Have been asked a fun question recently & since I thought so & I'm curious I'll forward it to everyone else! (If you're in there anon, thank you~)

If y'all were a horror cliche/trope, which would you be?

Ty for the question rune!! You know the basic fear responses like fight/flight/etc? Well I’m freeze—like a deer caught in headlights.. I’m the type of person to close my eyes, cover my ears and pretend whatever’s happening isn’t happening lmao,, I’d probably die first.. but maybe at the end of the story my ghost comes back to help the final survivor(s) in an epic show of bravery :^)

Alternatively, I could be the one side character who knows incredibly niche but surprisingly useful info to help with survival.. I have so many little facts memorized,, I can tell you that a group of crows is called a “murder” or that Dr Seuss invented the word “nerd” or that the reefback leviathan sounds in subnautica are just slowed down audio of people yelling.. I can’t tell you how to do taxes though.. or how to do long division.. or how to change a tire.. my brain only likes impractical info :’)
