conclave (2024) would be PERFECT for a children's hospital
Venus in furs where everything is the same but there are fleas in Wanda's furs and she catches them so she's constantly itching her scalp
Nicotine addicts when you don't understand their niche nickname for their favourite product and when you are able to sell them "only" 4 packs of the smokes because that's all the store has: 😡😤🤬😠👹🤬😤😠🤬👹😡😤🤬😠👹🤬😤😠🤬👹😤🤬😠
“do you want to talk about it?”

Haha I lowkey am only capable of feeling emotional empathy towards people in which I see a significant portion of myself in and it's profoundly impacting my ability to connect with people around me and I feel like a monster hahaha what is wrong with me (like I genuinely feel more empathy towards plushies than towards people).
Couple times when someone asked me why I don't eat meat I responded with "I have empathy" but I only recently realized that it's all just cognitive empathy. When I think about cows being raped to produce milk I don't feel anything, I just know it's wrong.
There's only a handful of people I ever genuinely cared about (two of which are not even irl but from here which feels pathetic) and it's blowing my mind that normal people just feel that all the time. Most of the time if I'm afraid of upsetting someone or accidentally hurting someone it's only because I am afraid of the consequences it would have for ME. Seriously what is wrong with me? This can't be just autism.
“But that wasn’t really speech, that was an eloquent moaning, a weeping of a sick mortally sick soul.”
— Venus in Furs, Leopold von Sacher-Masoch, 1870
as a society i don’t think we talk enough about how fucking funny bride of reanimator really is. the main antagonist of the movie is the decapitated head of the bad guy from the first movie but with a pair of bat wings sewn onto him. herbert tries to bribe dan into frankenstein activities by offering him his dead girlfriend’s heart and it WORKS. herbert then gets so mad that dan’s having sex with a woman that he decides to stick a random arm and leg together and bring it to life to distract himself. it immediately strangles him. that fisheye lens shot of herbert when he’s calling hill’s head a “no-body”. francesca’s dog getting a human arm put on it which is clearly just a guy holding up his hand behind a regular dog. herbert is regularly lurking in the walls. simply the line “my god, they’re using tools!” the movie starts with herbert and dan at war in PERU??? the last movie ended in massachusetts. there’s a specific “goop wrangler” listed in the credits. peak cinema i dare say.
The sheer amount of femboys in Sacher-Masoch's work is astonishing
