I had several ideas for a Treehouse of Horror segment with Ann-Doreen... But in canon episodes she's constantly the victim of circumstances, so how about having her be the menace instead, for once? Give her the power?
So of all my ideas, the most inspiring for me was Stephen King's Misery by far. In this case I'm going to make this parody (loosely) follow the 1990 film adaptation specifically because it slaps and, of course, for a Simpsons episode, basing it on another piece of visual storytelling just makes sense :] I'm taking a lot of liberties with it though so don't expect a 1-1 remake!
‼️Please note Usual ToH disclaimers apply, but specifically:
Warnings for cartoon violence/gore/blood, car crash, toxic relationship/possessivity/yandere kinda thing??, character death, and Snake overall having a no good very bad time </3
But remember that of course, as are all ToH, this is NON-CANON (thank god)
We begin with Snake peacefully driving into the snow-covered countryside, on his way to his hideout to lay low after a robbery.
But sooner than expected, the cops catch up to him...
And he crashes almost instantly.
Left unconscious, he's found by someone and dragged away from the car's carcass...
And awakens to a familiar sight.
Ann, his ex-girlfriend (at the time of the ToH), brought him to his own hideout after his crash?
Well, as strange this is, any way to not die or be caught by cops is a good one, right?
With his legs broken he has no choice but to stick around at the time... She's a bit weird but takes care of healing him, feeding him, helping him with basic things "until he feels better"... Well, can't complain, really.
Until the weird gets weirder. And more threatening.
Life goes on day after day, stuck in that stuffy cabin with an overbearing Ann-Doreen, and Snake slowly heals.
He awaits with trepidation the moment he'll finally be able to leave this place, and finally one day, as soon as Ann is busy in the other room he attempts his escape!
Well, woops.
Weeks pass, with Ann-Doreen peppy as ever and Snake feeling more and more trapped, even despite his health gradually getting better - with all medicine and painkillers hoarded by her, and them being stranded in the middle of nowhere surrounded by snow making it all the more difficult to just walk out.
But it will thaw soon enough! Right? Yeah.
Just gotta keep the peace til then...
Snake keeps up the facade of romance, but just one clumsy question is enough to immediately turn Ann sour again-
Things are different then, and the descent from Ann's sickly sweet demeanour into a much less agreeable one continues. She drinks more, acts much less lovey dovey, and much more cynical.
[All dialogue lifted directly from Misery (1990) lol]
Finally, an opportunity presents itself one day when Ann leaves the house, and takes her car for some long errand...
Immediately Snake goes to try and get to a phone, anything, to get out of here.
But as Snake sputters out those words, another voice pops up from the sideroom's entrance:
Ann-Doreen is home way earlier than expected.
Snake is caught red-handed in the forbidden room full of her sensitive memorabilia and a whole corpse. How will he-
How will he get out of this?
[ROLL CREDITS]
WELL this was one of my biggest posts ever I think. My god.
I REALLY hope you liked it, and if so please don't hesitate to share it and give me your thoughts about it!! With all the work I've put into it, that would truly mean the world to me ;v; ♥
Have a HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone <3
Extra Rambles and Trivia about the post below the cut:
I've been working on this beast since early february, for an ask received last december (Cruising i'm so sorry LOL) - I'd make progress here and there failing to properly focus, until one of my friends (hi Birb hbHGg) made me notice that October was arriving and. Well. Yeah Halloween was almost there, actually. Magically, having a hard deadline made me bang out the remaining half in three weeks :']
This is a literally long post also with a webtoon style reading experience due to my decision to keep the rectangular, 'screen-like' panel format I had already used in the 'When Snakey Met Annie' post, cuz I once again wanted the panels to kinda look like they could be screenshots of the show!
It's fun for me to try and mimick the kind of composition used in episodes, and it works all the better with the animations I've inserted here and there I feel :]
(But I'm far from a genius at it - special thanks to @birbwell for sketching the low angle panel when Snake runs out of the house!! It looks so cool <3)
Though lengthy images gave me a specific issue: they look just fine on computer, but. are blurry as hell on the phone app. And looking at past polls, seems a LOT of people use tumblr primarily on phone.. So I've had to cut and rearrange a lot of pictures to try and ensure app users would also have crisp images... I don't think I've managed for all of them, but most. Sorry if it's not perfect :']
QUICK TRIVIA:
The cabin is the one from 13x04 - 'A Hunka Hunka Burns in Love', I just redrew it in a winter setting and adapted the inside a bit for my purposes
The sexy poster Ann is annoyed about in the video gets taken down offscreen, you can notice an empty rectangle where it used to be in subsequent scenes
The bigger posters in the sideroom are past fanarts of Snake (here and here and here) I've reused to fill it up. Yes I'm plugging myself
This post was made using Photoshop (mostly), CSP, Krita and After Effects
POST STATS:
75 comic panels
2 big illustations (including the parody of the original poster)
3 animated gifs
one 30-seconds long animated video (fully done in CSP, as my Very First Time using the program LOL. go big or go home?)
Hit all the tumblr limits with this. The one video per post limit, and the max 30 images per post. I can NOT cram anything more in there
Hello, my name is Nesma. I am married to Tareq and I am from Gaza.
Hello, my name is Nesma. I am married to Tareq and I am from Gaza.
I was born in 2002.
I am the youngest daughter in a family of four. I was born an orphan; my father passed away in 2010 when I was 8 years old.
I lived with my mother and siblings in a small apartment until I grew up, studied in schools, and completed my education up to high school.
I got married at the age of 17 to Tareq, and we were happy in our life despite having limited means. Yet, we faced the harsh challenges of life.
After marriage, we struggled with infertility and went to many doctors trying to solve the problem despite our difficult financial situation.
After much suffering with treatments, thanks to God, I was blessed and became pregnant for 5 months. But the first shock came when I lost the baby during the war because of the bombing and displacement.
Life went on, but when the war on Gaza started on October 7, 2023, our lives turned into hell. We left our home and were displaced. My family moved to the south of Gaza, and I was unable to see them for a year and a half. My family’s house was destroyed, and we lost everything. Even my husband lost his job and became unemployed.
We now live in a border area near the army in Al-Shuja’iya neighborhood.
On June 27, 2024, the army launched an operation in our area. We had to flee our home, running through the streets to escape the shells and rockets. Then came the devastating shock—death was faster than escape. I lost my two uncles, Ashraf and Mahmoud. We lost our loved ones, and they left behind wives and children who now suffer the pain of loss and separation.
After some time of displacement, we returned to our home, but it had been severely damaged by the heavy shelling and falling debris in the area. And now, we are once again displaced under even harsher conditions. We have nothing to protect us from the heat of summer or the cold of winter
Our suffering is immense, but with your help, we may reach a better and more dignified life. I plead with you to help me support myself, my husband, my loved ones, and my family. What you offer truly makes a difference in our lives, especially regarding our struggle with infertility after this cursed war ends.
We live in a world that has forgotten the meaning of humanity and generosity. May God bless you all.
So please help me and my wife 🥹😭

Hello my dear friends,
I’m a new user on Tumblr and I’ve been trying to verify my campaign but without any success or response from the verification page.
If you truly want to help me, please tag them or send them a mention.
Instead of buying a ticket for a film that punishes people for speaking truth, use that same money to defend life — real, innocent life.My children in Gaza are not characters in a story; they are children who dream, laugh, and tremble under the sound of bombs. Every time you choose silence, they grow closer to becoming forgotten. Choose courage instead. Choose humanity. Support those who refuse to be silenced. . support us.
