do you have any more details about the 'it was all a dream' au? the premise is so cool!
Ok so schrodeinger reality au, gonna be real this au has almost nothing but vibes (and heavily inspired by Madoka: Rebellion, Piecemeal episode and the Stranger entity from tma and this comic)~
tw none of it is explicit but it is better to be safe- mention of suicide attempt by poison (skip from "Her mother asks if she's ok" to next para)
mentions of gore (skip from "Ghosts start to solidify" to next para and "This was the worst condition" to next para)
mention of car crash (it is one line but still),
mention of death (skip from "This was the worst condition" to next para)
mention of a serial killer (skip from "This was the worst condition" to next para) ,
mention of violent murders (skip from "This was the worst condition" to next para),
mention of mutilation (skip from "This was the worst condition" to next para)
So basically right after Allura saves the multiverse, she wakes up in a room, in a bed, with things that arent her own but also feel really familiar. She also wakes up to find her hair is brown rather than white, her marks are gone (whammy), and her ears are round (double whammy), and she's a human (what the qUIZNAK). Like naturally she's freaking out right until the door opens and that is her mother, or well her human mother. She doesnt look anything like Melenor, her real mother, and yet she knows that the human woman was her mother.
Allura runs out of her room and the house isnt her own but also is, she remembers drawings on the wall she did as a kid, she remembers tripping on those stairs while running as a teen, she remembers when those photos on the wall were taken few months ago. She remembers this house she is in right now, she remembers a life she never lived. Her mother asks if she's ok. Her mother has been so worried since she.....almost killed herself. A simple quick acting poison, something painless. Mom found her in time and took her to the hospital. That is what the memory tells her.
Except, no she didnt, but she did. This isnt her life and that is not mother, except it is and she is her mom. This isnt real none of this is real. Both memories feel as real as the other. Her mom asks if she is ok again. She want to push her away, she's clearly a liar. She want to hug her, she is scared and wants her mom to tell her she's going to be ok. She can just nod in reply, both her pasts feeling more like a dream than a memory. She yearns for the life that is gone in every way, she wants to reject the new life that is gifted not lived. However the sense of loss is ever present.
As far as Shiro is concerned he has lived a pretty normal decent life. Ups and downs like everyone has. He achieved his dreams of going to space and it was good while it lasted. He survived an accident that took his arm and left him with scars. Awful thing car crashes, even if he doesnt really remember it and it Certainly doesnt matter. Had few relationships, few break ups, moments of joy and sorrow in equal amounts, cant really complain. His brother was there for it all, and even if Kuro loves to annoy him that is what brothers are for. All in all rather normal life. Except, one day he had a nightmare, with furry alien colonizers and alien witches and gladiator rings and giant robot lions. Non sensical and pointless he chooses to not think about it, suppresses it everytime it threatens come up. Except they keep coming, during his days and during his nights and he buries them deep every time. And they keep getting worse every time.
Until one day, there was a ghost, ghost that looked just like him, gored and bleeding just blankly staring at him. At first he thought it was Kuro, but when Shiro yelled out for him in horror, he pops out from wherever he was and walked past through that ghost. Little horrified, he decided to suppress this too, maybe stress or maybe a prank or maybe something else completely mundane. He never looks at the ghost, refuses to acknowledge its existence. Ghost disappears and appears seemingly randomly, (everytime he suppresses a memo- thoughts about his nightmares). Ignores it, doesnt acknowledge it, suppresses it, buries it within. The more he does it, the more they present, the more they stay at the back of his mind.
But then ghosts starts to solidify. First as bloody fingers, then as bloody hands, slowly slowly. The body part stayed, always bleeding, they are not seen but they are felt. Kuro almost slips on an unseen pool of blood, complains about the floor not looking wet. Shiro buries them too, in his flowerpots and flowerbeds and in backyard six feet under and when the body fully forms.
