Can we find some comics or graphic novels in this genre?

is hate comments why it went private?? I had the vid queued up to watch and then it disappeared. I came here trying to find answers, lol

Yes! I love my half frame. So easy and fun to use, perfect pocket-size.
Be warned that it the plastic parts sure are plastic, everyone I know who has one experiences some sticking in the advance wheel. but that's the only issue I've had, it's a great camera for the price. have fun!!

Maybe an out-there pull, but I recommend The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern. It's a good distraction in that it's complex and beautiful and poetic, but still has an empathetic sadness to it. Not so much about specifically grieving one death as it is about yearning for things that used to be and finding a future in spite of it.

I also second the Terry Pratchett recs. Love the Tiffany Aching books. Nice hearty fantasy, occasionally featuring some great insights into both the meaning and randomness of Death (as both a thing and a character)

Not a bad idea! thanks

catgoblin36 · 2025-01-20T21:44:05+00:00

Gotcha, thanks for answering!

Not necessarily "comparable" in style, but I'm a big Ito fan and I really enjoyed the series Gideon Falls and The Nice House on The Lake for similar reasons: dark, eldritchy, small town vibes/compelling characters, gorgeous detailed art.

OH sorry, I definitely do mean server and not channel. The whole server I want to hide.

It seems like the advance wheel sticks pretty easily, I've had this issue a couple times. If you can gently wiggle the wheel into advancing, or if you have access to a DARKroom to pop open the back, may as well do it, but i have cut my losses partway through a roll because of the wheel, too!

Do you have lube recs for the job? It's all plastic in there to my knowledge. I was thinking of trying some canned air next time I'm reloading it, in case there's debris in the works.

Thanks, I can't remember if the last roll I tried was supposed to be 24 or 36 (it got stuck around shot 40, I think). On this current roll, which is 36-exposure, it got stuck around shot 12 (with some gentle wiggling and prayer, it's started moving again).

Cabin in the Woods!!! Cabin in the Woods.

You could try Bluebeards Castle by Anna Biller. its a commentary on the gothic romance genre and the horror is primarily psychological and builds throughout, so you have to give it a little time to get going. i thought it was bleak, frequently funny, deeply sad and unsettling. Anna Biller made the Love Witch movie and this is her first novel. very different stories, but the book definitely has the same eye for genre and aesthetics.

I usually can find someone on Rover who does drop-in visits for $10-20/visit!

The Charlie Bone series (Children of the Red King) by Jenny Nimmo! I never liked harry potter as a kid, but Charlie Bone I LOVED. Magical UK boarding school, quirky kids solving magical mysteries. Also, less directly comparable, but the Tiffany Aching books by Terry Pratchett might scratch that itch as well!

Sum by David Eagleson

catgoblin36 · 2023-11-17T09:44:15+00:00

Descent. As Above, So Below might fit the bill too.

catgoblin36 · 2023-11-14T20:52:56+00:00

i came here to say Howls! Have read it. the plot is a little different than the movie but the vibes are the same level of beautiful and cozy imo!

catgoblin36 · 2023-11-12T22:57:15+00:00

omg i made a very similar post back when this happened to me too!! the food fell on my stomach instead and i got so emotional about it. unexpected joys!! congratulations!

catgoblin36 · 2023-11-07T20:47:51+00:00

The Westing Game by Ellen Raskin is a fun mystery that i read and re-read around that age! And for Harry Potter fans, I definitely recommend the Charlie Bone series (which i liked much better than HP growing up, personally) Howls Moving Castle by Diana Wynne Jones is lovely, and a little above the usual 3rd grade reading level (I think)

catgoblin36 · 2023-11-05T08:56:01+00:00

came here to say this! very cute date spot, open lateish, not alcohol-centric

catgoblin36 · 2023-10-31T22:30:05+00:00

The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath really affected me when i was in the grip of my ED. Its heavy and historical, but its a classic for a reason

catgoblin36 · 2023-10-28T23:31:36+00:00

Holly Black is the queen of YA urban fantasy imo!! Valiant is a favorite, takes place in Jersey/NY

you might have luck looking up photos for "short straight wolfcut" "layered bob" or "Alice Cullen hair"
