#hellhouse of fun

[thechaotichorselord]

Thank you for 100 followers!

I honestly have been getting like— a lot of followers in the last few days.

WHICH I WAS NOT EXPECTING- I was actually planning on saying “if i get 100 followers by the end of may I’ll post an animation to myself singing” because I didn’t think it was possible-

Very glad I didn’t now-

But I’d like to do something special, so I will.

[staringupward]

So I’m finally getting around to playing the FF7 remake. I’ve played the original, and it’s always going to have a special place in my heart as the first game that really spurred me on into gaming. So here are my thoughts so far.

The story beats are well paced, I think. The city of Midgar and its various slums are really well fleshed out. I really appreciate just how cartoonishly evil Heidigger and Pres. Shinra are. Classic warmongers and corporate greedflationists. They really do not give a damn about anyone beneath them and it shows. I’m excited about the additional story beats and the mysterious spectres showing up as drivers of the plot, and adding that little bit of “wtf is going on here” to the background.

The main characters, and even side characters, are nicely fleshed out, too. Being able to listen to their voices, reading their faces and body language, and the much increased dialogue paints a much better and clearer picture of what’s going on with these people. And that nobody is that dumb. (Except Johnny. This Guy. OMG.) Cloud’s PTSD/Mako induced hallucinations and flashbacks are well done. He looks like he’s dealing with it in a healthy manner, except that he’s keeping it to himself. Tifa’s uncertainty and strong morality based on what’s happened to her. Barret has a hard exterior, but deep down he does care. Jesse recognizes that the explosion should not have been that big. She logically blames herself for this because she didn’t intend so large a blast radius.

It’s hitting my nostalgia for the original just right, and it’s got enough new things to keep it fresh. I’m liking this.

TURKS!!!! Reno is a shit and I love him and his stupid man cleavage. Rude and his ever ready spare sunglasses. Reno having fun with gadgets. Rude just THROWING YOU AROUND LIKE A TOY. Like holy hell! What even was that?!

Okay, so now I’m into Wall Market, and I’m just past the Hellhouse. One: Chocobo Sam is neat, I hope he gets more attention later. Two: Madam M. WHAT DID YOU DO TO CLOUD’S HANDS. (Yes, I got the Deluxe.) YOU BROKE HIS BRAIN A LITTLE BIT. GIRL. Three: the colosseum fights. What. Is. The Hellhouse. Scotch and Kotch are A+ at amping up a crowd. That was a ride. I have one more question.

Why have we not seen all of Andrea Rhodea’s face yet? Am I about to be screaming? I’m probably about to be screaming.

Final Note: Scarlet. Girl. How did you decide that Business Professional and Cocktail Hour were both valid for a working woman? I mean, you rock it, but I still gotta question your taste.

For God and Country

Darkhold #2

Average story-driven fun.

Sam Buchanan, Louise Hastings and Vicki Montesi (the Darkhold Redeemers) track down a man who’s threatening to set off a gamma bomb!

This ticks a few boxes. It's a well-told adventure with proactive heroes, and nice crisp art. It's fast-paced and entertaining. Fido the Hellhouse is a highlight, as is Sam's cold-blooded execution of General Hamilton. (I kinda wish the Hellhound had stuck around for the rest of the series.)

On Sale Date: September 8, 1992.

Wizard Top 100: #31.

Richard Case (2 of 4).

Season 2, Episode 13: Houses of the Holy

Oh great, televangelists

Freaky

The juxtaposition here

Weird

Sam would make for a great therapist

Nice

Interesting

I'm honestly not sure what to make of this

Nazareth, huh?

Yes, Dean. Magic-fingers

Dean has a taste for the finer things in life

He's got a point

Dean.

Churchgoer and everything.

Is it so hard to believe, Dean?

Well. That is a point

Sam

Cas is so disappointed right now

You will, Dean. You will

Who said the feathers were white?

Baby needs a wash

Dean.

What's up, Sam?

Oh joy, a cellar

It's giving Hellhouse

Interesting

Whack

Fun

Here we go again

What a waste

I wonder what the pattern is

Oh.

