Happy Halloween Season!!

Since my trip to the Philippines, this year has been a large adventure.

Went to Vegas & had a good time (it was for my friend’s birthday & bachelorette party).

My birthday in Sept. was a whole experience as well, there’s nothing more grand than hanging out with the homies… 

Had my first ever cosplay photoshoot shortly before my trip.

Traveled to Georgia again, I’ve done a lot this week and saw many important people to say the least. **cough cough @m1roart

Life and self reflection has been settling back in since coming back home,

I’ve been working on completing my ToonTober 2024 challenge, I’ve never finished an October Art Challenge before and I’m determined.

For a few months, I’ve been helping @EugeneDoesArt with his comic and not to mention I’ve been back for chapter 2 :)

Speaking of reflection,

I have also come here to recommend a film to you all that you NEED to see in theatres as soon as possible—

If you want to see a Rated R, wonderful, graphic, body horror film, I 100% recommend “The Substance” (2024) by Coralie Fargeat!!

There’s just so many words I have for this film,

It’s one of the best horror flicks featuring body horror I’ve ever seen in recent years.

I saw this film in theatres twice, 

One where it was my day out and I was by myself, holy shit, I was squirming in my seat.

After an art gallery visit, I brought a friend to see the movie with me, and we had an amazing time.

ABOUT THE FILM

“The Substance” (2024) is about a woman who gets fired for turning 50 because she’s “too old” for stardom, so she takes drastic measures to make herself into a better version of herself.

The premise may be underwhelming, whatever, and predictable— but I promise you it’s completely worth the watch. The film just makes you think when you think it cannot get any worse, it just does. It keeps going. It’ll make you laugh, disgusted, and horrified.

It’s like watching a slow burn until what you think is the car crash, is actually a train wreck. I’m saying as much less details as I can because this film is better to watch with knowing less about it.

But as many movie goers might prefer, if you’re not in it for any kind of messaging, I’m being genuinely serious when I say if you want pure spectacle for watching practical effects, & fantastic acting, fantastical shot composition, this is it.

This film has made a permanent place into my deep psyche because of my own struggles growing up as a woman, how I saw my own insecurity represented in the characters, the people I know who I’m reminded of, and the tired resentment. Oddly enough, I felt really seen in this film.

Overall, If you want a horror film that would help you encourage yourself to love the body you are given and balance yourself, this would be it.

Bring a friend! Break a leg! They’re Going To Love You!
