I would very like to know how Rocky Horror rescued you from an abusive relationship please

Hello there! Bless you for paying such close attention to my reblogs.

So. Up until 9th grade I had never seen the movie/a production of RHPS. I was a pastor's kid, pretty sheltered, and really not into antics and noise for the sake of antics and noise.

My best friend at the time and I had recently decided to try dating one another, after our first kiss on my 16th birthday and several conversations about possibly caring more for each other than just as friends, possibly being bi, etc.

We had to sneak around and pretend we were still just friends, being in a tiny, conservative town. I was particularly anxious about keeping the secret and by then, she had started accusing me of faking actually liking her, of wanting to date boys more than I wanted to date her, being fake bi, etc, etc. She even threatened a couple of times to tell people about us, and because she was related to every other person in town, and I was the pastor's kid, this would've spelled big trouble.

But I was lonely and still figuring myself out and she'd been my only friend since I was 11, so I stuck around. She grew more and more possessive, and threatened physical violence, which she was more than capable of, being a lot larger than me.

A few weeks before Halloween, a local movie theatre advertised that it was going to put on an interactive Rocky Horror showing/performance, where people came dressed as characters, watched the movie, and basically wrecked havoc to each other and the theater, as is tradition in showings of RHPS.

She wanted to go, and I at first agreed, more out of fear of making her angry than actual desire to see the show. Like I said, all I knew about it at the time was that theatres typically got trashed, there was a lot of weird sex stuff in the movie, and that it tended to get loud and messy. At 16, all of that stuff made me extremely uncomfortable.

So thinking I was adequately preparing myself for the night in question, I watched the movie a few nights before. And just THAT was enough to convince me that I didn't want to be in the environment of the theatre with people singing and yelling and throwing things, and wasn't sure what my parents would think of the transvestite aspect of it, or all of the sexual situations (remember, I was a naive pastor's kid). And I told her all that point blank.

She was FURIOUS. I held my ground, though now she actually did start banging on the hood of my car if she saw me in the school parking lot, cornering me at my locker, and REPEATEDLY threatening to tell my parents what we'd been up to (we never had sex, but we made out every chance we could and that would be enough to damn me, I was sure). On two occasions, she actually managed to get me alone, and beat me up just enough to hurt me and get her message across, but not enough for me to prove anything if I dared tell anyone.

What ended up happening was, I used the pressure she was putting on me seemingly about the movie to break up with her/end our friendship, citing the physical violence and manipulation to my parents and HER parents, as the reason.

It stayed ugly for a long long time after that, and I was still scared every time I saw her, and she still tried to guilt me into hanging out with her for nearly a year after that, but yeah. That's the gist of it.

So basically now, I'm still not a big fan of Rocky Horror Picture Show, but I have loosened up a bit and am on much better terms with my sexuality, and all the abuse I suffered with this girl, even instances I didn't think were abusive until looking at them years later. And now I can have fun singing along to all the songs and enjoy the movie for just being weird.

TL;DR Rocky Horror Picture Show made me break up with an abusive girlfriend and made me come to terms with being bisexual.

Katya / Goncharov

#yeah ik ive posted them before sorry but i REALLY like how these look together #martin scorsese #goncharov #artists on tumblr #illustration #unreality #<— posters for a ‘movie’ that doesn’t actually exist but is a tumblr meme in which everyone pretends it does&makes content for it #fascinating how we’re immediately personable w katya by knowing her first name while only knowing goncharov’s surname keeps us at a distanc #combined with him being the only major character to go by a moniker it emphasizes just how much he's been consumed by the role he plays #who is goncharov? does he know and keep it secret? or has he too lost his sense of identity? #it's reflected in these posters as we SEE katya but goncharov remains elusive - yet clearly time is running out for them both #lakjdklf ok im done now i never post meta on here so im having fun with the fictional movie #btw I updated both of the illustrations compared to the original posts but will leave those as they were #woudl be cool if my post showed up. u can do it tumblr

