Dog Man movie theory/speculation

Okay so I wanted to talk about a little theory/prediction I have for the movie and some things I noticed in the trailer and merchandise.

This is all just stuff that I've inferred from promotional material but I'll put it under the cut anyway just in case you don't want potential spoilers (and also so it doesn't take up too much space on the dash)

So I was out doing some shopping today and had some money leftover and decided to buy myself that new Petey action figure for the movie

It comes with Petey himself obviously and also various extra accessories and things, typical action figure stuff

One of the extras it comes with is a whiteboard showing some of Petey's evil plans to defeat Dogman. On one side it has 80-HD and on the other it was a grid of a bunch of other plans that he's tried, like the giant vacuum cleaner, the squirrel tank, cloning... All things we've either seen in the trailers or know from the books. But one "plan" that caught me off guard was the drawing of Flippy labelled "Mecha Flippy"

Now obviously Flippy is going to be a character in this movie, that's not a secret. There's shots of him (albeit dead) in the trailer. He's going to be an antagonist and most likely the greater evil that Dogman and Petey have to team up to defeat in the end. I think we all know that

But what's interesting is that this detail on Petey's whiteboard seems to imply that Mecha Flippy was Petey's doing? Which is frankly a WILD lore drop to get from a random promotional toy

My theory is that the movie is going to have Petey be the one to bring Flippy back to life, rather than it happening on accident like in the book. He wants to use Flippy to help him defeat Dogman, but this backfires when Flippy turns out to be far more powerful and far more evil than Petey intended, causing Petey to switch sides and help Dogman stop him instead (possibly because Flippy tries to hurt Li'l Petey like in the book?)

I also just remembered this scene in the trailer where Dogman is supposed to be watching the security cameras of some kind of science facility, one of them showing a dead Flippy in a fishbowl, and the second he turns away Petey breaks in

If my theory about Petey being the one to revive Flippy is correct then this scene makes a lot of sense; Petey is breaking in to the science lab where Flippy is being kept to steal his corpse and bring him back to life later as part of an evil plan

I think this story direction also makes a lot of sense if this happens after Petey's cloning plan fails. He ditches Li'l Petey but still wants a partner in crime to help him take down Dogman, so he brings Flippy, the world's most evil butterfly fish, back to life to hopefully recruit into his plan to destroy all do-gooders

I have so many more little theories and speculations about the movie that I'll probably post in the next couple days before the movie comes out (I want to make a bingo card), but this detail on the action figure was so exciting to me that I just HAD to post my thoughts about it right now because I don't think I've seen anyone else talk about this

Fanfiction updates and excerpts 01.05.25

Hello! I hope everyone's transition into the new year is going alright. Mine is going okay, still playing Silent Hill 2 Remastered and adoring it. I've decided to try to slow down a bit on writing & uploads. In short, this means 2-3 oneshots or chapters a month instead of 4.

Coming up in the next weeks are one Joe/Micah fic for Red Dead Redemption, two Jim/Curly (one of which also has Curly & Anya) for Mouthwashing, and a rarepair crossover Vaughan/Alexia smut fic for the movies Crash and Titane. Explicit excerpts after the cut. Lots of dubcon with noncon elements. Consider yourself warned.

Blood Promise (Red Dead Redemption, Joe/Micah, dubious consent, internalized homophobia, obsession, evil caretaking set after the low honor ending of RDR2)

At least the bruises shaped like Morgan's knuckles are gone. Joe had loathed them. No one gets to touch like this Micah but him. No one gets to smear prickly pear oil across the scabs of the knife wounds. No one gets to reach a little higher to find him fully hard.

Gotcha.

"Don't." It's a rasp, barely audible. "Ain't boys no more."

"I know."

"And I ain't queer."

"Of course not," Joe says, frowning deeply, because while this has something to do with boyhood, this has nothing to do with queerness. This is natural, always has been, his hand tightening around Micah's hardness until he ceases to pull away. "I can tell you're frustrated, boss. I could get a whore to come up here, but with the way women babble, the law could come knocking. Just relax."

.

I'll Cut Off My Right Hand and Stand in Your Shadow (Mouthwashing, Jimmy/Curly, dubious consent, Jimmy is hiding in a closet and watches Curly's ass get wrecked by a random student and he has a lot of violent feelings about it)

Jimmy's hand moved on its own, wrapping the cloth around him and using it as a sleeve. Silicone or even skin would have been more comfortable, but it was nice, because it was Curly's. Besides, donating a pair of shorts was the least he could've done for making Jimmy endure seeing this shit.

Enduring his perfection, writhing underneath the foreign weight, opening up for it. Enduring their differences, because Jimmy would never let himself get treated like this, taking it, sweat dripping off his muscles. Jimmy wondered how tight his little asshole was, whether or not it was strained around the intrusion, clenching prettily, struggling deftly, so perfect in his ruin, his wreck of a friend.

"Can you lay down on your back?" Swimmer asked, ruining the illusion, also with how he slipped out and started pulling at Curly's thighs. "I wanna see your face when I fuck you."

"Sure," Curly exhaled, ever the pliant partner, swallowing down his noises as Swimmer pulled out, getting on his back.

"Good boy," Jimmy whispered, as if it was him Curly submitted to.  

.

Triple Sun part 2 of 3 (Mouthwashing, mostly gen fic with some Jimcurly that deals with the Tulpar Disaster from Curly's POV)

He hoped that he lifted some of Anya's burden, though he probably didn't.

"Did something happen?" she asked him during the day. "Is the pain worse than usual?"

No, he motioned to her and wished he had lips to cover his skeletal grin. 

"She thinks I'm the devil," Jimmy told him at night. "But I'm not, not really. Quite the opposite."

Curly made no response at all except to stare.

Jimmy was so close now, on all fours above Curly on the bed, face inches above his, lips moving. Mumbling to himself. Looking into Curly's eye like he could wrench it open and put himself inside, crawl through him, fill out his body and become who he used to be. 

.

Triple Sun part 3 of 3 (same as above)

"I tried not to think about it, but partying wasn't fun anymore," Anya continued. "I was only studying. I still ... went out with some guys, and it was fine. I kind of used it as evidence that everything was fine. Because I wasn't like, afraid of ... you know. Those things. But I kept flunking the entrance exam. Again and again. Every time I just froze. Couldn't think of a single answer. But as soon as I was home, I knew every damn answer easily as nothing. Oh. Sorry for cursing."

"Don't be," Curly croaked, feeling light-headed.

"I filed a police report six years after the incident. They investigated it, but found no suspects. There wasn't much evidence either. Whenever I meet that old friend group who'd been contacted by the police and were doctors by now, they give me these long pitying looks. I ... The experience taught me that if it ever happened again, I'd need to be quicker. But ... I ... It's not been two years this time, but I still waited. It's been a few weeks. But I'm doing it. I'm doing it right now."

