#she also gay and purple so a bonus for me

[evelynpr]

do you have a favorite fontaine character? 👀

Ok so like, multiple reasons I do not have a clear cut answer for this:

The thing about Fontaine is that they genuinely have such an incredible cast I legitimately cannot pick a favorite character. Like seriously this is such a hard question because so many of them are just AWESOME!!! Many are just well written, beautiful, so interesting, tragic, all of it

I am waiting for Clorinde's story quest...I have been waiting for more Clorinde content since Fontaine P1. Since her cutscenes with Navia and Wrio. I HAVE BEEN WAITING!!! I WANT MORE OF HER SO BADDDDDD BECAUSE!!! OMG!!! So far, she's had both such a serious and dutiful persona, but also she's so sweet and kinda awkward??? she also may or may not have family baggage because of her family heritage... If they do her character justice (haha) she might be one of my favorites

Ok currently the actual contenders for favorite are, like, Neuvillette and Furina. My stance on neuvifuri as a ship tho is a whole other mixed bag, but both of them individually are just so!!! YO!!! THEYRE JUST SO CHARACTER!!! Neuvillette, this beautiful, gentle, and truly dutiful dragon who learned to love humanity. Furina who's madness and goodness are what allowed her to fulfill her own duty. Man. They're both just so interesting and SILLY EVEN. Just wonderful little bbgs to mess around with.

Not to say I don't love Fontaine's other characters either. Far from it. I have not liked a character this fast ever (?) like I liked Chevreuse in just one event. Chevy is so goofy and passionate and genuine I like her a lot!!! Wrios is just. Such a cool fucking guy idk what to tell u man. He's both so chill but also godDAMN you do not mess with him. Navia!!! Such a lovely lady who's so strong, after all that she has gone through and all the responsibility she now carries!!! Truly girlidol girlslay girlboss she's incredible!!! AND OF COURSE THE TWINS AND FREMINET!!! Lyney and Lynette are such an amazing duo in their magic tricks, their agent duties, their siblinghood. Freminet is such a precious boy, please protect him he just wants to swim with the ocean creatures :<<<

Not to shade on the rest of the cast of course. Arlecchino (aside from being sexy as fuck) I'm also just waiting to see what else she actually has under her sleeve. Sigewinne and Charlotte are both nice and cute! By no means are they boring or uninteresting, just not my type, Chiori as well.

[narugen-moved]

idol!mina and her manager hoshina… OR OR idol!mina and idol!hoshina… GODDDD THE POSSIBILITIES whatever the case mina and kafka definitely auditioned together but only mina got through 😭😭😭😭 FUCK WHAT ABOUT PRODUCER HOSHINA augggggghhh

i’m going for idol x idol here:

idol!hoshina pinning after the new and upcoming rising star even though he should be kind of miffed that she overtook him on the charts bc he’s been in the industry for longer (maybe starting off as a child actor) ….. but he’s also been bedazzled by her brilliance so he isn’t even complaining… just trying to subtly get her attention as much as possible but she’s basically untouchable and OH MY GOD KAFKA BECOMING MINA’S MANAGER/BODYGUARD?!?? fending off the weirdos and kafka is like (eyebrow raise) what tye HELL do you want with MY MINA!!!! (in an older brother way) and hoshina is like Who the fuck do u think u r (pissed off) nobody’s ever seen hoshina angry before but oh kafka is met with hoshina’s attitude a LOT. okonogi (hoshina’s manager) is always on the verge of a breakdown

mina has NOOOO IDEA THIS IS EVEN HAPPENING BEHIND THE SCENES BC KAFKA ALWAYS MANAGES TO KICK HOSHINA OFF THE PREMISES LFMAOIFF but oh my god SURPRISE. mina was actually inspired by hoshina this whole time…..!!!!!!!!! and she rly REALLY likes him. goes to all his events and HAS BEEN going since she was a teen…. when she’s famous she just looks suspicious as FUCK at hoshina’s signings HELP ME

also prouder narumi who writes songs for mina because they’re #BESTIES okay and mina is like look the lyrics are cheesy but what do you think and narumi is like they’re gross as fuck. let’s do it. (supportive bestie who cringes at her GAY ASS LYRICS) bonus points if mina learns an instrument from him.

anddddd oh my god when they finally manage to speak to each other (mina finds out kafka has been RUINING HER FUCKING CHANCES and EXPLODES!!!!! kafka crode) and he goes over one day mina completely forgets about her #hoshinaroom where it’s just hoshina merch and oh my god wouldn’t it be so cute if baby mina had a pic with baby hoshina (by baby i mean like as kids maybe around 10 years old) bc her mum took her to see his play or whatever . PLEASEEEEEEWERFFKSSXOEOSOD i can’t

mina: make yourself at home (sweating buckets)

hoshina: okay! (goes exploring)

mina, when she sees him approaching The Room: WAIT NOT THERE (loudest she’s ever been)

but it’s too late because he’s opened the door and is greeted by PURPLE and his own face and she crumbles to the floor in pain

hoshina:

hoshina: erm

hoshina: (blushing furiously)

[gay-dorito-dust]

due to some Enid and Wednesday art I was spurred into watching it and if you're accepting requests (I got really excited seeing you write for it and didn't scroll down too far) could you write something where Enid meets an introverted new girl and they're just smitten with her immediately?

if someone like her came up to me and wanted to be friends I'd just. follow her sunshine to the end of the rainbow man. gay arrow to the heart. also fluffy werewolf gf is such bonus

The moment you stepped foot on school grounds, you were physically sickened with anxiety and dread, your throat closed in on itself as your stomach decided to loose all forms of appetite. You didn’t want to be here but through threats and force, your parents made you attend Nevermore in hopes of gaining a tolerable level of control over your powers that had only became a problem in recent memory. That was what they wanted you to believe but you knew about their ulterior motive of riding you from the house you cooped yourself in and actively engage with others of your age and situation.

