HORROR'S NEXT TOP GENDER, ROUND THREE MATCH TWELVE: Eli (Let the Right One In) vs. Brigitte Fitzgerald (Ginger Snaps)

PROPAGANDA FOR ELI:

"Canonically AMAB and castrated as a child, presents as a girl but seems to identify as agender or something similar. Being a vampire and also eternally a child probably also affects their relationship to gender. Anyway in theory not great trans representation perhaps but I like them and hope they went on to have a happy un-life. I liked when they murdered all those bullies"

PROPAGANDA FOR BRIGITTE:

"Brigitte is flannel-wrapped,  wears more layers than a pie crust, and is completely uninterested in having a body."

"I was a death obsessed goth girl teenager and this is the representation I always wanted. Brigitte doesn’t want to hit puberty and neither did I. Every single outfit is fantastic."

This post is finding all the Buffy girlies. Good. I had Spike in mind when I made it.

Bitches be like “this is my sweet smol baby we must protecc him” and it’s a morally grey vampire who has killed hundreds, maybe thousands of people. It’s me, I’m bitches.

Interview with the Vampire (2022-) // Let the Right One In (2008)

[shelfperson]

hahahha do you ever think about how the child vampire claudia only wants to be treated with the respect a grown woman deserves and loved as the woman she is and be free in her body and how the child vampire eli only wants to be respected and safe while still seen as the child he is and loved as the child he is and to be free in his body do you ever think about girlhood as a gender distinct, youth as an underclass do you ever think ever think about being trapped in your fucking body vilified adultified sexualized but never loved and never understood do you ever think about being a fierce vampire trapped in the body of a little girl but never reaping the rewards of childhood can ANYBODY FUCKING HEAR ME IS ANYONE THERE

HORROR'S NEXT TOP GENDER, ROUND ONE MATCH TWENTY-THREE: Eli (Let the Right One In) vs. Gervatter Todd (Godfather Death [folktale])

PROPAGANDA FOR ELI:

"Canonically AMAB and castrated as a child, presents as a girl but seems to identify as agender or something similar. Being a vampire and also eternally a child probably also affects their relationship to gender. Anyway in theory not great trans representation perhaps but I like them and hope they went on to have a happy un-life. I liked when they murdered all those bullies"

PROPAGANDA FOR TODD:

"This is literally death. There’s several different versions of the story even by the Grimm brothers. In one version he kills his godson for cheating him but in the other it’s unclear if he was truly trying to spite his godson or trying to help him. The whole fairytale has an oddness to it that kinda feels haunting. Here he is straightforward a true believer in looking on everyone equally and it’s unknown if he truly cares about mortals or is just a passive participant in the lives of mortals. I’m not sure if this counts as horror as the story still predates it and other Grimm tales are actively scarier (Bluebeard the youth who went fourth to learn what fear wasor robber bridegroom and the one ghost story for example) but it’s got a very odd feeling to it that leans more towards horror than anything it’s like a page and a half long though so you may deem that for yourself"

so my sister is getting me to watch Cobra Kai while I'm visiting home, right

and look. She warned me about the love square. The old man rivalry. All that good stuff. What she did not warn me of, or rather, was not equipped to warn me of(she's never played DR), was the fact that Mondo Owada is a main fucking character
