New pin post:

DMs are fine if they’re Platonic and not to solicit art commissions or anything else. I’m a lesbian and have a life partner, so please respect that.

Spooky movie rec day 10

I actually just now learned this was Mike Flanagan looking up the cover art, lol. Anyway, Absentia (2011), much like yesterday’s Relic, is a film that wears other themes on its sleeve (loss, in this case) while the horror simmers to a boil in the background. Creature feature

No, very little resemblance at all! I get comments like this about my girlfriend too. I wonder if men with men hear the same thing?

It’s fantastic, lots of fun. One of the only games I know of that not only has a hidden traitor mechanic but a spreading one where the traitor can make more traitors secretly.

trust. They go to the fridge to get one. There’s an infected pile and an uninfected pile. Infected give out infected shots obviously.

Same happens for the third round.

Then I dunno, guess we just reveal who was infected at the end. Dumb silly fun. Mostly just gonna be playing board games 🤷‍♀️

My GF and I’s Halloween party idea:

You get jello shots (in a petri dish) at the door. 2-3 of them have peppermint in them (random). Taste it and it means you’re The Thing.

At 2 later intervals you get another one, but here’s the thing: you can’t retrieve it yourself. You must pick someone you

Day 9 spooky film rec.

Relic (2020) is an excellently shot, surreal slow burner that keeps dialing up the dread until even the rules of reality themselves shatter in a climactic, claustrophobic, liminal climax—and then a surprisingly strange, almost tender ending. Wonderful film
