HAPPY 10th ANNIVERSARY FROZEN!!!

Sorry, I'm late... I've been trying to reminisce all memories throughout the passing decade since the launch of #FROZEN.

In 2013, I was in Japan and had ZERO interest in Disney at that moment. Then I began to see my Thai artist friends started drawing these sisters. I was like who were these cuties? What are these blond beauty-red head lovers' chemistry here? LOL! My friends told me "GREAT STUFF FROM DISNEY. DON'T YOU DARE EVER MISS IT!!!"

In Japan, they launched many months behind the rest of the world due to the translation process. It's a true AGONY to wait. I saw all the spoilers flooding the internet all those time. All I know was they're sisters who very much lovey-dovey for each other.

It's 14.3.2014, the first time I watch a movie at a theatre in Japan. The very first round of the show. And that's it, I fell for them. I was obsessed, I continued to watch them in the theatre for one whole week.

Such a fresh concept and idea from Disney. Anna and Elsa are sure so shiny and lovey-dovey as my friends told me. I can see how the fandoms grew, hundreds of fictions, illustrations, comics all over the places within months. Although this concept is not new at all compared to Japanese comics and animes, when it's "DISNEY" who made it happened, it's become phenomenal and more universal.

Anyway, thanks to Disney's FROZEN for making a big change in my life as well. I met tons of fans who are so kind and passionate in my artworks since I entered the fandom. They've been very supportive till this very day. That's the time when I started to feel like, I finally found something the I worth living for.

Thank you all followers who love my Elsa and Anna drawings, for liking, sharing, and buying my illusts and comics, and giving me lots of donation that I was able to get a Wacom Cintiq, new MacStudio, and stuffs I needed for making my arts. Also many thanks for some fans from overseas who send me FROZEN goodies from time to time. I've been blessed to meet all lovely people around the world. Thank you so much for all the love you gave me.

p.s. Sorry that this year I've been not very active on my FROZEN parody comics and commissions. However, I've been feeling much better lately so I hope I can finish something for you guys soon. :)

Love's Debut

Summary: In an actor AU, Loki Laufeyson is a world-famous actor; and you, his humble assistant. What happens when years of unreleased feelings rise to the surface...during the middle of his movie’s première.

Pairing: Actor!Loki x Assistant!Reader

Warning(s): Kinda fluffy, kinda angsty, large crowds, declarations of love, Loki is definitely OOC (but it’s my AU, so deal with it 😊)

Note: italics is a flashback

Loki Laufeyson was at the height of his career as a world-famous actor. He had starred in countless blockbuster hits, had legions of adoring fans, and was constantly on the go. It was no surprise that he was in need of an assistant to keep his life organised.

That's where you came in.

"Excuse me, Mr. Laufeyson?"

He looked up from his desk to see a woman standing in his doorway. It was safe to say that he was entirely gobsmacked. There she stood in a lilac blouse and a black skirt, her h/c hair sitting in a tight bun on the side of her head.

"I'm sorry to bother you," she said, her voice slightly hesitant. "I'm your new assistant."

He smiled warmly at her, feeling a sense of relief wash over him as her honeyed voice clouded his senses. He had been without an assistant for weeks, and the workload was continuing to pile up.

"Of course, please, come in." He said, gesturing to the empty chair in front of his desk.

She sat down, pulling a notebook out of her bag.

"My name is Y/n, as I'm sure you read in the email," she said, introducing herself. "I'm so excited to be working with you."

"I'm glad to have you on board," he said, smiling at her. "Is there anything that you require from me at the moment?"

Y/n shook her head, her eyes bright.

"No, I'm all set. I've read up on your current projects and I've got everything organised."

He raised an eyebrow, impressed.

"That's quite efficient," he said, feeling a weight being lifted from his shoulders. "I'm glad to hear it."

For the next few weeks, Y/n proved herself to be an invaluable asset. She was organised, efficient, and always one step ahead of him. But as he spent more time with her, he couldn't help but feel that there was something more there--a connection that went beyond just professional admiration.

Ever since the beginning you had kept him grounded. When we was stressed out over a tight schedule for a particular film, you were there waiting for him with a cup of tea and soothing words. When he was freaking out over forgetting to buy his brother's birthday gift, you surprised with him with a present of his own--the item that he was looking to get Thor.

And as the weeks turned to months which turned into years, that feeling of admiration never left him. They continued to grow as every day flew by.

It wasn't until the night of his latest movie premiere, as he stood on the red carpet with you by his side, that he realised what it was.

So Loki turned to face you, his eyes filled with emotion, "I can't do this," he whispered. "I can't pretend anymore."

He saw you look at him with confusion, "What do you mean?"

"I mean this," he said, taking your hand in his. "I mean us. I've been in love with you for years now, and I can't keep it inside any longer."

As quickly as Loki declared those words, he pulled away from you. The realisation of what he had just done hitting him like a 3am wake-up call.

