I Think Getting Vampire Fangs Should Be Considered A Gender Affirming Procedure

I think an underrated horror trope is “insular christian cult worshipping something that slowly reveals itself to be Very Much Not God”.  I think it speaks something to the bastardized nature of american christian sects like southern baptist and others. I think in a lot of ways the way colonialism pairs with christianity in the americas really makes it demonic in ways that horror makes powerful statements about.

this is out of left field but a book rec list!! specifically, books that have to deal with consumption of women/cannibalism/ecofeminist themes (basically, feminist, food-centric horror)

1. The Vegetarian by Han Kang

This book is SO good but definitely check the trigger warnings. Told from three different perspectives, it follows a woman after she has a life-altering dream that makes her go vegetarian, much to the dismay of her family. The thing that stuck with me most about this book is how it portrays the normalized but profound betrayals by men that women experience. It’s a mix of “The Yellow Wallpaper” and My Year of Meats

2. My Year of Meats by Ruth Ozeki

Another meat-centric book! This one switches between two women, one in America and one in Japan, as they navigate the world of meat consumption and how patriarchy and misogyny are reflected in it. There’s a very mixed-media feel to this as every section starts with a poetry excerpt by Sei Shonogan and one of the main characters, Jane Takagi-Little, is directing a series on American meat consumption to promote eating meat in Japan. All of Ruth Ozeki’s books are wonderful so if you like this, you should read them all.

3. Tender is the Flesh by Agustina Bazterriva

This one is straight up cannibalism. It’s about a man, Marcos, who works at a meat processing plant that makes “special meat” (human) and is gifted a “specimen” for him to eventually slaughter himself. The specimen is a woman, Jasmine, who Marcos eventually forms a relationship with. This one is overtly dystopian and although certainly very dark, a little more palatable because it allows the reader to feel more distant from the reality of the book. Of course, though, there is till some very striking commentary on the abuse and exploitation of animals, women, and people as a whole.

4. What Moves the Dead by T. Kingfisher

This one is different from the others in that the consumption comes from fungus and not literal people, but there’s still a deep-seated sense of rot. The main character, Alex Easton, returns to the ancestral home of their childhood friend as they learn she’s dying. There is a distinct supernatural element to this, but still very heavy with animal and body horror.

5. A Certain Hunger by Chelsea Summers

Dorothy Daniels, the main characters, is a food critic, sex lover, and psychopath. This one, again, explores the relationship between the treatment of women as sexual beings and commercialized consumption. Also, again, cannibalism. However, this one is very White Feminism, so take that into mind.

all of these books are very good but all have very heavy trigger warnings, so please please look them up before reading. happy reading, my pals <3

trying to come out with a joker design of my own but if he was gayer and worked at the circus or something

thing we were robbed of seeing

- hannibal going apeshit and killing people with a hammer

- hannibal tucking will into bed, changing his clothes, and gently taking care of him before Will woke up (maybe hand on his cheek, kiss on his forehead....)

- them fucking nasty at [insert any scene]

- them kissing before the fall

- hannibal nightmare sequence of mischa

- hannibal's trial with him and will eyefucking the entire time

- will with a Louisiana/southern accent

- will cleaning the blood off his face after killing gjh, shaking and terrified

- will cleaning up and changing clothes but not tending to his knuckles after killing tier

- another scene of Hannibal getting the shit beat out of him (by anyone tbh)

- any mention of the other dog names

- a day in abigail's life after her faked death

the fact that, in the middle of fighting frieza, vegeta realized that saiyans become stronger after recovering from a near death experience and decides to mortally wound and then heal himself a couple of times like he’s exploiting a video game glitch is really funny

posting some old art rn while im working on my ultrakill halloween post

me writing: i am a god and reality bends to my whims

me proofreading: im too stupid to be alive

society if we got snapshots from will and molly’s wedding paralleled with hannibal’s first day in bshci. molly stepping into her white dress and donning a veil in nervous laughter surrounded by her mother and perhaps a few friends, cut to hannibal in a bite mask telling the guards who has guns trained on him that “rest assured gentlemen, despite the nickname i was given i seldom bite, i save that for special occasions” as other orderlies strap him into an all-white straitjacket

they're divorced. they weren't even married. this isn't romantic. they're definitely not platonic. they're cinematic parallels. they are fighting the narrative. they slowly built their relationship. they rely and trust each other. they were aggressively thrown into this. they want to bite each other's head off. they kill for each other. they live for each other. they should kiss. they would put each other in a blender. they're insane. they don't even realise. they're fully aware it.
