Finished reading The World After The Fall and idk how to deal with the fact that Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint was the happy SingShong story.
#i am now also staring at the authors like#please spare Hakhyun from the horrors of time#you tortured all your other protagonists with tormented eternities stuck alone and/or in a time loop#just for once#save Hakhyun from it#he was the one who chose to get off the subway do NOT trap him in a subway#please singshong#anyways#twatf#orv#the world after the fall#omniscient reader's viewpoint#watf

I just wanna say I really like your collinlock16/andrewgaming67 crossover art ^_^
Gah, thank youuu 💥💥💥 (this is all a little bit jarring lol, not in a bad way of course, just kinda crazy people like my silly little blog) Have a rando snippet of a fic I'm working on as a bonus (can you guess what crossover it is :P?):
“Let's just go to the house. May have something more useful than that.” He clears his throat, groaning. It doesn't alleviate the soreness. Then promptly remembers he's recording, because that was needlessly loud,
“Sorry. I'll just cut that if I…”
He trails off, mouse flicking towards spruce planks on the ground. Another sign that says condemned in all caps. Cool,
“Okay, another useless sign--! Why is this even here? And there's fences around this place but they don't even connect to a gate. Like,”
Andrew runs up to the small area illuminated by torches, and mines a fence repeatedly, “what's the point of this if it's open over there? At least there’s torches to prevent mob spawning-- but still!”
He doesn’t consider himself a good Minecraft player, but at least he finished his little cobblestone wall perimeter around his house,
“It's like that one Adventure Time episode where the Ice King is-is trapped in that cell but it only has two bars! What are these fences going to keep out? Like oooh! Look at me, I'm waltzing right in this half-assed property line!”
He then stops his stride, mouth clipping closed because what's his problem?
#Tropical's ask box#collinlock16#minecraft arg but the protagonist is tired#andrewgaming67#This is right after “It All Comes Leaking In” so he's in extra stressed mode#I hope he isn't too frustrated in this I just find it funny that in the actual “Into the Mind” video#Andrew gets increasingly annoyed with the horror map#Brother is exhausted and sick and just wants to reconnect with Chris why is he in Silent Hill all the sudden#(Andrew was unaware of the horrors that awaited)#My favorite part of the video specifically is the one where he spins that book in the item frame and uncovers the Fixing Room#He found the redstone cool but he was so over everything up to that point#Dude get a cough drop some mucinex or dayquil or vapor rub just rest man!!! (time is NOT in his favor)#Also ooooh can you guess who Andrew's going to meet I wonder whooo#Whoever guesses correctly gets 100 mijillion bajillion gazillion dollars

Maybe Leon’s design makes me mad because I’m just jealous of him. Maybe he’s gotta be put on the gender envy list
#resident evil#sorry I’m like. still obsessed/confounded by Leon#also the other characters on this list are geralt and Adam Jensen so. idk what that even says#but also Keith v*ltron#got the whole range of masculine expression here#so like after realizing how pure and honourable and ignorant of the horrors re2 Leon was#his design is STARTING to make sense to me#but why did he REMAIN that pretty looking even after experiencing the horrors and trauma.#so I’m still mad/confounded#is it to say that despite the horrors and trauma he holds fast to his ideals? probably…#is his awful sense of humour a coping mechanism? probably…#also another point of jealousy/anger is that he’s like if a woman and a man had a baby (gender meme)#if you remember how last year I was like. Leon’s a she/her#it’s so insane how I’m reading so much into a pretty basic video game man protagonist#but why does this guy HAVE IT ALL and also have the worst time of his life!

