its 4am but i cant sleep and im still salty. decided to give the Until Dawn movie a shot since i figured i might just have my nostalgia goggles on and maybe it isnt as bad as im epecting it to be ...nevermind, its bad. not even just as an adaptation, but like. in general. its nowhere near the worst offender out of the horror movies ive seen (that title goes to Tsunambee...dear god, Tsunambee...) and ultimately its really not that awful but it really is just. there. it has an interesting concept but somehow they made it unenjoyable. i havent seen a main character so cardboard since Nick FD4, and thats saying something anyways-WHY TF WAS THIS AN UNTIL DAWN MOVIE???? THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH EACH OTHER BESIDES THE WNDIGOES, WHICH LIKE. I WOULD BARELY CALL THE MOVIE ONES THAT. WHERE IS THE LODGE??? WHERE IS THE SNOW????? WHO ARE THESE PEOPLE??????? THIS ISNT SAM, MIKE, JESS, MATT, EMILY, CHRIS, JOSH AND ASHLEY THATS SALLY, MITCH, JEAN, MILO, EMILIA, CAL, JOHN AND ASH VS EVIL DEAD. GET THEM OFF MY SCREEN also they tried to incorporate Dr. Hill as like, an actual character? even though hes just a hallucination??? im really wondering if the people who made this movie actually played the game or if they watched one trailer and went "yeah i think we've got it"

every day im baffled that they made this choice. erin hunter please get that man away from her

No actually those are EXACTLY my thoughts thank you 😭 This kind of thing is nothing new unfortunately-the "ignoring female characters to ship/obsess over male characters" thing I mean. Hell, the grandpa of og fandom shipping Spirk actually got its feet off the ground because people didnt wanna ship Spock with his actual, female love interest (a more recent example that comes to mind is Slay the Princess-its a beautiful tragic love story...and people are out here shipping the voices????) People have been throwing actual media literacy to the wolves in favor of shipping for years, trust me. I was on Tumblr in the 2010s...it was not pretty...I still have nightmares Bro if i have to see one more Curly thirst trap im gonna LOSE IT 😭 we get one single glimpse of him and people start foaming at the mouth even though hes a flesh mummy for %99 of the game (also i fear to inform you that I Have No Mouth and I Must scream does indeed have a fandom...and it does indeed include shipping. i dont get it either) but yeah its one of my biggest peeves. i dont have anything against shipping, ffs i do it all the time, and in a lot of cases it can lend to a really interesting interpretation of the source material...but the problem is that it usually ISNT that. a lot of the time people will completely ignore a piece of media's actual message or content because theyre tunnel-visioning finding a pairing of characters that a lot of the time completely goes against what the original thing was trying to say in the first place

okay absolutely nobody asked and this has nothing to do with anything i said before but its kinda bonkers to me that Mouthwashing has like. an actual fandom. one big enough to be somewhat notable. not that theres anything wrong with that but i never imagined an indie psychological horror game would spawn THAT kind of fanbase like this is a psychological horror game that digs into your soul and rips you open how the hell did it attract the people who think about yaoi too much???? how in the world do you play this game and your biggest takeaway is "OMG TOXC YAOI!!!"??????? honestly the idea of shipping anyone in this game is baffling to me because almost every single option sucks somehow. theres five whole characters and that includes: useless captain, 19 year old with little brother energy, world's most miserable nurse, middle aged man with a wife and literally the worst guy to ever exist ever. none of these combos appeal to me in the slightest you know what?? if we HAVE to ship something then i suggest useless captain X midle aged man. except nobody is ready for that conversation. theyre too feeble minded for my yaoi

go ahead. i get it 😔

okay actually i do wanna share this Snowdove art because its killing me. man she got a glowup

oh my god i found some art from like 2020 that i never posted it is the ugliest thing ive ever seen but man is it nostalgic luckily its locked away forever and will never see the light of day. i can rest easy knowing that ig

looking back at some of my old art and its like. wow. somehow ive gotten worse???? not all of my old stuff obviously, a lot of my early forum art (especially my TAS art) is HORRENDOUS but the period of time for maybe like a year after i got my drawing tablet i actually really dont hate most of it, in fact i think it looks BETTER than %99 of my current art??? wtf happened good lord

