I saw that you wanted requests, and then I saw that you write for sally face and I rushed right over! Currently thrown back into my sally face obsession lol. Anyways, could I request some platonic headcanons for a fem reader being part of the main gang? Basically just what it's like to be friends with them and being part of their group, what kind of shenanigans reader gets into with them, just friendship stuff if that's okay ^^ and feel free to throw some romantic stuff in there like who is most likely to develop a crush on reader. Hopefully this isnt too much I'm sorry if it is
Tumblr media
ᴀ/ɴ : AHHHH! I WAS SO EXCITED WHEN I READ THIS. LIKE IM BEAMING WITH JOY AS I WRITE THIS. DON’T YOU DARE APOLOGIZE!! I LOVE SALLY FACE AND HAVEN’T GOT A SF REQ IN A LOOONGGG TIME AND IM JUST SO HAPPY TO HEAR SOMEONE FROM THE OTHER SIDE AGAIN LOL! This isn’t too much at all and I’m so hyped to write this! Please enjoy! ♡︎
Tumblr media
INTRODUCTION 
I feel like it is Ashely who originally introduced you to the group
You two were originally pretty close friends and she decided to bring you more!
Now for the first impressions…
Larry would immediately warm up to you
you two would hit it off as if you didn’t know what the word stranger was!
Todd would sorta be indifferent to you originally
smiles and nods at you but goes on with tinkering with his projects 
But I feel like sally would be awkward at first with you..
Like how he reacted when he first saw Ashley…imagine how he reacted with you! 
He was originally worried on how you would react to his prosthetic 
But you never showed any negative expressions!
You had nothing but love and support to give!
And you were funny and pretty!
How was he supposed to react to that?
But as you guys hung out more and as Todd and sal saw how you interacted with the other half of the group they would warm up considerably more!
   NOW WITH THE GROUP!
I feel like it would be so hectic…
But so fun at the same time..
You and Todd would so have study sessions together! 
Sometimes Larry would join but we all know you never get any work done with him around
Todd and you could talk for hours about the most interesting topics! 
Larry would most definitely put his two cents here and there and it would always crack you up!
Todd would always be exasperated but Larry means well!
Larry and you would be the best of twins.
When I say you two get into the deepest shit together I mean it.
He’s your partner in crime what can you say?
With Ashley I can see her having painting sessions with you and sal would just be in the back struggling..
You guys definitely have treehouse hangs!
If you got into some demonic shenanigans that treehouse would be your go to.
You and sal would be smoke buddies, if he can’t hang with Larry than it has to be you
He finds you so endearing 
NEVER LEAVE THAT MAN ALONE WHEN HES HIGH
he can get so scared if his own thoughts…(ᗒᗣᗕ)՞
But one day you two are just chilling high asf and his munchkin of a cat comes crawling over 
Immediately you cherish gizmo and he cherishes you. 
Probs likes you more than sal
Sal already liked you but seeing this?
A fellow cat person?? Say less 
As soon as sally saw that he was never letting you go.
Now for the shenanigans you guys get into….
I can just see larry convincing you guys to try out this goofy Oujii board with cheeto dust he saw off E-Bay
And Todd’s like “ it would be good data..”
So here you guys are speed running through the halls because the demons wasn’t in the mood to deal with 5 emotionally traumatized teenagers..
May or may not have accidentally let more demons in Addison apartments
You and Ashley have friend ship bracelets. It’s just a fact!
Feel like you, Larry and sal would go to a gas station in the ungodly hours of the day and create the worst abominations with candy, Gatorade, packets of sauce, and yogurt and have you guys try them.
Probably pranked Todd with some of the worst ones..
For romance I would feel like Ashley would love to draw in you if you were her S/O 
(TW) : if you had sh scars are any scars of any kind she would draw hearts and stars on them
Same thing with sal, he loves kissing them,
making sure you feel the love he never got
For the one who would be most likely to develop a crush… 👀 
I think sal would..
If you showed never wavering love and devotion to that man he would just melt 
actually tears up if he showed you his face and you didn’t recoil back 
Like what did he do to deserve you?
Nothing bbg it’s all you
*sobs* give him love!
If you were with Larry I imagine you guys having late night drives…
Listening to ear fracturing death metal as you talk about your guys hopes and dreams..

Horror By The Decade: 1980s!
