Just watched Abigail yesterday
Fucking loved it, I loved every second of it but I also covered the screen when rinkles and joey looked like they were going to kiss because I have a revulsion and its a personal problem sksksksk but the movie is great I loved Abigail I was rooting for her the entire time, spoilers below
I loved how camp Abigail was like her movements with Ballet and fucking ripping into you was so cool
The fight scenes was believable, everything each character did made sense. Abigail was always underestimating them and always thought she had the upper hand which led to frank kinda fucking her up. Sammy hiding away cause she knew she couldn't do much but her eventually trying to help but she still got bit. The way that peter knew how to avoid getting bitten was to angle Abigail's face away from him, like during the fight scene in the ballet stage thing he was holding her in a way that she couldn't rip into him and when he pinned her near the stairs he was holding her hands and keeping her face away. Just great details of how he knows how to use his strength. Frank thinking he could instantly control Joey because he didn't know how that worked. The way sammy was reacting to being bitten.
I do not care about lazar, he's kinda crusty
I liked how the characters in fight scenes would have like exhaustion in them, especially joey in the last fight she was wounded, thrown around, beaten up continuously so her sluggish movements was super cool to see. Like yeah that is a whole ass human who fought 3 vampires in 24 hrs and almost died each time loved it
Love how vampires just burst into a shower of blood when killed.
I love Abigail's outfit
I want Abigail to be part of joey's family i feel like they bonded and Abigail had a particular interest in joey because of her knowing the situation with the son.
I don't like lazar because 1 you turned your child while they were a child instead of idk making them grow up, i would forgive him for this one if abigail was like on the brink of death so he was like fuck i'll turn you into a vampire 2 he is an absent father 3 vibes ew skskksksks thats all really
this is like the one movie where i would love a 2nd movie diving deep into like world building of what is it like to have a crime family made up of vampires and its also clear that lazar does turn people he thinks are useful into vampires as well. Like its so interesting. But i am deathly afraid that they will destroy the first movie because I think it was written so well, great choreography, i loved the set, i loved the costumes, the characters were cool it ended great as well.
#Abigail 2024#this is a movie about parental issues and vampires#also maybe a crime family#i want to know more about abigail#this isn't horror for me anymore this is drama urban fantasy PLEASe#I want to see more of abigail doing ballet to fuck people up#but also i know how hard it is to make a 2nd movie good

guy who so desperately tries to find god. who wants to have faith in a higher authority to guide him out of the hole he's in. from the weight of guilt from simply existing, as the person he is. but every time he thinks he's answered his higher calling it turns out he's made the Morally Incorrect choice and his path to goodness and holiness was the road to the devil all along
#now trusting god will give you a way out? there's your real crime!!!#guy betrayed by the protestant promise of a direct connection with god. but is also somehow. joan of arc.#see he never achieves actual martyrdom tho bc he's not allowed to stay dead lmaooo#sam somehow the most unintentionally catholic AND protestant character of all time#dean the atheist who sees religious predestination as the curse it is from the get go. framed as the narrative's Real Moral Authority#but also in the process reifying patriarchal familial power n authority. very very important Value of the Church#i don't think it's that deep. the show's attempt at critiquing christianity. but the way it reinforces christian cultural values???#'religious predestination and absolute faith in a higher authority...bad'#nice nice ok tell me more?#āso you should put your faith in family. in your patriarch (big brother)ā#?????????#the thematic incoherence of it all. it's like the world's stupidest puzzle box to me. i can't leave it alone.#sam = maybe i can find god thru following my destined path. wait oh shit.#cas = maybe i can find god thru rebellion and seeking my own destiny. wait oh shit.#dean = god is fucking dead and me i also feel not so good#the āguy who so desperately wants to find god parallelā <- me coming out as a secret sastiel fan#both of them...finding god in de-[sniper on the roof kills me in one shot]#spn bible studies#j.txt