You awkwardly stood at the entrance hall like a sitting duck, waiting to be shot, looking about the grand room that smelt as old as it looked as you waited for your poor unfortunate tour guide to arrive. Throughout the duration of your wait, You must’ve been either bored beyond belief or lost within the chaos of your mind because by the time you stopped counting the individual specs of dust that coated the picture frames along the the walls; A pretty blonde girl with the tips dyed in a kaleidoscope of colours and prettily painted nails was stood before you with a beaming smile.

How and when she had gotten there, you weren’t sure but you weren’t exactly against the idea of a really pretty blonde girl with an equally as pretty smile showing you around school. It certainly beats be lead by a pervert or someone with a penchant for passive aggressive comments in your books, so who were you to complain? “Hi!” She chirped and you immediately felt the cold crushing grip of anxiety ease up at the sound of her warm, serene voice as the tension in your shoulder muscles fell back into a relaxed state. “Hi…” you trailed off, not use to being a conversation starter nor continue one long enough for people to develop in getting to know you more.

You preferred to follow then lead…also you had a definitive weakness for extremely pretty girls. “I’m Enid Sinclair and if what principle Weems tells me is right, then you must be y/n.” It was obvious that Enid has a talent for having to talk for a multitude of people who don’t want to exhaust themselves in idle conversation or have no capacity to speak whatsoever. Which was a bonus for you, seeing as social interactions were never your strong suit, however Enid didn’t seem to be the most observant of a person’s character; You on the other hand had a knack for keen observation which meant that your style of approach subconsciously adjust itself when within proximity of certain people of certain caricatures.

“I am y/n, that is she- I mean me.” Your little awkward slip up made Enid smile and you swore you felt reality as you know it take a step back to observe her beautiful, beautiful smile. ‘God how much more enteral could this girl get.’ You wondered internally as she fell in pace with you whilst giving her tour of the school that you were barely paying any attention towards because firstly, how could you when someone as pretty as her was walking so closely to you and smelling that good? It made no logical sense! You believed at one point that your mind was playing cruel tricks on you becuase whenever you attempted to give yourself a little space from Enid; Only for the girl to move just a little closer to you that the fabric of your purple striped blazers were rubbing up on one another.

You even had to check you pulse at one point to make sure you hadn’t accidentally died and gone to heaven. “Oh I forgot to show you the coolest part of Nevermore!” Your breath caught in your throat as Enid grabs ahold of your arm and redirects you down the hallway past several ongoing classes; past the quad where some students were huddled together, actively skipping their least favoured lessons to let themselves loose. “Hey Enid! Hey new kid!” One of them called, a boy of quite moderate height, a nice smile and a beanie that rests atop of his head. “Hey Ajax!” Enid called back cheerfully, her grip on your arm tightened as she pulled you closer to her side which only proved in making your brain short circuit at the contact. “This is y/n, I’m just showing them them around school!”

“Hey there.” You awkwardly waved at the boy who waved backed vigorously. You had to admit, while Ajax may lack social awareness skills, he was certainly making his way up on your short list of people to go to should you ever feel lost amidst the chaos that you were soon recognising this school to be. “Well have fun you two and don’t run headfirst to the lake fully clothed. Take it from me, it’s super cold dude.” Ajax advised but before you could ask where that penitent fact came from, Enid began to drag you away once more. “He’s high.” She whispered in your ear, her warm breath brushing against your skin, causing your breath to stifle at the closeness, “they all are, actually.” She adds as she looked back at the quad as it began shying away into the background.

“Ajax seems nice.” You offhandedly mentioned. I know right!” Enid squeals excitedly, “sooo nice in comparison to my dorm mate, she’s a real ‘wow is me’ type.” The blonde must’ve seen your apprehensive stance and grimaced, “as bad as I make her out to be, she’s really cool and I think you’d both will get along just fine.” Enid attempts to rectify your view on Wednesday, already having caught on the fact that you weren’t going to be keen towards certain people at Nevermore. She could tell that you’d warm up to the likes of her and Ajax overtime which meant that you’d get along well enough with Xavier, however his popularity might be a drawback for you; Wednesday on the other hand, in Enid’s opinion, was the perfect for someone like you.

“Why? Is it because we both come across as unapproachable or too uninteresting to get to know on a deeper level?” You scoffed, “Yeah sure, we’ll get along just fine.” You added sarcastically as you looked away from Enid to hide the hurt in your eyes at the insinuation that the prettiest and most kindest girl you’ve ever met was throwing you away, to becoming someone else’s problem. You should’ve known that you could never trust a pretty face, no matter how kindly they acted; for it will always be a farce. Enid pulled herself away from your side and moved in front of you, putting her hands on your shoulders as her hurt expression mimicked your own.

“I didn’t mean it like that y/n. It’s just that you and Wednesday share similar qualities that I thought you’d be better off being better friends with someone who understands you rather then someone like me…” the blonde trails off, saddened that you couldn’t help but feel the urge to comfort her, you hated being the reason she frowned and you’d found yourself wanting to make her smile that bright smile again, anything. “If it’s of any value to you but as far as I’m aware, we already get along quite well…don’t you think?” You smiled softly at her, resting your hands against Enid’s shoulders, rubbing them comfortingly as you watched the emotions in her eyes shift from upset, confusion, then realisation, and finally happy.

