it saddens me that hp is a text instead of an audiovisual medium because Barty Crouch Jr's Disgusting Sweaty Open-Mouthed Pervert Panting™️ is so so important to me

You watch slasher movies? I haven't done so in years (much to my disappointment), got any recommendations, classics, popular, underrated, anything really?

I knew I hadn't watched them in a long time, but it wasn't till I had to try and write something based on classic slashers, that I realized how long its been since I consumed that kind of content.

My only plan so far is that I need to watch The Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Alright, Pandora, it depends on your tastes, and what you look for in a "slasher" ❤️

As you may remember, I fucking love the OG the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and when I got pretty bad last month emotionally I watched it on repeat for two weeks straight. However, if you go in for a regular slasher film you will be disappointed. The first movie is incredible, focusing on amazing shots and atmosphere for nearly the entire first half. It's less of a slasher as we would come to know the genre, and more of an artistic film centered around the horrors of humanity. The series is a wonderful mess of multiple timelines and little continuity, but the sequels better fit the slasher archetype. The best sequel (imo) is the one directly after the first, and it's a black comedy slasher, focusing more on the kills.

Now, slashers ❤️

If you're a nerd and want to experience the slasher history, then before Halloween (which still holds up) there was Black Christmas, and before that the Town that Dreaded Sundown.

The Town that Dreaded Sundown is based off a true serial killer, and unlike TCM which is loosely inspired by Ed Gein, a lot of the kills (except the trombone scene) are based on actual murders, with his mask accurate to the only real world survivor's testimony of her assault. It's very slow pace, and with how desensitized we are as a society you might find it boring, but if you ever get a phonecall from Ghostface, then you have to know the Town that Dreaded Sundown. Fun fact, his mask also inspired Jason's mask from Friday the 13th part 2!

Black Christmas is awesome! I'd recommend it more than Sundown, because of pacing, characters, acting, and overall atmosphere. I love my second wave feminism horror (Stepford Wives (mwah)), and it did a lot better with it's feminist themes than the loose remake from 2019 that tried to be intentionally feminist (ignore the 2006 remake entirely, so bad, so lame, so gross). It did the first person perspective of the killer nearly four years before Halloween's iconic opening. It introduced the idea of the final girl, but she wouldn't become a sexually repressed younger woman until Halloween solidified the trope. It has some great kills that still hold up, and Billy is iconic. I really feel the only reason why he isn't more well known in non-horror spaces is because he doesn't have a mask or outfit that can be replicated and sold in Spirit.

After that we have our most well known slashers, and they're popular for good reason ❤️

A Nightmare on Elm St, Friday the 13th, and Halloween spawned sequels that spiraled off into varying degrees of madness, but still have fun moments.

After the success of Friday the 13th (and the realization of the franchise-ability of slashers) there were a lot of slashers that tried to capture the money magic of the first few success stories. Not all of them were great, but a few notable slashers imo are My Bloody Valentine and the Dentist.

Although Candyman is often lumped in with slashers, like the Texas Chainsaw Massacre, the first movie is more than a traditional slasher. I recommend the first one as a beautiful love story about the horrors of American racism. It's score is still incredible, the behind the scenes are so interesting, and Tony Todd is absolutely beautiful. Such an amazing actor. (Not so) Fun fact: Tony Todd said in the behind the scenes that there originally was a romantic scene where Helen proclaimed her love for Candyman, but they were forced to cut it, because "they were okay with a tall, black man covered in bees.. but, mm, when it came to a kiss, or something like that, it was a little bit too risque..." ( :/ )

(Please please please watch Candyman)

Then the best, or worst (depending on your views), thing happened to the genre; Scream.

One of the best slashers there is, it isn't the first self referential, meta horror (see Wes Craven's New Nightmare), but it did change the slasher genre for a very long time. It was a revival for the genre, since it was declining in popularity by the early 90s. However, post Scream horror was very meta. See Chucky's personality changing from the occasional funny quip, to Bride of Chucky levels of silly (still love him tho). Of the terrible horror trying to copy Scream, I'd recommend Urban Legend over I Know What You Did Last Summer. It was a shame, just how silly a lot of scary movies got back then, trying to be as smart and self aware as Scream was.

But my favorite (outside of Scream) meta horror slasher film is Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon ❤️ took meta to a whole new level, mockumentary style, a camera crew follows a wannabe slasher killer explaining how to be a slasher icon.

I've watched too many slashers to remember all of them right now, but if you want really meta black comedies, Tucker and Dale vs Evil isn't a slasher but a loving joke on the genre, and the Final Girls made me laugh and cry like a little bitch.

