The Elephant Man (1980)

I gave it a chance last night, and it has easily become one of my favourites. It is visceral and bittersweet. Just brilliant. Highly recommended.

Melancholy

Desperately, in the worst of ways, I DO NOT want to go home! To the point of tears! It’s been so wonderful here alone. Call out sick? NO, call out well! The cabin, the lake, the trails all so hauntingly welcoming. During the drive south home it will all melt away slowly like some subconscious… read more

Another poem by me written a few years back... I hope this helps someone.

This beatings,rather hard, that I feel inside my chest Feeling all these thoughts, as I struggle for one more breath. The shards inside my heart, grabbing for anything that was left. I feel it break apart, welcoming my final rest. I think about my father, as I'm walking through regret. Shamed… read more

Need New Music

I have been mildly (read: very) obsessed with Ethel Cain’s song 'Nettles'. It’s giving me major southern gothic, humid night, and beautiful decay vibes. 🥀 I need more music that feels like a ghost haunting a basement—dark, visceral, hauntingly beautiful, and emotionally heavy. What’s your favorite… read more

This is extremely controversial, so i'll make this quick. Why do people treat their physical preferences like omens?

Why not embrace it? I get that it's designed to prevent their soulmate from being traumatized and frightened by it. It's also connected to having some type of unholy aversion to being perceived "shallow" I saw some random guys who often complained that people who reject them should at least be… read more

"Which would you choose?" 10/09

<Thrummmmmm> *Expand, Contract* (Shhhhhhh) *Expand, Contract* (Shhhhhhh) While the beat drones on, I know the song: -Espresso, the cover by Nerissa Ravencroft- I knew every word, before I had ever heard It recited in public spaces. And it doesn't seem To follow the beat of my heart Like it does… read more

The Death Of Robin Hood (2026)

Robin was remarkably transformative for a weathered Hugh Jackman. His portrayal had to balance visceral savagery with with gentle kindness and the turmoil in between, which he captured expertly. The subtle relational connections, beautiful soundtrack, impeccable script, and it was all wrapped in a… (edited) read more

Characters I like Pt 5. Goblin Slayer (from Goblin Slayer)

Maybe the show isn't for you, (or maybe it is) but it is quite a dark and gritty show, with a lot of hard truths and really bad things happening to well intentioned people. He's not the toughest. He's not the nicest. He's not the strongest, or the best looking, or the best at saving people. He… read more

Be Honest.

What daily activity creates visceral fear and anxiety for you? And I dont mean just a sense of "I dont want to do it" I mean in the literal sense.

What was the last movie you saw at the theater?

Just saw this. Great performances, intense and visceral. Plus Conan 🦰

La Idea de lo Fugaz

El otro dia me fui de fiesta. Salí a tomar con amigos y amigas y no pude evitar sentir ese golpe de la nada super random que te da y piensas "estoy vivo." ¿A alguien mas le ha pasado? Es parecido a ese sentimiento de "fui creado para mas que esto," o "¿qué estoy haciendo?" La idea de lo fugaz, en… read more

growth is visceral.

everyone talks about big wins. the loud ones. the shiny ones. the ones that look good in captions. but what about the quiet firsts? the first steady step of an infant that makes a parent whisper, “they’re growing too fast.” the first school day without tears — that same kid, years later, sitting… read more

Games for Feels

What video game has made you feel the most visceral emotional while playing it? 🤔 Are they more emotional for you because they are interactive?

I always have a visceral reaction everytime I remember that Wes Anderson voices the Giraffe in Sing 1&2

Dark Romance - Favorite Tropes?

I am a writer who has written a lot of short stories or novella about NDSM romance or Edotica. I have now since starting to tackle Dark Romance to delve into more visceral things. As I do I am curious what are some of your favorite tropes or things to see in those stoeies?