“You really think we could work?” She asked as a smile crept up unexpectedly upon her lips that you had to snap yourself out of staring at them for longer then a friend should. “Oh most definitely,” You hummed in agreement and at that, Enid squealed happily before roping you into a crushing hug, her cutesy giggles purposely finding their home right in your ears as you stiffly moved your arms across her waist. “I’m so happy right now y/n, you have no idea!” She cried, tightening her grasp on your blazer as you rest your heads against the others shoulder. “If it’s anything akin to how I’m feeling right now, then I think I might have some idea.” You replied, a smile growing on your face as you stayed in each other’s embrace; You might actually get use to Nevermore.

tuesday again 8/29/2023

my ENTIRE SUMMER has been either worrying about moving or actually moving. ALL OF IT. however an incredibly hot butch milf on the gay community bulletin board/dating app lex has finally answered my piteous call for gun safety classes with an invitation to her private range. unfortunately she is a landlord who owns a VERY large apartment complex. houston is a land of contrasts

listening

more joywave! one of my favorite bands bc they are best listened to in full album format, and i did a fuck of a lot of driving this weekend. little lies you’re told has an opening like a big machine warming up while you are in a control room way high up on a gantry somewhere. spotify

reading (2x bonus round)

All The Trimmings by Tesni Morgan (published 2001 in the UK) is a gift from @believerindaydreams. it is “erotic fiction written by women for women” (debatable) and “the publishers recommend that this book should be sold only to adults”. also, “Black Lace novels contain sexual fantasies. In real life, make sure you practise safe sex.” idk i’ve ever seen that kind of notation on an american novel before? fascinating precursor to the saccharine little “stay safe kids” ao3 authors notes

i do find the premise genuinely fun and compelling— two divorced milfs opening a hotel/bordello with historically themed rooms. i have had to look up a lot of british purple prose and i refuse to believe anyone says “rogering” in real life.

im being edged with glimmerings of bisexuality. every time one of the milfs gets turned on and goes out roaming to distract herself from being turned on, i go “oh?” like at a pokemon go egg, but so far all the dalliances and encounters have been dudes.

had a very strange experience with cormac mccarthy's blood meridian. i don’t normally interrogate whether or not i am the intended audience for a work except when it’s literally made for children, bc i as a modern bisexual woman am the intended audience for vanishingly few works. for example, many entire genres (westerns) are very challenging to enjoy.

a western has never made me go "wait so why DO i like westerns at all" so hard. like, what AM i doing here in this genre that is often deeply fucking uncomfortable to consume as a woman, and where the most foundational american and european works of the genre often uncritically embrace the worst parts of the american mythos in the most violent way possible? i do believe critics when they say mccarthy is not embracing violence for the sake of, and in fact has something to say with his revisionist western, but my god is it hard to wade through. anyway, dad media will not fuck me and i still have only a tenuous grasp on why i try so hard to glean enjoyment from it.

i know what mccarthy is trying to do and the overall tone of “weird old maybe-uncle” spinning a yarn to a big group of you and your cousins around a fire somewhere is pretty effective. unfortunately I have less tolerance for mccarthy’s style now than when I read The Road thirteen years ago in high school. i was immediately super invested in The Road’s single dad and how he and his kid were surviving, which does not need a lot of interiority.

blood meridian also has very little interiority. the first five chapters are a teen falling in and out of various fights. i was not, and am still not invested. if im reading A Man Goes On A Journey western (as opposed to A Stranger Comes to Town western) i would like to know two or three things about the man, especially if it seems to be angling at a bildungsroman. i don't typically care for third-person objective narration when it is this closely focused on one guy, and i really don't care for loving descriptions of maggots. comforting to know a lot of critics were also squicked out by this book. so it goes.

watching

finished watching s1 of spy x family! a Legally Not West German spy in Legally Not East Berlin has to go into deep cover and pose as a family man in order to gain access to Legally Not Erich Honecker, because the only social events Legally Not Erich Honecker goes to are the ones at his son's elite prep school.

this man FLINGS himself into being the absolute best husband and father possible. for the mission, of course.

i found the first few episodes the best, which is generally the opposite of my normal anime experience. i think it does a really good job of balancing high-octane spy hijinks and chases and explosions with very domestic concerns (he PROPOSES. with a THE RING OFF A HAND GRENADE. AFTER THROWING IT), and once you're really hooked on these characters it turns into a bit of a curtainfic. curtainanime? i had fun with all of it and anxiously await season two, but the actual applied spycraft does drop off significantly as the series goes on.

playing

we're going to continue with out of context genshin screencaps for the duration. the watery land of fontaine has a neat smorgsabord of visual style-- freshwater but also saltwater but also the aquarium section at petsmart.

making

unpacking mostly. acquired this coffee table and its mother. needs a very deep cleaning and some touchups but is intact. the individual tables are a bit large for like individual party drinks tables but all six together are QUITE large. four tigether would be a comfortable coffee table size for many apartments imo but! bc everything truly is bigger in Texas including my apartment it works for right now. for the first time in my life i am considering a sectional sofa bc the living/dining room is that dang big.

