In what context? Like, in a which one would I prefer to have over for dinner way? Or more of a which would I least oppose dating my teenage daughter sorta way? Or, wait- I have a teenage daughter?!? When did this happen?!? Why didn’t you tell me!?! I, umm… what were we talking about again?
@baqui63@thismyusername while I liked the premise with the Silence, it was poorly executed. Angels felt more terrifying. Of course, the we have the follow up episodes with the Angels, which just ruined them. Ugh, Manhattan. Even without it being the goodbye, I’d have plenty of reasons to hate that set of episodes.
@hchavers How about the neighbor that approached me when I came home late last night asking if I wanted to buy his play station. His mom’s short of funds and he’s trying to help her out without violating his probation but it’s tough, there’s no work and bills are due.
@mehcuda67 It can be hilarious - if they are birds. For humans, not so much. A quite a few years ago I had a pair of barn swallows build a nest in the corner of my front porch. All was well until the kiddies were so big that they barely fit in/on the nest, while the parents tried to lure them out with food. It had been raining for days, and the kids were having none of it.
Finally, Mom sat about a foot from the nest with something wiggly in her beak, and the kiddies actually knocked one of their siblings out of the nest while trying to get fed. Mom took that opportunity to drop down and feed the one on the porch floor, while the other peered over the edge of the nest with looks of consternation. Then Dad came back with something in his beak, and when none of the other kidlings would venture out, also fed the one on the porch floor. The smartest (apparently) of the remaining fledglings then took a leap of faith and got fed on the floor. It took another hour or so for the remaining ones to follow, but the sun came out and they were soon taking flying lessons on my front lawn.
They must have learned fast because as soon as the sun started to set, they all flew back to the nest. This scenario repeated, with variations, for the next three days. On day four, I was delighted to see the parents actually fly to the nest and start forcing the kids out with loud squawks and use of beaks. That night, only two of the brood came back to the nest, and they had vacated when I checked just after dawn. It was the late '90s, so they were Millennials.
@rtjhnstn First time I ever saw that movie, I was on an airplane. I laughed so hard (multiple times) that I had tears streaming down my cheeks. I’m sure my fellow passengers thought there was something seriously wrong with me.
Spirits… out of the bottle variety!
@benj Oh man, have we got a site for you.
@benj @Thumperchick
They don’t sell whiskey

@Thumperchick Yes. I was involved with Kickstarter to fund this new site and have been reaping the benefits!
Witches
@heartny Does that include white magic witches, or only those casting dark magic?
@heartny @mfladd
Don’t know why, but I am still haunted by this episode of westworld.

@KittySprinkles!
@mfladd She’s my kind of witch!
The Angels from Doctor Who. Frakking scariest things ever.
I’d have gone with distilled and aged and/or filtered beer (commonly called whiskey/whisky) if it wasn’t already claimed above.
@baqui63 but what about the silence, that is surely worse… wait what was I talking about?

@baqui63 my 12 year old son is terrified of the Weeping Angels
@baqui63 @ragingredd Every time I see them on Doctor Who, I think “Why don’t people just blink one eye at a time until they can escape?”
Scary creatures are all sort of meh.
The 30 year old that just got forced out of his parent’s house. Well, I actually do not prefer that, but it is the scariest.

@moondrake that is a very scary
Kids that return to the nest, in general.

Humans. They can be super scary…
A mid-day nap with no supernatural bullshit, tyvm.
Zombies!
But the GA Romero shufflers, not the Alex Garland fast movers.

Listening to the Sword and Scale podcast…
/giphy Creepy scary
You truly can have it all!

Fairies, man. They’ll fuck you up.
@PolkSaladAnnie - Yeah! Where’s the daoine sidhe option?
@aetris @PolkSaladAnnie What about the Absinthe Faeries?
All of the above.
If I had to become one… Vampire.
I don’t see the invisible man!
@llangley or Weller 12, Angel’s Envy, …
Werewolves, duh! But not the scary flesh-ripping ones, rather the ones who would be super nice to snuggle up with on a rainy day.
@PooltoyWolf haven’t seen a snuggly werewolf yet. Where do I find one?
@RiotDemon Technically, you’re speaking to one!
@PooltoyWolf ahhhh, didn’t think of it that way.
@RiotDemon Inflatable werewolves are very cuddly! No throat slashing, I promise.
Bow chickka wow wow
Pokemon.
