Happy Chinese New Year!

Putting it on my Christmas list for someone to write a Hades and Persephone inspired fic for Raphael x Tav, I need it

I just know i was put on this earth to be Matthew Gray Gubler’s problematically younger wife, I just know it

We are bulletproof the eternal just came up on shuffle and now I wanna die 😭

i’m being so serious when i say i want regulus to drink blood unironically in @ninety-two-bees aftg au

js downloaded discord, im so hesitant to sign up 😭😭

So I work a lot with product vendors at my one of my jobs, and I swear to god, one of my vendors looks almost EXACTLY like I envision Evan in my head. The first time I saw them, I straight up did a double take.

This would normally be a lovely little treat for me during work, except for the fact that we have literally ran straight into each other like…9 times now. Also I completely lose the ability to formulate a comprehensible sentence in front of them. So that’s…less than great.

I’ve gained this nasty… habit? Compulsion? Where if I listen to a song while I’m fiddling with my Rubik’s cube… I’ll go into a weird trance thing where I’ll listen to the same song on repeat until I manage to solve the cube exactly as the song ends.

It doesn’t sound too bad… but it’s been almost 3 hours… and I’ve been locked in on it.

I would scramble the cube and in the last minute 10 of the song I’d start solving it as fast as I could… and when I’d finish a few seconds early or something… I’d restart the song and rescramble. Again and again and again.

And I’m almost neurotic with it? Like… I can’t finish a second before or after, I have to finish exactly as the song ends.

Anyway, it doesn’t sound too bad but my fingers are aching and tingling and I’ve just lost almost 3 hours of my life. And I don’t think I ever wanna listen to that song ever again.

So… I think I shouldn’t listen to music if I’m playing with my Rubik’s cube…

ugly cried the entire episode /srs

FUCK I FUCKING DIED THIS IS SO FUCKING FUNNY IM DYING

I was once looking at fanart of genderbent mercs (Tf2) and saw a post ranting about why gender bend is bad bc it’s transphobic

like go touch fucking grass

no, just because the character now has boobs doesn’t mean the creators hate trans people because it’s too binary

like out of all the goddamn issues

you chose this

like tell me how the fuck does this change the bills and laws against trans people

or hate crimes

yeah it doesn’t actually do anything to stop those when you go after a thing that isn’t even being aggressive or even negative to trans people

“but it’s a micro micro micro micro aggressions”

stut up, go outside, stretch and touch some grass

shaved my head and now everyone is waiting for my inevitable breakdown with baited breath and i’m out here traumatizing children bc i’m bald

I’m sorry if I was in any version of the pjo universe I would’ve clocked that Percy was the son of Poseidon as soon as the bathroom incident occurred. Tf you mean “I wonder who your dad is” he EXPLODED A TOILET. Chiron this is the second water incident you have witnessed how are you still confused

changes and trends in horror-genre films are linked to the anxieties of the culture in its time and place. Vampires are the manifestation of grappling with sexuality; aliens, of foreign influence. Horror from the Cold War is about apathy and annihilation; classic Japanese horror is characterised by “nature’s revenge”; psychological horror plays with anxieties that absorbed its audience, like pregnancy/abortion, mental illness, femininity. Some horror presses on the bruise of being trapped in a situation with upsetting tasks to complete, especially ones that compromise you as a person - reflecting the horrors and anxieties of capitalism etc etc etc. Cosmic horror is slightly out of fashion because our culture is more comfortable with, even wistful for, “the unknown.” Monster horror now has to be aware of itself, as a contingent of people now live in the freedom and comfort of saying “I would willingly, gladly, even preferentially fuck that monster.” But I don’t know much about films or genres: that ground has been covered by cleverer people.

I don’t actually like horror or movies. What interests me at the moment is how horror of the 2020s has an element of perception and paying attention.

Multiple movies in one year discussed monsters that killed you if you perceived them. There are monsters you can’t look at; monsters that kill you instantly if you get their attention. Monsters where you have to be silent, look down, hold still: pray that they pass over you. M Zombies have changed from a hand-waved virus that covers extras in splashy gore, to insidious spores. A disaster film is called Don’t Look Up, a horror film is called Nope. Even trashy nun horror sets up strange premises of keeping your eyes fixed on something as the devil GETS you.

No idea if this is anything. (I haven’t seen any of these things because, unfortunately, I hate them.) Someone who understands better than me could say something clever here, and I hope they do.

But the thing I’m thinking about is what this will look like to the future, as the Victorian sex vampires and Cold War anxieties look to us. I think they’ll have a little sympathy, but they probably won’t. You poor little prey animals, the kids will say, you were awfully afraid of facing up to things, weren’t you?
