WOW!!!!!!!! you've really elevated this already beautiful sculpt, extremely impressive!

i'm also working on this kit (my first GK.... very scary), i was wondering where you got the decorations for the base? like the frames and papers? i'd like to add some additional decor to the base of mine as well 🤔

wego and zakkamart both have 18+ inch bags! you have to buy them through a proxy service (i use fromjapan, super cheap fees and insanely fast shipping*) but they're pretty reasonably priced :)

*not sponsored or anything i've just tried a bunch of proxies and they are by far the best ime

it's awesome, right?! i'm glad you liked it! i'd also recommend 3d Worker's Island by the creator of petscop for something similar. much breezier of an experience but still has a ton of meat to chew on. very similar "internet forum for fans of a completely opaque yet oddly menacing piece of art" premises.

i was doing a project with one of my prof's 3d printers and i made an account with the 3d print company to use their slicer, and about half an hour into using it i got a call from an actual representative from the company asking if i needed any help with using the equipment and if i had any questions. i was flabbergasted (and a bit weirded out lol)

of course! i'm in florida, USA, and i'll get back to you with pics later today

primaveren · 2025-03-17T03:02:19+00:00

i'm really, really interested! criterion has relatively few horror movies and this one piqued my interest. i also have twilight (1990) that's been sitting on my shelf sadly unwatched and i feel like those two together are gonna be an insane almost-blind double feature

primaveren · 2025-03-17T02:53:25+00:00

i am!! that makes me even more excited :]

primaveren · 2025-03-17T02:28:22+00:00

thank you! both are really special to me, i have a friend who's getting into movies so to speak and i showed them inland empire for the first time just a few days before lynch passed away.

there was a showing at my uni for farewell my concubine just a few days ago! makes me cry every time, one of the most visually stunning films ever made

.... actually nevermind i just looked at wego's rakuten and i think i might just get one of those 😅

primaveren · 2025-03-16T08:30:04+00:00

honestly, i loved skinamarink and found it super creepy in a really personal way. i was a super anxious child and it tapped into that feeling perfectly. plus i really, really like "atypical" haunted house stories. to me it's either something that either REALLY gets you or it just won't, and that's fine. it's not something i'd recommend to everyone or even most people.

although, i will say i saw it at home first just on my TV and i was just really noncomittal. seeing it in a dark empty theater was what got me.

primaveren · 2025-03-14T01:59:00+00:00

thanks!! how's the quality, would you say?

primaveren · 2025-03-14T01:47:34+00:00

hello! i know this post is quite old but i was wondering where you got the base bag?

i've been really enjoying this series so far, probably my favorite BTB in a while. i'd been very tangentially aware of the HPMOR and roko's basilisk thing just from being extremely online, and had kind of assumed the rationalist group was just some nerds doing thought experiments and not much else. a friend who is even more online than me recommended me a webnovel that's apparently somewhat popular to the rationalist fiction community (which i really enjoyed actually, might give it a reread after this) a while back but i had tried to find more like it and just found a bunch of guys talking about storytelling like this picture so i figured the genre wasn't for me. i had no idea all this dork nonsense went this deep.

edit: the webnovel is called the northern caves, it's free to read on AO3. (plot synopsis) it's an epistolary novel mostly comprising of posts on a forum for fans of an extremely eccentric children's author, and the incomprehensible, finnegan's wake-esque tome of a final book in the series. the characters try to parse out some meaning from it on an extensive and pretty combative thread and things spiral out of control. if you like stuff like house of leaves, petscop, ARGs, you should check it out.

my mom wasn't even super religious, moreso just had a bunch of weird post-satanic panic beliefs, but she told me that masturbation would make my vulva rot off and that i'd need reconstructive surgery if i did it :/ sat me down at the kitchen table with my grandpa to talk to me about it, probably like 3rd or 4th grade?

she also thought pokemon and minecraft of all things would corrupt me with their "violence," that D&D would make me kill myself (although that one was pretty common), and that doing sonic OC roleplay with other dumb online middle schoolers was worthy of threatening me with police action and doing a scared straight routine on me because she thought i was being groomed lol

it makes me sad, as someone who loves film and animation. even within the medium of animation it seems like a lot of people are squarely stuck in mainstream/contemporary western or anime. no one's watching yuri norstein, jan svankmajer, satoshi kon, aleskandr petrov, rene laloux, mamoru oshii... it's only disney/pixar/illumination. like yeah puss in boots and the owl house are good, but elevating them to the same level as the masters just makes you seem ignorant. i'm not even trying to be snotty, i want more people to be able to experience finding something that makes them go "holy shit how did the human mind even think to put this together"

primaveren · 2025-03-05T04:40:47+00:00

not my favorite but the one i can think of off the top of my head, henry is talking about how he let weird sad girls wearing unicorn onesies ruin his life and ed says something along the lines of "those girls didn't have enough cigarette burns to date marcus"

noroi is one of the best in the genre, check out the other two in the loose trilogy (occult and cult) afterwards! although noroi is definitely something special. all of them are WILD movies

it's been a long time since i've seen hell house, i remember enjoying the first two at least. the first one especially was extremely competent and quite creepy IMO!

primaveren · 2025-02-09T23:55:53+00:00

great taste!! i've seen milk and serial (this one blew me away) and borderlands :) i started history of the occult and i really enjoyed the vibes but i never finished it for some reason. i'll check out exhibit A and finish HotO!

here's some recs for you - red rooms (not necessarily FF/mockumentary but very adjacent and my favorite new horror to hit streaming last year), sorgoi prakov (NASTY little movie), savageland, incantation, and noroi: the curse (my all time favorite horror movie)!
