You can still be mysterious after oversharing because everyone will be thinking “why did she just say that”

Yelena: alright Kate Bishop, you have two options here

Yelena: 1, eat the food I make you

Yelena: or 2, learn how to cook without burning the kitchen down

Kate, staring at a wiggly lump on her plate: I think I’ll burn the kitchen down thanks

Loads of people loved Dead Boy Detectives and Lockwood and Co (my beloved) and if you’ve wanted to read something that had similar vibes, I’ve got the books for you: The Undetectables and the upcoming sequel The Undead Complex (coming September 2024)!

be gay, solve crimes, take naps is our motto around here

in THE UNDETECTABLES there’s

magical forensic science

magical entomology

magical dioramas (for crime scene reconstruction)

resident ghost (in a cat costume)

sapphic yearning

witches, ghosts, trolls, vampires and faeries

chronically ill MC (fibromyalgia)

queernorm world (they put the gay into “be gay”)

a serial killer

and coming soon in THE UNDEAD COMPLEX:

zombies (and necromancers)

a tv studio revival (poorly run)

a dollhouse (mysterious)

more forensic science

more magic

even more gays

and more ghostly mayhem

Webcomic Recommendation: Nevermore ♡

Summary: "There is nothing definitive about life after death, except the involuntary enrollment at the mysterious Nevermore Academy. Now Lenore and Annabel Lee must begin their curriculum to recover the memories of their tragic demise. Between the Dean's macabre demeanor and the tell-tale dangers of Final Exams, both girls must learn to rely on one another and their newly acquired ghost forms, or Spectres, to not only graduate from the academy… but to earn a second chance at life."

ngl I might get crucified for this but I think the dunmeshi yuri/yaoi discourse was stupid and misrepresenting the ao3 factoids. as of today the most written for mlm ship is labru with 69 (nice) and the next most popular has less then half that at 31. meanwhile farcille has 125 out of the 154 F/F ships in the tag. it is by FAR the most popular ship, with the next two most written about sapphic ships being marcille/izutsumi (9) and kiki/namari (4) and also a couple of x readers? so farcille dominates by far

it seems to me that what's going on is that several mlm ships are in rotation in terms of popularity whereas farcille dominates as the singularly popular wlw ship.

and this doesnt mean that the issues people were bringing up about the general lack of sapphic content and the way fandom treats female characters aren't valid, but idk man when farcille fanart is cropping up daily and getting thousands of notes and has about twice more the amount of fics that the most popular mlm ship on ao3 has its like. I dont think this is really a fandom that proves that point.

I would like to see some more variation in smaller wlw pairs to make up the difference though! I dont think I see any tade/izutsumi fics and we need to change that they could be so cute.

Reasons I give for watching The Dragon Prince: Excellent storytelling, digs into themes like cultural appropriation, racism, genocide, xenophobia, war, political corruption, etc. disabled characters who are badass, same creators as ATLA

Reasons why I actually watch The Dragon Prince: Canon sword lesbian elf queen & her Deaf human warrior lover (also a sword lesbian)

[turtletheseriousbean]

Due to a certain recent lesbophobic incident in the Criminal Case fandom, I have decided to make this PSA to remind people that they can't strip canon LGBTQ+ characters of their identities without expecting some form of resistance. You can't put a plate of flour in front of someone and tell them it's bread while expecting them to eat it.

If you can't handle an LGBTQ+ character in the media you consume, just don't engage with it until you grow up out of that mindset.
