You know every show that the premise is like “people find out ghosts/monsters/demons are real and are charged with stopping them” appeal to me way more now as a post-graduate not because I believe in ghosts more or whatever but because can you IMAGINE just being handed a job that you don’t even need to apply for? Like just being told “basically there’s this bad thing and all you do is make sure it doesn’t do what it wants” that’s just customer service baby and I worked that for 6 goddamn years! Just TRY getting past “I have a job to offer you” before I can jump down your throat agreeing.
some idiot with a dumb ghost-hunting name who joined the Cause because they love the paranormal: oh fuck oh shit this is really scary guys I’m having second thoughts
me, who knows that if we run away I have to apply to like, a real actual Jobbe again: wakey wakey demons it’s this or retail so guess who’s got nothing to lose
Good trope. Need more of it. Though. There’s also the “they aren’t paying us enough for this shit” characters. But that’s more people that are working a regular job and then suddenly being tasked to deal with something super crazy. Though. At the same time. The threat of the crew on the Nostromo losing their shares if they didn’t go onto the creepy planet was enough to force them to go onto the creepy planet.
Y'all need to hit up the SCP Foundation site. It’s got basically everything you could dream of there with a side helping of spooky :)
so over the past few months, a group of artists on instagram including myself have been working on something super special for the jatp fandom! here’s a link to the guide where you can keep up with each part every week.
this week you’ll see more parts start to pop up, so make sure to spread the word and be ready for the big surprise! so happy to be a part of this project and share it with everyone. hope you enjoy! ☺️✨
Gonna do my Encanto hcs because I can and feel like it.
Disclaimer: I am white, and I’m trying my very best not to take away from the culture of the movie with these. I don’t have these hcs because I want representation, I just think I see these traits in these characters and this is all for fun blah blah blah you know the drill.
Isabela:
- I’m thinking lesbian. I feel like most people have explained this one to death but the rundown is basically she just Gives Those Vibes + comphet
- autistic!!! What Else Can I Do tells the story of a girl learning to unmask so clearly. Also Isabela’s whole perfect persona gives big masking vibes. Idk I just think it’s neat.
- gifted kid burnout /hj
Dolores:
- autistic once again!! Her sensory overload is a MOOD and there’s a lot of fun stuff to play with there. Told a guy “you talk so loud” as a compliment.
Mirabel:
- adhd and autism. She very much has a “thinking out loud” personality. Special interest in sewing!! Always moving, sensory seeking.
- I don’t have a specific sexuality hc for her but I feel like she’s mspec.
Pepa:
- autistic! She strokes her braid to calm down/as a stim, emotional dystrguation, and also I just think Pepa and Dolores both being autistic is neat. Also people not understanding how to handle her emotions.
- as a friend pointed out, there’s a lot of overlap between ASD and BPD, and I think Pepa slides right into that sweet spot.
Camilo:
- gay, but specifically the brand of gay that only a theatre boy can be.
- questioning his gender hardcore, but not quite there yet. Not totally cis tho.
- Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria. No further comment.
Fascinated by how hard it is to find people who genuinely love all three women in the Fapezberry trio but like, say what you will about them as individuals or as a group, there’s undeniably such a powerful story in an underdog becoming friends, real friends with her former bullies who genuinely care about her and show it in smaller and bigger ways and move past high school dynamics while acknowledging how the ghosts of that can haunt relationships into adulthood but ultimately human connection is work and if you’re willing to put that work in beautiful things will grow from it
