#just make it so grotesque

[feline-evil]

Hiding my shirt that says 'i am not normal about narratives that imply an inanimate inhabited structure is a living breathing organism' as i walk into a board room and pitch my idea that we should make more horror revolving around living architecture

#jay talkin #I JUST. I JUST. i'm thinking about old haunted house movies that have this grimy sticky feeling to the house #where the evil is not just afflicted to wood and bricksbut eminates from it as a hatred #the house itself hates you. the voice screaming get out is born on the vocal chords of the hallway #i am also thinking about The Hotel the podcast you should all already be streaming CHOP CHOP CMON NOW #which is of course a more unique and i would say more abstract sister to this concept #(said deeply positively the concepts and horror explored make my brain ping pong rapidly) #which is another reason you should be listening because it does its own thing that i think you should listen to and discover yrself :) #(and also it is far more than this this is just a tiny SLITHER of what is explored go listen NEOW) #and i am also thinking about. drum roll please. you know whats coming. yes it could be nothing else #kitty horrorshows anatomy which is TO THIS DAY one of the best and most influential games upon me i have played #a game that pushes this concept to its core grotesque emotional fleshy pulp and runs with it #anatomy is a game that breeds in anxiety and discomfort and bleeds a sincere love in the horror it portrays #that love is something i yearn to see in horror media! it is also present in the hotel AHEM AHEM #but yes anatomy is an experience like no other that you really should experience for yourself #(glances down at my shirt) um. um ok so ill leave the board meeting now thank you for listening #dear god my pain medcin kicked in and i instantly became the worlds least normal man didnt i. WELL!!! thats all of youse problem now

Mr Bonzo reminds me of that one analog horror thing about the guy that grew into his kaiju suit and I feel like it'd be so cool if Johnny Sims and Alexander J. Newall executed it like that because that story always strikes unease in me

#mr bonzo #the magnus protocol #the magnus archives #gwendolyn bouchard #nigel dickerson #me bonzo actually makes me so scared because hes all like BONZO BONZO BONZO and im like “bro i know?” like i know who he is and he sounds #like hes made of multiple blanket looking things of meat and i just imagine him like the huggy wuggy thing #like all tall and grotesque. i bet he writhes along or drags himself along and his limbs are all disjointed. i reckon he used to be human #sized but over time he's added to himself like Jared Hopworth and hes a massive monster of a thing

#He is NOT coping with the horror of his own short lifespan and creation. #I really like how one of his eyes is covered by hair because I can draw attention to two emotions. #pathetic grotesqueness #and then the horrified desperation. #why be sad when I can draw furuta as miserable. #I felt so clever when I was making the red details on the dolls. #furuta nimura #nimura furuta #souta #kichimura washuu #I'm not tagging his siblings as technically they're not there... but those are rize arima and ihei just to be clear #MARKETABLE PLUSHIES. #my art #tokyo ghoul #tg:re #tokyo ghoul fanart

#Doodles #SCII #Helix #ZEX #Kayako #And Teisel's there technically #*Die again - he's sticking with his track record lol at least he's consistent #Ghost/Curse GF arc!! I enjoy seeing ZEX happy but I am Concerned for him lol #ZEX be attracted to something/one that won't brutally murder him challenge - difficulty impossible #His affection for the grotesque and monstrous - I mean while it's admirable he does regularly put himself in dangerous situations! #Runs solely on the Suspension Bridge Effect lol - attraction and fear so conflated in his mind <3 #I keep thinking of his human instincts as specifically Max's instincts since it's his body - Max's self-preservation and fear and hunger #Which ZEX dutifully ignores lol Max's body tells him to bolt and privately replies like ''Yes yes in a moment'' haha #His fascination wins out! To his own detriment haha #Although I say all that as though I don't relate in my own way - I have maybe just a few too many notes relating to ZEX lol #It's always been hard for me to get into horror in the way it's intended to spook and scare because I tend to get sad :') #So many monsters and ghosts and creatures are victims of circumstance!

