on ao3.)

“I’m telling you, Alex. It’s her.”

At three pm on a Tuesday their restaurant is characteristically dead, save for the one lone customer Kara is spying on from behind the kitchen doors. The woman is perched, a little perilously, on a barstool at the counter. It’s the one that’s closest to their register, the one with the wobbly leg that Alex keeps telling Kara to fix. One of her red-soled heels is dangling from an impatiently bouncing left foot.

“This is the fourth time this week she’s come in here,” Kara says. “You don’t think that’s just a little bit suspicious?”

Alex shrugs, fully committed to her task of mincing onions. “Maybe she’s just a big fan of Italian food.”

“No way,” Kara says. “No woman who looks like that would put something in her mouth that wasn’t clearly marked gluten-free and vegan. Give me your phone.”

Alex rolls her eyes dramatically as she elbows it over. “Tell me again how you’re totally over Siobhan.”

“Oral sex isn’t a moral issue!” Kara takes a decisive breath while she unlocks her sister’s phone with practiced ease. “Whatever. Water under the bridge.”

“Uh-huh.”

“A love for pasta also doesn't explain why I heard this woman answer a call yesterday with a different name than the one that’s on her credit card,” Kara points out, before snapping a quick picture through the porthole window.

“Okay, now you’re being creepy,” Alex says.

“Shut up,” Kara tells her. “I’m texting Winn.”

Kara eyes the woman at the counter while she waits for his reply. The subject of her suspicion—Lena, she’d called herself on the phone; Tess Mercer, it had said on her mastercard—twists a soft-looking lock of dark hair around her finger as she studies their menu. The way the sunlight sets it ablaze almost makes Kara take a second picture, purely for its artistic merit.

Alex dabs at her onion-induced tears with the cuff of her sleeve. “Let it go, Kara,” she sighs.

“Let it go? Let it—” Kara whirls back to face her, throwing her hands up in frustration. “Do you want The Tower to end up like Winn and James’ steakhouse? Or are you fine with getting swindled by this—this… villain?”

“Of course not.” Alex looks at her like she’s stupid. “But even if this woman is your so-called ‘food influencer’, what do you suggest we do about it? It’s not as if we can bully her into giving us a fair review.”

Kara squares her jaw and sets her fists firmly on her hips. “No,” she declares, her tone grim. “But we can teach her a little about journalistic integrity.” She blows at a lock of hair that’s fallen in her face. “And also, possibly, credit card fraud.”

Alex narrows her eyes at her. “Kara,” she warns, putting down her knife. Her voice is low and cautious, as if she’s talking to the rowdy raccoon that moved into their dumpster three weeks ago instead of to her baby sister. “Let’s just take a breath and think about this for a m—”

Kara is already gone, the doors to the kitchen swinging closed behind her. Sliding into the cluttered space behind the counter, she crosses her arms and then drops her elbows on the bar, leaning what she belatedly realizes is probably a little too close to her adversary. She’s close enough to make out the individual downy hairs on her chin and the lines in her painted lips, which are still pursed thoughtfully in what Kara is sure would look like an attractive pout to someone who didn’t know any better.

But Kara knows so much better.

“Let me guess,” she remembers to get out, much less biting than originally intended. “Today you’ll be having the fifth entrée down the list.”

As soon as their eyes meet over the miniscule amount of space left between them, Kara knows leaning in was a fatal mistake. Her nemesis blinks up at her with wide, startled eyes that remind Kara of the glass pebbles she finds on the beach on her morning walks, not-quite-blue and not-quite-green, and for a moment Kara’s brain sputters out as if someone abruptly turned off the flames that kept it cooking.

But the woman recovers fast, like the scheming scoundrel that she is. She guiltily shutters her eyes behind thick, charcoal lashes, and Kara’s temper revives at the observation that her enemy isn’t as good of an actress as she thinks she is.

“I’ve actually been thinking of breaking my own rule,” she says, with a smile that lands somewhere between self-deprecating and apologetic. “I may give in and order the same thing you served me yesterday.” Kara goes hot all over with righteous indignation at the rich timbre of the woman’s voice, the almost flirtatious lilt it takes on when she adds, “I haven’t been able to stop dreaming about it.”

Kara pulls back a little in an effort to escape that curious gaze, the enticing scent of the woman’s perfume. It’s sweet enough to drown out even Alex’s mountain of onions. “I know what you’re doing,” she blusters.

The—frankly unfairly beautiful—soulless grifter stares at her, stricken. “I’m—I’m sorry?”

“You should be,” Kara says. “I know who you are.” And then, as if she’s putting down the last card in a game of Uno, “Lena.”

The woman goes very still for a moment, and then the corners of her lips tug down in a bitter semblance of a smile. “I see,” she says. She’s rigid, regal; she’s royalty perched on a wobbly wooden stool. “And am I to assume that’s enough for you to turn down my patronage?”

Kara’s resolve wobbles, too. She hadn’t expected her adversary—Lena, she now knows—to roll over so easily. “Well, yeah, obviously,” she flusters, her energy suddenly too large and lumbering in the face of Lena’s deference. “Winn and James are family.”

“Family.” There’s a flicker of wistfulness in Lena’s voice, before confusion colors her features. “So the cold shoulder,” she says. “It’s personal?”

Kara scoffs. The fraudster doesn’t even remember the names of her latest victims. Typical. “It was their steakhouse that you razed to the ground last month,” Kara reminds her.

Lena blinks at her. “The establishment just up the road?” She raises a critical eyebrow. “I’m pretty sure they set themselves up for failure when they decided to name their restaurant Misteak.”

Kara huffs. Her air quotes are appropriately vicious when she says, “They were doing just fine before your slanderous ‘review’ went viral.”

Lena does a remarkably convincing impression of someone who is genuinely flabbergasted. “I don’t even know what that means.”

“Liar.”

Lena’s shocked laughter is bright but brief. It’s the first time Kara has heard her laugh. It’s maddeningly attractive and deeply annoying.

“Okay,” Lena says. She folds her arms in front of her chest and leans back a little in her seat, unaware of its delicate disposition. A smirk tugs at one corner of her mouth. “Tell me,” she says, her eyes narrowing. “Who do you think I am, exactly?”

Kara leans in close again, refusing to allow Lena to get the upper hand. She’d like to wipe that smirk from Lena’s face—manually, if need be—preferably, even, if it means she’d get to smudge that infuriatingly immaculate lipstick with her thumb—

“You,” Kara charges, in an effort to drown out that unhelpful thought, “are a fraud. You call yourself a ‘mystery food critic’ on TikTok, but really you’re blackmailing businesses into buying a favorable review.”