What's your thoughts on Octavia?
she sure does exist
ok real talk, she's inoffensive, but not really a character archetype i care for, the moody goth teenager. i don't hate her though and her situation strikes a chord. brandon (i believe? correct me if im wrong) calling her a cockblocking bitch or whatever was like. kind of insane and offputting. she's in a really sad situation with a shitty dad but the narrative is so determined to defend stolas over everything and now she's in the wrong for being upset over it? gonna use this to jump off and ramble about stolas abandoning his daughter at every turn because i don't really have much to say about via on her own and i've wanted to complain about this like, forever
like 'stolas is a good dad!' when he:
actively has an open affair in front of her that seems to have kickstarted constant fighting between her parents. stolas does not seem to comfort or communicate with octavia over this whatsoever until she literally runs off crying over it in loo-loo land. even then, he's still fixated on specifically blitz protecting him. go look after your fucking daughter instead of whining about the bodyguard you don't need, dude.
tangentially, invites his affair partner (a stranger that is playing a part in actively disrupting octavia's life and relationship with her father) to what is meant to be a daddy-daughter day (ignores the fact she's not having a good time and then acts surprised when she tells him such) and flirts with him sexually in front of his (underage) daughter. seems to ignore octavia's worsening mood in favour of blitz until the aforementioned tears. has little to say for himself when confronted but assures her he won't abandon her. lol. lmao, even.
promptly forgets about something important to her and abandons her to once again in a foreign place to have sexual banter with his affair partner. is an all-powerful demon who could've pulled blitz away from funny sitcom shenanigans at any point to go look for octavia, but has to be reminded by blitz (sexily, for some reason) that they should go look for their daughters after the sitcom shit is cut short by accident. maybe via can't exactly be killed or hurt but literally anything else could've happened to her while she, a presumably quite sheltered teenager, was running around the human world for the first time by herself. she has to get a pep talk from a stranger (the daughter of her fathers affair partner, by the way) about how her dad might be a fuckup but totally loves her, despite having just spent the last afternoon fawning over blitz instead of worrying about octavia. this stranger is also the only adult bothering to look for her in any capacity. octavia would have spent the entire afternoon lost and alone if it weren't for loona being the only one to give a shit.
'what about my daughter', noticeably just kind of goes home with blitz after everything in mastermind and makes no effort to even call or text her. 'erm he was probably traumatised and exhausted-' literally everyone was just under the impression blitz was going to die. i'm sure they're all traumatised and exhausted. stolas lost his powers and his stupid ass house for a little bit, not even forever, over an affair he actively exploited a power dynamic to consciously have, not caring about how it effected his daughter, or the potential future consequences thereof. hitting the impeccable 'i wont abandon you my daughter who i definitely care about' then instantly forgetting she exists 2 seconds later because he of a hole he dug for himself. the point is he once again prioritises blitz over via. was it that easy to forget about her?
tangentially, if you want to believe that stella is an abusive mother (we haven't seen it in the show but i wouldn't be surprised if they wanted you to perceive it that way) then stolas is doing all of this while allowing stella to have octavia. alone, might i add.
via is objectively right to worry stolas is going to abandon her for blitz because he Does. she doesn't appeal to me as a character persay but her situation is miserable enough that i can't bring myself to really dislike her
#ask#helluva boss critical#confession i actually quite like the scene in ep 2 where stolas just kinda stumbles over#not explaining to octavia really whats going on#i think the fact he CAN'T really explain or defend himself#or maybe he doesnt want to? i think that's a neat little moment with lots to chew on#i actually really like that stolas seems hesitant to BLAME stella. he doesn't want to blame her to via. but also won't explain himself#how much does via know about the family? does she know the marriage was arranged? is it cowardice on stolas' part?#or is he trying to preserve her perception of a formerly happy family here? does he want her to keep that memory even if it was never real?#just kidding theres no satisfying answer and the character stolas was at ep 2 is entirely different to who he is now#and not in a character development kind of way#if you're a teenager upset at the only life you've ever known falling apart your stupid and will be electric chaired#for your crimes of um. being upset with your father for having a public affair and putting it in front of you