(VUXonifies her?) Reading intention or emotion into her actions with no proof and no understanding! #The way he ''tries to read her face'' as if he hasn't been struggling with that this entire time - with other humans who can tell him so ♪ #His pride is so delicious <3 He is so easily blinded to his own shortcomings in the face of pleasure and the potential for connection! #It's no wonder DAX worries about him so much hehe ♥ #It also always makes me so happy to have something fit together so perfectly like those last two hehe <3 #That vine didn't exist when this happened!

defining will's love for hannibal as religion stands as an overpowering symbol of how will's emotions are powerful enough to mold a man into something akin to god, even with his flaws, even with his mortality, even with his own devotion to him that isn't some imprisonment or necessity or a show put up for valour or honour but formed of his own volition that itsn't driven by lust unlike so many other metaphors and so called "analogous" loves, is such strong visual and visceral representation of the human psyche omitting life outside of its own want and turning it into piety. in this essay i will...

#raj shitposting #religion is such a powerful metaphor for love that we won't ever be able to even comprehend how it fits in as a metaphor. #religion defines us. shapes our thought. makes us whole. tears us apart and builds a person based solely on itself. it give us our name. #it takes us away and gives us back as not who we are but as what we are meant to be. #it's a grotesquely selfish and imbalanced consummation between god and self. #and i say akin to god since god doesn't always give you what you ask of her. she gives you what she wants you to have. #hannibal literally survives on will's demands though. his meaning and his purpose is solely defined by will's wants. #will's selfishness- his sin is that powerful. it's like satan willing god into falling in love with him. slowly. excruciatingly. carnally. #and and and.. the way it's done through bedelia. a woman. and abigail. a child. is so so so effervescent and eloquent way to do it. #god and women being the driving forces of nature and both being a symbol of hearty manipulation and greed and power and glory. #and a child. the symbol of innocence and sincerity and purity and absence of complication. a symbol of complete and utterly pure love. #bedelia represents how hannibal chooses to express his emotions in order to woo will's monster and abigail represents what he truly feels. #just kills it. like bang on. smh iltsm #hannigram #hannibal

What are the RainDrop boys favorite forms of aftercare from both just normal cute sexy scenes and much more intense ones

I feel like it always comes back to water. I think there is nothing universally more restorative than a bath. It’s warm (or burning hot, or cool), your limbs just kind of float, it’s the kind of place where people usually (should not) interrupt you. Maybe there’s something nostalgic about it. Most of us were bathed as children. You can sit, relax, stretch. You can add things if you want, bubbles, soaks, salts, oils. I don’t really think there’s a lot of energy for much else.

Depending on who has what left in their reserves, definitely washing each others hair, brushing it, drying it. (This has nothing to do with Rain’s 11/10 obsession with Dew’s hair in Kilonova) (yes it does he’s obsessed)

And nothing really beats the feeling of clean skin sliding into clean bedding. I think they have to flip a coin regarding changing the sheets though. Because NO ONE wants to do that when they’re sleepy. Maybe they get smart and throw an extra one on top (yeahhhhh those freaky waterproof ones they had in the other thing I wrote) that is very big brained of them. They can just toss it in the laundry and go to sleep.

If they have the energy they would def sit there in bed eating snacks, getting crumbs in the bed, giggling about silly things. Maybe Rain would read to Dew from whatever he’s into that week and Dew wouldn’t listen to the words or the plot, just the sound of Rain’s voice, and fall asleep.

Alternately, if Dew has more energy, he’ll maybe play some music, maybe if Rain’s sleepy enough he’ll sing to him. Rain has to be really out of it. Because even though his voice is so pretty and soft, he is 11/10 self conscious about it. Maybe Rain pretends to be asleep just so he can hear it.

#media nocte answers #they are soft #I think they reserve every single ounce of gentleness in their body for each other #like just maybe they’re so sweet it makes some people want to vom but I do not care #the world is a terrible place and I will make them as grotesquely sweet and I love as I want to #midnight moth answers

so my family’s got the funeral on (they’re not royalists), and while i’m not watching the ceremony, i did catch bits of the procession to the abbey. and i just...

look. i knew it was gonna be ridiculous. but i didn’t expect it to feel unsettling on two different fronts.

