the "came back wrong" trope except like... they didnt. like this mad scientists wife died, and so he studied necromancy, brought her back, and she came back and it all worked. like she came back exactly the same as she was before with literally no difference. but the scientist guy is like "oh no... what have i done.... shes Different now!!!! she came back Wrong!!!!" and shes just like. chilling. reading a book. cooking dinner. shes just so so normal but in the guys mind hes like "oh shes soooo weird" but shes just normal

NO its a JOKE and YOU DONT GET IT. ITS NOT THAT DEEP

[hiveswap]

While she was dead he put his memory of her on such a high pedestal that she could never live up to it alive

[midnight-revolucion]

alternatively‚ she came back perfectly fine but he thinks she came back wrong‚ because the tragic reality is that he never actually knew his wife

It's your post but the journey to posting it changed it to such a degree that even its closest intimacies are now foreign to you. Sorry dude.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

The defeat of the wizard who made people choose how they’d be to be executed

The woman who raised the changeling alongside her biological child

Hell House by Richard Matheson Review - Weirdly Horny and Not in a Good Way

Content Warning: This review talks about sexual violence and has descriptions of body horror. I think the only thing haunting me about this book is my hatred for it. Alright, hatred might be too strong a word, but I finished the book feeling like it just fell flat. For a book that had an accolade from Stephen King, calling it “…the scariest haunted house novel ever written,” I went in with high…

The Heart Taker by A. M. Wiley Review - A Thrilling High School Murder Horror.

I was provided a copy of this book for free as part of Macabre Mortis book club’s October Indie Tron! Thank you so much to Steph for organising, and thank you A. M. Wiley for providing your book! Spooky season prevails all throughout Autumn and Winter for me; how could it not? Darker and colder nights, Samhain is upon us, and I keep with the Victorian tradition of reading ghost stories over…

Savior of the Shades Review: Vasilisa Drake's Hades and Persephone Dark Romance Shifter Retelling

“And my heart is wherever you live. No matter where in the universe we are.”Vasilisa Drake, Savior of the Shades I didn’t think I’d get so into shifter romance stories, but after reading Marissa Gilbert’s Moonrise Kingdom books here I am. It was probably reading those that got me the ad for this book, which is actually a trilogy compiled into one book. This review will contain spoilers, so…

Happy anniversary to The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom!

The first mainline game to have Zelda as the main character!

bastard sounds great in an irish accent. if an irish person calls you a 'daft bastard' it just feels right

the welsh have the monopoly on things ending in hell. fuckin hell and bloody hell hit different in a welsh accent. its like music to my ears

the scots have piss and shite for sure. "its pishin it doon out there" "this is a load of shite" absolute poetry

if i may speak for the english i think we do penis related words very well. dickhead, knobhead, twat, etc.

and for all the shit we give them, you gotta admit that no one can deliver a 'goddamn' quite like an american. theres a certain weight to it that you just cant achieve in other accents. when an american says goddamn you know shit just got real

DYSCALCULIA TOOL ALERT!

This is an acrylic magnifying glass with a green strip in it that helps you read long strings of numbers! It's been known for a while that putting a colored filter over pages can help people with dyscalculia read numbers without them flipping places, but this is the first time I've seen something so simple and accessible. I put it on some test numbers and my eyes didn't feel like they kept wanting to jump around all over the number. I can keep this on my desk and use it on paper, or hold it up to my monitor to read long numbers at work! It may help people in other ways as well, this is just what I bought it for and I already love it!

I found it at a Daiso location, but there are probably others online.

Spread the word!

EDIT: It's also like $2, so pretty much anyone who needs it can afford it!