Man, Netflix sucks at captions

Dude. You're an addict

Actually, that's proven to be untrue!

Don't underestimate Dean

Parkour!

Apparently that was hard to film

Obsessed much?

Well...

Always angels

Better than Flying Jesus Church though

Yeah, that's a spooky church alright

We like to say that 'It's a Small World' is the church theme song

Ah, yes, Michael...

Every person meeting angels ever

From one of the gospels, probably

Hah

Suspicious

Interesting...

Did he just call the priest 'padre?'

As a Christian, I don't know how to feel about this episode

That's freaky

Uh oh

Weird

Dean.

Divine bat signal

I think I get it, actually.

Every new thing I learn about Dean makes me want to give him a hug

Actually, there is a God, and his name is Chuck. But you don't want to meet him

Whoopi like Goldberg?

If you don't have a prayer mat at home, store-bought is fine

Great

Do this the smart way

That's... not exactly the smart way, but I'll take it

Oh, this is gonna go well

The guy wasn't even 40

Uh oh

Let me sum up

Sam.

Dean was right

Ooh, he believes that people become angels when they die

Does nobody use turn signals?

Suspicious

I mean, yeah, but this is not good

Poor guy

One of the ten commandments.

Yeah, this is really not gonna end well

Dude. You're not gonna do it again if you slap your date

Dean to the rescue!

I genuinely don't know if she should be thanking God for this one

Huh

It's like. An exorcism, but for ghosts

Mm, I do not like those sparks

Holy crap

Ooh!

Holy crap!!

Yeah, holy probably describes it

Aw, Sam.

Don't worry, Sam. In two years, you get to meet Cas!

I mean. Chuck is watching, but that's not exactly comforting

Sure looks like an Act of God

[whydontyouhateithere]

There's so much better horror out there. Just, on a base level, there are so many better stories to be told than "Formula where everyone dies horribly except one traumatized woman who's only character growth has been torture and then the monster dies but then the monster doesn't die."

And I get there I get there can be artistry in the chaos. There is fun in that hand-in-a-bowl-of-peeled-grapes-on-no-it's-eyes spectacle. As a huge fan of practical effects, let me assure you, you can do practical effects amazingly and not have to force people to marvel at how realistic you made the scene where you sawed through a woman's pelvis. Hellraiser has an amazing scene where a dude un-melts out of the floor. The Thing has terrifying anatomy that makes you think "Yeah for sure, that Thing's not human." Even Tucker and Dale versus Evil knows how to use the uncanny valley of realism to make you laugh at a woodchipper accident.

The higher your body-count, the less death means anything. And the less death means anything, the less I'm invested on what happens to anyone. Or, honestly, if I'm still invested, I'm not rooting for the humans. And that can be fun, if you're doing it on purpose! The indie game Carrion is based entirely around this premise, and it is a blast. But friends, it's really hard to base a story around this. And if I'm just just watching someone bang dolls together for 90 minutes, I have better things to do.

And if you just like the inevitability of it, there are great ways to do that without the bluntness of feeding humans into an unstoppable blender. It Follows, The Mist, His House, Hellhouse LLC, Oculus, The Autopsy of Jane Doe, those are just the ones I can name off the top of my head. Turns out "Guys, i don't think we're getting out of this" is a theme you can attach emotion to, too.

Anyway. If this gets more than five notes I keep the rant up. Otherwise, just know I voted "No."

[gentrychild]

Yknow I've been going through the suspected racoon tags (as you should) and saw a post that I apparently missed and it was where shoto made dabi wear a purple princess dress and then Deku showed his... Dog... That he... Found???? And I just want to know.. Just as uraraka... Where tf did found Deku the dog. And where is he keeping Jack might. What's his grooming procedure keeping big dogs in small flats isn't normally the best idea I hope inko takes Jack might out for walks regularly

Thank you for reminding me of Jack Might, Izuku's lovely canine companion.

