Welcome!

Hey! So you've stumbled across this neat little blog here! Good for you! Speaking of you, why don't you take a moment to stay, yeah? We've got a lot to talk about.

A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME

I'm JJ! You can call me JJ, Dawn, Hyde (pronounced hei-dee), or whatever else!

pronouns are he/they/she, preference for he!

infp

I've been writing for a very, very long time, ever since I was a kid!

I love love love love fantasy!

my WIPs

The Devil's Playground

genre: fantasy horror

themes: supernatural, murder mystery, Scream-like

blurb: The death of Liam Betchell's boyfriend on the eve of the Blood Moon sends him spiraling. He can't focus, can't think, can't do anything except try and figure out who took his boyfriend from his. But the dreams of the devil that haunt him at night only help confirm that someone in his friend group is a killer, maybe even two someones. In order to figure out who is behind all this, and why they're doing it, he has to learn who to trust...and who not to trust.

A Test Of Unity

genre: fantasy sci-fi

themes: found family, revenge, spaceships, lots of gunfights (pew pew), SPACE!

blurb: General Cressida von Alder-Prescott Rataleene, leader of Midnight Squadron, daughter of legendary UNITY Admiral Skeeter, is stuck-proverbially, sometimes literally-in the middle of a firefight. The Federation moving through the Axios System took everything from her, and she'd be damned to lose anything else. With her friend(?) Cowan at her side, she has the determination to get back what was stolen from her.

Book Of A Godkiller

genre: fantasy

themes: academia, gay, friends to lovers, dark mafia

blurb: When Jeremy Goodman is accepted into the Philosopher's School of Misfits and Outcasts after developing his superpowers, he doesn't know what to do. To be a true Elemental Shifter, he must master his control over light, but there's always hurdles-like his best friend who showed up after four years of no contact, or the fling he had becoming the guy he tutors, or the Godkiller Jackson, who he can't seem to place a reason as to why he can't keep his eyes off Jeremy.

Good to meet you all! I hope to have fun here!

all the oppenheimer shit has been so annoying for so many reasons like truly one of the most ”dont ever mention this shit to me ever again” pop culture moments in a while. AND from multiple angles to boot because like yes there are good reasons to critize the movie, both from the angle of ”why does this movie even exist” and for the actual shit in the film, or rather the lack of mention for things like downwinders or the way the manhattan project that oppenheimer helmed displaced and exploited the local population in Nm.

but like a lot of the criticism is boiled down by its defenders to ”people are upset that there arent scenes of random nameless japanese civilians dying in this BIOPIC about a single guy” when… i dont think anyone is actually saying that. a more honest rebuttal would be something like ”well the effects and aftermath of the bombs has been thoroughly explored in japanese literature and cinema, by the people directly affected by them, and the exclusion of the suffering of japanese civilians in oppenheimer is also a direct reflection on how the man himself did not care nor did the american military leadership at large” which to be fair i have seen people make and thats a fair point!! but it can still co exist with the observation that wide spread acknowledgement of the suffering of the people of NM has never been given main stream time of day even when its something thats causing pain and grief to this day. and people have the right to question if a 3h movie about oppenheimer even needs to exist, and can it even exist with out glorifying the man in one way or another even if looks at oppenheimer the person and his actions critically. in which case its fair to ask ”should this have even been made, was it worth it?”

but then the shit that makes the public discourse actually intolerably annoying and infuriating is the people making jokes about nukes and about people who rightfully point out how devastating they and the manhattan project were (the other day i saw a woman on twitter talking about how her grandmother grew up near the test sites and how most of her peers developed leukimia, and she was met with replies making fun of her grandmother with the fucking coughing baby meme), the wave of sympathy (intentional or not) the movie has generated towards oppenheimer the person (ive seen people treat him like hes a fictional character?? especially with all the barbenheimer shit) and the usual surface level criticisms like ”oh the movie doesnt pass the betchel test :(” that make all criticism of the movie look stupid simply through association. like lets all kill our selfs at this point ok and never speak of this movie ever again. ok.

This is my second apology of the day.

The first one was for Tom King as I recognized that Riddler One Bad Day was actually a good comic and now to Tim Seeley.

I once said Prelude to the Wedding: Batigrl vs Riddler was one my least favorite comics out there but I was wrong. Completly underseved hate.

The worse part was that I insinuated and outright sayed that this masterpiece in female power was misognistic when actually is the proof that Tim Seeley should be the only person allowed to depict woman in any media.

