FABRIZIO STEFFENSEN

and some fabrizio steffensens lore ive written 8 months ago

Fabrizio Steffensen is a new strange history teacher in Fland University in Gryphonia.

Not many people (in this oc setting lol) actually know that Fabrizio is a witch and his age is around 500 years old. When he was 45 years old, he alone defeated the guardians of Thunder Island and touched the relic named Lapis Furor, which gave him ability to do magic, but in exchange since this times his life forces are concentrated in the little Lapis Furor stone, which he wears in his medallion necklace under his clothes.

He is usually seen smiling, unbothered, and he may seem even crazy and weird sometimes. He also matches the archetype of 'tumblr sexyman', especially matching the King Dice type. Actually, he isn't actually as evil and bad as he seems because of his scary aura. He doesn't really understand social themes and morals, but always tries his best to protect his students. Fabrizio is also kind of outgoing and is actually wise, but he can't make the good advices, and sometimes puts others into dangers because of this.

He's 6'2 tho.

Here's Fabrizio in grandpa clothes because he is a grandpa

(to the latest post) i remembered that ive actually written the entire fabrizios lore on my toyhouse page that ACTUALLY GAINED NO ATTENTION 😭😭 #lmao #this sucks BUT grandpa has some lore i can actually find it and tell u about it

Was just thinking my thoughts on the way back from the shops today and remembered this book I read a few years ago - it's a nonfiction book by Indigenous land management expert Victor Steffensen that goes into the practice of cultural burning and how it's tied to the Australian landscape and iirc is part memoir too, and a book I'd highly recommend

Additionally I'd suggest if you're able you kick a few dollars over to the nonprofit Firesticks Alliance (cofounded by Steffensen) who are doing great work in running workshops on revitalising the practice of cultural burning

The entertainment is in the pacing. The writing is superb. Great setup, suspense, new information, escalating stakes, mystery, twists and turns, and an ending that ties everything together.  

The only gripe I have is there is no happy ending*.

Talk to Me is a 2022 Australian supernatural horror film directed by Danny and Michael Philippou and written by Danny Philippou and Bill Hinzman, based on a concept by Daley Pearson. It stars Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Otis Dhanji, Miranda Otto, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio, Marcus Johnson, and Alexandria Steffensen.

[twenty-words-or-less]

Talk To Me (2022)

Summary: A group of friends (Sophie Wilde, Alexandra Jensen, Joe Bird, Oris Dhanji, Zoe Terakes, Chris Alosio) learn how to conjure spirits using an embalmed hand, and do it over and over again... until one of them (Wilde) goes too far and blurs the line between the real world and spirit world.

Enjoyable concept, excellent practical effects, fleshed-out characters, good cliffhanger ending. Doesn’t explore themes as well as it wants to, however.

Rating: 3.5/5

Talk to Me (2022)

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

So spooky. Perfect amount of jumpscares, even though the eye gore was slightly too much for my taste. The lore was amazing and the whole film was well thought out.

It was shocking, disturbing, and tense. I loved it, and I love how certain callbacks were made throughout.

Tremendous ending, and it made me so excited for the sequel.

You should watch this film if:

The premise itself is enough to pique your interest (come on, talking to ghosts through an embalmed hand?)

You love the twisted and recurring themes

You need more A24 horror in your life (spoiler: you do)

Similar titles (I’m not sold on these suggestions yet):

The Simpsons: Treehouse of Horror II (specifically the story with the monkey paw)

Insidious (2010) (unrelenting spirits haunting a family)

Mini-review:

This was basically the buzziest horror movie of the year and, fortunately, it mostly lives up to the hype. Pretty much all the scenes with the hand thingy are incredibly gripping and intense, to the point of giving me a bit of anxiety. Also, I just love how original the whole idea feels. Like, I know we've seen tons and tons of possession movies and stuff like that, but Talk to Me manages to give the genre a twist that feels super refreshing. Kudos must be given to the sound design and the score, which immerse the viewer in the film's world from the very first scene. And the script tends to include moments of very dark humor that made me laugh out loud. Last but not least, I need to commend Sophie Wilde's bravura performance. Tbh, the one complaint I have is that the movie sometimes struggles to keep a steady pace. So, yeah, Talk to Me is a pretty scary and refreshing horror film, and I'm really curious to see where it will go as a franchise.

