Sapphic Media Roundup

My last reblog reminded me: I've been trying to watch more wlw ship media recently, perhaps in part hoping that I'll latch onto an ongoing fandom instead of joining after the show ends (like with Supergirl 😂). So far on the list that I've tried...

Arcane - Absolutely loved the show, and definitely loved caitvi as a ship. It didn't leave the holes in my heart that drive me to continue the story, though, so I doubt I'll write here (other than continuing the smut scene).

Agatha All Along - Absolutely fantastic show. And a delicious ship (though the ship isn't quite central in my head). I wrote a few ficlets, but otherwise feel satisfied with it. Looking forward to whatever happens next with these characters.

Hawkeye - Just finished watching this and loved it! I absolutely adore both Kate and Yelena as characters. Though I don't think I ship them.

Wicked - Was a HUGE fan of the musical growing up, though I didn't see the characters as gay ("they're straight, just like I am!"). Haven't seen the movie yet, but given that I already know the musical and the book, I don't think this'll spark anything.

Hazbin Hotel - Chaggie, my beloved 🥺 I have a ficlet/small one shot idea that might eventually make its way out. But I don't think I'll write a ton of fics here. I am VERY MUCH looking forward to the next season though!

House of the Dragon - Okay, guys, you can tar and feather me. I think the show's plots are really cool, and Rhaenyra and Alicent are both interesting and infuriating characters at various points (same with the others), but I don't actually ship them. I feel I have betrayed my people, I'm sorry 😭. In any case, I finished S1, but don't plan to continue with S2. It's just too dark a show for me (both in topic, and because they still haven't learned how to light a night scene since GoT).

Wednesday - Absolutely fucking adored this show, and eagerly awaiting season 2. Couldn't get into wenclair as a ship, though - nor either canon ship in the dumb love triangle - because Wednesday strikes me as very aroace. (Watched a while ago.)

She-Ra - Fantastic show and ship. This was a lot like Xena, in that it was so close to perfectly crafted that I don't want to touch it, despite loving it a ton. (Also watched a while ago.)

Warrior Nun - Decent show and decent ship. I don't have it in me to write a season 3, and there aren't holes in earlier seasons that I want to explore. (Also watched a while ago.)

Legend of Korra - Absolutely loved the show and Korra herself. I liked the romance with Asami, though she was much less of a main character than I thought from how people spoke of her, so I think I found myself a little disappointed with canon there.

Rizzles - Watching this show is actually what got me really reading fanfic (around May 2021). I bet I would've written for this ship had I thought about writing earlier, but I wouldn't think about writing until the next year. Love them.

Maybe trying at some point:

Grey's Anatomy/Station 19 - I actually used to watch both until the pandemic, which was right around when marina got started. I love both characters individually and could totally see them together, so maybe I should catch up 😂

ALOTO - I watched an episode or two and couldn't get into it. But this happens a lot with me, so I may give it another try.

OUAT - I've actually seen this in the entirety before. But I'm curious if I'll see any chemistry around Emma and Regina if I rewatch it (I didn't the first time). This ship feels like the closest cousin to supercorp, in terms of seeing it on tumblr, so I might want to give it a conscious shot.

I saw you like well-developed, researched, authentic sapphic historical fiction (such as A League Of Their Own) and I've just gotta ask you: have you heard of Burn the House Down by Kenna Jenkins? It's an alternate history novel abt the 1st woman president in 1945 and her secret interracial sapphic relationship and her bearded marriage with her mlm best friend/biggest foil. It also has a subplot about arson at the White House, ft. an entirely queer main cast and really fleshed out characters, and has a really satisfying ending!

oh my gosh, hi!! thank you for deciding to share a recommendation with me just because i'm a huge fan of ALOTO (why oh why oh why haven't they renewed it yet) because i had not heard of it. and not only is that a subject i'd really love to read more of in historical fiction, but i'm also a HUGE political nerd so you're basically bringing me the perfect book mixing all my faves (it could only be made better if it also included cats pulling off heists--but alas, no story is that perfect).

my fun budget for the money is maxed out already but i put Burn The House Down on my wishlist so i'll won't forget it. :) and i review movies here just because making that a project means i watch more movies...but i'll try to remember to review this book after i read it, too, since you were so kind as to bring it to my attention. (my own obsessions aside, who doesn't want to support fellow indie writers.)

thanks again!

