#funeral scene SCREAMS helene to me. that woman loves to haunt

[thalassous]

theres something to be said about WHICH terrible woman media we are talking about here because. importantly, both mean girls and heathers have VERY different plot points. war and peace American High School Au is a very interesting alley to go down, but there are interesting dichotomies in each. (im positing pierre is veronica and andrei is jd simply because of the drama and the drama alone).

see i think in mean girls, the predator motif that regina has SCREAMS fedya to me. but heather chandler's fixation with shame is also very helene. i think in heathers, fedya is more jd coded due to the fixation with revenge violence, but mean girls regina is fedya because they are both VERY interested in making other people sick in the head paranoid.

anatole being mcnamara and karen is funny. put that man through clinical depression.

this is quickly becoming a thesis so i will round it all off by trying to figure out who's specifically being tortured here. natasha HAS to be katie heron marya is janis and pierre is damien fun fact. NO clue who the calculus man is. anatole could be him too. anything can happen. im very flattered you liked my tags but now i must ponder with you. alas

Btw i love this tag by @thalassous i'm trying to adapt the kuragin-dolokhov trio into classic mean girl archetypes now. On one hand fedya is the most Actually Evil of them so he could take the queen bee spot. In this case Helene would be the deceptively quiet second in command and anatole would fit naturally into the brainless bimbo slot. However Helene's socialite status also makes her a natural fit for the queen bee spot while fedya has those themes of envy and social climberism that i love to explore so he could be the resentful second in command. On the third hand anatole is the most nepobaby, doesn't have to put in any work, never experienced a consequence, effortlessly popular bitch ever and i do tend to write both fedya and helene as bitterly aware of his privilege over them in that way - so he could be his own special kind of queen bee with the other two as his "underlings". Much to ponder.

Actually the real question is who's veronica and jd

10 Scariest Movies

Some films make ya laugh,others make ya cry.....Others scare the crap out of you ,lets talk about those ..Also this doesnt have to be horror just films that scare me on some level .Anyway onto nightmare fuel 

1.The Night of the Hunter (1953)

This is my second favorite movie of all time  and one of the scariest movies of all time ,at least to me.It really focusese on the fears one has as kids,namely a person coming into your life  who everyone  loves......But you can tell there is something off about em and no one will believe you .Robert Mitchum plays a charming preacher,Harry Powell who marries a widow with two children....The thing is Powell is a murdererous con man  ,seeking hidden loot that only the children know about ,.There have been many great movie monsters but few terrify me as much as Powell,as the film calls him a wolf in sheeps cloathing   

2.The Evil Dead(1981)

My favorite pure horrroe film,five college students got to a cabin in the woods ....And unleash demons which posess them one by one.Demons are a frightening concept to begin with for me but they are made more frightening here with how sadistic they are,enjoying the ability to toy with their victims emotionally and mentally .Add in the grittiness of  the films low budget nature and this is a deeply disturbing flick 

3.Candyman(1992)

A woman investigates the urban legend of the Candyman,and discovers more then she bargained for .Candyman is beautifully haunting  .Despite being associated with the slasher genre ,Candyman himself feels like a classic  monster like Dracula  or the Phantom .What makes this film horrifying is the fact Helen seems to be losing her mind to the outside world due to the machinations of the Candyman .

4.Phantasm(!979)

 Michel finds out something is weird at the local funeral home .....And thats the plot,as this movie is more like a nightmare,focusing on striking scenes and less on story .....And thats kind of it’s strength.It’s more about striking moments,like hooded monsters,flying bug creatures,deadly silver balls,and the hero’s conflict with the films villain:The Tall Man ,who is very mysterious and RELENTLESS seemingly unstoppable. Probably my favorite horror villain 

5.Mad Love(1935)

Peter Lorre plays a surgeon,Dr Gogol obsessed with actress Yvonne Orlac ,wife of Stephen Orlac(Played by Frankenstein’s Colin Clive ) a world famous pianist .When Stephen loses his hands,Gogol replaces them with the hands of a knife throwing killer .....And as Gogol spirals into madness and  Stephen into depression ,Gogol decides to gaslight Stephen into thinking his hands are compelling him to kill.Tale of madness and obsession ,Lorres unhinged performance makes this film truly scary 

