Alright, let’s tear into Round Two of the Red Edge Enchanted Ball fashion police—where the couture is stunning, the drama is high, and some of these looks might just send us into early retirement. Let’s begin.

🔹Petra Cromwell – Petra walked in draped in liquid ice-blue satin with strategic slashes that scream “fashion-forward” but also “did I fight a rogue chandelier on the way here?” She’s serving Greek goddess meets rebellious debutante, and honestly? The confidence sells it. The dress is giving drama, but let’s hope it doesn’t give wardrobe malfunction before the night is over. @petraxcromwell

🔹 Anastasia Hill – If this corset-style gown were any more sultry, it would have a romance novel dedicated to it. The blush satin, the very high slit, and the lace-up detailing? This dress did not come to whisper, it came to steal your man. And honestly, with that old Hollywood hair? She might just succeed. @anastasiaxhill

🔹 Noah Rodgers – A cream-colored double-breasted suit? Bold. Very I just inherited an empire but I’m too cool to care about running it. The tie gives “grandfather’s estate vibes,” but the fit is crisp, and the whole look is money. He looks like he’ll flirt with you for three minutes before disappearing to drink an expensive whiskey alone. @noahrodgers

🔹 Tanner Sommers – Sir… did you even TRY? The oversized blazer, the striped shirt, the sunglasses indoors—this is giving rich guy who stopped by the ball on the way to a bodega run. Somewhere, a stylist is crying. Somewhere else, a skater boy is taking notes. This isn’t enchanted; this is a confusing fever dream. @tannerxsommers

🔹 Melody Hastings – A champagne, one-shoulder, asymmetrical gown with subtle fringe? Oh, she’s elegant, she’s polished, she’s that girl. The sleek updo says expensive, the slit says dangerous, and the whole thing together? Perfectly balanced, like a glass of champagne poured just right. @melodyxhastings

🔹 Lucas Roden – The sheer shirt under the black suit is giving sexy 90s rockstar on a press tour, and honestly? It works. This is messy in a way that looks intentional, like he woke up 10 minutes ago but still looks better than 99% of the room. Effortless bad boy energy. @lucasxroden

🔹 Atlas Quinn – A gray suit with a white tee? A gray suit… with a white tee? This is men’s fashion at its safest—not offensive, not revolutionary, just… there. Atlas looks like a tech CEO who came to network, and we love him for it, but this is the Enchanted Ball, not a TED Talk. @atlasxquinn

🔹 Juliette Maddox – Bombshell alert! A bold, red, figure-hugging gown with a plunging neckline? Juliette is here to devour hearts and sip champagne. The blonde bob gives classic Hollywood, while the dress is pure confidence in fabric form. No notes. Just applause. @juliettexmaddox

🔹 Alejandro Fuentes – This moody, dark aesthetic is high art. The emerald green jacket, the brooding stare, the all-black ensemble—he looks like a mysterious Spanish poet who writes about heartbreak and expensive cigars. This is romance novel leading man energy at its finest. @alejandroxfuentesx

🔹 Elliot Booker – Elliot is serving black-tie perfection. The crisp, tailored tux, the bow tie, the effortless yet calculated adjustment—he looks like he’s about to host the Oscars, win an award, and save a kitten from a tree all in one night. Classic, timeless, and borderline unfair to the other men here. @elliotbooker

🔹Freya Smith – Freya said vintage Barbie meets femme fatale, and I respect the vision. The pink-and-black contrast, the structured bodice, the opera gloves—it’s giving drama, it’s giving sophistication, it’s giving “I might steal your husband, but I’ll do it elegantly.” The only thing missing? A martini glass to complete the power move. @freyaxsmithx

🔹 Lydia Brown – This gown is textured perfection. The layered ombre feather effect? The muted dusky rose-to-mauve gradient? It’s like a phoenix that rose from the ashes of a couture runway show. This is high fashion storytelling, and I fully believe Lydia is the main character in some fantasy novel where she definitely holds ancient secrets. @lydiaxbrown

🔹 Illiana Fuentes – Okay, fairy princess, but make it EXTRA. The soft pink, the gold embroidery, the ballgown-meets-high-low-hemline—Illiana is delivering regal energy with a side of “I was raised in a castle, but I like to party.” This dress is whimsical, bold, and giving Disney Princess who just took control of her kingdom—and I’m obsessed. @illianafuentes

The fashion stakes are getting higher, and I need to know who’s going to snatch the crown for best dressed before this night is over.

[rededgecitycouncil]

Hello residents! It’s us, your favorite gossipers and we’re here to bring you some long awaited news! So enjoy and remember, it's up to you to know if this week's bulletin is true or false.