Juliet To Your Juliet | Sarah Sanderson x Fem!Reader

This one counts for my spooky season special also ;)

Okay, this account is officially a multifandom account, guys, sorry hahahahaha

So I was watching Hocus Pocus yesterday and I immediately fell in love with Sarah. That's when that old quest started to look for imagines around here to be able to read, and I realized that we have few stories with her.

So I thought: well, since my profile is full of aloto imagines, and my followers probably can't take it anymore, I think it might be nice to try out a new character. And since all the characters that I start to like out of nowhere always get imagines, it wouldn't be different with Sarah, right?

Here it is, a super cute (and kind of sad) imagine with the best of the Sanderson sisters (and that's not open for debate).

Enjoy!

Got any request? Send me an ask!

Prompt: What price to pay when you fall in love with an immortal witch?

* * *

Sarah knew it would be impossible for such a thing, but she believed in the destination and wanted it to take care of the situation. She believed that after 300 years, her corrupted soul still had salvation. And salvation inevitably would be falling in love with someone like you.

Someone human, someone who had a pure and beating heart, someone who smelled of kindness. That alone could be able to change the heart of a witch created to be the monster she was.

But Sarah knew that, as much as she tried, loving you was impossible for numerous factors: she was bad, you were good. She was immortal, you could get older. She couldn't get out in the sun, you could burn your skin.

And especially, her sisters would never approve such a love. Also, you were at the moment their main prey.

At night, Sarah was going to be a witch again, riding her broom and went out singing in search of children to be young, and when her sisters were distracted enough with those small little creatures, following them mesmerized, she took the opportunity to turn around and watch you sleeping at home, in the tranquility of being a deadly person and no problem. That made Sarah sad because she knew that at some point in your life, the days of you would be told.

* * *

"I already hath decided on," Winnie said on a troubled night at the Sanderson sisters' house. “today shall beest the day at which hour we shall becometh imm'rtal and quite quaint, mine own sist'rs!” She walked around, watching the spell book with caution. "let's wend out f'r hunting, and alloweth's wend backeth with one of Salem's most quite quaint girls!"

Sarah was listening to everything with a pertinent animation, because she loved to go out with her sisters to hunt, loved to sing and bewritten the children. But as soon as Winnie mentioned the most beautiful girl, her expression changed, from radiant, to surprise.

She knew this day would come, she just didn't knew it would be anytime soon.

“Sarah, what is wrong? Aren't thee coming?”Mary asked, her dog-painted eyes and the keen bearing to see if she could smell a problem with her sister. She was grabbing her broom, while Winnie was already outside. But Sarah remained stopped, petrified.

"Thee wend," she said in a sad whisper.

"Ah, please!" Winnie returned to the house, holding Sarah by the arm abruptly. "we needeth thee and thy voice, sarah, what is this bullshit?"

She swallowed hard. "You’ll did hurt h'r, wonneth't thee?"

“It's for her good and for our good, my sister!” The oldest shouted, exultant. "Let's look beautiful and young for all eternity!"

Sarah sighed.

Winnie gave her no choice. She needed to go, or would dishonor her sisters. Sarah set up in her broom and gave boost so that she fly over the sky. With the characteristic cry of Winnie, she began to chant the usual song, smelling the children approaching. And she passed the window where you were standing, awake.

Sarah despaired, but she knew she couldn't stop singing. She thought of landing at your bedroom window and closing the window, just so that her voice stopped and stuffy, so you wouldn't fall into the spell. But it was too risky, you didn't even know each other yet. And it was inevitable, you needed to fall into the Sanderson sisters' spell, or the plan would fail.

A few seconds later, you were flying over the bedroom, your feet landing on the floor and walking out of the house. Sarah waited until you arrived outside to go down the broom and grasp you abruptly. She held you in her arms and smelled the life of you, the smell of good feelings, regretting what she would do.

“I won't let them hurt tee,” she whispered, holding you, taking the words while you were hypnotized. "Never," she promised, giving one more impulse and loosening the touch to her body, not to hurt you.

