note to self: Moira's severed right arm vs Alex's cannibalized hands vs Greycrow's prostheses; zombification vs robot transcendence2.

also Moira stealing Sean's skin (Sean's history of zombification relevant? Also Silence energy & graverobbing) vs Maddie persistently remaking Alex in her image

also, the Sinister of it all.

and the Muir Island of it all.

[liesmyth]

For what it's worth, I think it's a stylistic choice on Muir's part to have the names interpreted as "A-" "G-" etc. I've always assumed that Pyrrha is saying G1deon's name, Nona is hearing G1deon's name, and in the flashbacks, John is telling the story using everyone's names. They are written down as initials because it would be confusing for the reader to have another set of names to match to the characters we already know, and because it'll probably would take away something from the "cool factor" of the story if we were explicitly told that Mercymorn was actually Maddie the whole time. The way the shortened names are rendered in the text, with the initial and the dash, stylistocally reminded me of nineteenth century literature were someone is called "The earl of M." so that it wouldn't suspend the readers' disbelief, since they would be familiar with the social landscape of the time and be aware that the real Earl was someone else.

tldr, I think this is a development that we can interpret as fishy, but I personally think it happens for the same reason why Cristabel is referred to as “the nun” (you can interpret that as John's being shitty but also, with two people with C. initials, naming both of them would have made it so much harder to understand who's who). On the other hand, the author is dead etc. I just think that using any other name for G in that scene would have reduced the emotional impact of it by far

Re: your Alecto not remembering post

I think John must have played around with Alecto's memory at some point because in Harrow/Alecto's dream he manages to censor all the lyctor's pre-res names. And we know it isn't just him changing names to self-censor because when Pyrrha says G1deon's name out loud it still is heard by Nona as "G-". Idk if its the same messing around with memory as what he did with the Anastasia thing but there is evidence he has messed with her memory at least once before so who's to say he wouldn't do it again?

Anon you are so right that Nona couldn't hear Pyrrha. And Nona understands the meaning of every language in the universe. She understand Varun's screams, she understands Kiriona's wordless plea, she understands all the people on the planet and automatically translates names as what they mean (i.e. Born in the Morning). So it is so interesting that G1deon's name is the only thing she cannot understand or even comprehend. I need to sit with this.

What Lesbian/Bi Content to Enjoy for a Spooky October

Heart of the Woods

A fantasy yuri visual novel filled with magic, fairies, and a ghost girl. When Maddie and her best friend, Tara, journey to a remote forest village to investigate rumors of the supernatural, they find a whole lot more than they bargained for.

The Girl in the Woods

The Girl in the woods, Peacock drops October 21st and it looks awesome. Horror lesbians are at it again! Carrie, played by Insidious: Chapter 3 star Stefanie Scott, a teen on the run from a mysterious colony she claims protects reality from the "awful things" that lie beyond a secret door in the woods. She meets Nolan, played by Freaky's Misha Osherovich, and Tasha, played by I Am Not Okay with This co-star Sofia Bryant. The three form an unlikely monster-fighting trio, coming up against all kinds of creepy, crawly creatures.

Mother May I Sleep with Danger?

A mother (Tori Spelling) cannot shake the feeling that something is very wrong when her daughter (Leila George) brings her new girlfriend (Emily Meade) home to visit. Her suspicions lead her to a startling discovery that puts many lives in danger.

Fear Street Trilogy

Does the Fear Street trilogy need an introduction at this point?

American Horror Stories Season 1

The weekly anthology series features a different horror story in each episode. Since 2011, the creators of the series have redefined the horror genre with various installments featuring a creepy asylum, a coven of witches, a traveling freak show, a haunted hotel and the apocalypse itself. The television series sprouted a legion of dedicated fans who anticipate what terrors the next chapter will hold.

The Retreat

A couple travel to a cabin to spend the weekend with friends, but upon arrival, the friends are nowhere to be found. The couple find themselves in a fight for their lives when they encounter militant extremists who are determined to exterminate them.

The Walking Dead: The Telltale Games

The game's events run concurrently to the comic, starting at the onset of a zombie apocalypse, where dead humans have become undead "walkers" that feed on the living which quickly overwhelmed most of the population. As established in the comic and show, this is a result of a virus that all living humans possess that takes over the brain of the body once the person dies, and the only way to stop this is to destroy the brain.

The Haunting of Bly Manor

A young governess arrives at Bly Manor and begins to see apparitions haunting the estate.

