in the finale the big bad demon that tricked their asses real good basically rearranges all of her abstract crayon drawings and GASP it's ABBYZOU 💀💀💀 it also doesn't help that when I locked in on the Abby part I was like "BITCH HER NAME IS ABBY ARE YOU SLOW" just. not a terrible movie. but funny 😭

it's also the thing I remember the most I just love her being like "OH MY GOD I WAS DRAWING **THAT**?!" cuz like what WERE you doing why DID my brain just go "crayon scribbling, she's possessed, clearly" and not think further on why it was like literally crayons

unfortunate that I watched Undertone twice and both times the MC idly drawing Child Horror Crayon drawings like it builds up like a joke I'm like "ah yes, the horror child sickness she has it" and then it ratchets up to ten in the climax and becomes "OH NO I WAS DRAWING *THAT*?!" 💀💀💀

honestly thinking about when Frankenstein was fuckin penned: that probably would be more accurate, huh this weird guy obsessed with alchemy doesn't just go "oh no this thing I made from corpses? it's looking corpsey" no he'd probably be like "I have to patent this and sell it somehow" 😭

like we could go back and edit shit that we compare AI to and make it dumber and it would be more accurate Dr. Frankenstein took one look at his creation and said "yeah that'll work fine, actually I got it close enough" end story 💀"I did a good job actually I'm gonna make hella money"

we are the birds getting confused because scientists painted something to look like us like it's actually THAT LEVELS we're SO EASILY TRICKED and we really just did not grasp that before chatbots

"that was so quaint wasn't it" I actually watched Her and no it really wasn't quaint I think you're talking about like the fuckin zeitgeist or larger cultural osmosis Shallow Impression of what Her was Her fuckin acted like the intelligence was almost human we aren't EVEN THERE IT'S THE BIRDS

actually insane to hear someone compare ai psychosis to the movie "her" in 2026 we're fucking past that man, go back to the parasocial essay where the original video fucking lays out BIRDS TAKING INANIMATE MIMICS AS THEIR LOVERS

Genshin potentially being more mature simply by having more adult human characters would also be a worse indictment i think we're close to that point don't get me wrong: there's a lot of BS in genshin that adds up to "why do you make every character a child/baby brained" but Infnity Nikki 🙃🙃🙃
000
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
I am very convinced at this point that Infinity Nikki is trying to get children to spend their parent's money on all the stupid ass deals they have like prior Nikki games to say they are more mature than this one it's one of the worst indictments I can think of

I don't know what else goes through the dev's heads except "SHIT WE'RE ON A DEADLINE WE HAVE TO PRODUCE SOMETHING NEW AND SHINY EVERY FUCKING MONTH HAHAHA" and they don't realize: the players are gonna feel fuckin obligated to play their SHITTY POORLY PLANNNED LIMITED TIME GAMES

Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
the wheel now shows a bee "BEES ARE SHINY, RIGHT" you're so fucking quirky and childlike little prince 🙃Little ChatGPT perhaps--does he actually think bees are shiny in the book? "NO NO NO THE OTHER SHINY THINGS" I'm just holding my face as the wheel reveals a star why is this game BABYING ME
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
the little prince converses with some fuckass character from the fuckin book I guess "those things in the sky" game full tilt fucking pauses, I have to figure out this is a gameplay part I move a wheel: it shows a picture of a firefly "like flies?" "no they're shiny" move the wheel again

the baby talking happening in both Genshin and Infinity Nikki can only be studied by me it seems everyone else just blithely accepts it every fucking atom in my body screams meanwhile

Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 25/09/2026
fuck ass "little prince" collab ruined the Infinity Nikki update for me so quickly yes, that "little prince" french post-rev children's text I am getting baby talked by a gacha game that also said "here's a huge limited time map where YOU CAN'T JUMP OR RUN" you know, just like babies

