schmericaThree Buttons For a Fictional Text to Push If Their Goals Is To Freak Pearl-o The Fuck Out
1) Eyes. Oh, god, the eyes. This one is probably the most common, because apparently? The shows I watch are very fond of STICKING NEEDLES INTO PEOPLE'S PUPILS WHAT THE HELL. House, Farscape, and now Supernatural are only the latest instances of me being stuck with images in my head I really never wanted to think about. Dear people of the world, please keep all needles, poky tentacles, knives, red hot pokers, and other such instruments away from the eye sockets of your characters, for my mental health. P.S., the Clockwork Orange thing is not cool either.
2) Sane people trapped in 19th century mental asylums. THIS OCCURS FAR MORE OFTEN THAN YOU MIGHT EXPECT. Although that might partly be a result of my choice of reading material, admittedly.
3) People all alone in the vastness of space. Farscape has renewed this one for me with its frequent device of people floating alone in the hugeness of space with no spaceships anywhere near. This one can still apply even if people are safely in space ships or shuttles or something, though, as long as they are completely alone. When I was little, I could not understand why anyone would want to be an astronaut ever omg. I still don't, really. SPACE IS CREEPY. (I think I read a Christopher Pike or some other trashy novel when I was young that had this captain of a spaceship that was at very-very-close-to-speed-of-light, and she was all alone for like BILLIONS of years in the spaceship while the universe died and renewed itself around her. SO CREEPY.)
People living forever and being alone forever in that way is also creepy, but less so, because it doesn't involve SPACE. *shudder*
In other news, today is Saturday, which means Homework and Cleaning Day! Oh, the fun of it all.
*sigh*
You know what makes everything better? Thinking about Dan/Duck.
...If any of you now go and write a story where Duck or Dan gets their eyes gouged out I WILL NOT BE AMUSED. I'm just saying.
