So, back in April 1 James asked us to submit videos tagged #10YearsOfDeadMeat for a special anniversary video they were going to release on April...and then never talked about it again? I went through the YT posts and the comments on that video and couldn't find a thing. Did I somehow miss a big announcement??

I selected a few of my favorite movies (excluding the ones I rewatched recently and also the ones my 11-year-old brother can't watch). I made sure to pick ones my parents wouldn't hate too much xD ended up with these 5 movies, but I can't decide which one to pick!

•Corpse Bride

•Hocus Pocus

•Scooby-Doo on Zombie Island

•Spirited Away

•Wolfwalkers

Basically, I'm looking for songs similar to Changeling by Lydia the Bard. I also relate a lot to Abbey by Mitski so maybe something like that one too?

Doesn't have to be necessarily about autism/neurodivergency, just feelings of Otherness in general. Thanks in advance!

I seriously think experiencing this enough times gave me trust issues. There are some series that just stick with me, and when they're cancelled on a cliffhanger (which is what often happens), it's pretty much guaranteed they'll haunt me for years to come.

​

​

So I guess I wanted to know if anyone still thinks about any of these shows as much as I do. Don't take this as a recommendation list, unless you want to end up heartbroken like me 🤣

​

​

•Zoo (2015-2017, ran for 3 seasons before ending on a devastating cliffhanger. This is probably the most niche show on the list but I adored it, and I follow up on some of the cast to this day.)

​

​

•The Society (2019, cancelled after a single season. This show introduced me to Kathryn Newton, and she's now one of my favorite actresses! I think about the mystery of the plot often.)

​

​

•First Kill (2022, also only ran for one season, because Netflix just couldn't stand to see a biracial wlw couple actually succeed and had to keep renewing slop instead.)

​

​

•Santa Clarita Diet (2017-2019, ran for 3 seasons and seemed decently popular. I have no clue why this one was cancelled, but then again I could say the same for most of the shows here.)

​

​

•Girl From Nowhere (2018-2021, and NO, Netflix, making a completely unrelated show and slapping the same name on top of it doesn't make it not cancelled. This one's really underrated.)

​

​

•Kingdom (2019-2021, what's with zombie-related shows getting cancelled? This one had no business being so good tbh, it's one of my favorites in the zombie genre!)

​

​

•Wolf Like Me (2022-2023, ok I lied, this might be the most niche show here. It hasn't been officially cancelled but...yeah, I wouldn't bet on it happening. I think about the S2 cliffhanger at least once a month.)

​

​

I'm sure I've watched a ton more series that were cancelled, like Mindhunter, but these are the ones that got tattooed on my brain and refuse to be removed.

Vou tentar escrever aqui todas as informações relevantes e o que eu lembro sobre a revista.

Tenho 23 anos (nasci em 2002), sou de Salvador e comprei uma edição da revista Mundo Estranho numa livraria quando era criança (provavelmente a livraria Saraiva). Eu não sei quantos anos eu tinha, mas provavelmente não mais que 14, então isso deve ter sido por volta de 2015 (a revista foi descontinuada em 2018).

Coisas que eu lembro de ler nessa edição: Era muito focada em terror. Tinha uma parte com duas lendas urbanas, "a estátua de anjo" e "a menina e o cachorro." Posso resumir essas histórias se for ajudar! Essa segunda é uma lenda urbana famosa no exterior, chamada "The Licked Hand."

Outra parte falava sobre psicopatia infantil (eu nitidamente lembro um dos exemplos contando de um menino que matou o cachorro de uma garota que não quis ser sua namorada).

Eu realmente tentei me lembrar de como era a capa da revista pois acho que ajudaria bastante, mas não faço ideia...não acho que fosse nada muito assustador, se fosse meus pais não teriam deixado eu comprar kkkkkkk

I had no idea this sub existed! So long story short, I want to start learning how to make my own plushies, because I love stuffed animals but my country just doesn't have a big market for it so I have to buy online, where the cost translated into my currency + shipping is something I can't justify spending on a plushie.

