it feels like zombie movies aren’t allowed to take place in a world where zombie fiction exists, because when characters are pointing at the walking dead and going “oh hey it's the walking dead like in the hit tv show The Walking Dead” it really lowers the tension

conversely werewolf movies are encouraged to take place in a world where werewolf fiction exists, because when someone's been reading up on lycanthropy and later they find themselves getting all shaggy and toothy and stuff, they know how bad things’re about to be for them and everyone else around them

we watched The Slender Man recently and there is a scene where a character consults the Slender Man Wiki to figure out what they’re dealing with

I really appreciate that the event is outside with a streaming option—the only safe ways to do things since covid is not over.

So I'm planning to attend at least one of the two days, schedule permitting. See you there!

Usually !!con sells out quickly, but this year they took a principled stance against the bird site and are seeing very low traffic. !!Con is the best conference out there, come buy tickets and send it out in style!

this sounds cool yet it's really upsetting that this, xoxo festival (also largely called The Best Convention Out There) are all.. shutting down while the extremely terrible commercialized ones are ongoing???

this seems like... the opposite of what we should be doing??? maybe im just naive

making me so mad how shitty we're all being to BIPOC on here

why'd we even fucking leave twitter if we were gonna act like this? quit fucking up this website by harassing people because you're insecure or w/e

literally not hard to just Not Post Stupid Shit, if you get the impulse just go breathe, look in a mirror and ask yourself "what am I trying to accomplish'
