@theghostofbean 1) delighted to be spreading the word because it is such an amazing book but also 2) I do sometimes forget my posting can actually convince people to do things, so I feel the responsibility to flag that although most of the intense aspects of this book are probably anticipated with a historical Indigenous vampire story, there is also a scene where one of the character's briefly witnesses a rape. In my opinion it fits within the context of the extreme cruelty and violence being highlighted in that part of the story - but still definitely caught me off guard and I think it's important to flag it for people.

i'll always meet someone described as not friendly, and it's just a person who doesn't smile or talk a lot unwarranted. I feel like I have to continuously explain to people that this is not inherently hostile behavior

Damn I really can’t stop myself

Funniest thing ever to me in this particular moment: people taking that very spooky "I think I'm gonna die in this house" audio and making very non-serious House MD edits

I've added Mr Seek himself to the lineup. Jekyll and Hyde with Utterson caught in the middle.

It’s the way we’re wired.

I wanna point out something about Backrooms I haven’t seen people mention yet, which is that it takes place in the bay area.

The corner the ad names would place the store in San Jose, the center of Silicon Valley.

Recreating a copy of a copy over and over again. An entity doesn’t understand what it’s doing, it only recreates what it observes. “Generative.”

Remember when Dall-E was still in its infancy and churning out terrifying misinterpretations of what a person looks like? “super mario in gummo.”

This coming out in 2026 placed in San Jose is incredibly relevant and intentional.

Backrooms art because I genuinely can’t wait for the movie anymore.

Also... happy first day of Femslash February! I had to kick off the month with these icons. The Carmilla webseries was such a huge part of my teen years, for a queer girl who loved vampires and happy endings, it was so special and it still means so much to me that this show exists.