* * *

When you first opened your eyes, you were tied in a chair. You tried to move your body to prove that you couldn't get out and widened your eyes when you saw the scenario ahead of you. It was the house of sisters Sanderson, the most famous witches in Salem.

The smell of smoke flooded your nose and made you even more confused, and the will you had to scream was present when three ugly sisters approached, with even uglier and horrifying smiles.

One of them, the tall blonde, looked at you with a little more affection.

“Is the lucky rat tail there?” The redhead witch, Winnie, asked her high blonde sister Sarah. "because thee shall needeth that gent..." and a harmful laugh has invaded your ears. "Now, my dear, what is your lovely name?"

"(Y\N) ..." you replied, stuttering. “Will you let me get out of here? I thought you just wanted to get children, not adults like you! ”

Winnie gave one more giggle. “Yeah, we prefer, you know? It has a better taste. But this is a special occasion, my dear.” She turned to Sarah. "Please, my dear Sarah, do the honors... you suck her life and beauty first."

"What?" You and Sarah said in unison. Mary laughed, although it seems a little scared than Winnie. “You can't do that!” You defended yourself. "Spear my life, I promise I won't be intruding with you anymore, I swear for my life!"

"Sarah, now!" Winnie shouted.

She knelt in front of you, a sad look adorning her expression, and then squeezed your cheeks with both hands, closing her eyes.

She pouted her lips, ready to suck your life.

You closed your eyes too, ready to accept your fate.

And then suddenly Sarah buried her head on your legs, sobbing.

"I can't do that ..." she whispered, more to herself than for the sisters. "I ..." Sarah looked up, staring at you and still holding your cheeks. "I would rather die than let thee go ..."

"What are you doing, Sarah?" Winnie shouted. "Take her life!"

"No!" Sarah shouted, and purple rays traveled to Sanderson's house, destroying the nearest objects. "I love her! I'm in love with (Y\N), and I won't bear to lose her.”

Your eyes widened. A witch? In love with you?

"I can't kill her, sisters, I'm sorry." When you least waited, Sarah left the house, and you fought against the more loose strings thanks to the radius of the blonde witch, freeing yourself and going after her. "Go back, (Y\N), please get back, or they will kill me too."

“Then we'll die both together,” you said, suddenly holding her hand. You didn't know why you were doing it, but you could feel that something was pulsing in your heart by Sarah Sanderson. Always pulsed.

"Don't do that, please ..." she asked, and turning to you, took your lips in an unexpected kiss. A few countless seconds later, she broke the kiss. “Please don't get things worse for me. Run. Run away and never return to Salem. Find a way to disappear. ”

"Are you coming with me?" You whispered. "If I escape, will you run away too?"

"The sun will rise..." Sarah whispered, absorbed. “Our love is impossible, (Y\N), and I wouldn't want to turn your life into a mistake because of me. Escape. Escape from Salem, and I promise that if I have a second chance, I shall find thee again. Even if thee get older and get white hair, I shall find thee and make thee know that I don't give up on us. ”

She kissed you once more. "I shall loveth thee f'r all et'rnity, (Y\N). " she promised, and then let you go.

* * *

Twenty-nine years had passed since the last appearance of sisters Sanderson in Salem. And of course time had passed to you too. You never heard of Sarah again, but she tried to change her life and settle away from Salem, as she had asked you.

That gave you huge treasures. Including your daughter, Becca.

And now, you were back, in the middle of Halloween, and she had gotten real friends to be able to live in the new city. You were happy for her, but you couldn't stop suffering from the memories that went and came because of that city.

"Mom?" Becca called suddenly surprising you. "We have guests."

"Of course, honey ..." you exclaimed, smiling. "Come in! I'm in the living room! ”

Becca came in, as you had asked, and you didn't even have the job of turning your head to face those who followed it. I thought it was the two friends who always walked with her.

"Mom, you won't believe it!" Your daughter said, looking excited. And then you turned, staring at the sisters' curious looks for the first time after twenty-nine years. "We light the candle!"

