THE FINAL GIRL.

congrats, you're the one who makes it to the end. your instincts, paranoia, and/or pure fucking stubbornness guide you every bloody step of the way. when the dawn finally breaks, you're the last one left standing. sure, it cost you friends and loved ones and you're going to have one hell of a therapy bill, but at least you're alive.

THE ASSHOLE.

it's not really clear why you have such a massively shitty personality, but for whatever reason, you make it your mission to get on everyone's bad side. everything out of your mouth seems to be perfectly engineered to piss everyone off and your every move is stupid as hell. Secretly, everyone is hoping you get shanked first.

THE TRAGIC HERO.

you are the good guy who just cannot catch a break. your life just fucking sucks, frankly. one day, you have friends, family, hobbies you enjoy, maybe even a dog. and then, something happens that sets off this never-ending chain reaction of bullshit and it all gets swept away from you in a heartbeat. all your friends are dead now and you might be alive but god at what cost.

THE WHORE.

sure, sex is pleasurable and fun, but do you really think doing the nasty in the middle of a haunted house is smart? there's a murderer out there and you're taking off your clothes which is REALLY ill-advised. you could get tetanus! you seem to be under the impression that you're in a romcom or softcore porno, not a horror movie, and that's a lethal mistake to make.

THE COMIC RELIEF.

you're the jokester, the prankster, the funny little guy who has the meta quips to ease some of that delicious tension the narrative's been building. you're there to lure the audience into a false sense of security so they don't see the next gruesome kill coming. you're probably pathetic and weird but your friends love you. unfortunately, you probably die in the end or you fake everyone out only to die for real in the sequel.

THE KILLER.

oh, you're the one doing all the killing. you're the violent little guy with a chip on your shoulder, the undead nightmare with a mind only for revenge, the unhinged psycho who just likes to inflict pain for fun. either way, you're the catalyst of this whole narrative, the lynchpin on which the entire plot rests. you either die in the end or live on through numerous sequels, prequels, reboots, and spinoffs.

ROUND 1 BRACKET LISTINGS

Welcome to Round 1 of the Wasted Woman Poll, the tournament to see which fridged woman deserved better!

Thank you everyone for your patience for Round 1 to begin. Now that the semester is over, I finished the list of match-ups for the Round 1 bracket.

There were 89 contestants for this tournament. Anyone familiar with tournaments knows that it doing a 89-contestant, single-elimination tournament would be annoying. Rather than cutting out 25 contestants to make it a 64-contestant tournament, I opted to use the format of a 64-contestant tournament, just with some of the poll in Round 1 (a majority of them, actually) being three-way polls with a single winner rather than solely two-way polls. So out of the 89 contestants going into Round 1, only 32 will go on to Round 2. Many of the listings in Round 1 will be characters from the same series going against each other, so that the future rounds will be more varied.

The tournament will be split into 4 sets of 8 polls each, with every poll running for a whole link. Below the cut will be the list of match-ups for each set and when the polls will premiere.

If there are any mistakes at all (spelling, if a character appears twice, if the media someone is listed under is incorrect, etc.) please let me know! I did double-check it, but I'm only human so errors do happen.

IF YOU'LL INDULGE ME AGAIN......... what are your favorite ships from horror content?

(Sorry it took me so long to answer this I had to consider).X

I honestly haven't watched enough romantic horror movies; I know this because I googled it and went "oh shit I need to watch ALL of these". I feel like a lot of what I watch re: horror has relationships that are more... psychosexual than romantic?

Hannah/Owen, The Haunting of Bly Manor. I recently rewatched this and my God, one of the most tragic love stories I've ever seen onscreen? But gorgeous? Just when he's lighting the candles at the end and the narration talks about him accompanying her body to the morgue and cleaning her, and about how "he loved her the whole way" and how he loves her still? JESUS. A SOFTER one. I also love Dani and Jamie, but Hannah is my... favorite, so if I had to pick between the two, it's Hannah/Owen.

