Yay, Tom Savini!
It sounds insane when he says it, but it (brutal murder) does happen every time he goes out.
It gets pretty repetitive. Man leaves his apartment, brutally murders a few people, takes a woman's scalp and tacks it on a mannequin, then cries about his childhood trauma. Rinse and repeat a few times. I mean, the effects by Tom Savini are sick and it's worth watching for that, but Jesus.
And again, Maniac (2012). Oh, Elijah Wood!
*Siiiigggghhhhh* Genuinely, I love hanging out with other masc lesbians. I've never really had lesbian friends, and this weekend, I stayed with a couple that I met at a show earlier this summer (and really clicked with), since we were doing the same event, and I had such a good time. The event was good too, but I guess last year was better, but fuck trying to sell art in an election year, everyone is clutching their dollars.
I'm so fucking tired, ugghhh.
Oh, but look at that, it's like I planned my watchlist for this month so I'd have an easy original/remake double feature for this evening.
Maniac (1980)

What? It's an 80s slasher.

wish i could show my 14 year old self this
#tbf i think i got 100% at some point. there's just one tiny bit in betrayal of fate that i ALWAYS struggled with#(the game is 'super crazy guitar maniac deluxe 3' and it was a notdoppler flash game)#i played this so much as a teenager and now whenever im doing dragon age stuff i get 'the fade' stuck in my head so i had to go replay this#maybe i'll try scgmd2 now. i think 3 was the best but 2 was also pretty good#iirc the left hand is different so it might take some practice. like i think it's back to front or something#personal#scgmd#scgmd3#has anyone EVER used those tags before? scgmd fandom rise up#i checked and ONE person posted one of the songs in the tag in 2012 lmao

BEHOLD
After a few hours of extensive research (and when I mean extensive I mean watching clips on YouTube and reading their wiki pages) I GIVE YOU
THE DEFINITIVE DONNIE CHART
(My reasoning is in the tags)
#guys you have no idea how hard it was making this#like for a few of them it was easy#i got the idea of making this when I thought ‘rise donnie is such a chaotic evil’#okay I know the reasoning may seem off on a few of them#but hear me out#bayverse donnie?#the dude literally jumped out of a plane like it was nothing#and his wiki page says he licked off the frosting of pop tarts and put them back in the box#such a chaotic neutral#as for 2012 donnie?#look regardless of April being a bad character Donnie was still obsessing over her like a maniac#AND he put a camera on a cockroach and shows it to Raph who is terrified of him#neutral evil for sure#2007 donnie?#look i only seen the IT tech support clip but yeah no he’s definetly lawful evil#do I have to explain 1987 donnie?#just see any clip compilation of him and you’ll get the vibe#2003 donnie is just a sweetheart and we should appreciate that#Batman Hamato ‘there’s always time for accuracy Leo’ donatello is a lawful neutral HANDS DOWN#I didn’t even see the 1990s movies but I couldn’t find any clips for that donnie so I just put him as the baseline neutral#and mutant mayhem donnie is nonexistent as of now#but I did see the poster art#and there’s this one YouTuber who made hilarious animatics of him and that’s just it#tmnt#tmnt crossover#rottmnt#2003 tmnt#2012 tmnt#bayverse tmnt#2007 tmnt

Maniac (2012)
2012’s Maniac is a slasher film with a lot to unpack. It’s not a movie you would ever call “fun” but that’s the point. Violent and disturbing, it's not for sensitive viewers and not the kind of picture you easily forget.
Schizophrenic Frank Zito (Elijah Wood) restores mannequins for a living. At night, he prowls the streets, latching onto women who remind him of his now-dead prostitute mother (America Olivo). After violent murdering and scalping them, Frank returns home and attaches his victim's hair to the many mannequins in his room.
The choice to shoot entirely from Frank’s point of view gets you thinking. Many slasher films have been accused of sympathizing with the killer rather than their victims; allowing the audience to see their violent crimes - crimes that often have sexual connotations - and relishing in the carnage. Often, this type of camerawork seems purely practical; it's a way to hide the killer’s identity (the original Friday the 13th for example) but it's still an unnerving choice because we switch to this point of view only when the killer is about to strike. These horror movies are shot normally, until we get to the violence. In 2012’s Maniac, there is no mystery. We know exactly who the killer is. We even know who the victims will be because we see everything Frank sees. Maniac is frightening because we never switch angles. We’re trapped in this viewpoint, unable to see anything except his violent, deranged acts.
The brutality on display is likely to be excessive for many viewers. Detractors would call the film misogynist - nearly every woman we meet is terrorized - but I’d disagree. Frank is certainly a man with severe psychological issues. His mother was an awful person who inadvertently created a monster, but nothing in the film tells us that the women he murders deserve their fate. Many of them are simply in the wrong place at the wrong time. Some antagonize Frank. Others reach out and attempt to befriend him. What happens to these women has nothing to do with their behavior and everything to do with our protagonist.
You’d think that experiencing these events from inside Frank’s shoes would endear you to him in a way, but director Franck Khalfoun manages to avoid making him sympathetic. We explore his character plenty. There is a plot but most of the running time is spent with Frank and the aftermath of his actions. Despite this, he never feels anything other than sad and pathetic. I don’t mean sad in the sense that you want to hug him; this man is profoundly unhappy, completely lacking in self-control, totally delusional and an absolute menace. It’s hard to imagine anyone relating to him beyond the fact that he’s a human being. He may have experienced trauma but even his past doesn’t excuse this level of unhinged madness.
I was going to write down that the more I think about Maniac, the more I like it… but “like” is the wrong word. I’d say I admire it for the way that it doesn’t back down. There is no attempt to make gore and violence something palatable. The way it manages to put us in a different headspace than we’ve ever seen without making us empathize with this monster is admirable. You might not like it, but that doesn’t make Maniac a bad film. (On DVD, October 24, 2021)

So something that I didn't expect to learn today at 3 am...
So it turns out that the Onceler fandom is still alive and kicking here on Tumblr! Didn't expect to actually look at the tags and see them being quite this active tbh. So yeah. The Onceler fandom is still alive, believe it or not!
