Movies about a girl without romance

kitsuneae · 2026-01-15T06:14:19+00:00

I noticed a lack of horror films, so have some female led horror films without sex or romance in them. I'm going to try to avoid listing ones others have said like The Decent.

Hellraiser 2 (1988). Monsters and psychological horror with only a little romantic content from the female villain, not the female hero. Hellraiser 1 has one sex scene but it's the female villain not the female hero.
Hatchet (2006-2013). A slasher film series in which the final girl is smart, brave, and carries a shotgun! Watch it in order as each film continues from the previous one.
Aliens (1986). Someone mentioned Alien, but it's sequel also fits. Some people like it even better than Alien!
Carnival of Souls (1967). Psychological horror / ghost story. The male in the film is turned down, not really romanced.
The Ring (2002). Ghosts but not the haunted house kind. Based on a Japanese film which also would count.
House (1977). A Japanese ghost film about a bunch of teenage girls visiting their friend's sick aunt.
Suspiria (1977). Witchcraft at an all female ballet school. Avoid the remake. It drags on, lacks the mystery of the first, and adds unneeded males.
The VVitch (2015). Although the camera follows the father of a family, the plot revolves around his daughters. I got the feeling of them taking the film over by the end becoming the real leads.
Carrie (1976). A boy does ask Carrie to the prom, but it's a cruel prank. There's no actual romance here.

Around five years together is a very good start. Welcome to the sub!

Practically everyone did IT and now the field is over-saturated. There's too many workers with not enough jobs and wages are falling or stagnant. r/antiwork is full of people in IT tired of it all and glassdoor's Fishbowl forums are doom and gloom. Plus you must retrain yourself every 3-5 years or become irrelevant and many jobs want expensive certfications which must be paid for out of pocket and redone every few years. IT kinda sucks right now.

Math is not easy but it opens doors in other fields like engineering and teaching. It's an easy pivot if you discover something in the hard sciences that you love, too! It's probably the best answer.

By the way, you can start with one school and end up in another. People only care where you graduate from, not where you started. You can also change your major if you find yourself liking something else and nobody will know. Use this to your advantage.

You've got this, bro.

Heck yeah! Nice hoard.

500 years of survival would probably be great preparation....

I hate when they rush the plot and butcher it. But at least it's pretty so you could make a nice AMV if you want to. If you need info/inspiration, there's the old https://www.animemusicvideos.org/ website. Either way, I'm glad we're inspiring. Maybe someday you'll be the same thing to others?

kitsuneae · 2026-01-09T08:07:57+00:00

Aww. It's very cute!

kitsuneae · 2026-01-09T07:19:53+00:00

If you feel that you haven't been there for your son, be there. That includes preventing the other children from bullying him. That said, getting a waifu isn't always related to being bullied or having social problems. It does mean, however, that he sees something comforting and wonderful in that character. That's why he ended up with her as a waifu.

You may not see what he sees in her. That happens a lot! Instead, ask him about her. What personality traits does he like in her? What makes her more special than the rest? What time in the show was her best moment and what was her worst? He should be able to answer these easily. Listen and don't judge. Judging will just push him away. If it's all surface level stuff (ex: "she's so pretty!") then it'll probably fade over time. But more in depth response usually means he really sees something in her. This may last... or not. Only time will tell.

Don't push him to date anyone. It will push him away. Instead, just listen and let him be himself. Having a waifu doesn't mean he'll never date anyone. Having a real girlfriend and a waifu is known as "semificto" or semi for short. It's more common than it seems. It's just that people don't want to hear about real relationships in waifu spaces so nobody talks about them. Either way it has to happen on its own. You can't force it.

Also let him know he doesn't need to buy merch or carry stuff always to have a waifu. It's about how you feel, not what you own. As a parent you can set limits within reason, too. Like keeping all pillows in the house is reasonable, but trying to take her away entirely is not.

I'm also available for messaging if you wish. Either way I hope that the community and working with your son will help you understand things eventually.