Sarah returned her eyes, shocked, and let a smile escape her lips when she recognized you. She didn't seem disturbed, not even hurt by all that. She was only happy, because after years of suffering, she had finally fulfilled her promise and found you.

She had found a way to find you, as she promised she would do.

Friends, Mutuals, Country(wo)men,

I love you and I trust your judgement over all others, so I’m coming to you looking for your recommendations for my next (inevitable-hyper-fixation/fall-in-love-with-‘that-one-adorable-idiots-couple’) TV/streaming show/box set or film/s to watch next please.

I’ve just finished (and loved) Willow, who basically had me at "hello" (which in Tumblr speak means as soon as y'all kept posting gifsets of these two idiots in love I was never not gonna be hooked)....

and prior to that I've already checked off ALOTO, Motherland: Fort Salem, Barry, Warrior Nun, First Kill, Sex Lives of College Girls, Broad City, Generation Q, Gentleman Jack, The Good Place, Picard, Ratched, Wentworth, OITNB, Orphan Black Bly Manor, Euphoria, Killing Eve, Stranger Things, The Wilds, The 100, Yellowjackets, Wheel of Time, Vigil, See, etc.... and am now also watching The Last Of Us

I’ve got a countless shows piled up in my want-to-watch lists (Breaking Bad, Vikings, The Mare Of Easttown, The White Lotus, Hacks…etc)or anything else you got, but don’t know what to go with next, so I’m looking to you wonderful people!

I’m sure it also goes without saying that I do very much enjoy having a centric wlw couple to fall in love with because I’m a huge sucker for that shit…. so whatcha got?

Hit me!

[binary-not-found]

My mom heard that there is a remake of A League Of Their Own (she loves the 1992 movie) and suggested watching it together, since we both love baseball and love watching movies or shows about it (I watched the show twice already) the thing is that my mom is way too conservative (totally queerphobic) and I as the little lesbian that I am, I haven't told her that ALOTO is extremely gay, I'll let her find out for herself when she watches the first episode and decides she won't trust remakes anymore I know her comments will probably make me upset, but seeing her face that first time Greta kisses Carson (and then Carson kisses her back) will make it all worth it

1, 7, 10 for ALOTO?

I've just finished watching the series & I waited to answer this ask until afterwards and I'm glad I did bc I think my answers changed a bit! Anyway I'm still feeling that cinema high, you know the feeling you get when you walk back into the real world after a fantastic movie? Even though I was just watching on the couch in my parents' living room... Anyway I Love A League Of Their Own, definitely now also bothering everyone who reblogged this ask meme from me with questions about it xD (here it is if someone else wants some questions...)

thanks for the ask!

What originally drew me to it

I'd like to say a mix of Greta/Carson gifs on tumblr and friends saying it's really a great show with realistic representation of so many different people, and that's not entirely wrong but the sad truth is I probably wouldn't have watched it if my parents and sister hadn't already started the series when I came to visit them last week lmfao (I've still not watched the second and third episode bc while I started to catch up, I didn't get vry far before they continued...), so, definitely not just a show for the gays, my family enjoyed it as well! (My dad did have a 'what they're All gay now' moment but more in a 'how did I not notice that' way than a homophobic way xD which, understandable bc How can anyone not notice that from the start)

I just... I haven't watched a lot of TV lately? I'm mostly just reading fic or organizing fandom stuff, maybe watching some YouTube... And I'm actually reading books (discworld, slowly, and Agatha Christies, many), idk why but sometimes I'm just not in a TV mood, so ALOTO would've probably just ended up somewhere on my watchlist for a while!

A character who feels like home

I love all of them and I want to hug them so much and especially Carson I vibe with a lot, but hmm 'character who feels like home' idk how exactly to take that question...

If it's about who I feel most alike to, in some ways actually Greta, because she doesn't know what she wants from life and is always trying new things and can't and in a way doesn't really want to commit, but on the other hand really needs those deeper connections?