I groaned at the writing of the 19 year old with too many ideals and not enough life experience, but there's a perspective shift in episode 3, so when we see her again, she's not a cringy character anymore
#douglas is cancelled#a decent show but you have to watch all four episodes to judge#that's why i binged it#i was scared to watch it - i watched for karen and alex - but i had hopes it would turn out well#there is a lot in the first two episodes told from the perspective of the people in power#they're like ugh what's a microagression#and the second two episodes fill in all the blanks#and we see madeline's perspective#and it's a different show#the first two episodes make it clear that douglas is a sexist guy#it's pretty constant#but he's the protagonist as well (or so it seems)#spoiler warning ahead#then it switches to madeline's story and we're watching a horror movie unfold#about a woman who follows her childhood idol into journalism#and he basically tells her its worth it to sleep with the boss to get a job#even revealing he assumed she slept with the boss because she looked terrified in the hotel room#he knew that if it had happened she had been taken advantage of#and he made constant jokes about her sleeping her way to the top even though he knew she wasn't instigating it#she gets this man to say he's her best friend and yet he's making these jokes#and so she takes them down#kind of a bittersweet ending#for a few reasons#I think the show could have been an episode longer to delve into more#I'd like to see more of the wife and daughter post reveal#but at the same time the pacing of the last two episodes was good

The Headless Eyes (1971)
"You've tried to alienate yourself but, Mal, I'm here, you -"
"Why? For two years I have been trying to live alone and to be able to accept this. Why are you here?"
"Because you haven't convinced me."
"Of what?"
"That you're incurable."
#the headless eyes#headless eyes#eye trauma#eye horror#horror imagery#blood tw#video nasty#1971#american cinema#kent bateman#bo brundin#ramon gordon#kelly swartz#ann wells#larry hunter#mary lamay#linda southern#known with the definite article and without as well as at one point rereleasing as#bloodthirsty butcher#a faintly dreadful exercise in exploitation horror. the passion project of one Kent Bateman‚ father of Jason‚ and latterly a respected#producer; he probably doesn't shout too loud about his directorial debut. shoddily made and written and acted‚ this is saved from true#cinematic oblivion by the spirited central performance of Brundin as the crazed artist with a taste for ocular thievery: he's ott and kind#of ridiculous but like William Metzo in spiritually similar grade z video nasty Mardis Gras Massacre‚ his bizarre commitment to the bit and#uniquely strange performance opposite a supporting cast that's largely subpar makes him the most interesting thing onscreen at any point#a few visual flourishes‚ an unexpectedly curtailed denouement and a brief attempt at drawing out the disconnect between our#protagonist's sensitive‚ artistic nature and his lust for scooping out eyes all add up to a film not quite as dogshit as it might have been#in a worst case scenario; but this is no best case scenario either‚ and frankly this is something of a tough time to get through‚ not#because of any onscreen grue but simply because it's something of a slog to sit through. belongs among the bottom dwellers of the dpp list#im sorry to say (but better than Toxic Zombies at least) (damned with faint praise)

don't think I've mentioned here, but there actually is a S.ugiura fankid! She's very lovely!
#ash rambles 💚#mask off 🎭#her name is Emi! named after her father's late sister. she likes horror movies and ghosts and she's studying to become a detective#not a private investigator like her parents and uncle y.agami but like. with the police. she greatly enjoys studying the law#and ofc she spent a lot of time as a kid around y.agami since he used to be a lawyer + all of the g.enda lawyers#being around lawyers and detectives along with members of organized crime like her uncle h.igashi have made her very interested in the#concept of justice#i like to think that when she's older she can have a game of her own hehe!#she'd make a really fun protagonist! a mystery featuring a ~20 y/o Emi and some of her friends! she's very fun and she's a good fighter too!#i think there would be a style switching mechanic too with a combat style like each of the j.udgment 4. but her default is most like y.agami#they're very close- k.amurocho isn't a very safe city but she spent a lot of time there as a teen with her uncle solving cases#also due to her mom being an ex-thief she's a very good lockpick- and she's skilled in parkour also considering who her parents arw#I'm worried that she sounds overpowered but i swear she's not ajdhajdjs i just really wanna drive home that her upbringing is very#interesting as a result of growing up alongside the whole cast of shady figures in j.udgment. she's actually a lot like t.animura from y4!#they're both half-japanese detectives that are sorta little shits but have a strong moral compass that they stick to-#oh! and i think she dyes her hair! gets it from her dad#i have 0 interest in dyeing my hair but s.ugiura is bright orange and i love it <3 i think her hair is red#oh also she has a bit of an iced coffee addiction-#okay yeah that's it for my ramble! i originally only wrote her as a kid because it was very amusing seeing the cast deal with a little one#but. then i realized that her as an adult could be very fun to write.. so yeah!#oh also she's gay- i don't know the specifics and honestly i don't care but i was writing her relationships with some of her friends and#went 'i know what you are...'#the vast majority of my fankids are not straight#anyways yeah! emi is neat! i love her lots <3 my daughter!#my daughter who better stay safe since being a y.akuza protagonist is dangerous business-

