#I like my romance like I like my horror

[triflesandparsnips]

Sometimes-- as this season progresses and we see that Izzy is, in fact, the show's favorite little redemption blorbo-- I think about my beloved 'enemies-to-lovers future biopic applicant' Izzy-hating anon who sent me love letters so many months ago and I wonder...

...do they still feel me there. Right behind them.

Loving them anyway.

I think more people would realize they like horror (this goes for all genres, horror is simply the one I have the most experience with) if they stopped thinking they had to like every type of horror. The amount of times I've had someone say they don't like horror, only for me to introduce them to horror comedies or creature features or psychological horror etc and watch them delight in it again and again borders on the absurd. Why are people convinced they must enjoy every inch of such a broad, expansive landscape in order to be able to claim some fondness for it? I don't love every poem I read; still, it would never occur to me that that means I must not really like poetry. There are many horror movies I outright dislike and many more I simply don't jive with. That doesn't take away from the fact that it's my favorite genre. I see this the most regarding horror and romance--always interesting to me, the similar ways in which those genres are treated--and in fact I've been guilty of assuming that because I dislike most of the more popular romances, it must mean I don't like romance as a whole. Which, of course, is unfair to the wide range which romance has, a deep ocean which I have and do occasionally find solace in. Still, I've always struggled to say I like it. Why? Romance as a genre has far more to offer than just Harlequin novels and American comedies from the 2000s. Just as there's more to horror than slashers and anatomical queasiness. Nothing wrong with liking or disliking those things, but pretending they are the be all/end all or even the majority of their respective genres means shutting the door on countless opportunities not just of enjoyment but real, genuine love.

#tcp #horror is a love letter to humanity #every time I'm like oh i don't really like romance Say Anything (perfect movie) comes knocking on my door

Darlings. is it gay when the phantom you created as a manifestation of your dreadfull loneliness takes the form of one of your closest friends.

Fanart of this pretty good horror rarijack fanfic, "The haunting of carroussel boutique" personaly i am surprised the writer didnt take the chance to point out how fucking funny this is. Me n kim started laughing about it during stream and i just had to draw this

#i REALLY didn't mean to make this look like theyre fucking #it just happened i apologize #either way the fanfic is pretty good! #but i couldn't help but realise the writer stook to the horror genre like glue #and didn't think to point out how objectively funny that like. #Rarity is sleeping with a copy of applejack #incredibly akward #incredibly funny #also shoutout to when ghosts are born from a wish #fuckin LOVE that. much better than “some guy died here” #Rarity haunted herself because of her awfull loneliness #lucky for her the real thing has come to the rescue #applejack #rarity #rarijack #mlp #my little pony #suggestive #I GUESS!!! #fanfiction #pony posting #The Haunting of Carousel Boutique #friendship is magic #personaly i coulda done with more romance and smidge bit more of comedy #but the fic is still very VERY well put together #one genre fics are unrelatable to me but i respect the hell outta it

a sapphic comic about a village girl and the fae she fell in love with.

creative notes:

#i didnt really have to struggle that much with my sexuality since once i realised it was an option i jumped the comphet ship immediately #but i wouldnt have reached this conclusion without the help of the queer women in my life #so. shoutout to them. i adore you #and i know the queer community is rife with infighting a lot of the time #but we shouldn't forget the simple joys of being known and acknowledged and empowered by people like you #those are just my thoughts #also #this comic has girls kissing in it #shock!! horror!! etc!! #im returning to my brand which is queer comics about relationships that are dubiously healthy #a romance has to be the slightest bit obsessive for me to really get into it unfortunately <3 #fae #sapphic #lgbt #lesbian #comics #stillindigo art #stillindigo comics #hearteaters

sometimes I get insecure about the way I look, because my brain is mean to me and likes to pick apart literally everything about me, but then I realize... "Dude. You'd fuck monsters." Then I feel stupid like I'd see someone 10 feet tall, with 10 eyes, and 10 fucking rows of teeth, and be like "HE-LLO, SAILOR! 😻" but wanna be critical of a below average human face? like I need to be sooo serious rn

maybe its just me and my love of all things gothic, but i've been really surprised by the classification of saltburn as a (poorly executed) 'eat the rich' satire. i would've said it was primarily gothic fiction and that the class commentary was more a backdrop to that than the major thesis of the film, so it's interesting that a lot of people seemed to interpret it mostly or entirely through the lens of class satire. i'll be interested to see if the interpretation/reaction to the movie changes at all between the theatrical release and the digital one in a couple weeks; my perception is that a not insignificant number of people went into saltburn expecting something like parasite and were justifiably disappointed. not me though i'm a sucker for a fucked up gothic romance

#saltburn #barry keoghan #jacob elordi #emerald fennell #like the structure of the movie follows gothic romance/horror pretty perfectly up until the twist #at which point my interpretation was that the whole point was taking gothic tropes and then flipping them around #honestly found myself thinking of crimson peak quite a bit while watching! #honestly i would make a list of all the gothic tropes in saltburn but it would be so spoiler-ridden and long #itd have to be under a read more 😭

Not to keep harping on it but Death Note has plenty of fridge horror to go along with the unintentional humor and romance.