Scrimbly Jacqueline 46/52: POV: the last thing you see before you're stabbed and your chocolate is stolen along with your nice fabrics and shiny things

aka, Pirate Jacqueline!

tbh I'd never given much thought to her pirate fit? I always pictured her dressing like my dnd pirate character Aster lol, which was greens and browns. But then I was like. Dani. Dani. They loved colourful fabrics and shit, them pirates! And Jacqueline can change her wardrobe using SNOW AND ICE. So....let's give it a go!

And so I did! And voila!

I knew she wore a big floppy hat for sure, from the get go, with feathers--though I only decided on the amount and colour while scribbling concepts in one of my older sketchbooks!

I once again used this handy dandy webbed site and went through the styles of the golden age of piracy (roughly 1650 to 1720, which is when she was active) and then built the fit from that

The feathers are warm bc summer sprite lineage, and a purple one bc I like purple and also think it's deffs in the winter sprite palette!

I added some wintertime plants too, just for funsies 🤭🤭 there's snow drops and holy in that bitch!

The corset/bodice/stays is early half of the century; the clasps across it have snowflakes in the middle, that's what the white streak is lol

The white swirls on the jacket and boots (tho I forgor to put 'em there) and hat are all just frost! Her frost usually looks swirly on smooth surfaces :3

The jacket is a mix between mens jacket's in the late 1700s and a ladies riding fit, I believe

She deffs had a half thawed, have frozen look going on with the hair! The humidity deff wouldn't have let a freeze job stay put for long.

I can't decide if it was as pictured, or reverse (roots brown, ends snowy), or like a kind of like. Weave? Mix? Marble cake? I can't think of the word I am looking for for this but IT WILL COME TO ME

BUT LIKE. SOME FROZEN TENDRILS, SOME THAWED ONES

She dual wielded usually! Deffs had a pistol somewhere, and is deffs strapped with daggers--that's why she's got the baggier pants instead of a more fitted fit (lol). I think she was pretty okay at throwing them!

Her crew was mainly women and she took in anyone trying to escape "bad" conditions--interpret that how you will! Needless to say, it was a very very gay ship lmao

When steamships came around and crackdowns on piracy really began, she made sure each and every one of her crew was settled down nice with a substantial sum before doing lady knows what to her ship and running off with a goddess to go live amongst ancient all female warriors for a bit and learn some cool new fighting techniques >:)

Also please take this bonus scribble I did while I was scribbling the concepts because it made me. f e e l t h i n g s

[flightfoot]

Thank you for AdriJule or ChaTigress recommendation! I'm happy that someone actually write about them either as platonic or a ship, the later is very rare. I'm envy those who openly say they ship them because I've been traumatized shipping a crack ship, especially one that involve a character that canonically Les or gay. It's representation erasure twitter residence said even though it erase nothing in canon. It's just scared me to this day that I can't create anything for my fav ship anymore.

Oooh yeah sure! Here are some. Also honestly I'm not too nervous about the reaction to shipping things like AdriJule or ChaTigress. The Miraculous fandom has far, far worse things to worry about. If someone doesn't like the fact that it's being shipped, well there's not a ton of it, so it's easy to ignore.

Kitty Siblings by RustyAce

“How’s it going, Adrien?” he asked, reaching over Marinette to scratch behind one of his ears. The cat hybrid’s purrs grew in volume as he pushed his head against Nino’s hand. “Good,” he chirped, his paws beginning to knead both the pillow beneath him and Marinette’s stomach. “Was gonna nap. Keep Marinette warm.” “I see,” Nino hummed. “So you’re booked for the day then?” “Yes!” he nodded, setting his head back down to nuzzle into his mate’s hair. Knowing Nino wouldn’t do anything to harm him or his mate, he closed his eyes, letting out a long purr. There was a pause before Nino spoke again. “Not even to play with Juleka?” Adrien continued to knead, but his eyes snapped back open when the human’s words registered in his brain. Like a flash, he sat up, tail twitching excitedly. “Hiss-ter?” he cried, letting out a cheerful series of trills. “She back?”

Roaring and Flirting by WriterRiderDirtyThirties

Chat Noir is going to be training a newbie hero: Purple Tigress! He's nervous about having to teach her the ropes. Turns out, he had as much to teach her as he had to learn from her.

This one's ongoing, but I like it so far, and I've liked other things this author has written!

Striped Heart by kingxuppu

After Rose's passing prior to the start of the show, Juleka falls into a deep depression. No one know how to help her, but when Ladybug learns she can give a miraculous to someone to help her in a fight, she decides to give Juleka a miraculous so she'll have a kwami to help her through her own fight. Chat Noir and Purple Tigress hitting it off was an unexpected bonus.

Riverdale characters as clowns you own

GREAT question anon thank you 🤡🥰

Archie is best represented by these two. Claas is our friendliest clown and Clarke looks like he has PTSD

Obviously Betty can be none other than Claxes Taxes Violence.

The duality of Jughead is best represented by these two. The one on the right (unnamed atm) looks so inquisitive.

Clola is Veronica. I mean look at that elegance!

Cheryl and Jason (Also elegant but in a more old-fashioned way. Also Cheryl is red, Jason is somewhat ghostly and forever young.)

Penelope. Don't ask me why. I think it's the pink coupled with the mischief and underlying malice.

Toni! She's pink and purple and has a kind & understanding aura.

Gay Kevin. AKA Gay Clatvin.

Juniper & Dagwood

Bobo the Clown as Hiram.

Bonus:

Claty Cleene (The L is Silent) as Katy Keene. Obviously.