first there’s the obscene wealth and pageantry of the crown. ordinary people had their funerals cancelled today, out of ~respect~, and all i can think about is how much time and money those people had to pay in the middle of a cost of living crisis, that will now have to be done again because of rescheduling. there are people who might not be able to attend those rescheduled funerals because they could only get time off work/school for the original date. all of these ordinary people having to make time for logistics in the midst of their grieving. meanwhile, one family gets to take precedence over everyone else, on an unimaginable scale.

it’s insane to me how many people there were for the queen’s procession. not people attending the funeral, just people following the coffin to the doors. and all of these servicemen looking like robots, everything in perfect sync, from their steps to the goddamn removal of their hats.

but then there’s also the frequent close-up shots of the coffin. and it’s like. don’t get me wrong. i have no sympathy for the woman who was an active participant in the colonialist horrors that this country inflicted on the rest of the world.

but there’s something deeply grotesque to me about her funeral being a televised spectacle. especially with how many close-ups there are of the crown on top of the coffin. really hammers home, quite unintentionally, how utterly unnatural it is to elevate one family over everyone else. millions of people stamped down, and the people at the top are reduced to symbolic objects. whichever way you look at it, humanity loses.

#uk politics #anti monarchy #i want to avoid this post becoming a giant essay but i do feel the need to add #all the adults in that family made the choice to continue benefiting from their immense privilege and power #but the kids are still so young #and that's what makes it all the more grotesque to me that it's such a spectacle #they can barely comprehend the scale of it all but their mourning cannot be private #they cannot experience their grief in a normal or natural way #and there's a dozen fucking camera angles of every expression on their faces #it's sick #everything about this it's all just so fucking sick

*shaking and crying* where is Urizen

#“monsterfucker website” they cant even handle the 20ft tall grotesque demonic half of a cambion #lowkey blame VoV for that. like I love that manga to death but god did the last chapter did not help the whole- #“V is his own person/is *the other half* of vergil (and not like. one half)” interpretation. bc then wtf was urizen for. #and tbh the game itself doesnt make it easy bc *obviously* we spend more time with V than with urizen. and then there's vergil's World of V. #and I guess its obvious both game and fans would focus more on the pretty goth bait and The Literal Best Character On All Time- #rather than mr. 1 dimentional boss fight demon but FUCK MAN now im pissed off that he is treated as unimportant- #and/or straight up forgotten that he even existed. like fuck he IS vergil's power. gone wild and without goal but he IS part of vergil #just like V is. and if V couldve “gotten his own character” during the time he was separated then why the fuck couldnt urizen? #<- sidenote I do not like the whole “V is/got his own character” thing. like no thats still vergil to me. #and yeah the last chapter of VoV fuck that up for me but im mainly of the opinion that- #if vergil exists. neither V nor urizen can. and vice-versa. #which imo SHOULD be the logical way but I guess nobody but me like urizen for what he is or represent. so its all about vergil and V #(who is STILL. FUCKING. VERGIL. TO ME. HNHNHNGNHN) #anyway whatever. #justice for urizen #tagging later

a moodboard for elisif or vyrthur? If you'd like to.

"Auri-El turned his back on me. I swore I'd have my revenge, no matter what the cost."

Arch-Curate Vyrthur moodboard

I already did an Elisif one you can find here!

#deep red blood on snow is such a vibe man #i love this one #cause making vampire moodboards is usually so dark and moody #but this one is so light and airy while still being bloody and grotesque #idk just like the snow elf aesthetic merging with the vampire aesthetic is such a vibe i kinda went off with this one lol #vyrthur #moodboard #asks #blood tw

No wonder he cares so much about the gargoyles vs grotesques distinction*. Gargoyles look intimidating but are actually benign--importantly, unknown to most people--whereas grotesques have no purpose beyond their appearance. Fearsome is all they are.

(Also I LOVE when characters purposefully, diagetically discuss their own metaphors. Both because it's interesting analytically and because it makes it clear that they are Nerds.)