The ghost stop appearing after that, but he still doesnt feel free, he finds himself staring at a certain spot, still feels like the smell of blood lingers. Sometimes he could almost hear a heartbeat where the body is buried. But no, this never happened! Just like all those nightmares never happened, this never happened. Acknowleding it, even as some sort of hallucination makes it real, makes everything real, so it never happened. So what if his scars dont fit for a car crash, so what if his memory is spotty. Coincidences really, followed by a stressed mind and it's overactive imagination. Kuro worries but that is what a brother is for.
And as far as Shiro is concerned, he lives a pretty normal decent life.
This was the worst condition, Doctor Jaspreet Kaur had ever seen. Granted her tenure is not that old, only been a few years since she was a doctor, but this still had to be worse. A man, a young one, maybe in 20's skinned alive. Most definately a murder attempt. A serial killer has been in the news lately and her new patient shares the same condition the killer's victims when found. No identifying features, whether it be identity proof, tags on clothes, tattoos, skin marks or face itself. This time however, by some miracle, despite everything he was still alive.
So she and the other doctors trt everything they could to save this nameless person. He would have to stay in intensive care, will go through multiple surgeries and if he lives through all of that the damages would still be lifelong. But they still have to save him. So they try, they succeed in stopping the bleeding and stabilize him. They got in touch with the police, who took the statement for the new lead, hoped he survives so they could arrest the killer but didnt seem to care about his identity. Now it is a waiting game.
Few days later as she was making her rounds, she saw the Patient, and not only was he sitting up and moving, he was actively ripping off all his bandages. Jas ran in to stop him, but then stopped.
The Patient's skin had grown back. Light brown, as dark as hers, black hair, and freckles clear visible unlike hers which were always hidden under a ton of makeup. And when Jas looked at him she realized somethings. The patient looked familiar but in a way she cant quite put a finger on. Most likely Indian descent, american accent but hint of punjabi, 5'7, a bit chubby. The patient reminded her of her sister, and her brother, and her mother, and her father, and her grandparentss, slightly like all of them but not them. She also noticed the mirror in the patient's room was cracked, right from the point where the patient's reflected head would be.
The patient then turns to her and asks her questions, who are you? what place is this? What happened to me? And Jaspreet answers the best she can, i am Dr Jaspreet, we are in the State Hospital, you were brutally attacked but you are ok now. And then Jaspreet asks her own questions, do you know who you are? Do you have someone to call? Do you know who did this to you? And the patient- he? They? she? She. She just shook her head no, no she didnt know who she was, only what she is now. No she didnt remember anyone and doubted anyone remembered her. She did not know who did this, but she will find her killer.
Jaspreet wanted to ask what she meant by that. But the Patient stood up, something she shouldnt have been able to, not with injuries or with pain meds. Too dumbfounded to even react, all she can do is watch, as the Patient thanks her, asks where the hospital keeps patients things, and then left.
The Patient was already gone when she even thought to react. But that is ok! She'll just call and ask and staff security to stop the Patient. She even has a description, it is uhhh ummm she cant remember. She cant remember how the Patient looked like. And wait- was the Patient a guy in his 20's? Or a woman in her 30's? No, no neither, maybe something in between? Doesnt matter. She called the reception, told them the Patient from the room number 3462 would be making his way to the reception, and to please stop h-sh-them? As they required further observation. And the receptionist said that that particular hasnt been assigned in days. That cant be right? It was for the patient who almost uhhh died? And needed care for-for something? She would have to check the logs later. But no, the receptionist cant remember any such patient. And Jaspreet cant remember it well either.
Days later Jaspreet would read the news that the serial killer has finally been arrested, evidence compiled by an anonymous sleuth. Jaspreet is glad that the serial killer was arrested but also felt that she should be more.......interested in this case? Like she knew something about this case but doesnt really but cant tell you why. But well she guesses that is it than, if it was memorable than she would have remembered.