[brucequeensteen]

not included in the poll but this is my favourite part of my room. these are my children and they come with me wherever i go. details under the cut if you are curious.

so from left to right:

the little orange duck is gerasimos (γερασιμος) there isn't much backstory to him. my friend had two little ducks and gave me one.

the ancient greek vase is a gift from my brother after he moved to england for university. he had a whole collection of these from museum visits and holidays, and when he moved he gave one to each of his closest friends and family members.

the little red guy is Dan the Soldier Man, a gift from my best friend and future wife ryan @fagician . Dan was sent in the mail all the way from the United States of America along with other beautiful gifts and he was sent to protect me from ethanphobia

a fox model stolen from my grandmas house. she's not very good at standing up by herself so she's slightly leaning on the spotted tapir i found abandoned at a park near my house in may. the tapir is called Auge (as in Eye in german)

the pandas are from nepal, i got them after my english grandfather died. he lived and worked in nepal for a long time (that's where my dad was born) and after he died, me and the other grandkids were allowed to choose from various souvenirs, toys, charms, etc that he kept from his time there. i got these pandas :)

the porcelain dolls were gifts from my childhood best friend. she was american and her family moved back to america when i was 12 and she gave these to me so they wouldn't break and id give them back when she came back to greece. she hasn't come back to greece yet so here they still are. i named them anne (red hair&green dress), theodosia (blonde hair&blue dress), bella (brown hair&purple dress), and madeleine (black hair&pink dress). The tiny cunt with the pilgrim hat doesn't have a name sorry

tiny amaura pokemon model! i found this little guy in a playground a couple years ago and put it in my pocket for safekeeping, forgot it was there, found it a week later, and put it with the rest of my children.

MY FAIRIES. when i was 7 and didn't know i was a gay boy yet i got obsessed with the idea of having a fairy collection. i loved fairies. i wanted to have a magazine all about fairies. as you can see i didn't get very far with the collection. i never gave them names but when i was 15 i decided they are all lesbians. Amen.

behind the fairies is a beautiful model vespa. it's turquoise. i technically stole it from a friend of mine at her birthday party but she let me keep it. its wheels move ❤️

the two cars next to the fairies were also from grandfather after he died. he had lots of toy cars for my dad and his siblings and each grandkid got to choose two to keep. orange and silver for me, because the two green ones had already been taken.

to the right is my bottletop collection. in a box made of bottletops. my prized possession

bonus for those of you with curious minds who made it this far:

THE JOKER AND DEADPOOL FUNKO POPS. both of these were gifts im not the kind of person who buys funkos for myself. But they are gay married. rejoice.

[13eyond13]

Don't know if it's late, but your top 5 fav books (fictions)?

Ahhh, a good yet very difficult question. I sometimes have very fond memories of books I read years ago, yet they do not hold up for me at all when I reread them again at an older age? So some of the ones I might put on this list in the past I might not feel the same about anymore, so unless I've revisited it recently I don't feel confident enough in my memories to really add them to the list. I went to my GoodReads account and looked at everything I had logged, but I'm quite fussy about the criteria I use for this? As in I feel like the book has to be so beloved by me that it almost feels like it's one of my oldest friends or something. And I just don't feel confident stating that about most of the books I have read, even the ones I've given 5/5 stars. In the end I might only be able to give a top 3 list, but other than 1. Death Note the other two I love the most are: 2. The Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia Highsmith - I just have such a big crush on Patricia Highsmith's writing style, and I'd say she's probably my favourite writer right now. I don't know how to describe it other than it just draws me in every time with its deceptively soothing and understated prose, and I also love the aesthetics of her settings and characters and plots. This is by far my favourite work of hers. Tom Ripley is one of my all-time fictional characters, and if you're a fan of creepy conman stories and anxiety-inducing thrillers than you'll definitely enjoy reading this one. I had such a good time reading this entire series a few years back and grew really attached to hanging out with Tom, though he really is only at his best and most interesting and complex as a character in this first book, I think. (BONUS RECOMMENDATION: Both the American 1990s The Talented Mr. Ripley movie and the 1960s French movie Plein Soleil are worth a watch as well! I think the 90s one does some interesting things to translate the story from the page to the screen, and certainly doesn't shy away from the homoerotic undertones - also has a fun scene-stealing performance by Jude Law as Dickie. And the French one is just beautiful to look at - particularly because of Alain Delon at his prettiest and scariest, who I unfortunately developed a massive embarrassing crush on as soon as I laid eyes on him!) 3. Interview With the Vampire by Anne Rice - There wasn't a book in the world I was ever more obsessed with at some point in my life than this one when I was 15/16! I created an elaborate comic adaptation of this story for a book report that took me entire months of my life to make, I was just that obsessed. It just hit the spot for me so perfectly at the time because I was a lonely and confused little thing that was still very much caught between the guilty obligation of my strict religious upbringing and the frightening burgeoning realization that MAYBE I wasn't actually that straight (because boy-oh-boy is the vampirism in this book and Louis's guilty wrestling with his nature very easily read as a metaphor for struggling with being gay, hahaha). I loved Louis so much, I identified with him so strongly and immediately, and I think Anne Rice is just great at painting a descriptive scene and fleshing out a unique universe full of colourful characters and worldbuilding/lore that stretches back for literally millennia. Upon rereading it again older I definitely found the prose to be a bit silly/purple and the melodrama a little eye-rolly at times, but you know what, that is exactly what a Byronic gothic novel is kind of supposed to sound like, too. Lestat is obviously the real star of the show in The Vampire Chronicles, and Claudia is also a stunner of a character, but Louis has my heart simply for being the one to initially invite me into that interesting world, and for feeling like the only bro who truly "got me" during that particularly angsty and guilt-ridden period of my life. (BONUS REC: the 90s movie starring Brad Pitt, Tom Cruise, and Kirsten Dunst is a really good adaptation of it as well!)

