thinking about how horror movie protagonists are generally way too chill and calm, like if I found a stranger sitting on my living room couch in the middle of the night I'd lose my entire goddamn mind, forget encountering a ghoul or some other variety of paranormal weirdo

I propose that we free ourselves of the subsurvient tyranny of being “followers” of people online and adopt more empowering terms such as “monitors” or “observers”. Then when people talk about having “four thousand monitors” the full creepiness of this state of affairs will be much clearer.
