I do not know if you have answered this before, nothing is findable on this hellsite.

The question: Are you ok with us collecting & printing your stories For Ourselves to read whenever independent from internet access or whatev, or are you making money from (some?) of them, and if it happens to be the later, where do we find them to buy them?

Hope you have a lovely day & weekend, been binging through your pinned posted on n off these past weeks ^_^

I;m so flattered by people printing out my work for personal use! That is absolutely okay (although if by fate we ever meet, you'd HAVE to show me)

I have a few collections for sale (read 2) under the name Catelyn Winona, but they are by no means all encompassing of what I've written. When I do publish something in the future, I promise I'll make a whole post about it!

The best way to support me is through my Patreon (x), but overall I'm thrilled that people read my work! If being a patron or buying a book isn't in the budget, please know that I am so grateful that people are reading my stories :)

Thanks for the well wishes! I hope you have a wonderful weekend as well :)

Okay so. The New Beetlejuice Movie.

I have thoughts about Lydia and Beetz, and how Beetlejuice's feelings developed for her.

Yes. I ship them. I don't think I've come out and said it yet, but yeah I'm one of those. Block me if it bothers you. Winona and Micheal ship it, too. For the record.

Analysis under the cut

Okay folks. So, I don't believe for a second that Beetlejuice loved her in the first movie. He doesn't know her, barely interacts with her, doesn't care about her outside of having a means to an end. You can see this in how he treats the wedding, too. He rushes it and does everything in his power to stop everyone from saying his name. I don't even think they had a cake?

Now, this isn't to say he isn't intrigued by Lydia.

"I think I could get along with Edgar Allen Poe's daughter, she gets me."

Let's be real, though. He's a scumbag and a sex pest in the first movie.

This is in stark contrast to the sequel. He calls Lydia the love of his life, keeps a photo of her on his desk, fulfills all his promises to her, helps her get revenge on Rory *after* making him tell the truth about his motivations, and the DANCE SEQUENCE?? If his goal was just to escape the Netherworld, he'd have rushed the wedding vows and gotten it over with as quick as possible. And considering he has *more* motivation to get out than the first movie-- Delores coming to kill him, for real, permenantly-- that makes the second wedding even more romantic. He is down BAD bad.

So, how did we get here?

That's what I've been puzzling over for past couple days. I think it has something to do with the psychic connection Beetlejuice mentions to Bob.

@herefortheships has an excellent post that helped fill in the "why" of the psychic connection. Lydia can see all kinds of ghosts. What makes Beetlejuice different?

It's because they almost completed the wedding in the first movie. Sure, Lydia never said "I do", but they were almost there, and with this marriage ceremony being so powerful as to bring the dead back to life, even an interrupted wedding forms a link between them. Beetlejuice being such a powerhouse himself, and Lydia being naturally psychic, probably strengthens it. The closest comparsion I'd make is never closing out with a Ouija board. A very powerful, horny Ouija board.

So, this gives Beetlejuice a chance to get to know Lydia over the years. He watches her grow up, with a set of ghost parents no less. He sees her powers strengthen, and how she goes on to start a show utilizing her gift. I wonder if the show inspired Beetlejuice to start his own business?

She becomes a wife, a mother, a fully rounded adult who never loses her adoration of the macabre. I think he sees what he originally saw in Delores, and it ignites something, for lack of a better term, long-dead within him. Lydia is a much better person than Delores, too, and Beetlejuice knows that. After all, she originally agreed to marry him to save her (already dead) friends.

No wonder he's fucking smack dizzy in love. He softens, becomes a marginally more respectable person. Keeping a picture of teenage Lydia on his desk is objectively creepy, but that's also when he saw her in person last, so it makes sense.

Something else I noticed, and this kind of a tangent, but it's interesting.

He only started appearing to her again recently. Like, she'd felt him around the corners, but it's only around the start of the film that he tries to actively get her attention. I have a theory as to why. In part, he wanted to make himself better for her before making a grand entrance (reputable businessman and all), but there's something else that's more obvious.

Rory. He knows Rory's bad news, and I wouldn't be surprised if he used his connection with Lydia to spy on him. Beetlejuice probably knew he was planning to marry Lydia for her money soon. Now, he couldn't talk to her properly due to her blatantly trying to push him out, but he could still be loudly present.

Notice how when Rory summons him, Beetlejuice presents as a relationship counselor. He even says "I think there's an enabler here, but we'll talk about that later," which I think is because he wants Rory to know he sees through the emotionally manipulative bullshit.

