I saw the following on a Yelp review of a coffee-shop and now I think we should use it for fic:
"I would recommend to my closest friends and blood relatives."

Blood Relatives.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
If she wasn’t keeping track of it herself, nearly every television screen within CatCo Worldwide Media offices blasted a reminder of the significance of this week:
FUNDRAISER TO BE HELD THURSDAY, CELEBRATION PLANNED FOR SUPERGIRL’S FIRST YEAR ANNIVERSARY, a CatCo spokesperson announced.
Kara read the scrolling headline once, twice, three times.
Just about a week prior she was called into Miss Grant’s office, and was nonchalantly told the publication wanted to celebrate her.. Or, rather, Supergirl, and her many and continuing contributions to the safety and wellbeing of National City - and the world as a whole. Kara Danvers wanted to scream, jump up and down in shock, but all she could do was hold her breath as Cat gave her her task: find a venue big enough for a celebration of the sort. Staying within National City was preferred, but given the fact that power and structural damage wasn’t yet completed on the NC Arena after a recent quarrel between Supergirl and the one who calls herself Livewire.. Kara had to look elsewhere for options.
Tumblr media
One stressed phone call to her cousin lead to the conception of an idea within the Man of Steel’s head.. followed by a midnight phone call to his ex (but friendly) girlfriend and coworker Lois Lane. Never was she happy to be awoken during the middle of her deepest sleep, but she answered, and listened to Clark’s request:
“Lo, I’m sorry to wake you so late but I got a favor to ask. . . I need you to announce an exclusive, on-air interview with Superman tomorrow. It’s for Kara.”
Twelve hours later, Lois had the Man of Steel live in studio. Ocean blue orbs stared into the lens, and with a friendly smile Superman spoke to his city - and the nation:
“As some of you may know, this coming week will be an important milestone for my cousin: one year ago next week she took upon the mantle of Supergirl.”
“Are you proud of your cousin, Superman?” Lois - the interviewer - interjected.
Clark Superman knew Lois’s play, and with a nod of thank you, his smile size increased. “Immensely proud, Miss Lane. Putting on our suits and doing what we do is not an easy task; I know you remember just as well as I that I made plenty of mistakes in my first year as this.”
“Years. Plural. I seem to remember a few incidents across a few years.” Lois teased, leading to Superman shaking his head.
“… Not exactly the route I meant to go down to achieve my point, but my point exactly. Being us and doing what we do is not easy, and I have watched my cousin grow and evolve during these months - a year now. She has done stuff not even I have accomplished. If she is listening in right now, I know it would mean more to her to know I feel more jealously of her strengths and accomplishments, than I do of just being proud.”
“Was there anything you wanted to ask of Metropolis, Superman?” Lois guided the interview along.
“Yes. Supergirl and I have come to learn that the cities we are based out of have a tendency to claim us as their own. When it’s meant in jest, we find it flattering. What we don’t like is when people either online or in the media pit us together in a “who’s superior” contest. I want both Metropolis and National City - and frankly, the entire nation - to understand that we are just two people within the same family, with the same goals of striving for a better tomorrow. Metropolis, we should be more welcoming of the Girl of Steel. Which leads me to happily announce that, as of this morning, I have partnered with two wonderful organizations from our mutual cities who are excited to be apart of the upcoming celebration for my cousin. I would like to thank the National City Children’s Cancer Foundation and the Metropolis Children’s Cancer Society for their involvement, and I would like to thank the two anonymous donors who have already donated one million dollars each to the cause. Thank you.”
Tumblr media
Needless to say, it took less than two hours for Metropolis’s finest theater and exhibition hall to get into contact with CatCo… and after a more personal and private family dinner the night previous, Kara Danvers had touched down upon Metropolis grounds.. via private airplane.
She was suppose to be heading to either her hotel room or Clark’s apartment, but somehow her feet carried her to the nearby cafe, choosing an outdoor patio seat as she ordered from a given menu:
“Yeah, can I have the maple sticky bun, please? Uh, two please. I’m kinda hungry. And a mocha latte, please.”

Have you ever been so deeply disrespected by family over and over to the point you give less and less fucks about their opinions, especially on how much of a failure you are/how much they don’t like whatever your special talent is? I feel myself breaking inside, and yet growing stronger and colder. Kick me money so I can leave. I do art commissions, so I don’t expect it to be free and without condition.

I watched "blood relatives" last night at the suggestion of re:dracula, and really liked it! It was funny and heartwarming (and also heartbreaking at times).

