One of my favorite movie memories was standing in an absolutely packed theater lobby with my dad on a cold December night waiting to see this. For a 7 yr old kid, this movie was pure magic

Maybe it's easy to forget this as we all wade through the shit-flooded zone that is 2025 but "this country sucked and I, personally, made it great again" is basic entry-level fascism, and "this country sucked because of dirty criminal immigrants who I am now punishing" is actual fascism

Redemption is, sometimes, even more critical concept than regret. It's very important for me that regretful characters must genuinely WORK towards rehabilitation of any kind - even if it involves a load of sacrifices and agonies to undertake.

Regret is often paired with redemption. What horrors must your characters face to earn it? *Can* they earn it?

Regret is a worthless emotion. An anchor that ties you to the past if you linger on it. You can't change the past. But you can let past failures inform future choices. And if you want redemption, you have to own your failures, accept responsibiliy & consequences, and move on.

#Regret is a constant state of looking behind and looking inside and never feeling at peace or satisfied. Regret is an unfilled, unfillable hole that you try to fill with tears and words but you cannot. You can only write around a hole of regret. It cannot be pictured as it is. #horrorwriterschat
You walk within the glacier, but it feels like you’re sinking. The whispers shiver inside you. Faces are writ on the ice. Of those you’ve disappointed. Hurt.
The glacier is more curious.
How do you depict regret in a character? Does it manifest in environments, buildings, etc.?

Both seem to emerge naturally when I write, I think redemption is particularly important because it shows people can change, allows for their acceptance in society.

You enter this gnarled gash. The ice emits a susurrus you find familiar – they speak of your life. Of your past. Forever slipping your grasp.
But the ice is also… curious.

#HorrorWritersChat Q2:
I think the most interesting part of regret is how long it can linger. How normal it can feel. The mundanity of living in regret and then the moment when the dam finally breaks.

Regret is a sore tooth for my characters. Always there, lurking until something reminds them with that little stab of pain. Waiting for the probe of finger or tongue to see if it still hurts. Then obsessing about it but not doing anything useful to address the source.

I think redemption plays a pretty big role in my work--some people deserve it and get it. Some people very much do not, and they get what's coming to them, typically.

We are freezing to death. The storm ripped away our tent and left us out in the open, our bodies shivering our kids suffocating from the frost
We need $150 for a tent and warmth before we lose our lives