I think he also knows Lydia was not going to believe him if he said Rory was a creep. I mean, why would she? Beetlejuice bides his time with gross out gags and other typical Beetlejuice antics. It's only after he's proven himself honest enough to stay true to his word by saving Astrid and sending her boyfriend to hell that he gives Rory the truth syrum.

He's really, really grown to genuinely love Lydia, way more than he ever loved Delores I'd say, and it's because he's fallen in love with the woman he got to watch her become.

[lirarey]

Okay, I looked up the height difference between Winona Ryder and Michael Keaton... It's about 14 cm (~5,5 inches). This means that Beetlejuice is about half a head taller than Lydia. And I imagined cute headcanons.

Of course, when kissing you can just lean in/extend your neck, but that's too easy. But what about "Spider-Man Kiss"? Imagine Lydia going about her daily business with Beetlejuice following her around, constantly teasing her. At one point she can't take it anymore and throws her head back, dreaming of at least hitting him. And it turns out to be as close as possible to his face. Beetlejuice sees Astrid passing by, gives Lydia a quick kiss, and flies off into the air laughing. Astrid shakes her head, smiling involuntarily. Lydia can't help but smile, too.

You know that situation when you can't reach the top shelf? Beetlejuice is always ready to help Lydia and just lift her up, but she doesn't agree because Beetlejuice really likes to bury his nose in her neck and not let go. I don't know, but for some reason it seems to me that he really loves hugs.

Oh yeah, hugs. I don't remember if it was canon that ghosts themselves are cold? Because at this point Beetlejuice likes to warm up with her hugs. Sometimes Lydia has moments of fatigue when she just doesn't know what to do next. At first, Beetlejuice tries to amuse her with all sorts of jokes (okay, throwing Rory's things off the balcony was funny), but if that doesn't help, he snaps his fingers. A soft chair appears... and a bunch of flying candles in the shape of Beetlejuice himself. Okay, I think I overdid it. BUT IMAGINE HER SITTING AND HIS HEAD LAYING ON HER SHOULDER. Sorry, I love fluff too much and I'm afraid of misinterpreting the characters-

And a few more thoughts without reference to height. Astrid often jokingly refers to Beetlejuice as her stepfather, mentioning that they're quite similar. For a long time, Lydia couldn't imagine herself with him even as a couple, but Beetlejuice's concern for Astrid helped her change her mind. In the end, they made a pretty good family.

Beetlejuice would probably like to live a little longer. It's not my idea, but he could marry Lydia so he can become human and grow old with her. Lydia definitely won't believe that he's willing to lose everything he had in the Afterlife.

[readordiebyemilyt]

My original idea was to watch a movie for every letter of the alphabet this Halloween season, but now I intend to copy my friend Monica and watch 31 films in October. Here are the movies I've watched so far:

Alien: It's been long enough since I first saw this movie that I somehow had it in my head that Harry Dean Stanton was the first to die. Nope: it's John Hurt! Also, I love that in the 3rd act, the crew of the Nostromo has a 50/50 chance of being jump-scared by either Jonesy the cat OR the xenomorph.

The Beast of Yucca Flats: Not a horror movie exactly, though it certainly explores fears at the heart of the nuclear age. MST3K gets it right: yes, "shoot first, ask questions later" is a scary way to conduct yourself, whether you're hunting a man or making a movie.

Creature from the Black Lagoon: This film turned 70 this year, and sure, it shows its age at times. But the music (IMO) is a wonderful precursor to the Jaws theme, and the creature costume remains a great practical effect.

Bram Stoker's Dracula: Very stylish and overall bonkers, but way more faithful to the novel than I was expecting. Keanu Reeves (a year after Point Break!), oh hey, it's Cary Elwes, and Anthony Hopkins as Van Helsing! And yes, Gary Oldman is by turns frightening (the scenes with his shadow moving without him in his castle are especially creepy) and seductive, but Winona Ryder steals the show: she should get a sword in more movies.

The Exorcist: This is maybe the third time I've seen this movie, and every time, I'm okay until the scene where Regan walks backwards on her hands down the stairs. Even the possession scene at the end isn't as unsettling. Having said that though, I was less unnerved this time, and all I can think is that I wish reality didn't disturb me more than scary movies.

