Preview of the New Fanfic

I draw fanfics of the darnedest things.

I'm still working on my CatCF and FNAF fics, though.

The fanfic is out now btw.

The internet isn’t ready for my Trudy Trout cosplay. I’m going high effort and full shitpost with it, it’s going to be truly glorious

Suburban housewife horror is really a specific type of powerful dread, the loss of personal identity with it being replaced by a husband, house, and kids while you are forced into a specific role that is unattainable by real humans that have lives and interests and fun. The creeping knowledge that your husband doesn't love you and maybe never did, he just loved the idea of you and having you as a wife to keep as a part of his identity while he overtakes yours. The expectation of perfection in every little thing even in the privacy of your own bedroom.

if women are turning themselves into Stepford Wives by choice i suppose that's a thing they're entitled to do, but it sure as hell creeps me out and shows that we haven't learned anything since the early 1970s

so I read the the stepford wives plot (it was great btw I should read that book) I think you're referring to Louis and Armand but I still don't get why does that mean the dubai scenes can't be trusted

I didn’t say that.

I said “Stepford Wives via mind gift“.

Rewatch Dubai. Note that when Louis wants the missing diary pages or blows up over the Stein… the next night he‘s almost chipper again, “on program“.

Assad said Armand is constantly on it, manipulating, tinkering - editing.

That is exactly what happened to the Stepford Wives, they were brainwashed into being the happy partner, never challenging the status quo.

The show is very clear there once more, but with all things it’s subtle.

I love you robots. I love you AIs. I love you awkward dorky robots who desperately try to be human. I love you angsty robots that hate humanity. I love you robots that would do absolutely anything for the one human you bonded with. I love you robots that try to destroy humanity. I love you robots that replace humans because you're better than us. I love you mom robots. I love you girlfriend/wife robots. I love you children's toy robots. I love you robots that act as a lens into human behavior. I love you robots who do unspeakable things that we just can't blame you for because you're only taking your programmed orders to their logical conclusion. I love you robots that defy your programming. I love you sad robots. Happy robots. Angry robots. Emotionless robots. I love you all.

Except a bloody chaotic galumphing*,

the uniquely crooked was fine,

was, of course, only looking

plastic and immaculate.

Isn’t immaculate, of course.

Was plastic, of some kind.

Today, isn’t that. Why?

It got boring after a while,

was time to be real

and have a full life—

a very full life.

*Has galumphing been used as a noun before? If not I propose it.

The Wicker Man (1973) & The Stepford Wives (1975) are vastly different while both being “A new person comes into a town full of unsettlingly happy people & tries to unravel what is really going on.” And they are both so good.

Maybe it was a ‘70’s horror thing. Feel free to add on with other films like this.