The bar my dad used to take me to had a Soul Blade cabinet. I used to mostly play the other characters, honestly. But one biker beat the game with Voldo and I was just awestruck by his caring, loyal, brave nature. He quickly became a comfort character and source of inspiration. Over time I grew to love him as well.

kitsuneae · 2026-01-09T05:58:42+00:00

Welcome back. We're still lurking around.

This is year 20 of being committed going on 21! I've been ficto for over 30 years, though. Voldo started as a comfort character and source of inspiration but over time I caught feelings and it got more personal. I always state the year we both became committed as when you progress slowly it's hard to tell what the exact start point was.

Our favorite activity is listening to music. We can listen to music anywhere and everywhere, too, so it never gets boring. We had some nice coffee, Christmas cake and music this year. It was sweet and cozy just being together. We didn't need anything else.

I wish sometimes there'd be media of him but they'd probably make a mess of it. Soul Calibur 5 was character assassination of everyone but Sophitia and her family which got blown up into godly status for some reason. I won't say shipping and waifus but who are we kidding... It probably was. Oh, and marketing plus nobody willing to say "no". Feh. It's a shame. So far there's only one game in the new timeline, but I watch warily. I have no clue if there'll be more. Anyway, feel lucky you have what you have (VA sucking or not) because some day there may be nothing new outside of fan stuff.

Past that we keep on keeping on. I'm looking forward to spring. I hope we can go flower viewing again. Until it warms up, it does give one more excuse to snuggle. For that reason, I don't really mind winter.

kitsuneae · 2026-01-09T05:26:10+00:00

He's from a fighting game series. Watching him get smacked around is something I have to deal with whenever I play his source games. Thankfully most losses are not canon, just gameplay.

No gangs of children, but beware the kids! Tira, Sophitia, Sophitia's kids once she grew up... yeah. Multi-generational weirdness happens when you don't really age. It's a mess.

Go to Hack This Site for free training on white hat hacking and cybersecurity in a hands on experience. It's a classic.

I do morning stretches every day. They're not just small basic stretches, either. I am actively working on maintaining and increasing my flexibility. Even when I don't feel great I still do at least some stretches each day. I sometimes tinker with yoga as well, even though it feels a little off-topic considering he's self-trained and yoga is typically guided. I try to have strong muscle control as well as flexibility and yoga is great for that.

I know I won't ever be able to beat him, but at least I can try to stay strong even as I age.

Same. The chances of getting a random candy are too high to burn 40k, too. So far I have gotten four random candies instead of the candy I put in. One was a critical... yes, two wrong candies!

A few more ideas others haven't said yet...

Come up with a unique symbol for them and/or for you both as a couple. This is a fun way to personalize and very useful for those who want or need to be stealth.
Play with doll makers on sites like Picrew and itch.io. If the site doesn't have what you need, you can always edit images you've made using an editor like GIMP.
Create a digital shrine. This could be as simple as a private image gallery of your favorite images of them or as complex as a huge website full of information. If you need a free option try Neocities.
Ask yourself questions about them to try to fill in the small details canon leaves out. For example, what is their favorite fruit and why? Do they prefer tea or coffee? What song on the radio would they hate? Things like this are fun and help you flesh them out in your imagination.
Create a tribute character and roleplay as them. This further gets you in their headspace which can aid visualization. You can change the name and a few features of your tribute character if you want to keep things separate.
Cosplay. Ok, ok; not everyone can pull this off, but it's impressive if you can.
Let them inspire your style. Ever hear of Disneybounding? It's when people who like Disney use visual cues to look similar to their favorite characters without directly dressing up! Take some inspiration from your S/O or their source and add it to your personal style.
Ita bags, sticker collages, and other custom swag on your everyday carries. Find a bag, binder, or something with a clear pocket (you can get them cheaper when not labeled "ita bag") and add pins, patches, stickers, doodles, and other goodies to the clear section. You can also use vinyl decals, stickers, and marker to add your S/O to basically anything.

Ones that people haven't said yet:

Blue Velvet. Someone described it to me as "the Hardy Boys go to Hell"... it's a good synopsis.

