By making the focus about a scary monster, you can slip just a little of the true horror underneath without inducing the unpleasant discomfort of making your story JUST about that thing.

3) Have at least a few of the horror elements be some wild-ass shit. There are things that people have actually experienced, and then there are things that no one has, or ever will experience. This is very common, i.e. Alien, the Thing, Nightmare on Elm Street, It.

It feels less likely that men could be victimized and rendered vulnerable, so the mind can find that less alarming than if it were happening to someone who was. Bonus points here because men absolutely are victims of violence and that’s a really big problem.

2) Have it happen to a white, cis man. Men are immune to most societal dangers that women and effeminate men face. (This isn’t actually true, of course, but their privilege does somewhat insulate them from these dangers.) The Scum Villain danmei and others are examples of this.

1) Make it a fantasy setting. If it’s not happening in a recognizable world, then that border between ‘thrill’ and ‘legit traumatic danger’ becomes a much wider boundary. The Orville had a fantastic example of this when Topa was kidnapped in season 2.

So the trick is to create distance to soften and widen that space into a comfy little spot where you can spend some quality time. How does one create distance to reach giggly good times instead of unhappy trauma? There are many ways but here are some of my personal favourites.

And for most people? It can be kinda fun when your brain rejects a thing. You get all adrenalized and alert and giggly, especially when you’re juuuuust teasing that a harmful thing might happen without going all the way into unhappy, traumatic panic mode.

The mind naturally rejects content that it has been conditioned to find harmful, and it does so more strongly when that perceived harm is greater.

Saw a post about writing horror fic that reminded me that I actually write a lot of horror and have thoughts. Good horror isn’t going to be the most intense, or even the most immersive writing because by its nature, horror is challenging.

Fish I’m trying to get back into sketching to just have a place to practice, so I decorated the cover of the one I’ve been using- I am DETERMINED to fill this thing, even if it’s all with crappy wobbly lines that look horrible

Life’s been hard, time for abstract doodles.
Abstract graphite doodles with repeated henna-inspired elements, decorative grid work, and contour doodles.

Went way back to do planar heads and boring contour blob studies :P I think my main issue is drawing with symbols instead of 3D shapes so I’m trying to break out of that as a start

You can’t make a building that’s worse than where I work. There’s 2/3 fewer bathrooms for women than for men and until recently those were used to store janatorial supplies 🫠

If they have the means for that less-efficient anerobic respiration? And of course they are nowhere near human sized (thank god.) But they certainly exhibit bursts of rapid activity in observed behaviour.

They can still book it when pressed though. I will never forget how fast a 13” long centipede whipped around after being grabbed by a pair of tongs with the most unnatural dry squeak I’ve ever heard in my life. Tarantulas also can dart if needed to capture prey or escape predation. I’m not sure…

Everyone vanishes for weeks and reappears with a fistful of embroidered disks, right?
Nine fabric disks, each embroidered with grid-patterned running stitches. Most are on galaxy-print cotton.Fabric disk embroidered with modified Scotch darning stitches. Sadly, this one got badly stained when I washed it with the others and the blacks bled onto the white and light blue. Lesson learned to separate lights and darks.
