"John Constantine, this is your life. Doesn't amount to much, does it? Thirty-years-worth of jumbled relics, a biography of arcane detritus-- just three misserable boxes in the corner of a petty crook's lock-up. Jesus, is it thirty years already? Must be, this is 1982. Tempus bloody fugit, eh? Hah-- Never trust anyone over thirty-- That's what Jerry Rubin said. They were a laugh, the yippies-- More fun than the bloody yuppies, anyhow. Shut up, John, you're rambling. Keep your mind on the job."

John Constantine, Hellblazer Vol. 2: The Devil You Know. "The Bloody Saint. Part One."

Propaganda

Mucous Membrane: It's the band that john constantine (from dc) was in. They disbanded after constantine accidentally released a demon that attacked the band and dragged an innocent girl to hell, because constantine had to be committed to a psychiatric ward. I think most of the members either died or became shells of themselves through various magic related incidents. They produced one song which didn't do well.

Old Gods of Asgard: Special mention for Alan Wake 2 where they have an entire sequence set to their song Herald of Darkness, please look up a video of that sequence because frankly video games peaked there, we can all go home now.

I wish DC had released Marquee Moon which would have been a Hellblazer comic set in the 70s with young punk John Constantine, then front man of Mucuous Membrane.

There used to be a free pdf of it online, but it seems to have been deleted.

Local Action

Vaccines are typically injected into an arm muscle, including those recently developed against SARS-CoV-2, the virus responsible for COVID-19. Yet coronaviruses first infect the mucous membranes in our respiratory tract, in the nose, mouth, throat and lungs. Administering vaccines intranasally, to target those frontline areas, could allow us to respond to infection faster. Nasal vaccines against SARS-CoV-2 have already been developed in India and China, but researchers are now testing a new intranasal live-attenuated vaccine, containing a modified virus. Tests in hamsters found it highly effective: very few SARS-CoV-2 particles (in brown) penetrated their nasal mucous membranes after double vaccination with the intranasal vaccine (top left) or even a combination of one intranasal dose with an existing mRNA vaccine (bottom left), compared to poor results after intramuscular vaccination only (right-hand panels). Following up these encouraging results with safety and efficacy trials in humans could provide new options for future vaccination.

First of all, let's not forget that Sting literally called the frontman for Mucous Membrane his long lost twin. (We can forget all the stuff about him maybe running a cult and all, that's none of our business.) And it does make sense on the surface, given their shared fashion sense, but it's deeper than that - a sense of spiritual interconnectedness. How rock and roll is that?

And so now I must salute you, my dear doppelganger, my unenviable avatar of the Hell realms. You have become your authentic self, you live without apology or compromise, and in this you are still my teacher. Not that you give a flying fuck, but as I said, that's just the way you were made.

But, okay, let's talk about our openly bisexual - before it was common to be out, too! - frontman, who might or might not have dabbled in dark magic, not that dark magic is real. That murder was not his fault, alright? Everyone wanted to bang him, everyone wanted to be him, and he used his platform to promote, well, the normal punk platform - this was someone who vocally hated Margaret Thatcher, supported HIV+ people, and would not let reducing women to sex objects stand. He wasn't quiet about it, either, making his stances known to the people around him and building change from the ground up where he could. (Let's all ignore the drummer turning evangelist.)

They had one of the earliest music videos produced, well before that was popular, either. It may not be the highest quality, but the imagery in it is beautiful! And the lyrics are still relevant today. Regardless of all the mystery surrounding Mucous Membrane's rise and fall, and people's obsessions with the rampant conspiracy theories, I think the music is still pretty interesting itself!

Of course, while they're best known for their single, my favorite song is actually Lovable Con-Man!

ONLY the top THREE bands from this poll will qualify! Good luck!

what are either of you guys favorite queer hcs for your favorite characters (if you have any ofc)

I have a cursed current fav queer headcanon:

I like to think Johnstantine had a massive crush on Ray Monde when he was young, and is embarrassed about it once he got older. Ray keeps gently turning young Constantine down but still takes care of him on the occasional times Constantine's homeless.

This probably isn't a popular hc but a friend of mine who I'm calling a Constantine Scholar had a similar hc so it counts now!!

okay I'm feeling almost totally better and have been fever-free for 24 hours. also I am sick to my back teeth with isolating. if this goddamn test isn't negative tomorrow I'm going to scream into a pillow on the balcony

and if I have to miss Brimfield, something inanimate is going to get punched

especially if I test negative in time to get my stupid fucking second gum graft surgery, which is going to suck especially recovering in 90-degree heat with no A/C for three days when I've already been isolating in this room for four so far, but not to have fun with my friends as a hurrah beforehand