"I'm sorry," his voice barely a whisper. "I- I shouldn't have said anything. I just... I had to tell you."

And with that, he turned and walked away; leaving the woman he loved in the middle of the red carpet, with cameras flashing all around her.

~~~

He didn't return to the theatre, nor did he make an appearance at the after party. He was disappointed with himself; declaring his feeling for you in the middle of a public event was not the right way to approach this.

So there he was, sitting on his couch, a glass of whiskey in hand; trying to drink his sorrows away.

And then someone knocked at the door.

Reluctantly, he made his way to the door and opened it, only to be greeted by you.

You had a frown on your face, and your eyes were red-rimmed. This is it, he thought, she's here to give in her two weeks notice.

"I'm sorry," he said, refusing to look at her any longer. "I shouldn't have said anything."

He heard her heels clink on the wooden floorboards as she made her way closer.

"You don't have to apologise for anything, Loki."

His red eyes shifted to look at her, "I've ruined everything. I've made everything awkward, you're here to give me your two weeks notice. What don't I have to apologise for?"

As he turned away, he felt her grab his hand, "There's nothing to apologise for, because I feel the same way."

His head shot up, his eyes wide.

"You what?"

"I've been in love with you for years," you said, a smile gracing your features. "I just never brought it up because there was no way that you felt the same way about me."

He cupped the side of her face, "But I do, Y/n. I love you more than anything this life has to offer."

And with that, all the years of unreleased feelings rose to the surface in the form of a passionate kiss.

It was a moment that the two of you would never forget; a moment that would changes your lives forever.

A/N this has been in my drafts since October, and I finally had the motivation to finish it :)

Taglist! Everything: @thewaithfuckingannoyme @evelyn-kingsley @moonlight-ee Loki: @dryyoursaltyoceantears

The way I loved you

Mickey Altieri x Male Reader

I apologise to everyone who has sent me story requests 😭 I probably should of worked on one of those instead and i promise I'll do them soon but i noticed there is no Mickey x Male reader fics, so i had to take it upon myself to do him justice. I also really wanted to write something with Sidney in it lol.

This takes place during the final act, the beginning is the same as the movie but i changed the ending to cut it short because I was really tired writing this so if there is any mistakes than im sorry <3

You ran through the college campus trailing behind Sidney. You two had just been attacked by ghostface while being escorted away from the college to protect Sidney. You were still processing your friend, Hallies, death. She didn't deserve to die. You felt guilty for not staying close to her, instead you went with Sidney to try to de-mask the Ghostface that lay unconscious in the car they had crashed in. When you and Sidney reached the car you noticed he was gone. You turned to see him jump out behind Hallie, brutally stabbing her to death.

That's when you two ran, as far as you could. Sidney held onto your arm, you didn't know where she was going. You didn't question it either, she had been through this before. You trusted that she knew what she was doing. She guided you to the college's theatre. You both ran down the aisles upon aisles of chairs, calling for any help. You stopped when you and Sidney reached the stage.

"Sid, I need a break." you bent over, placing your hands on your knees. You struggled to catch your breath. Sidney looked at you, her hand on your back. She looked around. Suddenly you two heard a noise. You saw the mechanisms on the stage start to move, walls being lowered down, blocking your ways out through the back stage.

Sidney ran towards one of the barriers. "Fuck" She yelled, banging on them. She looked back at you, before noticing something coming down from the roof. It looked like a star. You glanced up at it, seeing someone hanging from it.

"Derek?" You questioned, squinting your eyes. Sidney ran over when the mechanism lowered. She placed a hand on his chest.

She began to untie him, struggling to undo the many knots that had been tied to keep him in place. You went to help her until you noticed a figure moving closer to the stage.

"Um Sidney?" You moved your hand to tap her shoulder. "Who's that?" You asked, pointing your hand forward. It took you both a second to realise it was Ghostface.

Sidney slipped out a curse, picking up the speed of untying Derek from the play prop he was tied to.

The Ghostface climbed up onto the stage. You backed up. "Oh I wouldn't do that if I were you. You really want to try free your boyfriend?" He said, looking at Sidney. He began to talk again, this time with no voice changer activated. "Don't you know history repeats itself?" you all turned to look at him. He sounded familiar.

"No" you whispered. You realised who it was. It was Mickey, your boyfriend. You denied it at first, hoping it was someone who sounded similar. Mickey would never want to kill someone.

You watched as the Ghostface removed his mask. Your heart dropped. It really was Mickey. He placed the voice changer over his mouth. "Surprise Sidney." He reached his arm out, dropping the device.

He began to remove his costume. "Since Derek here disappeared on my ass, I've been on my own all fucking night." you all stood there, still in shock. "Thanks alot partner." You couldn't take your eyes off Mickey. You couldn't believe you trusted him or even loved him. Sidney slowly turned towards Derek, backing away. You realised what he said. Partner? Was Derek working with him?

