got to my desk at the brewery and found a jar of diatomaceous earth and a bundle of sage left for me.

Question! Who's your favorite Beast Wars character? >:]

iiiii have multiple :)

legally(/j) if you want just one, i have to answer Depth Charge because i literally started the show after realizing there was a Manta Ray character.

but i also really really like Rampage (*swoons*)... AH, and SILVERBOLT. AND BLACKARACHNIA-

ahem. anyway. i also obviously really like Tarantulas. i was enamored by his freak nature from the get go...

— OCS AS HORROR THEMES/TROPES

hi. yeah. funky little uquiz time. (do be sure to heed the trigger/content warnings in the quiz description!)

JUST CATHOLIC TRAUMA.

(tw for implications of self harm here) god is judgment. every action is weighted, every action is watched. tally marks on a scoreboard, on skin, your body on a golden scale, and you can't shed enough weight to stop it from tipping. worship isn't enough. sacrifice isn't enough. guilt lays across you in layers. blankets, sheets of snow, cling-wrap cutting off your circulation. you can't save yourself, but you can never stop trying. fire licks at your heels, a constant reminder of what is inevitably waiting for you.

*haha um. yeah. :)

FLOWERS ROTTING AS A METAPHOR FOR DEATH/DECAY.

stems droop, go yellow like aged teeth. petals curl, go dry like paper, like corpse skin. the beauty of youth can only be preserved through unnatural means. roses drowned in silica gel, pins behind the eyes. glass vase, open casket. everyone is watching you. why aren't you moving? are you too weak to grow toward the light anymore?

FAMILY AS A CULT.

you will never need anyone else. outsiders will hurt you, aim to corrupt you and ruin you and leave you in pieces, but your family will always be there for you. everyone has the same eyes, the same smile. the same sickly yellow light cast over their skin. the same tastes, the same food that melts to gray sludge on your tongue. family recipe. hugs last too long, touches linger and sting like sunburn. don't stray too far. if you come back looking like a wolf rather than a sheep, the dogs will eat you.

i mean. literally. yeah. his family is indeed a cult. that’s a very important thing that did happen.

THE HORROR OF THE MOTHER.

complete control over you, your complete reliance on her. you are a helpless child, and she makes every decision for you, asserting to you that she knows what's best. hysterical, emotional, even in her love for you, especially in her hatred for you. the fruit of her loins has rotted, and you cannot escape her scorn. distance means nothing if you're doomed to become her.

that is also a very important thing that did happen. :)

MEAT AS HORROR.

meat hooks and conveyor belts and cold metal. the warm eyes of a stupid animal, completely unaware of the watering mouths that await it. "cut here" lines drawn on the body, slabs of steak that bleed and bleed, unrelenting. are you hungry? would you kill to stay alive? you feel like prey, or maybe like predator. sinew is stuck between your teeth. and gore dribbles down your chin. don't chip your teeth on the bones. you feel like the top of the food chain, and don't see the eyes gleaming behind you.

HEAVEN AS OBLIVION.

there is absolutely nothing for you now. you are dead but not gone, you've passed on to the next realm and hit an infinitely extending wall. your fingers dissolve before your eyes, your eyes melt out of your head, your head does not exist. you are not present anywhere, and you cannot hear anything. you've dodged hell, but at what cost? this is all there is now.

INCHRESTING result for her as i definitely expected the cult result. but.

watching people on the internet bend over backwards to still call blake a bitch/the problem etc etc even while the entire cast of iewu refused to do press or events with baldoni was certainly an exercise in “wow you guys really get excited when you think you get an excuse to hate a woman” lmao
