I’m certainly not done talking about Du’Met (7/???)

There are heavy influences of other serial killers I see in Du’Met. (Not H.H.Holmes, because that guy never did what they say he did in the game. He didn’t even have a „Murder Castle. Did he kill people in his hotel? Yes, probably. But not to the extent that the game [and some other media] wants to make us believe.)

So, what real murderer could have been an inspiration for Du’Met/Hector Munday (for the sake of understandability I treat them as one single person)?

First and foremost I would say, Ed Kemper. Kemper had an abusive (alcohol – addicted) mother who blamed him for her problems, and let him live in the boiler room in the cellar because his appearance was „unbearable“ for her and his sisters additionally they felt unsave and sexually molested by Kemper.

It is assumed (a fandom theory) that Hector Munday was also insulted for his looks by his mother.

While Kempers violent fantasies intensified, he also developed an affinity for justice and police work. Kemper is known for his cooperativity with the police and helping to lay the foundation for criminal profiling (with the FBI-Agenten Ressler und Douglas). His knowledge about psychology was attained during his stay in the Atascadero State Hospital after he killed his grandparents, where he was allowed to help and listen to sessions with other criminals. Also he developed own psychological tests with the corresponding items. Later Kemper used his knowledge to manipulate his victims.

Munday was an FBI profiler. About why he chose that career path can only be speculated. Although he took another way than Kemper, Munday specialized in psychology; and seeing his success, he understood that subject well. So well he used it later to analyze his victims and use the information against them.

During the first murders, Kemper described that he wanted the girls to trust him, that it was not bearable for him that one girls knew that he had just killed her friend. At moments he was not even able to look at her face. All in all Kemper was, well, bashful. When he accidentally touched the breast of his (assumed) third victim, he apologized. Like he was not going to kill and rape her. Kemper reflected on that, that if he had met her earlier in his life, this all might have not happened. It is questionable how true that is since Kemper was convinced that no one could ever love him (,again. Once he was in a relationship but that was spoiled by his mother). So, he wanted complete control over the situation and his partner (also seen by other serial killers like Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Dean Corll, etc.).

This is more going into the fandom theories, that while Du’Met is dominant and determined while killing people, he is sexually quite inexperienced. But in almost every situation, he wants control over his partner (mostly based on other people's headcanons, personally I see it differently). However, he canoncally wants to control every situation during his hunting.

The last similarity I want to point out is, the murders Kemper did regarding his own family. As mentioned before, Kemper killed his grandparents. His grandmother had to die because she reminded him so much of his mother and he couldn’t handle all her nagging anymore (about shooting birds and such). The same day Kemper killed his grandfather, this time however it was out of mercy so his demented grandfather didn’t have to see his dead wife. Last but not least, Kemper finally killed his mother. 

Munday also killed his mother, in contrast to Kemper, not out of hate, but out of mercy (like Kemper did with his grandfather), so she wouldn’t have to suffer from the effects of cancer.

That’s it with Ed Kemper, On to the next. Ed Gein. This one is less about his murders, and more about his other crimes and relationship to his mother. Geins father was an alcohol addict who would beat up his wife and Geins mother only mocked her husband for that. It was her, who made the decisions in the family. Furthermore his mother saw sexuality as a sin and impure. 

There is not much told about Hectors father. Only that he left Lucinda when Hector was not born yet or very young. So it could be that Clarence also was an alcoholic, or Lucinda scared him off. Also it is just speculation what Lucinda thought about sexuality, but going along with headcanons, Du’Met seems timid regarding his own sexual needs.

Despite her behaviour of his mother towards Gein, he loved her idolatrously. Which may stem from his mothers indoctrination that every woman was a whore and not to be looked at or even noticed, so Geins desire and love were directed at his mother. The relationship only strengthened when Geins mother suffered a stroke after the death of Geins brother and she became dependent on his help. 

Mundays mother was also abusive. However, instead of leaving her, he visited her regularly and supervised her transfer to the senior home. Even there he came to visit her, more or less, regularly. Before that, she might have been dependent on Hectors help. After Lucinda was diagnosed with cancer, Munday did kill her (as mentioned above out of mercy, it was an act out of love). Furthermore, Munday mourned her death, so it even affected his work as a profiler.

As I said, this is less about Geins murders and more about his other crimes. Gein exhumed bodies (he confessed to 40) and built furniture and made clothes out of them. 

Du’Met exhumed the bodies of his mother and Sherman to build animatronics out of them. That reminds me more of Anatoly Yuryevich Moskvin and his corpse dolls.