I love how Barbara is not the focal point of a Batgirl story. I adore how her only personal baggage is her crush on Nightwing and what Riddler's obcession with her helped her with it? Because nothing helps you realize your feelings like a creepy incel trying to force himself on you. And having soo little talk on your comic? Perfect. The main hero should rarely speak.

Now let's go to our real protagonist. Riddler. For everyone who thinks Eddie should be an incel this comic is for you! Get ready for his complete and absolute mistreatment of woman. Now the real feminist strive here is that he isn't wrong about woman, he somehow did sleep with a lot of them even if he talks like the most bitchless man alive and calls them "females", Batgirl is special BECAUSE she doesn't fit Riddler's expectations. And Riddler is evil because he hurts people. The misoginy is just a quirk.

I remember being pissed about how after soo long without Query and Echo appearing they have an appearance here where they are presented as woman Edward slept with. And besides the whole ass never adressed mess of sleeping of your employeer is just so refreshing that they took away the coment about Riddler being respectfull and not touching the girls and turned it into the classic villain sleeps with henchgirls. It is a classic for a reason and this reason is not the objetification of woman is because is absolutly true.

Riddler revealing he is attracted by only inteligent people and therefore choose Batgirl as his new beau even though they never met before is really classy and logical. Nevermind this is the only comic any of this is mentioned and before and after he is showed having queer coded scenes with Joker (including having Joker draw a fucking heart on his chest after killing everyone else in the room). And is really a victory for queer people that Joker somehow is the better option. So thank you, Tim Seeley for your services, you should also be the only one to write queer characthers.

Also I love how this comic doesn't even pass the Betchel test. True feminism at it's purest form.

#april fools #riddler #edward nygma #edward nigma #edward nasthon #people that think riddler should be an incel should read this comic and then see if they still want that #incel characthers are not fun peeps #batgirl #barbara gordon #batgirl vs riddle prelude to the wedding #i hate this comic soo much

i had this random thought and not to be all “reverse sexism” but why is it that female disney characters are held to such a high standard? like their male counterparts suck (with exception to Flynn Rider and Robin Hood) and have little to no other ambition than wanting a beautiful princess??! i bet that most of them (especially the earlier ones) don’t even pass the reverse betchel test. I am all for having strong female characters I just find it interesting that specifically Disney has to uphold this very idealized image of women but any cardboard cutout of a male works I guess..

Yeah how about not erasing gay males for just once,you got enough lesbian content out there let gay males have a chance just once other then being comic fodder or pity characters. I'm sorry but I am really tired of not being allowed to exist or even speak about how I feel.

Areyou smoking crack? Are you on crack? Are you even gay or just denseand on crack?

Anyway I feel very talkative today,so here you go, my crack-smoking friend:

JoelSchumacher, the director of the original Lost Boys movie and anopenly gay man himself wanted to do a Lost Girls movie. Here are hiswords on this matter:

“ I told them to do ‘Lost Girls’ and not do ‘Lost Boys Sequel. There is no ‘Lost Boys‘ sequel. All the boys are dead. But The Lost Boys are all dead. The Coreys are too old. So what would be the movie? You’d have to make up a whole new set of characters.“

Source: https://editorial.rottentomatoes.com/article/joel-schumacher-lost-in-lost-boys-sequel/

Bymaking another installment in the same universe, be it a literalsequel or not, you’re not erasing the first movie. It’s stillgonna be there. It’s still gonna be canon. After all, it’s theoriginal. What was even that about? Can you tell me, mycrack-smoking friend?

Iabsolutely agree with you that gay men are too often written as comicfodder or pity characters which does need to change. I also know thatgay men, as other members of LGBT community are more often than notnot allowed to speak about their experiences and that far too manypeople prefer to pretend they don’t exist at all. It’s the samewith lesbians, my crack-smoking friend.

Isaved the best for last, my crack-smoking friend, so here we go: Canyou pleaseshow me this abundanceof lesbian content that is not highly unrealistic pornography meantfor heterosexual men? PLEASE???LikeI struggle with finding decent movies with female leads or any decentmovies that actually pass Betchel test and where all femalecharacters of importance are not related to each other because incestis just plain gross?? Just for an example, Iam also really deep into Marvel and Captain Marvel is still the onlymovie they made in more than 10 years where you have two women that are not related have meaningfulconversation?? And it was released just earlier this month?? Most movies in general don’t even feature enough prominent female characters for a decenthetero romance, let alone a lesbian one?? Andeven when there is a female character she’s usually nowhere near ascool or interesting-looking as any of the Lost Boys??

