akira yamaoka surprised me by saying he doesn't think the silent hill franchise has changed at all — though i can't help but feel that all american towns, even those ruled by hateful gods and old cults, are different with time 🦋🌪️

Silent Hill legend Akira Yamaoka doesn't think the franchise has changed as much as you do, since Konami's "philosophical approach" has always been the same
Return to Silent Hill and Silent Hill f are both a part of the same monster

i recently had the honor of meeting silent hill composer akira yamaoka, who makes music for the unhappy moment and was kind enough to say thru an interpreter that i truly knew his work 🕷️ i've been feeling understood by his sad songs, and i hope u will too 𖦹°꩜

'this is a juvenile way to think, but it parades through my melting brain: "i'm scared. i don't like this. i want to go home."'

ashley's writing continues to fulfil and ache in utterly unique and beautiful ways

still the best
the world feels like it's crumbling in the foolish hands of the disgraceful US government, and i'm crumbling with it. maybe the leather nun from nightreign can keep me from losing it completely 🍇

return to silent hill is an incomprehensible mess 💔 and while i might one day think of it as a successful experiment in camp horror, all i can do now is mourn the silent hill 2 adaptation we could have had
