i’m not a “01x09 was agathario’s first kiss” truther because i think it’s so much more tragic if this is their first kiss in literally hundreds of years. aren’t you always more hungry after you’ve had a bite of food? isn’t water more appealing when you can already taste it on your tongue, from the thousands of time you’ve tasted it before? doesn’t it hurt all the more when it’s right in front of you, and you know what it’s like, you know you can satisfy your craving but— it’s just out of reach?

El Higgins and Discworld comparisons

So I've seen a couple of comparisons between El and Tiffany, and to an extent I guess I agree - they're both young female YA-ish protags who are passionate about injustice. However, I'm not convinced that El really does weaponise her selfishness into a virtue the way Tiffany does - El (at least where I'm up to) is more about being crankily selfless despite her better judgement.

Which Discworld character does that remind me of a lot more than TIffany? Prickly? Aggressively practical? Expresses concern and affection via tough love? Tall, attractive in a scary way, with a death glare that could melt steel? Perhaps a tad arrogant about her own raw ability, or at least, not precisely humble? An unreliable narrator convinced that other people hang out with her only for whatuse she is to them, and continually surprised when someone wants her for who she is? Constantly battling not to take the easy path of becoming a monster, arguably despite a world determined to paint her that way? Has a himbo boyfriend she keeps trying to push away?

Am I describing El, or Granny Weatherwax?

(PLEASE no spoilers beyond the middle of book 2/Field Day, I am aware that the boyfriend situation has different outcomes in the two cases but it's still a parallel IMO.)

The Cullens with an FTM mate

No one asked for this, but sometimes we have to be self-indulgent

Carlisle Cullen:

Carlisle would understand better than most of the Cullens

Being a doctor, he has treated several transgender patients in his time

If you want any mind of hormones or surgery, hesitate your guy

He would be fully supportive of every step of your transition

Or, if you were with him after you had finished your transition, he would be more than happy to show you off

Esme Cullen:

With Esme, it's simple, if you're happy, she's happy

She loves to see you confident more than anything

It doesn't matter if you only wear masculine clothes or if you like a full fave of makeup

She will never misgender you

And, despite being a very nice lady, she will not tolerate anyone else's bullshit

Edward Cullen:

Edward completely understands what it's like to feel out of place in your own body

He'll do his very best to make sure you're comfortable at all times

If anyone has any problems with it, he'll make sure they know that it's not gonna fly with him

He's more than happy to pay for anything you need regarding your transition

Alice Cullen:

Alice adores any sort of gender expression out of the ordinary

Think of all the outfit ideas!!

She would even create her own clothing line for trans people

She would sell top tier binders that are actually safer than most

She would love to have your help designing clothes

She would also help you with any makeup or clothes you need to feel more comfortable in your body

Jasper Hale:

Jasper knows how uncomfortable you feel sometimes

He knows how bad the disphoria can get

So he uses his power to make you feel at home and comfortable

If he senses that you feel out of place, he'll just send a wave of comfort over your way

If anyone decides they have a problem with you, you may find them on the news the next morning as a mysterious disappearance

Rosalie Hale:

Rosalie also has a complicated relationship with her gender

That's why she insists on presenting hyper-fem at all times

Her gender is where she finds her beauty, so of you don't find beauty in yours, she is completely understanding

She will happily help you with hair cuts and styles

It brings her immense joy to just see you being yourself

Emmett Cullen:

Surprisingly, Emmett is the most accepting of the group

Your gender changes nothing for him

Coming out to him is just another Tuesday

"Oh, you're a boy? Cool, you wanna play Smash Bros?

He teaches you how to have a healthy relationship with masculinity

He's more than happy to cuddle you whenever you're feeling bad about yourself

He's also more than supportive of any way you choose to express yourself

[esmeshardwoodfloors]

just...Edward resisting the lure of Bella's blood being such an obvious metaphor for the repression of sexual desire, and then you wonder why the girlies get obsessed with Carlisle Cullen, the handsome local doctor family man who has repressed his Dark Insatiable Hunger for over 300 years like come on

“what's your damage, heather?”

BUT SERIOUSLY STAGE DOOR WAS JUST AMAZINGGGG. my theatre doesn't really have a whole lot of stage doorers, but there was tonnes !!!! almost every cast member i met complimented my outfit (i was dressed as veronica !!!!) and everyone was so sweet !!!!!

MS FLEMING WAS SO FUNNY HELP ME. steve was an icon, he took his glasses off and played along cheeky fucker it was insane.

honestly everything about it was just incredible. amy's kindergarten boyfriend made me sob. i started a cheer when veronica goes “lick it up, baby, lick. it. up” and everyone followed along and started cheering too !!!! same just before shine a light, when ms fleming goes “hellooo westerburg !!!!” no one else cheered and then i went “WOOOO” and she SMILED AT ME (i was in row b so she could see me !!!)

if donnakory isn’t canon what the fuck was this

[gellavonhamster]

near dark (1987) but make it asoue

@carnivorous-horses-lover first of all, thank you for enabling me

Secondly, imagine, if you will, a small-town young man who works at his stepfather's farm. The young man's name is Fernald, and his life is pretty miserable - his attempt at an acting career in the City failed, forcing him to return to his hometown, and now he's stuck in a routine he doesn't enjoy. His relationship with his stepfather Widdershins isn't great - in part, probably, because his stepfather is a pretty miserable man too, a former sea captain now bound to live on land after sustaining injuries that made him unfit for life at sea. Nearly the only bright spot for Fernald is his teenage sister, Fiona - she's talented and smart, and surely won't become a failure like him.

