Creepypasta Headcanons: Sully Woods

(Note: Some of these headcanons were inspired by the 2015 reboot of Jeff the Killer and one of them was inspired by a rumor based around the Jeff the Killer image)

(TW: Abuse, bullying, suicide and murder)

In my AU, Sully is actually Liu's younger twin instead of an alter or demon possessing Liu.

Like Liu, he is 33 years old as of currently and he is also 8 years old than Jeff.

He is 7 minutes younger than Liu even though he acts like he's older than Liu.

He and Liu were basically inseparable like they were always around each other and never left each other's side for a minute.

Growing up, it was always hard to tell which twin was Sully and which one was Liu so Sully has gotten used to people confusing him for Liu.

Sully has hated Jeff ever since Jeff was a baby because he thinks he was the reason the family fell apart and their dad didn't have time for him anymore due to working overtime.

Before Jeff was born, Sully was taught by his father how to use a BB gun.

Like Liu, he is half Korean and curses in Korea whenever he doesn't get his way or gets very pissed off.

When Jeff and Liu started to bond as brothers, Sully started to get jealous of Jeff because of how close they bonded. So as a result, Sully would do what normal jealous would do and try to get rid of Jeff such as dropping off to live with the Hopkins (their next door neighbors at the time) and shaving off his hair.

As he got older, he got borderline abusive towards Jeff. There was one time he yelled at Jeff and threw his Rubix cube at him for coming into his room in the middle of the night without his permission when Jeff had a nightmare (Liu was at a sleepover at that time).

Sully was a perfect son in his parents' eyes. Always getting good grades, never getting trouble at school, and even winning Student of the Month awards. If there was anything that he could do to make his parents and himself look good, he would do it.

He listens to rock, pop, and rap. The most common song he would play when he's driving his Honda is Pumped Up Kicks as it reminds him of what he will do once he catches Jeff.

He and Jane only get along due to their mutual hatred of Jeff.

He's only nice towards anyone who isn't associated with Jeff.

When Jeff was burned alive by the bullies, the only thing Sully cared about was how damaged Jeff's face would be.

He has a dark sense of humor.

At age 18, he got a scholarship to an art school where he would meet and become best friends with Bloody Painter.

His favorite artists is Van Goug.

Before the night Jeff snapped, Sully at one point photoshopped one of Jeff's photos and made him look like a serial killer. He would later plaster it on the internet which humiliated Jeff to the point where he nearly committed suicide. Sully would then say that Jeff was being too sensitive and it was only a joke. This would be one of the reasons why Jeff would snap.

He drives a 2024 Honda CR-V.

During the night Jeff had snapped, Sully would escape the house by sneaking out of the window and left his twin to suffer in the hands of Jeff without noticing.

A year after he escaped from Jeff's rampage, he would later release a autobiography called "Jeff the Killer: A Love for Blood" which tells the Jeff the Killer story in Sully's POV. He twisted the story up by making up lies about Jeff such as being an abusive brother towards Liu and getting addicted to painkillers after getting out of the hospital.

He lives in a penthouse that he bought when his book became an overnight seller.

His favorite food is ramen.

He firmly believes Randy was innocent and that Jeff should've died that night he was burned.

He still loves his twin, Liu while Liu still hates him for everything he has done to him and Jeff.

He doesn't murder innocent people but rather anyone who is associated with Jeff or anyone who tries to debunk his lies. He is determined to keep his crimes secret so he won't have his reputation get ruined.

He smokes as a way to destress.

JACKSONVILLE, FL – The Florida widow of slain Microsoft executive Jared Bridegan faced her husband's accused killer for the first time in court Monday before asking for his help to end "this nightmare."

Bridegan's widow and the mother of his two youngest children, Kirsten Bridegan; his brothers Adam and Justin Bridegan; and more than a dozen other family members and friends packed the gallery.

Kirsten Bridegan wept as suspect Henry Tenon, 61, entered the courtroom wearing glasses and a white face mask that covered his gray beard. The hearing lasted less than five minutes.