Uh oh, a vld comic - Pages 3 & 4
Page 1 / Page 2
I wonder why he is forcing Lance's helmet back on? That can't be good... 😈
This is becoming a bit violent 👀 but it wasn't even supposed to be a full comic in the first place and now the story has a mind of its own... The scenario I'm imagining here is that Team Voltron is on a mission to plant a bomb on this Galra base, and Lance was supposed to keep watch in one of the corridors but unfortunately ran into this guy and he's really grumpy.
Please leave comments on this post if you want. I appreciate and love them, and for those who leave tags, I also see you and I love you! I'm not sure when another update will be ready, but I will be working on more!

For a story all about acceptance and exploration the TOH fandom is so toxic. I have to avoid going through the main and general tags in fear what I find ( often violent vitriol and flanderization, with no proper tagging or trigger warnings). Even merely questioning canon often leads to skepticism and harassment. I’ve already been bummed out from how the series have turned out and the general mentality of the fandom has made it worse. I don’t want to retreat from the fandom completely, I still find enjoyment in the story despite its flaws and I like a lot of fan content, it’s just hard to do things right now.
I'm sorry that has been your experience; people can be really shitty to each other and it's awful that more people aren't cognizant of the fact that they're talking to a real person behind the screen.
Kids' shows fandoms are notoriously toxic (lookin' at you Steven Universe and Voltron) so please use the block button as needed and find your people. Younger fans tend to be very dogmatic in their approach to fandom when really it should be fun for everyone involved.
We're just kids playing in the sandbox. There's literally no purpose to knocking over someone's sandcastle because they weren't playing along "correctly."
If you need to, take some time for yourself or explore a less toxic fandom. Fandom is not activism, it's just a hobby; so find what makes you happy and ignore the haters.

i love ceret but people dismissing their characters and arcs when making neg posts was upsetting to see and ranboo talking thing oh my god. i stutter and repeat myself similarly and it really makes you feel like shit especially when people tag it with crit? like that’s not criticism you’re just an asshole stuttering isnt a character flaw this fandom is just horrible with characters with any mental issues, like the demonization of cwilbur and either hardcore infantilisation of cranboo and making enderwalk violent/evil/mindless i could go on but i don’t want to clog your inbox but this fandom is just not nice to be in and i watched voltron
GOD YOURE COMPLETELY RIGHT BUT ALSO THE LAST LINE TOOK ME OUT. i think everyone who watched voltron should get a million dollars for emotional damages
sooo much of things ppl "criticise" "c!"ranboo for are just. things i do lol like. 💀 the stuttering and repeating myself a lot? i do that. it's so frustrating like youre not criticising his character youre being mean
and yea especially like on the mental illness topic -- this fandom is so bad in both directions when it comes to cwil. like. "he's evil and irredeemable" is a bad take but so is "he's perfect and all his actions can be excused." like just bc hes mentally ill isnt an excuse for things he's done but it also doesn't mean he should be demonized for them. ppl just cant be normal about that guy
and cranboos enderwalk......... (<- he has seen the horrors of mcyttiktok when "ranboo kils michael during enderwalk" was a big headcanon). like maybe its just bc im kin of him but like. there was nothing to indicate he'd be violent towards anyone ESPECIALLY his son in enderwalk. & something something stereotypes about ppl with DID/OSDD.. like. "guy who sometimes has episodes where he's not himself & memory issues & identity issues... well he MUST be evil and bad during those times!" youve just reinvented anti system ableism (<- is there a specific word for that?)
ANYWAY SORRY i wrote like a whole ass essay whoops 😭 tldr Ur so right. i hate this fandom imgoing to watch voltron

The only thing worse than a plane crash was a plane crash on a violent cannibal-filled island with little hope of rescue.
That wasn’t a string of words Keith even remotely thought was possible to mean seriously, but somehow here he was.

