Happy Mad Hatter Day!

Today is Mad Hatter Day!

I did a poem in the style of How Doth the Little Crocodile. (for my Fandom Empire prompts of Energy + Science Fiction)

The Mad (Hatter) Energy in SPAAACE by okapi

How doth the Hatter drink his tea
While barreling through space,
Safeguarding it with certainty
He throws it on his face!

How carelessly he hurls his riddles,
How unsure is his aim,
Confused, bemused, arch rogue threat quibbles
And quite forgets to maim!

Of ravens and of writing desks
No alien has heard,
The hatter leaps in arabesques
And lands in the absurd!

With energy through galaxy,
Bounds this confounding cad,
Though hats have long since cease to be,
The hatter’s still quite mad!

When I first started collaging, I ordered some Alice in Wonderland materials and did a couple of collages for a challenge comm.





Also I have done some Alice in Wonderland fic but reader beware, it's underage (because it's Alice) PWP which I did for one of my favourite prompt comm ever Corsets and Lemons.

Okapi Watches Scary Movies in the Dark

( previous 5 films )

6. The Uninvited (1944) Meh. I didn't care about the characters, any of them
7. The Others (2001) I liked this but I have seen too many ghost movies not to guess what was going on pretty early. Nevertheless as far as atmosphere, this is one of my favourites. Definitely watch it on a big screen in the dark to get Full Effect. I finished it the following day in daylight and it wasn't the same. It also made me say 'gosh there's a lot of Whitey here,' but Nicole Kidman has that effect on me.
8. Dark Water (Japanese, 2002) Solidly creepy, but I felt bad for the mom too much to be too scared. (Just like my reaction to The Exorcist). I want a haunted house/scary movie that ISN'T a metaphor for bad motherhood.

9. Nightmare on Elm Street (1984). Johnny Depp is in this??!! And Freddy is a bit more gross than I imagined. Like tongue through the telephone. I was a bit disappointed that all she had to do was not BELIEVE to make Freddy go away but they fooled me! Ha, ha! That ending got me good! I love being surprised.
10. Friday the 13th (1980) Kevin Bacon is in this??!! I liked this. I really liked the scene of the girl in the canoe waking up in the middle of the lake after it's (almost) over. Excellent surprise there. And she cuts the killer's head off with a sword. Nice.

I don't know what to watch next...let me know if you have recommendations.
