Jenny Holzer, Inflammatory Essays (1979–82)

KEANU REEVES | DON'T QUIT YOUR DAY DREAM | FENDER

Still thinking about just how deep in it Liliana Temult is. Like in the eyes of the narrative she went from

absent & possibly dead, very sad -> alive just estranged?? mysterious! -> possibly involved in a cult, tragic, can her daughter reach her? -> uncomfortably high up in said cult -> the cult's goddamn General and striking such terror into the local population of the Ruidus that they are afraid of even her appearance or someone who looks like her

Ordinary people who are trying to resist the dictatorial Imperium/Ruby Vanguard alliance and their iron control of the populace are terrified of her. You don't strike terror just by "being there". Terror happens because of actions. And it leaves us to wonder what exactly Liliana Temult has done during her time on the moon to make the citizens fear her so much.

*kills you to death*

hear me out, post-divorce girl!Dad Crowley

im not even kidding you guys, the best thing for Crowley after all this is just for him to be a girl Dad. Go find himself the weirdest most unhinged least likely up for adoption daughter to dump all his love onto. One who thinks snakes are awesome and who screeches happily when Crowley drives too fast and who thinks her Dad's the absolute coolest person on or off earth. She'll constantly be stealing his sunglasses or demanding her own pair so they match. No doubt she's obsessed with fungus and she probably draws the most fucked up stuff that Crowley then hangs around the flat, and she'll yell at the plants too with her hands on her hips. On nights after goofy dinners, Crowley will hoist her up on his shoulders and help her accurately place the glow-in-the-dark stars on her ceiling and softly answer every question she ever has. And it won't even phase her when sometimes her Dad is her Mom or her Parent for a while or vice versa. And she'll be ready to full on throw hands with anyone who gives her Dad sad-face. She probably ends up biting Aziraphale when he eventually staggers back into the picture, and the Angel will have to contend with the fury of a real hellion for a while before she trusts him enough to let him anywhere near Crowley. Also i think her name should be Hanna.

horror sub-genres • apocalyptic horror

apocalpytic horror is a subgenre in which the earth's (or another planet's) civilization is collapsing or has collapsed. and the surviving characters are forced to endure threats and remain alive.

I think Slay the Princess is so popular partially because the *gets stabbed* "I'm in love" reaction is both intentional on the part of the developers and then they completely follow through on it.

acts of service: staged vs genuine | shangguang qian and gong yuanzhi

My captaaaaain! I read Hands of the Emperor because of you and I am *obsessed*. It's so... there are books that try to keep you reading because Things Are Happening, but HotE is so quiet with it? It is all of my favorite older relatives telling me stories without all of the context and showing me what they love(d) about their lives and the people in them, and the regrets that they can't *really* bring themselves to regret and this book just loves people so goddamn much that I can't stand it. You start reading and it's so comfortable to pick up and put back down that even the hard emotional moments feel like lightly defined colors but clear brushstrokes and now I am three quarters of the way through the book and I am going to die if I can't get more of my uncle Clioper's slice of life in the government of fantasy 1800s. I shall never be the same.

You put it into words!!! Some fantasy books are really fast paced and chaotic, but HOTE will have you SCREAMING about middle aged men DARING to make small talk and look one another in the eye. It'll have you laughing hysterically about a career burecrat auditing a bank in his home town. And then something totally batshit will happen like a lord mage turning someone into a table and it's never mentioned again. This book makes so tender and happy and also feral. What a read!!

“Food won't go down when you know your mother didn't want you, never liked to feed you, always hated you in her rooms. You were wrong to clutch and swallow and move your mouth. You must not be flushed, layered in fat or ripe from meat or she will despise your sight. Your skeleton cries, "I make no demands, I am ashamed of my needs, I am unworthy. I'm aware of those more deserving, those with prior and urgent claims to food." Skeleton says, "My safety is in slightness, my pride is denial. My victory is no gluttony, no guilt.”

listen i would've supported 23.5 no matter how terrible it might've been and i will continue to support it no matter which route it takes; but i am incredibly happy that it starts sweet and gentle and goofy as all queer high school romances deserve to be 🥰

Turn off the Super Bowl - it’s not important. Go open the news now.