BLOOD RELATIVES: A Heartfelt, Hilarious, and Bloody Character Study
Tumblr media
Blood Relatives--written, directed by, and starring Noah Segan--is one of the most entertaining films I have seen all year. This is the kind of movie I am always on the lookout for. It's charming, unique, and heartfelt--while still firmly fitting into the horror genre.
Blood Relatives follows Francis (Noah Segan)--a Yiddish vampire who has been traveling the backroads of American alone--until he meets Jane (Victoria Moroles), his daughter. He must decide if he can change his ways and be a true father for Jane--while also helping her to handle her vampire tendencies.
Heartfelt Horror
It takes so much skill to create something that is both wholly unique and wears its influences on its sleeve--loud and proud. Blood Relatives is a film that truly sings as a perfect amalgamation of Paper Moon with vampires and Jewish culture.
This combination is something I never expected, but it works so well together. Segan's script finds the humanity and humor in its supernatural characters--exploring relatable moments between this father and daughter duo that are also wholly connected to their uniquely vampire problems.
Tumblr media
Blood Relatives is a beautiful coming-of-age story--centered around Jane learning why she has a penchant for rare burgers. Jane is on a journey to discover how to be a vampire and a teenage girl.
The unlikely duo of Jane and Francis leads to some delightful comedic moments and wonderful performances from Noah Segan and Victoria Moroles--highlighting the differences and similarities between this father and daughter pair.
Strong Story and Performances
For Francis, it's difficult to accept that his life is forever changing, and much like Paper Moon, the film thrives when the worlds of 'vampire' and 'dad' are the most connected. Some of the funniest--and most heartfelt-- moments in Blood Relatives tell familiar coming-of-age stories with the twist of their peculiar, bloody affliction.
Segan's decision to write his lead character as a Jewish vampire is delightful--and the best part: this aspect of the character is completely felt throughout the entire film and Segan's performance captures the heart of Francis and is a beautiful depiction of the journey one takes into fatherhood.
Tumblr media
Combining horror with other genres can be tricky--and what makes Blood Relatives so good is how present those other genres are within this memorable film. Blood Relatives is a coming-of-age film and a character study of its two complex, extremely well-developed characters--showing how both Francis and Jane grow throughout their road trip.
Blood Relatives is heartwarming and relatable, as well as being hilarious. The comedy works so well, especially when it comes from classic Vampire lore and how Francis and Jane fit in with these established tropes.
Noah Segan and Victoria Moroles bring the already funny material up a notch with their performances. Segan's inflection and movements create a wonderful, funny dissonance with the typical brooding vampire.
Tumblr media
Francis might wear the leather jacket, but his personality is more of a goofy, lovable dad--even before meeting Jane. And this makes the early moments in the film such a delight to watch.
Francis is a lone wolf, but one closer to Lenny Kosnowski. And that makes Francis such a wonderful character and Noah Segan's performance so good, capturing the character's personality that is equally distant, cool vampire, and dad who thinks he's a distant and cool vampire.
Victoria Moroles gives a great performance as Jane, and the moments where she is working through her recently discovered vampire traits and bonding with her newfound dad.
Beautiful, Striking Cinematography
As well as being a cute, heartfelt tale of family--and finding where we belong, no matter how much we feel we don't quite fit in--Blood Relatives also boasts striking cinematography.
The cinematography of Blood Relatives perfectly captures the beauty of small towns, road trips, and the unfamiliar--secluded roads, seedy bars, the fog coming off bright, neon lights.
Tumblr media
Throughout most of the film, the nighttime is lit up with a pulsating energy. The cinematography reflects the film and the journey of its protagonists. In one moment--where the future of Jane and Francis' unconventional family is up in the air--the film takes on a dim, faded appearance.
But once Jane leans into her vampire tendencies, the color starts to become more vivid--highlighting the beauty of the sunset and the world at night.
Conclusion
Noah Segan's debut as writer/director offers a unique, heartfelt and hilarious take on classic vampire lore and the journey of fatherhood. Noah Segan and Victoria Moroles shine as the unlikely father and daughter duo.
Blood Relatives is a Shudder/AMC + Original and was released November 22nd on both platforms.

I was very appreciative of the film Blood Relatives very calmly and deliberately pointing out that hatred and antisemitism have been ongoing for centuries, and that the issues continue today. the past cannot be buried, nor can we deny the xenophobic, antisemitic, racist wave sweeping the world for the nth time. idk. there was something so matter-of-fact about it that was really well done.
