So.
Some people have asked for a certain peepaw plush for their plushie-violence pleasures, and who am I to turn them down.
From the makers of OMO Leonardo Plush, we now have:

Found Family Ted and Jamie anyone?
I'm finally writing mine!!:
'Doing the right thing is never the wrong thing. Sometimes that means you have to stick your nose where it doesn't belong. So what would've happened if Ted had stepped in, father to father that fateful night when Manchester City won, and relegated AFC Richmond?
We all have our battles, what are you willing to fight for?
tagging @prettyevermores @redstringoffate-101 @allghostsfromhereonout @itsybitsybiderman @russmindjk20 because y'all got the ball moving on my original post❤️💙

Rodney wasn't angry, and that was the scariest part. Defeated Rodney was always a terrible sign. Everyone took a collective breath in as Sam took a hesitant step forward.

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?