Scream Wardrobe Hcs PT 4- Sidney Prescott

This is mostly based on her aesthetic in scream 1, it changes quite a lot after that (this is how I'm picturing her in debaser at least).

Mom Jeans

I'm not roasting her here, mid/high rise boot cut jeans were popular at the time and she looks hot in them

I'm thinking she goes for the levis 550 or 560

2. Overalls

I know for a fact that she has at least 2 pairs of these, she's a lesbian come on. Bonus, later in life she'll wear them with a bandana.

Also fml imagine how cute she would be in the oversize dickies ones (to the left) I can't

also idk why but these seem like final girl threads

3. A collection of cozy swearters from places like GAP, FILA and Tommy Hilfiger

Sid and Billy both have a GAP sweater that they pull down over their hands because thats what you do when you're closeted apparently

She mostly goes for lighter blues, purples and pinks

4. 90's girl brands like dELiA's (yes thats how the brand capitalized their name??) and Limited Too

She definitely used to go through the dELiA's catalogue with her mom to pick out back to school clothes every year (ok I made myself sad)

She wears a lot of high neck t-shirts and tank tops, plus some of those matching shirt+cardigan combos they used to sell

5. Corduroy and Denim Jackets

She hasn't upgraded to her final girl leather yet but omg look how cute the corduroy is

She always has chaptick and a little pack of tissues in the pockets and she will offer you some tissues if she sees you crying/sniffling

6. Hand me-downs from Tatum

Tatum likes to dress her up for parties and then decides she likes her clothing better on Sid so she just gives it to her

Every time this happens Sid is equally as embarrassed and flattered and constantly ends up doing that little look down/hair tuck thing she does

Sid would never have picked these out for herself but they do make her feel cool

Also these are both from dELiA's

7. Classic White Adidas & Leather boots

Pretty sure the boots are the Steve Maddens she wears in the movie and tbh I'm obsessed, she's ready to kick shit already, she's a beautiful butterfly waiting to emerge from her cocoon and kill her ex.

I like to imagine that she wasn't sure about buying them but Tatum hyped her up and they're her confidence boots now

But also my girl loves a white trainer, I think she's been wearing these forever and just always buys a new pair when they wear out. They're comfy but also cute and she's a practical girl.

8. Inexplicable grandma nightwear

sorry Sid, Billy was a gay bitch and he shouldn't have negged you like that but also WHAT IS THIS

Tatum thinks it's cute though

Why did I choose to pick out their underwear, I did it once so now I feel like I have to:

Sid is wearing fruit of the Loom briefs with her crisp white ankle socks and her grandma nightie and she will fucking kill you if you mess with her

I want to get more into classic literature. Any recommendations? Your taste is awesome. (I'm mainly interested in romantic literature. Major bonus points if it's gay. But I'm up for any kind of classic literature.)

omg thanks for this question!! i love giving recs on this shit lol

ancient queer stuff

'collected works of sappho' is always good place to start, i would recommend anne carson's translation. it is not the most literal in translation but it is the best version in my opinion for understanding the gay emotions that sappho was trying to to convey.

on that note, i would also recommend reading enheduanna's 'poems for the goddess inanna'. think of her as sappho's elder, she was a sumerian poet and the first person we know to have ever created a collection of poems and signed her name to it. she was also very queer.

'the iliad' is also very very gay!! i dont have a favourite translation, my fave greek translator hasn't covered it yet but deffo check homer out.

classic (or modern classic) queer stuff

'orlando' by virginia woolf - a book about a man that wakes up as a woman one day and also immortal. the book is a bisexual in everyway love letter to vita sackville-west, the arguable love of virginia woolf's life. also would recommend reading 'mrs dalloway' or 'a room of one's own' by woolf and literally anything written by vita who was an established writer, too.

'giovanni's room' by james baldwin - this book was really important in my coming out process when i was a teenager. its about letting yourself be loved when you've been raised in shame. james baldwin's writing is a gift. check out his poetry if you're into poetry fs. i also really like baldwin's 'tell me how long the train's been gone'

'the well of loneliness' by radclyffe hall - not a personal fave of mine but definitely an important piece of lesbian literature.

'maurice' by e.m forster - forster hid this book from the world until his death. its about gay happiness and he knew if publishers got their hands on it they would make it about gay sadness. it was publish how forster wanted in the 1970's even though he wrote it in like 1917 or something lol

'the price of salt' by patricia highsmith - the novel that the movie carol is based off of

'the city and the pillar' by gore vidal

'better angel' by forman brown

the dark bisexual quartet that is : mary shelley's 'frankenstein', bram stoker's 'dracula', oscar wilde's 'the picture of dorian gray' and joseph le fanu's 'carmilla'

'rebecca' by daphne du maurier - i love 'rebecca' because it so bisexual and nasty but anything by daphne is a big rec from me!! she was openly bi and it's very evident in her work lol.

'the bell jar' by sylvia plath - the original manic pixie bisexual. i try to read 'the bell jar' once every couple of years.

'the charioteer' by mary renault - mary renault was one of the first people to write gay fiction in the uk in a positive light and her work was frequently banned!!

'Q.E.D' by gertrude stein

'yellow rose' by yoshiya nobuko - she wrote a lot of lesbian lit but 'yellow rose' is one of her only stories translated into english

'tales of a mask' by yukio mishima

'patience and sarah' by isabelle miller

'the color purple' by alice walker - gay but depressing as all fuck however literary wise, the writing is incredible. taught me a lot about voice and perspective.