[carnivalcarriondiscarded]

watched Grease the other night with my buddy and. well. obviously i Had To

#this was a good warm up i think. kinda low quality cause its Small and Not Much Effort Went Into It #but i think the fuzziness adds to the charm. or something like that #ive always loved greasers as a concept and general Thing #anyway now im Thinking about what everyone's 'roles' would be #i think the little greaser group would be wally / sally / barnaby #except theyre the most unconventional greasers ever #sally is all bark and no bite. barnaby is no bark and no bite. wally is just there to look pretty #i think theyd fold frank into the group eventually due to Witnessing His Knack For Violence #i can picture them mostly hanging around a diner #where they all share the single milkshake they can collectively afford #scribble garnish #welcome home #in middle school i absolutely adored the outsiders #we even did a thing for the class where we were assigned 'greaser' or 'soc' and i was So Fucking Delighted to get greaser #assigned greaser by 8th grade english class #got to dress up and everything. i had a blast. so gender. #during that time i would even sit there in class thinking 'i was born in the wrong generation'. delusional? yes #one of my ocs is even a fuckin. universe-hopping assassin greaser #their vibe.... 50s punk... #loved the movie btw. made next to no sense. very charming

[ganondoodle]

i have grown kinda tired of all the studio ghibli and totk comparisons bc i love most of miyazakis movies and its so annoyingly obvious that if totk actually took inspiration from them its all just the surface level aesthetic and none of the good story telling

#ganondoodles talks #zelda #totk #like yeah i see how ashitakas arm and how he got it hurt looks similar to how link “”“”“loses”“”“” his arm in totk #but ashitakas wound is a curse of hatred from a deity that protected their forest from humans destroying it to get to the iron in the earth #and the deity - whos a BOAR- got wounded so badly the pain and fear of death turned him into a demon of hatred #while the poeple wanting the iron are also just doing it for their own survival #like man i fukcing WISH totk had any of the storytelling that princess mononoke had #them seemingly jsut taking the aesthetic from it but none of the story is even more infuriating to me tbh #princess mononoke is one of my all time favorite movies #maybe thats another reason why im so disgruntled about totk #bc it reminds me of things i love -zelda and mononoke- and turning it both bad #before the game was out the comparisons from link to ashitaka was pretty much in every second theory video #abd even then i was skeptical bc i doubted they could make in any way a story as good as that #welp :)))) #anyway #old man yells at cloud lol #(this is not directed at anyone directly btw- i just keep running into even now and been feeling this way for a long time- )

[rotisseries]

tired of people who want pjo movie references in the disney+ show. "logan lerman should've been-" i don’t care. "poker face in the casino-" actually i hope ms. gaga keeps her entire discography miles away from it. i don't care move on

#peace and love🫶 #this isn't even to say I didn't like those parts of the movies or that I can't see the appeal in having references in the show #I'm just tired of HEARING about it oh my god #the pjo movies are getting all of the loving looking back they could need #just in the fact that people's opinions of them are clearly shifting #like people look back on them more fondly now they were VERY bad adaptations but fun movies overall with some good scenes #I think the shift in public opinion is also due to the d+ show btw I think the fact we have a good adaptation now #means people no longer feel the need to spend energy publicly and viscerally disavowing the movies anymore #but we still don't really need references to it!! especially when it's shit you're so clearly not getting I'm sorry #they're not putting logan lerman anywhere in there you know this look inside yourself #and they're DEFINITELY not putting poker face in the lotus hotel scene COME ON NOW THAT WOULD JUST BE STUPID #the lotus hotel scene is already going to undeniably get compared to the pjo movie version #and they. kind of have a lot to beat. the lotus hotel scene was so much fun #there's already going to be a bunch of “which was better?” discourse about it #using poker face would honestly probably not help. also then it's not gonna be a fun scene in it's own right #it's gonna be a fun and good scene to people just cause it references some bad movies #anyway I hope they pick a different song I saw some people say hotel room- #pjo #pjo tv #pjo disney+

[look-at-the-stars-tonight]

