Alien: Romulus

I am a gigantic fan of the Alien franchise, and something about me is that I am actually a giant fan of Prometheus (which got a lot of unnecessary hate in my opinion). Anyway, when I was watching this movie, I absolutely fell in love with it. I thought it was a great addition to the Alien franchise that added a lot to the universe, while also keeping the classic "Alien movie vibe" that everyone loves.

First of all, it had some great moments individually, but I loved the references to each and every one of the alien movies. I love when a franchise realizes that they should probably try and cater to the fans when they are creating something new. Adding those moments just makes the movie way more enjoyable to die-hard fans like me. It also adds a lot to the franchise because you can start to think about how this might connect to the other movies, since they referenced those movies in it.

Not only did this movie cater to the fans by adding all these references, but they also added something new that we haven't really seen before. This might be a spoiler so be prepared if you still haven't seen it, but the humanoid alien at the end of the movie (similar to the alien in Alien: Resurrection) was probably one of the scariest designs I've seen in this franchise in years. Now the xenomorphs have never really freaked me out, and when you watch all the movies you sort of get used to them, but this weird freaky thing was FREAKY. I did not want to look at it any longer, and it had one of the craziest jump scares that I just wasn't prepared for. Anyway, I loved this movie, and I wouldn't mind seeing more Alien movies with this storyline.

Rusty Lake Hotel

And Then There Were None

Rusty Lake Hotel is a point & click game in which you welcome 5 animal guests to your isolated hotel in the middle of a lake. Each day, you'll have to satisfy your visitors by serving them a tasty dinner made from ingredients you find by solving puzzles.

❤ A heavy, often morbid atmosphere, supported by dissonant music and sober settings. But also a second-degree touch that goes perfectly with the horrific side of the game. ❤ I appreciated the mystery surrounding the events and its probable connection with other games from the same studio. It makes you want to dig deeper. ❤ The puzzles are very diverse, sometimes funny, sometimes bloody, and neither too easy nor too hard.

✖ Too short (about 2 hours), like the guests, we were left hungry for more x) ✖ Not really replayable, except for completionists.

I'm discovering the world of Rusty Lake through this game and I can say that I really enjoyed immersing myself in it, even though it made me feel quite uncomfortable. My only regret is that it's so short; there should have been more guests…at the table ;)

Year in review!

I think I actually improved a lot this year! In technical skill, concepts and themes, and storytelling. I finished the Failgirl Fluttershy story, and got to spend time thinking about my characters and putting them into more environments, and talking about them more as well! I also reconnected with traditional painting and it's been so nice. Overall a very good art year for me!

Next year, my main goals are to improve in storytelling and writing, and do my first full length colored comic. As well, I'd like to continue working on environments, perspective, and items.

Thank you as always for your support through this year, I really like sharing my art with you guys.

Welcome to my blog!

My name is Madds, lovely to meet you all. Bit of a rebrand here, thanks for being patient with me.

As previously posted before I changed this, I said my interests in a very bleak & vague way, and allow me to rephrase myself.

I love;

Make up + hair (especially anything that has to do with cosmetology)

Fashion + understanding how body types look best in what (kibbe guides for example)

History. I love history.

Art and music; I can play the piano. I am learning to play guitar & violin. Painting and sketching aren’t my strong suits but I enjoy doing them.

Reading. I love to read. Anime, novels, trashy romances, you name it. PLEASE DO SEND ME RECOMMENDATIONS.

I’m currently finishing my first class of being a licensed massage therapist (LMT) and I plan on continuing my education through that. I work in a factory that is about to be laying me off, but I want to hang with it until the very very end. I plan on utilizing this blog to help me grow & glow as I continue through my 20s.

Silent Laughter: Chapter 1

I looked at my calendar. Twenty X’s for twenty days. I had no idea when, or if, my old life - the life where I was happy - was ever coming back. My guess was that it wasn't. People don’t just rise from the dead. But to be fair, after everything that had happened, I wouldn’t be that surprised.

I normally don’t mark my calendar as the days go by. I found it just made it messy. But I wanted to keep track of how long it had been since it had happened. And how long it would take until it found me hiding in my shed. How long could I survive? My family didn’t even make it for twenty days. How could I last one more?

Twenty-two days earlier:

‘I don’t know what we’re going to do Jimmy,’ my mother told me, as we sat on the couch together. ‘We could make an appointment with the doctor’s if you think that would help.’

