#Edge of Twilight

[uwmspeccoll]

Steamy Saturday

"Women who dare to live in that outcast world of 'twilight' love." "Val sensed something oddly disturbing about the girl. Not until later did she realize what it was -- and then it was too late!" "I love you, Val. I want to be your lover. . .. She brushed Val's cheek with her fingers. . .. Val's flesh tingled at the touch. For the briefest moment she closed her eyes. . .." ". . . a refreshingly realistic treatment of women who are 'different'."

Steamy, steam, steam!!

The sophisticated, witty, attractive, and popular airline hostess Val MacGregor meets her lovely, dark-eyed coworker Toni. Val is confident in her sexuality and enjoys the attention of men -- maybe too much -- but Toni soon shows her otherwise, and Val is awakened to her true desires. Such is the premise of American lesbian romance writer Paula Christian's first novel Edge of Twilight, published in pulp paperback as a Crest Book by Fawcett Publications in 1959. Remarkably, Edge of Twilight has a positive resolution of fully-realized lesbian love, unlike the tragic endings of most lesbian romance fiction from the period.

Paula Christian was the pseudonym for Yvonne MacManus (1931-2002), an American novelist, editor, and publisher who wrote in several genres under her own name but published lesbian romances only under her pen name Paula Christian. MacManus had been an airline crew member herself, flying out of what became Kennedy International Airport in New York, and Edge of Twilight is semi-autobiographical.

The book's cover art offers stereotypical 1950s butch/femme imagery, only this time it is a photograph, rather than being rendered by an illustrator. As a "pro-lesbian" romance, Barbara Grier, in her seminal The Lesbian in Literature, gives the novel her highest rating of A*** for its very sympathetic portrayal of lesbian characters. The National Organization for Decent Literature, however, disagreed. The organization would often flag individual passages they found objectionable in publications but in this case it noted: "Theme of book is hardly a subject for teenage perusal. A book about a pair of lesbians is hardly youthful entertainment. Pages and passages have not been marked as it is generally objectionable."

This shit is goooooooooooooooood

Twilight having a type for tough broody strong girls is very fun, heh. The little nerd wouldn't mind having a bodyguard or two, and if it can go a little closer, a little warmer, a little safer...

Shoutout to this sketch I made on the last drawpile I had with friends lmao. As it turns out the best twilight ships are one with devoted and protective gals that were her enemies in the past that are now fiercly loyal to her <3

If any kinda character would awaken a desire for romance in Twilight, it should be one that is devoted to her. Just sayiiiin. And Tempest has every reason to be thankful and devoted!

Though I will say my fave ship of Tempest is the canon one, from the comics, where she goes back to her childhood friend and hits it off pretty damn well heheh. Imagine the party conversations lmao. "Yo this is my childhood friend and lover Tempest, don't worry about her battle scars and 6 pack abbs, she's chill." Glitter drops is PULLING

Wait a minute

In the October art...

What's in the clouds?

Legs? Spike head shape? Monster!

I think that's why they all had their shields out- maybe they heard a roar? Coooool

The level of detail to have all the shields/swords out, four looking around, and then a very unnoticeable grrr thingy in the clouds... amazing work by Jojo

Honest thoughts entomology-tumblr

*An example of "some other things" may include Nausicaa for featuring bug monsters, A Monster in Paris cause the monster is a giant bug and idk maybe Kung Fu Panda for Mantis. To me though, a single notable main insect character or a subplot involving bugs does not a bug-film make. Also, for the sake of this pole yes arachnids can count as 'bugs' enough so you can put down Charlotte's Web; however Turbo is too far for me. Worms and mollusks can be in bug movies but this is a list made for non-crustacean arthropods.

One random day, on a bridge in Mac Anu, a popular meme was re-enacted.

For Those of you unaware, the original .hack//(pronounced "dot hack") games by CyberConnect2, starred the character Kite, a new player to the in-universe MMORPG "The World". There have been many iterations of The World in the .hack// franchise, and also as many character expies of Kite. So much so they made their own visual guide to tell you who's who.

So, I decided to take 5 'Kites' from the franchise and recreate the Spider-Man pointing meme.

From top left to bottom middle, we have:

Kite, protagonist of the original .hack// games(Infection, Mutation, Outbreak and Quarantine, "IMOQ" for short)

Shugo, the protagonist of the anime and manga .hack//Legend of the Twilight

Sakuya, the lead character in the anime OVA .hack//Quantum

Sora/Kite, aka Sora Yuuki, the protagonist of the Feature film .hack//The Movie: Beyond the World, and guest character in the PSP game .hack//Link.

"Tri-Edge"/Azure Kite, the initial antagonist of .hack//G.U.

Shoutouts to that one Zelda fic I read like a year (or two?) ago where Ordona, instead of glueing Link‘s arm back on after it gets cut off in the manga, decides to stick wings (and gills) on the boi instead

Idk why it randomly decided to pop into my head now of all times, but the image of Link in that spring with edgy-cool wings got stuck lmao. So uhhhh fanart for a Twilight Princess fic that may or may not still be on ao3, I suppose?

Also cw blood so I‘m putting it under a cut ^^

It started out as just a super messy doodle, then gained super messy coloring, and then it all just stacked. Not my usual style by FAR but it looks cool and the messiness fitting imo, plus letting loose like this was pretty fun!

Genuinely don‘t remember much about it (goldfish brain, sorry :( ) except the premise and that Ordona did her best, thank you very much! She doesn‘t know how humans work, how was she supposed to know getting gills and wings might not be appreciated? Link fell and drowned in her spring and now he straight up can‘t #OrdonaDidHerBest
