Welcome to my seven millionth side blog

This blog is mostly for a random assortment of things I don’t want on my other themed blogs. Whether it be fandoms I’m not in enough to make full sideblogs for, stray thoughts I want to jot down, or sharing new things I’ve acquired, this is a multi-purpose blog.

As such I won’t be very active on here, but I may share any old or new clowns slash dolls I come across. I mostly just collect clown dolls or figures, but I have an open mind when it comes to collecting lol. I’m growing my non-clown collection slowly but surely.

Topics for this blog may include:

- Dolls/Clowns

- Horror Movies, probably Slashers

- Books

- The odd tortoise post

- Probably more things I’m forgetting

I’ll try to keep my grammar consistent, but autocorrect hates me and I don’t use auto-capitalisation

The SCP Wiki reading experience as a newcomer is clicking on an anomaly you think looks cool, reading through and seeing it references a different SCP halfway through, not wanting to get lost then clicking the referenced notice and reading through that page. Said page references another SCP, so you click the link and read through that page so you understand everything properly, before seeing yet another embedded link to a different SCP. Process repeats several times until you finally get what’s being referenced and backtrack to a previous link in the chain, continuing down the page until you see another red bit of text. Repeat the process ad infinitum until by the time you backtrack to your original page several hours later, you have entirely forgotten what the fuck is happening and need to start from the beginning. On the plus side it’s really fun so at least it’s a positive experience lol

I’ve been thinking recently about how the elder Heelshires probably drowned themselves deliberately instead of any other quicker/more efficient method because fire was emblematic of their guilt. Whether you believe the fire was lit by Brahms or the parents or even an honest-to-God accident, it was the catalyst for Brahms being put in the walls and the parents’ decision to hide him, because it was the moment they declared him dead to the world and by doing so covered up Brahms’ crime. So by drowning themselves, they might’ve been metaphorically ‘putting out the fire’ and ridding themselves of the guilt through death, attempting to undo what cannot be undone. In a cinematic sense, it could’ve also been symbolic of the pressure they felt keeping up the lie, and by drowning they were giving into it fully. They had the money to disappear in some other way, and the time to plan out something that wouldn’t get them found for a while but wouldn’t be as slow or painful or terrifying as drowning, it was a deliberate choice and not a pleasant one. It could also have been religious in some way, similar to how water in baptism is representative of washing away sins. Maybe they chose a deliberately slow and painful method in an attempt to suffer and repent so they could be forgiven, like how some people used to lash themselves as penance. They certainly had the time to think about these things, so who knows.

Tfw you’re trying to revise but the mark scheme is actively gaslighting you and trying to bullshit the values you were literally given in the question

Edit: My complaints can go die because I’ve just discovered every exam for the past five years has been the exact same questions with different values this is the happiest day of my university career

As a civil engineering student who’s getting into slashers I’m fascinated by the House of Wax 2005. I love the film so much but the concept of a wax house is stuck my brain because how in the ever loving fuck did Trudy get planning permission for that thing. Because like, it’s Trudy’s world famous House Of Wax, so it was probably her that built it, and it’s definitely built for human usage so it’s still bound by the relevant construction legislation. How on earth did she explain that to the construction team? Did they do it like concrete and pour it into formwork and she just carved up the finer details? Were they prefab walls she made and just like hired a crane and a really big blowtorch to weld them together? I’d give my left arm for those specifications, if she made any at all instead of just shipping over like ten trucks worth of wax and going at it herself. Did she claim it was just a really big sculpture to get around the Building Regulations? Or was this totally a thing that could happen in the 80s and I’m just overestimating their safety precautions?

She probably just never told the government and assumed small town = they won’t notice or care, lied that it was concrete on the inside or something if anyone asked and prayed nobody would snitch (and subsequently get waxed along with any wayward safety inspector), but it’s funnier to think of it like this:

Found a lovely new doll at the charity shop today, she plays music using a key at the back, but she’s a bit old so you have to move her around to keep the song going towards the end. I love her curls.

She came in a collectors choice box, though her certificate of authenticity is long gone lol. She’s in pretty good condition, aside from a stain on her shoe and a bit of drooping from her eyelashes.

I found a new doll in the antique shop that closes her eyes when you lay her down. She only cost 3 pounds lol, so she was a bargain. And she’s fully articulate in her arms, legs, and head. She didn’t come with a name, though, so I’ve named her Anita :]
