What if they’re really good at sucking at video games

I bet you’d feel really foolish then

I feel the need to flex that a previous comment of mine may have inspired this post

This is awful. Just plain awful.

The logic of this makes no sense. Scooby clearly demonstrates basic intelligence and sentience throughout every official iteration of the show. Combined with cartoon logic, he would likely just comically zoom out of there once he realizes that he can indeed operate door handles, or that there is some sort of Scooby snack or STACKED sandwich somewhere outside. So even if there would be a joke about Scooby realizing he doesn’t have the opposable thumbs to operate the door handles (even though dogs IRL have demonstrated they can open more complex door handles, latches, and other mechanisms,) Scooby could also just punch a Scooby-sized hole in the van to get to his prized hobby of eating.

A far more realistic “dark” take would be something akin to who made Scooby sick by feeding him so much food that’s bad for dogs, though again I’d argue he’s demonstrated an iron stomach.

Then who did the surgery on my son??

Wizard, cease casting your aging spells upon me. My bones are already so brittle…

My personal hell - I hate ska. I never could quite pick it up pick it pick it up

Grieve. Feel it. That’s love. It hurts and it’s heavy, but that’s just the cost of them moving from a physical reality to one of memory and emotion. Don’t shut it out - mitigate it if you have to, bit by bit. But grief, to me, has never been about those you love leaving, that’s just them knocking at your heart’s door, asking to be let in.

It’s figmover

this is the heart-warming romcom I want for christmas this year

yes but it requires an AI-generated image

It’s funny because it’s true

Possibility? I thought we knew this was happening for real?

can’t even have a public wank in peace anymore what is the world coming to

if this is true, then why am I not genocidal against people who can’t get none

“I don’t know, I was too busy thinking about you”

(Pre-amble, I don’t think the meme should be taken seriously and I do find it funny)

Horror is my favourite genre because it genuinely seeks to express the most primal and furious of all emotions: fear. From the goriest, straight-forward splatter fest to the subtlest discomforts of tense artsy horror films, the popular and cult favourite movies offer a fantastic reflection of that generation/culture’s deepest vulnerabilities.

Slashers like Friday the 13th were about the internalized self-criticism of modern, white Judea-Christian values (pre-marital sex, drugs, etc) and Nightmare on Elm Street was about parents, society, the government, etc, being unable and unwilling to help with the problems they created, problems that turn lethal. Suicide due to depression from repression, OD’ing from drugs because you need a way out, getting killed because you got mixed up with the “wrong” crowd at the wrong time, these were all things that happened to people because the “system” pushed you into a corner, and vilified any means you sought to escape.

Even “torture porn” like Saw was about feeling trapped and what extremes you’d take to “free” yourself. Terrifier, too, can offer a reflection of extreme violence offering some form of release.

Backrooms and Obsession are so relevant because they too talk about our fears of being trapped in the endlessly mundane, or attachments that we cling to beyond the safety of ourselves and others.

This is a really general rant so I’ve glossed over and even ignored so many nuances. Not to mention that I’m really not eloquent enough to really hit every nail on the head… and each person will pull their own unique experiences from horror.

I genuinely love it when people find something they can connect with in horror, regardless of what generation or subgenre they find.

edit: head not hand

what is gen alpha on

I won’t get it but tell me like I would. Make me feel young again
