Tw? SH discussion

im not crazy for thinking that this skin is referring to Susie self harming am I.

For starters, shes breaking in at night and I dont know many schools that have nightime security, especially in smaller cities and i highly doubt Susie would borderline kill a guy just to break into an art studio.

Shes breaking in to 'express herself without restraint or judgement'. Highschools a very judgmental place, especially for someone not basic looking/attractive to most (braces, dyed hair freckles, shy) and we know from other skins that Susies been bullied (sleepover, cheerleader).

Comic wise Susie mentions holding herself back becuase shes scared she won't be able to stop her, aka restraint.

And the description on the knife, it bring described as 'puncturing and slicing' on what I assume is probably her arm. As if she where to do that to the hypothetically body she dragged in, it wouldn't make sense, and for the blood to be 'spraying' onto the canvas it means the injury site is relatively close and happened quick and fast, which would make sense if she was close. If she was holding the hypothetically dead guy she wouldn't be able to hold him close enough to the canvas AND stab him.

That's my ted talk I've had this thought in my head for a while and thanks to a fanfic I read it all came back 10/10 fanfiction btw

Where do y'all think the mapless killers stay at? I think Dracula got his whole ass castle and doesn't even have to share it for trials. Meanwhile Ghostface and Twinkster are what, stumbling through the fog? Ji-Woon was a millionaire, he is most likely spoiled as fuck and look how clean that mf is, I doubt he functions without a daily hour long shower and considering he might be one of the Entitys favourites, he probably gets it too.

In dbd the artists lore is basically the entity looking at a completely normal person and going “yeah, you’re gonna be my oc now”

I think it’s really funny how Danny is obviously a storyteller, but then his enjoyment of movies is basically forgotten about in his lore. It’s hard to tell if this is just a leftover nod to Scream, after-all “what’s your favourite scary movie?” is iconic—even if there’s absolutely zero evidence to support Danny using a similar method of phone-based psychological torture during his actual kills.

But his love for cinema must be intertwined with his usage of photography I would think. And this is what I think would be the most interesting aspect in his storytelling, personally. Initial photographs he takes while stalking are likely to be very basic, there’s some element of composition but it will be hampered by the fact you are dealing with unknowing subjects—it becomes a project of dealing in abstracts. Finding perfection in imperfection.

However, the final photo of his victim will be different. He has, in theory, enough time to stage a shot exactly how he wants it to be. He has the power to rewrite the story to his liking if he feels like something did not go the way he wanted it to by visual staging of the body and effects.

The Ghostface mori is a very quick event, but this to me is more an instance of game design over lore. He probably does take quick photos for certain kills, ones which may not be planned but are still meaningful—like the cop in Philly, or the entire situation of the trials in game… but I don’t think quick photos are the essence of his photography.

He’s too obsessive.

Bringing this back to movies, I think his photos borrow a lot from film language—there’s a lot of overlap here when it comes to staging shots which can be used, the main difference being film utilizes movement whereas photography is technically still-frame.

He probably loves a good Dutch angle, ya know? Horror staple.

Anyways, my end thought is that I think it’s really interesting to consider that Danny probably would not enjoy Scream—any of them. The meta commentary and satire would be lost on him, it would offend him.