I'm specifically thinking about making dinosaurs. They're a special interest of mine and I've wanted a feathered raptor plushie since forever, which is juust a little too niche for there to be any sewing tutorials readily available for it.

So where should I start? Any YouTube channels I should look into? What would be the best materials to use? My grandma and mom are both well-versed in sewing and have sewing machines available, and they would be happy to teach me how to use them, so I got that part covered!

I'll keep it vague bc of the rules but I'm looking for a sewing pattern that is behind a paywall. I have found a few resources to download files from this specific site, but they all say you need to already be subscribed to the paywalled site to download the files you want which makes them pretty redundant in this case.

I'm no stranger to piracy, it's just that I'm usually going for movies or games, never had to look for a sewing pattern before. I tried finding groups on Telegram since it's helped me with 3D printer files in the past but couldn't find any for sewing

What the hell do I even say? I feel like I just had a religious experience.

I'm thrilled, I'm depressed, I'm pondering, I'm yearning. I'm hungry for something that I can't name. I'm missing something I've never known.

I went into this book mostly blind. I only knew the most basic synopsis, and that it was vaguely inspired by Carmilla. I love Carmilla and all its variations, so that was enough for me. I was expecting a good, but typical, story about repressed desires. But this book is so much more than that.

I'll keep this as spoiler-free as possible, but I can say this: if you pick up this book looking for a love story, you're going to be disappointed. Hungerstone isn't about love, it's about desire. It's about the horror of being a woman. It's about going through your whole life suppressing everything that makes you a person, an oppression so strong that by the time you realize what's happening, you've been nothing but a walking corpse your entire life.

I've related to plenty of characters in media during my life. But I think this might be the first time I've understood a character so profoundly, even though Lenore's life is absolutely nothing like my own. In fact, were we to meet, I don't think I would like her very much at all. And yet I feel seen, somehow? It's like this book has unlocked something in me that I always knew existed but never had the words to verbalize.

I can't help but be reminded of the lyrics in Abbey, by Mitski, a song I've always identified with though I couldn't understand exactly why. "I am hungry. I have been hungry. I was born hungry. What do I need?"

Sorry, I know this post hasn't been much about Hungerstone at all, but I don't think I can even find the words to review it properly. Anything I say will pale in comparison to the experience of reading this book. I just can't recommend it enough.

Hello all! I just finished my yearly reading of Carmilla last night, and I've been thinking about how I'd tear out my own liver to have a big-budget, faithful adaptation of the book made.

I realized I don't actually have ideas for what my ideal cast or even crew would be like, except for the fact I'd want Diablo Cody to write it. I mean, can you imagine?? The absolute genius who gave us Jennifer's Body and Lisa Frankenstein (two very queer-coded movies)??? I would die a happy woman, I really would.

But alas, I'm terrible with names, and I really don't know a lot of directors at all, or even actresses that would be young enough to play the main roles.

I think Robert Eggers totally nailed the gothic atmosphere in his Nosferatu adaptation, and sure, Guillermo del Toro could probably do something really special with the visuals too, but honestly? This would absolutely rule with a female director as well as a writer. Can you even comprehend the things someone like Coralie Fargeat or Karyn Kusama could do with the imagery in Carmilla?!

So I guess my main questions would be about the cast after all. Like I said, I would want them to look young enough to play an 18/20 year old, and that rules out most of the actresses I do know and love. So like, I think Camila Mendes would look great as Carmilla for example, but she's 31 and besides, I think it would be really cool to cast unknown or upcoming young actresses in something like this!

No reason for the other roles to not be filled by beloved actors though, like the governesses and Laura's father, Carmilla's mother, etc. This could have some really cool cameos even. Like, get Natasha Lyonne and Uma Thurman to play Madame Perrodon and Mademoiselle De Lafontaine or something, that would be so fun!

I'm really curious to see what you all think 👀
