Do you know this queer character?

Castiel is Queer and Agender or Genderfluid, and uses varying pronouns based on presentation!

main take aways from Halloween (1978) rewatch:

michael myers is canonically 21??? this bitch should be at the club

*sees tiddies* ***MURDEROUS RAMPAGE NOISES***

that's it that's the movie

outside of the fact that everyone who has sex is murdered by the narrative, this is a surprisingly chill portrayal of female sexuality? these teen girls are horny and actively enjoying Getting It On with their boytoys. no pushy boyfriends sneaking in through their bedroom windows--these ladies are taking the initiative to sneak out and GET SOME. one of them gets laid and then immediately orders her boyfriend to get her a beer. (yes she gets Slashered soon afterward, but so does the boyfriend so honestly, gender equality.) yes the Final Girl is the only one not having sex, but she's not bullied for that, nor are her friends slut shamed except possibly by being murdered by the narrative

actually the only character who is shown being morally condemned on-screen is michael myers. specifically FOR his violent overreaction to other people's sex lives. (people he is spying on). metaphorically, the villain is American Puritanism sticking its judgy nose into other people's business.

aka Michael Myers Is A Republican

but actually the real villain is the doctor. guy's a judgemental, shaming, pathologizing asshole. and he's been in charge of michael's care since he was SIX YEARS OLD? kid never had a chance. i'd go on a killing spree too

also the parents. where are the parents? it's halloween night and all the teenage girls are home babysitting their younger siblings? come to think of it, michael's first victim was his own older sister, whom he killed while she was babysitting him. teen girls are really shouldering a labour burden here. maybe parentification is the true villain

side note: mike commits his first murder wearing a clown costume...which is never referenced again? his 'iconic' costume is a generic mask and wig and jumpsuit, when we coulda had a Killer Clown Michael Myers??? travesty

i like how the Final Girl and her friend casually smoke weed in her car. yeah she's an honor student and her friend is the sheriff's daughter. yeah they smoke weed. so what it's 1978

(to reiterate, mike is 21 and should be at the club. im not saying he shouldn't be rampaging, im saying it's sad that he broke out, tasted freedom for the first time in his life, and immediately snuck back into his childhood home to go rampaging. let's have a remake where he goes to a nightclub and has a few beers. maybe some slutty dancing. then rampage)

oh no he's hot

She didn’t fully believe Kisumi. That he wouldn’t dare. Most dared. This way or another. Hardly anyone (perhaps also included her own father) seemed to believe she could be the next head of the family. And Nunnally was adamant to prove that they were w r o n g. And Kisumi – willingly or not – would help her to achieve that goal. Though probably it would be more difficult with him than she originally thought. He was less eager than she expected…? BUT WHY?

Nunnally was confused of why Kisumi had been chosen to teach (babysit) her. Some elements did fit her vision of the world, and some didn’t. Did they end up together because her father thought she needed a friend? Or quite opposite, was it a trap, and the cordial and carefree appearance and manners were just one great mystification to lure her into making mistakes? She needed to proceed with caution, if she wasn’t to end up as a bored wife of a man who was given her heritage (with her as an inherent part of it).

So, she said nothing and followed Kisumi to the garage. Where…she got introduced to the car! Yes, surely it was a sport car in a nice colour but it was still A CAR. Frankly, if asked she would hardly stutter that it was a Porsche? Or perhaps it was a Ferrari…? Or Lamborgini? It definitely wasn’t a Bentley, though.

But given how Kisumi had behaved, Nunnally figured out she should admire his car. This was ridiculous. But the love and proud in his voice was so clear that she simply didn’t feel like hurting him by showing no interests in his "partner" (though was is a game? Or was he honest?). It was ridicolous!

“How beautiful! And the colour! I have not seen anything like this…!” – she said in a voice full of admiration that wasn’t even that difficult to fake; she made herself comfortable on the passenger’s seat, and concluded she should still be excited about the car and a ride. Ask some questions?

“How fast…this baby can go?” – was that a proper was to talk about a car? Cause calling it his partner would be too much? At least not now? Nunnally had no interests in cars. Yes, she could drive, but never truly enjoyed it. And a sport car would probably be the last of her choice.

Soon they were driving outside the garage. So far Kisumi seemed like a careful driver. Was it why she finally said: --

“How about taking me for a short ride now? Just to show me what it can do.”

“I feel like seeing the sea…” – she said opening the window and catching some wind into her fingers.