Thelma

A college student starts to experience extreme seizures while studying at a university in Oslo, Norway. She soon learns that the violent episodes are a symptom of inexplicable, and often dangerous, supernatural abilities.

Gideon the Ninth

Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. The Emperor needs necromancers.

The Ninth Necromancer needs a swordswoman.

Gideon has a sword, some dirty magazines, and no more time for undead bullshit.

Brought up by unfriendly, ossifying nuns, ancient retainers, and countless skeletons, Gideon is ready to abandon a life of servitude and an afterlife as a reanimated corpse. She packs up her sword, her shoes, and her dirty magazines, and prepares to launch her daring escape. But her childhood nemesis won't set her free without a service.

Harrowhark Nonagesimus, Reverend Daughter of the Ninth House and bone witch extraordinaire, has been summoned into action. The Emperor has invited the heirs to each of his loyal Houses to a deadly trial of wits and skill. If Harrowhark succeeds she will become an immortal, all-powerful servant of the Resurrection, but no necromancer can ascend without their cavalier. Without Gideon's sword, Harrow will fail, and the Ninth House will die.

Of course, some things are better left dead.

✨❝nightchill.❞ 🌙 maddie & vi.

✨ @celestieu​ asked 🌙 ∗ o2﹕ sender  offers  receiver  a  bite  from  their  fork . // ok but like... baking spoon instead..... meme. still accepting!

A soaking, heavier-than-considered-normal rain that arrived in the evening washed out plans to visit a small, local dive with a jazz band Virote really liked—he had planned on following that up with a stop to some late night patisserie on the way back to his spot. But, the weather was bad enough for them to stay indoors; though, Maddie didn’t seem to mind that much at all. The schedule was shuffled around and they ended up cooking, Miles Davis playing from the sound system. They had a hefty potful of pork, cuttlefish, and Yunnan ham simmering away on a steady, low flame on the stove, perfuming the entire apartment. Along with hot and sour sweet potato noodles, adding an aromatic of black vinegar and sesame oil.

While waiting for that to get done, they made about half a dozen vegetable dumplings to tide them over while everything else got done. Actually, Maddie was the one that cooked them. He gave her instructions and a clear guide, with a few notes on his tablet on how to get them filled and the best ways in pinching the sealed edges in a visually pleasing fashion. In the meantime, he was engrossed in his laptop, trying to figure out what they could do some other time when the weather was right. 

❝Hey, bestie-westie, there's this cool Muir Woods and Sausalito half-day trip could take if you're down for that? And, maybe—❞ Virote peeped a large baking spoon being offered from his peripheral, holding the fattest dumpling he’d ever seen in his life ( for fuck’s sake, it almost took up the entire spoon. ) The pleating wasn’t the greatest, but the dumplings smelled good. By the scent, he could tell Maddie was heavy-handed with the ginger and green onion.

He took the dumpling into his mouth, the spoon coming along with it. It fell to the counter. Never minding that the dumpling was hotter than Hell from a fresh steaming, it was better than he anticipated. ❝Holy shit, this is great! Are you sure you've never made these before? That’s my mother’s recipe, sometimes it’s hard to pull off even with someone teaching you how. Bring the rest over. And, can you get the peanut sauce out of the cabinet? To your left. It's the Trader Joe's one.❞

Documentary feedback

I’m speechless, such a beautiful film! From the animation to the interviews to the colour grade — I was engaged with it 100% and I couldn’t look away. I honestly cannot think of any critiques because I thought it was so good -- well done to all of you and thank you for sharing your story and experience J :)

from Peter Fraser to Everyone:    2:21  PM

in terms of sheer craftsmanship utterly amazing, the animation has such a wonderful tactility and hostility which given the unnerving events its trying to capture makes sense.  the sound design at the start as well was so piercing and painful which so captured the same event.  The design work has a good consistency and feeling throughout.  there is a lot of really good stuff.  oi would echo what elze said about the interviews needing some inserts of visual variety during the interview part, as after a while they do go for a longer period.  but still the emotional heart of the film is wonderful and really well supported by the formal filmmaking practice you've carried out.  Im so excited to see the next drafts and changes you're planning!