A lot of slashers since the late 90s have drifted closer to the black comedy sub genre. Killers that kill for the sake of killing are often B-rated blood fests, that can be great for mindless fun but not so great for box office gains, especially in our current horror renaissance. Slashers don't fit in to the current horror culture. Serial killers aren't scary for desensitized audiences, and the mindless gore expectations set by older slasher films have created a pretty specific genre setup and pay off (dumb people who only exist to die get brutally murdered). It either has to be B-rated mindless fun (Laid to Rest 1 and 2 had terrible camera work and directing, making even incredible actors like Lena Headey feel lackluster, but the practical effects are so impressive I'd recommend it just for the blood and guts (and bewbs)), or comedic (the Hatchet series has great cameos, genuine laughs, and more impressive practical effects, but with good cinematography and directing (still bewbs)). Slashers that don't lean in to how ridiculous the concept of slashers are and try to take themselves seriously often end up falling short, either creating boring killers with no personality or trying to force a plot into a generic slasher shaped hole.

This does include most remakes of slasher movies, as a lot of slashers were remade in the early 2000's with less interesting characters to be killed off by the slashers. The remake of Candyman was an exception, because even though it wasn't as good as the original, it did go back to it's non slasher roots, learning from the mistake that was the third Candyman.

TLDR:

Non slashers that are considered slashers because of the slasher sequels/iconic murderers:

the Texas Chainsaw Massacre

Candyman

Child's Play

Best Precursor to the genre:

Black Christmas

Popular Classics:

Halloween

Friday the 13th

a Nightmare on Elm St

Pre 90's Slashers that I recommend:

The Dentist

Sleepaway Camp (it's divided on whether it's problematic or interesting representation)

Alice, Sweet Alice

My Bloody Valentine

Post 90's meta commentary/black comedy:

Scream

Behind the Mask: the Rise of Leslie Vernon

Hatchet

The Final Girls

Tucker and Dale vs Evil

There are obviously a lot more, but these are a few off the top of my head ❤️

#i hope you like these #slashers #just a few that i like #the texas chainsaw massacre #candyman #black christmas #halloween #friday the 13th #a nightmare on elm street #the dentist #sleepaway camp #my bloody valentine #alice sweet alice #childs play #scream #behind the mask #hatchet #the final girls #tucker and dale vs evil #meta horror

literally saying this as a hater of both veneers and plastic surgery but the reason you think those procedures "always look bad" is because when they're done well you can't tell they were done at all. survivorship bias or whatever

#like there absolutely are people out there with gorgeous natural-looking veneers i literally treated one today #but the thing is unless you're their dentist you can't tell they have veneers. because they're natural-looking. #the rise in super white super straight super square veneers is literally just a trend that's not what veneers *have* to look like #and tbh i can promise you a lot of dentists (or at least the dentists i've studied under) fuckin' hate that look too #but if that's what patients want they're gonna find a way to get it #anyway the line between 'cosmetic' and 'necessary' in dentistry is blurry bc dentistry inherently has cosmetic qualities #and also the cosmetics of your smile have such an extreme impact on your social development and quality of life #again i'm not a fan of veneers and there are very few situations where i'd recommend them #but it's not as black-and-white as 'veneers ugly and bad'

have no idea how long it'll take to clear my survival cheque so please know there's no way I can thank anyone who has shared my literal daily pleas for assistance, and especially those who donate, enough.

I want to update my main post but I also don't because none of this has to do with my pre housing debt clearing it's just about day to day survival. I hate when my pinned posts get bogged down with unnecessary bs about temporary problems, it makes the whole post less shareable. So let me just say it still hasn't cleared, of course it is the weekend, but I will share as soon as it does. I've got about $45 but I'd really hope to get just over $60 so I can also pick up a pack of adult diapers.

please share if you'd like

Ghost and Pals characters recreated in Pony Town

why? Because I can

first is the newest one, that being Nana(also known as Dizzy)

then my beloved Blorbo, Christopher Pierre. Yes he’s an alicorn, I cannot be stopped. Nana would have been an alicorn but if I gave her wings the wings would have blocked the effort I put into her clothes

and now my comfort character who’s main character trait is being dead! I love him so much :3

and his wife of course

and the man who almost cured my fear of dentists(how did THAT happen? He should have made it worse ahdhdjdj)

and finally the sad pathetic girl herself. Someone told me they hoped my tooth felt better soon when I was walking around playing her. Thank you random pony town player, that was really really sweet of you