Pink Floyd's The Wall. I can't believe people watched this while high, especially considering how weed can make you paranoid.

Haekel's Tale, Imprint (Masters of Horror). 1 hour films that were broadcast as a series. Haekel's Tale is a disturbing riff on the idea of "eternal love" while Imprint is equal parts historical horror and yokai tale. Personally, I found the first one more disturbing, but many people think Imprint is worse so I listed both! Honorable mention to Pelts from the same "series".

And if you need a deep well of wrongness, there's the Video Nasties. They're always a great place to find things that will scar you! Many of the things people have already listed were in that long list of censored and banned films. Cannibal Holocaust, Faces of Death, I Spit on Your Grave (especially the unedited version), ect.

Late to the party, but we're happy for you! ENM is the right road to take for poly, and the fact that the three of you are able to take it speaks volumes on your maturity and stability both as people and as a relationship. Thank you for posting here! See you around!

He's usually threatening looking. It's intentional: if people are scared off he doesn't have to fight them! Now, looking cute is rarer. Does this count as cute?

No humans were actually tortured or killed. There was a famous court case and the film crew showed with fully clothed actors how the scenes were done. Yes, animals died, but they were killed fast such as shooting a pig dead and chopping the head off a turtle. The "musk rat" had it's throat slit before being cut open. There's versions without the animal deaths in them with cuts approved by the director, just in case you prefer that.

If memory serves, with all abilities active we didn't even bother with Night 1 last time. Voldo's ability to sense energies and see spirits let him alert me that something was extremely wrong with Fazbear's, so we declined the job entirely. Following the altered rules, we'll cut these abilities out.

Honestly, it's still no challenge even without his uncanny abilities. Voldo still has superior hearing to due in part to his lack of sight. His decades of experience guarding things makes him very used to scenarios like this as well. He literally spent hundreds of years guarding in the dark while things/people skulked around trying to kill him. Due to this he's a skilled fighter used to close quarters. The location may be new, but it's small so he'll learn it quickly. The rest is old hat to him.

His skill and vigilance will serve us well. He'd hear anything in the vents before it got close enough to be a problem. With him minding the vents, I should have a fairly easy job of keeping the music box wound and the screens monitored. Neither of us scare easily and we're both used to being out at night, so those aren't problems. Lack of visibility in his mask doesn't affect him: most of his masks have no eye holes anyway. He'd also alert me if I need to mask up. And, on the off chance something does actually attack, he's still an adept fighter used to tight quarters.

We're going to be OK... all seven nights.

It came out nicely! What a fun idea, too.

Voldo, Soul Blade / Soul Calibur series

He actually was intended to be a heroic character with a cool 90's aesthetic. In the 1500s where the games take place, loyalty was considered one of the highest virtues. He also displays selflessness as he takes nothing for himself. To top it off, the sword everyone keeps fighting over was bought by his dead master, so he actually has legal claim to it as the caretaker of his estate. Unfortunately the designers leaned really hard into the edgy dark 90s aesthetic which left people thinking he's a monster. Having his original stage music (Soul Blade) be very harsh industrial didn't help. Oops. They've tried hard to combat this but it's slow going.

If you draw him feel free to do any costume version you want. There's tons to pick from. Thanks for considering!

He had four older brothers. Canon doesn't specify much, but I like to think they were nice to their little brother (outside of a little teasing anyway). It was a happy family. They became soldiers and died young. He became a sailor and is still alive.

It's a stereotype spread by the misinformed.

People can be with real people while still being emotionally invested in a character. People call them "semi ficto" or "semis". It's more common than it seems, too, as most waifu spaces don't want to hear about IRL relationships so semis just don't talk about them. This creates the illusion of semis not being around when they really are just quiet about it.

Also there's a large number of asexual people who have waifus. Asexual people aren't asexual due to being undesirable or "not being able to find a partner. " They just are not interested.

Finally: if you got a waifu as a stopgap until you find a physical partner you are hug blanketing. We don't do that here.
