trent alexander arnold the type of boyfriend to be so insanely competitive that he can't physically let you win anything even though he wants to so badly ... you're out at a game of pool and for the entire round he's been purposely flunking shots but you're one ball away from winning and he's just had enough and sinks all of his in one round - but then feels so bad after he cant even bring himself to rub it in ur face

#i love him sm #idk pool has been on my mind a lot lately bc i met this guy the other night at a pool place and he was sort of really sweet AAA #just the atmosphere too #trent alexander arnold #purinfelix #jet rambles 𖦹

The Invocations

YA paranormal/horror

about three girls:

a rich girl with demon deals gone wrong and attached to her, slowly rotting her away

a girl whose sister died and is researching the occult, desperate to bring her back,

and a witch raised in the woods by a demon, who might be able to help them both, while they all figure out who is killing her former clients

(I wouldn’t say it feels especially white feminismy - #I just always like to consider that since witchhunting type narratives are often portrayed as purely a misogyny thing…) #I like the cover a lot especially the smoke. but why is jude not more masc lol

sonicexe is endlessly fascinating to me like i can't even pretend it doesn't captivate me (for the wrong reasons obviously). it's not even a creepy genesis game it's a windows executable. somehow sonic is evil and fucked up and his eyes are hyper realistic and filled with blood and depending on the interpretation this is just sonic now or it's something else that just looks like sonic. he wants his friends dead so bad please launch the funny exe and let him commit murder and atrocities. sometimes sally acorn is there for some reason which is just goofy to me im sorry but a character from one of the very, aesthetically interesting 90s cartoons in something trying to look like a genesis game is really funny to me. is the appeal sonic being fucked up or even edgier than he's ever allowed to be? it certainly isn't the supposedly haunted game judging by what kids have done with this idea in the more recent years. the creepypasta though iconic is written like dogshit and falls into every single video game creepypasta trope available and the fangames are not that great either. we also already have an evil and fucked up sonic that is a computer program he's called metal sonic and he's been here since the 90s and is from one of the most creepypasta-coded sonic games you'll ever play. what is this little guy's deal and is anyone utilizing him in cool and interesting ways or am i the only one even entertaining that option

#soda offers you a can #ok tbf my sonic unfiction idea revolves around a dev copy of cd and the focus is not on blood-covered sonic #but rather a deep sense of care built into the levels enemies and atmosphere itself #which was build by someone for a very specific person and there's a chance neither of them are here anymore #and you're staring at something so haunted and so ghostly #and sonic is just sort of there as your vessel of investigation #but my point remains you could probably do something fun with sonicexe that people aren't really doing i don't think

finally watched alien 👍 loved it

#super intense yet surprisingly not scary (for me) #obviously the situation they're in IS terrifying im just saying i wasn't shivering while watching it. definitely a tight atmosphere tho #didn't expect there to be an alien of sorts other than the xenomorph. iykyk #i love the ship's interior design... and the alien facility or cave or whatever that was #it's all so complicated and detailed... YAY TO BUTTONS AND CLUTTERED SPACES ❤️ #now my main concern was the cat. why was it on the ship in the first place... #also ripley was hot. hellooooo #anyway that was a super captivating ride and i'm glad i finally got to experience it. great movie #quacks

oh I must reshare my zelink playlist because I have perfected it! it is so vibey, haunting, beautiful

#this is QUITE atmospheric. took me forever to find the perfect feel for them #sort of ethereal and timeless.... #zelink #nor's rambles #if anybody wants a playlist for anything i'm willing to make one.... it's such a nice hobby

if my username has not made it blindingly obvious, i love maglor. i love him a lot. sad beach cryptid makes my brain go brrrrr

realistically, i dont think he can, or will, ever go home. for a pile of reasons, beginning with all the murders and ending with "the home of his childhood died with finwë and the trees and he literally can never go back". i don't like "realistically"

the silmarillion is fundamentally a tragedy. it's about inevitability, and consequence, and exactly how FAR it's possible for a person to fall. which is why, of course, he did not go back to aman at the end of the first age, not even to stand trial. a trial may have ended in a redemption of sorts for him and that is not what the story is. but. that's the silmarillion

