This week, Gavia and Morgan discuss their summer book club pick, Terry Pratchett’s Night Watch. They reflect on the book’s unusual treatment of policing, break down time travel tropes, and situate Night Watch in the larger context of the Discworld series.

Note: These are, of course, MY favorites. But I made the list for a friend, and decided it might benefit someone else. I have literally literally watched every horror movie on Netflix, and then some hundreds more. So just… trust me a little. I think you’ll like at least half of them, if not more. Enjoy!
Train to Busan: Korean zombie
film that will blow all of your perceptions of how a zombie film should be. Be
ready to CRY.
The Void: This is like watching
the walkthrough of a viscerally terrifying horror videogame.
It Follows: It’s following. Ghost
murder STDs.
The Babysitter: BADASS
babysitter & murder cult friends.
Clown: Man wears a clownsuit
that starts to become his own skin.
V/H/S: Video short horrors.
Highly recommend.
V/H/S 2: One of the few sequels
as good as the first. A demon goat that says “Papa”.
Troll Hunter: Norwegian movie…
about trolls. A true gift to the world.
Creep: That creepy guy who
talks to you at the bus stop, but now he’s gonna murder you.
Holidays: Compilation of
popular holidays with seriously fucked up twists. Easter is scary AF.
Night Watch: Crazy Russian
shenanigans. I know that could describe a lot of things.
Day Watch: The shenanigans
continue. The subtitles are interactive & amazing.
Last Shift: A good old murdered
cult returns on their murder anniversary story.
The Rezort: I thought this
would be a stupid zombie movie and it wasn’t.
JeruZalem: Biblical apocalypse
and a creepy creature feature.
XX: A set of stories, all on
different ranges of the horror spectrum.
The Den: Murder & voyeurism through web-camming.
The Eyes of My Mother: Just…
fuck yourself up, fam.
Honeymoon (2013 version): It
was aliens.
Zombeavers: Do I have to
explain this? Drink some beer with this.
Hush: A deaf woman has a house
intruder she knows nothing about.
Oculus: Jump scares galore, but
a good old cuddle-up-with-someone scary movie.
What We Become: A Danish
middle-class family eat their pet rabbit during the zombie apocalypse.
Contracted: STDs, but not the
ghost kind. Just the murder, flesh-eating kind.
Cube: 1997 movie about people
who wake up in a giant cube that’s actively trying to murder them.
The Babadook: I mean, that kid
is hella obnoxious, but he doesn’t deserve the Babadook–dook–dook.
Stake Land: A vampire hunter
movie that’s actually good. Apocalypse style.
The Host: Japanese giant ocean
monster goes on a murdering spree.
Kirsty: Very underrated, and a
great ending. That’s all I’ll say, because I want you to watch it.
Man VS: It was aliens.
@obviouslystiles Some of these may be gone from Netflix by now but if you haven’t seen some of these, I recommend them as well!
I apologise for my inconsistent art posts, I haven’t had much time to draw stuff lately, but here; have some young!dean in a dusty motel room (bc I wanted an excuse to try more lighting :p )
“For hundreds of years, women in the South Korean island province of Jeju have made their living harvesting seafood by hand from the ocean floor. Known as haenyeo, or sea women, they use no breathing equipment, although a typical dive might last around two minutes and take them as deep as ten metres underwater. Wearing old-fashioned headlight-shaped scuba masks, most dive with lead weights strapped around their waists to help them sink faster. A round flotation device called a tewak, about the size of a basketball, sits at the surface of the water with a net hanging beneath it to collect the harvest. Some use a sharp tool to dig conch, abalone, and other creatures from the crevices on the seafloor. … “For me, the photos of the haenyeo reflect and overlap with the images I have of my mother and grandmother,” Kim says. “They are shown exactly as they are, tired and breathless. But, at the same time, they embody incredible mental and physical stamina, as the work itself is so dangerous; every day they cross the fine line between life and death. I wanted to capture this extreme duality of the women: their utmost strength combined with human fragility.” ”
