homunculus facts¡

at this festive time of year' it pays to remember that as a virgin birth' jesus legally counts as a sub·form of homunculus• but that,s between the persons of the trinity to sort out not me•

master recently altered his recipe to produce a large batch of gingerbread homunculi• there was a bloody uprising and now most of them are part of a house decorated with candies•

i sledded down a snowy hill yesterday in a cauldron• it was as fun as you would imagine• (⁠✷⁠‿⁠✷⁠)

rumor has it that a new movie planned by the disney company will be cast entirely from a pool of acting homunculi to reduce labor costs• i,d believe it• we,re cheaper than union labor• you just have to commit sins against life itself' which is no barrier to the mouse•

@numamazza is a good cousin and will eat gnomes for me•

one of the new gingerbread homunculi could type with capital letters and regular punctuation• that scares me' i,m glad he,s dead• (ŏ⁠﹏⁠ŏ⁠)

You all know this meme:

Good meme. Funny. Everyone laugh.

Quick question real quick

One of these molecules is the primary ingredient in Wood, which in turn is one of the primary ingredients in both Trees and Houses.

The other molecule is what your cells and metabolism run on. It’s what your muscles and brain need to run.

Quick question real quick can you tell them apart do you see any difference between the two just asking you know

As a bridge between my Hansel and Gretel posts, and my future "Spooky season fairytales" posts, I want to talk here about one of the monuments of modern American horror: Stephen King's IT. The novel specifically - not the two movie adaptations.

I often say that "It" has both the absolute best and the absolute worst of Stephen King's writing in the first part of his career, because King manages to show all the reasons he was adored as a horror writer, while all of his flaws as a writer are exaggerated to massive degrees (which is probably because of his heavy use of drugs at the time - many people have pointed out IT is the typical kind of story writers tend to come up with when under the influence of products such as cocaine - very long, convoluted, excessive in the details, pushing forward weird sex...). This book is the ultimate synthesis of King's writing, for the best and the worst, with genial ideas on one page and despicable things on the next. The fact that it was adapted twice as successful horror cinematic pieces show that there is there the material for a great horror story - but in its literary form it is unfortunately buried under too many things that could have been trimmed down or that should have been better thought about before being put to page.

But if I am talking about it today, it is because "It" is actually closely tied to fairytales. It isn't obvious at first, since it deals with a group of children fighting a shapeshifting monster in their little town, a monster that takes the shape of 30s-50s horror movie monsters ; then the fight with the monster becomes a more social and psychological form of horror, as it reflects the children's own dysfunctional family units and a widespread corruption and evil in their town's very working ; and finally we go even further than a reflection on abuse and discrimination to enter an insane and trippy eldritch, cosmic horror domain.

However the fairytale themes and motifs are definitively here. The titular monster "It", is a shapeshifting creature that feeds of children by turning into their worst fears (his most famous appearance, "Pennywise the Dancing Clown", being merely a kind lure and a sort of "basis" form for the creature before it takes a "killing" form) - and thus mirrors so many child-eating antagonists of fairytales. The children themselves undergo a quest that has fairytale motifs, as they need to go fight the monster in the depths of its lair using child-logic magic, and after horrible trials they finally reach a happy end... Though this is all quite thin, true. Things get a bit more obvious when you look at the various "forms" and "appearances" the monster takes to track its victims. There is a recurrence of him becoming a werewolf to devour children - evoking the Big Bad Wolf. At one point, It creates a persona by mixing together a giant statue of Paul Bunnian and the giant from "Jack the Giant Killer". Finally, the first appearances of Pennywise in the book, all taking place under a bridge (three times in a row), were explicitly made to evoke the tale of "The Three Billy Goats Gruff", replacing the troll with a man-eating clown - in fact the Three Billy Goats Gruff was the ACTUAL starting point of the project in King's mind.

And finally, during one memorable scene, It actually explicitely takes the shape of the witch from "Hansel and Gretel" to terrify its victim. This scene always stuck out with me when I read the book, and King truly manages to weave a terrifying scene using the fairytale as Pennywise's weapon.

I will post the scene in question here in case you want to read it without reading the book. However I will do it in a reblog since there's a limit to how big a text post can be. The scene was adapted in both visual adaptations of "It", however in both cases the Hansel and Gretel material was removed, meaning you can only get the fairytale connection by reading the original scene.