The way I interpreted Toby’s “creepypasta name” being Ticci Toby was that being the name the media gave him. Like Jack the Ripper. Maybe after he killed his dad and was suspected of murder, so people who knew him from school were bound to get interviewed and the name gets around . . . That’s mostly how I interpret all of them. Like I don’t really think Jeff walked around like “heh… call me… JEFF THE KILLER!!!!” Or Jack formally requests people call him eyeless jack LOL

I am curious on how other people think abt it cuz I’ve seen people say that was him trying to reclaim it as his own, or in general using it as something he chose to go by rather than something that was stuck on him. It’s a shitty name but that’s kind of the point in a sense …?!! Dunno

#chatterbox #hmmm hm hm hm #I suppose people don’t really give serial killers nicknames After their real name is confirmed though #I really gotta post my nurse Ann rewrite omfg #it’s prob one of the darker ones tho

Do you think William took trophies? A toy from Fritz or a hair band from Cassidy. Small things that no one would question nor notice him having.

But he'd know.

Do you think he'd smile with pride as he watched Lizzy play with Suzy's doll, completely oblivious to how he got it? Or happily sigh while he watched Mike put Gabe's keychain on his backpack? Small gifts for his bunnies, a reminder of why he'd done it.

Or maybe he'd keep them for himself.

Hoarded in his office, away from the inoccent eyes of his remaining children. For him and him alone, a memento of the fun he had with them. Do you think he looked longingly at them, wishing to do it again, as he filled out the missing persons paperwork for the company? Or maybe dusted his most prized possessions as he thought of how to give his condolences to their parents?

#there are so many interesting things you could do #if you applied real serial killer logic to William #I wish fan works utilized it more #william afton headcanon #fnaf #five nights at freddy's #william afton #headcannon #michael afton #elizabeth afton #the missing children #fnaf headcanons #my headcanons #afton family

Appropriate: Evan Peters was very good as Jeffrey Dahmer in the new television show, he was very chilling and evil. He’s a talented actor.

Absolutely disgustingly inappropriate: uhhh Dahmer is Daddy, so hot 😩 want him to murder me, I’m going to make edits and fancams of him/actors playing him because he’s my pathetic meow meow

#listen I find Evan Peters hot but not as Jeffrey fucking Dahmer what the fuck is wrong with you people #evan peters #dahmer #dahmer netflix #jeffrey dahmer #differentiate between the actor and the real life serial killer I am BEGGING YOU

Pic context: Talking about the exy stadium at USC considering the fact that USC is a real school

I love how Nora just invents things in order to avoid complications with real-life things.

Like, using USC's football stadium as the exy stadium too would take a lot of work to figure out how that would be possible. Solution: invent a new stadium!

Having the characters play a real sport that already exists would mean looking into all the rules and regulations and history, etc, and there could be multiple elements of the sport that work against the plot of the story or complicate it in some way. Solution: invent a new sport!

I mean, it gives her full creative control over what happens in the story, and we as readers get to learn about a cool new thing without feeling the need to fact-check every element. Tbh, it makes so much sense to me.

Like, go off! Make stuff up! It's your world. We're just reading and enjoying and becoming obsessed with it!!!

#also the fact that palmetto state university is made up #it's based on an actual college but it doesnt actually exist lol #and again i think that makes sense #it allows us to become immersed in this fiction story even though it takes place in our world #i think having these elements unique to that world also makes it easier to go along with the plot #like imagine if neil was being hunted by his serial killer father and the yakuza while attending the university of south carolina #and playing hokey or lacrosse or smth #the made up stuff helps woth the immersion imo #anyway i just wanted to point out how funny it was that her solution is to make stuff up #like makes sense 100% work smarter not harder #tbh if the series wasnt centered around a fake sport i prob wouldnt have read it 💀 #like im just being real here #so thank you nora for going through the trouble of creating a whole new sport #bc im sure that was the final thing that convinced many people to read it (i.e. me) #anyway rant over #aftg #all for the game #nora sakavic #the sunshine court #tsc #the foxhole court #the raven king #the kings men #exy

This fandom needs to back off of Matt Donovan and Zach Roerig

Starting with the ridiculous: Zach Roerig and Julie Plec never dated. It's ridiculous that I have to say this. There is a blurry picture of him leaning in to Julie Plec at some point. I even tried to do the work for you all and could not find one shred of evidence of an actual kiss. Y'all are just wild for this rumor. If anything, my search revealed that Ian and Zach were in a relationship. I mean look at that affection.

Also, with just a tiny bit of research, we can find out that Zach was in a relationship when he started the show and, due to issues at home, he ends up fighting for full custody of his two year old daughter while on the show. The only romantic connection there is any reports on is with Candice King and that was relatively short lived. Otherwise Zach was just a single father, trying to raise and support his daughter.

Now people will try to say Zach is racist as well. I've heard he was racist because of dating Plec. See earlier paragraph. Or that he made racist comments to Kat. Again, there is zero evidence of this. People keep pointing to this interview saying that he either does the Nazi salute or a black power fist and it is such a reach it's ridiculous. He is looking at Kat because the question asked related to Bonnie and Matt and he reaches forward as a hand gesture and then raises his fist in a fairly generic way.

I can't tell if people get Matt Davis and Zach confused because he plays Matt or if people just love to hate on Zach because he plays Matt. Either way, it is disgusting to spread rumors about someone being racist when there is no evidence as far as I can tell. It's also terrible to distract from the actual racism that Kat had to deal with on the show.