One evening, as Fernald is getting drunk at the bar after a particularly angry row with his stepfather, he meets a cute and charming person called Orlando (I think this name would fit in fine in this AU - iirc, Sunny refers to the Henchperson like that at some point either in the books or in the series, and Virginia Woolf's Orlando is able to live for centuries without growing old). They hit it off right away, and damn, this might be the drink talking, but Fernald feels like he's falling in love. At the end of the night, just before sunrise, as Orlando is about to leave, he kisses them.

And then Orlando bites him. Bites him and sucks his blood.

After that, Orlando runs away without explanation, so at first, Fernald doesn't understand what has happened to him. But then the rising sun starts burning his flesh. As he's trying to hide in the shade, an RV drives up, and Orlando pulls him in. Inside, he finds a group of people all screaming at Orlando that they should kill Fernald, but then Orlando tells them that they've already turned him, and, after some discussion, the strangers inform him that they'll let him live - for now. Fernald learns that his new acquaintances are a band of vampires who roam the Land of Districts under the guise of a travelling acting troupe. The band is led by Count Olaf, a man claiming to have been an 18th century nobleman. Apart from him and Orlando, there's Olaf's girlfriend Esme, a Bald Man, two White-Faced Women, and Carmelita, a tween girl recently turned by Esme when the latter decided she wanted a daughter. They travel from town to town, kill people to feed, and occasionally steal a new vehicle and burn the old one to cover up their tracks.

The Count and the others tell Fernald that they're going to give him a probational period of sorts - he gets a week to learn to hunt, and if he doesn't, they're going to get rid of him. The problem is, Fernald can't make himself kill people. His thirst is strong and he can feel his organism starting to reject human food, but he cannot overcome his fear and disgust. Orlando helps him by hunting for him and feeding him their blood after they have fed themselves, but they tell him this cannot go on, and Fernald knows that eventually he has either to become a murderer or be murdered. In the Village of Fowl Devotees, where the vampires attack a bar, he fails to kill a local handyman and lets him escape. Everyone but Orlando is furious and wants to kill him, but then the police arrive, and Fernald risks his life to help the rest of the group escape. This pacifies the vampires, and they decide to give him more time to adjust.

Meanwhile, Widdershins and Fiona follow the trail of the vampires' rampage from town to town, hoping to catch up with Fernald and see if he can still be saved. They meet the handyman, Hector, who has seen which direction the vampires drove off to. After driving all day, they decide to stay at a motel, not knowing that Olaf's troupe is also staying there. At some point, while Widdershins isn't present, Fiona goes out of their room and runs into Carmelita. They strike a conversation, and Carmelita, happy to finally have someone her age to talk to, invites Fiona to their room. When Fiona sees her brother, she is overjoyed, but he immediately gets worried and tells her to leave. It is, however, too late: Carmelita wants a friend, and even though Olaf hates the idea, Esme is still fond enough of her toy - pardon, her child - to indulge her whims.

Luckily, Widdershins arrives and threatens the vampires with a gun. A scuffle ensures, and the whole family, including Fernald, manages to escape. For some reason, Widdershins is sure that a blood transfusion might help Fernald revert to human state. They try it, and it works.

The family returns home and wards the house against vampires ("but Stepfather, how do you even know all these things?" - "don't worry about it"), yet it turns out they've been followed. At night, Orlando comes and persuades Fernald to go out and talk to them. They try to convince Fernald to let them bite him again and go back with them, but eventually, unable to lie anymore, they break down and reveal that the other vampires made them distract him. Turns out that while they were talking, Olaf's troupe somehow broke through the protection of the house. Fernald discovers that his stepfather is grievously wounded and his sister is gone. Widdershins tells him that the vampires took Fiona away and urges Fernald to follow them. Fernald calls the ambulance for his stepfather and leaves to chase the troupe, who have by then picked up Orlando and driven away. He is attacked by the Bald Man and the White-Faced Women, but manages to defeat them.

Orlando, who is genuinely in love with Fernald, decides to risk incurring Olaf and Esme's wrath and help Fiona escape. Together they break out of the car and run towards Fernald. The sun is rising, and Orlando has to cover themselves with a jacket, because the sun keeps burning them. Furious Olaf and Esme, with Carmelita in the backseat, pursue them and attempt to run them over with their car. Fernald manages to push Fiona and Orlando away, but the car crashes into him, and he passes out.

He regains consciousness in the same small - and, honestly, shady-looking - hospital where his blood transfusion was performed. He is aching all over, and one of his hands has been amputated, but he's alive. Fiona is there, and so is his father, bruised but still standing - and Orlando, who has also been cured by a blood transfusion. Another person present, strangely, is the handyman from the Village of Fowl Devotees. He tells them that the car with the vampires exploded in the crash, but no human remains were found when the fire was extinguished. Perhaps they burned to ashes completely. Perhaps not.

Okay, says Fernald, what the hell. Why are you here? How did Stepfather know that the blood transfusions would help? What kind of hospital is this?

Widdershins and Hector share an awkward glance.

There used to be an... organization some years ago, they tell him. An organization created to battle supernatural threats. It was founded long ago by people privy to the secrets of the world. But it has been dying out for decades, and their generation was the last. Too many died, too many quit out of fear (Hector looks away, embarrassed), too many were seduced by the occult and joined the other side. But the few still remain - the ones who don't seek out the enemy actively, but still remember how to fight against it.

They call themselves volunteers.

And it seems no one can hide from what one is forever.
