This is basically how I feel about the movie

abomination-station:

the sexy monster genre may not be my thing, but I do have a certain respect for what Guillermo Del Toro is doing with the shape of water, because while cowardly media like twilight will remove all signs of monster qualities to make vampires sexy underwear models, Guillermo is just full tilt “this creepy fish man is sexy, this woman wants to fuck the creepy fish man. she wants to lick his gills or some shit and that’s ok. fish fucking is valid” like I’m not into it, but goddamnit if I do not respect the boldness of it. go big or go home
