It's really cute that they've been making Fang a secret romantic. He's an emotional guy!
He's lighthearted naturally, has shown to get angry in his voicelines, and there's a passion in him that he wants something bigger than a dead end job.
(Cough cough.)
I say secret romantic by the way, because he's always covering up proof of it! He puts so much of himself into any kind of bond, but romantic ones take the cake.
Secret picture of Shelly ❣
Whoever he broke up with, he carries a picture of them around. He laments.
HIS BIGGEST SECRET IS WATCHING ROMANTIC MOVIES. PLEASSEEE
He keeps his favorite romantic films locked away.
It was totally his idea (out of the two) to ask Shelly out to the Tunnel of Love. Too bad Willow's a hater, lol.
sorry okay im rewatching whole cake w a friend and got obsessed with the vinsmokes this time around okay. sorry. however i am a liker of themes and motifs and doomed characters. sorrey.
like i feel insane. how many stories do we have of people becoming infected, and being permanently disabled or KILLED because One person around them didnt mask. does my lola being killed by someone in the nursing home not masking not matter coz its not Large Scale Collectivist Action? fucking hell
After watching the new spiderverse movie i just have to say I'm sorry but I'm against Caleb McLaughlin being miles. miles biggest story HIS IDENTITY is that he's Puerto Rican. Caleb isn't even latino. Like I'm sorry but there's so little representation of us (Puerto Ricans) in media i feel like we can't let big corporations making miles not Latino at all. What's the thing in that? I mean seriously. I live in Puerto Rico right and we all had such a good time watching the movie. Imagine knowing live action miles is not even latino. Erasing us. Erasing HIM. seriously. I've said it.
Not only is ’Fireborn’ by Derivakat a Fintan song, ‘Woe to the people of order’ by Mizz Fish (Cami-Cat cover) is a Evil!Bronte song.
You know what you are so right! Both songs tie into the characters accurately--though I must admit I'm not as well-versed in Evil!Bronte as others, but I figure simply expounding his character to the extremes is similar enough to get the gist.
For the Fintan song, one of the first connections I made was in the line "Like a phoenix on repeat (repeat) / You'll never burn me, you'll never burn me!" Partially for literal interpretations of how no flame but everblaze, something the kotlcrew doesn't have in their arsenal, can burn him. They literally cannot burn him, but interpreting it in a less literal sense I think it could speak to how none of what they say can damage or affect what he thinks. He's set in his ways, and nothing they say or do will dissuade him. He believes the system to be flawed and in need of complete reparation and overthrow, that his ideology is what it needs to be replaced with. He will not change. Then that ties into the phoenix imagery, as he's essentially trying to burn down the old system so his can rise from the ashes and take its place like a phoenix, which I think is a neat comparison
Then there's "You're playing by my rules (playing by my rules)," which I think aptly summarizes how the story went when he was in charge. There were secrets and plans to be uncovered, and uncovered they were, but despite that the Neverseen was always a step or two ahead so everyone else had to adjust themselves around him. He decided how things went, he was at the head of it all and couldn't be challenged. He held so many pieces and could lead people around, making everyone else play by his rules hoping to overcome them one day
For the Evil!Bronte song, the first lyric that stood out to me was "Now I release my beasts upon thee! / And I laughed in pain as I watched them all flee." There's the connection between pain and beasts and fleeing, and given how that all relates to inflicting I thought it fitting. Him using his pain, what he's been through (whatever the situation is for evil bronte), to force it onto others, releasing it on them like a beast that sends them running the other direction. This hatred, this heat, this force he keeps coiled inside of him to be expelled and controlled at his own whim. Perhaps the laughter comes from delight in hurting others, perhaps it comes from the relief of letting out such toxic vitriol, perhaps its a combination of the two. Either way, the negative imagery I think meshes well with an evil inflictor!
Then the line "i'm now friend to none / if you think you're a hero, then die like one" I think fits well with the loner kinda situation he's got going on. He's disliked and doesn't really have friends in canon, so I think that would go to a further extreme in an evil situation. He's pushed everyone away and it's just him and what he wants. And he's going to get it, whatever it takes, letting no one near. Those who think they can stand up to him and get in his way call themselves "heroes" but he doesn't care about those semantics. Hero, villain, evil, good, moral, immoral, it doesn't matter. He doesn't care what he's called as long as his goals are realized, as long as those who've wronged him realize it. So why should he care if someone calls themself a hero? Whatever. They can do what they want, but if they're going to be so bold they can't flee the consequences. It's disgusting self-flattery, but why not play with it before he gets them out of his way?