fundamentally, the lord of the rings is about hope. mercy. the love of all living things and the desire to preserve their freedoms. and that is why i have read dozens, and would read hundreds more, of stories about elrond, or his sons, or arwen and aragorn, or samwise gamgee, or daeron or celeborn or random mannish fishermen, or or or— coming across him, choosing mercy, and giving him a chance to become something new. i want it so badly. i hate the idea of him frozen in time as a relic and reminder of the tragedies of the first age, forever and ever, always. but honestly... that desire isn't really about him even if he has been my favorite since i first tried to read the silmarillion at age seventeen, gave up three pages into the ainulindale, and read the wiki instead. giving second chances to people who may or may not deserve them is kind of what people in this story DO. it suits the theme. as much as it would have been a betrayal of the silmarillion's themes for that to have occurred then, it would be equally a betrayal of the lord of the rings' themes if they came across him in the later age(s) and DIDN'T offer.

but beyond that, it makes me so goddamn SAD to imagine him fading into nothing more than a voice on the breeze. i literally cannot tolerate the thought, it physically hurts my heart. (so maybe it is a little about him, actually)

"realistically" is a state of hopelessness and stagnancy, and i'm tired of that. i want wild, unfettered, reckless hope. i want the fourth age to be the age of healing, for everyone. maybe he can't ever go "home". but he can go forward. they can all go forward.

#silm meta #silmarillion #lotr #lord of the rings #maglor #listen i know this isnt my usual sort of post because ive unitentionally cultivated a 'moderately popular shitposts' atmosphere #but i think about this a lot #and it is actually very important to me that if they found him they would try to help #sometimes forgiveness and mercy have fckall to do with the recipient and everything to do with the person offering it #and i dont WANT to see a valinor where no one can let go of their old grudges or anger or hatred no matter how hard earned

oh, so. so

Jacob sniffs the air like a little puppy

Eve says 'there's a bird on you'

and there is a bird on him

and I laugh more than I've ever laughed at anything in my life?

that's how it's gonna be? okay. okay okay okay.

#maybe it's the tiredness (is that a word? if it is it shouldn't be. sounds wrong) or the general atmosphere of I'm so obsessed with him that #I would peel off my own skin to touch him for a fraction of a second but. yeah that was hilarious #maybe it's just funny? no no couldn't be that it has to be that I'm insane #hehe he sniffed. like a lil dog. #and then. there was a bird. on him. and he's got an axe #he's being all weird and mysterious. like some sort of weird huntsman. how strange #I need to eat this show #also the fact that Cassandra is prince charming is my favourite thing ever and I'm in love with her now too. crap it's spreading. #the librarians #iiiits 7:20 in the morning and I'm sleeeeepyyyy #can you tell???

#thanks big robo doggy :) everyone say thank you earth garon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! #i'm just a tiny bit sad that they didn't recreate the windom running around in circles scene... i can imagine why but aw #it was very very silly today.. everyone is written so casually it makes the atmosphere so goofy! #mister tsugita jun has been doing the character episodes iirc (in decker he did glutton of the lake and investigation from the past) #i've been curious about the series composition staff's style but the way blazar seems to be going for #means you kind of just have to be patient about these sorts of things i think 💭 #ultrablblog #krtext

i think i've finally reached the extremely esoteric, difficult-to-understand, hyper-metaphorical and weird part of Pathologic. Thing is, it's all the way on day 10, so wtf are people who've only played half of day 1 complaining about

#i guess they talk a little about all the weird Kain shit on day 1 #but things genuinely have not been difficult to get up until now #like... every time i talk to someone at this point im like. are they yanking my fucking chain #i'm having a tough time parsing all the Kain bullshit basically #pathologic #soliloquy #can i be real for a minute btw. #this game is fucking incredible #the atmosphere is fucking... chefs kiss #the feeling that i've lost any control over the plot or what happens in the town #the constant gunshots. the hisses of the fire corps. it's devastating and nerve-wracking and it makes me sick #just sort of desperately hoping that Burakh brings back good news about the origin of the plague #the tired acceptance that i can no longer pursue my leads or goals. starving the whole time #man. #this is a good game

I have to admit, I have a vague fear that one day, if I polish my drawings a little bit too much someone will ask me if it's AI, and then they will make me prove that it is not (and you know, things on the internet are not provable - and it's way harder to prove you are not something than that you are).

