The first rule of writing horror is looking at the horrors
The second rule of writing horror is don't write about horrible things if you don't want to write horror
#like yes sometimes not showing the monster is good because it makes it scarier to lean on the reader's imagination#but you yourself as the writer must look at the monster#you must look at it to be able to tell the reader why they don't want to look at it#and “not showing it” is supposed to be scarier because you know it's there#not a comfort because you don't have to face it#you can't let the viewer ignore the monster just because it's off camera field you can't ignore the monster just because it's off field#yes this is about dc#and succession#still salty about the way they handle the csa#and the child murder in dc#dc comics#dc#succession#roman roy#jason todd#stephanie brown#spoiler#red hood#robin#robin ii#robin iv#tw csa mention#batgirl#batman & robin#jason todd robin#jaybin#stephanie brown spoiler#war games#a death in the family#the ghost of csa weighing on Jason's and Roman's characterization but never properly addressed