Both of these songs have so many great lines to compare to the characters, so don't think that they few I've selected encompass all the possibilities! There's the talk of being fireborn, of woe to those who called me a friend, and so much more that fits them so well! These songs as a whole fit really well, so thank you for bringing them to my attention!

In contrast with professional drag queens, who were only playing at being women onstage, [Esther] Newton learned that the very bottom of the gay social hierarchy was the province of street queens. In almost total contrast to professional queens, street queens were "the underclass of the gay world." Although they embraced effeminacy, too, they did so in the wrong place and for the wrong reason: in public and outside of professional work. As a result, Newton explained, the street queens "are never off stage. Their way of life is collective, illegal, and immediate." Because they didn't get paid to be feminine and were locked out of even the most menial of nightlife jobs, Newton observed that their lives were perceived to revolve around "confrontation, prostitution, and drug 'highs'." Even in a gay underworld where everyone was marked as deviant, it was the sincere street queens who tried to live as women who were punished most for what was celebrated-and paid-as an act onstage. When stage queens lost their jobs, they were often socially excluded like trans women. Newton explained that when she returned to Kansas City one night during her fieldwork, she learned that two poor queens she had met had recently lost their jobs as impersonators. Since then, they had become "indistinguishable from street fairies," growing out their hair long and wearing makeup in public-even "passing" as girls in certain situations," in addition to earning a reputation for taking pills. They were now treated harshly by everyone in the local scene. Most people wouldn't even speak to them in public. Professional drag queens who didn't live as women still had to avoid being seen as too "transy" in their style and demeanor. One professional queen that Newton interviewed explained why: it was dangerous to be transy because it reinforced the stigma of effeminacy without the safety of being onstage. "I think what you do in your bed is your business," he told Newton, echoing a middle-class understanding of gay privacy, "[but] what you do on the street is everybody's business."
The first street queen who appears in Mother Camp is named Lola, a young Black trans girl who is "becoming a woman,' as they say'." Newton met Lola at her dingy Kansas City apartment, where she lived with Tiger, a young gay man, and Godiva, a somewhat more respectable queen. What made Godiva more respectable than Lola wasn't just a lack of hormonal transition. It was that Godiva could work as a female impersonator because she wasn't trying to sincerely live as a woman. Lola, on the other hand, was permanently out of work because being Black and trans made her unhireable, including in female impersonation. When Newton entered their apartment, which had virtually no furniture, she found Lola lying on "a rumpled-up mattress on the floor" and entertaining three "very rough-looking young men." These kinds of apartments, wrote Newton, "are not 'homes.' They are places to come in off the street." The extremely poor trans women who lived as street queens, like Lola, "literally live outside the law," Newton explained. Violence and assault were their everyday experiences, drugs were omnipresent, and sex work was about the only work they could do. Even if they didn't have "homes," street queens "do live in the police system."
As a result of being policed and ostracized by their own gay peers, Newton felt that street queens were "dedicated to "staying out of it" as a way of life. "From their perspective, all of respectable society seems square, distant, and hypocritical. From their 'place' at the very bottom of the moral and status structure, they are in a strategic position to experience the numerous discrepancies between the ideals of American culture and the realities." Yet, however withdrawn or strung out they were perceived to be, the street queens were hardly afraid to act. On the contrary, they were regarded by many as the bravest and most combative in the gay world. In the summer of 1966, street queens in San Francisco fought back at Compton's Cafeteria, an all-night venue popular with sex workers and other poor gay people. After management had called the police on a table that was hanging out for hours ordering nothing but coffee, an officer grabbed the arm of one street queen. As the historian Susan Stryker recounts, that queen threw her coffee in the police officer's face, "and a melee erupted." As the queens led the patrons in throwing everything on their tables at the cops-who called for backup-a full-blown riot erupted onto the street. The queens beat the police with their purses "and kicked them with their high-heeled shoes." A similar incident was documented in 1959, when drag queens fought back against the police at Cooper's Donuts in Los Angeles by throwing donuts-and punches. How many more, unrecorded, times street queens fought back is anyone's guess. The most famous event came in 1969, when street queens led the Stonewall rebellion in New York City. Newton shares in Mother Camp that she wasn't surprised to learn it was the street queens who carried Stonewall. "Street fairies," she wrote, "have nothing to lose."