Tenon's attorney, Matt Bodie, entered a not guilty plea on his behalf to charges of second-degree murder, conspiracy to commit murder, accessory after the fact and child abuse for the Feb. 16, 2022, killing that left four children fatherless.

MAJOR BREAK IN JARED BRIDEGAN MURDER MYSTERY AFTER EX-WIFE MOVES CROSS-COUNTRY

Judge Roberto Arias adjourned the case to March 21 and set a trial date of July 19.

Kirsten Bridegan, flanked by her family and friends, grew tearful as she read a brief statement in the lobby of the Duval County Courthouse.

FLORIDA EX-WIFE OF SLAIN MICROSOFT EXECUTIVE HIRES CRIMINAL DEFENSE LAWYER

"Honesty, I think it's still sinking in," the shattered widow said of seeing Tenon for the first time. "To think that might have been one of the last people my husband saw is kind of a hard pill to swallow."

Jared Bridegan was gunned down in front of his then-2-year-old daughter, Bexley, after he was lured from his car by a tire placed in the middle of the road in an upscale suburb of Jacksonville Beach.

FLORIDA POLICE, STATE ATTORNEY ANNOUNCE ARREST IN MURDER OF MICROSOFT EXECUTIVE JARED BRIDEGAN

Court papers say Tenon, who was arrested Jan. 25, carefully plotted the cold-blooded killing of the 33-year-old software developer for six weeks with at least one accomplice. Prosecutors haven’t said whether Tenon pulled the trigger.

During the press conference, Kirsten Bridegan said the family knows that he is only one piece of this puzzle, and they will fight until each person responsible for the heinous murder is brought to justice.

FLORIDA PERSONAL TRAINER CONFIRMS ALLEGED AFFAIR WITH EX-WIFE OF SLAIN MICROSOFT EXEC

In her final statement, she made a plea directly to Tenon.

"Henry, if you get to hear this, please choose now to do the right thing. Please help us receive justice sooner than later," she said. "Please help us in this nightmare that we are living every single day."

She told Tenon's family that they were in her prayers. "We can only imagine the hurt and the pain you must also be feeling," she said.

Fox News Digital was the first to report that Tenon has a surprising connection to Bridegan’s ex-wife Shanna Gardner-Fernandez.

Tenon lived in a home owned by Gardner-Fernandez's husband, Mario Fernandez, at the time of the murder. Tenon also worked as a handyman for Fernandez.

Gardner-Fernandez and Fernandez remain suspects in the slaying, according to law-enforcement sources.

Minutes before Jared Bridegan was repeatedly shot, he had dropped off the now-10-year-old twins he shares with Gardner-Fernandez at her home nearby.

Jared Bridegan and Gardner-Fernandez, who both remarried, had a contentious divorce and continued to battle in court over custody of their twins and finances until his death.

Shortly before their divorce, she asked a tattoo parlor staffer if he knew anyone who could "shut him up," apparently referring to Bridegan.

Melissa Nelson, State Attorney for the Fourth Judicial District, announced the major break in the case at a press conference last month and suggested that more arrests were forthcoming.

"We know that Tenon did not act alone," she said at the time. Tenon is being held without bail.

Blue Exorcist 10th anniversary book Q&A session

The 10th anniversary book has a section where Katoh answers 100 questions submitted by fans on Twitter, so here they are translated/paraphrased! May contain manga spoilers up to the recent flashback arc, so be warned.

