100 yards from my house

Kenley st became Kenley walk

Wilsham Street, W11

Charles Booth’s poverty map 1898 placed the Kensington Potteries among the "criminal and irreclaimable areas", largely on account of the overcrowded condition of its unsuitable and derelict houses.

Five short streets in the district became known as the "Special Area.": Bangor Street, Crescent Street and three roads that have been renamed. St. Clement’s, now called Sirdar Road, St Katherine’s Road, now Wilsham Street, and William, now Kenley Street.

New Horror 2023 - Day 31

"Why are you in such a hurry to be old?"

"Bloodchild" by Octavia Butler (1984)

Doesn't take much to just roll with it, does it?

💀💀💀

"So, who d'you want done?"

"Fair Ground" by Jo Duffy, Mike Manley, Jackson Guice, James Fry, Kevin Cunningham (1992)

Something always catches up.

💀💀💀

"We could've helped that child."

Bedevil dir. Tracey Moffatt (1993)

We need more surreal expressionism in set design. That alone lends a movie those spooky vibes.

💀💀💀

"This one's gonna make you have to change your chonies."

Regular Show - "Terror Tales of the Park" I-VI (2011-2016)

I've never watched a regular episode of Regular Show, but I get the sense that the Halloween specials aren't all that out of the ordinary.

💀💀💀

"Oh, you know kids. Still missin'."

The Simpsons - "Treehouse of Horror Presents: Not It" (2022)

Hm, sticking too close to the source material is a longtime problem with their parodies, and this one certainly suffers for it.

💀💀💀

"C’mon, how powerful could a god from a dump like this be?"

Silent Hill 3 dev. Konami (2003)

The first half kind of drags before it finally gets to the titular setting, then it's surreal melty wall terror. That makes up for the slow start and cements it as another great entry. I'll be back for the next one in 2024.

💀💀💀

"So, just be aware, the characters do tend to wander a bit."

Five Nights at Freddy's dev. Scott Cawthon (2014)

I always avoided this one because the jumpscare gameplay wasn't for me, but I figured I had to at least see the first one through to the end. I don't know that I can recommend it what with Cawthon's problematic nonsense, but it's an interesting product from an indie dev of the time.

Rose was surprised to see that none of the babies had her green skin. Octavia was the spitting image of her father. Nicolas on the other hand didn't resemble any of his parents so far. Rose asked herself if that was how she would look like, should she ever decide to quit being a plantsim.

continued from here // @felteverywhere

“Yeah, and guess what? It’s one of the only things I’m good at too.” Drew grew up in such chaos and hadn’t been able to do anything about it. No, their older siblings took care of everything. Now that Drew was an adult they were free to take care of others, finally, and they took every opportunity to do so. “Let me in, Octavia. Please.”

#hope it's cool that I moved it to a fresh post!#the reply is great btw #thank you!#drew hill ; interactions #felteverywhere #{drew & octavia}#add to tracker

you can argue to the sun with me on this but helo being so alike to st/eve tre/vor to the point where helo WOULD SAY THE QUOTE to one of the main canon characters:

“they don’t deserve our help.” H: “it’s not about deserve! it’s not - maybe we don’t! but.. it’s not about that. its not about deserve. it’s about what you believe.”

#ooc.#i can *gesture loudly* this to clarke; bellamy; octavia; jasper; etc.#also i love that helo would also lump himself into whoever the character means by ''they.''#like yeah helo knows that maybe he; also; doesn't DESERVE help or really anything.#but helping others and saving lives goes behind deserve; at least to him.#and i will die on that hill.