‘Probably wouldn’t,’ I lied. In truth, I just didn’t want to go to the doctor’s place. There were too many sick people there. ‘I read a book once, where the main character would have nightmares, and the doctor’s told him to be very active throughout the day, so that by the time he went to bed, he would be too exhausted to dream anything.’

‘Did it work?’ My mum asked.

‘Yup.’

‘Fine. You can try it. But if it doesn’t work, we’re taking you to the doctor’s whether you like it or not,’ mum told me sternly. I nodded in reply. Anything to get me away from the doctor’s I thought.

I must not have been tired enough that night, because the sleep paralysis still happened. But this time it was different. Normally, a figure would be standing in the corner of my room, eventually to reveal itself as my mum, but with a distorted looking face. The creature would then laugh, without any noise, throwing its head back, a wide open smile forming, splitting open the face all the way to the ears, then ripping back, so the head from the mouth up would drop to the ground. The body would then turn into ribbons made of flesh, which would slither over to my bed and tie me to it. That’s when I would wake up in a cold sweat. 

But this dream was different. I saw a figure, not in the corner of my room, but at the front of my bed. It was hanging, by what seemed to be a silhouette of a noose. The figure’s back was facing me, but it was spinning around slowly to face me. When it did, I saw my mum’s face. Her regular face, not distorted in any way. She looked normal, the only thing different being her blue face. But as I looked closer I saw that that was not the only thing wrong.

She had no eyes.

Where they were supposed to be were just black holes. Even then she still seemed to be staring at me.

I woke up. I wasn’t sweating, but I felt really sick, like I was going to throw up. I looked at the clock across my room and saw that it was 3:11am. I threw my blankets off of me and walked out into the hallway, heading to my parents room. What I saw did make me throw up at my feet. When I looked up again I saw that I wasn’t crazy.

Hanging from the foot of the bed was my mother, her eyes missing,her face blue. Just like my nightmare.

Next Chapter ->

If you have any feedback or suggestions than please tell me. Please review if you like it. I am slowly loosing self confidence.

Eye of the Devil (1966)🏹

Director: J. Lee Thompson (Filmways Pictures)

Genres: Horror, Mystery, Occult, Cursed Lineage 🏰

Notes: French Vinyard, Lavish Interior Sets, Great Cinematography, Religion, Creepy Siblings, Magic Amulet, Cult Ritual Magic, Castle, Sharon Tate, David Hemmings, Black/White Film 🤍🖤

Review: There is almost a romantic quality to this film that took me for surprise from the start. The sparkle of the dresses and eerie buildup to the trance like acting of the siblings Odile and Christian played by Sharon Tate and David Hemmings which add a weirdness to the film that keeps things on their toes. The slow descent from dreamlike to nightmare for the main character was an enjoyable watch however there was a lot of unanswered questions left by the end. So prepare for things to just happen without explanation or context of meaning. This film does feel maybe slightly older compared to some of the other films coming out at the time with camera tech and fx but still a nice watch.

Overall I give Eye of the Devil (1966): Worth the Watch🍇

[thekimspoblog]

Amanda the Jedi called "Abigail" (2024) stupid, and it was, but I actually really enjoyed it!

The cinematography was good.

The titular character and the actress who played her were really good.

The plot had a lot of fun twists and turns. Stuff that you must admit, love it or hate it, has never been put to screen before.

I'm glad I watched the movie before seeing any reviews of it. Because there was a lot the trailer had the restraint not to give away.

I just finished: Smile for Me!

Like the idea of a weird adventure game about a cult surrounding smiles with a cool puppet? It would be weird to write this if this wasn't what this was so yeah that's Smile of Me. This was a game that completely passed me by, but I got in a small bundle and didn't expect much from it, but it definitely has much.

The game tasks you with making the residents of 'the habitat' smile, for instance by making this guy above smell like pickles (his lifelong dream) which is ostensibly what the place is for but Dr. Habit who runs it doesn't seem happy about you making others happy, so that's something for you to look into as well. The game has some pretty heavy stuff in it, it's not just pickle juice quests, so be warned - although it's not anything that would be unsuitable for kids or anything so don't be too warned.

The game is split up into days - which I think can go on for as long as you need so there's no rush - that end with you getting into a bed that seemingly wants to fuck you. If you don't get back in time you get a creepy little message from habit, and then wake up later the next day so you have less time for adventure game puzzles.

I wouldn't say the game is super obtuse - it has a lot of competition in it's space - but like most adventure games I would probably recommend having a walkthrough on hand just in case.

