30+ #dr.fudge but everyone has a zombie tied up/ in the basement. and one day it will bite/ someone you love, and then she will be a zombie,/ slowly rotting as you bring her gifts,/ brush her hair, rub cream on her dry, brittle skin,/ and make sweet, sweet love to her. depraved cogitation, henry israeli (the trash life is the only intellectually honest life) gifs + edits AO3

omg wait give us your backroom takes pls! which monster reveal fell flat to u??

ok so, i will talk about it after the cut lol

the giant pirate clark reveal...

i get the symbolism, i get what it's trying to say, i do think the notion of an involuntary, mutilated copy, built out of memory & trauma, is a really fascinating concept etc. etc.

but i just found it supremely silly, i'm sorry; it looked like a weird half-deflated halloween costume. it was campy in a way that took me out of it. it didn't look "wrong" enough for me? like, the element of grotesquerie was kind of missing. the chase scene was supposed to be tense, but i had to focus more on mary/renate to feel anything. because whenever that fuckass pirate man showed up i was just...okay, i guess this is happening. it kept killing the tension for me. i think more work on the prosthetics would've done wonders. like, for example, the insane prosthetics at the end of the substance are ridiculous but also terrifying! you can do both! maybe pirate clark was supposed to be more sad than terrifying; you certainly get that impression by the end of the chase scene, but again...it did not work for me. and on a smaller scale that applied to some of the other "people" of the backrooms. the very last shot of the movie with mary's "transfiguration" was really effective and eerie, but i'd say that's the only transformation/reveal that really worked for me.

i still really enjoyed the movie! i just wish that chase scene had been more effective for me. i found the post-chase scene with the "scientists" way more unsettling and terrifying in its implications.

Literally frothing at the mouth knowing that you’ve been watching slow horses 🫪. I’m not normal about that showwwwwww. I’ve read the entire book series twice and watched the show several times over. I’m so glad you ship river and Louisa. I haven’t seen many people ship them so I’ve been a little lonely over here….. LOUISA MY LOVE. If you can believe it they are so much more shippy in the books :))))) Marcus and Shirley also have my entire heart. Freak4Freak truly. I can talk about this show and the books all day if I’m given half the chance so let me shut up. Just know that I’m really happy you’re enjoying the show 💕💕

omg, listen, after bingeing the entire show i need to get my hands on the books because i'm def suffering from withdrawal! LOUISA AND RIVER MORE SHIPPY IN THE BOOKS? HOOO MAN I AM THERE. i definitely need louisa back on the show also. marcus and shirley were also such a great friendship😭 i currently love the weird feral "i hate your guts but i'm traumatized so i must protect you at all costs" dynamic going on between shirley and roddy (will probably write fic). and just gosh, the whole cast has my heart. you can always drop more love for the show/books in my inbox!

a handprint made in concrete is just the image of a hand, it’s not the real thing. or, it’s the absence of a hand, more than anything, the negative space. the casing around where it should be. it’s an indent that was made from something real - that could not have existed without something real - but it’s not the real thing, it’s just trying to be. maybe it’s not even trying. you put your hand there with your mother and the concrete remembers, and the handprint doesn’t even know why it exists, it just does. if we can make copies and not-things from real things in the world, who’s the say the world couldn’t do that itself? does it even need to know why?

Posting a years-old sketch in celebration of an update of the fanfic that completely rewired my brain.

[thefudge]

An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works

Set after the events of The Other Bennet Sister. Caroline has followed Mr. Ryder to Italy. It's the famous sunless summer of 1816 and Mr. Ryder has just received an invitation to Villa Diodati. How will Caroline Bingley fare against the Romantics?

What’s a fudge?

a food item (usually dessert) that i decided would be hilaaarious and perfectly suited for my tongue-in-cheek tumblr account back in 2011

Would you recommend doing a phd in English literature?

yes, but only if

a) you are planning on becoming an academic

because this is a big, expensive endeavor and i would think you would want your career to be (positively) impacted by it (plus, most PhD programs will sort of pull you in that direction anyway)

the second question, then, is if i'd recommend becoming an academic. and i would say yes: if you love research and reading and writing and being constantly curious about pretty much everything, then i think this is the job for you. but i DO recognize that academia is often toxic and exclusivist and hard and thankless and that a lot about it is broken. still, i wouldn't do anything else with my life

b) you have a big passion project that has a clear outline in your head AND you have enough financial resources and leeway to take breaks in order to have time and space to do it

this one is simply for the love of the game and i really respect that; but again, to me, being financially stable is key here. you don't want to embark on this while being saddled with debt, for instance, or having other financial or personal obligations.