*in addition to just being neurodivergent

#Insomnia replays twisted wonderland #I have so many thoughts and most of them aren't neat enough to fit into a post right now #But thinking about how he so desperately wants people to know he's not just an intimidating dragon fae (even though he's shit at saying so) #And how he tells anyone who even remotely prompts it that gargoyles help maintain the buildings they're on #And!!! #how he cares so much about being seen as a fully dimensional person #And how that's connected to him disliking grotesques #which are exactly as simple as they look #Also the fact that he never actually gets involved in protecting Ramshackle was disappointing on my first playthrough #I mean it makes sense because Yuu and co saved it in time #And also because frankly whatever he might do to Azul to keep his Spooky Hangout Spot would not be pretty #Twisted wonderland #insomnia rambles #Malleus draconia

y'all: umm... whatcha got there?

me, with the oc i created solely to ship with tweek in his older verses: nothin, mind your fucking business

#misc :: ( ooc ) #//originally i created her To Die #//to show the dangers of drugs or whatever #//just like tweek's older male love interest was created solely to be Kind Of An Asshole #//but now i'm a little attached to her :(((( #//so it might be that in older verses where tweek is not being shipped with anyone he is married to her #//in verses where he is being shipped with other muses she can die a lil. as a treat :) #//tweek: AS A TREAT?! WHAT KINDA FUCKIN TREAT IS THAT??? #//with his male love interest redd (who i named before learning there is already a sp character named red and may have to rename) #//tweek actually wasn't actually in love with him. it was a relationship of convenience. a roof over his head and good sex #//but with this one... who i am considering naming jenna/jenny or aurora/rory... he is hopelessly terribly grotesquely in love with her #//OH TO BE TWO METH ADDICTS ABSENTLY PETTING EACH OTHER WHILE MAKING FUTURE PLANS NEITHER ONE OF THEM IS SURE THEY'LL LIVE TO SEE #//in verses where she does die she gets murderalized by another addict #//tweek is passed out and doesn't learn of her death until the next day #//which is spicy and fun; we love a good dead gf trope in this house (sorry women) #//BUT ALSO I THINK THEY DESERVE TO BE SOBER AND MARRIED WITH KIDS :'( #//she is just such a ray of light and also wants to get off of meth and run away to somewhere warmer #//she's just got such a kind & giving heart and most people can't see past her addiction to get to it #//unlike redd who doesn't care and highkey enables tweek in his bad habits #//timeline-wise tweek is with redd around 20/21 #//and meets the girl around 23/24 #//or so i am thinking so far #//''vacation town'' by the front bottoms is a good song for verses where she dies and do got me fucked up

I Dont Care how overdone it is now I will always love distorted faces used for horror

#I literally dont care how many people do it sorry its still one of the things that scare me the most to this day #There is something just so grotesque and horrifying about imagining someone being distorted into something so completely different #it literally makes me sick its so good nothing else scares me this badly its such a good play on human facial recognition #i know this has all already been said i am just so passionate about it because its the first thing that genuinely horrified me in years #<- when it comes to online horror i mean #even if they look a little funny even if you can tell theyre edited. I Dont care #You guys have no idea how fucking scared i felt first watching the walten files it changed my life forever #And I LIKE that its becoming a genre now. I LIKE it. #txt

just remembered an extremely old oc. girl i have great plans for you

#rambles #she was my mary sue kid icarus uprising oc protagonist girl angel when i first made her #and then i just left her there and never did anything with her #but honestly? honestly. i can remake her. i can make her better #im plopping her down in my oc world #current initial idea i have is that everyones an anthro so i get to be funkier with designs #im not great at designing clothes so having all the characters be humans is like making 'guy with the shittiest closet number 69' #with that in mind. angel will be the only character with a human face and shes going to be all ~angelic~ or whatever #that was her initial idea anyways back in 2015 where she looks a lot like some pretty woman with wings #anyways shes like an anglerfish where she will lead you to your death #go girl lure people away and feast on their flesh #i think she'll have an alternate form thats more grotesque #not her true form. i dont think she has one. but its not the angelic illusion she often wears #but yeah i like the idea of repurposing this 'girl who can do no wrong' oc into something that you dont want to encounter #also she has a twin but im not sure what to do with that twin. might scrap her. woops #oh what if i repurpose her twin into being some sort of Creature Hunter #wait wasnt that one of fen & rey's scrapped dynamics #well they dont have that anymore since i've made rey less of a monster creature and more of a human who fucked up badly #but the monster rey ideas were cool... i could reuse that on a different character