“Do you have no eating and no drinking rule in this car?” – she asked laughingly being sure what the reply would be. But she was going to enjoy herself. She deserved that. 

Nunnally might have meant to tempt him but unfortunately for her Kisumi would never bend unless he was in a position which he was forced. Whatever his Uncle was scheming (and he clearly was meddling) Kisumi wanted no parts in. As much as he didn’t want to like her clearly his Uncle had seen their personalities would mesh well.

Kisumi would of course be cordial but that’s where he drew the line.

“With royalty comes the burden of responsibility. I’m not sure I’m ready to wear such a heavy crown.” Nor did he wish to be in the spotlight like that with such a sensational coupling. Being tied like that to Nunnally would need to act as a head of household in a crime syndicate family was way too much for him. He could barely keep on track of his Uncle’s duties. They were only a middle tier family within the organization.

Nunnally was a king pin.

With her threat of being well used to his fullest gave Kisumi a bit of dread. He was hoping just to do his part and be off on his merry way. Provide a little help, show he was useful but just keeping a good report. You couldn’t do your job too well and become indispensable, just good enough.

Kisumi didn’t think much of the nickname. He didn’t mean it in a demeaning way. She was a princess in the eyes of their world. She had the potential to create great waves within their community. “I wouldn’t dream of it…” he replied truthfully when addressed to not underestimate her.

A smile was brought to Kisumi’s lips, this one small and only hinted at the corner of his left side. “You don’t need to worry about me.” He insisted but glad that at least in someone’s eyes he might be deemed worthy. At least he piqued Nun’s interest.

“Come now, let’s show you something worth taking note of.” In true Kisumi form he took long strides as he lead the petite blonde to the car garage. There waiting in his parking spot was a true beauty.

His baby.

Kisumi’s pride and joy sat parked. “say hello!” He called and hit the key’s button for the car to honk and flash its’ lights in pretend greeting. A beautiful baby blue Porsche. Kisumi’s current one true love. Kisumi of course being a gentlemen went to the passenger side to open the door for Nunnally, “Please make yourself comfortable.” He insisted before rounding the car and climbing into the drivers side.

Thanks so much to all my amazing supporters that help make this comic happen! ♥

It's Back! Thank you all so much for your support of my work after my break last month! <3

I'm super happy to report that the mass the doc took out was officially declared NOT Cancer!!! Very happy about that, and also very happy that it's OUT of me! Now I just have a few more tests to see what kind of damage it left behind just by "clogging up the works" for all this time. Hopefully it will go well. I can't wait for the unknown of all this to be over with. (Not to mention praying so hard that someday, somehow, I get to be a parent after all this is over.) Thank you all so much for your kind words, patience and words of support as I took last month off. It really means a lot to know that  people care and understand. I appreciate you all very much! ( ＾◡＾)っ ♡

The Valar's mistake did not lie in seeing a possibility of good in Melkor. Rather, their mistake lay in not seeing the equal possibility of him remaining evil.

Dios apate was bad for everyone involved but in a different way. It was bad for John because there was too much foreplay (canon) it was bad for mercy because she had to take charge and put so much planning in and she's a pillow princess at heart. And it was bad for Augustine mainly because he's just had better

Vampire Mercedes lore doodles (and vampire Lorenz bullying)

"You weakened me!" By Ambessa is not a declaration of apathy! It is not her blaming Mel! It is when Mel finally learns that her mother isn't apathetic to her, that she isn't disinterested in her fate or disappointing in her, but instead she loved her too much and too deeply. That Mel threatened Ambessa with ruination, because the only way Ambessa has ever known to survive is by embracing brutality and sacrificing a peaceful death, while all Mel has ever wanted is peace. That a peaceful death would have literally meant the death of her child, back when she was still pregnant with one of them!

And Mel's disapproval of her meant that Ambessa could feel herself tumbling into a path of peace. Into a better path, maybe, but a path that for Ambessa has only ever meant death. If she could be more hardhearted, maybe she could have kept both - her family's survival, and her daughter - but alas. Her sending Mel away is not a failure on Mel's part, but in fact a failure on Ambessa's - because she could not withstand the arrows of her disapproval, now she needs to come to Piltover to collect her before whatever older enemies she has catch up with them both. She comes to Piltover to correct that mistake, to show Mel a harder heart, and yet! It's doeesn't work! Because Mel still demands of her vulnerability and she cannot help giving it to her!

Is there no greater expression of love, for her? To even contemplate opening herself up to that which is deadly, for the sake of the life and soul of her daughter? Is there nothing so undoing?