Izuku found this lovely boy as he was wandering in Kamino for an exposition about Heroes and Vigilantes Of The Past. He got a little bit lost on his way back and even if for a second he thought this dog was about to maul him, one sniff later, it appeared that he was a very good boy determined to follow Izuku home.

Izuku naturally tried to find his master and even brought him to a vet to know if he had a chip - the running theory is that his master was swallowed whole by this beast but no one had the heart to tell that to Izuku - and after talking about it with his mom, since it was very late, he decided to welcome Jack Might for one night before taking him to a shelter.

Jack Might was obviously very well trained since he obeyed every of Izuku's orders and he is also a bit of a snuggler, something that the Midoriya family can appreciate. But still, as you said, a small appartment isn't the best place for a dog that might be part jackal, so Izuku took him to a shelter so he could find a nice family.

Strange shelter, btw. The first volunteer welcomed Izuku with a banshee scream, the second quit on the spot, and all the dogs were desperately to escape as soon as Izuku (with his adorable hellhound right next to him, of course) were trying to escape. In the end, he decided that Jack Might would be better with them so they kept him and they never regretted it.

Do not worry about Jack Might, who accompanies Izuku on his morning and nightly runs, but also Inko on her grocery shopping and other walks. And once Izuku moved in the dorms, he will have the whole campus to run as much as he wants!

Written for Siriusly Spooky 2022 on the Wickedly Wolfstar Discord.

“Okay, the sensor is showing supernatural activity,” Remus says, lifting it up and moving it slowly around the room, whilst James’ camera is fixed firmly on him. “Come, let’s see if we can find it.”

A door bangs in the background, and the pair jump, Remus spinning around.

“There are too many stories about Grimmauld Place being haunted,” James says. “But we’re here to offer you the truth, viewers. Deep inside one of the most haunted houses in all of Britain.”

Their movements are slow as they leave the foyer and head into the sitting room, eyes moving around. “Empty,” Remus says, not sure if he’s relieved or scared. It’s dark, musty, but there’s something that makes him feel cold about this place, that nowhere else has ever made him feel before.

“Set the cameras down, we’ll look around this room,” James decides.

“No, perhaps you should get out of here.” The pair look over to a man standing at the far end of the room, near another door. “Not safe here, friends.”

“How did you get in here?” Remus asks. The guy is handsome, sure, but they’re recording for their show and he likes his recordings to be perfect, and he doesn’t need strangers to interfere. Not again. It keeps happening. At first he was nice about it, but when equipment got broken, he drew a line and said never again.

“I’m local, you could say.” The man takes a step forward. “For fucksake, can you just leave?”

“Look, we’re recording and I don’t want to be rude, but—” Remus is cut off by James grabbing his arm.

“He’s a fucking ghost,” James hisses, and then Remus really looks.

The man is walking, but his feet don’t seem to touch the floor properly. His clothes are dated - maybe a hundred or so years old, he’d have to consult his books to figure out the right era. “What��”

“I said, get out,” the man hisses, eyes darting around. “It is not safe here. I’m warning you to leave. To be safe. Please. Get out.”

“You don’t scare us,” Remus says, though he is very scared. They’ve seen paranormal activity and strange things, but this is the first time they’ve come face to face with a real ghost.

“It’s not me you need to be scared of,” the man says. “I’m Sirius Black, resident trapped-person of this hellhouse that I grew up in, my brother Regulus is lurking around somewhere. We’re not the ones you need to be scared of. This house is cursed, and if you stay, it’ll take you too.”

“Curse?” James perks up. “Curses are fun.”

“Yes, and we’re having a wonderful time trapped here for eternity because of the delightful and fun curse,” Sirius snaps. “Just… look, if you stay, you’ll never be able to leave. I live that life. I don’t want that life for you. And for your information, I’m not a ghost. I’m a trapped soul.”

Remus reaches for his notebook, fascinated.

“Curses,” he whispers, noting it down.

“You’re… making notes,” Sirius comments. “How cute. I’m almost tempted to stop you leaving, because eternity here doesn’t seem as daunting if I had someone as adorable as you to be trapped with.” There’s a longing look before he frowns, shaking his head. “Get the fuck out, your time is almost up.”

