Queer Horror Stories To Celebrate Mary Shelley’s Birthday!

Random Shigaraki Headcanon Alert!

Tomura Shigaraki doesn't just use newspapers to check for hero news. I think he also does the daily crossword puzzles religiously.

He's pretty good at them in general, but of course there are occasional times he gets stuck and reads the clues out loud. Kurogiri will offer his own insights and guesses, or even just be a soundboard to bounce ideas off of.

Shigaraki: The edge of a path...

Kurogiri: A sidewalk, perhaps?

Shigaraki: No, it doesn't work with 15 down...

It's a bit of an unconscious bonding session for them, but even then it's mostly a solitary activity for Shigaraki.

As more people join the League, frequent the bar at all hours of the day - including Shigaraki's crossword hour - the more of a group activity it becomes.

Toga and Twice lean over his shoulders and throw their best (ridiculous) guesses or heckles his way. Although, Toga as a teenager is able to point out some of the more ultra-modern pop culture references that go a bit over even Shigaraki's head. Twice knows a lot about sports teams and old syndicated tv shows.

Compress also usually takes a peak, he's actually pretty helpful though, especially with the theater and classical literature clues. Although he's a bit show-boaty about it.

Spinner, sitting at the bar right next to Shigaraki, is also pretty good, but very self-conscious about his guesses. Usually just mutters his answers under his breath and gets really embarrassed when they're correct and the rest of the League praises him for it.

Dabi of course gripes about it all being a waste of time...

...all while piping in to solve that one 13 letter word that's had them all stumped for the last twenty minutes.

Shigaraki insists at first that they're all being way too loud, they're all too obnoxious, he misses when he was able to do these puzzles alone in peace.

But slowly, as the days pass, he stops complaining. Stops working on them at whatever open hour he desires, and starts waiting until the bar is full to turn to the games page.

That is so heart-wrenching. I love it.

You should give it a read, it hurts really good :'0

Hellraiser 1: we'll kill you if you screw us out of this deal, kirsty

Hellraiser 2: NO DEALS, KIRSTY. DON'T EVEN THINK ABOUT IT

Hellraiser 6: I'm gonna drag you into hell with me kirsty and NOTHING WILL STOP M-- oh a deal? Of course babe whatcha got

Fascinated by the decision to give the blind man a white cane in the 19th century. Just in case the reflective glasses and the way he clearly couldn’t see anything on screen in front of him wasn’t enough.

Big fan of the foggy/grainy exposure on the nighttime outside scenes.

Also very impressed by Mrs Hyde’s impromptu dress making skills from a curtain.

Not to mention, Jekyll’s intense joy at transforming himself into Mrs Hyde and delighting in her femininity and being horrified by the re-growth of his masculine body hair.

“I was caught in a terrible trap. To continue my work I needed Sister Hyde yet all the time I became more and more aware of her growing dominance within me, a dominance I no longer had the strength to fight, contain or control.”

gross old people

Cowbell ghoul!?! I was literally joking this morning about brining them back! Success.

Monstrance clock, my beloved!

I’m so excited for the new album!!! And I can’t wait to see more videos and photos on the instagram. I can’t wait to see Perry smile more!🖤🖤🖤

Freaking out about the Skeletour show in Glasgow

Peacefield is a Banger

The new stage is phenomenal, it just keeps getting BIGGER. first the curtain with giant rips in then the new stage with stone plinths for the ghouls and lights everywhere including under the drum riser. Then the stony walls fell down to reveal the usual stained glass windows and then the stone archways fell down and nearly took out Mountain. Then it was revealed that it was actually a massive LED screen

I got so excited that they were playing Majesty that I didn't immediately notice he was FUCKING FLYING. My sister was like omg flying and I was like omg Majesty and then we were both like OMG HIS MAJESTY

I started noticing the double kick drum during Ritual and after. I don't know enough about drums to say what was different it just was more idk

We were in the gods so we couldn't fully appreciate the GIANT MOVING truss grucifix of moving lights but she's a work of art. We could see the labels in the trucks as we left and they had a whole truck just for floor lights (the under drum riser lights are gorgeous) and they had at least 3 more for lights. No idea how to pack a giant moving rus

Lost my shit when they started playing Umbra I've been waiting fucking months to hear more than the opening bars!! I cannot wait to hear it again properly (it's only 9 days not that I'm counting)

Fucking cowbell ghoul is back for Umbra did not see that coming

Monstrance Clock is back too I didn't see that coming either and I'm so happy!!!! And the little smirk he did when he got to say "conclusively, I give you Monstrance Clock" for the second time in years, knowing we were about to lose our collective shit, was yet another wonder of no mask papa

We got sad about it ending and he was "you can go out and tell everyone about the amazing time that you had. Or at least you can tell everyone about the amazing time that I had"

He got his I/we/they/him mixed up which is always funny like "back at the assembly where we, no they, well I suppose I'm part of it now so we, and I thought, no they thought-"

He name dropped The Cathouse but didn't know if it was still running and then was like "I know a lot about the past, but I don't know much about the future" and then straight into The Future is a Foreign Land. Musical theatre levels of speech into song and he said "this is a song my dad used to sing to me" and they changed it to 2034 (I had wondered if they were going to change it to 2025 and have a new rhyme but that works)

There was a delay letting people in and my theatre brain wants to know what technical issue stopped them opening the house?? Was he stuck in the air?? Was the moving grucifix of moving lights refusing to move?? Did the LED screen decide not today satan ??
