What are your top 3-5 scariest movie monsters? Not just how much the movie itself scares you, but what the monsters themselves do to you when they appear on screen? Is there a pattern between them?

My ranking was...

5: Samara Morgan (The Ring)

4: Crooked Man (The Conjuring 2)

3: Diana (Lights Out)

2: Kayako Saeki (The Grudge)

And one I feel is underappreciated...

1: Mama (Guillermo Del Toro)

I guess I'm most scared of the onryo-class monsters, or just distorted humanoid forms with unsettling noises O.O

Seven Days is actually a goal of my own for something, but still, I expect the replies to contain more quotes from this movie >:D

A TFR-Themed Mission: This would take place in my dark fantasy universe, where terrifying beasts roam freely, a plague of mutant monsters are tormenting the world, and tribes stand divided in a constant state of strife.

[REDACTED]: This could double as a little trial-run of my not-very-secret secret project! In a sci-fantasy world, a member of each land (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Horus, Neptune) are thrown together by an underground organization looking to attack and usurp the Emperor.

The prior two would be intense and elaborate, buuuuut by extension, there would be a lot of lore and may just be too much for some people so I'm not sure...My other ideas are pretty much all videogame-related because I thought a little collaborative fanfiction would be AWESOME:

Zelda Roleplay: This would be a Zelda-themed world with some elements of the games I know best (Skyward Sword, Ocarina of Time, Majora's Mask, Twilight Princess, Wind Waker) and would likely break some lore because of it (but it's all for fun anyway!). I thought our team could feature a Hylian, Kokiri, Korok, Goron, Rito, Zora, Twili, and "Loftian" (someone from Skyloft).

Five Nights At Freddy's Roleplay: Picking up on Security Breach lore, our characters awaken as backstage, concept, abandoned, or even scrapped animatronics and find a child trying to investigate what happened at the Pizzaplex, including the disappearance of several children, the main cast, and Gregory and Cassie. This leads us through some interesting ruins...

Corpse Party [Horror] Roleplay: So even if you're not totally familiar with Corpse Party games or anime, I think its concept would make an awesome spooky roleplay! We're just a group of high school kids (plus maybe one teacher or other staff member), and when we perform an occult charm wrong, we are transported to a decrepit old elementary school filled with violent ghosts and a bloody history. Our only chance at survival is to appease the ghosts that wander here (WARNING: this story, in corpse party fashion, would probably be very gory and reference some very dark lore)

Bendy Roleplay: Last but not least, Bendy and The Ink Machine! After escaping the ink dimension, Audrey and her mysterious mascot, Bendy, have strived to make the ink dimension a better place for those trapped inside. But someone working under her has been corrupted --now Audrey is missing, and mysterious things are happening around Joey Drew Studios. Our characters -animators working for Audrey- find cryptic instructions to turn on the ink machine and cross over to the ink dimension, where we traverse as distorted cartoon characters in our own time, looking for answers until we find each other and put the pieces together...

It's not even ten-thirty and a know-it-all 16-year-old has come in and started chatting with me nonstop, and my coworker decided to chip in and fuel the fire until she *VERY patronizingly* asked me why I would EVER move here, since I must be crazy or stupid to leave California...

My response in spirit: "Okay, child that apparently knows more about this subject than I do. Would you like me to talk about my former cost of living, how "the state" handled the maternal half of my family, or the risk of being swallowed by an inferno every summer? Is that a valid enough reason for you to approve of me coming here??"

No shade to Californians, that was from my own experience, but it was the ATTITUDE on this girl! I literally told her, "I mean, part of why we left was that we couldn't afford to live there anymore, it's incredibly expensive." And she just looks at me with this sneering expression and says, "No it's not."

B**** ARE YOU CALLING ME POOR OR A LIAR??!!

Then she goes on to explain some political psychobabble I just wind up tuning out, until...Well, I'm not getting off into the weeds here, but imagine literally the most obvious possible questions while actively just saying "oh that stuff that happened to you doesn't actually happen." And the one issue I will be vocal about, the treatment of foster children, she literally just said "that's not really a problem you know, there are WAY more important things than THAT." Oh, how I smiled and nodded, but how I wanted to curse her out...

Thank god, she left a while ago, but am I crazy?? Do I give off some kind of "dumb" aura I wasn't aware of?? Half of me is laughing at the whole thing, but the other half is still kinda fuming, not gonna lie...

"The remaining Zyrean Demons, seven in number, are the final members of the royal bloodline. All brothers and sisters to eachother."




...I guess magic took more precedence in character design than actual genetics >.>

This is Leiyt and finally, a stroke of luck or something because he's turning out well!!! The hair was the hardest part since there's a lot of layering going on here lol, I'm also figuring out proportions and fit more as I go (shoutout to @SkyVibes for her helpful tips!), and now I'm using that to revamp my characters' designs a bit!

Big art drop coming soon that will bleed into another minor, but fun and helpful project in TFR! I'm so excited to share with you guys!!

(And no it's not political)

I am totally NOT plotting to expand my collection with the birthday money I lost then found >.>
