idc what anyone says, monsters motivated by love are a thousand times scarier than any other kind. hive minds that subsume all life out of a genuine belief that everyone will be happier that way. aliens that subjugate humanity out of a colonizer mindset of “helping” a primitive species. things that mutate bodies and minds out of a desire to “fix” or “cure” them. undead creatures that want to spread the curse to their loved ones so they also never have to die.
monsters that treat their victims like scared family pets that don’t want their medicine. monsters that think they know best. monsters that wield the corrupting, devastating, horrifying power of love.
nothing is scarier to me.
