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)

see this is why joe needs to be in a horror game so bad it makes him look stupid, he has all this pent up energy like a mouse cornered by a cat and if he had a gun and was told there would be 0 consequences for using it he'd be riding that high for weeks
#he is so fucking ready to be in a horrible scenario he already acts like he is all the time#and if he was just in a horror game with zombies or something he would be free#he would finally have an excuse to let that shit Out#@ resident evil devs hey i have a really great idea for the protagonist of your next game#text#the deathspeaker#joe#au

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

🎏 - How close do you have to be to someone for you to share your writing?
Thank you for the ask! From this ask game.
That really depends on the point of view. I mean, everything I write is just. Out there. For free. Here, and on my website. So technically, anyone can read it.
I am also too open (read: talk too much) about the fact that I write, so occasionally the question comes up. I do have a few very close to mainstream works which I could show to whoever without feeling weird about it.
Unfortunately, they all have the website on the back so if I am suddenly gone one day, I left the country because someone IRL read Till Death 😂😅
#salad-ask#starlit-hopes-and-dreams#this ask is not oc related#I thought about putting the url there for a while but decided that I will not let anxiety ruin my attempt to roleplay as an author#I do think the whump community on tumblr of all places is cause for a bit of a skewed view of what I should be worried about#Call it horror/romance and if someone asks perhaps explain that I got annoyed by a bunch of fade to blacks and had a bet to write it gorier#Or that one or two of the really unnecessary drawn out chapters were written for a kind of writing/prompt challenge#Might get a side eye for weird hobby but that's about it#Meanwhile I believe I would have a much harder time explaining the trans/nonbinary/queer/nd protagonists

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

i always used to watch yt videos of games i wanted to play bc i knew i didn't have the money then and didn't have anything to play games on but now that i have a good computer and some more financial independence. i could start playing all the games that my amnesia has erased
#i could play Amnesia! lmao#its almost like playing the game blind again#i've just been watching a lot of videos about games i'd forgotten about from when i was like 12#like all those old horror games that jacksepticeye would play#somehow i Still remember the exact video that made me start getting into youtube#jack's curse of blackwater videos#specifically the first one#because at the time my only experience with youtube was watching nothing but various cat compilation videos#but then i watched this creepy game video#and the little ghost girl scared me so bad i stopped watching and was like NOT WATCHING ANY MORE OF THAT#but then i couldnt stop thinking about it for three days so eventually i watched The Last Four Minutes#and then the rest of the game stopped doing ghosts and moved to like. aliens. or at least a physical monster#and it just stopped scaring me#it went from scary dark unfamiliar asylum with a probable ghost and body parts everywhere#to cold unfeeling steel facility#i just Stopped being scared after that physical monsters scare me much less#ghosts. now that's a threat you can't track#that one doesn't make noise to let you know it's coming#anyway i wanna play imscared i remember being obsessed with that one when i was watching those videos#i wanna remember the other like. random horror games i got obsessed with#ib and mad father and the crooked man i remember liking#recently i found out that the crooked man has like. a whole series?????#each story is about a different protagonist and monster but the characters from previous games show up as side characters

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.
