I had a creative writing professor who was a prick but could be right sometimes, and he talked about how poetic writing is most effective in contrast with simple and straightforward writing, which is why "purple prose" can become incredibly dull and numbing to read as you go on. This isn't a perfect rule because there are some works that utilize a specific register of writing that feels elevated or poetic throughout, and they're doing it to achieve a specific effect, but it takes a skilled writer to do that and not make it punishing or parodic. But it's always come in handy for me as a thinking tool and I find it tends to hold true in other settings and applications, that the strongest effects are generated by contrasts, and I think that's what the horror genre does as well. A movie about a child who is lost to loneliness and death, thinking she's entered a magical world (Pan's Labyrinth) is effective precisely because of the ironic contrast between the reality we understand she's living in and the reality she perceives, the fate we know she experiences and the fantasy she has of the meaning of her death (and this isn't even talking about the roles of gender and politics in the story). (Coraline could also be argued as an example of this type of story, but it's aimed at children so has a happier ending.) Horror often generates its effects by contrasting the world as it should be and the world as it is in the context of the story, so naturally will have stuff to say and teach about what "the world as it should be" is and means.

love the idea of the Batfamily getting stopped and searched in the family car on the way back to the Manor and everyone’s tense expecting Jason to be the one packing like twelve guns but it’s Alfred? Alfred is absolutely unbelievably strapped up to high heaven? And he somehow manages to talk to the cops out of arresting him or even giving him a ticket?
Bruce is just standing on the side of the road pinching the bridge of his nose. Jason is grinning so widely his face is about to rip. Alfred’s guns are all sitting on the hood of the car and there’s at least three there that Bruce remembers taking away and destroying. Dick is taking pictures on his phone to send to Barbara and trying not to laugh. Tim has Kon on speaker narrating it…

OK THIS IS NOT A FUCKING DRILL EVERYONE FUCKING REPEAT AFTER ME. THIS IS WHAT YOU WILL DO WHEN YOU WATCH MUPPET CHRISTMAS CAROL THIS YEAR:
You will navigate to the page on disney plus (and it has to be here. Unless someone has actually uploaded the REAL movie anywhere else you cannot get it elsewhere)
BUT YOU WILL NOT HIT PLAY. You won’t do it. Because it’s NOT THE REAL VERSION OF THE FILM AND DISNEY IS FUCKING LYING TO YOU AS IT ALWAYS DOES
Tumblr media
You will scroll down HERE. To EXTRAS instead. You MUST GO HERE. This is non -negotiable
Tumblr media
THEN YOU WILL SCROLL DOWN TO THE BOTTOM OF THE EXTRAS AND YOU WILL THEN HIT PLAY ON THIS BAD BOY: THE FULL LENGTH VERSION
And you will watch it. And you will thank me for having been so blind and led astray by that stupid fucking mouse. You’re welcome.

skyler white: youre a drug dealer and youve been lying to and gaslighting me this whole time about what you've been doing. i think you are an active danger to myself and this household but you refuse to move out of the house or let me receive a divorce. what do you have to say for yourself?