Finally, Anya met Curly's eyes, dark like the night screen above them.

.

Valve (Crossover between Crash and Titane, Vaughan/Alexia, evil bisexual car fetishists doing it to death, sex on top of a car, sex work, language barrier, consensual but not safe or sane)

"80 kilomètres," Justine screams. "Ça va? Alexia, ça va? 

"Oui, j'ai compris ! Oughhh, tu m'énerves, toi et lui tous les deux..."

"Cute," Vaughan sneers, then pushes his hips up – the way his legs creak from the strain lost in the sounds of the motor and the wind – to make Alexia focus on what he's paying her for. Her attention snaps back to him if the way she snaps her strong hips is an indicator, riding him with intent. The squelches are loud. More motor oil covers his thighs and the creased up folds of his jeans and her tiny fucking shorts. He would've liked to grab her ass, squeeze her like her fishnet stockings did in her online videos, girlish and boyish at the same time. Her cunt is hot and tight, but her gaze is made of ice, which will shatter as they plunge into a grande mort in the upcoming crash.

(Hopefully, I'll see you around! 🖤😎)

Lily can't keep her own "Sympathetic" Villains rule straight: Crimson Ender edition

As a reminder, Lily's rules are the villain has to:

1. Have a point

2. Successfully navigate still being a villain

3. Are written well

*She made up these rules AFTER Ant and Crim responded.

Here's Lily's response to Crim's list:

*I'll be indicating I haven't seen/read/etc a thing with N/A. This isn't going to be a totally valid review of course, since I haven't seen everything Crim has. Lily will be docked points for not having seen something if they still fit her rules. To balance it out I will give her points for being accidentally right, or Crim having named a villain who wouldn't fit Lily's criteria, even if Lily wouldn't know that. This is to take the piss, not really serious criticism.

1. N/A

2. As was pointed out on Ant's stream, V is way more morally questionable in the comic. Since Crim indicated he hasn't read the comic (we shall forgive Crim for his sins, for now), we'll go with movie V. A story can have more than one villian, Lily. -1 bullet-proof idea

3. "The Japanese justice system is broken," is a point. Even if Light's solution is bad. -1 potato chip

4. Carry on my wayward son still slaps. And Crowley was introduced in the good seasons. -1 Misha

5. Never played FF7. -1 wing

6. JESUS CHRIST LILY. -1 sick motorcycle slide.

7. OH MY GOD THAT'S HOT TOPIC HEISENBERG'S NAME!? That's like a noise you'd make while sneezing and wonder if you've never seen a doctor. I still can't remember what his deal is, so I'll give it to her. +1 Heart

UPDATE: Xehanort follows Lily's rules. -1 Heart

8. How is Zuko being abused a reason for him but not for Azula? Her father's approval. She's been conditioned her whole life to get it at all costs. -1 Pheonix king

9. Not the protagonist. -1 both ways.

10. He fucking burns the magic flowers and gets his girlfriend killed. -1 auntie

11. N/A

12. N/A

13. N/A

14. Nope. Read a comic. -1 fucking death kiss Lily

15. Gollum doesn't fit Lily's criteria, though he is a sympathetic villain. Fuck you very much for that cute little jab. Can't help yourself, can you Lily? +1 Lily being vile.

16. He's not letting her die in peace Lily and his grief is hurting everyone around him. -1 Nora

17. You heard him. Read a book Lily. -1 paradise

18. N/a

19. THE GREEK GOD LILY. -1 Pomegranate seed

20. I don't remember which Eric this is supposed to be. Crim if you see this comment and I'll update. For now N/A

Update: Phantom. Follows Lily's rules. -1 Poorly aged stereotype.

21. Queer and doesn't watch AHS. -1 pride

22. Don't know which Johnny this is. Again, Crim, comment if you see this. N/A

Update: Johnny the homicidal maniac. Doesn't follow Lily's rules. +1 animal nailed to the wall

23. YOU HAVEN'T SEEN DWP EITHER? -1 Lily hates the gays

24. Lily's arguing with a fictional character's anger management problems. -1 Joanna

25. Misogyny. Cheating. Sister who betrays her own kin. This should be familiar ground for you Lily. -1 ice

26. N/a

27. N/a

28. No surprise there honestly. -1 Eclipse

29. Manger la merde. -1 Day Moooooore

30. Again, doesn't really fit Lily's criteria, but Starscream is sympathetic. -1 Megatron WHICH MAKES ME THE LEADER OF THE DECEPTICONS!!

31. --->"BROTHERHOOD OF EVIL MUNTANTS"<--- Also She's infamously comics most hot mess mom. READ A COMIC. -1 "She's Nightcrawler's mother, AND MY MOTHER TOO!!"

32. Doesn't fit Lily's criteria, isn't really sympathetic . . . But is a loveable idiot. I wouldn't blame someone for considering him sympathetic. +1 bacon in the soap

33. Depends on the version. I'd agree with Lily the doctor is the villain in the original novel. That doesn't justify Lily unjustifiably Crim meant the original novel just to make that snide remark. I bet my ass she can't tell you what the actual title of Mary Shelley's book is. Most people would assume the 1931 film, where The Monster both is a sympathetic antagonist, and fit's Lily's criteria. I'll give Lily a half point. +0.5 dead women

34. I don't feel confident enough in my homestuck lore knowledge to comment. Haven't read it, but have learned an unreasonable amount through cultural osmosis. N/a

35. N/A

36. The book is better. -1 Gravity

37. Codependency issues are your bread and butter, I wouldn't be making that argument if I were you. -1 Cat

38. N/a

39. N/a

40. I don't remember if these characters have a reason for fucking about as they do, but they are sympathetic(ish). There's no way Lily has seen anything other than the dic dub though so she's more lucky than right.+1 Magical Girl transformation

Update: Kagura from Inuyasha. Follows Lily's rules. -1 Sit

46. I'm guessing Crim didn't mean the Omega Man one. N/a

Update: Gargoyles. Follows Lily's rules. -1 Goliath

47. OH MY GOD LILY FOR FUCKS SAKE YOU CAN'T WATCH THE FUCKING NOLAN FILMS AND ASSUME THAT'S SUFFICIENT TO MAKE YOU AN EXPERT ON ALL OF BATMAN. -1 READ👏 A👏 FUCKING👏 COMIC👏

48. Sympathetic, doesn't fit Lily's criteria. +1 fat panda

49. Lily gets another point on a technicality. +1 dream of electric sheep.

50. Again, not a surprise. -1 Pizza Hut

LILY'S SCORE: 29.5/50

59% - C-

Got 29 wrong.

Got 8.5 right.