Future War: Again, not exactly horror, but Mike and the bots are trapped by aspiring Mad Scientist Pearl Forrester (or did she have her license by this point in the original series?), and the forced perspective dinos are fun. (Frankenstein is great, but I want to alternate between Universal Horror and other scary movies; plus, the delightful serial killer body swap film Freaky was checked out from the library, so here we are.) Also, Daniel Bernhardt has been in a lot of actual good movies at this point.

A Girl Walks Home Alone At Night: An Iranian vampire film in beautiful black and white. This one is both haunting (vampirism parallels the way that drug addiction and extracting oil from the earth consumes lives and nations) and delightful. Two words: skateboarding vampire.

House on Haunted Hill: Thank you, Vincent Price, for your skills with that skeleton marionette. This is one of the silliest horror movies ever made, and I love it very much.

[aviculor]

Oh, I do not like Lydia dating her producer, or her producer being abusive and throwing her prescription meds in the trash.

DANNY DEVITO!?

"HORNY HANDYMAN"!?

Well, damn. I guess Beej's Bio-Exorcism actually is a real business that ghosts hire him for. It always felt like more of a side hustle at best. Or even just some bit he was doing in order to manipulate the Maitlands.

As an aside, I'm looking up Monica Bellucci and she was the girl who got assaulted in Irreversible. I can't escape that movie.

No, not the Beetlejuice backstory! He's supposed to be an ageless entity who might never have been human to begin with!

Proposing to Lydia during her dad's wake in front of a huge crowd, everyone is appalled including Lydia herself. This man is earning one hell of a death.

Is there any real purpose to Lydia wearing what's essentially her schoolgirl outfit? We really could be expanding her wardrobe a little more, I liked the Morticia Addams dress she wore on the TV set. Some of you might not want to hear this, but we are losing out on huge goth mommy potential.

I did get a spoiler on TVTropes that Astrid's quirky little meet cute boyfriend is a ghost. To be honest, I feel like this is the weakest plotline. It's like there was this entire story happened offscreen and we're just seeing the aftermath of it and left to collect scraps of context. And I say this knowing full well thanks to another spoiler that Delores hunting down Beetlejuice goes nowhere. That's simply how uninvested I am in Jenna Ortega being a 'teenager' whose personality is "ugh my weird mom SUCKS I wish my family was NORMAL". What do you get when someone is countering the culture of someone who's already counter-culture?

Okay, well, they did just canonize that the sandworms are supernatural beings and not just aliens that live on Saturn/Titan.

Oh, I thought for sure Astrid was going to be the one to say his name three times.

That's not how you ship snakes, those are CG rainbow boas and not asps, defanging a snake is animal abuse, anything else wrong with this scene?

Lydia is being manipulated, Astrid is being manipulated...Jesus Christ. You know, I think it would have made the plot a little tidier if Jeremy was actually BJ in disguise doing the same plan he tried with Lydia but smarter. Speaking of which, it's definitely a bit unwelcome the Juice seems to have evolved the bit into an actual attraction towards Lydia.

Well, as much as I love Winona Ryder as Lydia Deetz and Michael Keaton as Betel "BJ" geuse, I have to admit this film did not offer much except for the vibes. Luckily, that was basically all I was expecting from it.

So Rory got eaten by the sandworm, right? According to the page in the handbook which I paused because I knew it would be a freeze-frame bonus, a human getting eaten by one causes them to live as a million tiny particles in the afterlife. Which doesn't exactly sound like a pleasant existence. Fuck that guy.

[dukeoftheblackstar]

For some reason I thought “DANCE PARTY WITH PLO!” Plo just likes to dance around for fun in his quarters. Sometimes the other Jedi masters come and join him for a dance

Babe. You made a grave mistake of sending Plo-related asks in my inbox because now you have to suffer from me rambling like the smitten idiot that I am for my gorgeous Kel Dor King ♥

So I love dancing as much as I love music. Do I think Plo dances in his quarters?

But babe, they can't join him in his private quarters because (1) Plo is quite the private-type. As much as he trusts and would have no qualms allowing friends in his quarters, it's a bit too personal. Maybe only a few and not all. Plus, I imagine his room is (2) constantly pumping Dorin gas so he can just plop down on his bed when he's tired ♥.

Your favorite old man takes naps. Trust me on this.

This would also (3) help him not require to acclimate. Given that he should be able to just pull his mask off and take a deep breath, unclipping his mask would entail a few seconds of the filter mechanism would release oxygen in mid-conversion or something similar of acclimation, really. Please don't let me go through the Science of this, it's 5 AM from where I'm from and I just wanna cuddle this Kel Dor God of mine ♥

SO....

