@SaladaFlores69 @FlipeArt2 I came here to say this also lol

It’s been a crazy week, and today, I’ve decided I’m doing a whole lot of nothin’. Other than watching some classic 80s horror, of course.

*heavy breathing* NEW WIDOW’S BAY TONIGHT.

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

@mattbramanti Let me just tell you how child me used to be feral and eat this straight out of the can. As an adult, I would still do the same thing. And the thing is—I know it’s disgusting. It’s objectively not good. And yet I still occasionally crave the horrid taste. 😂

My marriage consists of me watching Edward Scissorhands for the 1000th time and yapping nonstop to my husband about how it is a masterpiece, and debating whether Edward would be considered an automaton or not. You know. Normal household conversation.

And for my next trick, I will be throwing a tantrum until next Wednesday.

Guys, who was gonna tell me there was only 5 episodes of Widow’s Bay?? I burned through them in a single night and want more!!!

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

@nealenrick Ooooh, very good. I’m excited now 🤩

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

I fear I have really been lacking in nautical folklore and horror and need more of it in my life. Anyone watch Widow’s Bay or have any similar recommendations?

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

@TeamBinge You certainly don’t have to tell me twice. I love podcasts.

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

@BBuchananWomble Alright, you’ve justified my interest in it. In gonna have to give it a watch!

@AlexandSorensen Godspeed, soldier. 🫡

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

This is how I feel knowing that there is a chapter in THE LUSTER OF LIFE that is going to emotionally destroy you when you read it. 👼

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

I have something that has been unsettling me for months. Tell me why that on a Norwegian cruise at the end of 2025, they had EMOJI MOVIE TRIVIA NIGHT as an activity?? You know. The worst film in animation history that released in 2017. What even.

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

@PM_FOUR4 I’ll be honest, chat. I thought it was incredible. And what’s more? It’s Goose’s story. I’m glad she ended it how she wanted to.

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

@ArienSkyeWrites A fair warning I probably really need, thank you.

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

@PintSizedChippy @juno_buggs I also thought they looked extremely real. The high quality of everything was insane if they were fakes, that’s for sure.

[M.L.Baskerville 🐺 Debut Release 10.2026🎃 @MLBaskerville]

I can say with certainty I just came across the real #TADC leaks while getting stuck watching short form content/reels. If you don’t want to see them, I highly recommend you stay out of the reels!

Forever advocating for these guys. Very good people.

@somemintbunny @Noah_Not_Pig I kind of have to agree with you there. Like it wasn’t a bad pilot by any means, but the vibes feel off somehow. It’s hard to explain.