“Hey, um.” Alex has followed her out of the kitchen, holding her phone. “So. Winn texted back, and he says—”

But Lena laughs again, her guarded posture melting down to unmistakable relief. “I’m so sorry,” she says, her voice a high warble. “That sounds awful. And also extremely illegal. Have you reported this person to the authorities? I can get you in touch with an excellent lawyer, if you’d like.”

Kara doesn’t know if she feels more outraged or confused.

…Or possibly some secret third thing.

“So you’re telling me—” Kara barks out a disbelieving laugh. “You’re saying you’re not her.”

“This, ehm— Tic Tac person?” When Lena’s dark lashes flutter, something in Kara’s chest flutters too. “No.”

Impossible. “Then why have you been in here every day this week?” Kara interrogates, the full force of evidence she’s collected behind it. “When neither one of us has seen you here even once, since we opened?”

Alex rolls her eyes. “I told you I wasn’t sure whether I’d seen her here before,” she points out. “Also, Winn says—”

“Oh please,” Kara scoffs, her eyes fixed on Lena, who has propped her elbows on the counter again, closer now than she’d been the last time their eyes met. “As if you could forget a woman as beautiful as—” Kara’s gaze drops to Lena’s mouth, unbidden, when Lena parts those rude, ruby lips. “...You.”

Alex stares.

Kara swallows.

Lena blinks; two times fast, and then again, after a beat, slow and sticky, her eyes darkening.

“So you may as well come out with it,” Kara croaks out what little remains of her anger. “There’s something you want more than our fettuccine.”

Lena’s cheeks have turned a treacherously charming shade of pink. “I suppose you’re right about that one, at least,” she admits after a beat.

In Kara’s peripheral vision, Alex frantically slides her hand across her throat. Kara frowns at her, telegraphing a wordless what is your problem but finding no satisfactory answer in the crimson shade her sister’s face has taken on.

“Yeah, well,” she says, almost disappointed, fumbling to fill the space left by Lena’s confession. “I’m telling you right now that it’s never going to happen.”

Alex clears her throat with startling force. “Winn wants to know,” she says, reading from her phone, “Who’s the hot chick?”

When Kara returns her gaze to the woman on the other side of the counter, she gulps. Lena is somehow even closer than she was before. She’s also fully propping herself up now on the laminate surface between them, granting Kara a glimpse of freckled cleavage that in no possible universe could be interpreted as unintentional.

“So,” Lena drawls. “What you’re saying is you’re not going to give me your number?”

Kara’s throat is suddenly very dry.

“Huh?” she manages, but only just barely.

“I was hoping,” Lena says slowly, that maddening smirk once again tugging up the corner of her mouth, “that you’d maybe like to—”

Lena shifts in her seat, crossing her legs in what is bound to become a devastatingly seductive pose, but the barstool decides in exactly that moment that's it’s finally had enough. Lena yelps as it gives out beneath her with a dramatic snap, one of its rickety limps flying across the floor as if celebrating its first taste of freedom, and Kara’s never considered herself to be very quick, but here she is anyway, on the other side of the counter in what feels like less than a second, one hand gripping Lena’s forearm, the other slipping smoothly around her waist.

“—fuck,” Lena gasps up at her. She feels good, in Kara’s hands, slight but pleasantly heavy, like the santoku knife Alex has forbidden Kara from touching ever again. “Well,” Lena says. “That’s. Perhaps not the way I would have phrased it, especially in front of your friend—”

They both glance over at Alex, but she’s disappeared, the swaying of the kitchen doors the only indication she was ever there.

“O-kay,” Kara says.

Lena grins. “Okay?”

Kara mentally rewinds the conversation and feels her ears burn at the realization of what she just agreed to. “I mean,” she amends. “We could, maybe, grab something to eat first?”

Something devious sparks in Lena’s terrifyingly gorgeous face. She glances down at Kara’s arms before blinking back up at her again and smirking. “I thought you already had.”

And, goodness gracious.

Kara is about to be in so much trouble.

[that-one-kiddo-in-the-back]

Fandoms creepy obsession with torture... Lily doesn't understand depression or trauma.

I've been sitting on this one for a while, so let's dig in. Today's word of the day is "Martry," a person who is killed for a belief.

Right off the bat, Lily starts talking about how we as a fandom is obsessed with the torture of WOC using Korra, Luz, and Anne and an example for a dark joke she made in her moon girl review and in this video she's only gonna be using Korra, Luz, and some She-ra.

She starts with Korra and the torture she experienced with the red lotus, the group that's been trying to kill Korra ever since she was born, and how in her Korra is garbage she was pretty harsh for how it portrays her trauma at the final season. She then goes on to explain the torture scene, how you saw everything in all its gory detail, makes a small insult towards Korra's VA, then how she's tossed around like a rag doll then almost suffocated with the end of all that being shown Korra weakly reaching for her father before she passes out... "a heartbreaking shot that is under cut by the sheer sadisticly glee the writers had when the tortured Korra." Something I found kinda funny was that in her long ass Korra is garbage video, she complained that you didn't see a dictator...acting like a dicktator. Korra is the main character in a made for teen show made in 2012, so yeah, you're gonna see the poor girl getting beaten down. In the 2010s, a lot of shows that were aimed for teenagers showed a bunch of main characters getting beaten down with barely any psychological effects. Teen wolf, young justice, the fosters, your name, and Chronicle all shows during the 2010s that displayed pretty horrific scenes of torture or just getting beaten up and that wasn't because of the fandom or the writers being fucking weird it was more of a trend that started out of nowhere.

Lily then decided to call that all torture porn all because Korra's trauma is erased, with there still some mercury in her body. She then goes on about "how people said that Korra's behavior is realistic because that's what people think trauma looked like you being sad and demotivated." She continues by explaining that trauma is deeper than which is true to a degree. That fact is trauma is not one thing. You can be depressed and not even want to get out of bed, which changes how you think. Lily thinks that just because Korra was able to slowly pick herself up that she's back to normal and not bothered by almost getting killed to which I say Lily did you really want to see Korra have panic attacks and constantly hallucinat? Because it sounds like you do.

At the end of her talking about Korra, she finishes it by saying that the torture wasn't necessarily and a big fuck you to character development and that it was just the writers getting off to the idea of torturing women... now to Luz.

