I got broken up with last week, and in my reflections since, I’ve realized that the OCD from my youth never left me; it just got quieter. Here is my essay on listening to my body. “My body told me the answer, but I chose to ignore it. The signs came in endless fatigue and a visit with a familiar friend – my self-diagnosed OCD. I have two friends with OCD, and when they describe their present symptoms, it doesn’t feel like the experience resonates with me. But in this last spiral, I was quickly reminded that just because your situation looks different, it doesn’t mean that your compulsions don’t exist. Perhaps I was just ignoring them, hoping that they would fade soon, and convinced that my constant need for reassurance was more a personality trait than a compulsion.” by @nay_lilly

I love horror films, but the men continue to frustrate me. Research showed me that a “perfect” slasher film often relies on the themes associated with hegemonic masculinity. I decided to make a video essay on it :)-More at the Substack link in my bio <3 by @nay_lilly

Horror excites me, but it’s certainly not because of the men. In Obsession, Leviticus, and Evil Dead Burn, one sees the themes associated with hegemonic masculinity. I was curious about the connection, and the following essay was produced. As always, link in bio <3“For the men in Obsession, Leviticus, and Evil Dead Burn, there is a desire for dominance and the ability to stay in control of a situation, even as that situation becomes wildly worse by the second. The current setup of horror films continues to rest in male-dominated stories that give space for the patriarchy to “live to fight another day.” Clover’s formula, in tandem with my own simplified version, relies on males competing to prove whose d*ck is the largest and whose ability to inflict emotional and physical pain is strongest. If you’re wondering why the men continue to suck in today’s horror films, the answer lies in the foundations that mix gender studies and the analysis of horror movies. Every theme can be tied to a theory, and in this case, hegemonic masculinity continues to rule the day.” by @nay_lilly
