this doesn't stop me from trying again & again. i have more! i have multiple going* right now!

*i draw in them approximately once in a blue moon but i keep them floating around the house JUST IN CASE

i have so many books like that! my TBR is incredibly daunting & it doesn't help that i go through periods where i read like a machine (2023 was a BIG book year) & periods like this year where i barely read at all. so many books so little time

my friend @malacandrax.bsky.social regularly shares their sketchbooks & it's SO inspiring to me - they're full of actual sketches, studies & media tests, not the kind of fully-finished art books people pass off as "sketchbooks" online, but they're still intimidatingly good 😂 i give up so fast

my project this morning was removing drawn-on pages from 5+ old sketchbooks that were anywhere from 15-40% complete, filing the drawings in a folder, & neatening up the remaining blank books to bring to a local free store. i am ASS at keeping sketchbooks

my journey reading this 😲➡️☝️😃➡️✊😳➡️😅

(it's me, i'm the guy that's always trying to tell people how these books were unfairly marketed / are poorly represented by fan culture & deserve a chance, haha)

you should get the tea it sounds rad

and i know Noroi has so many accolades! i just…🫣 did not vibe with the effects or pacing haha

i did see Incantation & felt like it MOSTLY did it for me but had a couple of moments that felt cheap/overdone! it joins As Above So Below & a couple others for me as being “aaaalmost there” haha

of course What We Do In The Shadows (2014) is a perfect movie & technically found footage, but horror comedies get their own separate lists

i could probably add a few more - i haven't seen REC (2007) since it came out, i should rewatch it. i vastly prefer 2016 Blair Witch to the original. i have no strong feelings about Paranormal Activity? various others that get lauded (Noroi, Hell House LLC, Savageland) i didn't love

my own personal found footage horror recs in chronological order

Ghostwatch (1992)
Lake Mungo (2008)
Mr. Jones (2013)
The Borderlands (2013)
The Taking of Deborah Logan (2014)
Creep (2014) & Creep 2 (2017)
Gonjiam: Haunted Asylum (2018)
Host (2020)

obsessed 😍

as usual, a mix of a lot of narratives, but in the most memorable bit i was spear-hunting a spider woman through some kind of funhouse (i got her)

if it's the same as what i have (dishydrosis) i feel you 😩 it's absolute hell

ohhhh i want to put these everywhere…

oh absolutely. it's great for just gauging interest really quick

i don't want your written input i want your percentage on answers of MY choosing. like a tyrant

despite Jey telling me to read FFAK for literally almost a decade, somehow i did not manage it until now. but the stars aligned & i think i came to it when i needed it the most 🙏

yesssss one of the best decisions i made this year was to binge all of FFAK (& NRD), i'm so delighted to see this

Proceeds from our last two sales have been life changing for many of us - we've fixed cars, payed rents, supported family and visited loved ones.

I can personally guarantee both the incredibly quality of this collection of filth, and the real, tangible difference your support makes. THANK YOU!