'the great gatsby' by f. scott fitzgerald - easy to read, so damn short and the most subtext to ever subtext. fitz was a shit but whatever.

non specifically queer classic stuff

'tess of the d'urbervilles' or 'jude the obscure' by thomas hardy - hardy owned my arse when i was a teenager lol, i would consider these two of my fave books ever.

'wuthering heights' by emily bronte - divisive as always. its a book people either love or hate. its also a confusing read and i would recommend looking up a character map if you do attempt it. however, i'm one of the people that thinks 'wuthering heights' lives up the hype and the first time i read it it broke me.

'pride and prejudice' by jane austen - like wuthering heights but fun!

'the mill on the floss' by george eliot - 'silar marner' is good, too but i like mill better. i wrote my entrance essay for uni on it and my ma used to read it to me when i was little.

'metamorphosis' by franz kafka - anything by kafka is good tbh

'the second sex' by simone de beauvoir - important read that helped me understand a lot about early 20th century feminism, the good and the bad. the book i consider the foundation for a lot of what has come since.

'the lord of the rings' by jrr tolkien - idk if you're looking for fantasy (if you are let me know i'll make another list lol) but if you haven't read lotr, i promise it is better than you can ever imagine. tolkien also lives up to the hype.

lovecraft. start with the cthulhu mythos and branch out from there. 'the call of cthulhu' or 'the dunwich horror' or 'the nameless city' are good entry points imo.

okay that seems like a lot, i have more if you need lol. hope this helps in some way!

[cobble-stone]

talk about Zenith!!! what's their favourite colour? food? any opinions on other characters?

ah. normal character questions instead of my incomprehensible rambles about their themes

hmm. their favorite color is pink, i think. even though they dyed their skin purple their favorite color is pink. (they also dyed their hair blue. zenith is a walking bi flag.)

food- i don’t know honestly! i don’t know what space foods they have access to. as far as modern day goes i feel like they’d like. basically anything that’s frozen/cold and sweet. ice cream, popsicles, smoothies, frappuchinos, (or just iced coffees in general). no real particular reason why, just vibes.

opinions on other characters:

so! they have their crew: themself, Astra, and Dye. they met this crew because they took up a job due to being desperate for money, and well. the company that hired them was a piece of shit, they went against orders, and ended up on the run from space amazon. originally there was a fourth member named Kit, but the player had to drop the campaign due to being busy.

they originally did Not get along with astra- very much opposing viewpoints, (astra was on the “fuck space amazon” train while zenith was moreso “i want to do this job so i can get Paid”), and zenith. well. was very stuck up for a while. putting up a front etc etc. but after zenith started to chill out and stopped being such a dickhead, they got very close! kinda- sibling dynamic, they tease eachother a lot but would kill for eachother. also has the bonus points of zenith helped killed astra’s brother’s fiancé who was a piece of shit (and also zenith’s ex at some point)

dye was kind of the mediator between astra and zenith, and really the first person that zenith connected with. dye was the first one to be like “i understand your side of things, this would be Dangerous” while astra and zenith were feuding. there’s one particular scene where the two sat down in the bathroom of the ship and zenith opened up to dye and it really just. cemented a lot of things for zenith as a character and also for the two’s dynamic. as far as current dynamic, they’re very close friends, and me and dye’s player (well. you know sonya) have decided “yknow what. they’re kinda fruity.” gay rights.

other prominent character would probably be Rhialla, the space amazon employee that zenith met session 1 and decided “she’s pretty. i want to kiss her.” even though she is part of Space Amazon, she helped zenith and the crew escape. she and zenith did get to kiss though zenith hasn’t heard from her in a while, so they’re Worried.

and. i think that’s mainly it? there’s the character who was the antagonist for a while (taeron, zenith’s shitty ex, astra’s brother’s shitty ex, a war criminal, got murdered by zenith).

June Music Releases: PART THREE

Part One and Part Two (aka just the Shinee album review)

"Shy Boy" by Carly Rae Jepsen. I don't think this is her strongest release but I think it'll get you to move if you listen to it. Kinda wish Jessie Ware did it instead. @ Jessie cover this.

"Moeroyomoero" by cali=/=gari. Has the energy of a Naruto ED with a bit more oomf. Like specifically Naruto or maybe Bleach, though as the song progresses it has its own identity. Has some nice guitar going on.

"Westside Story" by DJ Snake. Feel insane promoting a DJ Snake song in 2023 but it has the funk-influence of early Daft Punk but commits to it even more. Just excellent execution. Perfect use of autotune--makes the voice feel like just another instrument, like a singing guitar.

"Purple Ape" by Connie and Bayli. Crunchy and gay. Kinda abrasive but entrancing all the same. Feels like standing in the middle of a factory, peak of production, to make out with a girl.

"Dance Cult" by RIS-707. Feel insane again because there is some Bloc Party energy here, except it's more electric. Like there are a lot of influences present in this song but I can't shake the Bloc Party association and idk why. If you don't hear it, I understand. But this song will suck your jorts off. I do like this more than Bloc Party's latest track "Keep It Rolling," but you should also check that out if you like BP.

"Take Me Away" by DJ Hazime. Summery, tropical tunes. Not doing anything particularly new but if you're looking for beachy stuff to throw onto your more seasonal playlists, here ya go.

