Alastor is complicated. We all know he has an agenda. Yes he set out to use her. I do think he does care about her on some level just not as much as he wants to rule everything. I also think the seed of that care has been planted and will ultimately drag him off his path.

We see him panicking when he almost got himself killed defending the hotel against Adam. He's not just scared because he almost died. He almost died for his newfound friends. It's not like him. He started to care and doesn't want to admit it. He was not in control. This is a threat to his plans which he goes on to reaffirm to himself.

There's a conflict going on here and it could resolve with him continuing on his path to evil making him a really epic villain. He could also come around and grow into a rather interesting hero. Time will tell. It will be entertaining either way.

I don't doubt Alistor is bad. Even Charlie knows he's bad. She told Vaggie as much in the pilot. She took him in anyways because she believes he can change.

I agree with her.

The Alastor delusion on tiktok is actually bewildering, like this comment on a video about how sweet and fatherly Alastor is to Charlie

Oh yeah?

This guy?

This guy right here? He's the one singing about guiding her with pure intentions???

Oh this is the face of a man with no nefarious intent to you? An honest, well meaning, all around swell fella??? This is your non-manipulative guy??????

Reassessing Trujillo’s Motivations

Was Rafael Trujillo’s offer to shelter Jewish refugees during WWII truly compassionate? Explore the complex motives behind his “humanitarian” act, from racial agendas to image repair. #UnmaskingTrujillo #HistoryExplored #SosúaSettlement #JewishRefugee

Part 4: “A Double-Edged Deed: Was Trujillo’s Offer to Jewish Refugees Truly Altruistic?” At first glance, Rafael Trujillo’s offer to shelter Jewish refugees fleeing Nazi persecution seems compassionate. It seems like an act of profound humanity. Yet, as we peel back the layers of his motivations, a more morally ambiguous picture emerges. His decision to allow Jewish refugees into the Dominican…

Propaganda Matrix: Unveiling the Invisible Puppeteers

The Propaganda Matrix: Unveiling the Invisible Puppeteers 🎭 Have you ever paused to wonder who’s orchestrating the narratives that flood your newsfeed, shape your opinions, and even dictate your reality? We live in a world where information is power, and the battle for control over that power is waged relentlessly through a complex web of manipulation and deception. This is the realm of the…

In a world of digital media and hidden agendas, journalists play a dual role; disseminating facts while quietly supporting a dangerous and insidious agenda. Many journalists, their identities disguised, aid terrorists in their malicious campaign of mainstreaming anti-semitism. Their dangerous and malicious acts, hidden in plain sight, threaten the very fabric of our society. We must all be vigilant of these dark forces, and work together to stop them, lest our world descend into a chaotic and dangerous abyss.

The Sexiest 2023 BL Scenes

I think we can all agree that there is an art to executing a sex scene -- and not everybody's an artist. This year, we (and, by that, I mean you) gif'd a couple of masterpieces that range from romantic to...educational. Here are the ones that live in my head rent free, in order of PG-13 to NC-17:

BEST ROLE-PLAY SEX: Bed Friend

If you had told me last year that incorporating cat ears into foreplay would result in one of the hottest scenes in BL, I would've given you bombastic side-eye. But James, the actor who plays Uea, pulled it off, and is probably responsible for a lot of Amazon orders till this day. (Episode 6)

BEST BEACH-SIDE SEX: The Eighth Sense

This entire sequence was so beautifully lit in golden tones, with soft touches, and romantic moments. It almost made you forget about the depression plot. Almost. (Episode 6)

LONG-AWAITED SEX: Hidden Agenda

Joke yearned for Zo in a way that was borderline comical. From the moment Zo kissed Joke like he was trying to give him CPR and then promptly shoved him out of his apartment, I knew every kiss after that would have to come with a parental warning. I'm surprised Joke didn't move in. (Episode 8)

DO-OVER SEX: Love Class 2

The music for this sex scene was so perfectly matched with the caressing and hand closeups. And the fact that it happened after the initially-ghosted Joo Hyuk got Sung Min to reconsider made it even sweeter. (Episode 9)

BEST WET SEX SCENE: Kiseki: Dear to Me

I may have enjoyed Ai Di and Chen Yi's love story more, but Fan Ze Rui and Bai Zong Yi were helping us all live out our tall boy fantasies. When he mounted him with a soft bounce, I knew the gif Gods would giveth. (Episode 7)

BEST EUPHORIC SEX: Only Friends

Ray looked like he reached nirvana when he made love to Sand in that sardine can of trailer, so of all their sex scenes, this was my fave. (Episode 9)

BEST INSECURITY-INDUCED SEX: Only Friends

Say what you will about Boston -- and the fandom has said a lot lol -- but if you had to choose a cast member to get you off, you'd choose him in a heartbeat. And yes, this scene was grimey. He f*cked his friend's potential boyfriend in the backseat of his car after manipulating him into believing he was cheated on, but can you blame him? He was probably tired of always having to give and never receive. Plus, Top did this vibrating move that made me wonder who told Force to do that... (Episode 3)

BEST CENSORED SEX: Wedding Plan

I'm still mad that this scene wasn't in the Youtube cut. It paints an entirely different picture of their dynamic and their personalities. But thank God for the gif'ers, otherwise I would've missed how ravenous they were when they weren't...wedding planning. 😳 (Episode 6)

BEST WHIPLASH SEX: Be Mine Superstar

To be clear, WE were the ones getting whiplash. One minute, we were watching a sweet love story between an innocent college kid and his idol crush, and the next minute we were watching a masterclass on how to bang your one-night stand (consensually) until he agrees to date you. It's like...Sir, I'm on the train. Could you give a bitch a heads up? (Episode 8)

***

While I am generally envious of every single one of these experiences, I'm even more envious of everyone's knee strength and flexibility. I could never. Rollerblading has ruined me. If I tried half of these positions, I'd have to get physical therapy. 🙃