Jasmine Harris – Starlet or Scene-Stealer? Jasmine Harris may be shining on-screen, but behind the scenes, whispers say her relationship with Caleb Peace is anything but peaceful. Could this Pirate’s Cove actress be juggling drama on and off set? @jasminexharris

Freya Smith – Accountant or Financial Whisperer? Freya Smith may seem like your average numbers whiz, but her late-night meetings with high-profile clients in Wave’s End are raising eyebrows. Is she just crunching numbers or handling secrets worth a fortune? @freyaxsmithx

Pogue O’Connor – Falcon Haven’s Brooder with a Mystery? Pogue O’Connor is the quiet ex-marine mechanic who keeps to himself—or so we thought. Rumor has it, someone from his past has been visiting him, and it’s not about car trouble. @poguexoconnor

Jayce King – CEO or Puppet Master? Jayce King’s Pirate’s Cove mansion screams power, but sources say his “undisclosed business” might not be as squeaky clean as it seems. Is he keeping secrets from wife Sloane Ross, or is she in on the game? @tfjayceking

Anastasia Hill – Sugar Baby or Power Player? Anastasia Hill is living the luxe life with Lucas Roden, but sources say she’s been seen meeting another wealthy Pirate’s Cove resident on the sly. Is she trading up or playing a game no one’s ready for? @anastasiaxhill

Lana Rodgers – Perfect Mom or Pirate’s Cove’s Next Big Scandal? Lana Rodgers’ family vlog paints the picture-perfect life, but behind the lens, neighbors say she’s been overheard arguing with Noah about more than just screen time. Could Red Edge’s “perfect mom” be hiding cracks in her curated reality? @lanalastingluv

The Water Outlaws by S. L. Huang

Mountain outlaws on the margins of society, the Bandits of Liangshan proclaim a belief in justice—for women, for the downtrodden, for progressive thinkers a corrupt Empire would imprison or destroy. They’re also murderers, thieves, smugglers, and cutthroats. Together, they could bring down an empire. 

Now available in paperback!

Somewhere Beyond the Sea by TJ Klune

The long-awaited sequel to The House in the Cerulean Sea is a story of resistance, lovingly told, about the daunting experience of fighting for the life you want to live and doing the work to keep it. Welcome back to Marsyas Island—home to six magical and purportedly dangerous children. This is Arthur’s story.

The West Passage by @jpechacek

When the Guardian of the West Passage dies in her bed, the women of Grey Tower feed her to the crows and go back to their chores. No successor is named, and no hand takes up the fallen blade, so the West Passage—the ancient byways of the beast—goes unguarded. This is a weird and delightful journey across a deliriously medieval landscape where decay thrives in abundance and giant Ladies rule a palace the size of a city. 

Blood Debts by Terry J. Benton-Walker

On the thirtieth anniversary of the largest magical massacre in New Orleans history, Clement and Cristina Trudeau mourn their father and care for their sick mother. But their mother isn’t sick, they learn: She’s cursed. Cursed by a member of the same magic council over which she used to preside. Cursed by someone who will come for Clement and Cristina next. 

Now available in paperback!

Bury Your Gays by @drchucktingle

After so many years, Misha’s big Oscar moment is here. All he has to do? Kill off the gay characters in his long-running streaming series, “for the algorithm.” Misha refuses, but that’s hardly the end, because monsters from his old horror movie days have begun to step out from the silver screen and stalk him. 

The Brides of High Hill by Nghi Vo

The Cleric Chih accompanies a young bride to her wedding to Lord Guo, the aging ruler of a crumbling estate, but amid the elaborate courtesies and extravagant banquets, they realize something haunts the shadowed halls.

Remedial Magic by Melissa Marr

1) An unassuming librarian falls in love with a powerful witch. 

2) Previous librarian discovers she too is a witch…

3) …and that she must attend magical community college to learn how to save her new world from annihilation. 

Swordcrossed by @fahye

Part-time con artist / full-time charming menace Luca Piere didn’t expect to get blackmailed into teaching a chronically responsible merchant Matti how to wield a sword. He also didn’t expect to find his charge so inconveniently handsome, or to get so entangled in his tale of intrigue, sabotage, and matrimony. 

It’s important to read Swordcrossed because while you’re reading gay fiction, you can also study the blade.

I got three likes which means ANALYSIS TIME For those who are unaware, Disney released a Z-O-M-B-I-E-S 4 Dawn of the Vampires Teaser Trailer today which you can view here in reference for the rest of this post:

Analysis/Ramblings under the cut :)

First, we know that this is set after their first year in college so I'm curious to know where they decided to vacation to? I'm not sure about Zed's finacial situation (I'm assuming the exceptional student application was some sort of scholarship) but hopefully now that zombies have integrated more with society, Zevon is making a much more reasonable wage.

Next up we HAVE to talk about Addison's hair. It's beautiful, I'm obsessed with how she has it styled, and it looks very similar to her Re-animated design. The blue is a slightly darker shade than in the cartoon but I think it's gorgeous. I don't have the mental capacity to figure out a reasoning as for why her hair can be a blend between the colors so I'm just gonna go with the "she's half human and now that her alien powers have been awaken she can change her white hair" because we love retcon and it's a DCOM Camp Rayburn is an INSANE name btw. Like if you have both daywalkers and vampires, the fact that "ray" as in sunlight ray and "burn" as in oh my god these guys are gonna literally catch on fire in the sun clearly shows who's favorited at the camp. However, if this was created how I think it was (aka Meg said 'what about Camp Rock' and the director said 'YES') then it's possible it will be two separate camps. Just leaves the question if Rayburn is for the vamps or the daywalkers. Probably the name for both but always a possibility.