Taking away the ones I didn't know: 7.5/33

22% - F

What are some of your favorite horror films/television series? 🎃

Ooh ok umm I really love the Evil Dead series, i have had a crush on Bruce Campbell since I was like 4 lol

My all time favorite in terms of monster movies, my heart belongs to The Creature From the Black Lagoon. That was the first monster movie I remember seeing at 3 or 4 years old and I wore the vhs out because I watched it so much. Those films seriously never get enough love and it breaks my heart.

I became extremely fond of Midnight Mass, the whole storyline of grief, religious trauma, and vampires won me over and I will sit and watch it whenever I get the chance.

Also as someone who is a latina and was raised south texas catholic and has a ton of religious trauma it was cathartic in a way and it reminded me of a song I did like when I was little called Be Not Afraid and I would hum it during the show and I felt like the song would have been a nice addition to the show.

Another favorite of mine is Lady in White, it's more of family friendly horror film. I was about 5 or so when I first saw it and the storyline of Frankie trying to help the ghost of young Melissa solve her murder and find her mom was something that just stuck with me.

Monster Squad is another family friendly movie that I absolutely love, I just saw this one recently with my 5 year old and I was about his age when I first saw it. He liked it and I'm glad.

I could honestly go on and on when it comes to horror movies.

I was raised on them and it honestly does take a lot to scare me and I think new films wise the Insidious films actually got me and I watch those often

But ultimate comfort horror films for me are zombie movies. I have always been terrified of them but I love zombie movies. I grew up watching Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead.

I am also very fond of Diary of the Dead and Land of the Dead.

George A Romero is one of my favorites.

Ok I'll stop now cause I have a doctor's appointment to get ready for lol

[stupidlittlespirit]

dyou have any horror recommendations??

I'm going to assume you mean movie-wise because I don't really play horror games! (except Alien Isolation)

I'll put them below as a list, they're not in any particular order or ranking, they're just my top favourites :) I watch a lot of non-English language stuff so I'll put in if they're 'FLF' too to make it easier if you're not into those.

I highly recommend watching these blind. You get a much better experience. Use doesthedogdie and IMDB parent's guide for triggers; just search for your specific triggers with ctrl + F so you don't spoil yourself with other stuff. I have tried to put in what might be triggering but it varies

Senritsu Kaiki Files (Japan) - hard to find but there are links out there. It has a similar premise to Mob Psycho but is more grown up and a live action found footage. There are about 10 'movies', though they're more like hour long TV episodes. Hilarious, spooky, made by the great Koji Shiraishi. I'd also recommend Occult by the same director.

Hereditary (English) - I know people think this is overhyped, I personally believe it's one of the best movies of the modern age. Very poignant for abuse survivors and people affected by grief. All of Aster's movies are (imo) made for people who have lived through familial abuse.

Midsommer (English) - Again, as above. Aster is my favourite.

Evil Dead (2013) (English) - Fede Alvarez is another major favourite. This is a remake of the original by Sam Raimi. It has a darker, more morbid tone and is brutal as fuck. Personally, it's a comfort movie because I like horrible shit LMAO. Insane soundtrack too.

Cloverfield (English) - One of the first FF movies I ever saw. It is the stereotypical will-give-you-motion-sickness kind of movie if you're sensitive to those kinds of things but I think it adds to the real-feel panic.

Satan's Slaves and its sequel Satan's Slaves: Communion (Indonesian) - By Joko Anwar, another absolute favourite. Communion is imo better than the first. Very creepy. I really enjoy Anwar's movies because I have a lot of interest in Islamic horror/folklore. It's very rich and diverse, plus Anwar himself speaks a lot about the cultural and political aspects too.

The Queen of Black Magic (Indonesian) - Another Anwar. This is a remake of the 70's movie of the same name. Batshit insane final half hour, too.

Grave Torture (Indonesian) - Another Anwar again! Talks about the political/sociological stuff around Islam as a faith and has discussion on male sexual abuse (nothing explicit but implied, plus it's handled very well and gives great empathy to male-male abuse).

Alien: Romulus (English) - Duh. Another by Fede Alvarez.

All of the other Alien movies, except Covenant because it sucked.

The Substance (English) - Last twenty minutes is crazy. Really satirical view of misogyny.

MadS (French) - This movie is crazy because it is all a single shot. It was done over the course of one solid night and took like 4 takes to get right, which is mad for a debut film. Don't look up what it's about beforehand.

It's what's inside (English) - I only saw this a few days ago and was pleasantly surprised. Cool visuals and fun premise. Probably could have used another 40 minutes to finalise the ending as it felt a bit rushed but overall enjoyed it a lot.

When Evil Lurks (Spanish, Argentina) - Demian Rugna, yet another fav. Brutal, insane and metaphorically represents the awful things America/the Argentine government/capitalism did to the country. If you can stomach it, you'll find the inspiration even more horrifying. Monsanto are evil.

Terrified (Spanish, Argentina) - Rugna, again. Equally as brutal as the above. Opens viciously and continues with some of the creepiest stuff I've seen.

The Coffee Table (Spanish) - Dude this movie is so tense and devastating. Brutal. I felt so stressed watching it. It's only 90 minutes but GOD it feels endless.

Talk to me (English) - Fun, unique. A good time and quite creepy.

Late Night with the Devil (English) - This one feels like an SCP entry. Half FF and half studio. I enjoyed it.

Shin Godzilla (Japan) - Easily the best Godzilla movie. Body horror and the coolest fucking nuke laser Gojira ever. Some great metaphors for the things America did to Japan and some really cool, creative shots.

The V/H/S series (Multiple lang) - These are anthologies. There's about 4 or 5 separate editions. Not all of the segments are great but the ones that are are really fun.

The Fly (English) - Jeff Goldblum is naked/half naked in 60 percent of this and there's body horror, so it's amazing.

Inside (French) - The French are well known for their extreme horror and this is the definition of it. Avoid if you don't like intense gore.

The Wailing (S Korean) - Long, like most SK movies, but it needs to be. Creepy, sad, funny and very beautiful.

Exhuma (S Korean) - Gorgeous movie full of beautiful people. Cool bait and switch, with a very nice example of very accurate local witchcraft.

The Ritual (English) - Lads lads lads! Great British horror with old god ties.

Noroi (Japan) - FF supernatural. Creepy and uncomfortable.

Bone Tomahawk (Enlgish) - Fucking COWBOYS BABYYYYY! Brutal. Kurt Russell is in it so 10/10.

Hatching (Dutch) - Cute, gross. Story about a girl who adopts a monster. I got the joy of watching the creature puppeteer give a talk at a con and it was very cool to see how it worked.

These aren't all of my favs but it's a good start! I have a Letterboxd but I don't maintain it because I'm lazy, so it's got a few movies on it that aren't listed as well as non-horror stuff.

Let me know if you watch any and what you think of them. I love to talk about films LMAO

EXTREMELY OBSCURE GENRES:

OFF-BEAT NOSTALGIC ANIMATION WEEK

I re-watched Felix The Cat: The Movie (1988)

Haven't seen this since I was a little kid. By all accounts it's super weird.

