the best trope in media is: “characters turn on the lights, see the monster, and immediately turn the lights back off”

it is once again... binturong appreciation hour

buckwild to see swifties posting takes like "I feel like this album... is the most classic works of literature. As if these words... were always waiting to be written. I'm going to tattoo all of the lyrics on my skin so they can live forever" and then seeing someone else post a screenshot of the lyrics and it's some shit like "welcome to my dark and twisted mind / I'm the girl nobody ever notices / the joker hasn't seen half of what I've seen / call me the girlker / [reference to current trending media franchise]"

Public speaking is actually really easy if you don't respect a single soul in that room. I've had an incredibly easy time delivering speeches when I hated everybody I saw and they all thought I did amazing because my disdain was read as confidence. I don't have any tips for you I'm just telling you a fact

I know that Nintendo gets a lot of hate, but honestly, I think they should be hated even more.

Fucked

when someone points out that something is ableist you actually don't have to admit to doing it

like when I talk about discrimination I do not want to hear "I've done this before. [insert story about how they were bigoted towards people like me] I will do better though" do you want an award? for doing the bare minimum of not continuing to harass and belittle disabled people?

literally no one wants to hear about your bigotry

Something that gave H.P. Lovecraft nightmares is the work of my favorite artist. In "At the Mountains of Madness" he specifically mentions "the strange and disturbing Asian paintings of Nicholas Roerich."

This is what Roerich's paintings look like:

#hp lovecraft thought penguins were grotesque and horrifying#he was not a difficult man to frighten

Sometimes when I feel sad, I imagine him backed into a corner as I whisper 'I have a college degree' into his ear.

I know we're all having a good time making fun of 'ole Howie P, and with good reason, but this kinda thing extends beyond his racism-addled brain. Alfred Hitchcock was known as one of the masters of horror film and he admitted to being scared by everything from policemen to eggs. He was not difficult to frighten either.

The way some people think of horror authors or directors, you'd imagine they'd have an unflinching iron will, almost impossible to frighten because nothing you can throw at them matches the horrors within their minds. Or alternatively they are Gomez Addams, taking a childlike delight in the macabre.

In reality, most of them are just as easily frightened as anyone else, and their writing often reflects their specific anxieties. Sure, there's some that probably DO delight in horror fiction, but I think with most creators, the whole "this would even frighten so-and-so" isn't that much of a selling point.