The Wolves Den is what I HC as the 104th's main hub where the Wolfpack hangs, resides, has their own designated 'barracks', sleeps, — like a 104th dedicated wing. This is also where Plo's sealed quarters would be.

In line with your ask, this is also part-time dance floor.

Plo would most likely dance to the tune of old songs. Maybe do a waltz, a tango or two with anyone (EXCEPT SHAAK TI BECAUSE I HAVE TRAUMA ON THIS, OKAY?)

I also HC that the 104th dance on a daily basis.

I can't find my post now so I'm copy pasting my conversation with my bestie @saengak ♥

So I'm a fan of the basement gang and idk why but i always, when this specific reel comes up i feel like these be the boys: Sinker, Boost, Comet and Warthog (providing the tunes) reaction upon discovering some Kel Dor native songs and Wolffe just bobbing his head somewhere

And Wolffe gets the biggest headache of his life on a daily basis ♥

BUT JEDIS DANCING?!

So Plo and Qui-Gon are besties ♥ Bet you they turn shit up dancing. Qui-Gon with some trance-like music that Plo just squints at him but goes along.

Seeing as most of the Jedis are old, I bet you they do the twist. Do the fucking twist, man. Like I can't. 🤣🤣🤣

SO YES. PLEASE IMAGINE PLO AND YODA ALONG WITH ALL THE OLD MOOT LIKE KI-ADI MUNDI DOING THE TWIST BECAUSE I CAN'T BE IN THIS MESS ALONE.

Mother Shaak Ti as (Cher), Luminara and Aayla as Winona and Christina ♥

And for the hilarity of it all, Kit Fisto really working himself with Right Said Fred.

And yes, Plo supporting this foolishness by pulling Kit's shirt because Kit had been pestering him to be in this foolishness of his dance number ♥ Mace just shaking his head and bopping ♥

Lope:Ah, yeah- our recording devices still seem to be picking up noise from all facilities properly, our temporary one included. So, the prisoners are being recorded as they should be. I heard one facility had sprinkler issues? We're lucky that didn't damage any equipment but- Huh, management really should stop sending cottontails to do a hare’s job. Well at least everything’s still good- Oh, they've been up for a minute now haven't they? I'm late and the profiles weren't up in time. Stop the complaining. I did say I'd be testing things on top of running this Milgram. The transcripts of what has transpired will be up later.

005 - Nell Newell

Place of Birth: Winona, Minnesota

Date of Birth: 11/11/2011

Age: 12

Ethnicity: African American/Caucasian

This one’s a bit of a strange case. He’s very relaxed in these circumstances and walks around as if this place were his own house. I haven’t really figured out what gets to them yet. He mentioned something about some time offline doing him some good. A decent cook for someone that age. His mannerisms make him come off like an old man. Maybe he was raised by older people. That sometimes happens, doesn’t it? Might have picked up the mannerisms from them.

Prisoner Color: #757D42

Permanent Record

Nell has perfect grades with 4.0 GPA. However, his attitude is rather perplexing for a child of his age. He complains about leg pain, the school chairs being uncomfortable on his back and the teacher writing too small on the board. His vision and physical health are good. We don’t understand why he’s behaving this way. We thought he was joking at the beginning of the year, but it’s persisted.

We assumed he had grandparents he was imitating but his mother says his grandparents passed away before he was born. It’s not as though it’s a large issue but it certainly isolates him from his peers. It is recommended that communication counseling continue for the rest of his middle school years until we’re able to help him out of this period he seems set in.

Nell: …

Worker: Hm? Are you- Perhaps interested in volunteering?

Nell: Yes. I would like to if that’s okay.

Worker: Oh, that’s perfect I’m sure they’ll love you! I never thought a kid your age would be interested in things like this.

Nell: …

To the Newells,

Nell has been a great help! He seems to be enjoying his time volunteering greatly. Thank you for giving him your permission to volunteer his time after school.

Sincerely,

XXXXX

Ms.Newell: Where have you been all this time.

Nell: Library. I walk over to it after school closes.

Ms.Newell: You know when you answer so quickly and in depth like that it comes off like a practiced response.

Nell: . . .

Ms.Newell: They still haven’t taught you how to speak in natural way at that school… What point is there in me having you go there then?

Nell: Education is important. You said so.

Ms.Newell: Education can only get you so far being a decent communicator is important to. People need workers that seem personable.

Nell: I’ll work on it more.