-Felix ends up in a strange world where he must rescue a princess from an evil lord.-

100% honesty, right now in my living room, ticking away, is a Felix The Cat wall clock. I have loved Felix The Cat since I was a kid, and to this day, I'll take that little black cat and his magic bag of tricks over Mickey Mouse and his corporate bullshit. He's a 100% better character in every way. Be that as it may, sadly, Felix didn't get the kind of film treatment that Mickey and his gaggle of friends received. Felix got this. A 1988 movie with inconsistent animation and a bad script. Tis a shame.

"Felix The Cat: The Movie" was directed by Hungarian animation director Tibor Hernádi, who I know almost nothing about.

Genuinely, I enjoyed this movie. It definitely felt more like watching a weird Saturday morning cartoon rather than a movie, but it wasn't boring, it wasn't long, and it was weird and dark enough to go down easy. From the moment Felix teased the skull of a dead man for laughs, I felt good about this one.

The film is definitely sloppy, but it has a good pace with minimal plot to have to keep up with. Every few minutes seems like a new situation, a new bit of action and new weirdness. I can see why this captured my attention as a kid. It's bright, flashy and a lot is happening and happening quickly. The whole plot amounts to a princess needing to be saved from a generic villain. The rest of the film is filled with kooky characters doing kooky things.

Certainly, this could become a tad annoying for adults. There isn't much to hang your hat on or get involved in. Plus, Felix's voice is as grating as Mickey Mouse's on a good day. However, I guarantee you'd rather watch this with your kids than that wiggles bullshit. Personally, I got a little bored after the halfway mark, but that's pretty good when it comes to me and children's films. I was less bored than the second half of "The Last Unicorn", that's for sure. (By the way, "The Last Unicorn" is the next movie I'm reviewing.

This is certainly nostalgia approved, especially if you like television animation from this era. Also, it's not bad for kids to watch, which can be a concern with children's films from the 1980's.

It's weird, its uneven, it's a bit ugly, but it's not as bad as some people would have you believe.

Hey bae, I've enjoyed your lords of chaos fics so far and I really liked the hcs and I just wanted to ask you could make one for necrobutcher? He was so fine in the movie but no one ever talks about him :)

Hello anon happy that you enjoyed my works so far. Pretty cute in the movie but the only voice of reason. So I hope and everyone else likes this little story and as always have fun readinf :)

It's over

warning : fluff, hurt/comfort, mention of suicide

masterlist

Disclaimer : I don't want to glorify anything, it's about the actors who play a role, not the real events.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

°The two of you actually met in the supermarket one day. You wanted to buy something for you and your flatmate, who didn't really have anything any more. Almost the same was true for Necrobutcher the bass player and member of Mayhem he was still something like the voice of reason.

°Just as she was going to the section with the muesli and other packaged foods, she saw a black-haired young man. From then on, the two of you got into a conversation, or rather, he made the first move. A bad joke, a little laugh and a question about what all the patches on his jacket were for.

°There was a spark between the dark mysterious basist and the simple medical student. Which is why he not only wrote her number on her hand, but also lied her into the next rehearsal of Mayhem in the dried-out hut.

°She would be lying if she didn't find him attractive. There was something about him that was slightly mysterious, funny, realistic and, from what she had heard, not as evil as the news described all those statists. Which is why she went to the cottage at the weekend.

°When she arrived and went into the old hut, she quickly realised that it had seen better days. ,,Hey, Y/n, come with me, I'll show you the others!" he called cheerfully from the kelelr and wrapped her in a hug before they went downstairs. There she met the rest of the band from mayhem - nice but somehow strange people.

°Sitting down on the floor, she watched the band animatedly. Even though the music wasn't really her cup of tea at first, she soon felt herself swaying and humming along to the lyrics and cheering the band on. Before she pulled Necrobutcher into her arms, slightly embarrassed, and praised him.

°Staying with the band throughout the day, a small partx took place in the evening, where she not only had fun but also sat on the couch with the black-haired man and watched a film to ignore the noise from outside. He had his arm around her and she had her head on his shoulder. A cute moment that ended the evening with them kissing. The first kiss of many that night the two somehow ended up in a relationship.

°She quickly realised how sensitive, emotional and devoted he was. He listened to her problems, hugged her, kissed her and was there for her. He was indeed the most socially normal of mayhem and understood her worries that one day something might happen. Even though they both supported each other.

°But the day came when it would happen. The suicide of Dead and Euroynmou's exaggeration. He had gone too far and exploited his friend's death just for the sake of success. That same day, she got a call from Necrobutcher from a phone box who was more than upset and asked her to pick him up because his bike had a flat.

°As soon as she got into her car and drove off, she was worried. It was bound to happen sometime, she thought bitterly and sadly, before stopping at the phone box a few minutes later and getting out. She held the distraught and almost tearful Necrobutcher in her arms for a moment. She just held him and he mumbled and apologised for something he couldn't do.

°Then they loaded the fahard into the car and drove to him, as his family was not there at the moment anyway. Sitting down together on the couch, he rested his head on her lap and was quiet. But she was also quiet and just stroked his head. ,,It's going to be all right...they're gone, you don't have to go there any more," she said and only saw the brief nod. A moment later he sat down and wrapped her in a grateful kiss and held her hand. ,,Thank you for everything," he murmured and put his hand on her cheek.

°Not knowing that the past would catch up with them both. The suicide was only the beginning, then Faust's murder of the gay man and finally Varg's murder of euronymous. It was terrible, and yet the two survived the time together. They moved in together, helped each other and lived normal, free lives as best they could. Knowing that the horror had only made them both stronger.

💚 for young Taivan?

💚 true love's kiss / magic kiss / healed

They're eleven when Taissa realizes Van has nowhere to go after school. This is apparently unacceptable.

"I'm good," Van protests, but Tai's already told her parents, and they aren't thrilled with the idea of a sixth grader chilling by herself. For some reason. Van doesn't understand what difference it makes; she's alone at home most of the time, too, and that always works out just fine. What's the big deal about latchkey?

It's a battle she tries to wage for exactly three days, at which point Tai says, "If you come over after school, you can make me watch all your dumb movies."

She pretty much gives up on the war at that point, because A) movies, and B) Taissa's lying about finding them dumb. Taissa loves the movies Van picks, except for the ones that are too scary ("I'm tired of watching the Black character die all the time," she complains, which is fair) and the ones that are too mushy ("Those guys suck, and the girls just marry them anyway? It's so gross," she complains, and--yeah, true on that point, too).

Today's movie is neither scary, nor mushy. It's great. It's one of the greatest in existence, and somehow, Taissa hasn't seen it.