What kind of movies do you think Luigi and Bowser would like watching? I can honestly see Bowser being a huge horror movie fanatic while Luigi is more into the romcom movies.
#luigi#luigi nintendo#bowser#bowser nintendo#bowuigi#bowser x luigi#super mario#super mario bros#headcanon#mario headcanons#You can kind of think of this as a add-on to a past post I made that talks about Luigi falling asleep in Bowser's lap#Although if you do I don't think Luigi and Bowser would be watching a horror movie in that scenario#Because I feel like Luigi would have a really hard (if not impossible) time falling asleep after watching a horror movie#Meanwhile you have Bowser getting all excited when the psycho killer kills the protagonists#Now if it's a romcom that's a different conversation because I can see Luigi tearing up when the two movie lovebirds finally kiss#And then there's Bowser who just rolls his eyes every 5 minutes because he finds all the mushy stuff too soft and boring#Although deep down he actually doesn't mind the romcom stuff all that much but he's sure as hell not going to admit that to anyone

the timeline of frankenstein chronicles is such that two amusing crossover options present themselves to a deranged and silly mind:
burdened by the grief of losing yet another wife, richard sharpe changes his name and becomes a sad wet detective (and those diseases he surely has been picking up along the way finally catch up with him)
richard sharpe and matt truman have another half-brother kicking around england (who happened to have fought with the 95th rifles and at waterloo as well)
#em is posting about sharpe#frankenstein chronicles is a show you can watch#<- I doubt I'll do much Posting about it (I'm on the last episode of s1 and dubious about continuing to s2) but that's the tag anyhow#is this show Good? not for me to say. is the show filled with Sideburns and Surgeons and Syphilis? yes and That slaps.#were it me writing this I think that there are horror elements that I would have leaned into more (blake's calendar &c)#and also the 1820s of it all could have been costumed better#BUT given that that our protagonist is shambling and covered in blood and lurching horribly to his own undeserved downfall?#the time that I'm having is nice I do believe

it's been 3+ years but i stay a jmart hater btw
#martin is genuinely one of my least fave characters every time he's there i get annoyed his role could've been combined w someone else's and#it would've been fine and all his fans are annoying cottagecore 'good cows' bitches who project onto him#literally if you want jon to kiss a guy there are better options like gerry or oliver . i don't want to see the protagonist of my horror#podcast in a healthy supportive relationship i want to see toxic doomed yaoi . i want him to fall in love w something he can never have#which will make him so much worse if he has to fall in love w something at all.#it's why the finale sucked sm i felt nothing when martin stabbed him bc it just seemed so melodramatic .#and one thing you should know abt me by now is that i love it when one of the tragic lovers kills the other at the end.#romeo.txt

