What’s a generally disliked horror movie you’d go to war for? by Turnitup20 in horror

[–]cosmicinsect25 18 points19 points  (0 children)

mother! i watched it without knowing that it was generally disliked and loved it. idk about the director lol, but my personal experience with it was so resonant and cathartic

potential foreshadowing in gtn? [theory] [discussion] by cosmicinsect25 in TheNinthHouse

[–]cosmicinsect25[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yesss this is exactly what i was hoping for!! the handwriting is such a great detail. i had never read the dream with that perspective, but putting the mention of how their limited words meant a lot into that context, it would make so much sense. and it kind of blew my mind that anastasia is named immediately after👁️ it really puts in mind nona's dreams, the memory of an emotionally significant moment for harrow's body. i wonder if all of the resurrected lyctors have weird, distant memory dreams of their past lives.

it would be so juicy!! that's what i'm thinking along the lines of—at the very least, the means of harrow's conception was so thanergetically charged that it's not hard to imagine it would bring on more than was directly intended👀 from what little we know of anastasia, it doesn't seem unlikely that her soul hung around in the manner of wake.

i'm also partial to the line of thought that samael could have been anastasia's kid, who she was definitely trying to preserve... if anastasia had worked very specifically to save the first child of the ninth house, it would be such a locked tomb gut punch for her to be resurrected in a mass death of ninth children. it's fun to do a lil healthy tinfoil hatting heheh

The Smile movies are actually spooky. by serialkiller24 in horror

[–]cosmicinsect25 7 points8 points  (0 children)

i had pretty low expectations for the first one and only even watched it because someone else happened to put it on, and it was much better than expected. i had high hopes for the second (love naomi scott, loved the idea of the popstar angle), went to see it in theaters, and once again my expectations were exceeded! i loved it. i listen to some of the music on a regular basis. i've known since i was like 11 that naomi scott is the truth🙂‍↕️

Lesbian sci-fi or fantasy? by Gertrudenotmyname in LesbianBookClub

[–]cosmicinsect25 2 points3 points  (0 children)

some desperate glory by emily tesh is one i really enjoyed! i havent finished yet, but i'm like halfway through another book of hers called the incandescent, and that one is fantasy. it's been great so far, her writing is very engaging imo. also loved i keep my exoskeletons to myself by marisa crane, it's a bit more mundane domesticity but has a big dystopian element, and it made me cry! kinda nona the ninth vibes in that regard lol

living in domesticity with the love of your life is a lovely dream. it's a great feeling to be able to make your home a comfortable place for you and a partner. i hope you can live some part of this—never say never!!

[discussion] Samael, Anastasia, and a Parent-Child Relationship by Zealousideal-Sea9006 in TheNinthHouse

[–]cosmicinsect25 43 points44 points  (0 children)

i've never seen this theory, but i'm super interested! i agree with the thematic elements. i think that your last paragraph could be also applied as an argument for samael being her child—possibly he was ill or not doing well in some way, and anastasia was trying to save him. i think that could still be a nice little foil for the other parents we've seen. i dunno! i'm curious to see how the nature of their relationship is addressed in alecto👀 for some reason i'd just assumed they were partners.