Lily starts out by saying that Dana terrace is really into depressing and the macabre, but on a fan girl surface level and still thinks creepy pasta is cool (keep that shit out of your mouth Lily) Lily really can't help herself but to drag women/nb/transmen creators through the mud in her Korra section she didn't name drop or even show a picture of the creators or writers even though she said the men where showing off their creepy "torture fetish" before watching this I watched her video on Catra and Adora's relationship and how abusive Catra is and Lily called ND Stevenson a Creep and an abuse fetishist and I think this all comes from a place of jealousy because they were able to make something amazing and be green light for shows where no one is a right mind would trust Lily with a five dollar bill.

After Lily was finally able to pull herself away from talking shit on female creators, she finally started talking about Luz's trauma, bringing up how, in the last episode of the first season after Eda was dragged away she starts to fight Lilith and says that was her trauma response which it's not really. Eda being captured was the beginning of the traumatic experiences Luz was gonna go through. As the show went on, you can see more of Luz blaming herself for things out of her control. Even when it was the smallest thing, she'd go way out of her way to make it up. Luz's trauma response is trying to fix what she broke she's the kind of person that would bring treats as an apology and tell the person she wronged how sorry she is for a week.

Lily then goes on to complain that in season 3, she doesn't do anything she mops around instead of trying to fight like in season 1, but a lot has happened between 1 and 3 Luz's trauma and depression all falls from her blaming herself for everything that happened.

Eda being captured, seeing her mother and the promise she made, failing to attend her father's grave, seeing all of the past golden guards empty helmets, watching Hunter get dragged under by belos, finding out she help belos met the collector who in turn gave him the draining spell, and the final nail in the coffin being King sacrificing himself to protect her resulting in Luz and her friends being stuck in the human realm with no idea if their parents and family are alright. Who the fuck wouldn't be depressed after all that?! She says she wanted a scene where Luz talks about her trauma which she already does she talks to her mother she knows that everyone else isn't having a good time either so she doesn't want to talk about it. If you found out all of your friends were not doing so hot, would you really want to bother them with your problems? That's the thing with deep deep depression it makes you think the world would be better off without you. That you're a pest to your friends and family and that they would be happier without you, which isn't true, and even when you know that you can't stop thinking that anyway. Lily talks about depression like it's something easy to get over with, that if Luz just really sat down and talked about it, she'd instantly feel better and go back to her ass kicking self but that fact that she didn't Luz is now a terrible girlfriend.

Now, we all know how Lily deals with people who have crippling depression which to say she kicks them to the curb and dusts off her hands of the situation. Remember Lily broke up with someone who was in a horrible state of depression saying that she was being toxic and a waste of time, and to that, I say what kind of a cruel person ditches someone like that?

She calls Luz a shit person for having crippling depression for not talking about the root of her self blame. Luz has been keeping her role in helping belos with the mass genocide and other things a secret and lies because she believes the truth would hurt them more she's not being a shit person on purpose. Luz never expected her friends to paddle her bad behavior or to even shower her with affection she's expecting the opposite. She thinks that if she tells them the truth, they will look at her with disgust and leave her, you know, like the mind trap the collector put her in that showed her worst nightmare. That you would have known if you watched it!!!

Lily once again blames Dana for not having a crying scene when her show was canceled, and instead, we got a realistic depiction of crippling depression. She goes back on calling everyone in the fandom creepy fucks that like our slow burn hurt with no comfort fics and how we like it even more when it's with women and black people. Now I like my edgy fan fiction, and it's not because I like seeing black women getting tortured. I simply like it as an outlet. I like seeing strong men and other characters at their lowest. Seeing how people write out how they would react most of the stuff I read, I would never want to happen to me or my loved ones. Hell, if my friends tell me their in a depressed state, I'm not gonna leave them to dry (like some people).

Lily also really has the biggest balls to call professional writers bad when she only writes fanfiction she's done it with RS, ND, and Dana. As if she could do better. I write fanfiction, and I would never put myself up there with actual show writers and published authors she brings up her shit Star Wars fic, saying how her fan base around the story wanted to see the angst that she scrapped out then proceeded to call them all racist and sexist for wanting angst. This shows that her fic is so boring that people want to see more things happen.

And now we are finally towards the end of this garbage video, where she brings up how, in her personal life, she used to like being called names, and her "friends" told her it's just a kink and it doesn't mean anything but her therapist told her it's a problem she then goes onto say that she was making herself worse until she met people who loved her and that kink went away... now I'm glad she was able to fix her own problem, but that's not a universal thing. Some people need outlets, and kinks can sometimes help. It's not for everyone but to call people liars, freaks, and judge them for their own outlets is a fucked up thing to do.

Lastly, no writer has the intention of having their audience of kids jacking off to torture scenes. I think that says more about you, Lily, if that's what your conclusion was. The writers weren't freaks because you thought it was hot.

Do yourselves a favor and don't take mental health advice or writing advice from Lily.

Pastra just said that the reason they got into horror because their first interaction with horror was a skydoesminecraft review of a creepy pasta mod, specifically Jeff the Killer.

What a wild lore drop on the Quinnamon stream right now.

[evas-spn-thoughts]

s01e02 - Wendigo

So now it's time for me to sit down and watch/review Supernatural s01e02. 

I just want you to know I have a glass of wine and I’ve just made and eaten some lovely pasta.

I don’t have anything to say beyond that, I just wanted to set the scene.

We have the first of our non brother related openings to episodes, it's weird to have it after the title screen. We get the creepy campsite, a guy gets grabbed, and we get the growling that a Wendigo episode deserves. 

This won't be the last mystery death opening, Supernatural gets very good at them, but also some of them are rubbish, this one in this episode is very good.

We get a well acted scene from one Jared Padalecki, he's brought flowers to Jess's grave. Jess will be the first of many people that Sam feels responsible for. We very quickly discover it is a dream, which is a shame, I'd like to think Sam would have gone to Jess's grave - they spent a week at the College after her death so maybe he did. 

We then cut to a very lovely moment where Dean is clearly worried about his brother, he asks if Sam is okay - Sam does the true Winchester response of 'yeah, I'm fine'. He asks if Sam had a nightmare - Sam coughs in response.

It’s not like those dreams will be super important to the plot or anything… not at all.

Dean is clearly worried about his brother, and Sam is not being forthcoming about how he's feeling, so Dean asks if he wants to drive. This clearly is not something Dean offers often, as Sam remarks on the fact that Dean 'has never once asked him that'.

We discover John is sending them 'to the middle of nowhere'.

They head to the coordinates John sent them, and immediately are looking for clues as to where John is. 

