I was talking to a friend of mine the other day about the long abandoned video game demo, P.T, a PTSD inducing horror teaser that went on to be scrapped by game publisher, Konami, before the project had gotten on its feet. I was arguing that the real horror ...
Fear of the unknown

Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, Aug. 8, 2020
Though I am certainly no stranger to handling the horrific in my creations, horror as a genre is something I never dabbled in before.
Horror scares me the same way comedy does!
While I can crack jokes, I always feel I can never do it on demand, or consistently think ...
It's Not Yours

We interpret things differently.
I'll give an example from the 2000's version of The Hills Have Eyes (spoilers ahead).

For better or for worse, we are creatures of categorizations. We love to label things, and to sort them into neat little boxes so that we are absolutely certain we know what to expect when dealing with each one. It is that sense of familiarity that we are looking for ...
Wounded Characters
Tantz_Aerine at 12:00AM, July 25, 2020
There is a reason why in fanfiction archives there's a whole category of stories called “hurt/comfort”, where one of the main characters of a specific IP is injured, and others (usually an unlikely person or whoever the author is shipping with the injured one) have to take care ...
