‘Bad Sisters’ and the Wrath of Women Without Any Options

There’s something about John Paul Williams, the deceased nucleus of the new Apple TV+ show Bad Sisters, played with gleeful intensity by the Danish actor Claes Bang.

listen i’m but a simple me and drew barrymore having melanie lynskey and megan dodds on her talk show so they can dress up as their ever after characters to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the movie has me VERY thrilled

it’s so SILLY and i’m LIVING FOR IT

Someone sent me a message on Discord like "why is everyone obsessed with the Random Guy" in regards to the tags on my previous post. SO. I definitely rambled there but also I love this plot a whole lot and it's very dear to me so:

Tolliver is the "Just a Guy" who Kronos wants dead for stealing all of the Devil's focus. The thing is, Tolliver doesn't WANT the focus but not much he can do! He was born and his parents opted to sell /his/ soul to the succubi in exchange for wealth and fame. So while they retained souls (and then promptly died after ticking off the wrong people with their money and habits, coincidental deaths of course) he doesn't have that leniency. He can do whatever he wants and he'll still be dragged to Hell when he dies even if he's a saint. His soul is already waiting for him down there.

So the Devil is like "well, time to send low ranking demons after my living toy but I distinctly do not wish him dead yet" and that's not really a thing Tolliver knows. So he thinks if he doesn't really fight back he's just gonna die early and while he doesn't think it's nice on earth, he'd rather not start his eternal burning quite yet. So he uses a magic marker (literally) to ward off and banish the demons. That's why the Devil is invested in him - it's entertainment on earth with his future property!

Kronos going up to kill him and then failing and then becoming his roommate is actually the reason why other demons kinda track Tolliver. They're tracking Kronos. They need Kronos back in Hell come on stop loitering on earth buddy. (he continues to loiter on earth)

The siren is purely coincidental in that Tolliver sees her when it's cold and gives her his jacket completely unaware she isn't even human. Then we have one of the bad guys, The Boogeyman. He feeds off of nightmares and that means Tolliver is a delight since all he HAS is nightmares. Man's never had a good dream in his life. So it's a nice little "promised" meal but he ropes the Sandman into luring others to sleep for him to feed off of. Eventually Lady Luck gets involved with Boogie and she's a bit arrogant and childish (there's lore there) and then she sees Tolliver. Fighting against Boogie's grasp despite having nothing to fight for. And she decides he deserves one win in his life since it's clear that the hand he's been dealt sucks. And stops helping Boogie which ends up being his demise.

All the demons that directly interact with Tolliver aren't there for the random guy, honestly. They're there for Kronos. Who unfortunately is obsessed with Tolliver (and he's got such a weird gay crush on the guy and gets so emotionally distraught when Tolliver doesn't feel the same cause he doesn't feel anything for anyone because he doesn't have a soul and feels zero attachment.)

this is so bleak dude. what the fuck

Lunar: Do you ever feel like exploding? Have you experienced the urge to enter the process of combustion? Has your mind created a logical idea, known as thought, to disperse your body into thousands of particles suddenly?

Eclipse: It’s 3 am, please go back to sleep.

(OMG ASTERI POSTED SOMETHING ABOUT THEIR AU?!?! NOT JOKE???)

(Edit 1: LMK if you want more of these)

One nice thing about the strike is not having to see actors do that stupid clown dance for studios where they have to read comments on the internet off of note cards or tablets and attempt to make jokes about it for The Parasocial Fandom Engagement™.

When the actors come out of strike can we go back to promo where the actors tell really interesting industry stories while the talk show host doesn't say shit? I miss that stuff.

when someone's adam's apple is so prominent you get scared & start picturing it getting removed & shaved off with knives scalpels & scissors

what is it with all of yall reading at 12 am.

It was SO windy and the sun was in our eyes horrible pic but Steve Wilkos came to my work today lmaooo dude was huge I'm 6'1 for scale and I got a Steve Wilkos branded bottle opener thanks Steve!

me spending a day or 2 over the summer cutting out strategically marked sections of 'brick' from a flat feature wall so 3 dimensional bricks can be slotted in whyfore is the purpose of this

watching k*lly cl*rkson interview br*e l*rson but getting distracted everytime they focus on k*lly bc Oh they put Lights in the bricks I seee

not to pit women against each other or anything but it is ASTONISHING that we put up with Ellen so long when Drew Barrymore and Kelly Clarkson have been existing

i hate when people say that reid would never swear bc in the show he says bitch and son of a bitch multiple times which is the most swearing that was allowed in the show therfore if it had a higher rating he would swear so i cant help but feel like that opinion is purely the infantilisation of autistic people

Only the prospect of seeing Jared and Gen live would make me torture myself watching a daytime talk show. Especially when Red Meat is on the other channel at the same time.

Alyssa Farah Griffin Disappointed in Republican Turnout for Same-Sex Marriage Bill: “My Party Needs to Come Around”

Alyssa Farah Griffin is speaking for Republicans on The View, and she’s not afraid to admit her party is far behind on the times. After the Respect for Marriage Act passed in the Senate yesterday (Nov. 29), protecting both same-sex and interracial marriage, Griffin weighed in on the underwhelming GOP support for the bill, which only received 12 Republican votes. Her co-host, Sunny Hostin, noted…
