For some reason my brain can’t reconcile that this song exists outside of the game. Every note of this is branded on my subconscious. I’ve listened to this song more than I’ve listened to my own voice and yet it still manages to calm my body better than an anesthetic. I’m astral projecting - my thumbs are typing but my soul is playing Skyrim.
I was looking at it because I just got back into my mando roots and I refreshed the page to find nothing. That whole ‘this is all we found’ line with nothing except a few blogs. What gives tumblr I decide to stay on this hell site despite the attempt at nuking nsfw but then you take away my mandalorians? Di'kutla shabuir aruetiise!
Uncanny valley=things that aren’t normal almost getting it right
Third person limited view
Limited explanations
Rot, mold, damage, age, static, flickering, especially in places it shouldn’t be
Limited sights for your mc -blindness, darkness, fog, refuse
Real consequences
Being alone -the more people there are, the less scary it is
Intimate knowledge, but only on one side
I don’t know I just write scary things but I don’t know what I’m doing.
Rule of Thumb: your reader’s imagination will scare them more than anything you could ever write. You don’t have to offer a perfectly concrete explanation for everything at the end. In fact, doing so may detract from your story.
Telling the reader horrible things is never going to be as scary as giving them the tools to figure out those horrible things on their own. Ideally, you want them to figure out the twist just before the answer is revealed, to make the moment that much more powerful and memorable.
Horror can be a lot like a mystery, except the secret is almost always some form of “things are worse than you thought.”
Don’t give your readers answers.
Like. Some people are going to hate the shit out of that. But the stuff that I love to read and find creepiest is the stuff that makes me think of it years later going “but what the fuck WAS that?”
peter parker in the 2002 movie is fuckin…. incredible. he gets bitten by a fuckin jacked red blue spider and he doesnt say “hey someone should take me to the hospital mayhaps?” he just goes home. then the bite swells to the size of a fuckin jawbreaker but he’s like “nah i just need a nap.” then he wakes up the next day and discovers that he DOESN’T NEED HIS GLASSES ANYMORE and he has a fuckin six pack. does he flip his entire Fuck? no. he says, “cool.” iconic.

Tumblr wants to take away all adult content on the platform, abandoning a large majority of it’s userbase which uses the site for this exact matter. Please sign the above petition if you would like to keep tumblr the way it is. They need to be shown that they will lose a HUGE amount of their traffic if they’re too carry this through.