from Mia Bloomfield to Everyone:    2:21  PM

What an amazing film! The light, colourful aesthetic you had taken to reflects J's outlook to it - how they are taking on a positive outlook, and deciding not to dwell on the past but instead focus on the future. I was surprised by the slow take you took to the interviews. I liked the pace of it, but I just knew that there were many more parts of it that you were planning on putting in. The music was excellent, and really helped set the tone. This film is a testament to how strong you are J, and speaks volume to you as a person. Well done, everyone! xx

from Maddy Reay to Everyone:    2:22  PM

this is an incredible film. the huge amount of work you've all put in is undeniable. I especially like the beginning before the big reveal. the score and animation really puts the audience on the edge of their seat, I got chills! I agree with Laurie that the collage effect would be great if you have time to get it

from Will Muir-kirk to Everyone:    2:22  PM

I thought the film had lots of interesting layers, the animation was really good and the soundtrack was good espescially the opening track.  Maddy was a really good adition to the film and helped flesh out the situation and its way of affecting the outside world better. Interested in seeing the final version!

from Will Muir-kirk to Everyone:    2:22  PM

really good

from Molly Mcvinnie to Everyone:    2:23  PM

this is so so good, I literally don’t have any critiques. It’s so lovely and the colours and animations and everything work very well. Very excited to see what you guys have in store for your next drafts guys! Thank you for sharing this with us :))

CRIT BY TUTORS:

“Who am i?” the sound level too low

Music to change more to positive in the interview

Longer film.

Who is telling the story? Who’s point of view?

MORE MEMORY JOURNAL!

Sense of confusion is missing.

Revisit the animation, 

Why is the montage there? Don’t leave things hanging like corona and mom. Everything needs to makes sense.

Flesh Into Fire J.A. Huss & Jonathan McClain (Original Sin #3) Publication date: April 17th 2018 Genres: Adult, Romance, Suspense

Payback is owed.

And Maddie Clayton is going to collect. This time Carlos and Logan have gone too far. People are dead, lives have been changed, and she’s had enough. Plus, she’s got the Devil on her side, so when an enemy turns into a friend with an idea of how to take Carlos down, she’s in.

Tyler Morgan has been fighting back his whole adult life. He’s ready for anything when it comes to payback. But endangering Maddie can’t be part of the deal. Unfortunately for him, once Maddie gets an idea in her head, there’s no stopping her.

Her debt has been paid in blood and she wants revenge. His fight is still there, but now he’s got more at stake than himself.

The end is coming. But even if they win against Carlos, they can still lose each other.

9, 12, 33.

