Sometimes you successfully convince your boyfriends to watch 80s slasher films with you and you spend the whole time going “hehe he looks like me” while pointing at the killer whenever he’s on screen
anyways I got Johnny and Simon to watch The Prowler(1981) and it was great
a slasherval presentation term for someone who is between a final person and a skeptic. stoners can have a more grungey, midwestern emo kind of style (lots of flannels and muted colors, essentially). personally wise, they can come off as laidback and friendly, while also having deep knowledge about topics you’d never expect
inspired by the stoner trope/cliche
pinterest board that’s pretty much what i had in mind