James grabs Remus and starts to drag him away, but there’s something in Remus that urges him to stay. Still, they find themselves outside, and Remus’ gaze is drawn to the window where he’s sure he sees the curtain twitch, though no-one is there.

“Cursed,” James says. “Imagine if we could break the curse. Imagine… imagine our viewers reaction. Our ratings would double. Triple. More.”

Remus nods, though his thoughts aren’t on the ratings, they’re on the trapped man inside. This man isn’t a ghost. He’s just trapped.

And Remus wants to free him.

[thecynicalcinephile]

So, About Hell House LLC 3: Lake of Fire,

Well, I watched this one just to see if the franchise managed to course-correct after the disastrous second entry, and credit where credit is due, they almost pulled it off. By letting all the extra worldbuilding they'd established in the second movie take a back seat, this film was able to just focus on the nice creepy moments we all loved from the first film.

Now I'll be honest, I've been trying for a week to write a perfect review for this film (partially because of procrastination, partially because technical difficulties deleted my first attempt) so let me just rip the bandaid off and say it. This film, up until the very finale, is essentially just a less subtle version of the first movie with a larger cast. That's pretty much par for the course in terms of horror movie sequels, so you could do worse than to watch this movie.

That's not to say it's without its flaws though. For instance, in the final act they really sort of jump the shark a little bit. Remember how I said in my review for the second film that you should be careful if you think you should include a portal to hell as a major plot point in your film? Well, you should also be careful if you think it's a good idea to include a warrior sent by God to close said portal to hell.

Additionally, whereas the original film kept most of the violence offscreen in a very less-is-more fashion, this film does exactly the opposite. In fact most of the climax is essentially one long bloated sequence of bloodsplatters and bodies hitting the floor. This is fine initially, but it really drags on far too long. Like we get it, people in robes are stabbing people, can we please move on?

Additionally, the decision to retroactively give the original hellhouse crew a bittersweet happy ending was bizarre, to say the least. I mean the original film was more or less perfect, why go back and change it? This doesn't necessarily damage the original ending, it just feels sort of off. Like, I'm not watching a found footage horror movie because I want to see a happy ending that wraps up everything in a nice little bow, I want an ending that leaves a sinking pit in my stomach and gives me nightmares for weeks. That's what I loved about the original movie.

Ultimately, as far as horror movie sequels go, this one is pretty damn good. It's far better than this franchise's disastrous second entry. However, it is still a horror movie sequel, and is not immune to the sins that phrase implies. This is certainly a good fun and scary way to kill a few hours, but it'll never be near as good as the original.

[silver-wield]

Also curious for your Cloud Narrative run, would any of the Hard mode only rewards factor in for what might be canon? (Like when regarding the ch.8 side quests since 4 of them have a manuscript reward in hard mode: Weapons on a Rampage, Kids on Patrol, Angel of the Slums, Paying Respects)

I haven't finished hard mode because it's too...hard lol

I don't game to be good at it, I game to have fun and stressing myself out trying to beat monsters isn't fun for me. After six goes at hellhouse I noped away and went back to enjoying the game the usual way. I also didn't finish Yuffie's dlc on hard mode either. Almost had Nero, but in the end I suck lol

So, I have no idea how the extra manuscripts are distributed on that, but hard mode is for replay value, not narrative context, so the fact they force you play chapter nine more than once to get all the manuscripts is geared towards that.

[mittensmorgul]

Note-taking anon again! :D

I am absolutely enjoying the show. It's a bit of a long winded story as to how i finally took the plunge: i knew spn existed, and at some point in 2019 i saw on tumblr that 15 was going to be its last season. Out of respect for the trailblazing it had done in fandom space, i resolved to check-in on the fandom every time it trended.

So, i sort of experienced s15 in a very filtered way. I was there for 'you asked what about this is real? We are' and experienced all of the freakouts, despite not knowing the context. I saw the trap's prayer scene and went ohshit is the fandom okay? Are people okay? The answer was no but people usually weren't okay ahah 😂

And i honestly forgot about the show bc it hadnt trended in so long, and then November 5th happened. And i went to check in on the fandom. And they were Not okay in the best way possible.