She complains, of course. It's just because she likes watching Van's ears turn pink, and because she likes when Van argues with her by rehashing the best parts while they're still onscreen. Van knows this, because Tai told her as much at a sleepover once. She might have been talking in her sleep, but Van still believed her.

Anyway, complaints or not, Taissa has to admit this is the best movie in the world once it's over. And, as with all the best movies, she agrees to expand on the story with scenes of their own afterward.

"You're Princess Buttercup," Van informs her. "And I'm Westley."

"Of course you are." Tai rolls her eyes. "You just want to be a hot sword-fighting pirate."

"Duh." Does Tai think Westley is hot? The idea burns the back of Van's neck. He's fine, she supposes; better than most leading men, but nowhere near the princess' level.

Doesn't matter. This part does. She fumbles through Tai's closet, digging out a black sweater and a silky scarf. "Can I cut eyeholes into this?" she asks. Taissa shrugs.

"Sure. I've got a bunch."

The effect isn't perfect, but it gets the job done. Clad in pirate attire, with Taissa in a dress she says is mostly just for church, Van flops backward onto the bed.

"Now. I'm dead."

"Mostly dead," Tai corrects. Van bites back a giggle.

"Uh huh. Knew you were paying attention. Okay, so here's the moment you have to kiss me."

"Kiss you?" Tai repeats, bewildered. "What for?"

"Uh, because it's true love's kiss. It's the kiss to end all kisses! It's romantic, man!" She shuts her eyes and sticks her tongue out of the corner of her mouth. "Also because, if you don't, I'll stay dead."

"Mostly dead. This is stupid." Even so, she feels the mattress dip as Taissa climbs up beside her. "When do I do it?"

"Soon. The evil prince is on his way, and I need to be able to stab him to death with my sword."

"You don't have a sword," says Taissa sensibly. Van flaps a hand at her.

"I'll find one. But first, you have to--"

"Fine," Tai scoffs. There's a beat, as if she's considering her angles--or maybe running off and leaving Van to take a nap by herself. Then, so suddenly, it makes Van jump, she's pressing a kiss against Van's lips.

It's warmer than she'd expected. Weird--but not bad weird. She's never considered the shape of Tai's lips before, how different they are from her own. Never considered Tai's breath, either, which still tastes of the peanut butter crackers they'd scarfed during the movie.

True love's kiss is, on the whole, nothing like she'd imagined. Still, it's nice, and when Tai pulls away, Van sits bolt upright.

"I live!" she cries in her best mad scientist voice. It doesn't exactly suit The Princess Bride, but oh well. She leaps from the bed, racing to the foyer closet and digging out an umbrella. "En garde!"

"You," Tai says, laughing, "are so stupid."

"Stupid," Van agrees, "but alive! True love's kiss strikes again! C'mon, grab a fire poker. I can't fight alone."

The evil prince never stood a chance.

I'd never leave here without you (part 2) kit walker x fem reader

Warnings: punishment from sister jude, escaping the asylum, mentions of blackmailing, threadson

Part 1 here

A/n: so kit got the most votes in the poll yesterday but don't worry Jeff is next to be posted 😊

•¤❅¤•.•°˚˚°•..•°˚˚°•.•¤❅¤•.•¤❅¤•.•°˚˚°•. .•°˚˚°

After being caught by sister jude you and kit were in for it, she ordered you both to come to her office for your punishment the anxiety ripped through you, biting your nails as you and kit walked with jude to her office.

You glanced at him to see he was already looking at you, the look of dread in his eyes as well as yours, you swallowed a lump in your throat as the two of you neared your punishment.

Sister jude opened the door to her office allowing you and kit to enter, the anxiety ripped through you both fearing of the punishment you will receive, "now kit, y/n you both know that what you did back there is not acceptable in this facility" sister jude started as you and kit sat on the chairs awaiting what punishment she was going to settle for.

"It wasn't y/n sister it was all my fault I started it I should be punished not y/n" kit interrupted standing from his seat

"Kit I'm not stupid I saw her kissing you back your both equally as guilty" sister jude smirked pointing her finger at you both, kit sighed at his failed attempt to get you out of the punishment.

You swallowed another lump in your throat as sister jude eyed you both up with the evil smirk on her face before making her way to the closet containing the whips picking one you hated the most.

"10 for you y/n and 20 for kit since he tried to lie for you" she said, you closed your eyes awaiting your punishment bent over the table.

After your punishment you had to watch kit getting punished, leaving the room the backs of your legs aching going to the common room, "I had enough of this place" you winced seating yourself on a comfortable chair, "we're getting out of here y/n" kit whispered so only you could hear.

Kit looked around making sure no one had heard waiting on your response, "how kit this place has eyes and ears everywhere" you whispered back in disbelief that you could actually make it out of here.

"Movie night we go then" he informed all you did was nod waiting till it was more private and secluded to have a proper discussion about the escape plan.

You had been planning for days looking at all the exit points even a hidden tunnel actually leading to the freedom outside, now was finally the time to make your escape, your nerves on end as you managed to make it out the common room down the hallways.

"Wait" a voice startling you and kit you turned around finding shelly running towards you both, "Don't leave here without me please" she begged you knew shelly didn't deserve to be in here because she wasn't scared to say what she liked, you glanced at kit for his approval he only nodded "come on then" he said making our way to the exit.

You cut a corner at there was a guard right there you stopped dead in your tracks eyes wide open, "we aren't going to get away" you whispered in fear the guard coming closer, "I'll distract him you go on but don't leave without me" shelly said waltzing out the corner you heard her seducing the guard keeping a look out for the coast to clear.

You and kit slipped out of the hallway  and into this tunnel like place running as far as your legs could take you, finally feeling that cold wind and rain hit you both that feeling of being free couldn't be a more victorious feeling to you both, "we did it, we did it y/n" kit beamed lifting you up in the air you couldn't help but laugh against his lips peppering his soft lips with kisses.

Just as you were almost out of sight of the asylum you both heard noises strange noises like a beast outside, it scared you, "kit I don't know about this anymore what's that noise" you said your eyes constantly scanning the perimeter around you, the fear and anxiety sending you into panic mode you were free both of you could run as far as you could and never look back.

But something was telling you to go back that there was danger ahead, "kit please can we go back I don't like the noises it's like a wild animal out here or something" you whispered now Clinging into kit's arm for dear life, "y/n we've got this far already no body noticed we're gone yet probably if we just run we can make it to another state change our name start fresh" kit said holding your shoulders trying to convince you that it was a good idea.

"But would that just make them think your even more guilty when you never did anything kit, plus we will be looking over our shoulders for the rest of our lives I don't want that for us we will be proven innocent one day I know it" you pleaded with him one of kit's thumbs wiping your tears away.

