#um. forgive me if my examples are kind of limited in scope. i don’t. partake in a lot of horror.

um…question for any of y’all that listen to the magnus archives…if a person is hypothetically very prone to heebie-jeebies…is it like…manageable? or is it going to make this purely hypothetical person afraid to walk down the hallway at night;;;

bc it sounds interesting but. i am. nervous.

#moi #tma #the magnus archives #for reference #i can better handle horror that is more easily divorced from reality #i guess? #or like… #if the horror is like…easily contained? #like the horror is more on a realistic scale or setting but also it’s happening Way Over There and not Over Here #see also: the horror has already been taken care of (it’s dead or managed or subdued or sealed or whatever) #so like #example of easily divorced from reality: alien #we don’t have space travel and also this specific circumstances were unusual #and the scary thing was handled (no i will not be considering alternate endings at this time) #example of easily contained: the thing (it’s more or less contained and also is Way Over There and isn’t going anywhere) #COUNTER example to easily divorced/contained: Us (i think that’s what it was called?) #specifically because it just so happened to be set. in the town i went to college in. #and that is very distinctly NOT Way Over There #it’s not even kind of Over There. It’s Right Here. SPECIFICALLY Right Here. #um. forgive me if my examples are kind of limited in scope. i don’t. partake in a lot of horror. #i only watched alien and the thing bc they were assigned for class. and i pointedly did NOT watch Us #bc i read the first line of the synopsis and went ‘that’s where i am currently living 🙃’ #look i just wanna be able to turn off the lights and not have to high tail it to my room #bc i’m scared of The Creepies Coming To Get Me #i am a complete wuss 🥺 #but tma sounds interesting
