A Cup of Tea & 40 Whacks

Young Cathy and Heathcliff find a half staved unconscious Jane Eyre on the moors and poked her with a stick to see if she's dead. She isn't roused by their proding and they don't care enough to try and help her so it isn't mentioned in either book.

one thing you gotta appreciate in Carpenter’s The Thing is that it is also a horror from the POV of the monster. At the end of the day it’s a movie about a bunch of assholes isolated in the middle of nowhere doing what they can to survive, and by “doing what they can” I mean freaking out and screaming and throwing up. this also includes the Thing.

Everybody in the Thing, including the Thing: FUCK!!!!! THESE GUYS ARE GONNA KILL ME!!!!!!! FUUUUUCK!!!!!!

i am not the type to go uwuwuwu the monster was good it was just misunderstood . much less in this case in which the Thing is 1) terribly desperate 2) an alien with very little regard for human life and 3) a cheeky little shit. but I don’t exaggerate when I say the Thing is even more scared than the base guys. like they have flamethrowers.

At this point it's more disappointing than shocking that not a single assassin in the states can aim a fucking gun