Sam very quickly lies and says that they are students, but is caught out, and Dean goes along with what the man assumes them to be. This is a funny exchange, as in the last episode, Sam did not want to be lying about credit card scams and being marshalls, but when he lies now, he uses part of the truth - he is/was a student. Whereas Dean, when he was called out, just made the man feel like he was correct and went along with it. Sam will get better at lying to people who don't matter, and Dean will continue to let people assume things, even if they are wrong.  

We get a stupid comment from Dean about Hailey being a 'pistol' and that could be to try and make it seem like he knows her, but it's also a stupid 2005 comment to try and make Dean seem like a womaniser or misogynist (as a side note, Dean isn't really a womaniser, sure he's a flirt, but he's not slimy about it and often I think he flirts because he's lonely, or it's what he thinks he's meant to do. Dean also flirts when he is uncomfortable so there's that). 

However, this comment also gets him more information about the situation, though once they leave, funnily enough Sam is immediately wanting to move on and head off to the specific coordinates, but Dean seems to have his hunters instincts turned to 11, because he clearly sees that something could be going on in the town, and wants to know 'what they are walking into'. This is a moment meant to show that Sam is maybe not in his right mind or thinking rationally about their next moves. 

They meet Hailey, Dean says they are Rangers. He gets impressed when she compliments his car, she's not flirting, he's not flirting, but she complements Dean's most prized possession, so he likes her. He doesn't try flirting with her when they are learning about his brother, he is completely professional. 

This is just an instance to highlight where it could be acted/taken as sleazy flirting, but it's not. I mentioned that Dean gets painted as a womaniser a lot, by writers, the fans, even by Sam, but so far I am not seeing it - again, it's not to say that he doesn't flirt, it's just not constant or overbearing. 

They look into the 'bear attacks' that have happened in the area, and go and see a man named Shaw about them. Shaw is hesitant to explain what he actually saw claiming 'they wouldn't believe him'. 

Sam and Dean are very good at convincing people they will believe what their story is, this is a trend that will continue throughout the show, they are very good at comforting and believing people, because they do, they believe them.

The boys decide to tag along with Hailey and her hired guy Roy. Dean 'doesn't do shorts' apparently - we will see this isn't true in s11.

From now on until the end of the episode we see a very interesting side to Dean, that is his relationship/interactions with older, military, commanding men and how he interacts with them. These interactions are usually Dean and a man who looks down on Dean, who maybe see's his pretty face and disregards him as a credible threat or player in what the scenario is.

Dean immediately starts questioning Roy about what he hunts and 'if anything hunts him back'. He's pushing at Roy, winding him up, but Roy, through saving him from a bear trap, show's Dean that he knows what he is doing.

Hailey calls out that the boys are not Rangers - well done to her, call them on their B.S.

Dean and Sam have some great non-verbal brother communication and both agree to tell her the truth, so Dean explains what they are doing there.

After he explains, she asks why they didn't tell her from the start, and Dean says 'I'm telling you now'. Then he mentions how this is probably the most honest he's ever been with a woman, which... just isn't true, in 11 episodes from now we will know that definitely isn't true. It clearly took a few episodes for the writers to give Dean some depth, and it probably helped that Jensen just doesn't play Dean as a one note character, even 2 episodes in, with no real backstory to him, I don't believe this is the most honest he's been with a woman, that feels like a lie. 

We see the camp... destroyed, and the brother's competency at hunting, they track that the campers have been dragged off and might still be alive, Dean notes that it isn't a black dog or skinwalker.

They start to put together that it isn't a person, and go off to look in John's journal, as the title suggests, they work out that it is a Wendigo, even though they shouldn't be 'this far west'. 

We get a situation where Sam wants to take charge and get everyone out of there. Roy gets aggressive and belittles Sam and his ability, Sam gets aggressive back and he gets in Roy's face - note that Sam is definitely not afraid to get into anyone's face and be aggressive. 

Sam is not emotionally stable in this episode, he is very reactionary about everything, doesn't want to sit around and get the information, and this interaction further proves that because he has no time for anyone's nonsense - which isn't like him, he is no nonsense, but he thinks about others. 

Dean gets involved, calms Sam down, and immediately sets up the next moves for the group - he uses that as motivation to calm everyone down.

We get another moment of Dean parenting/big brothering Sam. He mentions how Sam is clearly not fine, how Sam being so aggressive and doing first, asking questions later is just not like him. Sam talks about how John clearly isn't there, he would have left a clue/message. Dean doesn't think John's ever been there. 

In a very un-Sam-like move, he wants to get everyone safe and abandon the hunt to go and find John.

Dean makes the now famous comment about John wanting them to carry on the family business.

'I think he wants us to pick up where he left off... Saving People, Hunting Things. The Family Business'. 

Sam makes some valid points about John having a massive communication issue with his boys, which yeah, he's a Winchester, they don't make things easy for anyone - also John is just a dick. 

John and Sam's similarities come out during this scene though, and show how different Dean is to both of them. Sam wants to very quickly find Jess's killer and I would assume take revenge. However Sam desperation to avenge Jess feels like the exact same way John is desperate - even 22 years after her death - to avenge Mary. Whereas Dean is trying to highlight how patience is needed - clearly not having that same desperation. 

We get a beautiful moment from Dean, where you understand that Dean hunts because he saves people, he mentions that their family is messed up, but 'we can save some others, it makes things a little more bearable'. Dean implies that he thinks that in some ways their family is past saving, that they are 'screwed to hell', which may be the first inclination of Dean's truly awful self worth issues - and also this is the first idea that the Winchesters have some kind of 'curse' on their family, because as seasons go on, we see more and more that the Winchesters have had problems in their family since before the boys started to hunt. 

We hear the Wendigo, and while the boys try to keep everyone together, Roy runs off. Despite Dean not really liking Roy, he follows him, because Dean will try and save everyone - no matter who they are or if they have disrespected him.

We get the big game plan, and even bigger lore exposition. Wendigo's just sound kinda awful and scary, but they die via fire, so there's that. 

I do love both boys explaining lore, because they are both very intelligent, and I like when the show shows that about both of them, one isn't the brains and one isn't the brawn, they are both exceptional at all of it - with Dean probably being the best hunter out of any of them by the end of the show.

Dean and Hailey get taken by the Wendigo, so Sam and Ben go after it into its lair to get them back. Dean is strung up with Hailey, and Sam gets them down. We do get good news... Tommy is alive!!!! And they have flare guns. 

Dean uses himself as bait to try and lure in the Wendigo - 'do you want some white meat bitch? I'm right here'

God bless the cgi from 2005, they try their best. 

The darkness helps it not look as awful, but oh dear - I love the colouring of the first 5 seasons, but the increase in technical abilities from the later seasons is missed when I watch s1.