I don’t care what the plot of the community movie is as long as it starts with a shot of Troy and Abed cuddled together in bed and sleepily singing “Troy and Abed in the morning” as they wake up

#community #Trobed #Troy Barnes #abed nadir #community movie #no this won’t happen but I enjoy being delusional #I woke up this New Year’s Day with this image in my brain so I had to inflict it upon the rest of u #it’s a giant bed btw cause they live in a mansion cause Troy successfully completed pierces challenge and won his inheritance #and abed is a successful filmmaker #and they live in LA now #Troy does ac repair or car repair for fun #he doesn’t need to but he needs to do something with his time #and he mainly focuses on apprenticeships #and teaching those skills to high schoolers who can’t afford to go to college #can u tell I’m very attached to the mechanic Troy idea #he has a GIFT and it bothers me that it was completely set aside #he doesn’t necessarily need to use it but I like the idea of him starting his own school #except this time it’s not a cult #and it’s to show people that u can have a successful career WITHOUT college #the trades are valuable. #ok I’m done #actually no I’m not #he comes home every day and gushes about his students #‘abed you won’t BELIEVE how quickly Tony can diagnose and replace x!’ #can u tell I know very little about cars #and then abed makes a film about Troy and his kids and they get a SHIT TON of money and all of it goes to scholarships and expanding #the school #yes Troy has money already but also running a repair shop and training kids for free is Expensive #and they both live happily ever after. #NOW I’m done

I'll never find the right guy for me because I'd need him to watch Swiss Army Man and not only appreciate it on an artistic level but to love me in the same way Hank and Manny love each others. Without shame, without fear, in a way that's gross and absurd and stinks and it's existential and boundless. I feel that's the only way I could be happy loving someone and being loved. I don't really understand relationships, but I understood that movie, I think, and it stuck with me ever since I watched it. I need someone to understand that shame truly keeps us from love, and not just shame of our little imperfections, but shame everything that's flesh and blood and rots and stinks like shit and feels like shit, it's putrid and it's that one part of the human experience books and movies leave out because it's useless and it isn't nice to tell, that we never think about because it makes us gag, like taking out the trash. After watching that movie, I feel that's the only love I can truly understand. I want something that stinks. I want to be someone's sack of shit.

#swiss army man #I think about this movie way too much and I feel like I am different person now that I've watched it #paul dano #daniel radcliffe #I truly don't get relationships but this movie I get #sometimes I just want to shout from my rooftop SHAME KEEPS US FROM LOVE #but I feel you can't really understand it until you've watched this movie #which I highly recommend to watch with Shame by Steve McQueen btw

[rambling-robot]

a common thing in my experience with indie horror (i'm specifically talking about video games and animation) is that a lot of it references other, often well-known horror stories. sometimes it's just a cute little "ahaha yes the clowns are from space" or a bloody elevator moment. but i'm not super familiar with a lot of popular horror (ie Stephen King), so there are a lot of things i won't get and i'll end up associating it solely with what i'm watching. a youtube analysis explaining all of the references can be helpful with understanding some of what i just saw, but i'm not going to re-watch it and go, "oh, wow, this is just one long rip-off of references." i'm going to go, "oh wow, this makes more sense with the newly-gained background knowledge. what an incredible work of art." art referencing other art to make new art or something like that. love it.

#this post is about emesis blue btw #i never played tf2 nor was i in the fandom but i was like hey yeah sure let's watch this and. wowzers guys. #everything in there belongs to tf2 now. if i ever see anything outside of it i'm going to go 'wow just like in the tf2 movie' #'long night' 'longer than you think' i can't believe mr king received a premonition of emesis blue and referenced it in a story #i've been obsessed with this for like 3 days now. #when i say i don't know anything i mean... i know the Biggest moments but i wasn't able to identify the bathroom #i figured it was from something but never would've guessed what

not to be true crime posting on main but i think i'm falling down the wm3 rabbit hole again

