Anyone that's ever had a stalker or crazy-ex kniws that the one with hearts is the real threat. The bottom one is just metal and cool.

Haven't had to remember it for awhile. But the freakiest shit I ever got was a stuffed wolf that howled and a flowery note with hearts that said "You'll be mine" left in my mailbox.
At first I thought it was from my girlfriend at the time. I found out it wasn't her, and she was disturbed by it. To this day I still don't know who left it for me. I had some suspicions, but that was like 20+ and I'll never find out now.
Anyhow came rolling back into my memory banks and gave me a chill.
What do you even do there?
Instructions unclear. Pet wolf, change name to Mine.
It took a few listens for me to realize how creepy Every Breath You Take is.
A lot of older songs are super creepy by our modern standards.
That one was made to be creepy. Sting (who wrote it) once said to the BBC that “the song is very, very sinister and ugly. And people have actually misinterpreted it as being a gentle little love song, when it’s quite the opposite.” and that “I didn’t realise at the time how sinister it is. I think I was thinking of Big Brother, of surveillance and control.”
Have some fun with The Beatles' "Run For Your Life" … https://genius.com/The-beatles-run-for-your-life-lyrics 😱
One way,
Or another,
I'm gonna find you,
I'm gonna get you, get you, get you!
Just imagined this as a death metal song
I'd be surprised if a death metal cover of it didn't already exist.
It's more creepy with the script font. At least with the bottom one, the threat is clear and obvious.
So every email in comic sans. Got it.
I was just thinking Comic Sans...
DLSS off ; DLSS on
My doctor's handwriting when writing a romantic note:
I'm not following how those heart placements are worked into the font. They appear kind of random.
I don't think they're font. I think they're frill (my autocarrot kept insisting frijol, which means bean. Is my keyboard a shitposter?)
Yes, I know. I was pointing out that it's not a 1:1 comparison.
The former is scary too, it's just scary in a "why will you not take no for an answer‽" way

Well now I'm wondering why an asexual isn't respecting my boundaries, especially one who hangs out in different sorts of venues from me
(I was referencing the stalkerish lyrics of I'll Be Watching You by The Police)
At least it is not comic sans
Meet me in Montauk