Caught between believing your words Or these stories I read in the gaps between them Unable to decipher with reason Linger in liminal conditioning cynical Space always hurts Such needy bleeding Intuition or oversensitive nerves Prepare for the worst Each burst of your language leaks… read more

Emotional Cartography

My dad was always present in my life growing up, but ironically the one person I knew the least about. He never spoke of his relatives, his childhood. Very much a closed book. After his death I took some time to undertake research into my family tree and one thing I found particularly intruiging… (edited) read more

Hurts so good

What song digs down to your very core and punches you in the gut? The song that you connect with on an emotional level. What makes that song so visceral for you? Is it the lyrics? The beat? A connection to a specific memory, time in your life, or person? (edited)

☀️ ☀️ ☀️

my annual and visceral want to cut off all my hair as soon as the summer heat hits! 🥲

RIP 🙏

My uncle passed away very recently. He was in bad shape for a while, but I’m still shocked at the visceral emotional response I’m having. Mostly, I feel for my stepdad, who looked up to his brother and loved him dearly. 😢

Fear (rambly thinky thoughts)

I saw a post asking "what's your biggest fear"... and rather than brain dump in a poor unsuspecting soul's thread, figured I'd dump it here for anyone else who might happen to be interested in the pondering. So, this question always gets me really thinking.. and especially now because the answers… read more

The Strangely Intoxicating and Terrifying Entanglement of Infatuation...

LOVE. For me is purer than the true nature of light... All enveloping and expansive. I can fall in love easily in and with most everything, With the way roses unfold, the sound of ravens cawing, the eyes of my children... I'm naturally in love with life in it's whole, for all it's darkness and… (edited) read more

Visceral fear

For a split second, out of the corner of my eye, I was convinced the Windows loading symbol was a maggot doing cartwheels on my computer screen and freaked the geek out. It was hilarious and humbling.

Anxiety

It's a love song to the self A story recapped every day It's a world of bogus feelings And a world of slow decay It's a world of laughter hidden by this world of fear and torment A game of strange compulsion, our visceral convulsion Anxiety for love of life Anxiety for pain Anxiety, a feeling that… read more

There Are No Right Answers

There are no right answers. The sky rejects the birds, turns them over to gravity, embedding them in the concrete and dirt. The grit refuses to become a pearl, just as the wound refuses to heal and the flesh eats itself. The market sees a sudden spike in sales of Champagne and cyanide. Coordinated… read more

Visceral Mass - Human Stew (2020) [🇺🇲]

The boy and the heron

What an enchanting movie. Who else has seen it so far? Some of the scenes can be so visceral and disturbing. The fish scene. The scene with the parakeets toppling over each other. Such odd claustrophobic shots. Loved this animation.

I love you.

"If your parents’ faces never lit up when they looked at you, it’s hard to know what it feels like to be loved and cherished. If you come from an incomprehensible world filled with secrecy and fear, it’s almost impossible to find the words to express what you have endured. If you grew up unwanted… read more

Anyone who games/uses vr

Was chatting with someone for like a week and we seemed to have good chemistry chatting even played some phasmo earlier today. They get on VR chat (because we both play it) and have a huge visceral reaction to my using a female avatar I guess my question is do you care if your partner uses… read more

Basic human fear

In the past few weeks, a heavy shadow of fear has enveloped my thoughts, relentless and pervasive. Each evening, I find myself wrestling with the unsettling uncertainty of whether I will have a secure and tranquil spot to lay my head for the night—somewhere safe from the chaos of the streets. The… read more

Anyone else in a visceral nostalgia phase lately?

Visceral art

What piece of art (anything in life can be and is art, so there should be plenty to pick from) has made you have the most visceral experience? Where emotion gripped your heart, or where the meaning spoke to your soul.

Falling in love with darkwave anew

There’s something timeless about darkwave—brooding melodies, hypnotic beats, and the way it wraps you in a cocoon of raw emotion. Revisiting this genre feels like slipping into a familiar yet electrifying embrace. The blend of synths and haunting vocals taps into something deeply visceral,… read more
