The several shots of espresso to do all of this isn't optional either
“you’re a writer, can you explain your process?” yes. first, i panic. then i procrastinate. then, in a fit of productivity at 3 a.m., i create chaos.
Especially true with horror and all its adjacent genres and subgenres
no one warns you of this but the more indie & international films you watch the worse american blockbusters look in comparison. be safe out there
It's dumb but the fact that imma have a birthday on this stupid rock while it has two moons brings me an unreasonable amount of joy
i’m so glad earth only has one moon, if there were more i’d have to pick a favorite and that sounds too emotionally taxing to even fathom
I'd say I'm sorry for making this but I have zero shame so...
I CAN’T STOP LAUGHING AT MY EMAIL RIGHT NOW
WHOOOOOOO LET THEM DO THIS
Reminding everyone
Love the victims of oppression more than you hate the oppressors
Be setting off fireworks in July not because 'merica but as a womb eviction day celebration for Satan's spawn
tbh my gender is probably soft rain in autumn with leaves falling and a train whistle in the distance
People who try to copy historical writing styles don't say enough weird stuff in them. I'm listening to a 1909 story about a ghost car right now, and the narrator just said he honked the car horn a bunch of times, but the way he phrased it was "I wrought a wild concerto on the hooter".
"How do you brainstorm your ideas and stories?"
Listen, man, I've been using thinking about fictional characters and their problems to avoid thinking about The Horrors since I was single digits in age. I have no idea how to start. Nor do I know how to stop. The inside of my head is constant "what ifs". I just made them fun instead of horrifying.
Update: Got my chicken and sat in the car to demolish it with my barehands, enjoying my Spotify playlist and paying little mind to the gaggle of chucklefucks. 10/10 experience. Will do again.
Costco parking lot is where all the cockclown asshats come to challenge one another to find the Supreme amongst them I hate it here just leT ME PARK I WANT MY ROTISSERIE CHICKEN TO EAT WITH MY BAREHANDS LIKE THE TINY BARBARIAN I AM DAMMIT
Just because I love this movie and I need more people to sit with folk horror, it's such a rich sub-genre.
October 14th: Folk Horror | The Ritual
The Ritual was released in 2017 and was directed by David Bruckner. Friends Luke (Rafe Spall), Dom (Sam Troughton), Hutch (Robert James-Collier), and Phil (Arsher Ali) reunite six months after the death of their mutual friend to go on a memorial hike in Sweden. During the hike Dom sprains his ankle, and the group decide to cut through the woods in order to make it back to the lodge in less time. But when they get lost, things take a dark turn as a menacing presence begins to stalk them through the vast trees.
Folk horror is a sub-genre that, despite existing since the 70s with such films as The Wicker Man, has gained far more traction in recent years. Movies like The VVitch and Midsommar are possibly among the most popular of modern folk-horror, but even then you would be hard-pressed to find those who have seen other lesser known folk horror films like No One Makes It Out Alive and the particular film I chose to represent this genre, The Ritual. I believe the reasoning behind this is because many folk horror films delve deep into symbolism, using many stories from various cultures as a representation of a certain subject. But because folk horror requires the viewer to not only take the time to interpret the symbolism but also relate it back to the story represented on screen, viewers simply looking for a scary movie might find these kinds of films boring and a waste of time. Although folk horror definitely isn't for everyone, it's a special sub-genre that allows for its viewers to partake in extensive interpretation and discussion if they so wish, and it often leads to many re-watches for the sake of discovery.
I could not find any platforms where you can watch it for free. Content Warnings for the Film (may contain spoilers): violence, jumpscares, dead animals (only aftermath shown), gore (not incredibly bad), psychological torture, mummified corpses
me flirting: oh fuck, your spiral horns are wicked and would be excellent for grabbing during carnal pleasures
Everyone needs a sicko to bounce ideas off of. It's necessary to survive any fandom ever.
Nothing beats finding someone else that would also climb __ like a fucking tree, because then comes the feral screeching of unhinged thoughts and sharing of content you've collected of __ to feed yourself ♡
I promise if you're thinking "I'm probably the only one would would fuck __" you are in fact not the only one who would fuck __.
Put my phone down and had to physically walk away when I saw one that put Milo Thatch from Atlantis on the damn cake
Accidentally wound up on "hear me out cake" tiktok, and I swear, if another one of these bitches puts down an at-most-unconventionally-attractive human man, Lady Dimitrescu or Nick Wilde/Robin Hood I am going to lose my fucking mind.
Saw one where the first person they named was Disney's Aladdin and I tapped out so hard I entered a fugue state and didn't regain full consciousness for like a solid hour.

Do you have a "favourite" physical trait to give to your OCs? If so, what is it?
Pros of re-reading your own fic