Grade: A - Yes it has some issues but it's SO GOOD and I'm a little upset it didn't blow up

Significance: 3/3 - Yeah not seen much like this at all. You have to look at it.

s01e05 - Bloody Mary

All I remember about this episode is to not say Bloody Mary 3 times in the mirror, and that at the end, there is a ton of mirrors.

And that's all I remember.

My review style is to type my thoughts scene by scene while I watch the episode, so I have no further thoughts on this episode yet.

Better people would probably watch the ep first while making notes, but I am not a better person so I make a whole post while the episode is on.

I do a lot of pausing while I watch 😂

Post watch edit, okay I'm not gonna lie, I kinda don't care for this episode, it's fine, but I just don't really care about it. I don't feel like on a second watch it carries forward the boys plot that much. Maybe that's because I know the reveals already, but yeah... I just don't care for it.

The opening is very strong on Sam's want to find Jess's killer, and Deans insistence on hunting.

It's a bit weird having the cold open happen after the title screen, I don't feel like that's what happens in later seasons.

Anyway... we open on a group of girls pressuring another girl to say 'Bloody Mary' 3 times into the bathroom mirror.

The girl does do it, and her friends bang on the bathroom door, because that's what's fun when you are a kid. Its definitely happened to me post horror movie when I was younger.

Her dad asks her and her friends to keep it down - fair enough. You then see him passing mirrors on his way back to bed and see a female form in the mirror, which is very creepy.

Then her older sister comes home and walks up the stairs to see a pool of blood in the bathroom.

It's a very good cold open, that is very creepy.

We get Sam in an oddly coloured nightmare. He sees Jess burning on the ceiling and engulfed in blue flames??? weird choice but okay.

Dean wakes him up, clearly worried about Sam. Dean implies that Sam hasn't been talking about his nightmares. 'You know sooner or later we're gonna have to talk about this'. This is an example of Dean clearly being open to talking about Sam's problems, whereas Sam is very much keeping tight lipped about all of this.

We find out they are in Toledo, Ohio.

The coroner is being very difficult in helping out the boys, who say they are students getting information for their paper. He is taking an attitude with Dean and not giving them any help. At one point he throws Deans words back in his face and Dean says to Sam that he is 'going to hit him in his face, I swear'. Dean isn't always very good with people trying to hold up their hunt and especially with men talking down to him, sometimes he turns it flirtatious in some way, but in this case the guy is closer to their age and he just gets annoyed... which, fair enough, the guy is a pain.

They end up having to pay this guy to show them the body, with Sam using Deans 'earned' money to do so. Dean gets an attitude about this because Sam didn't earn the money, Dean did, but Sam clearly sees money won 'in a poker game' as unearned or of less personal value.

Sam has a low opinion of the hunter lifestyle which we have already seen, and with his lower opinion of it comes a condescension towards Dean and how he gets them money. The show makes it seem like Dean is the one who gets the money for them, and Dean seemed genuinely annoyed that Sam gave it away.

There are headcanons all over the place for how far Dean has had to go to get money, one of which Jensen has helped put into the universe. I generally believe that it wouldn't be a stretch for Dean to have had to resort to some unsafe methods to make sure the family had money when John would go off and hunt and leave the boys alone, but I think that by s1 he is only hustling pool and using credit card scams and not having to resort to any other means. Later in the season the family's blasé attitude towards Deans lack of care for his person and the normality of Dean using himself as bait shows that they likely dont know how much danger his face and beauty could get him into.

The boys go to the house from the cold open, and we see that the younger sister blames herself and Bloody Mary for the father's passing. Dean reassures her 'he didn't say Bloody Mary, did he?'

They go on a wander round the house to see the crime scene, and there is a slightly funny moment where Sam doesn't want to say Bloody Mary in the bathroom.

They are caught by the sister's friend and Sam pulls the all emotional and caring card so that she doesn't call them out on snooping.

We get a short exposition scene of Sam explaining all about the lore of Bloody Mary and we see that they are in the library and the computers are out of order.

Jill is on the phone to Charlie, and decides to say Bloody Mary in the mirror... like an idiot. She says it and then screams to freak out Charlie, but after she hangs up and is getting changed we see Mary in the mirror in another very well done creepy scene.

Jill sees herself in the mirror and her reflection isn't copying her movements, which is scary. The reflection says 'you did it, you killed that boy' all the while her eyes are bleeding... again creepy. Jill then dies.

We get Sam having the same dream as before - the blue one - and Dean sitting across the room. Sam wants to know why Dean let him fall asleep and Dean says it's because he's 'an awesome brother'.