Louis/Lestat, Interview with the Vampire (2022). Toxic and horrific and I'm oBSESSED. The way this show has Jacob Anderson AND Sam Reid, perfectly cast and giving it their absolute all... with some of the most intense onscreen chemistry I've ever seen... PLEASE. "He was my murderer, maker, my maker, and my lover" lol God.

Gomez and Morticia Addams. I mean, if they count, which I say they do. I love them so much I named my cats after them. And I'm sorry to purists, but the 90s version played by Raul Julia and Anjelica Huston is THE STANDARD. They have such incredible chemistry. They're so in love! They're so horny! They're so goals. I'm literally watching the scene where they're on the couch in the graveyard and she's talking about how one day they're going to be buried together, and they get so worked up they fuck on the couch. And presumably??? Conceive Pubert???? God I love them. Top tier. Inspirational romance.

Google tells me The Mummy counts, so Rick and Evie, obviously. They deserve to be EVERYWHERE.

I kinda loathe to bring up Joss's work, but I do think the Angelus/Darla thing was.... quite formative for me.

Happy Valentine's Day, here are some headcanons of my Choices/Pixelberry OTPs' favorite assets of each other

Ideally I'd make some edits for this holiday and I still might, but there are also a lot of edits I'm working on lol. So have these headcanons for now. Prepare to meet some familiar MCs/pairings as well as a couple of new ones that I haven't talked about a lot!

Evie x Aiden (OG HSS)

Evie: She likes just about all of Aiden. His hair, his eyes, his lips, his lean stomach, his chest, his waist, his hips, his thighs. But probably what she gives the most attention to is his sculpted ass. She's a major ass woman.

Aiden: His personal favorite is Evie's nose as it reminds him of how close she is to him, as stated in the game's canon in the premium carriage ride scene. But what he's most attracted to in my opinion is definitely her chiseled abs and especially her taut muscular biceps and slightly roughened hands. He tends to be most fascinated by hands and arms, and the fact that she's buff especially drives him wild.

Cher x Ajay (HSS:CA)

Cher: Is a big fan of Ajay's ass (fun fact, I can have MC comment on liking his "hot butt" in their premium prom scene in the canon game). But is also an especially big fan of his hourglass figure. She also appreciates his hair quite a bit.

Ajay: All of her face probably, but most especially her eyes.

Jordan x Julian (HSS Prime)

Jordan: Julian's hips (Payton comments on how he has the hips for dancing bachata in Prime so yeah). Cue Julian being surprised at someone who is attracted to an asset of him that isn't his muscles.

Julian: Jordan's muscles. She's the "ridiculously jacked for a nerd under her sweater" trope and that definitely catches his interest.

Jo x Lucas (ILITW)

Jo: Her favorite feature has to be his slender waist, long legs, and overall twinkish figure. Though the LucASS is a very close second. The gel-slicked hair, glasses, old-fashioned and body-hugging dress styles, and his face are just the cherry on top.

Lucas: Initially he can't decide and just says all of her. But in the end, he'd have to go with her hands. And her smile.

Harper/Addison x Tom (ILB)

Harper/Addison: All of him. Just all of his lean-muscle twinkish figure. Okay, her particular favorites would have to be his chest, belly, and thighs, but really they love all of his figure.

Tom: He can't decide.

Cedric x Jocelyn (ILW)

Cedric: Easily Jocelyn's abs. IIRC, Joss is also implied to be tall both in ILITW and in ILW, so I think he'd find that pretty hot too.

Jocelyn: Either his ass or his nipples (she's given these features quite a bit of extra attention in their smut scenes).

Peggy x Tyler (MAH)

Peggy: Tyler's ass, no contest. Given Tyler is a track runner, after all.

Tyler: He can't decide. Probably her lips? Or her arms?

