Yay, new list!

The number 4 - with waking up from a nightmare screaming - with the detective (again)?

Thank you for doing these! They are fun!

yay new list!! i like doing them, i've got two more ready to go when these are finished lmao. from this prompt list. 425 words.

The Detective was no stranger to bad memories──haunting nightmares about things you can't change, no matter how hard you try, no matter how many different situations you come up with. Sometimes, it was just the thought of something happening that would twist pervertedly in your mind, creating evil versions of things and people──your mind tricking you into thinking things were really happening. It was an unfortunate and devastating prank your brain pulled on you──which was probably why Detective Han didn't sleep much.

Which was why they were still awake when the first scream ripped through your throat.

Out of habit their hand reached down to touch the place where their gun would be holstered to their waist but wasn't. Their hand shook out as they made their way to the bedroom, hand brushing the walls as they rushed through the hallway.

You were still asleep when they found you, thrashing in your bed from side to side──arms flailing at your sides, brow drawn harshly and ineligible words falling from under your breath.

Now, they knew that they probably shouldn't wake you──their brother had told them it could make it worse but their heart hurt just watching you in pain. They knelt down in the bed beside you, slowly lowering their hands to your arms, rubbing up and down gently to try and calm you down.

When your eyes fluttered open, still darting all around in panic they hummed lowly, "It's just me, you're alright. You were having a nightmare, you're coming down from it now." They repeated it a few times, trying to maintain the pace and tone of their words. Your hands came to latch onto their wrists, nails digging into their skin as your breathing evened out and your panic subsided.

There weren't words exchanged after your small whimper of thank you from you. The Detective took a deep breath for themself and pushed back on the niggling feeling of discomfort in their chest─for the thought of being so intimate still felt weird to them, even if it was them wanting to initiate it─and manoeuvred behind you to pull you into their chest, your back flush against their chest, their lips brushing your ear as as they began their little mantra again.

Your cheek nuzzled into their shoulder as you pulled a deep breath through your nose, eyes closed as you feathered your fingers together. And despite the slightly awkward position──and the crick in the neck they'd likely feel in the morning, they'd do it again just to hear you sleep soundly again.

None of the eight episodes for Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities fails to be entertaining, but they’re all entertaining for wildly different reasons. For some, it’s simply the cast being balls-to-the-walls awesome (“Lot 36” & “Graveyard Rats” come to mind). Some are legitimately just scream into the abyss horror (“The Outside” being the greatest female body horror short ever, and no I will not be taking questions). You’ve got some that are just gut punches because you want so badly for things to actually work out for the main character (hello, “Pickman’s Model”). And at least one good del Toro ghost story (“The Murmuring”).

Then you have whatever the fuck “The Autopsy” is which might be my favorite.

Gabinet of Curiosities Episodes Rank (personal opinion)

I enjoy both the works of Guillermo del Toro and the horror/thriller genre.

And the first thing I have to say... is that GoC is not like Netflix's Haunting Series... Haunting of Hill House and Bly Manor are masterpieces compared to the simplicity of Cabinet of Curiosity... however, I think that simplicity was what each episode wanted to achieve... and although I was always left unsatisfied by the end, I still enjoyed most of the episodes... while other episodes I ended up feeling like I had wasted my time...

So to rank them from my least favorite to favorite

8. The Viewing

This is the episode that disappointed me the most, the premise was really good, but the episode was too slow and the action only happened at the end, none of the characters actually call my attention and i didn’t care if one of them was eventually going to die... when I was finally getting interested in the plot, the episode was over and all the monster/alien thing it was more disgusting than terrifying.

7. Lot 36

Great way to start a series. The setup was good, and the conclusion was even better...the part where the monster chases him through the corridors is great...the feeling of not being able to escape...it really made me want to watch more episodes.

6. The Graveyard Rats

I loved the period-time in which it was set. The whole plot taking place in the tunnels gave me a lot of suffocation, the feeling of being trapped. The ending has a very good message.

5. The Outside

It wasn't the scariest but its plot entertained me, I cared about the characters, it has a great message. And the plot kept escalating and escalating without disappointing at the end

4. Dreams in the Witch House

Classic story of a witch and a curse, but the characters were good, the witch design was scary. The story behind the twins made me root for them, and the tragic ending was a nice change.

 3. The Murmuring

Also a classic haunted house story but very interesting, I liked the story behind the ghosts, I cared about the story of the main characters, it had beautiful visuals and messages... it had a very good conclusion and it was a great way to end the series, especially after the disappointment that was episode 7.

2. Pickman’s model

Interesting story, by far the most disturbing. Was for me the one that I built the best, it felt like a whole movie with a great background, a good plot and then the conclusion. It didn’t feel rush or cut short. 

1. The Autopsy 

Where do i even begin? It was my personal favorite, it had me all the time on the edge of my seat. The ending was great. The storyline was very unique. I could easily watch a movie with the same plot.

thinking… thoughts … about how fitzroy & mary had a similar age difference to edvi & elizabeth and thereforrre… how the former might have had a similar dynamic to the latter (if, that, is fitzroy was instead her ‘whole’ sibling, rather than half-sibling… bcus i think in actuality they were always in separate households and didn’t interact much)
