probably not going to try and lean into any sort of like weird fiction/lovecraftian/eldritch whatever horror-specific aspects with the new bellum x linebeck fic inspirations asides mostly bc i dont actually find that stuff interesting as horror

#salty talks #i remember a few months or smth ago i was watching this yt vid abt some weird little #horror game while putting an assignment together and at some point while discussing theories aht the game the guy #brought up some lovecraftian or w/e entity and started explaining the lore and whatnot abt it and i zoned out HARD #im not too familiar with this set of genres but waht i have seen is very like. ok?#like i think obsession is interesting and so is pursuing knowledge but once you get to 'ooooohhh creatures beyond human comprehension'#is when it loses me bc like. idk i dont give a shit man i dont really think its too interesting on its own #like it always comes off as some slightly pretentious creature feature half of the time and it rlly only gets some zest #imo when it starts including different types of horror like. idk psychological horror body horror whatever #i find it more interesting as a jumping off point or smth but a lot of the time if the lovecraftian stuff Is The Horror then i stop caring #theres a good chance that some horror stuff ive likes and found scary was eldritch horror stuff but most of the time. man idc #like i dont think the king in yellow is scary. like i dont think the character is scary i dont think its creepy or anything how its used #im much more interested in how the human characters somehow react to the play but even then its like. man idk its not very scary #eh for all i know ive completely lost the plot on this and am just saying shit and misunderstanding this genre of horror #i picked up the king in yellow for signalis reasons. ive never been too particularly interested in this horror subgenre anyways #im going more into the idea of obsession but thats kinda it. obsession and a guy wanting to fuck the horrors #never been interested w/ doing horror stuff w/e bellum probably bc i have so little interest in th subgenre most easily applied to him #like ive had horror ideas w/ him that probably leaned into eldritch ideas but i dont have interest in deliberately dipping my toes in it #tldr theres going to be like no deliberate horror in this fic bc i dont gaf abt making it horror in the same vein as my inspirations