#idk it's been on my mind when I was going through my screenshot folder #I often screenshot a lot to share my process with friends #but it's weird to think about these as a sort of a failsafe #and lately I've seen people (esp on FB) being called frauds and having to defend themselves over and over again #most of this is trolling probably but I hate the witch hunt atmosphere #luckily most of my drawings are way too messy for that but I'm afraid that those which are of better quality someday may be at risk #personal #text post

It's interesting sometimes to think about how much the implied message behind Death Note is almost very much "maintain the status quo and it's foolish and fruitless to attempt to actually change the way things already work," even though it's also seemingly quite focused on challenging and questioning a lot of norms and values and institutions as well

#not that i think Light's method of changing society was a good one or was supposed to be seen as one either #but it's just interesting to take those kinds of things into account when reading it too #i saw an analysis of christopher nolan's batman series recently that pointed out that it was often very much a similar sort of thing #i think maybe because i grew up somewhere that is heavily of that mindset and culture itself i find these kinds of stories #pretty familiar and interesting to think about #and it's also interesting that a lot of fans of these stories probably have generally more progressive types of ideals themselves #i am pretty sure ohba is pretty conservative and that he mostly benefits from maintaining the status quo himself #but i know that generally japan has been conservative for a long time #and that its hard to make any kind of big waves of some sort there without it being frowned upon #and i think when you live in that kind of atmosphere it becomes quite difficult to openly discuss anything #that might help you make better sense of it all as well #i know i always learned best by being allowed to discuss things with other people openly #so i related a lot to matsuda when i first watched the show #p

Really incredible how when you’re an adult and you want to hang by yourself somewhere that’s not your bedroom at night you can simply, without shame or risk of consequences, drive your own car to a bar/cafe, instead of waiting until everyone’s asleep and sneaking out to the 24-hour IHOP

#I do sort of miss the 24 hour ihop #however this is kind of more fun and the atmosphere is better #boring text posts

It's been a minute since I've read one of the Buffyverse novels aimed at adults, and I kinda forgot that they can be scary?

I started Carnival of Souls tonight and even just reading the prologue made me uneasy. Which is what I want from these books more often than not. I realize I'm pretty easy to scare, but please do that more often.

#it actually kinda grates on me that the new books all appear to be aimed at a teenage audience #as if they (Disney - who owns the publisher Hyperion) don't realize or care that the fanbase is not solely teens and 20-somethings #and I know this sort of thing is also dependent on the author - and I do have favorites #call it a pet peeve I guess #Buffyverse novel tag #edit: I do want to say that I really enjoyed the newest novel 'The Bewitching Hour' - #but it was PG-13 high-school-horror-movie scary at best #great atmosphere no doubt. but it was not written to spook someone my age

i like bad special effects. meaning not just old and outdated (which in a lot of cases were actually groundbreaking for their time, but i digress) but also low-budget or rushed or just kinda corny and poorly executed. i think it adds charm where a lot of more polished productions are lacking.

#i don't think this is a particularly hot take on this website #i think a lot of us here also appreciate special effects that are either outdated but were brilliant at the time #or are just flat-out bad by any standard but still enjoyable in a campy way #but like. when the untamed was popular on here i saw a lot of people saying like 'just ignore the bad special effects lol' #when personally i ADORED the special effects in that show #up to and including the shitty animatronic dog lmao #i think they really added something to the atmosphere and the melodrama of it all #and slicker special effects would've made it a worse show. #feels a bit more like you're watching a stage play if you can peek around the curtain in this way #which is very fitting for the sort of show it is! it's very theatrical and dramatic and everything is a big fucking deal! #and you have to make the active choice to suspend your disbelief and get invested #in the idea that this flagrantly fake dog puppet is scary #it's sort of like i'm being asked to collaborate in the story i guess? #if the sfx isn't perfect then my conscious participation is necessary to make it land #so the overall result feels more personal and meaningful because i had to commit to it