I rant a lot about Wei Sect! AUs and The Wens Live! AUs and any other similar vibe AUs because I love the idea of Lan Wangji tripping and falling ass over teakettle into this loving and tight-knit community who have all just sort of adopted him and didn’t bother to tell him and then inevitably one of the Lan elders tries to get on his ass about the amount of time he’s spending there but LWJ only stopped by Cloud Recesses to pick up a book that he thinks Second Cousin would like and to check to see if the Lan physicians have had time to try out the extraction method Fourth Uncle invented to increase the potency of most medicines and he already has one foot out the door because if he isn’t back for his turn to watch a-Yuan Wen Qing will yell at him so the elders are left staring in affront at the empty space where Lan Wangji was a minute ago And that’s great and I love it but you know who I don’t give enough love in these AUs? Lan Xichen.  This man would thrive and delight among the Wen settlement. Are you kidding me? It takes him a little while to get over Wen Ning’s whole Being Dead thing but once he does his entire brain goes “it’s free didi.” He drinks Fourth Uncle under the table every night for a week straight before Wei Wuxian rats him out for his burn-the-alcohol-with-his-golden-core trick, and Fourth Uncle is so thrilled about being had so thoroughly he immediately starts plotting a counter-prank. Wen Popo refuses to answer to anything other than Wen Popo and she calls Xichen Huan-er and the first time it happens he has to go lie down about it and Lan Wangji finds his brother and pets his head and says “Yes, they do things like that, it’s quite alarming at first but really quite nice once you get used to it. Xiongzhang? Are you crying?” and Lan Xichen doesn’t say no because lying is forbidden but he does drag his brother into a hug the way he hasn’t dared since they were children and Lan Wangji just cuddles up and lets him the way he hasn’t since they were children and while they’re lying there having emotions all over each other a-Yuan toddles in looking for his Rich-gege and his Fancy-gege and he wastes no time in joining the cuddle puddle. 

#mdzs #the untamed #lan wangji #lan xichen #the twin jades #the burial mounds settlement #the wen remnants #Yeah I sell fluff and fluff accessories #gird your dentists kids #I wonder if I can fit something like this into Black Lanters #also WEN POPO CALLING LXC HUAN-ER #And of course LWJ Zhan-er! #They deserve it! Let them be babie!

I feel like Little Shop of Horrors borrows a lot from Black Culture but I can't find any good essays on it

(In my mind it's mainly the black girl trio and the fact that Audrey II sings in a style typically associated with black people)

Though I'm non-black so I feel like this isn't really my place to talk.

#I would love to see a production with an entirely black cast though. (Except for a few characters like the contract ones and the dentist) #because i feel like the story would hit so much harder if Seymour and Aurdey were black. Like. there's really a class thing going on #so. theres that. #https://patabook.com/news/2024/02/27/dreamgirls-and-little-shop-of-horrors-helped-to-cement-the-legacy-of-black-girl-group-of-the-60s/ #https://brandeishoot.com/2015/12/04/little-shop-of-horrors-fails-to-reflect-traditional-black-roles/ #essays i found.

I went to the dentist, and for context my dentist is hilarious, super charismatic kinda crazy (all dentist are) and he's in my mouth and inspecting my teeth and the conversation goes as follows:

Him: *Fingers and instruments all up in my mouth* Looks really good! Except for they are SUPER...

Me: aineh?

Him: Yes, 'stained'. Aesthetically they are still fine, but I wonder- I don't see this long term build up often. How'd you do that?

Me: Aye ink ea. (I drink tea).

Him: Run that by me again?

Me: Aye. Ink. Ea.

Him: *fucking with me* hm?

Me: Ea!

Him: *Fingers still in my mouth* Ea? You're going to have to say that a bit loud-

Me: *At the top of my lungs, closing my eyes and screaming* EA!! AYE INK EAAAA!!! EEEAAAAAAAAA!!!

Him: *Now laughing like a maniac* Ea!

Cheeky bastard, he's lucky he's the best dentist I've ever met so he can get away with his tomfoolery.

#Am I the only one who chain-drinks tea? #I have at least three cups each morning and three cups at night how else am I supposed to function? #The theory is clowning and dentistry are just the same profession #tea time #black tea #dentist #tomfoolery #my teeth are stained but oh weeellll

June 2011　KTM　Kathmandu　Bhaktapur

We arrived in Bhaktapur. Our first stop today was our mutual friend who will be our guide in Bhaktapur. She just started dental clinic in Bhaktapur and she taught us a lot about her equipment and how dentistry works :) She was born and raised in this city. She knows every corner of the city. She guided us through the maze-like city :) I'll be uploading pictures of Bhaktapur for a while :)

我々は、Bhaktapurに到着しました。今日、Bhaktapurの案内役をしてくれる友達のところへまずは立ち寄りました。彼女は、Bhaktapurで歯科医院を開業したばかりで、機材の事や、歯医者の仕組みなど、教えてくれました：）彼女はこのこの街生まれのこの町育ち。街の隅々まで知っています。迷路のような街を、案内してくれました：）しばらくの間、そんなBhaktapurの街の様子を撮影した写真をupしていきます：）

the dentist fixed my two front teeth and i'm just sitting here like. oh wow. i can smile without immediately getting embarrassed now. holy shit

#i still have a few black teeth because of my previous dentist deliberately fucking my teeth up to charge more 🙃 #but i really don't care about the appearance of those ones all that much tbh #both my front teeth were nearly gone (one was - again - wrecked by the dentist) so in comparison it's nothing lol

[rederiswrites]

I am a huge fan of public art and of murals, and artful graffiti is absolutely included in that.

#I say this of course as a country person who lives miles from an underpass #much less an unattended concrete wall #the bridge i go through on the way to the dentist has #'think for yourself' tagged on it in plain black #so that's the closest I've got lol