(Note that I’m playing it very fast and loose here because there are A HUNDRED OF THEM, so not exact wordings, but it should capture the gist. Lemme know if there are any you want elaborated on)

1. Katoh likes the feel of traditional drawing more than digital but is impressed with how far digital has come

2. Meph THOROUGHLY ABUSES spacetime to watch all his shows and ensure that he gets all the merch he wants

3. Did the girls take all of Yukio’s school uniform buttons in middle school? Yes, they did (apparently it’s like A Thing for girls to ask for a button from their crush at middle school graduation, based on some sad movie from the 60s where a guy who got drafted as a kamikaze pilot gave a girl one of his uniform buttons to remember him by)

4. Rin's tail is about a meter long

5. There are tons of servants working at Mephisto's mansion. Belial is in charge of them

6. Katoh borrows from all sorts of neat real locations when making settings

7. Katoh identifies with pretty much all the characters the most! Except Lucifer.

8. Demon designs she's proud of include the impure king and hachirou, pretty much anything that was the main one in an arc

9. Katoh lists a bunch of her favorite musical artists/music she’s listening to recently: King Gnu, Official Hige Dandism, Kenshi Yonezu, BAD HOP, Sakanaction, Keyakizaka 46, Hypnosis Mic, Aimer, B’Z, Queen Bee.

10. Awww the rabbit manga that characters are often reading isn't just Robo to Usakichi, it's an even older one that she drew as a little kid

11. She likes industrial style interior designs

12. Rin and Yukio alternated who got the top bunk growing up, because they couldn't agree on it lol

13. Katoh cares a whole lot about panel layouts and speech bubble positions, might even be her favorite part of the process (it shows!)

4. Katoh does NOT have a mashou, lol

15. Rin has probably been practicing in secret so he can learn to carry stuff with his tail

16. Izumo probably got into shojo manga around 1st grade, her mom had some around the house

17. Specialty dishes: Rin - lots of stuff but especially nabe Yuri - stuff you can throw together quickly Shiro - stuff he learned from Yuri and/or cookbooks, alongside teaching Rin Yukio - Does. Not. Cook.

18. Can't pick a favorite place she's been on research, but there's no place like Japan

19. Kinzou's band isn't currently meeting because demons, but he's probably still thinking of new songs

20. Hardest characters to draw: anyone with detailed flowing hair. Hardest to write for: Lightning and Gedouin. She had to go read books about serial killers specifically for material for Gedouin, lol

21. Suguro actually gets a dorm room to himself, though allegedly Yukio is technically assigned as his roommate, lol. Didn't end up that way what with Yukio being a teacher and also Rin’s whole...situation

22. Shiemi makes some of her own hair accessories! Cute

23. Katoh doesn't mind if you include stuff with fan letters but check with the editor first

24. Time for making each chapter: Planning/storyboarding: 1-5 days. Sketching: 3-5 days. Drawing/inking: the rest. Just...the rest of the time

25. Neither Suguro nor Izumo have dated before and neither is currently dating. But that's probably just because things were hectic for them! It could happen

26. Yukio breaks 5 or 6 pairs of glasses a year, someone get this kid a strap or something

27. How many spare glasses does Yukio have? Check the fanbook lol it's in there (dang it Katoh)

28. The demon she wants us to pay the most attention to is Lucifer. Because plot.

29. What's under the Order's big meeting table? It's a BOTTOMLESS PIT and if you fall in it you DIE that's what makes it COOL (laughs)

30. What are the job requirements for the angelic legion? Literally just Arthur liking you and inviting you to join

31. She WANTS to do more character profiles but just hasn't gotten to it

32. Rin's tail feels like a cat tail, texture wise

33. The "red Assiah fire" is literally just actual fire nothing special

34. Rin's current hair color is light blue fading to white at the ends

35. Thoughts on Rin's growth: she likes that he stays positive in awful situations and she also thinks it's very main character of him to face the past instead of avoiding it

36. Mephisto didn't purposely surround Rin with stuffed animals when he woke up after going crispy. Mephisto's bed is just Like That

37. Kurikara was based on a cool sword she found in a sword book, but that one was technically just a ceremonial sword. The symbol on it us a Sanskrit letter kaan (sp?) associated with Fudou Myouou

38. Kuro can communicate with normal cats and hangs out with them often

39. Sometimes Shiemi's skirt is extra fancy around the hem what's up with that? Apparently it's an optional accessory that comes with the skirts help I haven't noticed this and don't know any fashion terms in any language

40. When coloring, Katoh always tries to have an overall theme in mind ("emphasis on blue" etc) so it comes together in the end