#xenia.txt #when i tell you this case keeps me up at night to this day #not even the murders themselves as much as the general public's reception to and opinions on the case 3 decades later like #i get why it;s always been so divisive especially after the pl docus came out (lots of opinions on those btw none of them are good #from the bottom of my heart fuck you joe berlinger and bruce sinofsky) #but it's truly baffling how no one is willing to do the research on what is arguably THE most well documented true crime case in recent #history like. everything that's ever been released to the general public is available online and i mean everything #you can find all the court files trial transcripts depositions interogation tapes aerial photos you name it it's out there for anyone with #internet connection to access at any and all hours of the day #and yet people are still foaming at the mouth fighting on reddit abt their innocence based off nothing but a couple of movies like #bffr with me right now!! almost every point the innocenters make can be easily debunked by scrolling through callahan for 15 minutes #'but they've been pushing for dna testing since their release so they can't be guilty' baby the case is closed! #it's been closed the second they took the plea. they can be striking under that courthouse and it still won't change a thing and they knowi #that's why they're pushing for it in the first place but that's just my opinion #^ and i say they but it's really only echols which makes a lot of sense to me personally #and if you want to talk abt dna testing let's talk abt the one that was done in 2011 and how the defense hurried to propose the plea as soo #as they got the results! let's talk abt those cause no one's ever seen them and i would very much like to #braga share the results the people want to know!! #makes me wonder which pieces of evidence they even submitted for that 2011 testing because if i'm remembering correctly #there was one that would've closed this case instantly and maybe that's why the results were never disclosed and the plea was rushed #but that's also just my opinion #and it's also interesting how the majority of people who have in fact deep dived into this case #(and i'm not talking abt big true crime youtubers as i'm very sceptical abt their research abilities) #all collectively lean towards guilty. much to think about #i was hoping someone would make another ~actually~ unbiased documentary for the 30th anniversary and go over all the case files #but i don't think that's even realistic at this point seeing as everyone and their mother has some sort of an opinion on this case #hbo deserves another lawsuit for this. they should've never won the first one in the first place #true crime tw

Do gay people even know about Birdy?

Once every couple months I remember these dudes and they take over my whole mind

I am BEGGING people to read or watch Birdy

I'm in love with queercoded old fiction. And these pictures don't even begin to show how queer it is. Not to mention it's one of the best portrayals of complex PTSD I've ever seen

There's a part where Birdy gets 2 birds specifically with the intention of having them mate and have babies and he names them Birdie and Alfonso after Al and himself. HELLO????

#anyway #al is a raging bisexual #and birdy (one of my top comfort characters of all time) is gay asexual and nonbinary!! #(headcanons only btw. its not canon but it SHOULD be) #be warned the story is somewhat disturbing. but its one of my favorites #first time i watched the movie i thought “i will never watch this again” #that was like 5 years ago and ive seen it 7 times now and read the book twice 😅 #its a lot. but i think more people should know about it #birdy #birdy 1984 #birdy william wharton #william wharton #nicolas cage #matthew modine #alan parker #80s #80s movies #queercoded lit #queercoded period piece #lgbtqia #birdy movie #birdy book #oh AND to make it even better the movie has a peter gabriel soundtrack!!! #thats how you know its a weird masterpiece #peter gabriel #movies stuff #birdy stuff

[sinematically]

talking about a fascist government and setting their elections on the day of diwali and basing ur lead on hanuman…. Dev Patel I’m so proud of u ??????

#dev patel #monkey man #FYI: India is having their election right now & a fascist government might come into power again #we genuinely do not think another election will take place if these assholes win #the red flags in the movie initially were orange to mirror the current political party and had to be COLOR CORRECTED to avoid more issues #this movie will also not be releasing in India most likely and if it does it’ll be post May-mid because elections will be done then #THE SHIT HES DOING RN IS BALLSY AS FUCK I AM SO IN AWE OF HIM #we cannot make movies that criticise our government overtly in India btw like that’s just not gonna fly :D the censor board bans it #please go read about what’s happening with Modi and India if you liked this movie #will give you one mythological story in return <3