6.Coraline(2009)

Kids movie or not this is one of the scariest movies I have ever seen .Corlaine finds a door to a world similar to her own  except everything is better ....And everyone has buttons sewen onto their eyes.And as the story goes on ,she finds  everything isnt as nice as it seems . Just the general creepiness of sewing BUTTONS onto your eyes ,and how this nice place has a sinister undertone  before the second half just becomes a pure horror movie,especially with the main monster :The Beldam who is a NEEDLE SPIDER WITCH.THATS A WHOLE LOTTA NOPE

7.The Conjuring(2013)

One of the few films where I screamed IN THE THEATER .Plot is simple  a family is haunted by the ghost of a witch  and a parnormal investigating couple comes to help get rid of the evil .....And this movie scares me so damn much thats all I want to talk about ,next movie 

8.Blue Velvet(1986)

A young man finds a severed ear that leads him on an investigation,into an affair with a singer,and leads him to criminal psychopath Frank Booth .Booth is an odd character ,as he has momemts where he is is so odd he is hilarious.....But other moments where he is one of the scariest villains ever put to film ,he is so unpredictable ,and that unpredictability is why he is scary .

9.Nightmare on Elm Street (1984)

The first three Elm Street films were contenders for this list ,especially 2 for how that movie may have the scariest version of Freddy ,just in how gross his design is and his plan to take over the main character Jesse.....But I HAD to go with the first film cause while it is about a killer who gets you in your dreams ,it’s realitively grounded,with Freddy being more of a pure sadist then a jokester and dear god the body bag maybe the most horrifying thing ever 

10.Tourist Trap (1979)

A slasher that is so insano bonkers that it is horrifying..A bunch of people  end up at a tourist trap owned by Chuck Conners(Who is GREAT  in this movie by the way ).....And enter what I can best describe as HELL . MAnnequins that move ,laugh,moan and scream and a masked killer with psychic powers and a creepy croaky voice  are what await them.This film is relatively bloodless but that doesnt mean the kills  arent horrifying (Especially one involving a woman being covered in  plaster as the killer describes how horrible their death will be ),and the atmosphere and general bizarreness of the killer make this one of the freakiest movies ever.Also why does the killer wear a mask?”CaUsE IM sO hAnDsOmE!!!”

for his own good. [part one]

Hey. So this is my first time writing in a long time and I just wanted to give it another shot. I don’t know what came over me, but here it is. And also, this will probably have several medical inaccuracies so. But let’s try to enjoy this, shall we?? Let’s go!

———————

“Mister Stark? Can you hear me? I-It's Peter!” His voice sounded so young, so weak, so terrified. His mentor figure, no scratch that, his father figure was dying right in front of his eyes.

It’s not like the feeling wasn’t new to him, by any means. This is a boy who watched his parent’s plane go down on the news at age six as his young sobs were muffled by his aunts hip, as she tried to offer any comfort to the newly orphaned child, who was far too young to understand what was going on.

This was a boy who heard the sound of a gunshot fill his ears at only 14, as his uncle bleed out right under his hands, forever staining them in the crimson colour that will forever haunt his nightmares.

Tony was just one name on the list of many parental figures 16 year old (21 year old?) Peter Parker had lost. It seemed as if he was cursed. Cursed to lose any parental figure he got close with.

And now, here he was again, letting the feeling of fear, denial, and loss come over him like a tsunami for the third time in his short life.

The left side of Tony’s face was charred due to the energy surge the infinity stones sent through his veins as he heroically snapped his fingers to eliminate the mad Titan who had apparently killed the teen along with half of all life five years ago. Not that he could see it, with his eyes being filled to the brim with unshed tears blocking his vision, but he could smell it. He smelled something burning.

He hated it. He hated it with a passion.

He wanted to fix it. That’s all he wanted to do in that moment was to fix it. Fix everything. But he couldn’t. Nobody could.

Tony Stark. Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist, father, was dying.

And all Peter could do was do his best to say goodbye.

