Girls5Eva is the best thing that ever happened to me, actually
#stephen colbert delivering that line like it's the most brilliant innovative idea anyone has ever had is kind of important to the joke#but it's still funny even just as text#I also appreciate simultaneous representation for women who are queer in a way that isn't tailored to male fantasy#and also women who are queer in a way that's deeply appealing to male fantasy#or maybe being a male fantasy is part of their own fantasy it's all very complex and it's not our place to judge#and I do think tina fey has historically been very good at pointing out the rather condescending attitudes some women have#towards women who perform for the patriarchy#like they don't know any better or they're being disingenuous or they're oppressed#and summer is such an amazing character who really humanizes the need to perform beside the need to own yourself#and how they are and are not incompatible especially for a literal performer/singer like her#girls5eva#paula pell#busy philipps#stephen colbert#alf musik#gloria mcmanus#summer dutkowsky

i want to know more about their relationships with each other like all of them every single relationship do they hate each other friwnds that want each other carnally ik two of them r husbands and one of them has a stupid gay ctysh but i want moar expand please 🤲🏽
SURE SURE OK its complicated uhh
alaric and armand are gay married* yeah, armand is the normal guy who holds alaric back from doing irrational things but he's also deranged its just not as obvious. alaric and venus are not related but view each other as close friends/similar to siblings, they're like family friends, and venus is also close with armand because of their shared interest in the arts (although venus enjoys music/visual arts more while armand is a book guy, they love to talk about plays)
cecilia and venus are also gay married* and wow they literally invented love. cecilia was a performer of some sort...a dancer or actress or singer i haven't decided but of course this kind of thing is right up venus' alley so they immediately took notice to her. as it happens when venus tries to approach her cece gets into some sort of trouble and venus comes to the rescue...they are every romance cliche ever but its so so earnest and real. they also absolutely send each other the world's most beautiful love letters.
ok this is starting to get SUPER long so more under the cut!
pretty much every single vampire in this weird ass family is an asshole but all of them have a soft spot for cecilia because she's just. so sweet. she remembers and notices things about people, she gives the best gifts, makes people feel special etc. ceclila is very capable on her own but yk if anyone gives her trouble they will answer to six other vampires who have few issues with killing and maiming.
asphodel is kind of a loner or at least the least involved in this ragtag bunch...she doesn't think she's really interested in genuine connection because immortality and incompatibility with humans broke her heart many times. obviously this is a lie. and obviously yuki sees right through that. everyone warns yuki not to go near her (with good reason because asphodel is fucking crazy. she is the source of several vampire legends because she loves causing problems for mortals) but of course this doesn't deter him at all.
armand and asphodel were friends who kind of lost contact and he started hearing insane shit about her (think phoenix seeing people call his elementary school bestie the 'demon prosecutor' and being like hey what the fuck) and so he warns yuki about her but yk deep down he does miss her and wants to know what the hell is going on with her
tiago is one of the most fun guys here bc hes the most pathetic but he is so convinced that hes the shit. he thinks hes hot (true) and suave (not really) and smart (...). he and yuki are equally pretty shit at pulling anyone and they both think they're smoother than they are. they make kind of a comedic pair to be honest.
there's a bit about cece missing her family, and while tiago and cece are not remotely related (hes much much younger and also mexican and shes venezuelan) he reminds her so much of her real brother and feels like the closest connection to the rest of her family. i said earlier everyone has a soft spot for her but tiago especially (aside from venus of course).
venus took a liking to yuki because he showed them how to listen to music online and this absolutely rocked venus' world. you can listen to music...without a phonograph?? and then he showed them bootleg play productions on youtube etc and how to pirate media and yk they immediately adopted him. they respect yuki's...alternative taste in music but encourages expanding his horizons to classical, jazz, and opera. yuki's receptiveness to these genres has been hit or miss.
tiago annoys venus. they find him vapid and obnoxious. but he makes cece and yuki happy (venus expected fellow lesbians to have better taste in male company but alas) so they tolerate him.
tiago agrees with yuki that asphodel is hot and he's very impressed with her. unfortunately for him she is a lesbian and also does not know he exists until way after she meets yuki. this is endlessly amusing to yuki.
*almost all of them legally do not exist because someone being born so long ago and not being dead would raise suspicion. so they all fake their deaths, some of them cycle through fake identities every couple decades but that gets really tedious. so they can't legally get married but you know they had a ceremony and exchanged rings and in every other sense they are married
#mail 💌#i should come up with a tag for all seven of them but i got nothing rn#anyways THANK YOU EESHA KISSES YOU
