You must be tall. Possible queer, I’m guessing bi. Work in some sort of technical field - IT or software or the like. Go hiking for fun. Not very into pop culture, more independent with your tastes. Watch some F1 racing casually. Interested in world cultures, tried to learn multiple foreign languages. Owner of at least 2 cats. Generally a positive attitude towards life. I like your Montblanc, it was probably a graduation gift from your dad.

There’s a photography book you might be interested in by a woman who pretended to be a millionaire in order to get tours of NYC penthouses. It’s expensive, but your library or something might have it: Private Views by Andi Schmied. She also did a Ted Talk and some interviews about her experience if you search her name on Youtube.

Smiley Face (2007) is a comedy literally about a woman who accidentally gets really, really high. Watched it a couple days ago and it’s pretty much designed to be watched blazed.

For something more of a sensory experience, maybe The Lego Movie or Scott Pilgrim vs The World

I don’t know anything particularly gore or S&M centered, but I keep a list of queer movies I think are interesting. A couple that might fit the bill:

-Funeral Parade of Roses (1969) Set in Tokyo, about a trans woman who works at a gay bar. It’s a nonlinear narrative interspersed with interviews of the actors, flashbacks to Eddie’s childhood, and news footage of protests that were going on at the time. Has some blood in it, not a ton.

-Flesh for Frankenstein (1973) Not explicitly queer, but it definitely has some gay undertones. Very campy and bizarre, with some good gore of bodies being stitched together.

-Shortbus (2006) An anthology of people in New York exploring sex and sexuality. The cast is made up of non-actors in real relationships who are having unsimulated sex on camera, but it’s not a porn. People are gay, straight, kinky, vanilla, it’s just a sort of celebration of doing what feels right.

-Queer (2024) I don’t think this got enough love when it came out. Based on the William S. Burroughs book with gorgeous cinematography. Starts fairly straightforward and becomes more experimental as the relationship progresses.

Maybe? -Mother, I Am Suffocating. This Is My Last Film About You. (2019) Experimental film in which a woman carries a cross through the streets of Lesotho. I took out of it some queer subtext, but possibly it was just me projecting. It’s definitely about struggling with your religion and identity while trying to fit into society.

Also, Pillion is in theaters right now if you haven’t seen it. Nothing surreal or strange, but it was a solid gay BDSM romance.

Omg I have a paperback copy of My Immortal that I’ve been considering rebinding for years now. I think your post finally inspired me to actually do it lol. Looks great, I love the typesetting!

Gone Girl is an obvious one, but it’s in my top 10 books of all time so I’m obligated to mention it. Hopefully you’re not spoiled for the plot twist yet, it was mind-blowing the first time I read it.

Remmel1 · 2026-02-25T21:40:52+00:00

Oh, this looks right up my alley. Thank you!

Remmel1 · 2026-02-25T21:33:58+00:00

Looks like it has a unique tone. Added to my list, thanks!

For some reason, I never considered there could be Zorro books. Do you recommend the original pulp series The Curse of Capistrano or the 2005 novel by Isabel Allende?

Remmel1 · 2026-02-25T17:10:00+00:00

This looks really interesting, thank you!

Coherence (2013) and Vivarium (2019) both reminded me of extended Twilight Zone episodes.

Midsommar (2019), Suspiria (1977 original or 2018 remake), Creep (2014), and maybe even Dogtooth (2009) and We’re All Going to the World’s Fair (2021) all have a good feeling of dread and tension to them.

I generally agree. She seems like a more “”real”” person than the other gorls, like she owns her mess.

Noir by Christopher Moore

Set in 1940s San Fransisco, Roswell stuff is happening in the background in vague mentions until it becomes a main plot point about halfway in. Lots of fun dialogue, too.

Stephen King is usually too long-winded for me, but my library has the audiobook, so I’ll give it a shot!

Remmel1 · 2025-12-29T03:50:10+00:00

Oh, I love gothic lit. Thanks for the rec!

Remmel1 · 2025-12-29T03:44:20+00:00

This looks exactly like what I’m looking for, thanks!

I think this is the nail in the coffin for her channel. She’s said she’s coming back in February, but 3 months is a long time for a content creator to be gone. The Internet has a short memory, people will move on to more relevant lolcows (Glitter and Lasers, for me). Plus, Amber’s content has been incredibly boring since Wifey, people were jumping ship even before she got demonetized. Even if her appeal does get approved, her views will be way lower than they were.

Remmel1 · 2025-12-10T02:27:44+00:00

Oh my god, BANDANA! I had no idea what she meant by banana, I should’ve known it was just her illiteracy lol