41. Yes the twins are genetically related to Shiro because of Goro (she says they're like his nephews but I say GENETICALLY at least they'd be indistinguishable from his children)

42. Strongest mom of all the strong moms around here? Yuri! Did you SEE her give birth??

43. Are you careful about your own health Katoh-sensei? Not particularly! Her mom has had to bring her food at work sometimes! Don't do this at home kids

44. At the dating events Shura goes to, does she drink cocktails in moderation? Yeah, she probably downplays her normal drinking habits at these things. But normally she's down for just about any kind of drink

45. Lucifer just really likes oysters okay

46. How many pages of manga does Katoh draw in a day? If she's being good about self-care: three. Maximum number ever: TEN

47. Mephisto is one of those folks who can eat like a garbage compactor and never gain weight. Possibly because his body resists that sort of change the same way it resists aging etc

48. First food Rin cooked: fish burger type patty. Yukio's favorite things Rin cooks: fish simmered in soy sauce, yellowtail with daikon radish. It's fish all the way down

49: Did Rin ever get more monthly allowance from Mephisto? It doubled! He gets TWO 2000 yen bills now (rip) [T/N: That's uh, that's USD $37.26 a month or 33.10 euro]

50. Why isn't Rin more popular with the girls? He gets nervous talking to them, plus he's too oblivious to notice even if he DID have some fans

51. Why change Suguro's hair? She gets bored with keeping everything the same, and she wanted a visual representation that he was getting serious and going into kind of a training arc

52. Things Katoh pays extra attention to when drawing: trying to capture the feel of whatever she's drawing (like "that looks warm and soft" or "I bet that guy stinks" cough Lightning cough)

53: Does Rin take after Yuri more? (He's got her eyes!) Katoh tried to draw Yuri so she looks like both twins. Personality, too - Yukio has her smarts and Rin has her optimism

54: Do you ever wanna be like Mephisto? Well she'd like to be able to get away with just ANYTHING EVER, but no, let's not be like Mephisto

55. Konekomaru not only carries around a cat toy in case he meets any cats, he MAKES cat toys to carry around based on what he thinks the cats would like

56. How'd you come up with Shima? Go read the fan book!

57. Do the kids have Twitter/Instagram accounts? Rin - probably not. Konekomaru might be on some social media. Paku and Izumo are totally on instagram

58. Is there something Rin makes that you wish you could try? All of it! That's the whole idea! He's good at cooking!

59. Will we ever have a (G-rated) reveal of what ALL of Mamushi and her family's tattoos look like? Maybe! She'll think about it

60. Does Arthur have a repertoire of different hairstyles? Not really, he just puts some of it up on the top. Heck he might even have people to do that for him

61. If you wrote a shojo manga what would it be about? She'd have to do a lot of research before even coming up with a story, since there are so many style differences between the genres aside from just the subject

62. The other two of Mephisto's top 3 favorite foods: Cup ramen and....f-fried bubblegum?? Is that a THING???

63. Where do you start when drawing a character? Usually the outline of their face but if it's a complex pose/composition she'll start with whatever's in the foreground (like hands)

64. If Katoh could have a familiar, what demon would she choose? Mephisto. As the all-powerful author, she might actually be able to command him as a familiar!

66. If you swapped Yukio and Rin's relationship around what would change? not much, you'd pretty much have Rin going to the Illuminati and Yukio going to the past

67. Top 3 foods/souvenirs to try in Kyushu? Well she doesn't know what’s good CURRENTLY but when she was there she always used to like burdock tempura udon, hakata torimon (a kind of manju with white bean paste inside), and Chikae style cod roe. today I learned Katoh went to high school in Kyushu

68. Katoh listens to music a lot while she's storyboarding, then when she and the assistants are all drawing and inking they put various videos/movies and stuff on in the background

69. For all his hitting on girls, is Shima actually popular with the ladies at all? He's got enough girls in his life that he probably COULD find a girlfriend if he really wanted, but the double agent thing tends to get in the way. He still wouldn't be as popular as Yukio though (side thought/translator’s note: Shima would be proud of being number 69.)