RE8 Reader boss fight this and that, well what about DLC boss fight 🤨
(i thought of it while running errands this morning and had to get it out of my brain. i may write something longer on it later :D)
after the events of Village, a team is sent out to investigate what remains, but anyone that's sent to that secluded village in Romania never comes back. it's radio silence, and when another team is sent, they also do not return.
that's when the protagonist will go to investigate. they briefly traverse the ruins of the village, the factory, the fishery, the Beneviento estate, and finally, the castle, all while clearly being stalked by something they can't see. a stick cracking behind them as they walk through the early morning darkness leaves the protagonist alert, but nothing ever shows its face.
until the castle, that is. we see the bodies of the protagonist's comrades, deep claw marks in their skin and chests, dried blood splattered along what remains of the walls. they assume only a beast could do something like this, and they prepare for the worst as they move to an open area of the castle where the roof has caved in.
moonlight streams into the room as they carefully get a feel for their surroundings, and when they turn back around, someone with large wings behind them is standing there, the moon's light hitting their back and casting them in a dark shadow. how did they even get there without the protagonist realizing?
they look human enough, though, and they call out, asking for a name. the person does not respond, their head bowed and features hidden as they remain standing there, eerily quiet. it's not until the protagonist lifts their gun that the strange person lifts their head, piercing golden eye staring straight through their very soul.
they don't last long after that; even a trained person would have a difficult time taking down an enraged and mutated Reader. the protagonist joins their comrades in death, and perhaps the last scene is of Reader stalking back through the dark halls, and maybe we're faintly able to see Lunatic following after them :3
#what if scenarios#im delusional and im gonna say reader somehow didn't die despite miranda being taken out#like they were probably away from the village at the time and came back to ruin#lunatic can't leave so they probably said what happened#maybe bc at least part of the megamycete lives on so thats how both of them still live#and now all they have is each other :(#still kind of similar to the whole 'theres an intruder in the castle' idea from a while ago#only now it's post-village#and reader is very angry#but i'd make it super horror-y and unsettling#reader stalking the protagonist throughout the forest#hearing metal clank in a darkened room they're in while in the factory#only for their flashlight to either catch nothing or catch a wing or something#i just think having reader stalk you throughout the village while it's pitch black outside would be a terrifying experience

now that I’ve resigned from badjob and am taking some time off before beginning good(?)job, my brain is chilling out enough that I can enjoy emotionally anguishing and dread-inducing horror movies again. I just rewatched It Follows and I think I might rewatch Hereditary tonight. I can’t do Skinamarink because without the movie theater atmosphere I will pause every five minutes to pace around my apartment. recommendations based on this sample of three movies are welcome
edit: I’m watching Event Horizon
#god though. the plan at the end of ‘it follows’ is SO BAD.#horror movie protagonists of all time#honestly i just have the urge to watch hereditary again bc lately#the ‘you just sit there with that fucking face on your face’ line has been echoing in my brain. it’s a good line.

slasher reveal ended up being a secret third option 31 dead 17 missing
#it was such a good story and then it was just suddenly about a demon slasher that appears by manifesting it??? like girl you are not freddy#it sucks bc I was so interested in the reveal. there were so many good options and none of them really felt obvious or an overdone suspect#also I think online horror really enjoys the protagonist being framed for their endings#(presumably they want a devastating ending but if they kill the protagonist they have to explain how they uploaded the story)#and it’s a good ending!! some of my favorite horror ends in a framing#but it’s like every ending to an online series and that shit did not make sense this time#they technically ‘revealed’ that one character was planning it all but the killer was still a demon with no foreshadowing

I don't think we give Jonathan Harker nearly enough credit for his absolutely unhinged choices. In 1897, that pathetic wet cat of a man was written with enough grit, willpower, and raw human stupidity to rival any of our modern horror podcast protagonists. When faced with a centuries-old vampire, in a coffin, drenched in fresh blood, he really thought the best thing to do was to hit it in the face WITH A SHOVEL. The audacity. The misplaced confidence. The sheer desperation. No plan. No hesitation. Running on fear and spite alone. And i fucking love him for it. Truly the character of all time.
#it's like he was written to be a podcast protagonist over a century before horror podcasts existed#imagine what a group therapy session with jonathan harker + arthur lester + jon sims would look like#jonathan harker#dracula#bram stokers dracula#dracula daily#horror podcast protagonists#lit student screams into the void
