i've spent literally an hour riveted by monarchy defenders having their own color theory children's hospital moment over the king charles portrait while weirdo american christians tweet "A POWERFUL EVIL SHUDDERED THROUGH ME AS SOON AS I LOOKED UPON IT. I COULD FEEL THE WORK OF SATAN PLAINLY AS I CAN SEE THE SKY. BAPHOMET GALLOPS IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE MONARCHY WILL SOON BE BURNING IN HELL"

J... Jo... Jojo's your train men...
I'm not even sure why I did this other than a desire to see if I could! And I... I could.
If this blesses your dashboard, I apologize for the psychic damage /j

I really need to get more into marxist god-building. As soon as I started reading a review of Lunacharsky’s writings on how Marxism evokes religious emotion and is basically scientific theology it was like discovering what i had believed but didn’t realise it

On the topic of ‘bad mascot horror video games for kids’ the exception to the rule (or rather, something that understood the assignment) would be My Friendly Neighborhood.
I don’t want to spoil anything if you haven’t booted up the game before, but just…don’t be fooled by jumpscare compilations or the character design. From the opening cutscene this game grabs you by the fucking throat. The mechanics have thought put into them, the voice acting is top notch, and christ the fucking story - a complete story, one that has an end that isn’t promised in future ‘chapters’ or left ambiguous.
Yes, it has jumpscares from goofy muppet monsters, but they’re not cheap tricks. Once you learn how the game works they’re easy to avoid or at the very least anticipate - not to mention they’re survivable with the healing mechanic. And just when you think the scares are done, when you’re well into the game and have all the tools you need to navigate around potential jumpscares, the final act dunks you into the deep-end with the actual horror and nightmare fuel puppets.
I’m not sure how much the game as a whole qualifies as ‘horror,’ but it’s certainly being lumped in with the Whatever-Mascot Horror Game of the Week genre. Which is a shame because My Friendly Neighborhood is leagues ahead of those other games. It has more in common with survival horror than it does with mascot horror in terms of gameplay and tropes. It’s literally just the ‘monster’ designs leading people to assume its another Poppy Playtime clone complete with half baked story and repetitive, unimaginative gameplay loops. And that’s so far from the truth -
My Friendly Neighborhood is like if Sesame Street and Resident Evil had a beautiful muppet baby that opened its eyes to have an existential crisis when confronted with the horrors and apathy of modern capitalism.

i’m sitting here, hand to my mouth, other hand clutching at my chest, in a wild array of emotions. oh my fucking god. seeing vox and alastor go from that ill fated little one night stand to giggling together after the show finale and saying they LOVE each other. oh my dear god. and holy FUCK alastor is smart but he’s so dumb sometimes. vox asked if he loved him and al was like hmmmm idk man i feel abt you how i feel abt mimzy but just more passionately. and after being asked how exactly he feels abt mimzy he IMMEDIATELYYYYYYYYY exclaimed that he loved her like. HAUAHDHEHWJENFB. if i were vox i would outwardly cackle too. YIU JUST SAID YOU INTENSELY LOVE VOX YOU EMOTIONALLY CRIPPLED CANNIBAL!!!!!!! FUCK THIS IS THE BEST FIC EVER. it makes me so happy i don’t know what do to with myself. @ alastor: GET LOVED IDIOT! @ vox: GET RECIPROCAL LOVE IDIOT!!!!!! (friendship wise). idk if it’s bc i’m not as allo as i thought but like , platonic love is just as serious and powerful as romantic love ???? i would burn the world down for my friends and care abt them so deeply sometimes it scares me. who tf cares what type of love it is. LOVE IS LOVEEEEEEEE. and i’m probably gonna be eating my words but ive gotten to the point where i genuinely think these two can be Happy together and i believe it. FUCK
RELATIONSHIP ANARCHYYYYYYYYyyyy ahaha this was such a delightful ask to receive. I'm so glad you're enjoying reading Alastor's unreliable narration as much as I'm enjoying writing it. Thank you so fucking much! <3