As for the context of the scene: the group of protagonists, who battled and defeated It in their childhood, return as adults to their hometown, each seeking leftovers of their past, only for Pennywise to threaten them in various ways. This precise scene follows Beverly Marsh, a little girl that was abused by her father - physically abused, and almost sexually, given her father seems to have had borderline incestuous intentions. Now an adult, she decides to return to her old flat, and she prepares herself to face her aged father for the first time since decades. Only for her to find a nice old lady in his place...

I cannot wait until I have a house that I can be festive in. I can bake holiday-themed desserts and decorate and have late nights watching the horror movies or Christmas movies and start new traditions and have someone to do it all with.

#the longing all started when I saw that they make Halloween houses like gingerbread houses #and I want to build one #while I put on a classic horror movie with my s/o #rambling on

that steven brule bit where he’s with another doctor explaining nutrition to the viewers and he keeps going “i know. im a doctor too” but its me watching a youtube video of an architect breaking down famous haunted houses and explaining shit like what a widows walk is

#joefferry was like ‘NOT EVERYBODY ALREADY HAS ENCYCLOPEDIC KNOWLEDGE OF HORROR SETS AND VICTORIAN ARCHITECTURE’ #ok…..? sounds like a them problem #the dude was like ‘yeah and this really ornate embellishment around the trim of victorian houses is called Gingerbreading’ and i was like. #Yeah Duh

Spending Winter Break/Christmas with Riize Headcanons

Merry Christmas Eve Briizes 😛

Warnings : None

More Under The Cut !!

Shotaro:

Takes you on a holiday vacation back to his birth place Kanagawa!!! and spend some time in Shibuya as well

Rents out a beautiful mini house for you and him to stay in together during the vacation, it would be too cute and have a nice view

Perhaps even coming with a personal onsen

Would take you to multiple winter festivals and winter firework shows buying you whatever treats and charms you’d like

PICTURE TIMEEEE does whatever to make the pics perfect with the right ambience

When Christmas finally hits you two would finally exchange gifts I like to think he’d get you a nice bracelet since I’ve seen him wear his own a couple times :))

MORE PICTURES .

Eunseok

I see a chill but memorable Christmas with him, you two doing cute activities like building gingerbread houses and making ornaments

definitely not laughing at how your gingerbread house looks (he is AND is taking pics to show the gc) but helps you fix it after 😭

Once you both finish building the gingerbread house he’d just hold your hand and feed you the left over candy and gingerbread

he loves horror movies so he’d probably would want to watch a Christmas based horror movie instead of just a regular one like Krampus or something

pretends to not care about you wanting to stay up Christmas Eve but will keep slightly shaking you awake once you start dosing off before the clock hits 12

Randomly took your hair and adds a christmas themed ribbon to it (when he did it, you have no clue)

Sungchan

drives you around to look at the pretty lights and attractions Christmas Eve, even letting you get out the car and take pictures together at certain winter attractions

gives you a gift a day early because he can’t help but show you one of the things he got you already (a nice little necklace with your initial mayhaps)

doesn’t let you show him his gift early because shhh the Christmas spirit 🤫 but then caves in letting you tell him what you got him

takes you (his pretty luh lady) out for a nice dinner at one of your favorite restaurants to eat at

gets you two the picture worthy seasonal christmas deserts once you two are done eating the main course even sharing some of his with you

Insta posts dedicated to spending the holidays with you once you two’s day is through of course

Wonbin

Christmas shopping with him for days upon days upon days before the actual day. You two practically have a summary of what you have gotten each other 😭

would randomly ask you about your measurements and sizes over and over just to be sure the clothes + jewelry he got you is the right fit ( “Hey what’s your shoe size again.” … “Wonbin you asked this earlier.” …. “…But are you sure-” “ Yes”. )

plays you some Christmas/winter songs on his guitar when you both end up dozing off not being able to show and exchange gifts till the morning

You alr know he’s posting a Christmas photo dump showing off the jewelry/earrings you two got each other

Watches Christmas movies with you, talks about how crazy home alone is and how he’d set up the traps if he was the kid or get in the house as the burglar 😭