I hope you all understand that Israel has begun attacking Rafah at night while people were asleep.

They are now attacking what few buildings still remain in the south, near the TENTS that contain nearly 2 MILLION starving Palestinians who were forced out of their homes because their city was LEVELLED. By the SAME people now bombing them.

Rafah is where the Zionazis ‘claimed’ is the ✌️ ‘safe zone’✌️ /wink wink for Palestinians (it never was. I warned people about believing this stupid lie for months). And although we were all telling you for months that it’s all a lie, and that Israel’s purpose of Oct 7 has ALWAYS been to erase every Palestinian, the West STILL SUPPORTS ISRAEL. They are STILL GIVING THEM WEAPONS AND MONEY.

Giving them all the resources they need to steal another people’s land. To level their city like the fucking Rumbling, then slowly and methodically kill of its population by locking them in a freezing, waterless desert with no food, water or basic amenities. Then speed it up by blowing up the people in tents. Starving, weakened, dehydrated people, many of which are just 10-year old orphans trying to keep their 5 and 3 and 2-year old siblings alive because every adult in their life is already dead.

This is a catastrophe beyond my comprehension. This is savagery and barbarity beyond nothing I’ve ever imagined. I pray every Zionazi dies a miserable, horrible death. I wish the same to their supporters.

am I the only one who remembers that fucked up horror game “Eyes” or did I just hallucinate such an unsettling character I spiraled into a severe terror-induced state for the better half of my middle school years

->Wanting to be kidnapped

-> Getting excited

-> Has to take a puff of ventalin because got too excited and started coughing

-> I also need an inhaler when I cry

-> Oh. Wait

-> Fanasy is significantly less arousing

-> Unless my kidnapper packs my inhaler

:(

YOU DONT UNDERSTAND I THINK ABOUT THIS SO OFTEN

It's why I wrote that thing abt my ocs Ezra and Jasper

At least with, like, Kylar, they probably already know what you need and where you keep it.

We are all shit outta luck with Eden, Black Wolf, Great Hawk

.......on the farm, Remy has Harper come inspect you so, like, they'd probably be able to get you any medical stuff you need....after a while.....and....with.....fluffy cow au (^///^) they'd wanna make sure you were in tip top shape

Harper is best potential abductor bc they already know all about any medical needs and can v easily provide uwu

...............so......like.......yandere Avery wouldn't be great seeing as the intro to them is they keep you after a date or after severely hurting you so you most likely didn't have everything you'd normally need on you, like medicine. But, well, they'd probably get it for you? Why wouldn't they? You're their perfect little trophy and they kinda need you to, well, be alive. So, they can get ya stuff, but only after you calm down enough to tell them what you need.

i’ve only had time to listen to one episode of cole weaver’s tiny terrors offline story exchange podcast today but based on what i’ve gathered from the descriptions and the meta identities of the characters (‘podcasters’) and the fact that one of the recurring characters is voiced by mike lebeau and jonny sims shows up as ‘donny sums’ and this code

and what the tiny terrors twitter has been posting all through today

and this fan tweet that the creator literally rted

so i think we all should listen to these and add them into the theory blender before we press the start button. there’s not many eps and it only began a couple of weeks ago and it averages 10 mins per episode. but there’s something up with it, that’s for sure

if anyone needed further proof, the latest episode is interviewing an ‘anonymous professor’ on the topic of egregores. you know. entities that feed off the belief (or fear) that people place in their existence. entities that come into reality by virtue of people believing they are real. or being afraid of them becoming real

God I hope I get the chance to spray raccoons with a hose
