#and honestly scary

[herd-reject-arts]

So I'm leaving work and something darts in front of me, maybe 10ft away, too fast for me to see what it is. Peek around the tree blocking my path and I see this

Just like... a whole ass hawk. Dude's gotta be about 1.5ft tall. Massive fucking bird. And it's just staring me straight in my soul like this, even as I try to move ahead. It didn't budge. And there's only this path back to my car unless I want to walk on a busy highway. So I have the option of Death By Raptor or Death By Truck.

So I walk in the poison ivy filled patch off the sidewalk. Guy still isn't moving. Still staring me directly in the eyes. And I do this thing when animals are behaving strangely where I'll talk to them, so I'm just like, "Hey, man. I don't know you. You don't know me. This feels really threatening. I'm just trying to get to my car, dude. Can I get some space please? You're a big fucking bird. I see those claws. You could kill me right now, but I'd appreciate if you didn't, ok?"

It didn't move until I was about 2ft away. Again: I'm as far from it as I can be without walking into the street. It clearly wasn't going to budge. I walk past, thing flies up (silent, btw. Scary) and lands on a brick wall a little further ahead

Anyway. Weird guy. Nearly shit my pants when I noticed a bird big enough to carry off a fully grown cat was just... there, staring me in the face, unwilling to move away from me, a human, something it should see as a threat. I watched behind me the whole rest of the way to my car, just in case this bird decided to help me shed this mortal coil. 10/10 experience. Super cool guy.

#not vc sorry #bird #birds #aves #raptor #hawk #red shouldered hawk #i think. might be wrong on that id #accipitriformes #birds of prey #honestly a really cool guy so close up #I'm happy i wasn't attacked. i would not want to fight a guy that big. #talons on this bird were huge. big scary. #I've never heard of large predatory birds just landing in front of people like that so i don't know what gives #it didn't catch any food or anything. just landed near me then stared me down. #I don't know a lot about bird behavior so i tried to not look back at it but still. #it also didn't look injured. seemed like a healthy bird #if anyone has any idea why this thing would act the way it did I'd love to know

everybody wants to talk about how tragic the ascended astarion or failed durge ending is, nobody wants to talk about how deeply fucked up the ending for an illithid tav who romanced wyll is like..."i know i asked you to marry me and i know you said we'd be together forever no matter what and i know you loved and supported me after i was also transformed into a hideous, feared and misunderstood creature but um. this is a bad look for me so how about i just keep you bricked up in my basement? oh yeah i totally promise i'll feed you and look after you, i totally promise i'll dance with you again sometimes, yeah don't worry about that, you can be my little secret..."

like what sort of jane eyre bertha mason 'tell me about the rabbits, george' hell is that!!!!!! that's not a happy ending that's setting the scene for environmental story telling 100 years down the line when the latest plucky adventurer plunders the duke's secret basement and finds a dead mind flayer mummified in a luxuriously furnished bricked up room gripping a diary where they extensively detail seeing their love less and less until finally no-one comes any more and they're forced to wonder whether something's happened to wyll or if they've been deliberately forsaken, the duke's secret shame left to wither away out of sight and out of mind...

#bg3 #baldur's gate 3 spoilers #baldur's gate 3 #honestly i love it i love bad endings i love scary endings i love being emotionally tortured!!! #honestly its the most interesting thing abt romancing wyll

How so-called "Died and came back wrong" fans look when real zombie horror comes at them:

if more zombie horror focused more on the "died and came back wrong" aspect and less on jumpscares and guys in halloween makeup screaming and biting people and jerking the camera around i would enjoy them more

#like there are good zombie horror films. but most popular interpretations of them are boring. #when they focus on stuff like the fact that its easy to be caught off guard by zombies because they used to be living people #or the act of having to execute an infected loved one. theyre good! #but in my experience most zombie horror is just augh fuck the scary creature is at. the fridge #honestly its disappointing how often zombie horror drops the ball on considering the humanity of the zombies #and how that would affect the survivors fighting them

For how tender and domestic (and “quiet and romantic”) the new season is, there’s such an endless sense of hovering danger around the little haven of the bookshop in the present day (not to mention the flashbacks). It’s implied they’ve been left alone a few years; but it’s clear the peace is ending.

From the moment “Jim” arrives we’re never left a minute without the shadow of Heaven or Hell darkening the doorstep of the bookshop and their safety, until the night the last-ditch dance to hold Heaven off turns into Hell coming over the threshold. They’re not left to peace. They’re not allowed to find their human happiness — not via the dance nor even by their one big kiss — not so long as Heaven and Hell want them gone. Not so long as their love stands as the threat to Eternity that it is.

That’s the only way I can make any sense of Aziraphale’s return to Heaven. They never left him alone, and for all he seemed sure of himself in helping Jim hide from them, and wooing Crowley amidst their invasions, and even refusing the Metatron at first — he must have felt the end approaching. He must have known that whatever was done to Jim could be done to him too.

He could lose himself. He could lose his capacity to protect Crowley, or Soho and the humans he loved. He could lose all memory of what had been so precious to him, worth defying Heaven for, and why he was on Earth, and who he could trust, and why.