2024 reads / storygraph
Outdrawn
f/f contemporary romance
two cartoonist whoāve been rivals since uni, and now have competing webcomics online, have to work together on the relaunch of a cult classic at the comic press they both work at
they both struggle with art-related physical and mental health issues, and complicated families
#outdrawn#aroaessidhe 2024 reads#sapphic books#I thought this was decent! I liked the concept (even if I got distracted by some art related thingsā¦)#and the dynamic between the characters was good. I enjoyed their relationship development broadly speaking#and the emphasis on communication; though it was a quick flip into being together all of a sudden.#The sketchbook doodle flirting was cute. Some interesting exploration of their complicated family situations too.#Thereās a lot of exploration of burnout and carpal tunnel and the dangers of artists overworking which I think are important conversations#and are done with some nuance. But itās pretty much all discussed in the context of the personal pressure they put on themselves#rather than the industry corporate greed and artificial competition created by the comic platform - which are significant in this story!#It felt odd that that connection wasnāt really ever made?#I know that this is a romance and nitpicking the background plot is beside the point and also that I am not a big romance reader#but the premise that the comic hosting site archives everything; wipes the leaderboard; and out of nowhere has a comic competition for#new weekly chaptersā¦Iām sorry but the art world would riot. Even if people enter because theyāre desperate for the cash theyād be pissed#People live off the income from their webcomics! if they were erased (temporarily) with no noticeā¦..there would be crimes committed istg#I simply donāt believe that it would be doable to create a new weekly webcomic with no notice while you also have a full-time comic job#(especially as the only stylistic choices mentioned are full-colour) - not to mention what happened to their 8-years-running webcomics#that were archived? they donāt think about them at all after the beginning? surely theyād care about that?#And then with their new comics they make for this competition (after work I guess) we get vague snippets about them but barely anything#- if theyāre consuming that much of your time I would expect to feel like theyāre thinking about them all the time#rather than the vaguest discussion about genre and cast numbers only.#I guess I just think the whole comic site stunt felt unnecessary for the plot anyway -#it would have worked exactly the same if they were just competing on the normal leaderboard with their normal comics???#anyway - Iām not judging TOO hard about all that because again I know itās not the point and maybe the industry is like that in some place#Unfortunately it was distracting enough to affect my feelings on the book tho lol.#Lastly: the audiobookā¦ā¦ā¦oof. The narrators talk at different speeds; for one.#And Sageās VA does this deeply weird raspy-anime-teen-boy voice for Noah which is such an odd choice#and doesnāt match her character at all.#unforch my library only had the audiobook (what I usually prefer) so I just had to sort ofā¦.translate the narration into a normal voice lol#anyway the romance is good tho

I will never make this because it would be for an audience of one (me) but ever since reading "If we Were Villains" (story about serious drama kids in college who perform shakespeare and deal with a murder) I have been entertaining the thought of a crack fic crossover with High School Musical The Musical The Series where the staff decides they will no longer put on shakespeare after the tragic accident that happened at Thanksgiving, because Shakespeare plays would only increase the tension and drama. So they hire Ms. Jen who decides their spring play will actually be High School Musical (which exists in the 90s in this universe) and it ruins the vibe so much that everyone gives up on being dark and mysterious because they're universally pissed at Ms Jen for making them learn choreoraphed basketball dancing.
#if we were villains is actually genuinely good and has actual literary worth and pulls from shakespeare in an intelligent meaningful way#but unfortunately all i can do is comedy so this is the only fan content i have to offer :(#THE THING IS iwwv is just hsmtmts if it hsmtmts was good and also they committed crimes#they utilize the same parallel of casting choices with real life drama which I love#umm so casting: Meredith would be Sharpay Obvi. I think it would be really funny if James was cast as Ryan bc they hate eachother and would#have to pretend to be siblings working together. And I think ashley tisdale and Lucas Gabreel actually didn't get along when filming#also i love the thought of Ms Jen looking at James and going āi know what you areā#HOWEVER it would be more interesting if james was Chad to Oliver's Troy (which is really just reversing their Romeo and Juliet moment)#bc chad is like nooo don't do theater... stick with me and do basketball... but it would be Coded Subtextually#Unfortunately Wren would be typecast as Gabriella and I don't think that would cause drama bc I don't believe James actually liked her!#I think it was comp het bc she was very sweet and nonthreatening as opposed to Meredith's big flirting energy so she would be a āsafeā crus#lets lean into that actually. this gives Wren a chance to have a personality (bc I enjoy this book but it is not good at fleshing out women#So oliver and Wren spend more time together and kind of talk about James a little and Wren is like yeah James is very sweet#and I like him but it feels so hard to get him to feel comfortable with me... i guess he's just closed off and doesn't talk much#we also get to see more of her personality and interests maybe she's like I relate to gabriella because I also like to Read :) feminism#and oliver is like Hmm That Is Not My Experience With Him perhaps our bond is deeper and James does like me Hm#And then Meredith can flirt with him as Sharpay and James gets pissed and in character gets very intense about how Troy can't join THEATER#that's why he's upset and sad bc sharpay represents theater and only that reason and nothing else and he isn't in love with oliver At All#Alexander can be Ryan now since James is Chad (and he's also Gay) and Filippa can be Kenzie bc they're both queer coded#Anyway at rehearsal one day Meredith and James and Oliver are having their fighting over troy moment and then Meredith stops and is like#wait guys. This musical is so freaking stupid. why are we even doing this#and their mutual frustration at their art being turned into a farce is enough to bond them together and they're like#we need to focus on our REAL enemy: ms Jen#and then they hatch a scheme and it's probably like. They dump a bucket of fake blood on her at opening night a la carrie#and then put on their own rebellious production... it still has to be a musical because i like musicals#families with children are in the audience and they're like OK FOLKS! HERE'S ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW!#if we were villains#iwwv#hsmtmts#high school musical the musical the series

