what's a horror trope you want to see more often?
I am easy and want to see more gender role-reversed scenarios with guys getting terrorized by women. Not the yandere/"women scorned"-type scenarios or anything with an undercurrent of irony--I want to see a full-on reversal, male Laurie Stodes being stalked by female Michael Meyers, female Freddy Kreugers invading the nightmares of male Nancy Thompsons, and so on.

what’s a scene or concept that really freaked you out in a non-horror canon?
Discounting things that freaked me out as a kid--Captain Holly's recollection of the warren's destruction in the 1978 Watership Down movie is one of the most vividly horrifying things I've ever seen. I didn't see the movie until I was in college, the most I knew about it beforehand were the screenshots of bloodied up rabbits, and that scene totally took me off-guard.
As far as concepts go--any kind of "fate worse than death"/I Have No Mouth And I Must Scream-type scenario tends to burrow its way into my brain and stay there. For non-horror examples, I'm thinking of things like the ending of Being John Malkovich, the fates of Cars and Diavolo in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure--no matter how despicable the character it happens to is I'm always kind of shaken up by it!

What’s your favorite autumn activity? Do you have any Halloween traditions?
I love going for walks to look at the changing leaf colors and eating warm, autumn-associated foods like baked apples.
Don't really have any set in stone Halloween traditions (aside from picking up candy at the store for possible trick-or-treaters--but mostly for myself) though I always dig through a lot of horror and Halloween-related specials throughout the month. The last three years I've gone to a haunted attraction with a friend and I'd like to maintain that! Since getting a dog, I imagine I'm also going to be subjecting him to a different costume every year.

What’s something fun that’s happened to you in the past two months?
I went to a friend's birthday party at a retro game shop where we watched Chibi Maruko-chan, played fighting games, and danced until 3am. I learned I actually like dancing a lot, even when most of it is just me incorporating various exercise routines

CC here!! Are there any Summer 2024 anime that you're interested in checking out?
Hey CC!! Nothing this season has really caught my attention, though it does remind me I still have to finish the first season of Nier Automata now that the second one's going to air.

what are your favorite types of questions to receive :3
Ahhh -anything- that can spring me into analysis mode!! "How did you interpret (x) scene", "why do you think (x) character did (x)"--don't know if those help for examples! I'm always itching to write mini-essays on things I've gotten into.

You've chosen the box of living wood. As you open it up, the others fade out of sight. Inside is a small slip of paper and a pouch of finely scented tea. When you open the paper it only has the pressed image of a leaf, but you feel that this is a sign to do something you've been putting off or forgetting, even something small like putting away a dish.
[In case you wondered or just want to do them: the gold box is a sign to say three things you like about yourself out loud, and the obsidian is a sign to go outside or look out the window and draw one thing you see. (All voluntary)]
(I don't know why I didn't see a notif for this in my inbox sooner!) This reminded me I should work on my felting project. Thank you for the reminder!

In front of you are three boxes. One of them is solid gold but undecorated, like a gold bar in the shape of a chest. The second box is made of living wood, with leaves sprouting from the sides, roots holding it into the ground. The third is made of obsidian, and you can see your face reflected in it when you lean in to admire its rich dark material. You can only open one. Which one do you open
I choose the second box

do you prefer large or small dogs?
Small dogs have a slight advantage because you can pick them up but never underestimate the dopamine release of a big dog draped over your lap like a weighted blanket

Are you playing any video games right now? Do you have any upcoming video games that you're looking forward to playing?
I was playing Mega Man Legends and got up to somewhere after the Behemoth Bot boss fight before getting derailed by work and trip plans. Consequently, I haven't hopped back in yet. I've enjoyed what I've played of it, but it hasn't hooked me to where I'm eager to pick up where I left off. That said, I do want to finish it if only because I know I'll only set it aside indefinitely and it'll be another notch in my ever-growing backlog of games.
Can't think of any upcoming games I'm looking forward to playing--I -can- think of games released this year that I'd like to play (Another Code remake, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown, Crow Country, Princess Peach: Showtime), and that's more than enough to clear through without my current backlog.

What is the next manga you're thinking about starting?
I've had GTO: Shonan Junai Gumi sitting on my shelf for a while, so probably that!