From every interview I've seen he seems like such a sweet person. He even said working on the show was a "healing process" and yet the fandom treats him like this. Zach goes to the panels and none of his coworkers seem uncomfortable and avoid him. Not that them liking someone means that person is good, most of them still interact with Matt Davis and yet unfollowed Michael Malarkey.

Now onto Matt Donovan.

First of all, the fact that y'all pretend this man isn't attractive tells me all I need to know. Objectively, Zach Roerig is attractive. You can not like his character but you all just sound goofy.

The biggest complaint with Matt is that he is "useless," but this to me just shows you are watching the show for either the romance or attractive people and not for storytelling.

The role of the "human" in fantasy is so important. We, as an audience, are humans and we need to have a threshold character. A character that reminds of that even though we are rooting for the supernatural creatures, they are still not the good guys. It's why supernatural stories often revolve around humans. It gives the show the humanity that it would be in danger of losing if it just focused on the predatory species. Matt reminds us of the humanity that is at stake in the show.

Matt is particularly important in this show because he not only the sole human in a pack of supernatural creatures, but he is the only one without financial privilege in TVD. Matt not only comes from a family that is struggling financially, but his parents are gone and his sister is struggling with addiction. Matt is working it appears full time while in high school full time. All of his friends are going to parties and given cars and clothes, planning for college; while Matt is having to figure out how to afford his mom's mortgage/rent. Season 1 opens up focusing on how much Elena is struggling with the death of her parents but dismissed Matt's struggles as some lovesick teenager. When in reality Elena at least had a support system. Sure Jeremy was spiraling like Vicki, but Elena and Jeremy had Jenna. Matt was struggling with the purposeful abandonment of his parents and his sister's drug addiction with zero support system. He even loses his childhood friends when Elena and he break up. He only really has Tyler, who, let's be honest is not the best friend in Season 1.

He is also the first person in the show to lose someone due to the supernatural. His sister ends up attacked and in the hospital and he then has to figure out how to pay for that while taking care of Vicki who is clearly struggling even more than normal. When Vicki does end up dead, he knows there is more too it and the entire town, including his friends, gaslight him. Matt has every right to hate vampires. They murdered his sister in cold blood.

Matt is so devastated by Vicki's death that is haunts him throughout the show. He even risks his life just to talk to her ghost for a few moments.

People say Matt hates the supernatural, and he did, but he had reasons. And despite that, he was always there for his friends. Even when he was terrified, and in much more of a risk than his vampire friends, he was always there for them.

Yes, Matt is the one driving the truck when Elena dies and Stefan saves Matt over Elena, but none of that is Matt's fault. He was attempting to save his friend's life with Jeremey's help. How is that any different than Elena having Stefan compel Jeremy to leave town? Let's also not forget who helps Elena feed in her early days. But the fandom never wants to give him credit for that.

Matt is constantly used, berated, manipulated, and compelled by the supernatural around him. Mystic Falls needed someone like Matt to stand up for them since they were unaware of the supernatural world. Even the "good vampires" killed humans. Matt was trying to protect his town.

The last complaint ties it all in, that Matt only survived so long on the show because he was dating Julie Plec. Again, that's a lie. He never dated Julie, and it especially had nothing to do with the show writing. I would also like to point out that the character Matt is based on, Matt Honeycutt, in the book never dies. So why are we surprised he doesn't die in the show? Matt had a lot of close calls and even had a Gilbert ring for protection. No one ever asks why Steven McQeen (Jeremy) doesn't die or assumes it's because he was "sleeping his way to the top." These assumptions are immature and baseless.

All Matt wants to do is live a normal life, something he had to fight much harder than the rest of them for. He is the most consistent friend out of all of them. People love to say "how did Matt get so many girls?" Because he's nice. Because he respected them and fought for them, even if they didn't deserve it. They would all have been better off ending up with Matt.

Honestly, Matt and Cami's purpose are similar to me and both of the actors deserve such a huge apology from this fandom. Some of y'all need to learn to separate a show from reality.

#some of you all need to chill #making up lies about real life people is wild #it's okay that you're mad he pulled more than your favs #he was just a kid trying to survive #why are you all so mad that he made it #most of your favs got to live for hundreds/thousands of years #let Matt have his normal 80 something human years #this fandom acts like being human is a crime #and men having emotions is worse than being literal serial killers #the vampire diaries #the originals #tvd #tvdu

How do you in good conscience simp for a sociopath who kills people for his own amusement?

Well, I mean you know Homelander is a fictional character right? He's not real, he's not out there disintegrating real people.

People are allowed to like characters without having to justify their reasons. I can like whatever I want, just as you are allowed to dislike the same thing. It's a crazy world out there.

Do you guys think that Jigsaw gets letters from fans suggesting different people to get put in his traps?

Imagine you show up to work one day and your least favorite colleague is missing: “Yeah, she spread some rumors while chatting around the water cooler. Jigsaw made her rip out her own tongue to reveal the locks combination tattooed on the bottom. I think she’s due back in on Monday”
