giving this my monsterfucker seal of approval
I will wear it like a badge of honor.
unexpectedly gory and strangely...well, strange and entertaining. not saying I agree with it, but I enjoyed it. Huh. Strange.
Thank you for playing and sharing your thoughts. I am taking every single bit of this comment as a compliment, even the disagreement. That is a healthy reaction.
Healthy, and it is indeed a compliment. I guess that's what you feel when playing a horror-comedy.
oh, this is strangely sweet and i do hope that saying that doesn't put me on some kind of list. tempted to write an essay on how its a metaphor for the stress of social performativeness and link it to some deeply wild and obscure psychological theory.
Thank you and welcome to the list that we are presumably both now on!
If you wrote such an essay then you'd officially have thought about it more than I did. I started from a philosophy of "Wouldn't it be great if Pennywise made out with Pinhead?" and went from there.
Well, also "there's somebody out there for everyone" and "something something queer journey something." Mostly it was inappropriate crushes on horror movie monsters though.