Others have pointed out how determinedly he ignores Crowley’s fear amid the dancing. I think — I hope — that it’s not that he doesn’t want to hear him. It’s that he is pushing back his own fear to reach for happiness; it’s that he needs so badly to let him know he loves him, before it’s too late. He needs to have a moment’s romance. He knows “too late” is coming.

And then it’s there.

And still when Heaven offers him a way to dodge the doom they bring, he refuses point blank until they promise he can buy Crowley’s safety by his surrender. (And it is a surrender, for all he says he believes he’ll be in charge. Within moments of losing Crowley he’s giving the Metatron the same fake smiles and feigned agreement he’s always offered Heaven. He’s leashed again.) He wants their safety, he wants it unassailable, and I hope that’s the first reason he went back. (I don’t imagine the promise of their approval meant nothing to him. I think he wants their power and their praise. But I don’t believe it was what he wanted first.)

He’s just watched their haven (our shop!) invaded by Hell, and then by Heaven, and then watched two traitors in love, the heads of their sides, driven to the far reaches of the universe under threat of being followed — that’s not the end he wants for him and Crowley. He doesn’t imagine Heaven can be as sweet for them as Earth; but he believes their days on Earth are numbered. I think having watched their refuge breached so easily has had the same effect on him that watching it burn had on Crowley — nothing feels safe anymore; nothing feels permanent.

But Crowley’s reaction was “I want to spend whatever time we have left together as far away as we can get,” Aziraphale’s is “I want to invade the heart of the threat and turn it into home.” They’re so terribly brave; and they’re so in need of some humans showing them how to face down a threat together instead of running or joining it. I want to watch a replay of the airfield last stand, and the bookshop battle, but with power enough on their side to win Earth’s permanent peace.

I want Crowley and Aziraphale both to decide that even without Adam’s power or any particular prophecy or a tangible plan, they’ll take their chances on the humans’ side for good and all, and count it worth the dangers. And I want to see them win. Earth’s side has been theirs; they deserve to be sheltered and saved by it, too.

#good omens #good omens 2 #ineffable husbands #a/c #the new season is honestly so scary for how sweet it is #Jim’s situation is presented as funny but it’s also a horror story #he was so close to losing everything and never even knowing it had happened #there’s no way Aziraphale didn’t think about that happening to him

Brennan was really COMING AFTER the intrepid heroes in Fearful Symmetry. He asks most all of them their fears and just describes these brutal, psychologically devastating situations for all their characters (except Kirsten but only because oh yeah he KILLED HER).

Like Emily tries to say, oh yeah Fig’s greatest fear is seeing her friends and families hurt and Brennan’s like NAH it’s actually the fact that you believe you are putting up a charismatic front and not good enough for anyone

#it’s not necessarily scary to watch again #because I know they’ll be okay #i know what’s gonna happen #but it is so so sad to see the characters and honestly also the players so upset and scared #shit gets rough #and so many lines just HIT #no one wants to hear a bass guitar solo #ROUGH Emily #and Brennan’s you ran out of the dragon fight to Sibohan #HARSH it’s all so harsh #dimension 20 #d20 #fantasy high #intrepid heroes #the bad kids #fantasy high sophomore year #fhsy #fig faeth #gorgug thistlespring #it’s gorgug keep going #is coming up soon #I’m wearing my sweatshirt to celebrate the episode and that moment #adaine abernant #fabian seacaster #fabian aramais seacaster #Emily axford #zac oyama #sibohan Thompson #Lou Wilson #fearful symmetry

I hate, hate golden trio bashing fics. They have such a ride-and-die friendship like bro they raided a bank together then fled on a dragon they stuck together through so much — while having fights like normal friends do, but the best thing about them? They get back together. No matter what. Thus, coming out of a literal war in one piece, together; if that doesn't tell you how much they love each other then I don't know what to tell you.

#they would die for each other #they are so damn loyal to each other that it's kind of scary #and it is valid imo #like i wouldn't be surprised if they come out of the war being codependent #honestly that would be least of their worries #golden trio #hermione granger #harry potter #ron weasley #harry james potter #i can list all the things they did for each other and i will one #ill make a post on how they fucking complete each other #because they do #one isnt better than each other #they are better #and they are happier together #u dont gotta compare #the golden trio

Ideal Peter Parker getting to full on mentor Miles Morales for me is Peter, who has been keeping his identity a secret from everyone for years, giving Miles absolutely wild advice on how to hide his identity and sounding like he’s super overthinking everything

And then Miles meets like,, Nick Fury, or someone else who really wants to know Spidey’s identity, and it turns out to all be really rational advice because there are people out there going to great lengths to find out his identity

(So yeah, sorry Miles, but you are gonna have to figure out how to manufacture your own spray paint if you wanna use any as Spidey because they will try to use that to figure out who you are)

#I like picturing Nick Fury the most #not only cause it’s funny to imagine Peter in his homemade costume evading someone who should be the most likely to figure him out #but also it’s not as scary to imagine #like imagine picturing the same scenario of someone using *everything* to track down Spidey but they’re a villain who might honestly #try to kill him #way better to imagine it’s just Nick Fury who really wants to get Spidey registered as an actual hero #so he’s not just vigilanting around #but unfortunately Peter believes that the world will end and everyone he loves will be in immediate danger if anyone figures him out #because of Parker luck™️ #Spiderman #spider-man #spider man #Peter Parker #Miles Morales #Nick Fury
