girlhood involves fighting space creatures 💋

He’s in my brain

I’m not in the Monster High or Monster As Teenager adjacent fandoms, but has anyone done “Daughter of The Thing (1982)” and it looks like just a teenaged girl version of Kurt Russell? No tendrils, no tentacles, just a girl with this exact fit and hair

She swears that she isn’t the daughter of The Thing (1982). She’s a totally normal human you guys. She shouldn’t even be at this school. She likes normal human things like not having her blood tested.

Honestly, I love how everyone looks up to Mac for direction the entire movie, but for some reason they all get on his case immediately about calling the people at the other base Swedes.

“They’re Norwegian, Mac.”

Like for some reason in the beginning of the movie when things didn’t go to absolute shit yet they don’t question his judgment much and tend to quickly follow his lead even though he’s a very obvious alcoholic with some underlying anger/paranoia issues (probably as a result of his implied PTSD from being a Vietnam war vet).

But it’s like, the Norwegians. Lol. That’s the real deal breaker for them.

Alright what do y’all consider the funniest joke in The Thing and NO you can’t say the Palmer “you gotta be fuckin kidding” choose a different one

I’m personally very fond of Copper repeatedly telling Mac that the Norwegians aren’t Swedish