Poul Steffensen (Dec. 2, 1866 - 1923) was a Danish painter who trained at the Royal Academy but never finished due to poor health and overwork at his job in a factory which he needed to finance his studies.

Steffensen specialized in rural life, esp. livestock paintings, mainly of cows. This canvas shows farm work, though:

Talk To Me (2022)

If you hear someone say they haven’t seen anything new - or scary - in a while, point them towards Talk to Me. With a great story, a focus on its characters, a fresh concept and genuine scares, it does just about everything right. This is an impressive directorial debut for Danny and Michael Philippou.

Mia (Sophie Wilde), her best friend Jade (Alexandra Jensen) and Jade’s little brother Riley (Joe Bird) sneak out to go to a party. There, they partake in a ritual involving an embalmed hand. Holding it in a handshake position and saying “Talk to me” allows you to communicate with a dead person. Saying “I let you in” allows the spirit to possess you. If you blow out the candle and pull the hand away from the “player” before 90 seconds pass, the spirit will leave and no one will feel any side effects. When Mia hears her recently deceased mother speaking during a round, she becomes obsessed with the hand.

The premise may make Talk to Me seem like an off-brand version of Ouija. In a way, it is, but that’s the genius of it. In the real world, Ouija boards are games only because they don’t work. People have fun setting up the mood, gathering for a spooky time and seeing what happens. The same thing with this hand. The difference is that it works. You can use it to speak to those in the beyond. That’s a big deal… but it also isn’t because no one knows where it came from, you don’t get to pick who you talk to and you can only talk to someone for 90 seconds. This hand is a party favor you bring with you to make crazy things happen. Some people don’t believe it works or that the participants' reactions are exaggerated. You can understand why. Participants might do something scary or creepy. They might just act sort of weird. If you try it, you’ll probably embarrass yourself, which will be hilarious for everyone else. The obvious parallel is recreational drugs. The hand is a pill a teenager takes at a party while everyone watches them trip out. This gives Talk to Me a distinctly modern feel because it’s sort of a secret but also out in the open. People might not believe it works but once you say “I let you in”, everyone hits “record” on their cellphones.

Previously known for their YouTube channel RackaRacka, Danny and Michael Philippou are transitioning to filmmaking and this is a great first picture for them. They're not content with slapping a new coat of paint on a tried-and-true idea. There’s a heavy emphasis on Mia’s headspace. She’s 17, has been in trouble before, is currently struggling with the second anniversary of her mother’s death and has become distant from her father (Marcus Johnson). An early scene where she spots a fatally injured kangaroo on the road tells you volumes about her and how she feels about death. You know this hand will have a hold on her. You’re cautious but the movie makes you put your guard down with several heartwarming scenes of friendship and some big laughs. Then, everything goes so wrong so suddenly. When violence comes in this film, it’s brutal. Then, it's over. Now, all that happy energy has become tainted and you’re on edge. "Did I actually see that?" you wonder. You have to keep watching to be sure. Talk to Me has its claws dug into you and the scares are real.

You can tell the twin directors have seen a lot of horror films and have taken notes. A typical film would spend a good chunk of its middle with an investigation. Where did the hand come from? How can they stop it from doing the thing it’s doing? Talk to Me isn’t interested in that. There’s too much going on NOW. Instead, it doubles down on the character moments, the unsettling aftermath of the rules the teens have broken (you knew they would break them, that’s part of the fun) and the scares. Some of what comes from the hand is just so bizarre it gives you the creeps. Knowing the characters as well as you do makes it extra scary. You know how easily these people can be pushed in the wrong direction based on their past. You hope the sinister force that’s eyeing them now won’t figure that out.

Talk To Me is wonderfully original. It's also memorable, well-acted, smartly written and scary. You care about the characters, you worry about what might happen to them and when things go sour, it's horrifying in multiple ways. With this film, Danny and Michael Philippou make it clear they're directors you should watch out for. I can't wait to see what they've got next. (November 4, 2023)