"You mother fucker" Derek exclaimed. "Sid he's crazy, you know me better than that."

"Oh come on Sid, I gotta have a partner. I couldn't have possibly done this alone." Mickey looked manic. You were becoming scared of him. You've never seen him like this.

Sidney's eyes began to water. She let out a breath of disbelief, staring at Derek. Derek began to panic, begging Sidney for help." No no, Sid he's lying" He turned his head to face you. "Y/N you don't believe him right?" You finally took your attention off of Mickey. Turning to face Derek, you didn't say a word.

You heard Mickey laugh, he held the knife to his head. He kept repeating "Boyfriend or Killer '' Obviously directed towards Sidney. Derek began shouting at Mickey, claiming he was going to kill him. You and Sidney jumped when a bang suddenly filled the theatre. You heard Sidney screaming as she covered her hand over Derek's chest. You saw blood begin to drip down Derek's torso. You could barely process what happened.

Mickey held the gun towards Sidney. "You should really deal with your trust issues. I mean poor Derek, he was completely innocent." You grabbed onto Sidney, pulling her back from your manic boyfriend. Mickey's focus finally fell onto you. "Ah Y/N. What a pleasure to see you here."

"What the fuck is wrong with you." you said, voice cracking. "This isn't you, it can't be." You couldn't get your mind around the fact you have been dating a serial killer.

"Oh but baby it is." He held his arms out to his side, smirking. "The one and only." You shook your head.

"You fucker" Sidney shouted out. Mickey pointed his gun towards her again.

"Don't you get involved bitch, I'm not done with you." You put your arm in front of Sidney. "Baby, come over here." Mickey motioned for you to go beside to him. You looked at Sidney. "No, no. Don't look at her." He ordered. "Look at me. Come over. This is between me and Sid. You don't need to be involved"

Your eyes began to water. You didn't know what he was capable of. He could easily shoot you or even stab you the second you stand by him. "I- '' was all you could get out. You felt a lump in your throat.

"You'll be ok. Just stand by me and I won't have to hurt your pretty face." He said, gun still pointing at Sidney. You closed your eyes, letting out a small cry. You turned to Sidney, apologising before walking over to Mickey. "Smart boy. You were always the only one out of them all to have common sense. It's what I love about you the most." You stopped as you stood beside him, your back facing Sidney.

"Now, Sidney. What am I going to do with you?" Mickey asked, grabbing your hand, placing a knife in it. Your heart skipped a beat. Was he going to tell you to kill Sidney? You couldn't. No way. He leaned in towards you. "If she tries to run you swipe at her ok babe?" He patted your back, walking towards Sidney. You turned around, you could barely see. Your vision blurred from the tears that lay in your eyes.

"Y/N.. No" Sidney looked at you, shaking her head. "We're friends."

"Don't talk to him." Mickey shoved the gun closer to her. "He's none of your business now." You heard footsteps coming from behind Sydney. "Ah, our special guest has arrived." Sidney turned to look at the door. Gale walked in.

"Gale?" You and Sidney both questioned. Gale shook her head. Walking forward more to allow someone else to walk in. You didn't know who she was.

"Mrs Loomis?" Sidney questioned. You recognised the last name. You remembered Sidney telling you about her past boyfriend who shared the same last name. You guessed they must have been related.

"Hello Sidney." She said walking behind Gale, pointing a gun to her back.

"Surprised?" Mickey asked, smiling like a maniac.

Mrs Loomis looked over at you, noticing the knife in your hand. "Recruiting someone else without my permission Mickey?" She looked at him. "Have you even explained why we are doing this?" She questioned, giving him a disappointed look.

"No not yet, I was going to-" Mrs Loomis cut Mickey off.

"No. You know what the deal was, no one else gets involved and we both get what we wanted." Mrs Loomis gave him a stern look "This is your fault" She moved her gun towards you, opening fire. You felt pain in your shoulder, shouting in pain. Sidney jumped in fear, screaming your name.

"NO" Mickey shouted, watching you fall to the ground. He aimed his gun towards Mrs Loomis. He shot too soon. The bullet instead hit Gale's stomach. She hunched over in pain, stumbling to the side and falling off the stage. Mickey growls in anger. "You fucking bitch." He went to shoot again before Sidney grabbed his arm, pushing it up. Instead Mrs Loomis shot at Mickey, hitting his chest. He roared in pain. His gun falling out of his hand. Sidney backed away in shock.

"Oh Mickey, you sweet dumb boy." She walked over to him. You looked up, seeing him on the ground. His gun had fallen and glided across the floor. It lay in front of you. "Your plan was never going to work. Blaming all this on the movies? Really? Nobody was ever going to believe such bullshit." She stood over him, aiming her gun at his head. "I'm doing this to Avenge my son who was murdered by that bitch." She turned her head looking at Sidney. "It's the most understandable motive."

You knew Mickey probably deserved to die. He killed your friends but something in you didn't want him gone. Maybe it was the love you had for him that still lingered in your mind,you weren't sure. You grabbed the gun from in front of you, aiming towards Mrs Loomis, firing. She howled in agony. Turning back from looking at Sidney to see the blood spilling over her blouse. The bullet hit her shoulder. Her gun fell from her hand. Her free hand reached at the wound. She looked at you. You could tell she was furious. She stormed over to you,kicking you in the face causing you to fall down. You heard Sidney shout your name.