i know this has been said a lot before but man. the way veilguard handled the crows was so fucking weird lmao
#my current pt i'm finishing is the first time i saved treviso and so i did the full end of the crow questline and like.....#why was ivenci written to be so cartoonishly evil? when all they were saying was 'maybe the ruthless crime organization shouldn't run antiv#why was it soooo weirdly feely? like the crows are some kind of found family#and not a crime org that used to *checks notes* buy elven orphans from slave markets and put them through brutal training#like you can say all you want that zevran changed the crows but like. that much????? really???????? i don't believe that#also the whole 'i've never killed an innocent by my count' thing lucanis says. that's....not how assassins work y'all#idk idk this has been bugging me for days. ignore my bitching

mike definitely tried to convince evan he was adopted at one point; he was a little shit of an older brother. in the 80s.
unfortunately for michael, there's a pretty decent amount of clues pointing towards him having been unintentional + not exactly well-recieved, and elizabeth is a smart kid who probably picked up on this.
that joke was definitely getting turned back around on him.
#i bounce back and forth between 'the baby isn't mine' baby being michael and being like... various crimes#but vlad is def a will expy#will might also say something if he's around but that's probably a source of embarrassment for HIM so. maybe not#afton family#afton siblings#michael afton#fnaf#elizabeth afton#cc afton#evan afton

#leave my boy alone! does he has to suffer even in his ugly polygons version? leave his playstation 2 ass alone!!!#also i don't know how to climb the ladder in a crime syndicate#but i really don't think physically assaulting the consigliere is the way to go#also the words 'like most other family members' made me believe that maybe you could beat the shit out of michael#which...honestly that would have been enough of a reason to download this thing for me#well he's not even in the game#can't have shit in microsoft windows#tom hagen

Ngl, could not care less the new take on Narnia is gonna be 'rock n roll', I just hope they handle Susan better then the books ultimately did.
#will never be over how susan alongside peter was told hey we've yoinked you a couple of times for narnia#but now you two cant come anymore due to age and as a result susan ultimately grew up doing various things#including mainly lipstick and such and for some reason shes shamed for it#with the last book literally having all her family die and go to narnia's heaven while susan is left alive and likely#about to be called about her families deaths#like yeah the author said MAYBE she got back in but he also said thats an adult book he wouldnt be able to write#so our last thing with susan was her being kicked out of a heaven because she did the crime of growing up and doing women things

Does our little trio of Ominis, Sebastian and MC have a name yet?
I think Iāve heard/read the Silver Trio which I like! And honestly sounds canon to what students would refer to them as.
I also however have taken a liken to āØļøThe Trauma Trio āØļø .Ā
#lets be real they all need therapy#ominis with his self hatred and family trauma#sebastian with his obsessiveness#and his crimes#mc with the literal weight of wizarding kind on her shoulders#oh and also like helping everyone around her#(maybe she over does it and helps everyone so she doesnt have time to process the horrors she is dealing with)#anyways yea THERAPY#simply post#hogwarts legacy#slytherin