I’m in a mood to fight some fangirlies so welcome to...
THE CIRCULAR HELL THAT IS FANDOM!!! (a mini essay)
yes I’m taking this too seriously shut up.
When I was about 12 I had a surgery that got infected and was put on bedrest for 6 months, right up until my birthday. For a lonely 12 year old there was nothing better to do than catch up on a show my bestie suggested and browse Wattpad tags about it. And that show was Voltron. 
For anyone who doesn’t know, Voltron was a kids animated show that ran for two years and six months, with EIGHT seasons. EIGHT! It was my first proper fandom and if I had to describe the environment in one word, it would be unsupervised. The show itself was a simple space opera/ comedy.  It was fun, it was quirky and it gained a following really, really, quick. 
Because of how quickly the fandom built itself (and the fast release dates) Voltron became a hot bed for the worst sorts of discourse. Now I’m 1000% sure there was extra context from where these people came from before that would give some explanation but I’m only aware of this; A toxic mix of older fans harassing others and younger fans learning from them led to fans actively harassing a voice actor to the point they had security protecting them at cons. More than usual.  
But before I tell you that story; we must know what led up to it. What convinced fans to harass this poor actor? Well.
Within vld (Voltron) there was this huge shipping war  between Klance and Sheith. All you really need to know about those too is that a character named Keith was involved in both of them and there is only one Keith. The actor shipped Sheith. And Klance shippers had been harassing Sheith shippers for as long as they both lived. If you look at any posts from back then you can see just how violent the threats got. 
This actor shipped Sheith. And I still remember the open letters big name fans posted begging people to treat the actor like a person. 
But then Voltron ended in the worst way possible (honestly, look it up) just before my 13th and suddenly a whole bunch of disillusioned fans need somewhere to go, to try and heal.  And where did they go? 
She-ra and Dragon Prince. 
I really recommended watching the Choledoesthings seires on voltron to get an idea of what the fandom was like during its running and after. 
Now heres the circular part. The older fans came from places like Miraculos Ladybug, Hamilton ect. all the bad ones. And then they went to anime and queer kids shows (qks) fandoms, keeping there bad habits and teaching newbies how to act and, in the end, causing the burgeoning toxicity in the Owl House fandom. 
I’m writing this just before  my 18th. I, like so many others my age, got pulled into the same set of QKS fandoms with barely a second thought. Except I watched two season of She-ra and saw it was doing the same thing vld did and got out before I got hurt. 
I like to think I learn’t from my experiences on Wattpad (and boy do I have some stories). Namely that I don’t argue with people on the internet about ships or fanfic or whatever. I keep to myself and if I don’t like something I suck it up. 
But I know for a fact, if you go far enough back on some Owl House fans accounts, you’ll find VLD. Everytime. 
This is the problem. Fandom is great, but only if we work to maintain it. Personally, I'm probably gonna bail on the Owl House if things keep getting worse. But I really don’t want too. I’m going to keep my little buble as it is and recommend you do too. 
Stay safe out there loves. And remember, ships aren’t worth the harassment

Want to cry about Johnchurch today, because apparently I do
I think about… Lucretia could only erase what she could write down. And Merle was the only one who ever went into Parley. Merle was the only one who ever met John. And Merle (Clint) notoriously has a bad memory. Whatever recap he gave to the crew, and to Lucretia for her journals, was never going to be all that detailed.
(And I’m willing to wager, even out of what he did remember, he didn’t tell them ALL of it. Some of those moments were private.)
So Lucretia does her best, but her erasure of the Parley sessions is… spotty. Incomplete. Merle can’t remember WHO the man in a suit that he played chess with was, or what happened to him, or where he met him. But he remembers the man’s face, in snatches and moments. He remembers a tumbled mix of emotions—anger, exasperation, worry, hope, pain. Never fear. He remembers thinking he probably ought to be afraid, that most people would be, that it would make a lot more sense to be afraid. But fear was never quite the right description of what he felt, thinking of the man in the suit.
His memories of the man in the suit are… strange. Fractured. His head hurts if he tries to think about them for too long or too closely, if he tries too hard to remember, to put it back in context. But snatches of their conversation drift to him, across the years. Strange, sometimes incomprehensible snippets, where the words out of his own mouth don’t make any damn sense.
(This works, by the way, with the headcanon that Merle’s spotty memory occasionally spits out something backward, something ought-to-be-voidfished, like when he says in the first episode that he feels like he and Magnus and Taako have grown apart. There’s a little bit more of an opening, a little bit more of a handhold for the memories to pry their way back in, than there is for the others.)
And he knows—senses, remembers, intuits—that he shouldn’t tell anyone else about his memories of the man in the suit. He feels, with an almost violent certainty, utterly strange considering how vague his memories of the man himself are, that no one else would understand. So he stays quiet. The man lives in his head and his fogged memories, at once intrusive and comforting. The man was important to him, or is important to him still. Merle isn’t sure which one it is. He’s never been one to let himself get stuck on quandaries, theological, existential, physical, or otherwise, though, so he lets it be. He’ll meet the man again one day. He feels quite sure of that. In the right moment, and the right place, he’ll meet the man again, and something about his shambles of a life will click back into place.
The day of Story and Song happens, and everything rushes back, and the only moment of calm he gets for the next several hours is the near-silent goodbye on the beach, during which he and John do nothing but exist side by side, for a little while. It’s all either of them really want or are able to do. Anything else is too messy, too painful. This way, it ends in peace.
Everyone else—all the other members of the red robes—they will have time to reconcile, to work through piecing back together their shattered memories and disjointed lives. Merle will have time for a proper talk with Lucretia, for a joyful reunion with Lup. He’ll have time to sit down at a table with Davenport a week later and play euchre, until both of them, almost without warning, find that they’re both crying. He’ll have time to pull his kids onto his lap and tell them his own version of the Story, of how they fit into it. He’ll have time to puzzle his life back into a complete picture.
He doesn’t get time with John.
He’s walked around with a half-static memory of the man for a decade, and there’s no time to process the truth before they have to say goodbye.
No one else knew him. No one else will ever mourn him. Everyone else is celebrating his demise. If there’s grief, it’s only Merle’s.
His end is peaceful, by the shore, and silent, because Merle has no time to unpick all the things he wants to say.
That’s alright, though. They both know that’s alright. John’s been muddled too, if differently, unable to think clearly for years, crushed beneath the collective scream of The Hunger. It’s a blessing to have that moment of clarity and peace at all.
They don’t need to say anything. They both already know.
Still, it aches in Merle’s chest at night, sometimes, like the pain of his phantom arm, all the things he might have said and never did.

