HORROR'S NEXT TOP GENDER
New bracket, featuring as many trans (or trans-coded) horror characters as can be shoehorned in there. Do you know if you each submitted one of these we'd have the biggest competition I've ever done?
RULES
no real people. i allowed a few last time because i thought it was funny because vampires don't exist. trans people do.
not just villains! any horror character is allowed.
you are allowed to make multiple submissions, but not to submit the same character multiple times.
harassment will result in the disqualification of your chosen contender.

Good Omens x Michael Sheen x Ancient Rome - a crossover made in heaven Italy
I'm crawling out of the rock I've been living under - just because I feel like this post I reblogged needs some context to be fully appreciated (and you all know how much I love deep diving into the most random shit). Quoting @thiswomanshouldbewriting :
No one is doing it like the Italian Good Omens fandom, making Michael Sheen trend on twitter because Alberto Angela used his footage as Nero in his documentary. Literally no one is like us.
The mentioned footage is, as you might have inferred if you're a Michael Sheen/GO fan, from the 2006 BBC docudrama "Ancient Rome: Rise and Fall of an Empire", which Sheen starred in as a very unhinged Nero. Imagine you're the average italian GO fan, channel-zapping while you do chores, or homework, or you're having dinner, and you suddenly see (on RAI1, aka the state-owned broadcasting *main* tv channel) THIS:
(and also the show somewhat restores Nero's reputation, *and* discusses at length the Romans' rampant bisexuality *and* mentions Nero's same-sex marriageS (plural) *and* the soundtrack SLAYS) (god I wish it was subtitled in English 'cause y'all would love it)
That's something to be excited about already. But wait... there's more!
If you're not Italian (hi 99,9% of tumblr) you might ask yourself: but what's all the fuss about? and who the fuck is Alberto Angela?
Glad you asked.
Alberto Angela, author and host of the documentary programme that included the aforementioned footage, is - simply put - an icon, a myth, a cornerstone of cultural divulgation in this country.
He's an accomplished paleontologist, archeologist, writer, and a very engaging communicator.
He's a son of art, since his late father Piero was an even greater public figure, an all-time favourite of the italian audience (think: the Mr. Rogers of science divulgation) -- which only adds to Alberto's fame and love by the masses.
He's been a staple on tv for a long time, a beloved chaperone to everything about science, culture and especially history, which he conveys with utmost passion.
He's also a very fine man.
It won't surprise you that, over time, he's become sort of a national sex-symbol: the charming nerd, the next-door Indiana Jones, the cultured, wholesome, handsome heartthrob.
...and a great source of memes:
"I DIVULGE. HARD."
"Deoxyribonucleic acid" *splash*
So... let's rewind for a moment: you're the average italian GO fan, channel-zapping while you do chores, or homework, or you're having dinner, and you suddenly see Michael Sheen as Nero featured on the most popular documentary programme in the country, by the most beloved & iconic tv host of recent times.
In conclusion: this is why the italian GO fandom is going positively feral on twitter. You're welcome. *crawls under her rock again*

Uncomfortable truth, but Lucas and Dustin probably would've thought Angela was hot before they found out about the bullying.
Dustin previously showed interest in Stacy and the other popular girls in Hawkins, and both he and Lucas thought that Princess Daphne from Dragon's Lair was hot.
Incidentally:
But just as Mike didn't give a crap about Princess Daphne or the popular girls in S2, he also remained completely unfazed by Angela's looks in S4. She leaned over to shake his hand and he spared nary a glance at her ample chest.
Milkvans will say it's because he's such a good boyfriend or "Elsexual", but he manged to sneak a glance at Jake, so.....

damien liking that tweet... i'll bury myself in the hole now but before i do, i want them to know i love them both and i cherish their friendship so much i hope this won't cause another drought and- (im spiraling)
I mean if the Christmas Event™ is what we got for waiting 48 days, I'm honestly fine for them to charge up whatever the next spirit bomb moment is next lmao
As much as people are feuding rn about Damangela you have to admit it might be one of the funniest misunderstandings to happen at Smosh ever.
Fully removing anything to do with shipping- Damien and Angela's Christmas Event™ and aftermath reads like a Hallmark movie, if you look at it from an outside perspective it just does, and I think that makes it the funniest shit ever (the fact that people are ACTUALLY shipping them though???????? LIKE BRO THE SPICE IS THE FACT THEY ARE BEST BUDDIES! GOOD OLE PALS! NOT ROMANTICALLY INTERESTED! THATS WHAT MAKES IT SO GOOD)
It's an honest to goodness misunderstanding! (that is just really silly)
It obviously (you can't fight me on this, it's just the truth) has undercurrents of being slightly romantic, (it's not helped by how she told it, and the REASON she told it)(not to mention Damien's replies) and obviously cheesy. I'm sure they both know how it sounds.
But I find it funny more than anything else? it makes me want to tease them? like I'm not even getting shipping vibes from it, I just want to pinch their cheeks.
If it were ANY other duo at Smosh people would be finding this funny as fuck like I am (imagine Amangela or quite literally ANYONE ELSE)
People are just being weird about the fact that they're both hetero ig?? Like I'm just looking at it from their perspective and I'd think it was funny as fuck
AITA- for forgetting what a co-worker said at a work Christmas Party because I had too much to drink?