"Fucking teenagers" Mrs Loomis said,grabbing the gun you held and pointing it towards you. You heard a bang, causing you to close your eyes, crying out. You heard something fall. You opened your eyes to see Mrs Loomis laying on the floor, blood coming out of her head. You looked over at Mickey. He was holding the gun Mrs Loomis dropped. He laughed to himself.

Sidney ran up to him grabbing his arm, pushing it up again. He shot. The bullet striking the roof. He groaned, trying to fight Sidney off him. Sidney easily overpowered him, thanks to the bullet wound left on Mickey's chest. She grabbed the gun from his hand. Pointing it towards him, ready to pull the trigger.

"Sidney." You said through a hoarse voice. She turned to face you. She looked at you with sympathy. She couldn't kill the man you loved right in front of you. She lowered the gun.

"Pussy" Mickey whispered through a pained voice. Sidney rolled her eyes, kicking him in the face. He fell to the ground, losing his consciousness. You released a deep breath. She ran towards you.

She kneeled down in front of you,placing her hand on your shoulder. "How are you feeling?" She asked.

"Could be better" You laughed, wincing in pain at doing so. You both heard movement behind Sidney.

Gale popped up from where she fell. "I'm fine too, thanks for asking" Cotton suddenly ran in, with paramedics coming in behind him.

You sat in the back of an ambulance, looking at the paramedics wheeling Mickey out of the theatre in a stretcher. You felt yourself start to cry. You still couldn't believe that Mickey would do this. Sidney sat beside you, she rubbed her hand over your back. The paramedics ushered you into the ambulance. You forgot you had been shot, the pain of Mickey's betrayal hurt more than any bullet wound. You sat on the stretcher. Sidney didn't leave your side. Your head fell onto her shoulder. You didn't know what was going to happen to Mickey. You hated him for what he did, but something in you hoped things would work out in his favour. You knew it was unlikely but you still had a sliver of hope.

Hi, could you do a pin hawthorne x fem!reader with an angsty love confession with a fluffy ending? Maybe some prior jealousy from pin to add more angst?

Lots of love🩷

Perfect- Pin Hawthorne x gn! reader

Okay, hi! You sent this in like a month ago and I am so sorry it took so long to write and post (fires have hit my area and they've only been contained because we've had a ton of rain since friday, and before that there was prom and prom preparations which took up all of my time, as well as demotivation generally speaking) but I hope that you like this one!

Warnings- none

Fic type- fluff with a tiny bit of angst

When Pin was jealous, it was more obvious than not. You'd picked up on it from the get-go, had pretended to believe Pins insistences when you'd asked him what was up with his mood and he told you that nothing was wrong.

It'd been that way until a night at the beach, you and Pin chatting with Zoe and Marcus as the four of you waited for the group to join up. It was something to celebration graduating high school and a celebration of Zoe's insistence. For you and your online classes, finishing up had just been another Tuesday, but bonfires could be fun and Marcus had offered to bring the wine you liked, so you'd agreed and after asking if you could've, invited Pin, who agreed to go with you in turn.

Pin was relaxed, you noticed. He was no longer glowering at nothing and the grins he would shoot you weren't sarcastic ones. He was laughing, too. The laughter seemed like it came easily, not like the forced sound you knew was an indicator of jealousy that you had heard in the weeks before. He was your best friend again, the guy who wrapped his arm around your shoulders and offered you sips of his drink, offered you his green hoodie when it was cold in the stables and draped it over your shoulders when you mentioned being cold generally.

Losing track of time with Pin and the rest of your friends was always easy, and that night at the beach was no exception. You and Pin had arrived there before sunset and were still there long after, bidding your friends goodbye as Pin chucked more wood into the bonfire and the mood grew somber.

You needed to tell him, you knew. You couldn't keep the fact that you loved him buried within you forever, but you refrained. Pin kept opening and closing his mouth like there was something he needed to tell you too, and it could've been anything.

He hated you, he never wanted to see you again, any number of things, really.

But, with graduation having donned upon you, it was also summer. You refused to be pessimistic when it was warm outside and you could finally read sitting on your patio with a cup of iced tea and not a worry in the world.

You knew that Pin would tell you what he needed to say whenever it was that he finally decided to say it, and so you checked your phone. You added more wood to the fire. You glanced up to the dark of the night sky and counted all of the stars you saw, looked for constellations and when you found them, counted those off, too.

You hummed along with the song that was stuck in your head, debated with Pin about heading to the mainland to see a movie because the one theatre on the island was to be closed until the end of the month for maintenance.

You found ways to occupy the time you spent with him, rested your head against his shoulder and talked about going into the city for some cheap food from the McDonalds drive-thru whenever it was that you decided it would be time to go. You laughed at his jokes and made a few of your own until the air grew somber again, the lingering feeling of a confession hanging in the air.

That was when Pin finally spoke. "Y/N?"