bro i was listening to music while i was drawing last night, half asleep, and suddenly i was jumpscared by THIS WHY WAS THIS IN MY PLAYLIST??? WHEN DID I ADD THIS??? IT SCARED THE HELL OUT OF ME DUDE I THOUGHT I WAS GETTING CHASED BY A HUMONCULUS WOMAN WITH A GIANT SHARD OF GLASS FOR A SPLIT SECOND this song is banger though. my favorite out of the soundtrack. literal scariest chase music ive ever heard in my life

HALLELUJAH

its been hours and im still seething over a winx club character i think theres something wrong with me. my child self's investment is coming back this is how i feel every time i see the two within a 20 foot radius of each other

i also feel this way about Tigerheartstar warrior cats but i fear that one would get me burned at the stake

every time i learn certain characters have defenders im baffled. and i dont mean fans i mean DEFENDERS theres a difference (liking a character whos a bad person or does bad things doesnt mean you condone their actions and all that) like goddamn RIVEN FROM WINX CLUB??? REALLY???? THERES SO AMANY CHARACTERS AND THATS THE GUY YOU CHOOSE TO LATCH ON TO???? I dont. i dont understand. my neurodivergent self was 7 years old and even i was baffled by the red flags. "JUST BREAK UP IM BEGGING YOU!!!" little me yelled at the screen literally every time he appeared. you know its bad when your friends are calling your boyfriend a waste of air sorry i did NOT mean to go on a winx club rant i just. i hate that stupid fairy. i hate his stupid hair and his stupid voice im gonna start pulling my hair out over this

tbh i think re8 had a lot of missed opportunities in general but if i start on that we'll be here forever

its 1am but i just remembered that Ada was supposed to be in re8 and then they cut her and im still pissed LIKE LOOK AT THIS

HAPPY BIRTHDAY HEATHER MASON!!!! Silent hill 3 came out 22 years ago today so of course i had to draw something because its my favorite SH game (and one of my favorite games in general tbh) love this girl. one of my favorite characters in anything ever. sorry about the horrors sweetie

my only exposure to it is the Snapcube fandub and i thought all the jokes they were making about Sonic dating the human were. well. jokes 😭i did NOT expect it be an actual plot point everything i learn about this franchise just confuses me. like what is it even about. how did this all come from a sega genesis game where you roll around and collect rings

ive never played a Sonic game in my life but apparently theres one where he dates a human? i mean. i guess theres technically nothing wrong with it but im not sure how i feel

So fun story: Im sick again. with the same thing. yeah its not as bad as last time but its still pretty bad. im just trying to wait it out. fml

aint no way i just saw a tiktok discouraging applying human morality to dolphins and the comments were calling them an "apologist" WHAT i think humanity might be screwed theres no way we're at a point where we're advocating to exterminate dolphins

MY BROTHERS STUPID DOG JUST SMASHED THE TV IM SO DONE

HES INNOCENT!!!! 🙏

every time i find out a youtuber i watch did something bad i can feel my brain start turning to mush. why does this keep happening honestly unless theyve done something REALLY bad i just kinda learned to stop giving a damn-if youre an even slightly known youtuber youre gonna get something attached to you, ffs one guy i watched got a callout video made on him because he didnt like skibidi toilet 😭its always gonna be SOMETHING

im gonna be completely transparent that second part is about Nancy Wheeler Stranger Things

I get attached to a female character> I google her/look for fanart on Tumblr or whatever> %80 of what pops up is people talking about how much they hate her> I sit there confused and sad> I contemplate the way all nuance in a character apparently goes out the window when that character is a woman> I stick to like the 4 places/people that actually like her> Repeat seriously i feel like i go through this every time i get into something new. why does this keep happening. do you know how much it sucks to put your favorite character's name into the youtube search bar and the first thing that pops up is "why [insert character] is A HORRIBLE PERSON AND SHOULD DIE!!!!" and its some stuff like telling her boyfriend he sucks because well, shes right, he sucks