Oh Dean Winchester, you can't let anything be sincere for too long can you. 

Dean 'cheapens the moment' because this is normal for him, I think he feels like he's letting himself down when he isn't saving people so this is just normal for him, he saved someone... so what, he doesn't see himself as having done anything heroic by saving people, he is just doing his duty and anyway, its his responsibility. He gets awkward in moments of sincerity when he doesn't feel like he deserves to be thanked.

I like Hailey, there really are no vibes between her and Dean other than respect - which we see a lot of in later seasons between Dean and female characters. Dean is personable and he makes friends easily but he very quickly feels a responsibility to protect them. Dean and Hailey are no different. If anything, the later seasons show that Dean interacts with women in an easier and more natural way than Sam, he seems to have a closer relationship with every woman on the show - maybe apart from Rowena.

As a side note, I hate seeing Sam drive, I'm sorry, but it feels wrong, it isn't the Supernatural I know, and I don't like it - I'm glad they very quickly realise that Sam and Dean have different relationships to the Impala and what Baby actually means to them, and I'm glad Jackles was possessed by Dean enough to feel as protective of her as Dean does, and also it sounds like Jared wasn't a very good driver of Baby.

Overall, Wendigo is a fine episode, I enjoyed this rewatch, but it doesn't leave a lasting impact on me like some of the very best Supernatural episodes can. It is just run of the mill monster of the week.

Huh so I watched the Nostalgia Critic uh… review? parody? fever dream? of The Wall and besides the general WTFness of it…

(and I don’t mean, btw, that OOOOH this WEIRDNESS is TOO MUCH for my SMOOTH NORMIE BRAIN, I mean, wtf, this channel that normally does straightforward movie reviews with little skits uploaded a 40 minute fan film complete with a soundtrack for sale and seven minutes of nightmare fuel CG)

I mean look I generally don’t agree at all with the take in this episode. I DO think The Wall is a bit self-important, and I have other criticisms of it besides, but I think the critique presented shows that these guys completely and totally missed some extremely important historic and cultural context, in a way that’s very puzzling,

But worst of all, there is no fucking way I’m willing to listen to a derivative, fake-edgy, deviantart hazbin hotel wannabe anthro character lecture me about how the animated characters in The Wall could have been more interesting. Look I don’t know anything at all about Satellite City, literally, I have never fucking heard of it before, so maybe it’s brilliant and I’m stupid. Just seeing them in this video though, I don’t have anything else to go by except these extremely unappealing internet creepy pasta bad CG characters being shoved in my face.

“I personally would have preferred if the animated characters in The Wall were more developed and integrated more into the movie” is a totally valid take, “this is not a genre of animation that I enjoy” is totally fine, but “the animated trial is objectively weak because the characters are not the same as the contemporary anthro shit that I like, here look at my derivative characters as an example of how they could be better” is not really an argument I will accept. Like. No. What a bizarre-ass take.

Anyway.

[glapplebloom]

It hurts...

Have you ever heard of Zero Punctuation? I’m pretty sure you have but if you haven’t it is a Video Game Review series hosted by Ben “Yahtzee” Croshaw. What you may not know is that he also made some games of his own. Four of these games are part of a Quadrality known as the Chzo Mythos. These games are 5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes, and 6 Days a Sacrifice. 5 Days introduce us to the series. 7 Days takes place FAR into the future, but it is Trilby’s Notes that really brings in the main Antagonist of the series: Cabadath.

Also known as the Arrogant Man, Cabadath’s story takes place in 55 BCE (Before Common Era). He was once an ordinary druid who sought power to defeat the Roman General Suetonius Paulinus and his forces. So on the day where the Realms of Magick and Technology barriers were weakened, he sought to summon a demon called Chzo and capture him for his power. But Chzo was bigger than the Arrogant Man expected. So to punish this fool, Chzo took him into the realm of Magick to punish him. 

This led to Chzo imprisoning the arrogant fool’s soul into an oak sapling where his home once stood. So for over 500 years he was trapped, being tortured for all that time to the point that he was no longer the Arrogant Man he once was. He has become the Prince, the ultimate servant of Chzo in the Realm of Technology. And when a poor Lumberjack cut down the tree, The Prince known as Cabadath was born. And his mission is to ensure that everyone knows the name of the King. And for many years, he has served his Pain God well.

In 1501, the Norseman Woodcutter became the first victim of Cabadath. His son was spared so that he could spread the story to others. And wherever that wood goes, so does horror and someone to tell the tale. When it was used to build an Inn, it killed anyone who was foolish enough to stay in. When that wood was made into a harpsichord, Cabadath made the person who bought it kill his lover and would have killed him if he didn’t promise to spread the name of Chzo. And that person would create a cult known as the Order of the Blessed Agonies. And when that wood was turned into a crate, a young kid turned it into an idol originally to represent good fortune. And it resulted in the death of everyone on board.

That Idol would eventually become something important as it was the catalyst to the events of 5 Days a Stranger. For when Sir Roderick DeFoe bought it, he used it to beat his deformed son to near death. This in turn split the poor child into three forms: the Mind, the Body and the Soul. By destroying the three at precise time, he would become the Bridge for Chzo to enter into the World of Technology. And Cabadath thought that was the original intention of his master. 

Sometime before 6 Days a Sacrifice, Cabadath found out the true intentions for Chzo’s Bridge, to replace him with the New Prince. So his goal is to destroy the Mind of the poor DeFoe Child before the bridge could be opened. But by doing so, he actually gave the New Prince the Blessing of the Three Sacred Agonies and giving him everything he needed to become the New Prince: Cabadath’s Power, the Sacred Agonies, and a clone of a particular person to torment until the Body of DeFoe is destroyed in the far future. And with that Cabadath became the Arrogant Man once more and was killed off by the New Prince. And he knew the Name of the King. 

It is such a fascinating story. And you can see how this inspired a particular creepy pasta known as Slenderman. With his ability to teleport and seemingly kill with inhuman strength, he could be a match for any ghoul. So if you ever need an idea for a Halloween Vs fight, might I recommend the Tall Man, the Arrogant Man, the Former Prince, Cabadath... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts... It hurts...

GDI brain.

I will NOT flesh this ReviewerVerse!AU ANY further. ISTG...

I can see Remus reviewing exploitation flicks and horror movies. Definitely demonetized, does not give A FUCK.

Virgil probably cameos with Remus there on horror. Also reviews manga/anime (mighta had a huge special with Junji Ito w/ Remus) and creepy pasta content.

Roman, entire Disney/Pixar oeuvre. Also musicals, because of course. Might branch out into Marvel.

