Rules: drop some lore and candy

One time a doctor tried to convince my mom that I was taking drugs or alcohol at school because of how moody I was. I was an 11 yr old anxious homebody who hated school….

I brought some Pelón Pelo Rico

A few years ago I had a nightmare where I was in front of a massive (I mean very massive) tree with a bottomless pit. It was some kind of exhibit so people were around. The nightmare began as I heard a voice echoing around me, "wake up. Wake up. Wake up!" I felt my hand, numb, trying to wake myself up. I was emerging from my sleep with my hand lazily slapping me awake. I was doing it in real life too, not just my dream. Here is my drawing of the nightmare.

My results:

suburban gothic horror

—decay hidden by idealism— do you perhaps have an interesting relationship with the repetitiveness of life or the idea of conformity? suburban gothic horror focuses on picturesque images (that classic white picket fence look) while hiding the dysfunction underneath. some features are using effects like liminal space to change classic, suburban areas into nightmares, like desolate cul-de-sacs, uncanny identical homes, or dimly lit streets. it can also focus on the psychological aspect of feeling like you’re repeating the same day over and over until you die or the effects of groupthink. | movies (they don’t entirely match, but i tried): disturbia, it follows, blue velvet, i saw the tv glow (HIGHLY recommend) | songs: “anthems for a seventeen year-old girl” by yeule and “simulation swarm” by big thief
