At least the flame proof babies will be kinda handy when they become adults /s

This source seems kinda right wing cause it calls her an Islamo-leftist, also related articles paint the Congress as a party that's settling illegal intruders in India and specifically Rahul Gandhi which seems also pretty targeted.

But it does tell you what she said.

Is it really that big of a fall?

Yeah which is why I think "Shape of water" is a better Lovecraftian style of work than HP could ever achieve. He was a troubled scared man, who created an entire genre of horror. Hope we may never be as consumed by our fears as he was.

Ooh that's a cool perspective! He was a scared scared man.

Yeah he was a homophobe and a racist for sure. But how much more than anyone else from his time. I love the themes he brings in but I think other people have done a good job of showing his ideas without the fear he had in him, Shape of water comes to mind and I think del Toro does a great job in showing those themes of the unknown and all.

There's a video on his (HP) work by HBomberguy which I think is really good.

I didnt know about the reason for his generational curse.. That's pretty cool!

The man was a neurotic anxious mess who was scared of everything around him in his time and checked into the psych ward multiple times. I guess it shows in his writings

I mean if you had this happen to you are you never allowed to talk about it or express it or joke about it ever?

You know there's a video that shows what happened after that frame. Didja know that son?
