knowing that the past tense of "hang" is "hanged" when it's a method of execution can be very entertaining because you'll be watching a horror movie and someone goes "local legend says a woman was hung in these woods" and you're like "👀 good for her I guess"
this is going around twitter rn but im also super curious: please tell me your top four comfort movies that you’re always down to watch bc my friend thinks mine are ridiculous and now we’ve realised everyone’s version of “comfort” is hilariously different
think i wanna get beat up w/ aftercare so i can experience someone feeling remorse for treating me badly

kyoya and benkei talk about being "good." i think kyoya sees benkei as someone inherently good regardless of any bad hes done, and he sees himself as someone inherently bad, regardless of any good he does now. he has this idea stuck in his head that he convinced benkei to do bad things, when in reality benkei has always made his own decisions- he's got just as much crazy in him as kyoya. its not kyoyas fault benkei likes him, he's not tainting or using him just by being around him. (i think kyoya convinces himself he must be doing something bad no matter what he finds himself doing). anyway i think these two both see endless good in eachother, regardless of the choices they make.

No
Absolutely not!
Why does this fucking exist?!?!
for the DS ask game: 9, 21, and 22, please! (these are wonderful questions, I love them!)
Thanks so much! I just answered 9 & 22 (only one correct answer...) in a different ask:
As for...
21. Favorite song or soundtrack?
Absolutely "Shadows of the Night" with David Selby's narration. I've been thinking of getting "somewhere in the afterglow, love lives on and on" tattooed eventually for almost a year now, which means it's an inevitably.
For the dark shadows ask game 1, 8, 9, 13, 17, 18, 20, 22 (sorry for sending so many but there were too many good questions!!)
1. If you had to be bitten by any character who becomes a vampire throughout the whole series, who would it be and why?
Roxanne. ;P
8. Favorite arc?
The Adam arc... I know it's widely hated, but I love it. It was actually the most painful arc for me to watch. I kept having to pause mid episode and stop watching and then resume a few days later, not only because of how completely unbearable Roger Davis is to watch, but also because of the whirlwind emotions Robert Rodan evokes as Adam. I would go so far as to say Dark Shadows' Adam is my favorite adaptation of Frankenstein's monster from this past decade. I really can't think of any other character who can make me feel so much anger and frustration but also so much secondhand pain and embarrassment, intense sympathy and empathy paired with recognition of the unforgivable.
9. If you could rewrite any arc, which would it be and why?
1897 for obvious reasons relating to the Romani characters involved. That aside, the Leviathan arc. I certainly don't hate it, but it could definitely use for a lot of improvements. At the very least, I would make sure Carolyn Stoddard didn't end up Permanently Married (and Grieving) to Jeb, the Creature (Repulsive). All the love to Christopher Pennock. I only wish he'd been better utilized. Again, I'll have to revisit this with my thoughts as to how I'd actually rewrite the arc upon rewatching.
13. Two characters or actors you wish had gotten more screen time together? (Any crack ships?)
Ooh, I so wish John Karlen and Joan Bennet had gotten more screen time together, but that said, I wish John Karlen had got more screen time with all of the other best actors on Dark Shadows. I suppose my closet thing to a crack ship would be Willie and Quentin. They've interacted in canon, yes, but only a few thousand episodes in, and certainly not in any romantic context, but...
17. If you had the chance to play any character, which one would you pick?
Barnabas... or Quentin.
18. If you could recast any character as a different actor, which would it be?
Ooh, this one is tricky. My cop out answer is that I would recast all of Roger Davis' characters as anyone but Roger Davis. In all seriousness, I was always expecting to see Alexandra Moltke as Josette and still believe it might have been better that way.
20. Which characters do you wish had lasted longer before permanently dying or getting written off?
Various, but most notably Sam Evans and Joe Haskell. It's sad, but by the time they were written off, I feel that Maggie's character had completely lost sight of what made her so lovable in the first place. It's not that she needed Sam or even Joe to be a strong, defiant, compelling character, but their characters were beloved to me as she was, and their losses were strongly felt.
22. Favorite flub / unintentionally hilarious moment?
Sorry, but it HAS to be "incestors." It's even thematically relevant. Thank you, Louis Edmonds.
Never apologize for sending asks to an ask game request, and thank you so much!! 🫶🏼
Dark Shadows asks: 4, 15, 19?
4. Favorite non-supernatural character?
Easily my beloved Dr. Hoffman. There are few characters who, even on the worst of days, can make go from smiling at their brilliance to laughing at their over-acted lines to swooning over their smile lines and knobby fingers to being on the verge of tears over their complexity. It almost feels wrong to label her as a non-supernatural character given how much time traveling she does, not to mention how swimmingly she accepts and works with the supernatural from start to finish, but I suppose the blurring of that line between supernatural and not is one of my favorite thing about Dark Shadows. It's Julia's ability to face any obstacle, supernatural or not, head on that makes her so remarkably stubborn, and I love that this stubborn nature is easily as much Julia's defining strength as it is her Achilles' heel that keeps her entangled in the neverending terror at Collinwood day in and day out. I find that this makes for an extremely effective foil to not only Barnabas but also Angelique, perhaps even moreso, as well as for starkly fun contrast with Quentin, who, so much unlike her, is very skilled at dishing at passionate 'love' to those who requite it but completely and entirely unskilled at following through with the emotional commitment it requires. Like Barnabas and Angelique, Julia starts out driven by an obsession that, whether consciously or subconsciously, hinges upon desire for forbidden romantic love disguised behind lies, half-truths, and excuses. Like Barnabas, her motivating obsession eventually transforms into wider reaching familial devotion underscored with a secret yearning for something more that will never quite be fulfilled. Paired with Julia's complete lack of any expressed interest in marriage, nuclear family, or any hallmarks of a traditional romantic relationship, I find this contrast to be especially effective with Angelique, who, from start to finish, is driven so almost exclusively by the power and acceptance she longs to achieve through marriage into the Collins family. On one hand, could it be argued that, by projecting her unrequited romantic love for Barnabas (as well as, likely, her guilt in having kept his secret) onto familial protection of the Collins family, she makes herself a dog, repeatedly saving not just their lives but their future legacy for seemingly no more in return than room and board? Yes. On the other hand, is she not far more fulfilled, actualized, and satisfied accepting what Angelique never could while also accepting that she will also remain driven by silly, illogical love regardless? Perhaps. Would both of them be so much better off if they just forgot about the Collins family and had lesbian sex instead?
Yes, of course, but we all know that isn't happening.
Unless...
Willie Loomis, is, of course, an extremely close runner-up. The homoerotic Renfield archetype he fills is my favorite across so many genres and mediums, so the fact that he's just ever so slightly outclassed by the eminent doctor speaks for itself.
15. Have you listened to any of the audio dramas or read any of the comics or novels? If so, what are your thoughts?
None yet! Absolutely zilch. I only just finished the whole series as well as the movies a few months ago and have been rewatching my favorite arcs off and on since. I'd love recommendations for the audio dramas especially.
19. If you could take any costume or piece of furniture from any set, what would you take?
You know what. This is such a difficult question. It's so funny that I wrote it. I remember thinking, "if I get any asks, I wouldn't know how to respond to this one," and here we are. I'm tempted to go for that expanding rolling liquor cabinet PT Quentin Collins shows off, but really, I want to come back to this with a proper answer eventually.