Just as kit was about to say something a loud growling noise was heard once again only this it it was much closer to you both, "RUN Y/N" kit yelled grabbing your hand both of you running back to the asylum for some sort of safety you tried your hardest not to trip over your own feet with the sand shoes you were wearing plus with how much faster kit ran.

You both made it back to the asylum without being caught and luckily unnoticed by anyone, you were soaked through sitting on the wooden chairs you glanced at kit who was already staring at you, the feeling of guilt and disappointment washed over you if you weren't so scared of those noises you could have been well away by now.

You mouthed a "I'm sorry" to kit he gave you a sympathetic smile and mouthed back "don't worry" to you but that was all you did was worry, sister jude came storming into the common room sending you all to bed you and kit could leave quick enough before sister jude noticed your soaked frame saying goodnight to each other awaiting the next day.

The next day you sat in the common room a cigarette in hand talking with lana, taking a drag of your cigarette you see kit walking into the common room going to seat right next to you, "Hey" he mumbled you offered him a cigarette from your packet which he took from you with a small smile.

"Thanks doll" he said lighting his cigarette taking a long drag letting the nicotine full his lungs, "so are you two like official now or?" Lana asked you and kit never told anyone about you both in fear that someone will tell sister jude on you both, "well yeah we are but you can not say anything to anyone" you said trusting lana with your secret.

"I promise" lana smiled bringing her cigarette to her lips taking a drag, you glanced at kit with a bright smile feeling good that you could actually tell someone about your current status instead of keeping it to yourselves.

A little while later you were back on kitchen duty with kit being given one more chance to work together, "kit I'm sorry about last night we were so close and now because of me we're back to square one" you sighed mopping the floor, "Don't worry doll it's not your fault at all we would probably not have wanted to be near whatever that noise was anyway" kit reassured you placing a kiss on your head.

"We will get out of here I promise" kit whispered keeping you close to his embrace not wanting to let you go, that's when you set your mind to getting out of here if it's the very last thing you do.

Time went on and a big shock to the system happened sister jude was now a patient in braircliff Manor after have a huge breakdown, lana managed to get out of the asylum with Dr thredson but was back as she escaped the now viscous man, that one was a shock to you all you knew from the get go that kit was not bloody face but to find out it was his psychiatrist that was assessing him was infact the killer took the biscuit.

You, kit and lana planed to catch threadson out on his actions wanting justice for kit and his victims, and before you knew it it had all worked threadson was caught and dead lana got out and so did kit but he didn't leave without you, with a little bit of blackmail you were free in the back of a cab kit's arm wrapped around you holding you close.

Finally free without looking behind your shoulder just free to live the peaceful life you always wanted, the taxi came to a halt outside a secluded house you thought it was a very cute house to live in, "here we are home sweet home" kit smiled once you were out of the taxi making your way up those steps.

"I must warn you it's a complete mess in here" kit stated you just smiled and shook your head not minding any place is better than where you spent the last four years of your life, you entered the home instantly hit with the smell of kit making you feel warm inside, safe and comforted.

"It won't take us long to clean this up anyway kit" you said taking in the home whilst peeling your jacket off your body, placing it over the coat hangers at the side of the door, you then felt two arms wrap around your body pulling you close, "kit thank you" you whispered a stray tear slipping out your eye.

Kit turned your body to face him now seeing that you were crying, "Hey you don't need to thank me I did promise I'd never leave there without you and I didn't because I love you" he smiled pecking your lips "I know it's just I'm not used to people keeping promises and the fact that you did and got me out there with you I could never thank you enough" you chuckled as kit wiped your tears away.

"Come on doll let's get started making this place our home" kit smiled and with that the new chapter of your life opened with kit you couldn't wait for what the future held for you both, you finally got what you always wanted freedom, love and a home with kit you felt like the luckiest girl in the world

What I'm Watching: April 2024

Back at it again with Rocky Horror Picture Show, A Knight's Tale, The Exorcist, Doom Patrol, Hard Candy, and Dead Boy Detectives. I did a lot of regular writing this month and it used up words that would have gone into this, so bear with me.

Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)

A newly-engaged couple have a breakdown in an isolated area and must seek shelter at the bizarre residence of Dr. Frank-n-Furter.

I think I was still riding the very distinct high of Repo! when I decided to throw this on, and I think they'd make a good double feature. Shockingly, this was only my second all-the-way-through watch, and I can't tell you why that is, because I love this movie. I'm familiar with the discourse, but I'm in the camp of "context is everything" and back in the day? This was groundbreaking. Even now, the general celebration of embracing what gives you joy no matter what anyone else has to say about it is nothing to scoff at. And yeah, I cried at the ending. Do something about it. I am, however, ashamed to say that I did not do the time warp this time around...but I sang along, so that counts.

A Knight's Tale (2001)

After his master dies, a peasant squire, fueled by his desire for food and glory, creates a new identity for himself as a knight.

Kind of at a loss for this one, ngl. This was a combined favorite between me and my brother when we were younger, and we did in fact run through two VHS copies over the years (which reminds me that I still need to get my hands on a DVD). Not only does it hold up, but I think it's even better coming back to it after so long. The nostalgia still hits, and age/experience makes some elements hit harder. But god DAYUM, did it make me bawl. Found family, underdogs beating the odds, and Heath fucking Ledger. I'm still mourning that man, and I will until the day I die. If you've gotten used to me yelling about Mike Flanagan ensembles, then apply any one of those tirades here, because the supporting cast is Excellent™. This is the movie that introduced me to Alan Tudyk, Mark Addy, and James Purefoy, who have yet to disappoint me, and it also kick-started my crush on Paul Bettany. What can I say? I'm a sucker for the snarky smooth talkers who are simultaneously the smartest little shits in the bunch and also cringefail losers. And the soundtrack? Speaks for itself. You can't separate the music from the movie, and to this day I'll hear songs used and still think of this movie before anything else. This was the first place I heard my favorite David Bowie song! (I unfortunately lost my train of thought for the rest of this section, but) If for some reason you haven't watched this yet, I highly recommend it. It's fun, hilarious, and occasionally heartwarming. It's medieval Rocky! What else is there to say?

The Exorcist (1973)

When a young girl is possessed by a mysterious entity, her mother seeks the help of two Catholic priests to save her life.

I'm also at a loss on this one. Everyone has a few classics they just can't get on board with, and this is one of mine. Maybe it's just that religious horror doesn't do it for me, or that some nitpicks I have with the pacing and editing take me right out of it. Don't know, don't really care. None of that, of course, is to say that I think this is a bad movie, which is the most annoying part. I want to like it more than I do! Believe me! But the stuff that I take issue with kinda blow the whole thing for me. I already made a separate complaint post, so I'll focus on everything else here. Linda Blair and Ellen Burstyn carry this thing on their permanently injured backs (look up the production of this movie if you want to have a bad time) and there's no contesting that. Yeah, sure, the whole question of faith plot is no doubt compelling, it's moving as shit when good triumphs over evil, blah blah don't really care. The strongest aspect of the movie for me is the relationship between the MacNeils. You can't spend so much time establishing how close they are and how much they love (and like!) each other and expect me not to latch onto them. The entire point of that time spent is to make it hit that much harder when Chris breaks down in desperation to help her daughter. Tell me you don't feel something when she's sobbing and begging Father Karras to do something for Regan. Juxtapose that with how detached Karras is from his own mother and his guilt that he wasn't there for her when she needed someone, just for funsies.