And a minor character who just made me feel so At Home and like I don't even know, just Love, is the butch from the lesbian bar <3

A ship I would gladly go down with... and then become Davey Jones, so I can continue to captain said ship for eternity

I'm not so invested in the ships! Maybe that's a yet if I end up in the fandom, because I could see there being great Carson/Greta fix its and all, and I'm vry capable of shipping sth from fanon only, but really from just the canon point of view, I see them more as that sometimes necessary first relationship that's doomed to fail because of all the baggage and mistakes, but it's such a vital stepping stone for Greta to get back out there and let herself love, and for Carson to find herself. Maybe one day they'd be right for each other, maybe even during the next baseball season (yess definitely fix it fic potential xD) but I think Carson was right in not going with Greta, and Greta did the right thing leaving for NY.

Maxine/Esther I could actually see working out! They're so fucking cute, and they're honest with each other from the start. Also, Max had already (at least started to) figure out what she wants before she met her, so I don't think their relationship has quite the same issues Carson and Greta's has there. And ahhh total Only One Bed trope, I mean they're already together but still adsfghjkl that's such shippy cuteness!

Also (I'm terrible with names I barely remember the main cast ngh) but Maxine's uncle and his wife??? RELATIONSHIP GOALS Right There

Again thanks so much for the ask!

[panelshowsource]

do i think that’s the best idea anyone’s ever had in the history of panelshowkind?

!!! she really is the epitome of modest + sophisticated + sexy. and does anyone rock lace better than her??

yes, definitely! i think watching a shit ton of 8 out of 10 cats back in the day solidified that for me. i am super familiar all the major food brands, shops, regions and cities, c-list celebs, older telly series (things like mrs. brown’s boys, father ted, corrie, etc). actually, lsat wekeend at a dinner party there was a couple talking about their recent trip to the uk and i impressed them with how much i know of the geography so much they thought i was from england! but tbf it’s not difficult to impress americans ;)

not sure why you’re having trouble as most of them are on dailymotion and i’ve linked to them many times as well (when you search my blog for ‘stand up to cancer’ it is the first result). check out my f.a.q. to understand how to source things quickly, it’s a great skill to have! all previous eps here, new eps here. enjoy x

three more days! monday is around the corner!! if you like panel shows and women, you’re in for a treat

i wish i got asks like this every day

hello thank you sweet anon!! hahaha well hmm if the answer is very essential to the gifset then i’ve already included it! otherwise if you’re just too curious to contain yourself then i can try and keep that in mind for the future 😂😅 very proud of u for taking education so seriously!!

no request is too specific, trust me! and no...this is a long-running issue over on /r/panelshow...no one knows how to obtain more than i think three episodes, but you have to dig through the annals just to find those, and even then the quality isn’t amazing. i have always said i’ll keep you all updated on that and certainly work on adding what’s available of aloto to the masterpost soon :)

it is, but the post is so long that i’m waiting a little longer to update it so i’m not obnoxiously spamming your dashes with it on a regular basis. i have it ready for this weekend, though, so stay tuned, you dirty animals!

yessssss you know i love him too!! here is the larry tag, i’ll work on fleshing it out with some higher quality stuff after i finish the female top 5 next week! (he’s immaculate on roast battle so expect some of that for a start 😉)

james dressed like he KNEW it was the week queer eye s3 was dropping and he was showing the fab five the respect they deserve ❤️🌈

i really don’t know! alan doesn’t seem to believe it will be on long enough for that, but i would be surprised if it wasn’t tbh even if alan AND sandi left i imagine the bbc would just replace them so it could run its true course. hopefully that won’t happen and sandi at the helm will convince alan to stay on for a while longer. we’ll see!

i made this just for you anon! thanks for your patience :)

hello! based on this tweet and thread...

...it was filmed 17 feb 2018 in birmingham!

why, ed byrne, of course!

anon i love sean lock so much that i genuinely want to know more so badly even though i really try not to gossip dflgkjhsflkghjfhhgklj i know he can be a little snide and obnoxious on tv as part of his character but i truly believe if i ran into him on the street, he would be very cordial, you know what i mean? i am so happy you’ve had nice experiences with him!! and very jealous!! what a dad!!!!

(the most DAD image i have of sean lock: putting bug spray on jon’s legs!!!!!!!! aahhhhhhhh!!!)

f.a.q. // tags // watch links masterpost

ps. closing requests for the next week whilst i make the female top 5 sets! i will also work on the ones i have received, promise!
