Half tempted nah HEAVILY tempted to add ‘Everywhere At The End Of Time’ tracks to the EC AU Playlist 💀 specifically the YT vers cause it’s the more ‘feeling uneasy, unsettling’ version you know… it captured the atmosphere perfectly but MAN I ain’t about to make everyone and myself feel THAT uneasy HAH
[chemistry] it's not a word that actors [use]. but you must endeavor a little bit to try and fall in love, in whatever that capacity is. and andrew is a very easy person to fall in love with. he's kind, generous, talented. we shot the film at the perfect junction in our friendship where there was a lot we didn't know about each other, but there was mutual admiration and respect. and a similar sense of humor. (...) yeah, it felt fizzy when we were acting. especially with that first scene at the door -- it's so well-written. you feel like you're dancing through the scene, you can go in loads of different ways, and if i went one way, andrew would go another. if that's what chemistry is, i was aware it was happening.

oooooooohhugyghh the springtrap brainrot is hitting real hard today. specifically the angsty parts.
my headcanon is that his actual body, the corpse, is still technically, somehow alive. he's still breathing. he still feels hunger and thirst and tired, but he just...can't do any of them. his body is essentially forced to breathe even with the springlocks puncturing his lungs. he's starving and exhausted and suffocating but he can't die. he is on the verge of death at all times but nothing can push him past that. and that's just the physical side of things. the complete loss of any sense or communication or stimulation while stuck in that room for 30 years wouldve been so, so much worse than any physical sensation. he's stuck in this pitch black room, in his own pain, with nothing to do except think, or do some mindless movement like pacing. he'd tried everything- trying to scream for help until he couldn't make noise at all. throwing himself against the door to force it open. nothing worked. all he could do was hope and beg that someday that door would open and he'd get himself out of this damn room- but until then it was the same every day. forgetting who he was. forgetting any language skills, forgetting people. forgetting how to be a human. delusions and hallucinations constantly tearing at his sense of what was real and what wasn't, until the line between that room, himself, and the outside world became blurred. he wasn't in that room anymore- he was that room. feeling the walls closing in pressing harder and harder until eventually leaving the room was merely a forgotten memory.
idk why i never shared this here, but! i made this for a beloved mutual for christmas last year and now it’s all canon (i think.) in the “tried and true blue”verse. i’m finishing up my byler lumax road trip ficlet so they were on my mind. ✨🩷 including the OG sticky notes discussion board featured in t&tb (and more, under the cut!!)
(pls bare with the style i tried to make it 9th grader vibes idk)
I don't think Petscop is horror in a scary sense, it's horror in a "it fills you dread" kind of sense and honestly that's the approach I want to take with horror.
Honestly as someone who was diagnosed with a mental disorder in the 2010s reading the chapters about Dmitri's trial is incredibly funny. Just a bunch of people who barely know what a mental illness is arguing about psychology potentially being bullshit. OF COURSE IT'S BULLSHIT YOU'RE IN THE LATE 1800S PSYCHOLOGY IS LITERALLY JUST STARTING TO BE BORN AND MENTAL ILLNESSES DON'T EVEN HAVE NAMES YET GIVE IT AT LEAST A CENTURY OF TRIAL AND ERROR FIRST.