Doom Patrol (2019-2023)

The adventures of an idealistic mad scientist and his field team of superpowered outcasts.

Ok. OK. You've been seeing my meltdowns ever since I started this, but that doesn't even scratch the surface of how weird/fun/cathartic this show is. I knew I loved it as soon as I saw certain casting announcements back in 2018 without knowing literally ANYTHING else about it. I'm just getting into season two, and I've already cried so much over these broken, chaotic, disasterpiece losers. Again, not many words for the roundup, but expect more meltdowns.

Hard Candy (2005)

Hayley's a smart, charming teenage girl. Jeff's a handsome, smooth fashion photographer. An Internet chat, a coffee shop meet-up, an impromptu fashion shoot back at Jeff's place. Jeff thinks it's his lucky night. He's in for a surprise.

Impossible--IMPOSSIBLE--to overstate how much this movie means to me. Discovering it when I was getting serious about writing changed the way I write. Learning about production changed the way I watch movies. And finding this story of all stories, exactly when I needed it, probably did more to keep me in one piece than we have time to discuss here. THANK. GOD. It still works. This one is right up there with Perfect Blue in that it skeeved me out so bad the first time I saw it that I had no intention of going back to it ever again, but the longer it sat with me, the harder it was to shake it off. The older I get, the harder it is to sit through, and I think that works 100% in its favor. I'm not about to make this standard practice, but here's the trailer, included because it's still my favorite that I've ever seen:

Leaving aside the story for awhile, the whole thing is top notch. Barring maybe fifteen minutes, the entire movie is one location and two characters. Naturally, things have to stay interesting somehow, and the script alone kicks ass. There is maybe one scene that could be cut, but that's it. Everything else builds off of everything that came before. The cinematography stays dynamic, with gorgeous wide shots and intimate close ups, smooth and sweeping movement during quiet moments and frenetic handheld action when shit goes down. The color palette of the set and the editing is harsh and atmospheric. The sound design is *chef kiss* crisp. And the performances pull all of that together. If the premise of 30-something guy and 14-year-old girl meeting online and then in person at his place isn't icky enough, then seeing how Jeff and Hayley interact with each other will do it. Patrick Wilson sells you on the charming groomer, and his casual delivery of some of these lines are, in context, fucking horrifying. Contrast that with Elliot Page, equally charming in the opposite direction, trying so hard to be mature and impressive. Each one knows they shouldn't be meeting the way they are and acknowledge how inappropriate the whole situation is, and with the first line of dialogue you get hit with this sense of dread over what is going to happen to this kid. And then the first twist happens. It's an interesting power dynamic, each trying to get one over on the other and overlaid with this commentary on predators in online spaces, how abuse victims are often dismissed and persecuted, and how the perpetrators of some of the most vile crimes you can think of never have to answer for what they do. It is baked into nearly every scene, and it could read very easily as soapboxy or heavy handed, but Page delivers it with rage and disgust, and paired with Hayley's moments of distress and vulnerability, it paints a very visceral picture that is so. Fucking. Cathartic. If I have to boil this one down to a single statement, it's "how you wish Lolita had gone."

Dead Boy Detectives (2024-)

Charles Rowland and Edwin Paine decided not to enter the afterlife to stay on Earth and investigate crimes that involve supernatural stuff.

WATCH THIS SHOW. FINISH THE WHOLE THING. I WANT A SECOND SEASON.

Trevor Belmont:

[clit-a-cola]

Im dead serious. Jaden was physically forced onto the stage in front of a crowd of people, despite showing clear signs of not wanting to be there. Jaden was then stripped naked in front of said crowd by someone she barely knows while everyone watches on smiling and leering at her exposed body. Explain how that is not textbook sexual assault?

I know I shouldn't bother with trying to be precise and exact in my analysis with you guys, because I know you will always interpret every statement I make as malicious and evil.

But I'm going to try for posterity's sake.

The concept of "cajoled/pushed into a benign activity by friends in order to facilitate plot/something fun" is a trope in various medias from rom coms to anime to slice of life lifetime movies. The shy yet talented woman pushed towards her romantic interest on the dance floor or the protagonists bff locking her in a room with her crush. It is usually done to characters who are not very outgoing or who lack social finesse as a means to encourage them to interact with others.

It is also a thing that happens in real life. Much like your friends lightly pressuring you to do karaoke or trying a new food. Grabbing your phone and sending a quick "Hey what's up :)" to your crush or dragging you along to go check out the woods off the hiking trail even though you don't really feel like it. Friends try to help friends get out of their comfort bubble and try new things all the time.

This is what is occurring here.

This is not Jaden being "physically forced on stage" this is "Jaden's friends tossing her on stage and her other friend gives her a make over".

You will notice also that they entire time she is being led to the stage she is not fighting back or dragging or anything despite being fully physically capable. She is walking with them. She is not drawn as being scared or angry, but instead annoyed and maybe a bit anxious. She is not saying she doesn't want to do this. Instead, she's making excuses and complaining about the method on which she was chosen to go up there.

Much like in real life, this behavior is all short hand for "I'll do it but I think this is dumb."

Once on stage Jaden is completely capable of getting up and leaving whenever she wants. Hell she could physically fight Ari if she chose. But she chooses to sit there and be part of Ari's lil show off moment. She does not yell or scream or look out to anyone for help or even freeze up. Her expression is either a bit confused or a bit bashful (or startled by the clack of the divider lol). She is just seeing where all of this is going.

Even on the current page (the one, if I'm not mistaken, you paid money to see early) Jaden's silhouette is just surprised. The closest we get to actual discomfort expressed by Jaden is the "What are you doing?" which is quickly tossed out for "Where are you getting these clothes?" She is at first startled, but quickly moves on to (understandable) confusion as to how the hell Ari has all these clothes.

And lastly, before you say "oh but but but!!!! This is her workplace! She can't say no because she risks getting fired!!!" Ruth has been shown to be nothing but understanding and supportive of Jaden since day one. Giving her time off after her face time on the door after she's injured, checking in on how she's healing up. Shez has almost certainly explained the level of personal investment Ruth has on the well being of her employees.

You could argue Jaden is still in her "I don't want to let anyone down" mindset, or perhaps fearful of disappointing all the new friends she has recently made while working at Yonique. I will give you that.