"Anything Flows" by Flo Milli (featuring like 9 million people). Not particularly new but she sounds goooood.

"Transcypt 2:3 Stalkers" by Aural Vampire. Dark sided dance track. GIve it a shot.

"Nasty" by grouptherapy. and jadagrace and tjonline. Confrontational bars and slick production. Feels like both a shot and the chaser. "American Psycho" is also pretty great, it takes a second to warm up but when it gets there... great. Fantastic.

"Keep On" by Tobias Bergson. Just soothing electronica.

"Realize" by LiSA. Jpop-rock. Spidervese song for Japanese audiences. Explosive, high energy, keeps you on the edge of your seat. Makes you efel like you're playig a racing game.

"You Rock Me" by She (aka this blog's namesake). SHe goes looong stretches without new music, so I'm always excited to get more. Just vibrant chiptune music. Dazzling energy while still being lowkey enough to kinda be background music.

"U Think" by voquote and reina. Smooth, the spoken bit does ruin the song a bit, but the rest is so good I forgive it. Chill dance music. But probably a better option of kinda lowkey but dancy music is "On + On" by Austin Millz and Justine Skye.

Also, people should rec me music again. Bonus points if you can relate it to a song or artist I've posted here. Could even be by an artist I've posted here--aside from like... She and CRJ I don't know a lot of the discographies of these artists.

SOME THOUGHTS ON NEW TD CHARACTER DESIGNS

she has beads in her hair and they look fantastic. also she has brown eyes as does a fair chunk of the cast which is making me so happy because very few td characters have brown eyes :)

it took me a bit to realize but this guy actually has a longass ponytail 

i think this is a hockey shirt?

she has an eyebrow piercing in addition to ear piercings and i feel kinda cursed saying this but she looks like someone combined courtney and duncan with maybe a splash of brick. regardless she is my fav character in terms of looks so far (little confused about what is going on with her shirt(s?) though)

bleached blond hair and an undercut plus a purple shirt, what i’m gonna guess is a purple vest, and a cool necklace. loving the fashion sense. pretty sure ive seen one of my best friends in this exact outfir

it might be the quality of the image but she looks like her eyes could be purple? maybe just an odd shade of brown though

love the pleated skirt as opposed to those weird wrap things fresh used to do. glad we’ve moved on. the winged eyeliner!! also super cute sneakers which brings me to the observation that only one female character is visibly wearing heels which makes me SO happy. im so sick of girls on the show being designed with 3+ inch heels like how tf are they supposed to do challenges like that. but almost every female member of this cast is wearing sneakers and im so here for it

THE CURLY HAIR WE LOVE TO SEE IT!! actually this cast has a fair amount of curly/textured hair it’s making my curly self so happy

the first td character to wear high waisted jeans!! looks a little weird to me tbh but i get it considering how extreme the art style is when it comes to waists. anyways this character looks very sweet :)

bonus: my guess for the gay couple is these two bc they’re looking at each other like this from across the campfire

in conclusion, while the designs aren’t as colorful/intense as, say, the pahkitew or roti designs, i love how natural/realistic they look and am super happy fresh changed things that bothered me in the past (heels, lack of brown eyes + curly hair) very excited to learn more about these characters!

What your favourite Eternals character says about you

Based only on my opinions.

Ikaris: you love Richard Madden, or you love characters who are fucked up and do bad things but for understandable reasons. Or both.

Ajak: Milf lover, team mom edition. You either think she's a mom friend or you think she's just as to blame for everything but you like morally ambiguous characters so it's okay.

Gilgamesh: you're obsessed with the "it's rotten work"/"not to me. not if it's you." quote. You want someone who loves you through all hardships and/or you relate to the role of being a caretaker for your loved ones.

Thena: the same as Gilgamesh and you love Angelina Jolie and badass women. You are also a softie (hidden or not) and might be touch starved.

Phastos: you have the biggest brain cells. That's right, you have more than one! You hate the mcu fandom but you're still here for some reason. You were usually the one in the group project who did most of the work and put in the most effort, even if everyone else was competent and did their own work. You have suffered burnout.

Makkari: You're also a collector of many, many things. You probably ship drukkari and/or wish she was seen more outside of her relationship with Druig. They wouldn't have been able to find Tiamut without her and you think she deserves more appreciation!

Kingo: You love purple. You want to watch his movies. You love characters who appear selfish and but also care deeply for the people they love. You love Tony Stark (and for the same reasons you love Kingo), but if you don't, you think Kingo is like him but done better. Your strongest trait is understanding other people's decisions even when you don't agree with them, and you value people who have beliefs they stand by but won't hurt people over.

Sprite: Comic relief characters who finally get to explore their dark side or personal issues are your favourite. You might have abandonment issues or struggle with your self-image. You feel like no one knows your real self. You love chaotic little bastards. You love those "shout out to [character type] Gotta be one of my favourite genders" memes.

Sersi: You love soft, good, kind characters more than anything. You have a hard time making decisions. You were the one in the group project who always did a good job and put the effort in but never wanted to be in charge or give the presentation but would step up if needed (alternatively, you were usually the one in charge and you always really appreciated these types of group members). You might be a little touch starved.

Druig: you're a basic bitch. I'm sorry but it's true. You're also a loki fan.

Bonus!

Ben and Jack Stoss: You're also a Phastos fan, and you want to see a lot more of him and his family in both the MCU and in the fandom. You hate the fandom for ignoring this perfect family and the first gay kiss in the MCU.

Karun: you have the biggest brain cell. Damn, you wish you'd gotten to see his eternals documentary.