oh god it even applies to the main character's name being spelled Feyre but pronounced Feyra we're not doing a lot of deep linguistic shit with names I think you can just go ahead and spell it the way it's pronounced and save us the headache-- why is she even called that it's a bad name overall
000
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
imagine having the effect of sounding like a sentence fragment and it's not technically a sentence fragment-- that's an "in reference to" type issue like lacking context and asking readers to fill in gaps where you don't explicitly say exactly what you mean so it sounds sentence fragmenty
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I don't wanna bother to confirm but it really sounds like she has literal sentence fragments cool cool cool cool
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
prose just being dramatic for no reason asks hypothetical question--NO ✋😞STOP I CANNOT GO FURTHER like that's at the very least quite goofy and it is like "what the fuck do you imagine an animal cries out for you doofus" 💀"why are you seemingly confused by this"
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
also those aren't mutually exclusive things and it's a weird way to describe like what fear asking for help what do you mean you scream to sort of resist or stop death 😭you cry out in pain or for help, those are definitely more distinct and make more sense
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
at the very least she has goofy nigh-imaginative asides she shoots a wolf with an arrow and it's like--she's uncertain if the wolf cried out in pain... or if it was crying out to resist death SHE DIDN'T WANT TO KNOW ✋ girl you randomly had that thought you can at least finish your thought
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
this is some first draft shit that nobody should have to read: cuz you can just rephrase the entire sentence to say explicitly what you mean and this shit got published and pushed onto people fuckin edit it, maybe

Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
instead of saying "people only assume ash trees are effective because they say the fairies make sure ash trees aren't planted--" you know spice it up change it around but like SAY WHAT THE FUCK YOU MEAN THE FUCK I GOTTA PUZZLE OUT WHY THE ASH TREES ARE FUCKIN RARE INSTEAD
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
"we did not have proof that ash trees were effective against fairies, except for their sheer rarity" pause reflect she's referring to the fact that it's a fairy-supremacist society so fairies have made sure that ash trees are a rare sight basically this is a rumor, SHE'S NOT JUST SAYING **THAT**
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
uch not this book also being some real "I thought I said something but actually my brain tricked me into thinking I wrote something--in fact I just produced a miniature sentence puzzle my readers WILL STRUGGLE WITH" no editing ass 😒
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
cuz it's like you finally get to breath and Beloved gets to move on and rest and stop trying to kill her mom 😭you just want the trauma to stop and when Beloved gets casted out it feels like catharsis
000
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
and that's why that book is so good cuz it's so, so so heavy with the past trauma these people had to endure and literally the family has been out casted by their community so the community coming in to save them was heartfelt and very much how you write a narrative it had a purpose
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
it's not really uhhhh scary that Beloved haunts her mother it's extremely saD it's actually worse what happened to Beloved when she was a living child than anything her haint gets up to and Morrison knew that because Beloved just needed to be casted out by the community and some spirit healers
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
the book is just a lot heavier on the spiritual aspect and that's very hard to get to film especially the actual horror parts of the book the actual haunting is mostly Bizarre and Weird and Very Very VERY Sad it's not necessarily scary like her harrowing journey to gtfo of the plantation is
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
in fact I feel it in my bones that the main character was like "maybe she's just a selective mute from trauma" when she's not like "THAT'S LITERALLY THE HAINT SHE HAS BECOME A PHYSICAL PERSON" 💀 she mostly has trouble speaking and that's kinda just when she shows up as she is quiet otherwise
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
it's like this one shoulda been named bly manor and the second one shoulda been named Turning of the Screw Kind Of? some take on the turning of the screw to go from the netflix show to the book though? just immediately diminished the show IMMEDIATELY 💀FIRST PAGE
000
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
and I don't really hate the TV series I'm just like "not even close fucking whiffed that one hard" it's literally not even close to what the shit going on in the book is on a horror level or what was going on with that house just entirely "mildly inspired by" 🤔I'm sure Bly Manor coulda used that
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
this movie was like "yeah she's gonna come across as a disabled person for a VERY FUCKING LONG TIME actually YOU WILL BE MORE CONFUSED THAN YOU SHOULD BE" essentially is my take also it's weird to demonize someone who would have been disabled like that she's a haint she is NOT fuckin disabled
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I don't like making Beloved overly disabled coded like I think they have a passing thought like "maybe that's what's wrong with this Literal Haint 🤔odd behavior" the book gave me a lot more "we're not sure what's going on with her" mysterious vibes she really shifted behavior too much to tell
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
sorry not movie the series it does have an all right adaptation with Vincent Price and sapphic shit tho it just is not half as good as the novel and I don't think you could actually adapt something perfect without it being animated
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
Beloved and Haunting of Hill House???? man now I'm like, I shit on the Beloved Movie, I shit on the fucking reinterpolation of the fuckin popular ghost Netflix movie I think when it comes to horror and fantasy it's me discerning my tastes and when it comes to harder research it's ADHD brain shit 🤔
200
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
does it make literature or books enjoyable? so far in my adult life, only if you're writing me a really fucking great ghost story mr. king could never reach the levels of good Toni Morrison and Shirley Jackson did those were the best singular nights of my reading experience as an adult 😩
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
I like to think it's discernment but I know it's some real ADHD brain type shit it's me getting my brains blown out when I fuckin reread what actually happens in harry potter same part of my brain that does that? it does that for fucking everything and yes it's exhausting fine for writing tho
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
the reality of that is: you either have me or you don't if I gotta fucking pause to collect my thoughts and EMOTIONS while reading you've usually lost me if I like your book: I'm gonna finish it in a single sitting or at least read a good fuckin bit before I forget where I last was 🙃
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
so yeah I'm unhappy about a bitch making big mon mons writing mid tier fantasy slop where I don't even want to invest the time and energy into getting mad at it deeply--like actually reading this shit would make me go off too hard I can't read books good ngl it's a neurospicy thing atm
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
oh how does every sane person's favorite character die miss children's escapist fantasy writer well he gets pushed into curtains and his last remaining best friend is immediately like WE CAN'T DO SHIT, GANG WE GOTTA SPLIT HE'S DEFINITELY DEAD!!!! so we know he's dead 🤪I GOT AWARDS FOR THIS SHIT

Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
"OH DEAR WAS I WRITING AN ESCAPIST FANTASY NOVEL FOR CHILDREN?! well that's no good. THE MOLD TOLD ME TO KILL OFF THE SEXY GODFATHER WHO TURNS INTO A DOG AND HAS A FLYING MOTORCYCLE! THERE'S ADULT VERSIONS OF MY BOOK WHEEEEEEE"

Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
like I think it may have been designed to ruin and torment all of the remaining teenagers reading that's my only conclusion I could not comprehend a more profoundly bullshit plot to immediately place harry in WHILE HE HAS FULL BLOWN FULLY UNTREATED PTSD LIKE SHE JUST KNOWS IT'S HAPPENING BUT DGAF
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
it's like "he should have a persecution complex and everyone should tell him UM ACTUALLY HARRY: just because all of this is definitely a conspiracy against you, know your place, child--if you don't hear voldemort's plans then SURELY YOU WON'T GET INTO ANY TROUBLE OF YOUR OWN VOLITION"
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
he gets in trouble for protecting his muggle cousin against AN ESCAPED DEMENTOR IT'S LIKE hey that'S FUCKING BAD THAT SEEMS REALLY BAD if he's back at Privet Drive in sixth year I think Dumbledore actually resents Harry 🤔I wouldn't know, have not subjected myself to rereading the sixth one
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
so it's like a dementor proves that Harry's fucking protection spell is pretty much dogshit when Voldemort is Back In Action and HAS PEOPLE FUCKING WORKING FOR HIM, DUMBLEDORE WHOSE ACTUAL FAULT IT IS FFS AND HE GETS IN TROUBLE WITH THE MINISTRY just endless "wow such bullshit" in the 5th one
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
and you think "well surely that's not gonna be aggravating as fuck by I don't know the exact middle book" it's like she was constantly considering how to just ruin Harry's life and then promptly also went "BUT VOLDEMORT WAS FUCKING DUMB HE HAD NO IDEA HOW TO TORTURE YOU LIKE ME AND DMBLEDORE DID"
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
and Harry isn't getting in trouble because he specifically lives around muggles, no it's because he's not supposed to do magic .... they get summer homework assignments the movie said "FUCK THAT SHIT LMFAO" by the second movie
110
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
like HP went so wrong I don't even know how to explain it without getting mad 😭that shit had so many artificial limitations I had to write this story cuz it's actually absurd-- does everyone know that wizards can't fuckin do magic at home if they're underage
100
Lexy the Devil @lexicondevil.bsky.social · 12/09/2026
^ the non thriller non plot twist version of this is like Bella doesn't become a vampire until marriage because of weird Mormon shit instead of considering the writing potential of her just turning into a vampire sooner Harry is forced to live with the Dursleys 5ever + all HP's formulaic limits
