for the AMA: what compels you most in a fictional character!

rage as a trauma response.

it compels me when a character spits in the face of god. when the response isn't "why did you let all this happen" but "how dare you let this happen." something about the assertion of agency in the wake of un-meaning. something about "there was never a Purpose, the point is what you make of it." this is undoubtedly because i was raised evangelical and continue to struggle with what i believe vs what i want to be true. pero also i think i was denied anger for so long (and even now my reflex when i'm hurt is to divert/repress/hide/sublimate anger) that it's cathartic for SOMEONE to get to be mad at the powers that be.

misogyny means it's usually (white) male characters who get these narrative arcs. this is evident in my blorbos: astarion from bg3, the corinthian from sandman, will graham from hannibal. (my immediate first thought was actually emilio sandoz from the sparrow, very literal autistic brain serving me well here lmao, what does it mean to be god's whore.) but my favorite female and genderqueer characters have this, too. saga anderson from alan wake 2 (LITERALLY tells both the in-game narrative force and the meta "fuck off, i'm done with other people writing my story"). essun from the broken earth trilogy (everyone who says they can't connect to her...i need you to examine yourself for misogynoir). vic from nos4a2. eurydice from hadestown. erica slaughter from something is killing the children. jade from my heart is a chainsaw.

(horror is obviously a huge medium for this...the final girl is a figure of righteous anger, the avenging angel, the woman who mows down the ultimate horror with a baseball bat or a butcher knife and she's right, she's in the right, she's the monster slayer, fuck you fear me.)

#ask games #AMA #crimeronan #this was SUCH a good ask thank you #also i'm not gonna write a whole essay here in the tags but i think part of why i adore horror #and why i have a hard time connecting to ''literary fiction'' women IS that allowance for rage #what a genre considers acceptable female rage sometimes feels So Hollow compared to what i might let myself feel irl #i like my trauma-rage bloody and awful #SOMEONE needs to pay in flesh #weirdly stephen king is really good at this when he lets himself do it? beverly from IT and arguably It from IT are peak #Women Should Do Crimes Actually #unfortunately most of the time Stephen King sucks at letting women be people #SO INSTEAD i recommend Stephen Graham Jones who just consistently does this #i ALSO don't think it's a coincidence that my favorite queer and women creators who write these arcs are also not white #nonwhite queer and female rage is Threatening To The Status Quo

the thought of cracking the spine of a book makes kevin nauseous. he like opens it just enough to see the words and holds the book at such uncomfortable angles to read— anything to keep the book pristine and intact. he does not let people borrow his books because he is a control freak (as a term of endearment) and does not trust them to take care of them the way he does.

and andrew is the complete opposite, cracking the spine as soon as he opens it. he annotates in pen. he dog ears the pages because who the fuck has time to find a bookmark. he throws books out of anger. he throws them at aaron for fun. he lets them get smashed and torn in his bag. he always keeps them, he just prefers them to look like they’ve been read.

#someone asks kevin what he’s reading and he doesn’t say the name he just explains the ENTIRE plot of whatever historical thing it is #then is like oh….it’s [book] by [author]…. #someone asks to borrow a book from him and he’s like “i’m sure the library has it” #andrew probably reads horror and sci fi #he probably fucks with stephen king heavy #i refuse to believe andrew “eidetic memory” minyard is “aLLeRgiC tO boOkS” #have you heard him speak… so poetic for what #i fucking know he’s read shakespeare. he hated it but he read it #imagining andrew as a child in foster care escaping in fantasy worlds to get away from his real life is doing something. bad. to me #kevin reads historical fiction and nonfiction #my baby has a special interest and i will do nothing but respect that #“kevin how often do you think about the roman empire” #“…every time i turn on the faucet… why…?” #and when they stare blankly at him he goes on a RANT about roman acqueducts and how they were #“—LITERALLY REVOLUTIONARY WHY ARE YOU LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT??? we would not have running water THINK ABOUT THAT for ONE SECOND” #neil josten doesn’t read. he can’t sit still long enough to #aftg #kevin day #andrew minyard #all for the game #the foxhole court #tfc

#movies that make me go ''well. i can't love EVERY antagonist i suppose :V'' #just the slimiest men *ever* in this flick. my god. #protip this movie is very good as long as -- and this is imperative -- you turn it off after she runs into the tree #the part where she passes out and the people from the nearby house come running up? that's the end of the movie. trust me. #mike flanagan 🤝 stephen king: good at horror. good at characters. absolutely dogshit at endings. #gerald's game #lboxd log #cinephilia

I'm watching danny gonzalez' newest video rn and i genuinely can't get over the fact that this one game straight up copies official art of six from little nightmares

Like i get that they probably thought it was georgie from IT since both clowns in the game seem to be based on pennywise but like....still, this genuinely caught me off-guard...

Now I don't know anything about Silent Hill, but there is no way that Pyramid head would be able to beat the Predator from Mortal Kombat, hell I don't think Pyramid head can beat the jungle hunter Predator! Like bro! He can't even kill one guy, ONE NORMAL GUY!!! Meanwhile the Yautja species can kill Xenomorphs, multiple soldiers, and they can square up with bears! But fine be like that.

People pushing for censorship who can't bear the thought of their children seeing a girl in a bikini or someone getting punched missed the point of Finding Nemo, Tangled, and Carrie:

Forcing your children to live in some sort of sheltered bubble will not to keep them safe and the harder you try to keep them in that bubble the more they will resent you and push you away.