You'd turned to him, adjusted the sleeves of his green zip up hoodie so that they sat just below your elbows. You met his gaze. "Pin?"

"I have a bit of a confession to make."

You shrugged. "Go on, then."

"I'm in love with you," Pin said. Your heart damn near did a backflip. "I've been in love with you for a while now, and if that ruins things--"

You moved before you could think about it, hands moving to rest on either of his shoulders. "I'm in love with you too, Pin. Have been for nearly a year. I realized in September."

"May I kiss you?"

You said nothing, only gave him a nod in response.

When you kissed, your heart was so happy. You were in love with Pin and he was in love with you in turn. In the end, was that not all that mattered?

When you pulled away, your gaze met Pins and you both broke out into smiles.

Pin was grinning, you were grinning, and at last, everything felt perfect.

Hi! I saw you opened requests for Bg3! I would love to request a matchup if that’s possible! <3

my pronouns are she/her and I’m asexual biromantic (so any gender is fine). I’m an ESFJ and a Gemini. I have green eyes and dyed burgundy red hair. I dress with vintage/fairy grunge clothes. Long skirts and corsets are my fav type of outfit. I wear lots of rings and necklaces and love to exchange them with others.

I’m the mom friend of the group, always there for everyone and my friends say that I’m really good at comforting people. I’m also calm and responsible, I usually am the one that takes care of other people. I’m very optimistic, I always try to see the good in everything and I often put other’s needs before my own. I love making others laugh to lighten the situation. I’m not afraid to stand up for myself or for someone else but sometimes it’s hard for me to say no to things. I also dislike when someone is too serious and really can’t take a joke as I tend to use humor as my coping mechanism. I’m also very ambitious, I always try to achieve my goals.

My love languages are, receiving, physical touch and words of affirmation and giving, quality time and words of affirmation.

I absolutely love listening to music, it helps me relax and I really like reading. I also love watching horror movies even though it’s impossible to scare me. I also play Dungeons and Dragons with my friends anytime I can. also, I absolutely love musicals and I’m definitely a theatre kid.

I really hope I provided enough info, have a great day :)

Oh hi thank you so much for being my first BG3 request! Hopefully I'm not going to let you down.

So after careful consideration and thinking on your post since it's been in my inbox for the past two days, I've decide to pair you with...

Wyll!

I decided to pair you up with Wyll primarly based on vibes. I have a feeling he would be attracted to your seemingly very feminine energy, from how you dress, to your more maternal tendencies of the party/friend group. He appreciates your optimism and would find you to be his light, in the darkest of times. However, while you're typically the responsible and calm one, he is more than wyll-ing (ha) to take over that role if you're in need of a break from being the "responsible one". He's overprotective of you though he's sure that you're capable of handling yourself, but he still worries, regardless. He's incredibly supportive of you and want you to know that he is, at the end of the day, your biggest fan.

Wyll is an ambitious guy as well and gives nearly everything he does his all - he respects that about you, and hopes the two of you lift each other up, and assist one another with reaching your respective ambitions.

Overall he provides a very good support system to you. On his end, if he's struggling with a decision or and doubts/thoughts of uncertainty, he's eager to run his thoughts by you in detail, struggling to make sense of whatever problem is troubling him, pacing around the room until he's finished and then prefers to cuddle with you as you give your two cents.

I think your love languages would align perfectly together, as he loves singing your praises to both others and yourself. Physical touch goes both ways, too, and finds it comforting when you touch his many, many scars. The scars themselves were painful and hold many memories, - good and bad - but your touch is cool and soothing.

I hope this was fine! Let me know what you think. Take care 💜

I have been tagged by @sparklyeyedhimbo thank you!

rules: name seven comfort films you love, and then tag seven people

- The Lord of the Ring Trilogy

That one's an easy one. For a very long time, it was just the movie(s) I watched the most often across a year. I fell in love with The Fellowship of the Ring when I saw it at 10 in theatre, and I never came back. I know them by heart (both in French and English), and at this point putting them on just feels like coming home. It's the friendships, the hope through darkness, the love overcoming for me.

- Pride (2014)

This one's based on a true story, it's beautiful and touching and has a fantastic soundtrack of course. I watch it when I want an uplifting story but I still need to cry (usually the Bread and Roses scene or Joe and Stef sharing the bed does it, but if not? I always cry at the end), and it makes me feel better about what we can do together. I also really like the friendships in that movie, somehow they make me miss having that irl the most.

- Constantine

You know how they say the music you listen at 14/15 shapes your music tastes for life? That was the movie version for me. I was 15 when I saw it, and listen. Hear me out. Between Keanu Reeves, Rachel Weisz, and Tilda Swinton (especially looking like this) ... well. I was very into it ok. I also love horror and supernatural so you know. I love the story, there is a really good sibling relationship (if sad), it has angels and demons and cross engraved bullets... it's an easy go-to when I want some action and fantastical stuffs.