Lew x Liam (TRR)

Lew: Liam's Royal Posterior, AKA his Perfect Royal Backside (both of these are descriptions used in in-game dirty thirty scenes), as well as his fairly hourglassy figure. Particularly his wide hips.

Liam: All of Lew.

Dick x Peg (DLS)

Dick: Almost all of Peg but especially her muscles.

Peg: Almost all of Dick but especially his ass.

[thursdaygrl]

DGS Rarepairs, Pt 5

Lady Baskerville x Mrs. Asogi (I got this by listening to Vigilante Shit. Originally, I thought this song described Lady B's situation if she left Klint in the aftermath of the Professor case -- but the ex in the song is implied to be a cis woman, which doesn't really suit a storyline where she starts an affair with Genshin...so, why not set her up with Mrs. Asogi in this case? Definately AUish, but I guess they could've always secretly meet up? Especially if the Ziekervilles & the Asogis had some kind of polycule going on?)

Lady Baskerville x Evie Vigil (they have the vibes like they met up in a writers' group & later fell in love by collabing on a steamy romance-mystery novel. Hmm. Maybe they try & react all the scenes & storylines they've written, you know, "for research?". Love this! I may actually write this one)

Rei x Barok (Rei would have to be aged up here/Barok aged down. Either way, I kind of love the idea of him swooping in & saving her -- she loves a gallant, chivalrous, handsome man after all! Bonus points if there's a scene where they have to bandage each other or Barok seductively pour wine over one of his chest wounds to clean them before Rei bandages him. This one's giving me "Barok international sexy seductive superspy" vibes, although it totally makes sense in canon, given how often he's attacked. This is an oddly fun idea to me --- I may write this one.)

TW: Alcoholism, depression, divorce, unhappy marriages, death

Barok x Irene Adler (until I finished the game, my OG theory about Iris' parents were van Zieks -- that is, Barok van Zieks -- and Irene Adler had a happy marriage before the Professor case + Barok's depression era happened. Irene later decided to leave Barok without telling him she was pregnant. She later gave baby Iris to Sholmes, her good friend, hoping that Iris would have a stable, happy home with him, before dying in childbirth.

Obviously, jossed by the canon, but now that I know that Sholmes himself sometimes crossdresses as Irene Adler & he is Iris' father, this is actually plausible! I'm so pleased because I can finally write a lighter version of this story! Plus, I'm a Vanlock shipper, so it's perfect! I'm definitely going to do a love triangle thing when I get to writing this one.

[eviesessays]

Thank you for keeping Evie's story alive.

Evelyn Anne Joss (November 13th, 1935 - March 16th, 2024) lived a tremendous life. Here, in 43 short essays, Evie masterfully offers her narrative of reflection, gratitude, endurance, and triumph. May we honor her story, heed her lessons, and cherish the marvelous woman that she was.

[jessica-marie-baumgartner]

Oh damn haha

[florbelles]

btw sorry about the fallout tv show’s lore guys the problem is they decided joss was canon in this universe

[itlivesproject]

I'm a Joss main first but I had to go back and finish my second playthrough where I went down Amalia lane and OOoooOooooo when she said she was Demisexual you know I slammed my desk so hard with excitement. She's a best friends to lovers AND Demisexual. Also I squealed so loudly when my MC and Joss finally kissed in the slow burn route her dialogue broke my heart "I hope I don't regret this" and she...WALKS AWAY GIRL TALK TO ME. It's my MC your sunshine girl, your little power freak, your good time girl!!!!

Anyways kithes to all of you on the team. You've all brought so much joy to my life I haven't shut up about it since release

Amalia's route is so delicious, we love Eri and Evie for it (and Shionch, for scenes in future updates). And as Joss's slow burn writer, can I just say I'm glad you're enjoying it. This scene was a really enjoyable one to write and I'm so pumped seeing all these reactions to it.