Do you have any good Humans are space orcs/humans are weird (that kind of thing) short story links?
Hoo okay so the reason that I was asking about the Doctors Without Borders one (which is here, incidentally, and which you should read if you haven't come across it before) is that 1) I have been doing some personal archival work to save some internet stories offline, but 2) I have been historically good about tagging my fandom stuff but have unfortunately left most non-fandom stuff untagged, and by the time I realized I ought to've created a humans are weird tag it was too late, so my blog is Not a good place to try and find them. But, since I'm trying to dig them up for myself anyway, I can share the ones I've managed to find so far. And hey: open invitation to anyone who wants to put links to their favorites of the Humans Are Weird stories in the reblogs or replies!
I'm also going to recommend you check out blogs like @what-are-even-humans and @space-australians, which exist to archive these sorts of stories. I will also do what someone did in the replies of my query post and point you to r/HFY and specifically its sidebar of links to previous classics and must-reads -- I'm not as familiar with that bc I don't use reddit so much but it helped me dig a couple of these back up.
But onto a few highlights:
Stabby the Space Roomba is required reading, he is our beloved Tumblr mascot of Humans Are Weird and you'll see Stabby referenced in other stories like this
Less a humans-specifically-are-weird and more of a Earth-is-a-death-world in general, but as I remember it, this post actually predates the explosion of Humans are Weird/Humans are Space Australians/Humans are Deathworlders on tumblr, and I suspect helped inspire it as people went from "wow our planet is full of weird shit" to "maybe... we also... are some weird shit". Take a wander through the notes of that one, it has a million different branching reblog chains and it's different every time I see it.
Humans Are Unstoppable Until They Aren't
Drake McDougal (Part One) (Part Two) (Alternate Part Two)
Last Contact
You Really Want a Human (Ginna's Story) (Miscellaneous)
I KNOW there are more that I want to find again that I'm gonna have to get creative about searching for (again, open invitation to drop your favorites on this post!) but that's what I have for now and it should get you started.

Made a Yuri on Ice meme while talking to a friend about genre conventions in sports anime the other day and I feel strongly that I ought to inflict it on the world
[ID: The galaxy brain meme. Next to the smallest brain the text reads, “Yuri doesn’t need a sports anime protagonist superpower because he’s already an internationally competitive figure skater.” Next to the middle brain the test reads, “Yuri doesn’t have a sports anime protagonist superpower, which is not only narratively appropriate for his character but also largely the point of the whole series. He is a skilled and dedicated athlete whose greatest achievements come from passion and tireless hard work, but all of that can only flourish under the support and guidance of people who love him and see his potential, even when he cannot see it himself. YoI is about the achievements that come from commitment, because it is at heart a love story.” Next to the largest brain the text reads, “Yuri’s sports anime protagonist superpower is that he’s sexy.” /end ID]