- 8 Femmes

It's a French jukebox musical about a murder, with a women-only cast for 99% of the movie. What not to love?? It's camp, the actresses are fantastic (it's an all star cast), I love the 50s feel of the whole thing, the songs are great, the characters are color coded ... I somehow always feel lighter after seeing this one, and find myself singing along all the time. (also come on, who wouldn't want to see Fanny Ardant and Catherine Deneuve make out in skirt suits?)

- Ai no Kotodama (2007)

Ootani and Tachibana have been together since high school, now in college they live together, installed in a comfortable routine until a high school classmate reappears in their life and things... become complicated. This one is just… warm, and simple, and quiet. It's just a slice of life, the conflicts can be a little silly but some feel more grounded, there is a clear and sweet happy end, it always warms me up. I've seen it for the first time 13 years ago and I still think about it regularly. Also the two songs are great and still on my playlists, and the fashion now feels delightfully out of date (Ootani's hair hello <3).

- Big Eden

I watched this one for the first time at a moment in my life where i was very lonely. I picked it up because I had seen some gifs on tumblr, I knew it had a happy ending, and I was starting to want to watch more story with adults. There are so many things to love in that beautiful movie, but usually I put it on for the warmth and acceptance of the community, for "Thing is, Pike, we want things to be nice for you, too, buddy." and the whole "Did we teach you shame?" speech and "I was just hoping you'd let yourself be found this time. I was hoping you'd let us find you. But you keep wandering and we can't." and just... yeah. This one is a comfort still when I feel lonely, or lost, removed from the people I love.

- Coraline

I was already a huge fan of the book and of Henry Selick's work when my dad took me to see it for my 18th birthday. It's a beautiful movie, visually, with an incredible score (by Bruno Coulais), and a very strong adaptation of the novel imo.

Any random hot takes on EA and her musical? Literally anything you got about any aspect. I’ve become fascinated by the ins, outs and history of the industry thanks to YouTube and even though the Asylum story does nothing for me I’ve found the weird journey she’s taken to getting it made interesting to watch.

Oh I have all the hot takes on EA's musical. I've been a casual fan of EA since she played in Courtney Love's solo band and became a hard core fan right when Opheliac was re-released (2009). I mention that just so you know I know all the history when it comes to the Asylum and the musical.

I got into theatre my freshman year of high school. I started doing community theatre my junior year of high school. After I graduated from high school I kind of stopped but my sister got real into theatre and spent well over a decade as a professional actress. Like she still has her equity card. Covid was what brought things to a stop for her. I mention this because while she was never on Broadway, I know the industry. She did regional threatre, she worked on a cruise ship in Europe for two years. She has friends who are on Broadway and who have done national tours. She was in the pre-broadway engagements of "A Tale of Two Cities" and "Bonnie & Clyde."

My honest opinion, Emilie's musical will never be on Broadway or off Broadway. It's not the kind of story people come to see, the music is of a style of the Broadway of yesterday and it's a niche market. As far as I've seen she doesn't have it finished or keep making changes after changes. You need a majorly finished project to pitch to producers. She's not Andrew Lloyd Webber. Only he's special enough to earn the right to shut down his own show after lack luster reviews to make major revisions.

Emilie is also too big of a control freak for anything to happen. Some of her best work is when she has additional producers or a manager or somebody to watch her and keep her on track and hold her responsible. I remember when there was talk of the Aslym was going to be a movie musical done by the guys who did "Devil's Carnival." I had real faith in that. They also did "Repo!" and it was a huge cult hit (with Andrew Lloyd Webber's ex wife Sarah Brightman in it!). I don't know how Emilie burned her bridge with them but all of sudden she went from talking about the Asylum movie musical to no it must be on Broadway.

I remember reading that and laughing. She has like zero connections to Broadway or the musical theatre industry. She's been in NYC like 5 years now and the closest thing I saw to her make a connection was when she had a friend who was a dresser at "The Phantom of the Opera." And that wasn't even the right connection for her. She's writing a musical, she needs to connect with other writers, directors, theatre managers, you know people who can connect you to people who might be interested in putting on your work. A dresser is a good connection if you're into costumes.

Emilie doesn't have the slightest clue about how the musical theatre industry works. She just thought she could come in and tell everybody she's amazing and they'd believe her hype. She was supposed to do that workshop with IAMT and for a hot minute I thought something might happen. Then it didn't and they even removed the post from their instagram. Like IAMT is a pay to play training academy and she burned her bridge with them?!?! Or so I'm assuming. Again I think it's a control thing. Like it has to be completely her way or nothing. Which is why I believe the musical will never happen.