AnywayI know you’re probably some weirdo baiting me but I felt like itwould be nice to explain why would such a movie be kinda necessaryand you gave me a perfect opportunity so thanks, my crack-smokingfriend. And please drop me the titles of all these lesbian moviesthat apparently exist.

I have watched Wolfwalkers and I have to say it lives up to the hype. It’s a creative take on the classic werewolf story.

It’s one of the few animated movies I can definitely watch all the way through in theaters.

I enjoyed the song cover of Running with the Wolves and the scene where Robyn and Mebh are just wild and free in the moonlite night.

I teared up at the scene where Mebh was trying to heal her mother with her wolf magic and the reunion with Mebh, her mother, Robyn and the entire wolfpack.

I also appreciate how well this movie passed the Betchel test and how the main cast mostly consists of female characters and how much they carry the story.

Cartoon Saloon deserves all the accolades for creating another gem like this

Flat Out Celeste

Tuesday, June 26th

1:43 PM with these Ivy League dreams, bet Celeste will end up in Cali with Justin. Watch her go into liberal arts instead of science. She’s clearly great at it all. Matt has science down to pat. Whoever Justin is. Is Barton another made up school?

Oh interesting. He’s the recruiter… 1:44

Oh. He was so good at teaching Julie…wow, 5 years ago? He’s surely going to follow his mother and become a professor. What if he teaches at an ivy too? I’d expect nothing else. It would be funny if he went to Celestes college but she’s def going to California. 13:48

What the heck happened in these 5 years? I mean, they had sex. Know that. Of course they’re getting back together. Matt is 26 now. He needs to act like it. Also, what’s with this author and a 2 year age difference? 13:51

Hahaha “then he stumbled and I did not catch him” that does pretty much sum it up, huh? 16:23

Oh I hope he fumbled with the door like Julie! 16:41

I appreciate Celeste. She turned down friendship, but she had to initiate them later. Relatable. Not even initiate, just be ready to not push them away. 16:54

Remember when Celeste did not like Julies alliterative update for Finn? 17:14

Is there always going to be lifesavers in these books? I guess…love is a lifesaver. From being sad or insecure or just a little down in the dumps. It’s just very reminiscent of Flat Out Love. 17:17

Subtle adding that Dallas thinks Celeste dresses nicely. Apparently her mother does as well. Interesting. 17:18

As you wish? She doesn’t love him yet! 17:20

Hahaha throw back to when Celeste began being sassy. I could see a shrug smile hair flip as she goes “or midnight”! 17:34

We get it. It’s not Julie. There’s no “fixing” complex here. 17:36 he’s right though. You fix yourself

Got it. He’s poor but will pay for her. Will that be a point in the book? Probably. The fact that he mentioned he had this job for extra money, maybe. 17:43

Do they get mad at each other then return to the tree to rekindle the love? That’s only one month of love…maybe they take it and hide it. 20:48

Justin is a wordsmith too? How Matt like. 21:05

Looks like Matt will see Julie in this impromptu Cali trip. Was he going to propose??? Saved up. 21:57

Please tell me the mysterious things she got were condoms because she went into Mats room accidentally and she’s going to be so confused and everyone will be shook! Maybe that’s a little far fetched. 21:58

Another phobia and display of love theough technology? So reminiscent of FOL 22:00

How amazing would it be if Julie was in the room with Matt? 10:15

HAHAHAHAHA the theee of us. Justin, you, and me. A trio. Just a small group. 10:19 of two

Ya think he photoshopped pictures of Celeste and himself so they’re eating Indian food together in the pictures? Tb to FOL 22:24

So, like, someone is either slipping down this cliff or hooking up on that beach, right? 22:30

Oh will we get into his past romances? 22:32

Justin predicting Celeste shutting people down like she did in the beginning of the book. 22:34 he gets her

Don’t tell me…is Helvética in comic sans? I wonder if Julie got that for him. 22:43