Logan, video games and comic books. Will probably collab with Roman on Marvel stuff. Might encourage a look into other companies like Dark Horse and DC...

Patton, toy reviewer. Remus constantly trying to trick him into reviewing *tugs collar* other kinds of toys.

Janus, hmm, want to say book reviewer. Collabs with Logan a bunch there. Probably a more generalist film reviewer.

I need some money to clear out a family member's hoarded workspace. I have multiple sclerosis so I need access to physical therapy and a space to work from home- clearing out the basement is the easiest option for both.

If you could reblog this too, I'd really appreciate it.

I moved out to this small town to take care of my aging family, but I've been hoarded out of having my basic needs taken care of. Because of my health, there are few jobs available I can take, so I would like access to the basement workspace so I can work from home. There is also no transport so my physical health is falling as well, and this would be a healthy space for physical therapy.

I have cleaned up most of the house myself. The basement stairs are the final obstacle and I need help overcoming them. Please help, and thank you for reading.

skinamarink review and thoughts

im obsessed with this movie. this is going to be such a long ramble but I feel like I want talk about it because it was super visceral for me. first of all I want to say that im not unfamiliar with online horror and analogue series on YouTube. I've been following args and various online horror since like 2016 when I first discovered it. im also aware that Ball is a YouTube horror creator and draws a lot of his inspiration from nightmares people submit to him and being in the horror community kind of on YouTube as well. There were a few things (that I'll point out) that were too on the nose for me to ignore. 

actually first ill bring up the obvious and direct influence by the Mandela catalogue, which is relatively new compared to other YouTube analogue horror series. There are parallels between the shots of the hallways/dark doorways/bedrooms/other house features with nothing really scary or different about them (think amityville horror) but that unnerve you in some way. Thats basically what every shot in skinamarink was. And also the disembodied voice vaguely (sometimes directly) threatening the kids but never actually being seen. Felt so similar to the “alternatives” from TMC. And of course the 911 conversation also was reminiscent of the series. but I think thats where ill stop talking about that

when I was looking up other reviews or theories on this movie I saw a lot of people bringing up liminal spaces, another relatively new creepy pasta to crop up which I was initially interested in but was quickly taken over by traumacore zoomers to the point I don't find it intriguing at all. I don't see anything in this movie as being “liminal”, because there's no reason to believe there's anything transitionary going on. there is no exchanging of energies, and its not somewhere that “I think I may have been before, in a dream, etc”. the movie takes place entirely in the same walls of the same house, you can't even go to another area if you chose to because the doors and windows are gone. I got the feeling that it's supposed to be familiar. all the shots with no real context of walls and conners and ceilings, those are all the things that come together to make up your childhood home. The movie was entirely shot in Balls childhood home, with his own toys and blankets. I got the feeling that I was looking at the memories of a house, or rather the knowledge of a house. When you're a kid, you know your home pretty intimately. I remember small corners and feeling weird peering around walls down hallways in my home as a kid. there's something different about the house you know and have spent every day of your life in when you see it in the dark. And thats what I think the feeling that Ball was trying to evoke comprised of; the feeling of being scared in your own home in the dark as a child. thats not groundbreaking, I know that what's everyone got out of the movie. I just wanted to say I think it comes from a place of familiarity rather than a place of uncertainty. And I disagree with the connection to “liminal spaces” because it's a creepy pasta thats been blown up into something kind of different than the actual definition. one way I see this familiarity expressed is the way the kids never run from fear. The children seem to move quietly through the house without much of a worry about something chasing after them, or lurking in the darkness. they never turn on more than a flash light or a lamp, there's never more than one lightscource besides the TV. Don't you think if these kids were scared of the house they may have turned on a few more lights, or maybe ran down the hallways fast as possible only to collapse onto the couch, hiding in the blankets and pillows? 

I do think there's another way that “liminality” can come into play, and thats through the story that I think is being told. In the reviews I previously mentioned there was a lot of talk abut how the father or perhaps both the parents are neglectful and abusive and the kids are experiencing trauma because of it. There is the part in the beginning that sets us up to think this, where the dad says that Kevin hit his head but he's okay. This could also be seen as a set up for an explanation of the events, but I'll talk about that a little later. I don't think the children are being abused, because I don't think there's anything to lead us to believe that, although this movie is quite clearly up to interpretation. I related it so much more to being a child and seeing your parents get divorced/having issues with each other. the only information we get about the parents is that the dad is gone and the mom is “Always crying” and the kids don't want to talk about her. Im still unsure of whether the mothers in the house at all, or if the parents are already separated and the mother lives by herself somewhere. (remember when the children were confused as to where their dad was, and one of them suggested “maybe he's with mom”?). I remember when my parents were getting divorced and my sisters and I kind of had to turn to each other to do things. me being the oldest, I was the one to get cereal for my siblings or to get blankets from the hallway when we decided we were sleeping in the livingroom. Our parents were too preoccupied with whatever they were doing throughout the separation that majority of the time it felt like my sisters and I were alone, watching tv to distract us. Mom was crying, dad was at work, and we only had each other. I also think this is why we saw the doors and windows disappear. it can feel so lonely and isolating to be going through a divorce as a family. it can make you feel like the house that you know isn't the house that you thought it was. the parents you had no longer even live together, the house may feel scarily empty or even haunted. this is where I feel like the liminality of the movie comes in to play. the children are in a transitionary period between the family being together and the family being separated. Particularly I felt this as we saw the toys slowly disappear, and then later saw them all stored within a strange long hallways; all the legos, dollhouses, and stuffed animals being shoved deep into the back corner of a strange place you're not even sure is really a part of the house. I saw this as their childhood being sucked up into their childhood home, only being able to recall the memories within the house but not being able to access the childhood itself. 

it really made my heart hurt to see those kids calling 911 and not getting any reception. I can relate too much to feeling like no one can help you, and even the people that you thought you can always rely on being unavailable to you. another way the movie speaks to divorce IMO. 

there are some things in this movie that seem to want us to believe that this is all just a dream/coma of Kevins. the cartoons initially show children in bed, rolling around in the covers, drifting off into a dream world, and even with little birds flying around their head. all of which seem to lead to the conclusion that the fall Kevin took in the beginning of the movie is the cause of all the strangeness going on. I think this was given as an option, maybe? to the viewers who aren't into reading deep into the feelings of a movie and more so just want an explanation like “this is all trauma from abuse! its all a dream! its all a concussion from the fall they mentioned once in the beginning!” just seems like an easy cop out, but also gives a choose your own adventure vibe.