9: What power do you wish you had?Reality warping. I could just make myself and my life be exactly how I want to be, and fix lots of other problems in the world too. And if I wanted any other powers, like flight or time-relapse, I could just change reality so I had those.12: What character do you dislike the most?I really, really hate Sabretooth. He’s one of the few characters that I just full-stop won’t even RP with, and I frankly can barely read anything with him in it. 33: Which character deserves more attention than they get?So many! Probably more than I know! These are a few of my own underrated faves though (and it’s a very biased list, I RP as several of these characters)Fabian Cortez - Fabian was a major villain during the first half of the 90s, and remained an important character in relation to Quicksilver and Magneto even after he lost his “major villain” status overall. He’s the asshole that manipulated the retired Magneto back into villainy for his own ends before then killing him off so he could use his image as a martyr to lead a cult, and he also was a constant thorn in the side of Quicksilver, even kidnapping his daughter during the Blood Ties event. He’s very devious, very competent, and very…hilarious? The guy is definitely intelligent and dangerous, but he’s also RIDICULOUS. Like he’s the thirstiest fucker alive, he does shit like lying to birds and wrapping his cape around himself when he’s scared, he’s a huge diva, he’s just super duper awful with no redeeming qualities whatsoever and he’s so much fun to read. Add that to being a part of some major stories and connected to such popular characters (Magneto and Quicksilver, plus Apocalypse in the cartoon series) and I think more people should be aware of this guy.Madelyne Pryor- She’s not what I’d call unknown, but I’d like to see a bigger tumblr fandom for her. Most of tumblr is only familiar with the movies, but Maddy’s tragedy and pathos and spiral downwards are all super compelling and something I think a lot of people would find engaging. Claudette St. Croix- There’s a lot of demand on tumblr for autistic representation. Claudette is the only canonically autistic mutant in the X-Men series. What’s more, she’s also female and POC, and I’ve never seen someone with autism in media before who wasn’t white and male. Unfortunately, she doesn’t have much of a character/personality, and her “autism” was written as just being completely non-verbal (not that there’s anything wrong with that, some autistic people are, but she never really communicates in any way and we never see her thoughts either, so her personality never gets shown) and staring at nothing, but I feel like if a new writer picked her back up and expanded on her with care and accuracy, she could become a really good character, both in terms of autistic representation and in general. Haven- Haven was a seven-issue X-Factor villain in the 90s and she’s unique for being the kindest, most benevolent “villain” that any X-Men team ever faced. Her story and design are very interesting and unusual, and also stuff that happened to her is actually pretty relevant to things going on now (government team gets sent after a brown woman with a funny religion because well she MUST be a terrorist, and of course they turn out to be right so that makes it okay they opened fire on her immediately before even telling her she was under arrest)Shinobi Shaw- Sebastian’s illegitimate son, and a barrel of laughs. Exploits include trying to drunkenly seduce a yakuza boss and the X-men bursting in on him TWICE while he’s in the bath. He’s not competent or threatening at all, but his flamboyancy and stupidity are just wonderful to read. He also has some unexpected pathos due to his abuse by Shaw, and the glimpses we get of what’s going on under his shallow stupid playboy surface are really profoundly painful. Also, he’s very openly bisexual. Like, blatantly. It’s not GOOD bisexual representation, as it’s used to play up how decadent he is and relies on some nasty stereotypes of bisexuals as sex-crazed hedonists who are probably evil, but, well, it was the 90s. The Hellions - These were a team of young mutants being trained by Emma Frost in the 80s while she was still with the Hellfire Club, but most of them weren’t evil. They were just kids that she got to before Xavier. They were really great, engaging characters with lots of potential, and it was a shame they were killed off. There was surprising complexity and depth to them, and there was surely even more going on we weren’t aware of because they weren’t the focal characters. Between this and their connection to a majorly popular canon like Emma, I think more people should know about them.Zaladane- Given how popular Magneto’s family is, how much fanart I see of them, I think more people should know Zaladane/ Zala Dane. She’s a sorceress from the Savage Land who claimed to be the long lost sister of Lorna Dane aka Polaris, and she used a machine to steal her powers. Lorna dismissed her claims, but Moira MacTaggert confirmed that the machine could only have been used to transfer powers between genetic relatives. Zala then later used the same machine on Magneto to add his powers to what she already took from Lorna. Meaning, she must be related to BOTH of them. The math kinda does itself—she’s got to be Magneto’s daughter. Later changes to continuity makes that impossible, however, but who knows, maybe she came from an alternate universe or something and that’s why Lorna didn’t know about her, how she wound up in the Savage Land, etc. Zala’s admittedly not really noteworthy in her own right, but she intrigues me as a long-lost-Magneto-spawn, and given how much fandom loves the Magnet clan, I think she oughta get some attention.Selene- Like Maddy, she’s not what I’d call unknown, but there’s not a lot of love for her in the tumblr fandom. She’s not really a compelling character as a person, but she’s a lot of fun as a villain who just relishes in being evil. Her ridiculously overt predatory lesbianism is also downright hilarious in terms of how much Claremont was clearly enjoying writing her.Kwannon- Everything Psylocke is today is due to Kwannon. Psylocke was originally a white British woman, a model and not much of a fighter, but a body-swap with a Japanese ninja asassin named Kwannon turned her into the Psylocke we know today. Kwannon suffered tragically for this, and I think she ought to be remembered, especially by any fan of Psylocke. Moira MacTaggert - If you’re imagining a sexy young American CIA agent, stop it right now. I’m talking about comics Moira. Comics Moira is around Charle’s age, very Scottish, and she is actually DOCTOR MacTaggert, a world-renowned leading geneticist whose area of specialty is mutants. She’s badass, she’s smart, she calls Charles out on his shit when no one else does, she has dark issues of her own, and she goes after a kelpie with a giant gun. She’s a longtime ally of the X-Men and friend to mutantkind, she lives at the mansion and forms a relationship with each team member of the time, and even forms/leads her own team of X-Men on Muir Island (the site of her research center) when it appears the original team has been killed. Moira debuts at an early point in the comics, and is an important player in numerous stories for years to come up until her death at the hands of Mystique, but not before she discovered the cure to the Legacy Virus, saving the lives of countless mutants. Moira definitely needs more appreciation, and I’m not even a Moira fan. (I don’t dislike her, obviously, she’s just not an area of focus for me)Exodus- A super powerful mutant from the 11th century awoken by Magneto in modern era, Exodus was a Crusader during his own time and remains one today for Magneto’s cause. He’s so powerful, writers tend to just...ignore he exists, because he can do SO MUCH it’s hard to write him. But I really love his well-intentioned extremism, the fact he really means so well, is often noble, and his really unsubtle gay crush on Mags.And, of course, Sebastian Shaw here. He’s hardly a D-lister in the comics, but all fandom seems to be aware of is movie Shaw and it makes me sad :C