Seunghan

he would not budge about your present and would have you actually wait until 12am or Christmas Day morning to open it oh my god 😭 but only because it’s v special

once he realized the tradition behind mistletoes he’d order one online just to randomly lift it above you two so you can give him a little kiss FOR FREEEEEE whenever

shows you “christmas themed snack recipes” from tiktok for you two to try (it was toooo difficult and you both gave up and ordered some chicken in)

I can’t get over the gamer Seunghan agenda he’d most def show you all the Christmas themed skins he got recently (maybe even bought you some skins if you play the same games)

once it’s finally 12 he’d finally show you your gift and he’d probably give something super personal that he’d know only you’d want to have

Sohee

KARAOKEEEEE bye you two would be swinging together singing alll the Christmas songs even the corny ones that you’d hear in the mall/ads

you two would probably play music the entire day in general, not just holiday hits but you two’s favorite songs as well and would just sing and dance together

sohee has said before he thinks it’s funny to give someone a useless gift so he’d probably have one gift that’s just a random strange item for jokes

BUT ofc he’d have an actual meaningful gift for you (but he’s most definitely giving you the useless one first just to see your reaction)

would have you two go out in hoodies + comfy clothes to get some small little deserts for you guys to eat Christmas Day at a mini mart

Anton

we already know Anton is always online and always planning so he’d have a bunch of ideas and once again an itinerary of what you guys will do this christmas break

SIGHT SEEING ! maybe he’d take you home to jersey to walk through certain streets and plazas to see the lights and snowmen holding hands, If you got too cold (because it can get cold as hell in jersey 😭) he’d bring an extra thicker jacket in his tote bag just in case + let you keep your hand in his coat pocket

MATCHING/COORDINATING CHRISTMAS PAJAMAS he’d have you guys make Christmas tiktoks to keep for himself to watch whenever you two are apart

make a snowman and snow angels with him ommlll it’d be funny how large his angel would be in comparison to yours 😭

depending on how longgg you two have been together he might even take you to meet the fam in jersey and spend the holidays with them too

the gift he’d have for you would be so expensive and would be something that he remembered being associated with your favorite things + hobbies

[headcannonsandchaos]

Y'know how if you're in America rn you're probably freezing your ass off? Well, here's some little slasher headcannons in the snow.

Includes:

Fluff, nsfw, suggested cockwarming

Bubba Sawyer:

Yall are definitely making snow cream. Snow is a commodity in the south, and snow cream is too good to pass up. You grab the biggest bowls in the house and go collect whatever untouched top layer snow you can. After you get done making it, you cuddle up together on the couch, wrap up in blankets, and watch cartoons. Yall sit there together until both of you finish your frozen treats, and then yall make some hot coco to drink until it's time to go to bed. Bubba will gather all the extra blankets that no one else has claimed to make a little nest on the bed, and when he thinks it's sufficient, he'll gently pick you up and lay you in the middle. Then he piles the rest of the blankets on you. When he's sure the bed is as warm as it can be, he'll lift up the blankets and climb in with you. He'll pull you close and pepper you in kisses until you fall asleep.

Billy Lemz:

You and Billy would be cuddling on the couch wearing the matching the pajamas you convinced him to put on, watching the new Christmas movie you've been dying to see, and Billy, being Billy, would start to get needy. He would gently rut against you, trying to go unnoticed, but his whines were too loud to not hear. You turn towards him, give him a little kiss on his cheek, wipe his drool, and reassure him that it's ok. He would immediately pick up his pace and get louder. He would pull you closer and start spewing filth into your ear between his moans. God, his words always got you. He started sloppily kissing and sucking on your neck, needing his mouth to be busy while he chased his high. It didn't take long for him to finish. He squeezed you tightly as he slowed his movements, coming down from his high. You scatter gentle kisses across his face while whispering praises. This, however, seemed to be counterintuitive. You could feel him starting to come back alive. You weren't even halfway through the movie, and you really wanted to finish it. You decided to try something new. You told him that if he could sit in you without moving for the entire movie, then he could do whatever he wanted when it was over. So, that's what you did. He slowly slid down his pants, and you yours. You hovered over his lap. You slowly sunk down onto his leaky member. He whined and lightly bit the back of your neck when your thighs hit his lap. He wrapped his arm around your waist and forced himself not to move. Surprisingly, he was able to go the whole movie with only a little bit of moving. You decided he had been a good boy and told him he could have his reward. He immediately started thrusting into. That's how the rest of your night went. Different places, different positions, all around the house. When Billy was done, you were both exhausted and covered in sweat and eachothers fluids. Billy pulled you against his chest and sloppily kissed your forehead. He whispered sweet nothings in your ear until he fell asleep.