I resolved to actually watch the show bc i needed to know how we got there. After years of fan support for destiel i was like i have to know the truth.

Spn is not a show i would normally turn to. I'm not a horror fan--ive never seen a horror movie. This is the only horror i've ever watched. I'm also not in the target audience. But it was such a Concept that i just had to.

And its been so much fun.

Ive spent hours watching and meticulously notetaking. I dont think i'd've enjoyed the show as much if i wasn't doing my notes. It makes me pay attention to all the layers and nuance--intentional or otherwise. Spn loves to introduce a concept and then disappear into the night saying 'now we dont have time to unpack all of that' while im sat there reeling in the implications.

I originally wanted to watch for cas, but i found myself invested in sam and dean as well. I figured the first 3 seasons were going to be the hardest for me as there was no cas, but they were able to explore some fascinating smaller stories. Some personal favourites would be Hellhouse, Heart, Roadkill, What is and What should Never be, and Dream a little Dream of me. Sam and dean are compelling characters, and if you skip those seasons you really miss out on what makes them, them.

As well, ive fully accepted that the finale is not canon so i'm also able to enjoy the show that way too. I actually took notes on november 19th, watching the finale live, despite not knowing what was going on, and now that ive seen half the show, its kind of crazy to look back on.

Anyway, this is getting long!

I think i am grateful to have all of the context in place for me. It is significantly less stressful to know the entire time. It also gives validation for reading scenes in certain ways. (Not that validation is required, but it is nice) I don't think i would have been able to handle the bereavement from everywhere for simply perceiving what is clearly being told in the text. Now that ive seen half the show, i have a huge amount of respect for everyone who endured the journey.

OH gosh, I’m really happy for you! 

And thank you for watching the first three seasons! I hear of a lot of people who started at 4.01 because they were most interested in Cas as a character, and I think later seasons lose so much by not having seen the first three seasons of Sam and especially Dean’s growth up to that point.

I have to laugh at the notion of watching the series finale without having seen any of the show and feeling like you didn’t know what was going on, because lol I’ve been watching for a decade and *I* had no idea what was going on. So at least you were in the same headspace as we were for that one. :’D

I hope you continue enjoying it, and sharing your notes occasionally. :)

[rupertgayesarchive]

HELLO so I saw u rb'd my Director's Commentary thing and I recognized ur ao3 handle and saw u wrote Heard From Your Mother so I have to say: I haven't read your fic though it's been in my to-read pile for ages (it looks amazing and right up my alley, so I will get to it eventually I promise!). That being said, if you were to write a list of your favorite moments in the fic and why they were your favorites, perhaps to psych up readers such as myself to plunge in to over 200k, I would LOVE to see it. Not quite director's commentary in the traditional sense but here's ur invitation if you're looking for one!

it's a LONG fic and tbh? i'd never read a fic as long as hfym lmao so @ anyone who is intrigued but doesn't know if they could handle it, like. i understand. but thank you v much for your question!! let me see...

do you ever read meta on spn characters and think: if only someone were there to be your friend and love and support you? maybe things would have been better? that's a core tenant of this fic.

do you also ever read meta on spn and how even though it SAYS spn is about found family, all the found family dies or is left, um, 'shattered at the altar of winchester'? and you're like :/ me too. trying to alter/fix that is also a core tenant of this fic.

cas and dean being together IS obviously, a very important part of this fic. it is a destiel fic. but i'm also trying to maybe suggest that they can have other people in their lives that also matter. since the premise is that cas is sent back in time without his memories, this means he spends a lot of the fic discovering his likes/dislikes and interests.

like 90s alt girlies. and 2000s pop girlies. and fantasy-comedy novels. and silly graphic t-shirts. and bagels. and slushies.

dean slowly and much more begrudgingly admitting to maybe liking other things/trying them/tolerating them because of cas.

dean and cas sharing clothes before they even get together.

dean admitting that watching cas try new things is fun for him too.