Charlie calls the boys about Jills death. They break into Jills room to see if they can find anything and Charlie is now 100% on side with the boys.

We find out that potentially Jill killed an 8 year old boy with her car - she did kill him, its just the friend only said it was Jill's car. His name was written on the back of the mirror.

We get another name on the back of the other mirror. We discover that she is Donna's mom, and by linking back, the assumption is that Donna's dad killed her mom.

We get some exposition about mirrors revealing secrets - which might be important later in the episode - and about who Bloody Mary is, and the boys go and see the old detective who dealt with Marys murder case.

The old detective states that 'Mary spent her last living moments trying to expose this guys secrets' which fair enough, I respect that. The mirror that was there when she died was returned to the family and the boys go and find out who has that mirror.

Meanwhile Donna and Charlie are in the bathroom and Donna is an idiot and says Bloody Mary 3 times in the mirror because she doesn't believe. Even if I didn't believe which tbh I don't, I wouldn't say it in the mirror if others had died, I'm not an idiot.

The boys are in the car talking about mirrors again, when Charlie phones, they get her to their motel, and Charlie starts to explain what happened.

But Dean very quickly explains that he means that she needs to explain her secret. Charlie explains that she had a loving but scary boyfriend, and they got in a fight, and he said that if she left, he would kill himself and she left and he did. The fact that the show paints this as Charlie believing that she is at fault is incredibly annoying, because he was being manipulative and it's not on her to stay with that.

Thankfully in the next scene, Dean says exactly that. But 'spirits don't exactly see in shades of grey' which is a great line.

Sam offers to summon Mary because just smashing the mirror isn't enough. He is very certain about Mary coming after him.

After this statement, Dean breaks about the Jess issue. He says that he's tired of Sam blaming himself, that it isn't his fault that the 'thing' got Jess. He says the nightmares are gong to kill Sam. He says it wasn't Sam's fault

He offers to let Sam take a swing at him if it'll make him feel better because Dean 'dragged him away from her'. Dean is big on allowing people to blame him for things that aren't his fault, and Dean clearly feels some sort of blame for Jess as he brought up Sam swinging at him very quickly.

I know keeping secrets is part of the Winchester brothers life story, but this whole 'I have a secret, and I'm going to tell you I have a secret, but I wont tell you what the secret is' thing is maddening. Sam is keeping secrets that he doesn't have to keep and believing that he has this more important journey to be on, but isn't letting Dean in on what the journey is or what the secret is.

Anyway... Sam summons Bloody Mary, and chaos happens.

We see the boys breaking mirrors, and then Dean has to go out and deal with the police and by deal, I mean that he tries to talk to them and instead knocks them out. All the while Sam is seeing evil reflection Sam, and we learn that Sam was dreaming of Jess's death for days before it happened and that he blames himself for ignoring them and trying to be 'normal'.

Mary then climbs out the mirror like a scary lady and is holding the boys down with power.

But never fear... Dean holds up a mirror and shows Mary her reflection in the mirror and Mary is vanquished.

The mirrors all broken should have given us an inclination of how unlucky the boys would be in life.

Sam tells Charlie she should forgive herself for her boyfriend's death, good advice, and Dean says that Sam should follow his own advice.

Dean asks again what Sam's secret is and instead of using this perfect opportunity to tell Dean, Sam doesn't. Again... maddening.

‎‘Alien: Romulus’ review by Katelyn • Letterboxd

[coridallasmultipass]

Okay, because I'm allowed to be a little weird about puppets and dolls on here, I need to share the new crochet(/knitting was optional) stitch markers I just got in the mail, because I am SO FUCKING STOKED TO USE THEM. (Only had a knitting WIP to model them with, I haven't started a new crochet project yet.)

THE EYES DO THE DOLL BLINK THING!! SO COOL! And teeth are just so #aes (I'm always gonna be thinking about like collecting teeth in the Alice: Madness Returns video game I was obsessed with. [Maybe I can paint them gold, even? Just an idea.])

This seller has so many whimsical fiber art related things (along with really gorgeous yarn I'm lookin' at). Like two years ago, I bought a facehugger cupcake stitch marker from them (along with slasher movie knife stitch markers!) Where in the world else are you gonna get creepycute unique items like these for all your yarn craft needs?!

Seriously, these are so freaking fun, I love them SO much. I definitely recommend the seller SillySheepDesigns on Etsy if you're a fiber art person.

https://www.etsy.com/shop/SillySheepDesigns?ref=yr_purchases

I'm not paid to say this, I'm just SO excited about having my weirdness needs met.