I don't have the link for it anymore but I remember when she announced the Asylum book was going to be be legit published. For a few days she had a link on a post to a literary agent. As a writer myself, with a 60% edited finished novel, I'm always curious about agents. So I looked up that agent. She specialized in fantasy and sci fi and historical YA. Not too long after that Emilie announced decided she was bringing the Asylum to everyone through self publishing on Amazon. I couldn't help but laugh. I was like I bet that agent and an editor wanted changes made.

I feel a bit bad for Emilie right now I must admit. I too am bipolar and I know some of her issues still stem from that. She had this great passion and idea and put all her eggs in one basket and they aren't hatching. She either can't let go because she has nothing else or she doesn't want to let go because she's afraid this is who she's been for a decade now. She doesn't seem exactly happy, she seems almost desperate. She's a talented musician and puts on an amazing live show and her book would have been great with an editor (I have the 1st edition hard cover). Whatever she's doing now is not her forte.

I know that was A LOT and had some tangents. I'll end with some photos. Me at VIP with Emilie 2009 St. Pete, VIP 2013 Orlando, VIP 2013 St. Pete

My Top Posts in 2022:

today i woke up and opened instagram, like i usually do, and the first post on my feed was from the Anti-Racism Daily (@/ardtakeaction) account posting about a nightclub shooting at a queer club. in my own city. it was a shocking way to learn about the news because for one, i never think of my city as being that noteworthy to end up on national outlets, and two it was a huge gut punch of a reminder that my little bubble is very far removed from the daily realities of life in my city.

i may have a skewed perception since i've lived in colorado most of my life, but it seems that we've had more than our fair share of mass shootings. first columbine, then the movie theatre shooting in aurora, and now this one. last night's shooting hits closest to home in more ways than one. literally, since it's a short drive from where i live. and also because it was a very targeted attack against the queer community.

i have never been to the club where the attack happened, but that doesn't matter. it was a safe space for queer people, one of few, in a city that is full of conservative evangelical spaces. at one point, this city held the headquarters of over 500 religious organizations. i don't know if that's true anymore, but that is a staggering number. it's also something that, living here day-to-day, is easy to forget. it's normal to see churches on every corner and get asked at a fast food drive-thru if you have a relationship with jesus (yeah, that happened to me once). for someone who's not religious, it's a bit of a trip sometimes.

i have to admit, i forget what colorado springs looks like to outsiders. and i get frustrated that the media's portrayal of this city is a one-note story of conservative evangelicalism and extremism. even the post where i found out the news about the shooting. because yeah, while colorado turned blue when obama became president and elected the first openly gay governor, colorado springs has always been red. and i understand that is what everyone sees from the outside. but i want to give you another angle. because that's not all that this city is.

i decided after hearing the news this morning i needed to get out and not just sit around and stew in my feelings. i was upset, and i knew just sitting and scrolling wouldn't be good for me. i live downtown, which is a bit of a liberal/queer oasis in this city, and if you only know colorado springs from what you hear on the news, you would never think this was the same place.

almost all the shops downtown are locally owned and many of them, including my favorite coffee shop, have pride flags hanging in their windows all year long. (this photo is from earlier this year, but there are still flags everywhere.) i went there today, and spent about an hour reading, which is something i do often. i saw many visibly queer people come in and out, as usual. but today i was more aware of them. most people probably wouldn't guess i'm queer just by looking at me (especially here), but i do feel a kinship with queer people i see out in the wild, even if it's just one-sided.

there is a queer club downtown as well (which i went to many moons ago before i knew i was queer myself), a burlesque club that hosts drag shows, a theatre that (before the pandemic) regularly hosted interactive showings of rocky horror, and a huge park that hosts the pride festival every summer. there is probably more, but i am very much an indoor girl so i don't know half of what goes on.

after i left the coffee shop i visited the tattered cover, one of my favorite bookstores, to pick up some books i had ordered. on my way in i almost ran into a very large, intimidating looking white man. he startled me (not hard to do), but then i saw his shirt. it was a pair of hands making a heart shape with a rainbow heart inside. i almost burst into tears right in the middle of the store 🥲 (i'm very emotional today, i can't help it). it felt more meaningful today than it would other days. i don't now if he was queer or not, but it didn't matter. the fact that he made the choice to wear that shirt today, in public, was a statement of support. a loud one.

after i picked up my books, i left right away to avoid any temptation of buying more 👀 (i have a problem)

i just googled other epistolary novels that could possibly be experienced à la dracula daily but like...most of the books that are out of copyright (and therefore in the running) i haven't heard of

HOWEVER.

