Dear Abraham,
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
I would have screamed
I would have rebelled
I would have chased God away throwing stones at his back
I would never have even thought of hurting my child
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
Do you know how many parents have followed your lead?
Setting their gay children,
Their trans children,
Their beautiful innocent children
Down on an altar because you, monster, did it first?
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
Why couldn’t you see what an evil it was?
Don’t you know what a parent is for? To love, to protect?
I’d have stood between God and my child like a lioness protecting my lamb from slaughter,
I’d have roared at him for daring even to ask,
I would never have relied on the mercy of an evil thing that demanded child-blood spilt in its honor
I wouldn’t have done it,
And that’s all I’m going to say.
I really do think dracula daily/re: dracula is the best way to experience dracula the book, because it adds an entirely new level of horror and dread that a book can never truly achieve.
Because, instead of simply reading through the book in one go, you have to wait along with it. You get to see Jonathan express his terror in real time, and experience the dread of days going by with no news from him, wondering what could possibly be going on in the time you hear nothing.
Like it’s a level of horror of the unknown storytelling that Bram Stoker never could have imagined and it adds an entirely new experience to the story and i just think it’s neat
(nothing between me and god except a thin panel of aquarium glass) ahem *bonk* hey *bonk* excuse me *loud thunk* i have questions about the nature of things
a list of “ship tropes” that aren’t really tropes yet per se, but I need them to be
Kind, gentle man+ eldritch monster/horrifying werewolf/scaly abomination/hairy Creature wife
Battle couple whose respective fighting styles are “stealth, silence, precision and cunning” and “walking tank with a gun as big as they are” respectively
Mad scientist+mad scientist in a different branch of science
Regular scientist+actual wizard
Human+ alien and/or robot who is discovering what Emotions are
Lithe, androgynous elf guy+ bearded, hunky dwarf girl
Succubus/incubus and angel, except all the Love and Affection stuff is new to the succubus/incubus and they are adgftbnjgfsfvhjj inside
big, hairy werewolf jock girl+ regular boy who is soft and cute
big, hairy werewolf jock girl+ edgy, chiseled-jaw werewolf guy who kisses her hand and lays his head in her lap
realistic “Alpha male and female” werewolves who just are super affectionate with each other and have a really big, boisterous family
two heavily autistic-coded dragons with completely different hoards which regularly bring one another gifts to go in their hoard
mild-mannered, introverted naturalist+ Bigfoot
very normal atheist+ actual minor god
large orc girl+tiny human girl who is strong, athletic and likes to Fight
superhero’s costume/outfit designer+supervillain’s costume/outfit designer
PhD’s without a braincell’s worth of practical knowledge between them
If a history-based work is good and inaccurate it’s because it’s a piece of art that sacrificed some points of accuracy for the sake of storytelling and conveying themes deeper and more important than a straightforward recounting of facts. If it’s bad and inaccurate then that’s just another reason why it sucks
There’s thousands of people out there right now crying about a dog that was sent to space. I’m one of them too. She’s been dead for so long but we made art about her. We made songs for her. We named new puppies after her. We put up a statue in her honor.
How can you say humanity is inherently evil when we still mourn for a dog that died in 1957? We love you Laika.
The plot structures of movies need to start taking more cues from classic opera. Open with a fucker in a hat who directly addresses the audience and explains what's going on in a way that raises far more questions than it answers, then immediately drop the viewer into the middle of a shouting argument between three of the weirdest people you can possibly imagine.