dean losing a bet and offhandedly mentioning to sam that cas is now giving him a lecture on 80s new wave, then quoting a talking heads song lyric to cas the next chapter.

if i can't put dean winchester in therapy i'm just gonna surround him with so many adults that are more well-adjusted than him and just hope they can imprint on him and hey it kind of works?

i keep wanting to give cas friends bc that's what he deserves. i also have a habit of writing almost solely female minor characters (i started this practice years ago since if all the main characters in the fandoms i wrote were guys, this surely balanced out the world, right? right??) this means cas has a slowly growing troupe of girl besties :) they have ladies night :)

a cool knife shows up at some point.

sam started out spn as a bitch and a psychic and by god is he gonna stay that way.

jess :)

the first half of this fic is pre-Pilot, which i really enjoy! but we also get the entirety of s1 in this fic, and it's really fun sitting down and going through these classic spn eps.

faith (nsfw) and faith *jumps* 2!!

why oh why is hookman the emotional linchpin of this season? who can say.

i genuinely think this fic is a comedy. like it is serious, sure. but only a handful of chapters in this thing are fully 100% serious, the rest have a handful of things that i personally find very funny, like: gilligan cuts for scene changes, dean telling sam to 'pack it up, gloria steinem,' cas slowly growing a sense of humor that is about as dry as the sahara, the running joke that cas is a slow driver, dean thinking a falafel is a 'weird meatball', pretty much the entire hellhouse episode rewrite, 'cas started a cult' 'what.', 'what the fuck is a musca?', 'you're a real peach, cas' 'thank you?', sam admitting to dean he's having visions while dean has to sit there thinking that he's been balls deep in a non-human entity that can smite things with his mind: wow sammy that's crazy., 'maybe it's underwater caves.' 'dude. it is not underwater caves.' and much more

overall i guess this is the longest fic i've ever written and every day p much i'm like 'wow can't wait to write more!' it's such a joy to write and it's a love letter to spn and the fandom and the memories we've all made with this silly crazy show as more people read it and comment on it i genuinely think it creates this positive feedback loop and i hope anyone who reads hfym can get some joy from it like i am able to just by writing it and interacting with people who read it!

[chwedout]

top 5 vg boss fights! (hopefully this makes sense lmao)

yes this makes sense dw!! also not in any particular order <3

1- Rafe Adler (Uncharted 4: A Thief's End)

I personally love Rafe's boss fight in Uncharted 4. I like that it wasn't just another shoot off and it was a new mechanic in the whole game. The sword fight felt very cinematic and I just had a lot of fun playing it.

2- G Birkin 1 (Resident Evil 2: Remake)

The first boss fight with G Birkin is probably my favourite one in RE2:R. I find this one the scariest because you're dropped into an area with tight halls and a lot of blind corners. The boss arena also feels a little labyrinth-y so it's easy to get lost if you're not familiar with it.

3- Hellhouse (Final Fantasy VII: Remake)

Hellhouse is one of the hardest bosses in FFVII and that's purely because it constantly changes it's mode, meaning that you have to constantly adapt and change your fighting style to make sure you're dealing damage. I personally find it really fun to keep matching its element type. It just takes a long time to finish off lol.

4- The Rat King (The Last of Us: Part II)

This boss fight scared me shitless. The minute you make it to ground zero, you know something bad is about to happen. Ground zero has a really eerie atmosphere and there are little clues throughout the level that keep you on edge. Once you finally come face to face with the rat king, it's absolutely terrifying since you're forced to keep running from it. And my god don't even get me started when it splits off into two.

5- Abby vs. Ellie (The Last of Us: Part II)

Yes I know I'm putting two boss fights from TLOU 2 but like they're so good that I can't help myself. What I loved about this particular boss fight wasn't the combat but rather the context of it. You're forced to fight a character that you've spent over two games with. It's incredibly hard because you know that in order to continue playing, you're going to have to defeat Ellie, but at the same time you don't want to. I find this particular boss fight really interesting when it comes down to the player's feelings and emotions.

ask me my top 5 anything!