there are a few aspects of the movie that have more of a spiritual or supernatural (however you think of it) explanation that doesn't tie in perfectly with my above theory. the toys being stuck to the wall, the chair appearing on the ceiling, the parents being in the bedroom and disappearing, Kevin finding himself on the ceiling and walking upside down, I think that the film is being split between waking hours and sleeping hours. if I were to rewatch it I would tell you when the switches happen. I should also mention, now that im deep into this thought, that I haven't seen Heck or any of Balls other short films. im pretty sure he refers to the night/day cycle in Heck. I think I'll give it a watch today. But, I think the cartoons on the TV tell us what we need to know about what's going on with the kids. Some of what we see are actually dream sequences. I think this is expressed when we see the doors randomly opening and closing (after the beginning section of the movie, which I believe is the kids looking around for their father), and when the vis and teddy bear etc is being pushed up against the wall. I think the blood spatter and walking on ceilings is also part of a dream. The significance of the white rabbit scene being played over and over again simultaneously representing the feeling of falling asleep watching something on VHS as a kid and seeing it skip, or hearing it skip and replay the same thing over and over again subconsciously (because your asleep) and having it be communicated into your dreams, and also this is representative of going through something scary as a child and having the event happen over and over again in your mind.

I don't think Kevin actually stabbed his eye, despite seeing blood all over the kitchen and being led to believe it really did happen. I think this was also a dream sequence. and when it was asked “you did that? how did you do that?” with the response of “I can do anything”, followed by Kevin walking around on the ceilings, this was Kevin realizing that he wasn't actually hurt or that his eye was “healed”, and that in a dream you can do anything you want. I think the ceiling walk was something of a OBE or astral projection or lucid dream, however you want to call it. I think Kevin was letting his mind run wild, getting fitful sleep alone on the couch, dreaming of being caused harm, harming himself, realizing he isn't harmed, and realizing he can do anything in his sleep. I don't think that these are necessarily plot development scenes, I think they are mores vibe scenes like the intro. TO put us into the perspective of a child having strange dreams that still take place in your childhood home. 

I can't really figure the significance of 572 days, or whether Kaylee was with Kevin for that whole time or if she died or if she disappeared into the house. I think the house “took” her eyes and mouth similar to how it took the doors and windows (the eyes and mouth of a house) so show that she is older and ore understanding of what's going on in their family. And more understanding of what it means to be left alone and isolated. I am starting to loose my train of thought but I am so obsessed with figuring this out and assigning meaning to it that I'll likely come back and write more. 

Oh the last thing I wanted to say is that the ending with the face in the static was soooo remiscient of that 4chan /x/ story of the face in the static of a super 8 hotel. nothing besides the imagery makes me draw a connection between the two. There is also a significant connection to house of leaves (specifically the navidson record) that I would love to analyze, but id have to re-consume the two side by side and im not ready to do that yet. if you have anything to say or you want to talk about it pls message me because im a psycho and I can and will talk a lot more about it

My first experience in realizing *what* Splatoon was happened back when PeanutButterGamer released his review on the game, when Splatoon was “Nintendos Answer to Call of Duty” was how everyone described it because it’s 2016. My actual first experience, just seeing Splatoon, was a ****ing Profasia Gaming all bosses YouTube video, where I was enraptured by what I thought was some forgotten Xbox game I never heard about. Ironic, huh? Then I got the game for my birthday, and I was there for the very first Cats Vs. Dogs Splatfest. I don’t remember the team I chose, but I remember the splatposts, the inbox, the inside jokes, and when Splat Tim was a fresh new meme.

Splatoon was my exposure to the concept of OCs. I remember seeing fan agents, and the green giant squid girl, and other characters people had made not realizing I could make my own character in an already established universe. I thought for a short while that the official names for the “two main characters” the Orange and Blue inklings were ink and some other squid related noun. But then I learned that these were characters people made for themselves, and that I could make characters for myself too. Once I did, I created nigh a dozen characters with their clothings and weapons in my head. I wish I wrote those inklings (and Octolings that were undercover) down.

The fan content was at an all time high, where I could read entire comics just by looking at google images since I didn’t have any social medias yet. YouTube had GMOD animations by LizzieRattcicle, Pooole, Spider, Mister Prawn, and so on. Comic Dubs, Creepy Pastas, anything I could find that I’d watch well into the morning, and sleep all day on a bean bag chair. I’d dream of being at Inkopolis, the raised balcony and massive open area being home to the hundreds angsty fanfictions I read on my phone on long car rides, listening to a single Siivagunner track on repeat for 6 hours all the while. The Living Tombstones song held a tragic chord to me at that time, thinking about what it must’ve been like to live in Inkopolis while watching the stylized music video with the limited cast of characters we had.

While I’ll likely never be as into the series as I was back then, even when Octo Expansion redefined the fandom as we know it, it’s one of the few times I look back on with complete satisfaction for. The Wii U was such an amazing console to be young on, unaware of the constant disappointments people had about the thing while I played Nintendo Land, Tank!Tank!Tank!, Pikmin 3, Sm4sh, Yoshis Wooly World, Mario Maker, Scribblenauts, Windwaker, New Super Mario Brothers U, and of course;

Splatoon.

I’ll likely not get the chance to play it one last time, but I’ll remember it fondly and nostalgically, as the first fandom I found that taught me to make art. Thank you Splatoon

Soon we'll say goodbye to Splatoon 1 online! (officially at least) Thanks for all the fun! Stay Fresh!

What were some of your favorite memories of playing it back then? ᔦꙬᔨ

Mind and Spirit

by Our Guild

One of the most interesting takes on the "conversion" type stories. One that breaks all the schemes and manages to be interesting and new. Could be also a Jeff posession story, so it could fit in the ghost part of the timeline, but even then it is an interesting thing to read

CW// blood, murder, guns, mindbreak, possesion, rape mention, blade, assault

Click below to read the original unedited story

Authors Note: Sup peeps. Minion here. Well my computer got wiped due to hardrive malfunctions so I lost everything I had been working on. Now I am starting new projects that I've been wanting to work on. I will be wrighting one more oneshot for December before I start releasing multichapter stories. As for this one, it was something I came up with in one of my many pondering and an attempt to have a more diverse library of fanfictions. I hope you enjoy it. As usual, nobody owns anything canon. Read, Enjoy, Review!

