A RAINHA DIABA (1974) dir. Antonio Carlos da Fontoura Rio’s criminal underworld is run by an unexpected boss: a femme Queen with a taste for power and violence. But heavy lies the crown: what Queen can trust her subjects, however fabulous? When she sets up a stoolie to take the fall for her boy, a plot against Her Majesty arises! Loosely based on real-life drag performer and part-time criminal João Francisco dos Santos, known by the stage name Madame Satã. (link in title)

This is what I want to be, which is why I cannot stand to look at him.

“2000s horror movies had to adapt rapidly in the new decade. by 2005, the horror genre was as popular as ever. horror films routinely topped the box office, yielding an above-average gross on below-average costs. it seems that audiences wanted a good, group scare as a form of escapism.”

I keep coming back to this moment in the season finale.

The way Armand looks at Daniel after Daniel gleefully torpedoes his 77 year marriage sticks with me. Armand is super powerful, over 500 years old, and his life has just been destroyed by a rude upstart little human. You'd expect some kind of rage to be bubbling over here, and yet the desperate look Armand gives Daniel feels more like sadness mixed with betrayal.

But betrayal doesn't make sense. UNLESS Daniel's not just an upstart little human to him. If what Armand is actually experiencing is a man he loves and who once loved him hurting him beyond measure and gloating about it. If Armand loves Daniel but gave him up for his own sake, only to have Daniel take from him the only love he has left, then the sadness and betrayal on Armand's face in this moment looking at Daniel makes perfect sense. Even if Daniel doesn't even realize the full extent of what he's done and who he's done it to.

And knowing Assad is the #1 Devil's Minion enjoyer...like whatever happens in the script, I think he's bringing DM into his performance and it's beautiful.

I just had the most insane realization.

In universe… Lestat wrote Queen of the Damned. Like, he wrote his experiences in first person and wrote the other stuff he learned after the fact in third person.

Which means, in universe… Lestat wrote The Devil’s Minion chapter?

Homura:

Tries to warn the group about Kyubey in early timelimes

Jumps off a bridge to chase Sayakas soul gem without a second thought

Warns Mami not to fight Charlotte, that this isn't a typical fight

Despite her confusion of the dream world she's in, she refused to hit Mami anywhere vital as they fight over a witch

Says this:

Meanwhile Smooth brain takes on Tumblr dot com:

Homura is the antagonist. She doesn't care about anyone but madoka. She will use anyone for Madoka. She hates the girls. She's not friends with them.

we don’t give devils minion era Daniel enough credit bcus imagine ur boyfriend (who can kill you) has the emotional volatility of an ultra mentally ill teenager and u fight constantly and not only is this bitch prone to tantrum style throwing and breaking things when he’s angry, he can also *read your mind* and 100% is going to call u out and break down cry and scream etc over something you DIDN’T EVEN SAY OUT LOUD 😭😭 like omfg Daniel can have the most restraint in the world during an argument and his uncontrollable stream of consciousness is still going to get him in deep shit, it’s a miracle he fared as well as he did actually