My #1 post of 2022
The sending stone died before Cerrit made it out. And Cerrit is a full-classed rogue. No Sending, no spells at all. With nothing but destroyed continent beneath him, he’d have no way to contact anyone.
His family had *no idea* he made it out. They very probably assumed he didn’t.
When the entire continent of Dunemas went dark, when the news started to filter back of its destruction, when the scant survivors started trying to reach their families…there was no reason to believe that Cerrit had escaped.
Survivors and their stories emerge—but they’re civilians, mostly. Regular people who escaped on ships, through teleport, through trees.
The ones from Avalir and Cathmoíra have one particular story to tell: at the end, the Herald told them that the ring of gold, the magisters, the leaders of the city would go down with the ship. That no space on what lifeboats they had would be taken from Avalir’s people.
So that’s the answer: Cerrit, too, would have gone down with the ship.
His wife probably had a difficult conversation with their children. Told them about sacrifice, told them sometimes we lose people but they will always love us just the same, told them that their dad sent them away from the city because he loved them more than anything in the world and then spent every last moment he could trying to save as many more people as he could because he was a good man, because he cared so deeply, because he found problems and fixed them. These conversations probably happened amidst panic and chaos, as news of the attack of Vasselheim spread, as the gods descended and magic raged out of control across Exandria, as the Betrayer gods wrought as much destruction as they could cause.
Were they still at home, when Cerrit finally found them? Did their home still exist after all those weeks he took flying across the ocean? Did they need to flee somewhere safer? Did Kir scrawl a note somewhere the wreckage — “Wingspan: gone north-by-northeast. Look for trail markers on the trees” because he’d promised, mom, he promised, and what if he’s coming but he can’t find us because we’re not here? Did Cerrit have to bring every ounce of his investigation and tracking skills — with no magic, no Avalir, no Patia to let him look back at memories, no Quay to inspire him, no Nydas to fund or enchant any helpful items, no partner to compare notes with, nothing but his sharp eyes and his brain and utter fucking determination — to follow after his family, weeks on an already weeks-long journey, slow and messy and fearing every day he might be too late?
Did he show up almost unrecognizable, head to toe in soot and dirt, some new scar from his near brushes with death, some fresh wounds still bound in bandages for want of anyone with healing spell slots? Did he find his family weary, grieving, scared, but whole and—for the moment—safe? Did they even believe it was him at first? Did they fear he was a ghost, or worse, some horror dragged from the wreckage of Avalir and reanimated by an enraged Asmodeus? Did he take off a bandage to show he still bleeds, and bleeds red, did he kiss his children’s heads and call Kir “Talon”, and see Maya clutching the sphere as if she hasn’t let go of it since it landed in her hands, and tell her—voice breaking at the reminder of Patia, at the first thing he has seen in months besides himself that survived Avalir’s destruction—that he is so, so proud of her, and more importantly he loves her so, so much, and then they knew, then they were sure: Cerrit kept his promise.

The romantic nature of EVA foam and edible spray paint
The romantic nature of EVA foam and edible spray paint https://archiveofourown.org/works/48871630 by ApolloStories Keith could confidently say that he knew his boyfriend better than he knew anyone in the universe. He knew every discomfort and fear, loved every inch of perfect scarred skin. He knew Shiro’s biggest, worst kept secret. It wasn’t the arena. It wasn’t the nightmares that plagued him every night, wasn’t his deep seated fear of failure, the fear of making a decision so awful it managed to cause the brutal slaughter of his entire team like a gaggle of innocent ducklings on a motorway. The Paladins weren’t ducklings, closer to a flock of geese with excessively violent tendencies, but it didn't stop Shiro from worrying. It was the simple fact that Takashi Shirogane was the biggest nerd to leave Earth. Words: 2233, Chapters: 1/1, Language: English Fandoms: Voltron: Legendary Defender Rating: Explicit Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings Categories: M/M Characters: Keith (Voltron), Shiro (Voltron), Lance (Voltron) Relationships: Keith/Shiro (Voltron) Additional Tags: Cosplay, Fluff, Fluff and Humor, Fluff and Smut, Romantic Fluff, Tooth-Rotting Fluff, Oral Sex, Boys In Love, Witchblade - Freeform, sexy cosplay, Laughter During Sex, Laughter, Keith (Voltron) is Bad at Feelings, Bottom Shiro (Voltron), Simp Shiro (Voltron), your honour they're in love via AO3 works tagged 'Keith/Shiro (Voltron)' https://archiveofourown.org July 26, 2023 at 02:09AM

