Preferred Genres: Science Fiction, Fantasy, Horror, Epic Poetry
DNW Genres: None
Preferred Media Types: Any
DNW Media Types: None
General Likes: an emphasis on families of the f'ed up variety (ex: the skywalker family, the main family in Supergiant's Hades) -- particularly when the situation isn't black and white (ie one character is not exclusively evil/another is exclusively good), characters who are NOT human but interact with humans (ex: Dr. in Dr. Who, any god with mortals) and may behave in ways that are beyond mortal comprehension, haunted houses, explorations of afterlife/multiple lifetimes, star-crossed lovers, female monsters/explorations of feminity in monsters, resurrection but changed/came back wrong resurrections, new explorations of fiction classics in modern times (ex: The Scarlet Letter->Easy A, the myth of Orpheus/Eurydice->Hadestown, etc.), anything and everything mythology, space politics, cooking shows/web shows
General DNWs: torture porn horror (ex: SAW franchise), Scat/Urine/Vomitplay, anything focusing exclusively on sexual violence on a child or excessive violence toward a child (a slap or children playfighitng or the like is fine; breaking bones or worse, I'd prefer a warning)
Fandom Preferences: I'd love a fandom that has a fair amount of love for female characters (femslash or not), but honestly I'm just looking to to expand my taste and find new canons in general.
Requests for Content Warnings: anything involving sexual assault on people under 18, super gory violence, heavy focus on animal cruelty/torture
Examples of Media Enjoyed: Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Repo! The Genetic Opera, Hadestown, Hades, Mass Effect, Dragon Age, Space Channel 5, Yakuza, Tekken, Persona/Shin Megami Tensei games, Shadow Hearts, Final Fantasy, Star Wars: Original/Prequel trilogy, Star Trek (all of them but DS9 is my favorite), Greek mythology, Roman mythology, etruscan mythology, any mythology tbh, Ninth House by Leigh Bardugo, Sorcerer to the Crown series, Hexate series, Sabrina: the Teenage Witch (both series), Stranger Things, Discworld (especially the Death! and Guards! series), Evil, The Haunting of Hill House/Bly Manor, Rome, Game of Thrones, Nier:Automata, Star Ocean 2, Valkyrie Profile series, Suikoden series, Dishonored series, Crazyhead, Dead Like Me, Pushing Daisies, Parks and Rec, the Good Place, any and every cooking show on the internet I can find (PBS, Salt/Fat/Acid/Heat, Good Eats, Bon Appetit, Historical Kitchen)
Examples of Media to Avoid: SAW/Texas Chainsaw Massacre stuff - I like my horror more spooky than gory, anything really long (I just don't have the time to watch 700+ episodes of a series anymore)
Streaming Services I Can Access: Hulu, Amazon, Disney, CBS, Netflix, HBO, Showtime, Spotify, Youtube (but not Youtube Red)
Languages I'm Comfortable With: I can watch/read English, Spanish, Italian but I'll watch anything with subtitles in one of those languages

Date: 2020-11-12 05:01 am (UTC)We Know the Devil is a short visual novel (~1.5-3 hours, depending in how fast you read). Overachieving Jupiter, trouble-making Neptune and shy and awkward Venus are sent to a Christian Summer camp for troubled teens, which tries to untrouble the teens with a combination of the great outdoors, hard work, guitar backed sermons... and sending teams of kids into the woods to meet and defeat the Devil. It's magical realism/psychological horror/religious horror with great atmosphere and music, dialogue that is deep and feels like the midnight conversations you had when you are 14. It is also as a work really interested in themes of monstrosity and being the other and monstrosity-as-metaphor.
The fandom is small but very enthusiastic about its female characters.
As a warning though: there is some violence, and the main characters do get injured. There is also some body horror, but it's less gory and more eldritch.