house of leaves came up on the list. can you even imagine trying to release that mess of a book in a daily email??? i couldn't even finish reading it because i couldn't figure out what i was supposed to read in which order and all the different storylines in the main text vs. the footnotes

i'm sure tumblr would turn it into something beautifully chaotic but damn. it makes my head hurt just thinking about it 😵‍💫

i've seen quite a few people talking about dracula daily the last couple days, and i would like to make a suggestion: if you're following along with this (or if you've already read dracula), PLEASE also read the route of ice and salt by josé luis zárate. it tells the story of dracula's journey from transylvania to england from the point of view of the demeter's captain

in the chronology of the story, it takes place starting on july 6th, when the ship sets sail. it's a novella (less than 200 pages), so it's a quick read. i looked through the dracula daily archive and the beginning of july is pretty sparse with entries, so you'd definitely have time to squeeze this in chronologically! 😊

and, it takes some of the homoerotic subtext in dracula and puts it right in the text! this book is super weird, a little gory, definitely gothic, slightly confusing, really creepy, and very queer. and it fits the vibes of the original novel perfectly, imo

this book is only recently available in english, thanks to slivia moreno-garcia's very small press. it was originally published in 1998 in spanish by mexican sff author josé luis zárate. there is a free sample available here from the innsmouth free press website, and you can also find all the buy links there

you have plenty of time until july to get your hands on this, so no excuses! 😁

ah yes. today we meet van helsing. the character who made me question whether bram stoker actually knew anything about the dutch language at all or just decided to arbitrarily give this one dutch guy the weirdest grammar and speaking patterns i've ever seen

My #1 post of 2022

today is the first day that dracula daily really hit me emotionally. i've read the book before, years ago. but finally getting news about jonathan, even though it's not from his hand, was so impactful after MONTHS of nothing! like. reading it so spread out in real time makes it such a different experience than just reading the book in whatever speed it takes you to read it.

i actually felt relief from sister agatha's letter. even though i've read this book before! i thought, wow finally! some actual news from jonathan! and it's not a letter he was forced to write under duress!

i am just really enjoying this whole experience. it's truly the best way to read this story

Finally saw Interview with the Vampire at my old age, I know it's probably like sacrilegious to admit but I've just never been a truly dark and evil babe like that, anyway I have some extremely unoriginal Guillermo thoughts to share. Under the cut because it uh got long lol

I wasn't aware to the extent Shadows literally borrows entire plot events from this movie, which makes it especially funny that the movie exists in the universe of the show and that Guillermo presumably knows the movie extremely well. Like when he saw his friends in the sunlight execution well thingy and got to save them, he was probably so supremely satisfied like I have been waiting for this all my life I was made for this. Ever since he saw Claudia and that lady get fried he was probably screaming at the tv like IT'S CALLED AN UMBRELLA! and then he literally got to do it.

And when I first saw Guillermo immediately figure out the Theatre des Vampires invite was a trap, I thought “huh that was pretty quick” (but he's the smartest most coolest guy ever so it makes sense anyway). But now I realize he didn't even need to figure out shit! He literally had seen that invitation a million times. And if his stupid roommates had one time ever accepted his invitation to movie night they wouldn't be in this situation!

Ok but moving on. I was aware from cultural osmosis that this movie was gay, but in case you are unaware like I was, it's much gayer than you think you know it is. BUT it's gay in homophobic pulpy kill-your-evil-sinful-and-irredeemable-gays way, where it's like yeah sure you're a hot and gay vampire, and you get gay vampire married and co-parent a vampire child together, but your life is still hell because of your lifestyle choices (to become a vampire) and you'll never be truly happy, and also gay-adopting a child is basically the same as stealing her humanity and cursing her forever. But while you're here, let's watch Vampire Brad and Vampire Antonio breathe on each other's lips in some catacombs and talk about how much they “need” each other! You love that right???

And POOR! fictional gay catholic child Guillermo sees this and it fucks him up!!! :( Like, he's a creepy child already I'm sure. probably acting out puppet shows with dead birds in his room or whatever. And as we know, all creepy children end up getting their hands on movies they shouldn't see yet, and they eat that shit up. SO he’s seeing these awesome vampires, and he's maybe seeing intimacy between men onscreen for the first time ever, and perhaps even having an epiphany that that's actually a thing men can do/want, BUT it's in the most fucked up context ever. And he's like, “Oh THAT'S what *I* want though! SO to get that, I become a vampire, and do a bunch of murders! And he writes it down on his little notepad and he starts manifesting his own extremely toxic gay vampire love story.

And then it like actually starts to happen for him, or so he thinks! But it turns out to be way less making out with Antonio in a burning cathedral and way more like fishing Nandor's basketball jersey out of the pond or whatever. But he never gives up on his dream... I need a minute