But otherwise? Idk I tried to help you understand basic human interaction, romcom tropes, and comic book short hand but at some point YOU gotta choose to absorb what I'm saying man I'm not a teacher.

When it came down to my favorite slasher movie of all time it had to include my favorite slasher of all time. Unfortunately I couldn’t decide between a lot of them so I chose the movie that had two of them against each other.

As many of you know, at the end of Jason Goes to Hell, Jason’s mask is ripped off and lands on a pile of dirt. The camera zooms in on it and we as the audience think there’s going to be one last scare. Instead we get the treat of Freddy’s hand glove reaching for the mask and bringing it back down with him.

Ten years later we get treated to Freddy vs Jason.. I have to include this movie on this list considering I watched it three times when it came out and now own it and even watch it on basic cable when its shown. Its a cant miss. Either you hate it because of the story and the acting and the actors they chose or you love it because its Freddy vs Jason. Two horror icons pitted against each other.

Years later there were rumors of a second movie, including one with Michael Myers and theres even a comic book which includes Ash from Evil Dead joining in on the fight. Hands down, my favorite slashers and slasher movie.

Freddy vs Jason Kill Count: 35 according to Dead Meat on Youtube

Favorite Kill Scene: Jason stabbing the douche high school boy 8 times in his bed and then bending the bed in half.

4, 14, and 26 for the writer asks, please & thank you! Hope you have a great week!

Thanks for the ask! I'm not looking forward to this week, I must admit, since I find traveling incredibly stressful and am not very interested in the place I'll be seeing either... ugh, don't ask me why I agreed to it in the first place x) (must have been some weird bout of "it will do you good to go outside!")

Anyway -

4: a story idea you haven’t written yet

Oh dear, I have entire documents filled with those. Let me just pick one, maybe one I haven't talked about too much before...

Alright, this idea might not be popular with certain people, but I don't care so here goes: Exploring Melkor's time in Valinor post-captivity. There are some interesting tidbits to expand on, like how he got interested in certain people, how he learned their languages (because yes, speaking languages and verbally communicating is not the default for Ainur), how his relationship with certain people might be more complicated and nuanced and, most fascinating in my opinion, if he maybe at times enjoyed... maybe not helping others but sharing his knowledge and teaching and creating as he (by design) should have been doing this whole time; also drawing a parallel to the "Annatar in Eregion" arc.

I feel compelled to stress that I have no interest in constructing a "my poor (but clearly evil) blorbo did nothing wrong and it was everyone else's fault" narrative - after all where's the fun in it for me if I don't write about Melkor being delightfully evil, messing with everyone, getting into petty fights and ruining lives? No, I just think that it could be fun to explore this time period with a bit of nuance and some shades of grey, show that there was indeed a genuine path of redemption and make his decision to stick to his evil ways out of sheer pride and pettiness even more devastating.

14: where do you get your inspiration?

Simply put: Everywhere. Everything can be inspiration. Be it a book I read, a show or movie I watch, a game I play, music I listen to, a picture I find, something I see in real life, something somebody tells me about, an idea somebody shares with me... add the power of shower thoughts and you have yourself a perfect storm. It's as if plot bunnies are waiting to jump me at every corner.

26: are you able to write with other people around?

Yes, but it's not exactly ideal. If I'm, say, in public, for example in a waiting room where nobody is paying attention to me or trying to interact with me, I can write just fine. If I'm in a more private setting where people know me and are at least passively aware of my presence, I might feel more compelled to keep an eye on them instead, also because it's more likely that they'll try to interact with me at some point. Plus I'm not trying to be rude ;)

It also depends on my mood. On some days I can look people who give me angry stares for being on my phone dead in the eye while writing straight up smut, on other days I can barely write a light gen piece if another person is just near me.

ok so this post that you reblogged is exactly how I envisioned the 2/3rd chapter in Spores when Ford and reader are running/hiding from the Bies (minus the men, obviously). But the creature?? Exactly how I imagined it, the picture in my head while reading was flawless and the chaos of the framing was also how I imagined it while reading. I know I’ve praised you for your writing before but UGH it’s so good. If you were to ever write a horror book what would be the premise? Oh also since you wanted asks for Ford and Stan (I’m giving you two asks in one here lol sorry about that) what horror movie or novel can you see each of them staring/surviving in? Like which one do u think would be best suited to each one of their respective ‘vibes’ and overall skill when it comes to fighting the main bad/monster/serial killer? Ok that was a lot sorry take your time answering with this one, I hope you make it for the stream! <333

oh my god that's actually so cool I'm so happy it gave you that image because that's definitely the vibe I was going for!! That unsettling, semi-real but somehow also dreamy feel that's just very chaotic and panicky. Thank you so much, that really means everything <3

I have some ideas but I'm still unsure as to whether I would write a novel or try to script a TV show. I have a couple of ideas and they're all horror based (of course) but not entirely fleshed out.

The one I have the most work done on is set in a retro-futuristic/cassette futurism vibe world where a young girl is infected with a parasite (that works effectively as a possession) and has to find a way to 'cure' herself when no one else wants to help/doesn't believe it's possible to do so. It's very gory and body horror-esque. I'm teaching myself to draw so I can create visuals to go with it and maybe one day find people who might want to collab on a pitch. The premise revolves around understanding our own behaviours and emotions, and how we can learn to grow as people while still being loved for who we are..... But also it's disgusting and bloody and has a lot of other themes lol. Hopefully one day I'll get to make it.

I think they'd both do pretty well in all of them.

I can see Ford reading from the Book of the Dead in Evil Dead and summoning the ancients, but fairing reasonably well against them. They'd be a tough fight, though. I've said before about how I think Stan and Ash would totally get on, and if Ford doesn't succumb to curiosity and read the book's incantation aloud, I can imagine Ash and Stan getting wasted and doing it for shits and giggles. That's how Ash kicks off the events in the TV Series haha.

Stan I think would be great in any slow-moving zombie horror. We've seen him hold his own very well. Fast moving zombies (28 Days Later etc) would fuck up his back though, I can see that pissing him off LMAO

I can definitely see them teaming up to defeat a Cabin in the Woods event. The departments would haaaaate them both so much for being so competent haha!

Because a lot of the horror I watch is so fucking G R I M, the silly aspect of them getting out alive is lessened because in my favourite movies, no one makes it out alive and if they do, they'd rather be dead.....

I do think a Hereditary situation would play out wonderfully for Stan and Ford. Not in the 'they'd kick ass!' kind of way, but in the beautifully tragic, morbid 'no one gets out alive' way.

The themes of the movie deal heavily with the inherited grief and trauma that comes from a parent and from abuse or loss, and so it would fit them well. I'm still shocked no one has ever done a redraw of the Paimon/Reborn scene with Ford, Bill and Stan. Maybe they have, but I've never seen it and I think it would be very cool.