Hello! This might be a bit of an odd one, but do you have any HC recs where the heroine is a product of & generally operates within the constraints of her society? I like a liberated 'I snuck out every night to learn swordplay/ride horses/cast off the shackles of femininity' heroine as much as the next reader, but I feel like somehow I've read a string of them lately and I'd love something different. Thank you!

Sure! I totally get what you mean, and I often prefer these heroines, tbh.

Generally speaking, Alice Coldbreath gets recommended a lot for these. I've only read one of hers (so far) and tbh I wasn't a huge fan, but I do plan on reading more as it was an early work.

Marrying Winterborne comes to mind--Helen is a sweet, gentle, classic debutante. However, I highly, highly recommend reading Cold-Hearted Rake first (which, to be fair, doesn't have a super subversive heroine either) to get the full effect, as Rhys begins courting Helen in that book. Plus, he has his iconic "you want a bit o' rough???" moment.

You've probably read this one, but I find Evie from Devil in Winter fairly conventional, and I think Annabelle from Secrets of a Summer Night is even moooore so. like, Annabelle literally just wants to be a cosseted blue-blooded wife. Win from Seduce Me at Sunrise definitely wants Kev to Claim Her but she's otherwise pretty conventional. Aline from Again the Magic is pretty conventional. Tbh, I think Kleypas has developed a certain rep due to a couple of her more prominent heroines (Sara and Lillian come to mind) being a bit more rebellious, but a lot of her heroines are very conventional ladies.

The heroines from Joss and The Countess and Hugo and The Maiden are pretty conventional in different ways--one is a cold widow who is admittedly sort of like, exploring hookups now that her husband is dead (I don't... think this flouts societal conventions of the time though, tbh; you had a lot more freedom to get yours once you were a widow if your finances were in order). The other heroine is a vicar's daughter who's all about helping the less fortunate, etc.

Private Arrangements by Sherry Thomas has a variation of this, but the heroine is less about being a perfect debutante so much as she is the cosmopolitan rich aristo wife who's on the outs with her husband and has her indiscretions... as does he. Until he comes back and demands an heir in exchange for granting the divorce she wants. The Luckiest Lady in London also has a conventional heroine, all about marrying for money etc.

A lot of Lorraine Heath heroines are this to a Jayne from Waking Up with the Duke, Julia from The Earl Takes All, definitely Olivia from Between the Devil and Desire, Franny from Surrender to the Devil (she is lower class but she's otherwise pretty conventional), Aslyn from Beyond Scandal and Desire, etc.

Honoria from Devil's Bride by Stephanie Laurens was a pretty conventional governess type.

I think you'll find that the first four of Jennifer Ashley's Mackenzie heroines are by and large pretty conventional--but especially Isabella from Lady Isabella's Scandalous Marriage.

The heroine from Julie Anne Long's What I Did for a Duke isn't super out of line in any way.

Both heroines from Joanna Shupe's The Lady Gets Lucky and The Bride Goes Rogue are very conventional in a lot of ways (I know many people will cite the French Ball scene from TBGR as suggesting otherwise... but that shit did in fact exist.....)

The heroine of Scarlett Peckham's The Earl I Ruined is very much a typical spoiled society girl.

Stacy Reid also writes a lot of heroines along these lines!

Submissions so far!

Have a new mosaic header, with the women who were submitted so far, and a list, grouped by show/movie etc., under the readmore!

Don't worry; if your champion isn't in here, you can still submit them via this form, until April 30th!

I chose these pictures based on the following ranked criteria:

included/linked in the submission OR

actual still from the movie/show/whatever, rather than a promo shot or fan art etc. AND

showing them in a characteristic and/or competent situation

for the characters Deanna Troi, Dr. Beverly Crusher and Seven of Nine, I decided to go with their most recent appearances in ST:PIC

If by any chance I chose NOT a still/screenshot, but your manip of the same, please let me know if you'd like me to take it down/replace it, or keep it and credit you!