Ms.Newell: Well if you’re good looking enough when you’re older you’ll just have to stand around and saying nothing. If you can’t be personable the next best thing to be is attractive! It’s not a full dead end so chin up.

Nell: . . . Thanks for the encouraging words.

Ms.Newell: What do we do when we thank someone?

Nell: Smile…

Ms.Newell: . . .

Nell: Thanks.

Ms.Newell: That’s better! That’s my baby boy, great job!

Ranking the Alien and Predator movies as I watch them for the first time.

Okay, before I start I just want to explain again that for years I've tried to get into the Alien movies, I've seen the first bit of Alien a few times when I've tried to watch them and I have seen all of Aliens but don't really remember it. I also watched Alien vs Predator a while ago and absolutely loved it. I'm also pretty sure I've seen the first bit of Predator maybe two times but never finished it, I've also seen Prey when It came out and really enjoyed that. So with the new Alien film coming out, and it looks SO GOOD! I thought I would actually sit down and properly watch the movies, and of course the Predator movies too. So enjoy!

Alien (1979) - The OG! Im sure if I saw this when it first came out it would have been an experience, unfortunately I wasn't alive then so, but I can very much appreciate the impact it had on audiences. A very good introduction to Ripley, and it was so nice to see John Hurt!! (Merlin OG here) Also Jonesy, I love you.

Aliens (1986) - Fav! I don't even have to finish the others, this is my favorite one. HICKS I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. It was just incredible and I can't even tell you why, wait yes I can! HICKS FLIRTING WITH RIPLEY. Justice for this little family! we should of had Ripley, Newt and Hicks as a little family unit going around a killing Aliens. We were ROBBED. Also the start of Bill Paxton cameos.

Predator (1987) - Amazing, very suspenseful and just a very good introduction to the Yautja. I also think the scenery and them being in a jungle was a very good choice, especially with the whole camouflage. Got very attached to Billy though which was a mistake, I mean I knew he was going to die but still was very upset when he actually died.

Predator 2 (1990) - Okay, let's get the good things out of the way first, Bill Paxton cameo part 2, he was so good! I wonder how he felt knowing he was one of only two actors to be killed by a Xenomorph, a Yautja and Terminator. Other than that this was terrible, I found it so hard to finish, I don;t know why but the atmosphere that was in the first one just wasn't here.

Alien 3 (1992) - What the actual hell was this?? First Killing Hicks and Newt, like??? HOW DARE YOU. But this movie just wasn't it. I will now refuse to acknowledge this movie exists. I was however surprised and felt quite sad about finding out about Ripley gaining an Alien in her chest during hypersleep and then killing herself so that the company couldn't have it.

Alien: Resurrection: (1997) - Just going to say this now, I don't know how I feel about the whole thing of Ripley being cloned, I felt it really took away from her sacrifice in Alien 3, But on the other hand Creepy Clone Ripley did grow on me. WINONA RYDER?! I love Call so much, I did not see that coming! I was so upset when she got shot. Also! (Robin Hood Prince of Thieves here!) Hi Michael Wincott! nice to see you again. Not going to lie, however I feel about the Cloning I did really enjoy this one, and was please to see it brought back some hope for me after Alien 3. Also the new Alien that came out of the queen, giving everyone puppy dog eyes and then just attacking them pahahha! Amazing.

Alien vs Predator (2004) - Now this is the movie that I remember seeing and loving and rewatching it just proved that I still loved it, The whole hidden pyramid was so interesting, and I'm really glad they did it like that. Not really much to say, I just really like this one.

AVPR: Alien vs Predator - Requiem: (2007) - I honestly don't remember most of this, not going to lie. Safe to say I didn't like it.

Predators: (2010) - Started to watch this but turned it off, I think i'm just going to stick with Predator, Alien vs Predator and prey.

Prometheus: (2012) - I did like this one! it was very different from the other Alien movies, wouldn't say it was one of my favs though.

Alien: Covenant: (2017) - This one unfortunately is going to the bottom of the list, did not like it at all.

Alien: Romulus: (2024) - ABSOLUTELY LOVED THIS FILM. I really need to rewatch it but my god it was good! it very much felt like aliens did and i love that!

All in all I think the ones I will rewatch many times are Aliens, Alien; resurrection (I'll overlook the Ripley clone thing) and Alien; Romulus. Most definitely Aliens because Hicks I love you and I haven't stopped thinking about you! Also Joansey was the best character.

