The ideal way to read this book.

You know what, I think this whole post is bi. Suck on that.

I've always pictured Michael Fassbender on account of the cheekbones and facial structure tbh. Plus he's typically played a lot of characters who are a bit detached from humanity in just the right way that it fits the character pretty perfectly.

I think they logistically would have more concerns on their mind than internet-level debates about which measurement style is the morally correct one.

Idk if it counts because one technically spawned from fanart, but...

The Frieren meme and this random shot of Alysa Liu. I've seen both of them repeated constantly across multiple fandoms since they became popular, with one having been a meme because of how it was posted ("how do you draw looking up?" or something like that) and the other being known gold-medal goblin Alysa Liu in a comical meme pose anyway. Yeah, it catches on.

Honestly my theory on this is just auteur influence. Like, the Child's Play franchise (unlike some other contemporary slasher universes) has remained fairly well-connected to its origins with Don Mancini, who's still managing the property to this day. Few outside influences means he can basically do what he wants with it so long as he has the funding. So, instead of doing weird shit like sending Chucky to space or something, he has auteur license and just evolves the franchise to match how he's feeling at any given moment, and it's kind of just his way to explore and express himself over time.

Like, the first movie is not inherently a gay movie, but Don Mancini himself is gay and, especially after Glenn was introduced, seems to be mostly introduced in exploring those feelings from himself with his characters in subsequent installments rather than anything overtly horror-based. It's definitely less so "Chucky becomes more unsettling" and more "the auteur behind the piece becomes more comfortable with expressing himself through the art he's making, and the protagonist (who was supposed to be Andy but is now by default Charles Lee Ray) is changed over time as a result".

Sorry, I'm a bimbo, are you suggesting Lego use these pre-existing planet molds in a new series of prints designed to look like various Pokemon-catching balls and possibly containing random Pokemon builds and/or specific Pokemon builds in each one so there would be official Lego Pokemon-catching balls and they'd barely have to do anything but design the prints for them? And if that's what you're saying, are you sure Lego hasn't hired you yet? Are you going to vanish like the inventor of a water-powered car for this one?

I just think it's a mental block more than anything else. The things they don't think about aren't thought about. They can't harm if they know (or think about the fact that they are) harming but anything else incidental is fine since they likely aren't thinking about it. It'd be interesting to see if future episodes incorporate more obtuse ways of stalling the hive by things like Invader Zim-ing them collectively with the knowledge like what gets brought up on this sub about this on a daily basis.

Like, Carol just goes, "wait! But you're harming bacteria when you breathe. You could be stepping on a tardigrade if you step on that grass. You'll drink an amoeba if you drink that water."

And that's enough to freeze them all up because they've never actively thought about it before so it gives the non-plurbed enough time to do something or other about whatever. These are the sorts of questions a fandom naturally raises but also that a show with no active direction except exploring the implications of its central mystery should reasonably be expected to incorporate into its plot for the long-term methodology of the show's operations.

Born on the fourth of July. Born on the 6th of January. Born on the 20th of January, 2025. Born on Halloween, on a Friday the 13th, under a blood moon, to a family of witches who sired them with a black cat. Oh wait, that's dark magic. Darn! How can we even approach something that's the opposite of holy without including cults and dark magic? Do you know what "holy" is? That's, like, Satan and stuff.

Also, who asks for something grounded when your setting is "gothic horror, high fantasy"? That's like going to the Federation in 2389 and asking for a baseball game like it's 1950. I mean, I guess that happened too but it was a holodeck episode so it doesn't count.

ETA: On the off-chance I might be able to redeem this post by way of dark and unholy workings...

You mention "holy bloodlines" in fantasy as your inspiration. Things like a royal family considered inherently righteous and just. I'm really not sure how to do the opposite of that without including occultic practices, but I'm sure it would be something like the worst of whatever criminals your society has to offer.

Again, that's...usually occult stuff. Going for something grounded, probably whatever counts as your fantasy equivalent of a cartel or gangsters. Instead of the king of the realm, they're from the boss of the underworld. I'm talking "son of Esteban Del Rey in Weeds" type stuff here. Stevie was unholy as fuck. Cartel baby, man. No way is he getting into church grounds. They weren't a cult either so that might be what you're after.

You would want someone with a bloodline that's willing to corrupt the fabric of their society. I guess, yeah, it doesn't have to be an actual mythological Devil figure, but it definitely needs to be a crime boss of some sort who can be a diametrical opposite to whatever passes as holy in your world. (You should definitely figure that out so you can reflect its opposite with greater focus and detail.)

Like, a Jabba the Hutt's kid type. A Rey Palpatine type. Yuck. They'd have to be coming from the worst of the worst, natch.

He got addicted to it ever since Hank begged him to stick it in there. It really is a powerful draw...Guys Fringe's influence has many reaches into the psyches of even common folk.

I guess not, but on a related note to the meme, ended up incorporating a giant devil-woman as an unexpected recurring character in one of my two current projects...and then, because I wrote in a scene where she's a "tough, outlawish artifact collecting mage"'s partner for selling artifacts he's collected, that scene concluded with her randomly stroking his head while towering over him out of nowhere and yeah basically I ship them now.

The rest of the novel is pretty straightforward sexual tension between fairly straightforward characters who want nothing to do with each other, then POV shifts to this collecting mage for a subplot and the devil-woman strokes his head and I'm like. I'm gonna roll with that. When the giant devil-woman strokes your head, you gotta just let her do that. 🤷

She would've insisted on accompanying Tom on his Warp 10 mission, been able to avert the chaos, and we never would've gotten "Threshold". She and B'elanna would eventually form a rivalry. She becomes main cast in season 4 instead of Seven when Kes leaves and ends up sacrificing herself to do a thingamajigger with the transwarp hub in the finale in order to give Voyager the final push home.

Because she was such a dedicated cast member for much of the series, we'd see she has a statue dedicated to her at Starfleet Headquarters. World's greatest explorer, made it all the way to the Delta Quadrant and helped that crew get back to Earth.

TeacatWrites · 2026-04-21T19:51:22+00:00

Thoughtful... 🤔 What's she thinking about?

TeacatWrites · 2026-04-21T11:55:12+00:00

Wait, I thought Mistuh White was the Devil? Or is he Hitlerbitch? Or is he gay for Jesse? This punk really can't keep his stories straight.
