Bo, Vincent, & Lester Sinclair now open for asks, along with Nick & Carly Jones!
J: Vana and I just binged a ton of new horror movies, and in light of that we’ve sent out invitations for several new slashers and survivors to join our party! So let’s take a look at the films and welcome our new arrivals!
V: Man, this is gonna be a wild ride - we watched a handful of assorted movies that don’t pertain much to one another, but all were equally fan-freakin-tastic. And I’m more than excited to showcase our brand new friends <3 (I think a couple of them are more than excited as well-)
I have unfortunately succumbed once more to my terminal case of bad-man-loving, and I’ve gained more horror-crushes. Save my soul.
J: Bo is a bad man-
V: That is the point.
! Spoilers for House of Wax ahead !
J: So as you may have guessed, the movie we’re talking about first is House of Wax (2005). It follows a group of college students driving cross-country to attend an important football game. But they stop for the night in Ambrose, Louisiana… a decision that turns out to be fatal. Mwahahahahaha.
V: They end up meeting up with not one, not two, but three men - all with varying levels of dangerousness. Lester, Bo, and Vincent. It isn’t until later do they realize they’re all connected. One of my favorite twists, honestly - even though I knew beforehand, I still loved finding that out in the story as it progressed. And man is Bo a snack.
J: Yyyyeah… she has mechanic fever pre-tty bad.
As far as the movie goes, the director made a point of using practical effects wherever and whenever possible, which made for a very realistic, very grotesque viewing experience. It definitely made my skin crawl, and Vincent is terrifying.
However, the only protagonist I really liked was Nick. Carly and Wade were just as Bo described: completely disrespectful. They were rude to Lester, rude to Bo, and Wade disrespected Vinny by burning his childhood sculptures, breaking into his museum, sneaking around the Sinclair house, etc, etc... In that sense, it was hard to want the protags to succeed. I didn’t feel for them. And the film didn’t try to hide the fact that Paris Hilton was - in fact - Paris Hilton. Even the soundtrack refers to her character as ‘Paris’, so she ended up as more of an Easter Egg than her own character. Wasn’t a fan of that. Even Jennifer’s Body took Megan Fox seriously, and I wasn’t left thinking “they’re just using this as an excuse to get her half-naked figure on a big screen”.
But Nick was strong, a good brother, and the slow reveal of his true character was really well done. Overall it was a solid movie with a lot of fandom potential (extra points there). I’d give it… 7/10.
V: I think that’s fair. The effects, the set, the villains? All fantastic. But it fell apart with the protagonists - Carly was alright at some points, but otherwise? Ehh. I mean, I often sympathize with the killer anyway, but this felt like it was intentionally like that. Like, “hey, these good guys suck - like the villains instead; they’ve had it rough”. Nick was fantastic though, I will give him that. I like a bad boy with a big heart!
J: So without further ado, we would like to welcome Bo, Lester, and Vincent Sinclair to the Slasher Party! Along with our two survivors, Nick and Carly Jones!
“Thank y’kindly, ladies~ I think my brothers’n’I ‘ll fit right in these parts,” Bo smirks, his southern charm unparalleled, “And uh, Miss Savana, was it? Seems like it’s a special pleasure to make your acquaintance, ma’am~” He gives the girl a sweet kiss on the hand, at which Jess rolls her eyes.
Lester tilts his hat off in a greeting, a shy grin plastered across his scruffy features. “Well, heh, hi there everybody. Sure is a pleasure t’be here~”
“...” The man in the wax mask is quiet. His hands move, and he begins to sign. ‘Thank you for bringing me.’ He says. ‘I look forward to making new friends.’
With his sister on his arm, Nick gives a lazy shrug and a shake of his head. “As long as you’re sure it’s safe here, I don’t have any problem setting the record straight on exactly what happened.”
“Y-yeah.” The girl stutters, the proximity of the other men clearly making her nervous. For good reason, of course. “And, and if they mess with us, we’ll just beat them up all over again.” She swallows, her attempt at intimidation pretty lackluster. Vana’s sure she’ll warm up soon.
J: And there you have it! We’ll update the guest list in a bit, but as of now, these five are open for asks!

Considering he already felt like the luckiest guy in the world to have found Robin, seeing her bent over with her rear-end up in the air, he found that he couldn’t stop smiling, absolutely grinning ear-to-ear before walking up behind her and finally adding, “You’ve got one fine ass sweetheart. I don’t think I tell you enough.” And maybe it was time to start telling her more often. “God, you’re beautiful, I don’t know why you settled on some big dope like me.”

send 🍑for my muse to find yours bent over something with their ass on display
- Nicknames? Pet names? Any in-jokes? (nick & robin)
Nick calls Robin all sorts of pet names; babe, love, sweetie, etc. Very rarely will he call her Rob instead of Robin fully though. They have several in-jokes, especially related to his wolf side. When it gets closer to the full moon, he is often more easily irritable and they try to poke fun at that a bit to ease the tension.
“Come on Nick, what do you mean, 'I'm being too loud when I'm supposed to be doing paperwork'? It’s not like I’m fucking SHOUTING IN YOUR EAR!”
He flinches at the sudden change in volume, smacking him hard with said paperwork on the forehead. “Do that again and I’m cuffing you to Dawes’ desk this time!”