So as you all know by now, @comicreliefmorlock and I have been doing a film series watching horror movies from each decade of film, starting in the 1890s, and it’s been a lot of fun :) 
The 1980s were, for many people, the horror heyday. While compiling my list of essential films from the decade, I discovered some interesting trends: 
Franchises! Every movie gets spun out into sequels, and recurring characters (and unique, brandable character design) become important in a way never before seen (except possibly in the 1930s with Universal, but even then). The 80s gives us the birth of lots of horror franchises we’re still familiar with and making movies about today 
Slashers! We saw the beginnings of the slasher in the 1970s with classics like Black Christmas and Halloween, but this trend absolutely exploded in the 1980s. There are countless iterations of the basic “teenagers get carved up by a killer” formula, from the famous franchises like Jason and Freddy to the lesser-known cult classics like Prom Night and Sleepaway Camp. 
B Movies! In the 70s, we had the grindhouse exploitation flick. By the 80s, VHS was gaining in prominence, and direct-to-video film releases started to happen -- starting in 1985 with a slasher called Blood Cult. This new method of cheap distribution paved the way for a ton of low-budget horrors to flourish, for better or worse. 
Sci-Fi! Around 1986, there was an absolute explosion of sci-fi horror, with a proliferation of aliens, space travel, mutations and more. 
Anyway, in the spirit of #SocialDistancing, we decided to do this week’s film series remotely, which actually worked out pretty well. The only downside? Netflix had some limited offerings, so our “theme night” was a bit odd. But! We persevered!
First up: Child’s Play (1988) directed by Tom Holland (no not that one)
youtube
When notorious serial killer Charles Lee Ray is fatally wounded during a police chase through a toy store, he uses a voodoo ritual (I know) to transfer his soul into a nearby doll. 
That doll then ends up in the hands of a little boy after his single mother buys it for him from a questionable back-alley vendor. Murderous mayhem follows as the possessed doll tries to clean up loose ends from his life and secure a more permanent body. 
Chucky (the doll) is one of the best-known and most successful horror franchise characters from the 80s, and one responsible for traumatizing a generation of young people. A late-comer to the scene, Child’s Play manages to capitalize on a lot of things that came before -- especially, I think, A Nightmare on Elm Street, which introduced the world to the idea of a wise-cracking killer as opposed to a silent predator. Chucky’s attitude and smart mouth are part of what makes him such an iconic figure, just like Freddy. 
Child’s Play also successfully taps into a lot of anxieties regarding class and consumer culture -- a single mother struggling to give a certain kind of life to her sweet and precocious child is a storyline that never fails to tug at primal emotions. That the story also flirts with the “satanic panic” of the 1980s, and spends so much time in the unsavory parts of inner-city Chicago (filled with so many threatening homeless people and minorities!) hardly seems like a coincidence. 
The film (and certainly its sequels) leans into the inherent absurdity of its premise. It’s not afraid to be campy and cheesy, and there’s a lot of hilarity, both intentional and unintentional. But it does deliver some scares, and most especially some exquisite practical effects. If you’ve somehow never seen this, you’re in for a treat. 
Speaking of unintentionally hilarious films about why white people shouldn’t fuck with the supernatural...
youtube
Sam Raimi’s The Evil Dead (1981) has its fingerprints all over the horror genre. This is THE cabin-in-the-woods film, the movie that would lay down all of the tropes we’d come to know and love.
The pitch: Five college students vacation in a rural cabin, where they discover an evil book and a voice recording that causes them to get possessed by demons. What follows is a gory, macabre and frequently hilarious sequence of mayhem involving dismemberment, sexual assault by a tree, and some spectacularly jarring claymation. 
I had never actually seen this film, despite being very familiar with it (and being a big fan of the Ash vs Evil Dead TV show), and man, it is a treat. You have to go into it with the right mindset -- this movie is ridiculous and exists predominantly to provide new gross-out moments -- but if you embrace the campiness you’ll be rewarded. 
Like its spiritual predecessor Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Evil Dead was an exercise in torturing a young and inexperienced cast. Conditions on set were bleak, with actors sustaining injuries, catching cold, and eventually burning set pieces for warmth. 
Nevertheless, it paid off, and the Evil Dead franchise took off in a big way, becoming not just a horror icon but really a facet of modern pop culture.