Haha I can imagine Matt defensively telling her she's being more than a little high strung 22:45HAHAHA Celeste forcing them to take two cars and Matt being like wtf okay ms thing 22:47woah throw back to when Celeste got Julie to come to Flat Finns going away party and Matt and Julie got together. What a matchmaker. She stayed resilient and tenacious. Wow Flat Finn...those were the days. That's so fricken creepy 22:48omg "I assumed you'd be here with Roger or Erin" throwback to when she met with Celeste every Sunday and requested Matt never accompany them. Wowza how the circle has...turned...come full circle 22:51 Omg Julie shut the fuck up. Celeste asked y'all not to fight anymore...ya know. 5 years ago. Rip. Rip Finn 22:55 She's like her mom in that car. Is her like imminent almost death going to being Julie and Matt back together? Because I'm a little tired of that story line. 22:58 Jesus fricken ---I'm tired clearly. The swears come out. Is she suicidal? Now she's going to hurt Justin? Golly - so many swears in my mind. Ahh 23:01 ouch imminent I forgot my vocabulary shrinks too She sounds possessed and scary and I'm imagining her very robotic and stiff intonation wise. It's creepy. 23:04 She's so fricken mortified of Flat Finn. It just takes her back to her weakest moments. She was lying about a lot. It makes sense Matt wanted to stay near her. That's a big part of who he is and Julie knows that. Something else fizzled. I thought it was going to go like she was pregnant then and he didn't want to keep it or something I knew wasn't going to happen. 23:06 FRICK now she's actually talking in monotone like a possessed person? Freaky...23:06 Wow, Justin called it retroactively as well as post actively. If that's a thing. She has an issue acknowledging people actually like her... 23:09 A job interview? In California, by chance? 23:19 I can't believe matt just said passing over conversation with my intellect...that's so funny. You want to hate it, but it's so funny. Because he's kidding. I see. I see what this books message is. People will love you even if you're unlovable and try to express that. So, might as well be lovable if you're trying to protect them from yourself. I needed that when I was 18. And 16. And now. And all the time before. 23:15 Yep yep. I knew those notes were going to be game changing. 23:18 Hinges? Like...Flat Finn? 23:23 It's true. Matt is the only one with her. Honestly, you can say she didn't need him, but she just blew up. It's not unfair for him to fear that if he left not unlike Finn...right? 23:29 I appreciate how Matt also thinks something is wrong with him. This is a screwed up group of people. Julie is the only normal one and she is kind of pompous and self absorbed. It works for her though 23:31 oh haha I thought Celeste proudly saying "then you clean it up" was referring to her demanding Matt to clean up the confetti Finn 23:33 ahhh when it said he rocked back and forth my delirious mind picture him like a penguin with shoulders raised grinning and tittering. 23:35 like FOL I think we need to run a Béchamel, obviously I know it's not a French sauce, but like Betchel maybe? Test on it. I swear, the only girl is a side friend who only talks about the love interest or her own love interest 23:38 Oh my heart. The Finn emails - best part of it as well as the banter between Julie and Matt 23:46 it was a better book than this one. Obvious twist was supposed to be obvious. You had to know it for some of the jokes. It's good to be obvious to everyone but the narrator even though it's third person. It just would've worked better in first person. She's obvious about things, but it feels good. There's only one puzzle piece you need to put in because she does the rest and lets you say you finished the puzzle. 23:47 The messaging session that may have left her head, but never her heart. It was a good book. I want to amp it up to 5 on good reads. It's so solid halfway through, I feel. I can't remember the first half though. Blah. Blah school. Blah blah I look good blah blah celeste needs to be changed. 23:50 Matt in full suit and tie my heart. Author is good at story tellingly and what to tell and what not to. It's true. It's like only the important parts were kept, but you feel like life between them. The thought, the nerves, the doubts. 23:53 all this "so they did" "so She does" like it's reminiscent of Point of Retreat. It was cute when it was I dos then the so he did. Or whatever. This is cute. It's a 4 if FOL is 4.5 23:55 That fucking shirt. He knew. He saved it. That fucking shirt. Like his sky diving shirt. Wow swear words are fun to think and say in your head. I guess that's thinking. 23:57 it's like weird they haven't talked in two years, right? Regardless of still being in love. People change in two years. People change in like a month. 23:58 you can even marry Harry...nowadays. Anyway, cute, but when have either of them quoted anyone? Also, tbh thought it'd be that one celestial quote. I like this more though. 00:01 shit I was supposed to go to bed when I went in bed like two and a half hours ago. Weird ending. Not gonna lie. Liked FOL just in general a lot better. A lot less choppy. Granted, less character growth, but better development of different characters. Better love story. Better tension. This had a good message though. I like it and am glad I read it. I imagine it has a higher rating on GR because the people who read FOL and loved it continued. Inherent bias. It was sweet. FOL was better. End of story. Better ending. Have I said these things already? I'm reading too much again. 5 books 4 days. All over 300 pages. Not impossible just not wise, I'd say. You better believe I'm reading another tomorrow. I love it. It helps me escape. I shouldn't escape so much. I should learn how to sleep. I appreciate reading and remembering details because everything else means so much more if you see the Easter eggs. That's why I try to read people and remember anything they say. I can start to understand them and living is just that much better. 00:14 this is going to look so ugly formatting wise