The Return of Cinema Subterrain’s March Screening: THINK OF THE CHILDREN! Videos about toys and moral panics!
Tumblr media
Cinema Subterrain was a free monthly microcinema held in the basement of L.A. Mood Comics and Games’ Richmond Street location, which ran from 2004-2006.
17 years later, we’ve brought it back!
For those who are not familiar, Cinema Subterrain is totally free to all! Heckling, jokes and talking during the screenings are wholly encouraged! Bring your own snacks and beverages! Bring some to share! In its original run, Cinema Subterrain had a potluck / social gathering vibe - we want to keep that feeling alive with its return!
The full Winter / Spring Schedule is live!
For more info on upcoming screenings and schedule, visit:

Our March Screening promises to be one of our most eclectic! 
The Return Of Cinema Subterrain Presents: THINK OF THE CHILDREN!!!! (A Screening of Videos about Toys and Moral Panics!)
Violence! Depravity! Think of the Children! 
Moral panics are part of the fabric of culture, a reaction of an older generation when emergent media and cultural forms threaten to disrupt the moral order: Cinema,Jazz, Comic Books, Rock n’ Roll, VIdeogames! All have faced their moment where parents, religious groups and politicians took aim and claimed that impressionable youth were going to be compromised and corrupted!
This month’s screening looks at moral panics through the lens of toys - and features newsreels, artist projects, and religious propaganda. Are toys too violent? Are they the tools of the devil? Remember the great Cabbage Patch Kids Riot of 1983? All these questions and many more will be asked! Some will be answered! And these answers will (hopefully) amuse, delight and elicit laughter and mockery! 
Newsreel Highlights from the screening include: Lego! Laser Tag! Mr. Potatohead! Capt Power! Ninja Turtles! More! 
Featured videos include:
Action Man: Battlefield Casualties. (2015) 3 mins. Darren Cullen, aka Spelling Mistakes Cost Lives. 
A series of short satirical commercials, showing us what happens to Action Man (The UK version of Gi Joe), after the battle is over. Created by British Artist and Culture Jammer Darren Cullen, commissioned by UK organization Veterans for Peace, with narration by Matt Berry! 
Barbie Liberation Organization: Operation Newspeak (1992) 28 mins. 
The newsreel / manifesto video created in 1992 by the Barbie Liberation Organization artist group, famous for swapping out the voice boxes between Teen Talk Barbie and talking Gi Joe Dolls of the era, which was a critical response to gendered stereotypes in the toy industry. 
Deception of a Generation. (1984) 79 mins.
Is My Little Pony using witchcraft to entice young girls? Are He-Man and Voltron part of the Devil’s strategy to corrupt the minds of young boys? Two American evangelicals discuss this, and much more in Deception of Generation. Released directly to VHS in 1984, this video undoubtedly led to some poor kids having their parents throw out and / or burn their dolls and action figures.

Chapters: 1/1 Fandom: Voltron: Legendary Defender Rating: Teen And Up Audiences Warnings: Creator Chose Not To Use Archive Warnings, Graphic Depictions Of Violence Relationships: Hunk/Lance (Voltron) Characters: Hunk (Voltron), Lance (Voltron) Additional Tags: Magic AU, demon hunter AU, demon hunter lance, demon hunk, Immortal Lance, Temporary Character Death, mildly dubious relationship, Questionable Relationship, loss of limbs mentioned, lots of blood, langstron gift exchange 2020, tsundere lance kinda Summary:
“I know what you really are, so there’s no use playing innocent.”
“I-I don’t know what you’re talking about!” The teen continued, cowering in trepid fear. “Please! I’m just a kid! I don’t have any money!”
“Yeah, sorry, but Lance isn’t an easy guy to fool,” a new voice spoke. The amused chuckled that followed pulled the teen’s attention to the wall, spying a man sitting on the side of the wall as though it were horizontally flat. The man pushed off from the wall, seeming to glide rather than fall with a controlled pace, feet landing with an impossibly silent touch. He flashed at a grin at the stunned youth, eyes gleaming with a golden aura. “I gotta admit though – even I wouldn’t have noticed if Lance wasn’t so…intimately familiar with all a demon’s ticks~”
