TEARS OF THEMIS MEN & HORROR MOVIES
—; [🥀] : SFW + unspecified gender reader. well, it’s halloween season and i just had to make this. this was random but i had fun making it even though i think this may not be some of y’all’s cup of tea.
[ unedited. inclined to gave grammar mistakes and whatnot. ]
it’s probably his least favourite genre when it comes to movies. so, he almost never watches it.
but homeboy will say he’s not scared when you ask him if he’s okay with watching them. yep, just straight out lie to your face because he just can’t bring himself to disappoint you :(
his whole life is already an ordeal, but watching horror movies—even with you—is a whole new type of it.
he will find something to clutch onto to soothe his nerves; a pillow, a doll, or his own phone—where he’ll use it to cover his eyes if he thinks there’s a scary scene coming.
he’ll form a habit of reclining his back against the sofa as if that’s going to decrease the adrenaline pumping on his nerves.
if you cling onto his arm, he will hug you, which gets tighter over time and you’re like, “artem, i can’t breathe.”
he hates jump-scares with every fiber of his being. like, just why? the suspense of it all—the eerie music—is already enough to send him over the edge.
and when the jump-scares come, he’s always on the verge of letting out a scream. you heard him let out a quiet whimper once and you thought it was kind of funny and adorable, much to his embarrassment.
the type to act as if he’s looking at the tv screen, when actually, he’s staring at the wall behind it.
expect him to have nightmares once he’s done watching one. he won’t sleep for days. so, you better start recommending him some romance or comedy movies.
possible horror movies he liked or found scary: it duology, host, it follows, the blair witch project (1999).
… like, seriously, what did you expect?
to him, there’s only one thing that’s horror in this world, and that is seeing his father’s face on the morning news. lol, anyway—
he likes horror movies, actually. because he can judge how stupid people are in it. he’ll just chuckles when someone dies, and be like, “heh, knew it.”
even though he likes horror movies, he’s kind of picky about it. he doesn’t like to watch the cheesy-type of horror.
he’s not bothered by the jump-scares, but sometimes he flinches as a reaction.
he will point out the small details and implied symbolisms in the movie and explain it to you. he will have his own theory about it.
so generally, the more fucked up the movie is, the more he likes it.
the type to suspiciously root the supernatural entity or killer to fuck up the protagonist. but at the same time, he will be pissed whenever a character makes a dumb decision.
when you cling onto him during the scariest parts, he’ll soothe you by patting the side of your head. “is it too scary? you can close your eyes if you’re scared.”
possible favourite horror movies: anything by robert eggers, so that includes the witch and the lighthouse, others like the babadook, saint maud, black swan, split.
he likes horror movies but would never want to watch it alone. every so often, he’ll drag you to watch it together with him.
oh, and he watches it during the day. never at night.
before watching, he’ll prepare tons of snacks and drinks because there’s no way he’s going to survive a horror movie without munching on something. it’s the only thing that keeps him distracted and sane.
he’ll use your hand to cover his face, or he’ll grab your shoulders while leaning towards you to conceal himself behind your back whenever a scary scene shows up.
he will start randomly humming a tune during the most intense moments. probably when the eerie music starts to get louder, he gets louder as well.
he gets noisy and restless during the most intense parts; like, when a protagonist is being chased, he’ll be like, “ah! go! go! run boy run!!”
he will accidentally say profanities midway, and despite apologising to you about it, he’ll still proceed to say every profanities he knows.
the type to constantly feed you food to distract himself.
he occasionally checks up on you and if he thinks you’re looking a little scared, he’ll put his hand in front of your eyes—or if the background music is too loud, he’ll cover your ears.
he always gets scared to go the bathroom in the end, lol. but he won’t admit it to you. also, he’s kind of wary about mirrors.
possible favourite horror movies: the conjuring trilogy, the woman in black duology (but he likes the first one better), the invisible man, it comes at night, hush, insidious chapter 1 and 2.
oh, he loves horror movies. little bastard’s not afraid of anything, to be honest. he lives for the fright. it pisses you off for some reason.
he’s always up-to-date with the latest horror movies and will casually ask you out on a night date to watch it.
“hey, there’s this new horror movie in town and you can watch it in 3D! yeah, don’t worry, i already got the tickets!” like, boy—💀
the type to leave you during the scariest scenes. “quick bathroom break,” he’ll say, or “do you want more snacks? i’ll go get some.” like how dare you, little man—
the type to TALK A LOT during the movie. it’s like he’s doing a commentary, lol. you don’t know if he’s actually scared or just randomly saying his thoughts out loud but it does feel like a coping mechanism.
the type to scare you by abruptly grabbing your shoulders and shake your body while he whispers, “boo!”
when there’s a jump-scare, he’s absolutely nonchalant about it and just says, “oh hello.”
he’s kind of like vyn in a way. the type to judge the characters’ decisions and laugh it off when someone dies.
he gets full satisfaction whenever you cling onto him and a shit-eating grin will form on his face. “scared, miss? that’s alright, you can hold onto me for as long as you like.”
you know how a24 studio likes to set their main characters on fire? yeah, he thinks that’s art (me too, to be honest).
possible favourite horror movies: anything by ari aster or a24 studio; hereditary and midsommar, the shining, oculus, the killing of a sacred deer.
