hang on to every single aborted half-finished flimsy unrefined story/narrative/oc idea u have ever gotten obsessed w for 36 hours and then set aside like "idk how i'm ever going to use this. oh well", and/or every story bit u ever test drove for a while but then got bored of/outgrew but always thought a little longingly about, etc, bc maybe one day u are goign to get nailed straight in the forehead w the cumulative story idea that instantly combines like literally every single one of them. i do not guarantee that story will be good but what can u do
characters have to be a little bit awful in ways that you cant defend. its good for the ecosystem. your honor he did do that. He did in fact do that
I think the fact that it was not The Dracula Squad with their solid fire-forged bonds (e.g Arthur would never treat Mina and Jonathan like that esp while they were seeking to bring Lucy's killer to justice, Van Helsing did the opposite of prompting a girl to self-sacrifice), makes Nosferatu a case study of why the friendships in Dracula were what killed Dracula and saved Mina both. Plus how essential is the cowboy.
I was 100% with you on this take until the Quincey slander, Anon. Cowboys are always essential.
I finally saw Nosferatu and while I loved it visually it sort of lost me about halfway through? It was still a good film and I’ll probably watch it again now that I know not to expect a 100% novel adaptation. I went in more or less blind and hadn’t even seen the trailer because I wanted to avoid spoilers.
Anyway, even though this movie is the closest I will ever get to having a canon Happily Married Art/Lucy (for a while at least ;-;) it did however not have enough scurrying like a lizard, nor an expy for Quincey which is a war crime
I was scared for Greta the cat the entire film though but she made it!!!
I had this in my drafts for quite some time now, it's from last year when I did a big rewatch of LOST (best tv show ngl) and I drew this idea from season 1 or so 😂😭

kidnapping stalking insanity sleepwalking cannibalism and teeth, gaslighting gun violence pipe murder and silence and medical trauma and meat. bugs in your body and poisoned black coffee and self-mutilation and lies, police brutality breaks from reality suicide spiders and eyes. paaaaaranoia degloving the uncanny valley and running like prey to survive, agonies torture and drowning and falling and then being buried alive.
his whoreish tendencies and huge nose have captivated me
Do you have a "favourite" physical trait to give to your OCs? If so, what is it?
