watching heartbreak high and i refuse to believe aussie slang is real. wtf is a gronk. what’s ‘gacked’? ‘chook’? ‘root’ meaning ‘shag’??? your version of chavs unironically speak in pig latin and use ‘brah’ like it’s some kind of 50s posh boarding school ?????

i used to think ‘mate’ and ‘naur’ were stereotypes. you straight up talk like that?!

you’d think that in a symbiotic relationship between an amnesiac eldritch entity and a hardy 1930s private investigator it’d be obvious which one of the two regularly prevents the other from committing accidental atrocities, general recklessness and getting arrested. you’d THINK.

pickman’s model cabinet of curiosities most accurate true to the source material lovecraft adaptation of the 21st century. keith thomas thank you for my life! we got ghouls. the elder sign. miskatonic university and arkham. lavinia whateley. iä yog-sothoth chants. shub painting. pickman’s pictures moving and shifting in horrible ways to convey the terror that will experiences from seeing them on screen. eyes that bleed from what they’ve seen. ‘the darkness’ as a queer allegory along with the corrupting force of art, believe it or not, in the hannigram or loustat vein of things (‘do you feel it, Will? the fear?’ that’s how you subtext! plus, death as a sort of artistic medium) richard picking the mystical other world and getting dragged into the well. will shooting richard as the ultimate noble betrayal; choosing his family over art, over his ‘mentor’ and ‘friend’, over the macabre reality he glimpsed, only to be faced with it twice as harsh upon return. because you can’t turn a blind eye or run or hide from the truth when it’s already gotten to you. everything i love the mythos for, it’s all present here, goddamn

placebo is the most underrated overrated alternative band . how do they have hundreds of millions of streams but never included in that radiohead smashing pumpkins sonic youth type lists of trendy nineties un-indierock bands honestly tumblr should go wild over brian molko his gothic androgyny the edgy tongue in cheek poetic lyrics the industrial-ish but britpop overtones of the music and yet nobody ever talks about placebo

arrival 2016 is like. here is a story where the end is the beginning. here is a story in which the tale finishes before it starts. here is a story where the outcomes are predetermined. here is a story in which you must follow the tracks, and trying to veer off will only bend them in your direction. here is a story where the words you will write have been pre-transcribed, where the innocent questions your child asks have been pre-recorded, ready for playback to trigger recall and propel you into action. here is a story where your memory is a tool. where your memory is weaponised. where the tool is the weapon and the gift and you are all three in one.

here is the story, laid bare upon the glass, and, despite all evidence to the contrary, that story is not a tragedy.

i’ve only had time to listen to one episode of cole weaver’s tiny terrors offline story exchange podcast today but based on what i’ve gathered from the descriptions and the meta identities of the characters (‘podcasters’) and the fact that one of the recurring characters is voiced by mike lebeau and jonny sims shows up as ‘donny sums’ and this code

and what the tiny terrors twitter has been posting all through today

and this fan tweet that the creator literally rted

so i think we all should listen to these and add them into the theory blender before we press the start button. there’s not many eps and it only began a couple of weeks ago and it averages 10 mins per episode. but there’s something up with it, that’s for sure

if anyone needed further proof, the latest episode is interviewing an ‘anonymous professor’ on the topic of egregores. you know. entities that feed off the belief (or fear) that people place in their existence. entities that come into reality by virtue of people believing they are real. or being afraid of them becoming real

thinking about jonny’s diary entry from today where he mentions his compulsive need to write everything in the diary. love it when horror protags realise they might not make it out, so they become paranoiacally obsessed with recording all that happens to them. everything. not a single word missed — because they think it’s for posterity, as proof of the reality of their circumstances, as warning for those in the future unfortunate enough to require that warning. but in all honesty? it’s for the audience. we are the ones benefitting from the recording. we are beholding it from the safety of our screens
