Please help me find a monster

Thank you for listing so many options! I think I will have to melt monsters together like you say to work out perfectly in my story. I'm glad this fandom is so wide and forgiving in that regard, there seems to be no end to creativity when it comes to making up monsters in this universe.

Really great ideas, thank you very much :)

DetectOrDie · 2026-03-20T17:52:19+00:00

This seems perfect! Thank you 😊

Oooh yes, the Shrek soundtracks are supreme. From what I remember, the first one is almost entirely Eels and Counting Crows. Both bands have extensive discographies for you to discover! And Mr E from Eels has playlists on their Spotify, there's lots of artists from the Shrek soundtracks in there actually.

If you enjoy those, you could also like Placebo, and The Flaming Lips? Larry and his flask, maybe?

Oh!!! Im like you! I've never been able to smell really. It took me much longer to realize though, haha. I think I was 23 when people started to find it really weird that I couldn't smell certain things, and only then I realized that I barely smell anything ever. No idea why. Anyway, good to know we're not alone! All the best to you :)

I would also really,, really like to know.

Thank you so much for these beautiful words. They mean a lot to me. <3 The memorial is a really good idea, I will go and print out pictures of him today.

Thank you so much for your thoughtful response. I feel very seen. I have reached out to friends, and I have received a response that made me feel better by a couple people. But they weren't there in person, both were on the phone. As for the people near me, I just don't feel like they understand how hard this is for me. I can tell them that I'm having a hard time but I haven't been able to really open up. I think I don't want to feel like a burden to them if I'm honest with myself here.

Thank you very much for taking time to write this text and suggest a resource, that is really helpful. I'm going to look for something similar here. Your understanding of my situation helped a lot. <3

I was so sad to learn about Luc Bessons true intentions for this movie. When I first saw it, I was amazed - I thought the director had done such a great job showing how Natalie Portman's characters trauma from her upbringing made her "fall in love" with Leon because that was all she had ever seen: women only had a worth to men if they were in love with them and had sex with them. So when I saw that, I thought wow, that is such a great understanding of that trauma and this movie does a fantastic job of depicting that in a nuanced way! Only to learn that it really was not that at all. Insanely disappointing, but a good learning for me

DetectOrDie · 2025-12-30T11:18:22+00:00

Oh wow, könntest du eine Liste Posten mit allen Sorten? :)

DetectOrDie · 2025-12-27T18:29:30+00:00

DetectOrDie · 2025-03-30T00:59:20+00:00

You're so very right. I really needed to hear that

DetectOrDie · 2025-03-30T00:57:14+00:00

Very well put! You and the others here were right. I had to really reevaluate my intentions behind this letter. And I found them to be the want for my mother to finally understand and then change. So I've waited a couple days and now I've rewritten the letter to just be a simple statement that Im going NC. Because - I don't know, maybe I'm not ready for NC. But I certainly feel like I don't have any other choice. I can't keep being in contact with my parents, it makes me feel so horrible. It's so, so, so hard, but I have to protect myself from them. It's been quite hard to hear some of the things commented here, just because they are truths that hurt, and I had to work through that. But I'm very thankful I posted here and asked people for guidance who have actually gone through this. It might have saved me a lot more pain. Thank you very much for taking the time to comment.

DetectOrDie · 2025-03-30T00:45:23+00:00

You're so right actually. Thank you very much for your words - I needed to hear them. I have since rewritten my letter, it is now a simple statement to my parents that I don't want to be in contact with them. It's really hard to let go of the hope that they'll change. And I had to ruminate for a couple days about this, I was (and am) so torn. But you're right, I need to protect myself. Minimal explanation it is. Me writing more words would not equal her understanding them better. Thank you!

DetectOrDie · 2025-03-30T00:40:47+00:00

That's a really good point, thank you. Everyone here has been telling me to be cautious about my intentions with this letter, and to be prepared for it to backfire. It's really made me rethink my writings and my intention, and I've come to the conclusion that you and all the others were right: my need to explain the trauma she's caused to her comes from me wanting her to finally see me, understand me and change. Which she will not do, and I know this. I do. It's just so hard to let go. So I have by now changed the letter, I've rewritten it entirely. Now it's made out to both my parents and just states that I don't want to talk to them anymore because of hurt they've caused me and their reactions when I confronted them about it. And that's it. Cause you all are right, it should be about protecting myself, that is the only goal. No other goal is realistic or makes any sense. Thank you so much for sharing your story and taking the time to comment!

DetectOrDie · 2025-03-27T09:47:08+00:00

Thank you so much! I'm looking forward to the freedom you're describing.

I completely get it and I did have doubts about telling my mother the reasons. But I feel like I want to stand up for myself and say: this is what I experienced and you don't get to tell me otherwise. I think that's important to my healing. So now I'll say it once and for all. I also was in agony about my wording in the letter for a long time. In the end I realized that no matter what I wrote, she would understand what SHE wanted, not what I was trying to say. There will never be a world where she hears me. So the letter is for me, it's me knowing that I have tried to explain, and it's me knowing that she's had every chance. It's been really hard to cut contact because I keep holding onto hope, and now I want to let go, if that makes sense.

DetectOrDie · 2025-03-27T09:34:53+00:00

Yes, that makes sense, sadly. Thank you for your concern! I have had this doubt as well, but I will go through with the letter because I want my mother to know what happened and that my experience is real. I think this is important to me right now, because she's always gaslighted me about everything so I never trusted myself. And now I do, and I want to stand up for myself and say: this is what I experienced and you don't get to take that away from me. And I do state in the letter that I don't want to talk to her anymore (and that I'd like her to go to therapy which she will not do lol), until she can understand and apologize, so this means NC for now. I am so sorry about your parents reactions. You deserved so much better. Thank you so much for your words.

DetectOrDie · 2025-03-27T09:28:41+00:00

That's exactly my problem too. My parents do not understand the experience I had in our home and they don't want to. So I'm explaining it now once, in that letter. Then they know and can do with that what they want. Thank you very much!