Mind and Spirit

Nineteen year old Luke Yancy sat at his computer while his TV ran in the corner of the dorm. Luke had always been a weird person. He wasn't weird in the matter that he looked strange besides the signs of sleep deprivation around his eyes, but it was more of his social awkwardness. He didn't hang out with the cool kids, or go to any parties. All his friends were still in high school. He mainly sat in his dorm and watch TV, play games, or read. In fact, there was one thing he did quite a bit. Luke had a fascination with the horror genre. He played horror games, watched documentaries about cryptids, and read creepy pastas.

This morning, however, his eyes were glued to the television instead of his computer. On said television was the news. There was a rather interesting headline.

Jeff The Killer Caught

Actually though, this was the second time that headline had appeared. Luke remembered the first time they caught someone called Jeff the Killer. It was suddenly all over the headlines that they caught some sicko who burnt off his eyelids and cut a smile onto his face. People started calling him the Joker and blamed it off the Dark Knight or something. To be honest it was bullshit. Luke knew the inspiration. Still, he was finally caught and now no one had to worry about him killing them at night. Or at least that's what he had thought. Then the name Jeff the Killer was heard again in the form of a bloody message on the wall of a victim.

"Jeff the Killer lives in spirit."

Nobody was sure what that meant. Some believed that Jeff was back in the form of a ghost while others believed that it was some crazy fan. However, what was certain was that this new Jeff the Killer soon started gaining a pretty high body count. That however, seemed to have ended today and the latter was proven correct. This man was different. He was middle aged with combed back brown hair and a mole in between his eyes. He had a crazed look as he laughed, being carried by a police man on each side.

"They deserved it! They deserved it you see! Each one of them! Cheaters, murderers, rapists! I gave them what they deserved! Hahaha!"

The news cut to the reporter as she started talking about the court case. It was painfully obvious that he was going to be put to death. Nobody could get away with killing so many people. No matter what evidence that could come up, they wouldn't let someone that dangerous live. Of course, this sentiment was re-told by the news anchor, confirming Luke's thoughts.

Honestly, the man was a fool. Jeff the Killer was already killed. To think that some crazed fan would take up the mantle and become Jeff the Killer II. This was clearly a psychotic man…. But still… to become Jeff the Killer in all but body… What must that have felt like? Luke couldn't help but ponder it. After all, Jeff the Killer was a feared name that held great notoriety and was very well known…

Luke shook his head before putting on a white hoodie and getting ready for classes. It's not like it was something that he would ever experience in his mundane life. Nothing exciting ever happened to him. It was one day after another. Attend classes, eat ramen noodles and pop tarts, and spend most of his free time studying.

Luke prepared to walk outside, sliding a pocket knife into his pocket and pulled his hood over his orangeish brown hair before going out of his dorm. The cold weather made him huddle deeper into his hoodie more. He didn't like it. He preferred warmth. Anything warm that he could huddle in was good. Especially since his shitty heating didn't work worth a damn. It made him angry. Why did underserving people live better lives than him. He who worked hard and barely slept for everything compared to those who just sat around and got everything they wanted. He who was barely living a life compared those who lived a life of luxury. He who was an honest worker compared to those who lied, cheated, and stole for their wealth.

Luke clenched his fist as he walked towards the class building. He walked in through a side entrance, it being closer and allowing him to get into the warmer building quicker.

Damn. It's still cold here.

Luke continued to walk into the building to where he would reach the lobby. There he paused. A man stood in the lobby, pointing a gun at several people.

"ALL YOUR MONEY! GIVE IT TO ME NOW!"

He yelled. The man hadn't noticed Luke walk in. He pulled out his knife. He would save these people from this man. Luke crept forward so that the man couldn't hear him, but with all that shouting, he doubted that the man could anyway.

Luke grabbed the man around the stomach with one arm, pinning the man's arms and used his knife hand to press against the man's throat.

"Drop the gun. Now."

The man made a noise that almost sounded like a choking one. He dropped the gun and it clattered to the ground. A trickle of blood touched Luke's hand.

It was warm.

Warmth.

He liked warm.

He wanted warmth.

He wanted more warmth.

He wanted to never be cold again.

He wanted to never be bullied again.

We wanted to protect everyone.

They wanted this.

This is what they wanted.

This is what the spirit wanted.

A grin came across Luke's face, the shadow of his hood covered his eyes.

"I don't think we've met before. My name is Jeff."

Luke pushed in the knife, warmth covering his arm. The man made a funny noise. It sounded like when you gargle water before spitting it out. It was a funny noise. But it was annoying. They wanted quiet now. The noise burned.

"Shhhh. Go to sleep."

The new archive 81 show has taught me a lot. Like I’d totally fall into a cult if the leader was cute and wore glasses.

Book review:

I haven't had any reading goals or plans this year. So i have just picked up any random books on my collection (classics, modern clasdics, YA, non-fic,etc), and to also make a dent on my TBR pile. Lately, I have decided to read books my teenage daughter reads or whatever interest her. So I read this book; Slender Man.

I love horror/creepy stories, that's something me and daughters share and enjoy, may it be movies, books, shows, or real life experiences (i grew up in a Bisayan household here in Manila, and they LOVE telling scary stories).

Now, im not very knowlegeable about the modern horror/creepy characters like Slender Man, and any character from Creepypasta, but i know enough from what my kids share with me, that Slender Man is very famous. According to my kids, SM was created by a guy for a contest to create a scary story from some material that is real. So he shop SM's character on the background of the pics of children, like its lurking, waiting get a child to take with him. The guy won, and the rest is history

I quite enjoyed this book. Its like the Blair Witch Project movie in book version. The story unfolds thru a series of phone messages, emails, letters, group chats, etc. Its a very light, fast read. At first it was boring, but by page 100+, i have to stop myself from finishing it overnight.

Recommended! Gave it ⭐⭐⭐⭐.

But the question that keeps on nagging me is: how does Slender Man chooses its victim? And how sure are you that its not lurking above you as you sleep?

Just read an amazing book

It's slenderman by About the Author these documents were collected by sources who wish to remain anonymous.(whoooo spooky).

It's a dope story told exclusively through

Diary entry's

Police reports

Reddit posts

And texts

It has the whole psychological horror what's real what's not. I'd tots recemend (spoilers ahead) so S.M (slenderman) dose not get mentioned till like half way through. And it doesn't have the whole shity creepy pasta writing. It's lods of character building and slow build up of stress. Like no bam jumps to conclusions and makes stupid decision right away like stress builds and builds until characters would beleved anything just so they can try and gain some control of the situation. Not your typical S.M story. With in the story it mentions marble hornets and how S.M isint real but it's the only thing that makes sense and who can you trust can you trust your own mind UwU soooooo spooooooky. Real easy read as well got through the book in a couple of days. <3