Like,,,the ENTIRETY of Wammy's House is such a fucked up concept. An orphanage where they crank out genius kids into the world by...what? What are they doing with those kids? What do you mean one of them died in there? Wait—and the second one is a serial killer? And one joined the mafia? What—WHAT ARE YOU DOING TO THOSE KIDS—

Not to mention the intricacies of L and Watari's relationship. He's seen as a butler/father figure until you find out that he's an inventor/war vet who took in an orphan with the express purpose of making him useful. No wonder Wammy's runs the way it does when the og, the man it is named after sees children as tools and means to an end. And, given that L has already made them so much money playing stocks that it doesn't even matter anymore (Mr. Builds A Skyscraper To House Five People), why is Quillish still with him? To keep an eye on him? To make sure L doesn't forget where he came from? Out of some sort of guilt for never teaching him how to take care of himself because those weren't the skills that Quillish thought it important to cultivate? Or maybe even to keep him dependent on Quillish to keep functioning properly.

And then there's the horror of L himself. Not even the implications of him, but the proof of who he is and what he can do. The thought of a man with so much money and power and influence that if he wanted to make you disappear, if he wanted to torture you or hold your loved ones hostage or kill you and everyone that's ever shaken your hand he could and no one would fucking bat an eye—that's fucking terrifying. (Where the fuck is Beyond—) And, not only does he have the power to do all that; no one would question it because he's part of Law™. His every action can be excused as being part of the Greater Good, despite the fact that L himself has admitted that everything he does is for his own benefit and/or entertainment.

Light, of course, is an obvious horror—but one of the most horrific things about him is glossed over. I'm not someone who personally believes in the Death Note's corruptive powers or aura or whatever, but that's not what I'm talking about. I'm talking about the fact that, once you give up the Death Note, your memories of it are erased. All the people you've killed, all the things that you've seen, you've still seen and done all those things, you just don't remember it. There's a hole in your mind, and all that prickly, thorny mess that grew in you when you were a killer is still there, choking you—you just don't know why. Why are you so unfazed by death? Why don't you cry when your mother dies? Why are you so afraid of being something that looks like you? Will you ever be certain of anything again? Will you ever, truly, know yourself when you can't remember all the atrocities you've committed? Can you ever change and grow again if your roots are gone? Or are you stuck in stasis forever now, your mind stalling in one place in order to keep you from remembering the people you've killed?

#death note #fridge horror #people always talk about the unintentional romance or humor #but i dont think people talk about the unintentional horrors enough #quillish wammy #l lawliet #yagami light #light yagami #wammy kids #*rattles my cage* #THE IMPLICATIONS..!.;THE IMPLICATIONS OF IT ALL..!.!!! #you know for a horror show the horror is extremely well hidden #but then again i DO like scares you gotta think about for a minute #okay but srsly where is beyond #like realistically he was probably put in prison but also canonically im not SURE he was put in prison #bc really do you think quillish wants that on record? one of his experiment orphans committing murder? #or L even do you think L wants someone running around with his secrets and FACE?? #i would not be surprised if they just fuckin bodied him afterwards no pomp and circumstance just chucked him in the bog #or worse....he might be back at wammys #locked up in the fuckin basement or some shit #that place is SCARY bro

Not pictured is Asmo compaining about not being able to afford a chicken coop while in the saloon and then deciding "may as well buy this man a pizza" and then handing Shane a pizza on his birthday (accidentally. I didn't even remember it was his bday).

And that's how Shane decided "ok I've known this man for 24 days and he has given me two pizzas. I /guess/ I can give him a dance at the flower festival". Which. Hey, why don't frontal refs exist of the male outfits at the flower festival (to my knowledge). Take weird bright blue jackets I guess???

Fun fact ft Asmodeus♡ file being a messed up wild trip down heart event lane! So far, Shane is at 8 hearts. I have viewed the events in this order: 4, 2, 7 (part two, where he's filming the vid), 6, 7, then 8. I think it describes them perfectly to be completely out of order and messing up and also very fond of each other anyway.

#stardew valley #farmer asmodeus♡ #also i think its very poetic that shane is so far the only non spite leveled romance for asmo #sdv shane #like i wanna romance everyone with asmo since i normally dont get outta tunnel vision with my farmers #but the absolutely brutal rng of this file and the fact i named him after a demon ? #asmo 100% wants to make the entire town adore him and grovel at his feet because hes a petty loser #and if he has to be town fisher hes gonna make them suffer for it like hes suffering himself #theres not enough time in a day to actually draw all of the fishing horrors ive gone through with asmo #its not even fall and hes fishing level 8

#vent #the series is way too simply for it to be misunderstood to this extend 💀 like what's happening #yes. there are elements that can be thought they make an interesting horror but the narrative doesn't treat it as a horror #it's a supernatural romance yall! #trying to add pseudo philosophical depth because the basic canon is too much #it's so frustrating #and I say this as someone who loves thrillers #you'd think twilight renaissance would bring some love but the majority posts are either memes or ppl who hate the actual story #{anyways need to get this off my chest}
