Fuck yeah new animated Junji Ito series is up on Netflix!!! I'm so excited! It doesn't even have to be a good adaptation of his work, I am fucking stoked.

All the warmth and familiarity of a comfort movie, while also being upsetting in this indescribable soul-deep way that nothing else ever is! I know exactly where I am!! It's nice. 😌🥰🐌🐚🦻🩸💉🔪☠🙀👾🧟‍♂️🦈🍭🩺🪦

#I found every spiral pattern I could Within the Emoji board #the rest are references to other stories of his #junji ito #original #horror #Uzumaki #for anyone not familiar he's the best horror artist maybe ever and he's a sweet mild-mannered middle-aged dude with an upbeat personality #I don't understand why his work is so upsetting. because it is. it is so fucking scary. #I don't understand how he does it and I've been trying to figure it out for years. as an artist I want to know how. #I'm a good artist but I can't even copy his work to the same effect #apparently the man used to work in dentistry and also doll making. which explains a lot. but not enough. #I find his work oddly comforting because I have read so much of it that I am familiar with the themes and limits of his work #it is deeply disturbing but almost never has anything to do with my real life triggers so I can maintain a safe distance and find catharsis