[akwardlyuncool]

So the other day I wrote down some of my feelings about Warped Tour coming back and essentially thought it was going to play into the already existing exploitation of nostalgia for us "Elder Emos." Although I do still think all that is for the most part true based on the state of the scene right now, after hearing more words about the comeback, I figured it's probably not gonna be all bad.

My overall hope is that we get something worth it, accessible and authentic. It will take time for all of that to be actualized, but again here's to hoping. That being said as I wrote that piece, I had this thought that fun was also okay and that dreaming up a lineup would also make me kinda happy too.

So here's another Akward Playlist for the books, where I share a mix of veterans, new kids in the parking lot and overall 30 bands/artists I'd love to see for the 30th anniversary of the Punk Rock Summer Camp.

SPOTIFY LINK

.

I've also made a handy dandy breakdown of it all and ordered it similar to how Warped Tour is rolling out their official list, by starting with the New Kids and Local Stuff, to highlight them first!

Note: I know I have artists who've said they'd never play another Warped Tour again or have pushed back on the feasible-ness/accessibility of the "tour" coming back, but again this is just me playing around, I don't know if Lyman (the inventor of Warped Tour) has become a better person since 2018 or not. Although I tried to be a little more realistic, these are just low-key fantasies, cause I'm not going lol.

Whether you're going or not, who would you like to see?

Okay, saw Beetlejuice Beetlejuice last night, and overall, I would say it was a worthy followup to the original! Catherine O'Hara and Winona Ryder were really great and do I even need to say anything about Michael Keaton? I mean really? He was awesome and it was great to see live action BJ back!

The new characters were great and blended in very well with the old. I was surprised to see this sequel going a little darker (I mean I don't know if they would have done something like the story of Astrid's love interest in the first movie and it was just great. I really want to see close-ups of the guy's parents so I can take in their looks. I love seeing ghost designs in stuff like this.) On that same note, some interesting new ghost designs in the afterlife waiting room. The cat lady is gonna stick with me I think. Even though the cats are obviously fake the design of the rest of it makes up for that when it comes to the creep factor.

Delia's ending surprised me and it didn't. Like it surprised me that it happened but it was the most HER thing that I was like "Yep, this works." And I love it.

Michael and Winona still worked really well together so BJ and Lydia were probably the best part of it for me (and I was very pleased about how they had Lydia and Astrid genuinely reconcile at the end instead of it just continuously being I hate you I hate you I hate you. Bringing the dad in as part of it was an excellent idea. I liked that resolution too.)

I wish they could have done more with Delores cause she had so much potential, but I suppose given her manner of death and how she put herself back together, they couldn't have her do a ton (but at the same time, Frankenstein's monster is also a bunch of pieces sewed together and he's allowed to be formidable at a level that Delores was not.

And the other big thing: I love seventies music. I do. And the whole Soul Train concept was awesome but MacArthur Park and it just didn't hit me in the same way that Day-o and the Calypso theme did in the first one. Not a major problem that wrecked the movie for me (And yay for them singing Day-o at Charles' funeral) but if the were going for the seventies theme being just as iconic as the first one's music was, it didn't quite get there.

But it's definitely one I'm going to be watching at least as much as I do its predecessor (which is a lot cause it's one of my favorite movies along with Corpse Bride.) I'd probably give it 4 out of 5 stars.

SORRY FOR UNFOLLOWING YOU FOR 2 SECONDS I MEANT TO HIT ASK LMAO

okay here’s another one… woman edition!! fuck marry kill ava, rachel, katherine. (😏) didn’t put winona cause I felt that’d be way too easy.

it's all good you and every justie everywhere can follow and unfollow and or softblock and or block unblock me forever and ever. i know the horror of accidentally unfollowing someone though i sometimes do it when i hover over their icon when trying to go to their actual blog page tumblr have a better interface 2024 challenge.

anyways. yeah smart choice leaving winona out you're real for that one lol.

ava and rachel....lord this is such a hard choice.

kill ava, i guess, just because on my first watch of the show i got bamboozled and thought she was living an outlaw queen storyline but she WASN'T and sometimes that still makes me sad even though i've grown to have a lot of respect for her actual storyline upon rewatches. also i'm sorry but i still hate her prison plotline.

fuck rachel because someone should have done it she deserves a respectful roll in the hay.

marry katherine because i'm sorry i love her too much i can't resist. that's MY poor lil meow meow y'all have fun with boyd. everything about her portrayal is my catnip this is how i want my evil ladies!! she's the only female character on justified that i'll unironically support for her true outlaw queen shit. she can put me in her purse and carry me around like a dog.
