Annihilation completely masters being disgustingly beauitful. Like Midsommar is a beauitful horror movie, intentionally idealic. But Annihilation is beauitful in the way that the poisonous mold growing in your fridge is beauitful, or how a gas fire in beauitful.
Like, Annihilation cannot just give you a Snow White deer mutated with antlers that are branches full of blossoms. There needs to be two of these deer that move in parrallel, but one is rotting
Annihilation can’t just give you a wall of fungus, or a corpse. It has to give you murals of prismatic, colorful fungi sprouting out of a corpse so violently it snapped him in half

2/30 of Daily Rohan 2.0 is an homage to my favorite book series. I think Rohan, in his love of all things weird and fucked up, would fit right in.
"An absence is not a presence, but still with each new depiction of a thistle, a shiver worked deeper and deeper into my spine. When the latter part of the book dissolved into ruined ink and moist pulp, I was almost relieved to be rid of that unnerving repetition, for there had been a hypnotic, trancelike quality of the accounts. If there had been an endless number of pages, I feared I would have stood there reading for an eternity, until I fell to the floor and died of thirst or starvation."

Annihilation was such an experience. the book was beautiful in the most powerful meaning of that word. It was beautiful.
It was so unnerving too. I have a fear of body horror as well as mold/fungus/sprouting/growth unease, i cant stand being near a fuzzy fruiting body. It icks me, and yet it was so worth it to endure for the book. It was so well crafted, it was such an amazing experience. I think it was the deepest way a piece of literature has touched me yet. Its a love letter to nature with an apology of how we ruined it embedded in it’s center.
The movie was awesome but the book is so so much better. Its everything you could possibly want. I cried when i finished it because i knew that i would never be able to experience it for the first time again (of course if i werent to sustain some concerning brain damage but still tho just how hard do u have to knock me over the head to knock this piece of work that rewired my soul out my being?? I think ever if i were to loose all recollection of reading the book there would still be pathways that my neurons formed around it, id still know a part of it somehow. u would have go thru some real sci fi shit to remove all the growth my cells have gone through after finishing consuming such a media) . Its just shmactaculous, truly honestly surreal
I wanna talk and talk about this and im stooped that theres such a small following around this!! like kumon theres a bigger fandom for my immortal and not this jaw dropping-knee buckling-mouthwatering-brain altering-heart smackening piece of work??! please if youre even a smidge bit interested go check out Annihilation by Jeff VanderMeer
(either the movie or the book, cause if theres any intent the movie will become a highway to the book trilogy (absolutely not speaking from experience))
Also if you could i actively suggest avoiding the movie before reading the first book, theres a few spoils and it sets your mind to where you think the story will go and it will ruin a lot of the craftsmanship which goes into the setting and creating the story, plus the movie has like 20% of the content the book has, its very watered down and as good as it is it can never compare to the book

We clicked, by being opposites, and took pride in the idea that this made us strong. We reveled in this construct so much, for so long, that it was a wave that did not break until after we were married...and then it destroyed us over time, in depressingly familiar ways.

I have nobody to talk to about this but it’s a head cannon from my favourite movie that’s been stuck in my head since I first watched it. In Annihilation(the movie, not the book) Kane is the only person too come back from the shimmer. After he comes back, a team of (cis) women goes in because “all of the other teams where men”???? But why? If a cis man came back why would sex matter? I think Kane was trans and that the logic behind it was, if a trans man (bio female) came back then Dr.Ventress could come to a conclusion that the shimmer only hurts males. A theory that was proven wrong by the end of the movie but made sense at the beginning because ventress wouldn’t have know better. Also the movie adaptation was so much better than the book

As much as I love Alex Garland’s vision of Annihilation, and how different it is from its source matter, my dream would be to re-adapt the books as something much different.
The movie version of Annihilation feels caught between big budget sci-fi and genuine cosmic horror. The books, meanwhile, are delightfully filled with some of the best pure prose I’ve read in a while.
And if Annihilation were re-adapted, I’d dream of the ways it could be shot. Documentary-like, portions of the wilderness justaposed with softer horror.
Living in a similar place as to where Annihilation is set, I just may make my own little reimagining. Just another idea to play with, I suppose.

“The effect of this cannot be understood without being there. The beauty of it cannot be understood, either, and when you see beauty in desolation it changes something inside you. Desolation tries to colonize you.”
— 📚Annihilation, Jeff VanderMeer // 🎞 Annihilation, Alex Garland (2018)
Trying to read more fiction and the Autism and Queerness and Transcendent nature of these books truly has me in a chokehold. Like there’s something so liberating in The Weird, the eco and the body horror, the undefinable, The transcendent nature of area x ugh
