hahaha omg it’s castle byers 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫 looks like the castle byers that’s still standing in the upside down. haha of course i’m completely normal about this. i am totally normal 👌

also, lucas’ watch says the time is 2:12:18. but what about the number above that?? is it saying the date is 11/2 (november 2nd) or 11/12 (november 12th)??? because if it says november 2nd then i’m just thinking about that on the last november 2nd in stranger things is when will and mike have that conversation about the shadow monster and mike telling will he’s going to be safe…. if it says november 12th then that’s the date that will was rescued from the upside down….

At the risk of being called a selfcest apologist or whatever, I’d ship Ted with Evil Ted.

TRULY I cannot stop thinking about eddie being the bestest boy and never ever a gatekeeping asshole in any of his preferred interests. like imagine him meeting a TOTAL good girl, the kind of person you’d expect to be all tennis skirts and pastel scrunchies (which she will happily rock don’t get it TWISTED). but some days she’s ripped jeans and the leather jacket her aunt gave her and she’s a total headbanger. but she’s learned not to say anything to men bc the first question is “name a couple songs” and she’s worried about rolling her eyes right out of her head if it happens again. then along comes edward pretty boy munson, who sees her black sabbath shirt and immediately gets puppy dog excited. “what’s your favourite song???” and she says iron man bc the easiest way to get dudes like That to go away is to meet their expectations, but eddie isn’t a dude like That so instead he’s like “hell yeah that one fucking rocks!!! have you listened to masters of reality???? I have it on cassette, we could play it right now” and from that moment on that is IT. she’s head over heels for his doe eyes and he knew the moment her chin gave that confrontational tilt as she named a song that he was a goner. (bonus points: other dudes that have made a pass by trying to neg her about metal want to know how he landed her and eddie’s like “idk we just talked about music???”)

he’s has the biggest golden retriever energy i swear to fucking god and the moment he meets his match and finds someone that can level with his enthusiasm and energy he’s a goner, god i need to read/write a full fucking fic over this

heavenly restriction…

i was in the passenger seat and my girlfriend put her arm out when she made an abrupt stop and her friend in the backseat was like “aww that was so cute that you just instinctively did that!!” and it WAS very cute. but i know she used to deliver pizzas. i know i was precious pizza cargo

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?

I love them.... bonus:

THEYRE HERE

i will never understand why more people in their 80s don't commit felonies. you reach that age and surely there's something illegal you always wanted to do but didn't bc Consequences