THE FACT THAT THEY'RE CAMP COUNSELORS IS SO INSANE TO ME IDK. I never watched later seasons of Bunk'd so I'm unaware how much focus on camp counselors there actually was (in comparison to campers) but I'll be so interesting to see this dynamic. As someone who went to sleepaway camp, has been a camp counselor, and had parents who met each other while being camp counselors, this dynamic holds a really special place in my heart. That being said, Eliza and Willa do NOT strike me as the counelor types. I can see Willa more than Eliza as she's the leader of her pack so she has to have some sort of nurturing aspect to her. Eliza however does not give counselor vibes to me, but maybe since they're clearly working with older and not younger kids, it will be okay. I could probably type up a whole thing about how I think Eliza's character would be an interesting fit for this though so I'm cutting myself off here. Speaking of Willa, who is looking after the pack in her absence? Is that the explained away detail for why Pierce (Wyatt) isn't in the movie? Going back to my Camp Rock theory, the "prepare for battle" that's seen in the trailer really makes me hope its a dance battle and that it will be to some epic song. I cannot wait for this soundtrack. We do get a little snippet of one of the new songs which is fun, and I'm so glad this is going to be released in July before my tickets to the Worlds Collide tour! That way I'll be able to listen to the soundtrack a bunch and learn the songs before I see them performed. Don't hate me for this, but Freya's character in this shot is giving Jojo Siwa

Like it's for sure the hair but I can't see anything else.

MY BABY IS SCARED ITS OKAY HE'LL BE OKAY <3333 Next:

Is this a vampire version of the moonstone? It looks different enough from the wolves' stone that I can assume it isn't, but I was hoping the vampires would have a different origin story. This kind of makes it seem like they're just recycling old ideas to fit a new narrative and I don't love that. I'll have to rewatch Vanna's arc in Moonstone Mystery to see if they retconned anything from that but idk, this to me just feels kinda cheap.

The neon signs are giving nightlife to me which is super fun and a great choice on the designer's part. I'm so intersted in seeing everything plays out if the vampires can't be in the sun, especially due to the fact that in the trailer we see them in the sun multiple times. So what sets them apart from the daylighters? Can they walk in the sun if they have their version of the moonstone? (I just realized it's probably called the sunstone. I take back what I said earlier, if there's a moonstone, there's probably also a sunstone. This makes sense.)

Firstly, the set looks very similar to the one in Bunk'd or maybe even S3 of HSMTMTS (which Meg was also a couneslor for). I'd be curious to know if any of them were filmed on the same set. I do really enjoy that the vampires and daywalkers have the same central color (red) with black and white being what separates them. Although it looks like the daywalkers also have yellow in their design which is very cool (we love when the sun is reflected into characters who can walk in the sun). I need to go in and analyze Victor and Nova's designs further to see if they have any other elements to them. Speaking of which, I think Nova is one of the first live-action characters who's name doesnt fit into the conventional Zombies naming scheme. If you didn't know Zombies all have Z's in their name, Alien's A, Werewolves W, etc. Vampires, like Victor and Vanna, have a V. Nova is a celestial word which could make sense as she can walk in the sun, but I do miss the simplistic fact of the names and I kinda wish her name started with a D for Daywalker.

Wondering too if this is their first meeting or if they're longtime enemies. Freya and Malachai seem to be the unoffical replacements for Zeddison (sad :( ) but if this is their first meeting it's very similar to Zeddison's in the Zombie saferoom with the punches. Maybe their gag will be pulling out daggers instead lmao.

Overall, I'm very excited for this movie and I thought the teaser trailer was just enough to get me back into that Zombies mood without spoiling too much. Leaves me with so many questions but also a bunch of excitement.

Sink or ship

Freya and Klaus

Now that’s a duo I never saw coming—Klaus with his boyish charm and smoldering “I’m dangerous but maybe I’ll save a kitten” energy, paired with Freya, our favorite blonde bombshell who could probably talk her way into a private island if she wanted. WOW. Honestly, I think they'd be an interesting couple, so ship. @freyaxsmithx @klausxrichards

how do i move forward with my pratice? (question)

being autistic i'm always thinking im meant to do my religions in a 'certain' way, that theres this scrict set of rules and things to do and that i have to follow them, and without this set of rules and things to do i feel stuck? like how am i supposed to move forward, do i actually know what i want from working with these gods or do i just like the idea of it because it makes me happy?

i pray to the deities i work with weekly, and try to do weekly. i'm planning planning my pratice each month, ex: i'll do _type of offering_ on these days, i'll do this in my routine as an act for _god_ etc. but im honestly 'scared' that im not doing these things right, or im doing something wrong, which i know you cant really do, but its still there? like how do i move forward with my pratice with the gods, i pray to them (yet to write my own prayers), i give them offerings, i have a dedicated altar to 2/3 and the last (freya) only a candle as i am waiting till i get more stuff for my planned freya altar, i talk with my deities, i sometimes ask them for advice but honestly? what do i ask them for.