“Hey. We won… Mister Stark. We won Mister Stark. You did it, sir, you did it.” He hated how his voice shook like a child’s. He hated how someone else he loved was dying. He hated how he couldn’t get the gauntlet off Thanos all those years ago. He hated how he couldn’t get the gauntlet across the battlefield to the makeshift quantum tunnel. He hated how he didn’t do enough.

He hated how it was his fault.

“I’m sorry… Tony…” Peter had never called him Tony before. But in this moment, knowing it would be the last time he ever had the chance to, it felt right.

He felt an armoured hand grab his shoulder and gently pull him up. Truth be told, he completely zoned out after that. He was too lost in his own thoughts to hear Pepper’s last words to her husband, which as another thing he hated. But it’s not like he could help it. He found the sound of Tony’s heartbeat with his super heating and he intended to listen to it until it wasn’t there anymore. It kept his sobbing to a bare minimum, knowing that he was still alive, despite knowing it wouldn’t be for long.

So he listened.

Ba dum.

And listened.

Ba dum.

And listened…

Ba dum.

Until…

Nothing.

The sound of his mentor’s, his father’s heart had stopped.

The light of the arc reactor faded out.

Tony was gone.

Peter let out a scream.

—————

Tony woke up to a bright white light in his face.

Honestly? That’s what he expected. It’s all he could hope for. He was dead after all. Heaven was the best case scenario.

It wasn’t what he preferred. He would’ve much preferred to stay on Earth for at least 30 more years. See Morgan grow up, see Peter graduate, see Harley become the best darn mechanic Tennessee has to offer, see Nebula finally learn what it’s like to feel loved, fully repair his relationship with Steve, grow old with Pepper...

But the minute he snapped his fingers, he knew he was never going to get that.

He just hoped he would get to see Natasha again. And his darling mother, Maria. Maybe even Yinsen, tell him how he didn’t waste his life.

But then, he felt something.

Pain.

Intense pain coursing through his left arm.

That couldn’t be… this was heaven for crying out loud. You weren’t supposed to feel any pain here. You were supposed to be at peace.

Unless…

“Tony!” He heard a familiar voice scream. “Tony, oh my god…”

He groglily turned his head to see Pepper, his beautiful Pepper, run up to his side.

He was so confused. He was dead. Pepper was alive. And if she wasn’t, there would be hell to pay.

He felt her soft hands on his face, as he looked into her emerald eyes. She looked just as confused as he was, but happiness and relief hid that beautifully. The raw emotion on her face was the exact same as what he saw when he first landed on Earth after being left for dead in space all those years ago.

She gently pulled him into an embrace, the same way she did then, careful not to hurt him. He breathed in her vanilla scented hair and planted a soft kiss on her cheek.

“You’re alive…” She whispered so softly you could breathe and miss it.

Wait.. what?

He was… alive?

How could that be? No human could ever survive that much power!

“I’m… wha—“

“Mister Stark! Glad to see you awake.” He heard the click of heels enter the room. His gaze shifted from one woman to another, as he saw a professionally dressed Asian woman come onto the scene.

Helen Cho.

Doctor Cho.

That’s when it hit him. He was truly, honestly, alive.

He was in rough shape, he had finally taken the time to take in his surroundings and realize that his arm was missing (he then proceeded to make the connection that the pain he felt earlier was phantom pain), and he was hooked up to several machines, all of which keeping him going no doubt.

But he was alive.

But…

“How?” He asked Cho, with as much strength as he could muster.

“Let’s just say we’re Banner was able to carry you here in time. Your heart stopped, you know. And even though we were able to get it started again, we still thought you were a lost cause.” She said as kindly as possible, Pepper’s sniffles still filling the room. “In fact, we were planning on pulling the plug tomorrow.”

Pulling the plug? That meant…

“You were in a coma for over a month.” The doctor answered his thought for him.

He swallowed bile at that. He couldn’t stand the thought of his family being in limbo for that long, how long they must have spent lying awake, wondering and worrying.

He almost felt like death would’ve been easier on them.

“But, you pulled through last second! Doesn’t surprise me. You always were a survivor, Mister Stark.” Cho said in a voice that was somehow professional and cheery at the same time.

Survivor.

He survived this.