Billy and Stu:

-yall are watching Krampus obv

-all of the cuddles

-so many snacks. Junkfood central

-yall have a gingerbread house competition

-Stu's was a hot frosting mess

-Your's kept falling down

-Billy's was amazing

-he won, obv

-until you and stu sabotaged it

-Billy got mad and chased you and Stu around the house until yall couldn't stop laughing.

-yall fell to the ground in a heap together, trying to catch your breaths

-yall made hot coco and watched yalls favorite horror movies until you all fell asleep together on the couch

Jason:

-he absolutely LOVES the snow. It remind him of Christmas time.

-yall WILL watch hallmark movies, but also Christmas cartoons

-So.Much.Cuddling

-Ice skating on the lake

-He's scared at first, but you take his hand, and look him in the eyes, and he feels so loved.

-so many snow angels and snowmen are made

-probably a snow fort to tbh

-hes a child at heart

-yall come in when the sun starts to set to warm up and take a shower

-when yall are clean, you go back outside for a bombfire

-yall skt beside eachother on a log

-yall make s'mores and hotdogs

-when the night is over you go back inside and cuddle in the bed, talking about everything and nothing, until you falk asleep in eachothers arms

I started getting tired after Billy lol. Might do more l8r

[thestuffedalligator]

Bricks of gingerbread were laid with layers of icing for mortar. Caramel coloured light gleamed through sugar glass windows.

The gingerbread… things stumbled through the kitchen on legs unused to walking. They leaned on each other, gingerbread hands on gingerbread shoulders, each about the height of a child.

Ethel Muckwillow, witch, stared at them in unmasked horror.

Agnes Blacktreacle said: “-And there I found them in the woods, starved to death, dead as a doornail. Well, I couldn’t leave that alone, otherwise people in the village would accuse me of something!”

She poured a spoonful of sugar into her tea and carefully lifted her cup when one of the things stumbled and slammed its gingerbread head into the table with a thunk and a sticky groan. “And I thought, I have all these baking supplies from when I made the house, so why not make some replacements?” she said, pouring another spoonful of sugar. “I whipped them up in about a day – once they figure out walking, I’ll send them back home, and nobody will be none the wiser.”

The gingerbread boy – or at least, the gingerbread thing decorated with icing to look like boy’s clothes and a glob of buttercream teased into a vaguely masculine hairstyle – held its head and groaned. The gingerbread thing with long, dark, marzipan hair twisted the hem of its gingerbread skirt nervously. It looked up at Agnes and opened its mouth to reveal a tongue made of a glacé cherry.

It said: “Aaaghlaglaglagglegglgl.”

Agnes clucked her tongue and got up to fuss over the gingerbread boy. She was wearing a frilly apron on top of the standard witching uniform. It didn't go well with the look at all.

Ethel Muckwillow stared at her fellow witch. Agnes had a tendency to go too far with these kinds of things, and it was just possible that this may have been too far even for her.

“Gingerbread changelings,” she said.

Agnes looked up from pressing a marshmallow bandage to the gingerbread boy’s forehead and beamed. “Gingelings, if you will,” she said.

“I won’t,” Ethel said. “They were sent into the woods because they and their parents were starving, and you will be sending them back a pair of giant gingerbread changelings.”

“Yes?”

Ethel waited for the penny to drop. It didn’t.

“Aggie,” she said. “They’re going to eat them.”

Agnes gasped and clasped her hands over the gingerbread things’ ears. “They wouldn’t!”

“They’re starving peasants and you’re going to deliver them a walking, talking Christmas dessert.”

Agnes looked at Ethel. She looked at the gingerbread things. She sagged. “Damn,” she muttered.

“Sorry.”

“What if — what if I made a fondant? I could try to hide the gingerbread with a fondant.”

Ethel looked at the gingerbread things. They stared back with gleaming, beady, currant eyes. The gingerbread girl had started to chew on its marzipan hair.

“No,” she said. “I don’t think that would help.”
