Hihi where do you usually get your inspiration from while writing?

horror movies and games!!! it's almost always horror movies, other fantasy fics, or folk lore. all tend to come with really rich visuals that are easy to immerse yourself in. i honestly have a much harder time writing fics that aren't based in some level of otherworldly interference, although i am a big fan of romcom type set ups and meetcutes. also sometimes songs/albums will lead to me forming a plot idea, but that's usually falling into some kind of specific americana / country gothic vibe that i hesitate to post because it's so deeply specific to the type of region i live in and i'm not sure how much anyone else would care to hear about it, especially in conjunction idols.