“Unfortunately, your arm was a lost cause and we had to amputate it.” She said as her tone shifted to one more appropriate for the news she was sharing. “But using the technology they used for Mister Barnes’ arm, Wakanda’s royal medical team was able to fabricate you a fully functioning new one. It’s metal, but it’s something.”

Thank god. He doesn’t know what he would do without his arms. He certainly wouldn’t be able to tinker anymore. Or hug his daughter properly.

His beautiful, beautiful daughter.

Morgan.

He couldn’t wait to see her again.

He couldn’t wait to see all of this wonderful, darling children again.

“Thank you, Doc.” He said weakly, Pepper still kneeling next to him and holding his hand, brushing her fingers over his softly.

Helen just sighed. It was a sad sigh.

He knew that didn’t mean good news.

“Don’t thank me yet.” She spoke softly, as if she was about to say something devastating. “The rest of the world, still thinks your dead.”

He couldn’t help but let out a weak chuckle at that, though it sounded like a strained breath. “Yeah, so did I up until about three minutes ago, jeez no need to be so dramatic about it.” He retorted with his usual snark

“No, Stark. We let the world mourn for you. For privacy’s sake, and in case you didn’t make it to begin with. The only people who were made aware of your comatose state were Pepper, Morgan, Rhodey, & Happy. Everyone else thinks you’re six feet under. There was even a funeral held.”

Oh.

“Wait, why only those four? What about Harley, or Peter?” He pressed, letting anger come over him.

He couldn’t stand the thought of his sons mourning him, when his heart was still beating. Especially not Peter, who had lost too much already.

“We decided that the less people that know the better, Mister Stark. We didn’t want this getting out to the public.”

“Oh god…” He sighed, briefly letting go of Pepper’s hand to run his only one through his hair in frustration.

“Well, maybe this is a good thing, right?” His wife softly suggested. “I mean, living the quiet life. No cameras, no responsibilities, just a nice life by the lake…”

“Are you suggesting I fake my death?” He asked, almost offended at the idea.

“I mean, that’s the only way you’re gonna ever be able to truly retire.” She retorted, still sounding soft and airy and in awe that he was here, breathing.

Deep down he knew she was right. She always was.

“I’ll give you some time to think on it. Rest up, sweetheart.” She softly whispered, getting up and placing a kiss on his forehead before leaving the room with Helen, being truly left alone with his thoughts.

And boy, did he have a lot of him.

He was still processing the fact that he was alive, and now he had that decision to make.

Tell the whole world your still alive & be bombarded with even more press and paparazzi than ever before as you’re probably now viewed as the world’s saviour or live the quiet life by the lake with your loved ones with no responsibility other than making sure Morgan is happy and healthy.

Despite it being a clear no brainer, he still decided to think on it.

And his mind wandered to Peter Parker.

The genius kid who just so happens to be a superhero on top of it.

The kid who he loved with all his heart, the kid who he invented time travel for, because he couldn’t live in a world that didn’t know his bright smile and contagious laugh.

The kid who wormed his way into his heart and broke down his walls, revealing a heart behind the sarcastic yet ever stoic exterior.

The kid who made him want to have one of his own.

He thought about how much he loved Peter Parker…

Before he realized how bad he was for him.

He was the one who dragged him into this life, introduced him to experiences that no doubt have him PTSD for life.

Despite how hard he tried to shield him from it, how hard he tried to bench the kid, nothing ever worked.

He was determined to help out, to make a difference.

And look where that got him.

Dying on an alien planet, light years away from home as he begged Tony to save him, before crumbling to dust in his arms.

Tony swore never to let that happen again.

In that moment, Tony swore to protect him.

Even if that protection meant never seeing him again.

Because damn it, he couldn’t let anything happen to that boy ever again.

And it’s not like this was the first time Peter lost a father figure.

Tony knows he doesn’t deserve it, he doesn’t deserve the pain again…

But odds are he already felt it. And he couldn’t take that unrelenting pain back, even if Peter knew he was still alive.

And Peter? He was strong.

So, fucking, strong.

Tony knew that eventually, Peter would get through it. He had to.

He’s done it before, hasn’t he?

So, as much as it broke him, Tony decided he would do it.

He would fake his own death.

And keep it from Peter.

It broke his heart. But he knew he had to.

For his own good. He told himself.

For his own good.