70. Katoh has the ending planned out in a big-picture way, but there are still a few details here and there that she's fretting over

71. It's cute when the boys put their ties over their shoulders when they're working on something! Where'd that come from? She just figured a tie might get in the way and that seemed like a realistic way to get it out of the way

72. Looks like Yukio is getting some facial hair! What about Rin? They're both about the age for it, but maybe Rin can't grow a beard yet. Maybe a little peach fuzz here and there

73. Katoh's favorite blue exorcist merch? There were some exorcist licenses a while back, and the exorcist pins. Basically it's really cool that these little accessories she drew ACTUALLY EXIST NOW, LIKE YOU CAN HOLD THEM IN YOUR HANDS

74. Okay realtalk how long do we have left, I don't want the series to end yet? We're solidly in the second half by now but it's not, like, ABOUT to end yet

75. Katoh would be a Knight meister, based on what characters she likes to play in games and such

76. How many people in the whole exorcism cram school? More than you think! She doesn't give a number but apparently licensed exorcists also attend classes for new meisters, etc, so there's a wide age range attending

77. How's Arthur feel about, like, studying Taming on the way to becoming Paladin? He's at least mostly accepted that you have to use demons to fight demons effectively

78. Konekomaru started wearing glasses in his first year of middle school, so like 7th grade (more recent than I thought!) He has one spare pair, in contrast to Yukio lol

79. Katoh's current obsessions? Ghost/scary stories! She's even been going to live readings of them recently

80. Media Katoh consumes for inspiration? A wide range of foreign teen drama, horror/suspense, shojo manga, light novels, anime, etc. Special focus on things where two boys are in conflict or there are brothers involved

81. If they weren't exorcists what jobs would they have? Rin - chef. Yukio - doctor. Shiemi - uh, florist?

82. Inspiration for the design of True Cross Town? Katoh and her assistants gathered up a bunch of references, picked out stuff they felt matched the tone, and mashed them all up together

83. Did you use any references etc for the school/exorcist uniforms? She says she probably should have but she just kind of made them up before publication

84. Favorite part of drawing? For color pages, picking out a color scheme. For black and white, drawing in all the little details (though she doesn't always get time to lately)

85. Once again confirms the demon kings' weird hair is a representation of their horns. ADDS THAT PEOPLE WHO CAN'T SEE DEMONS CAN'T SEE THE WEIRD HAIR

86. Now that Yukio's at the Illuminati, where's he gonna get his Jump SQ and spare glasses? Well he probably never planned to stay for long, but hey it's a big ship and they might have an optometrist and/or newsstand there

87. Do you base the demon characters on any references etc? Not really, she just gets a general idea of popular demon designs and then makes up her own in her own style

88. Merchandise Katoh personally wants to have made: stuff that an adult could just use in their day to day life. Also, it's not gonna happen, but if her favorite figure brand made AoEx figures she could die happy

89. If Beelzebub's host body was a beautiful woman, how would Shima react? Would the womanizing win out over the bug phobia? Katoh replies that Shima would probably just faint from being near a girl that pretty, before the bugs even got involved

90. Will the twins ever get to smile and eat dinner together again?? We'll just have to wait and see!

91. What do you check at a "scenario check"? what's a scenario check man I dunno They check for people being out of character or the setting feeling off. They had a lot of these checks for the anime, but they also do them for the drama CD, games, and all that other stuff where multiple authors are involved

92. Why does Shura use baldy as an insult for people who are clearly not bald? She feels like they have some kind of metaphorical, mental kind of "baldness" and she's calling them out on it. Whatever that means

93. After Blue Exorcist ends, what do you want to draw next? She has SO MANY IDEAS, SO MANY

94. Did Katoh make up the Shinto chants that, for example, Izumo used against Gedouin? They're assembled from bits of actual Shinto prayers according to what feels right in the scene

95. Yukio reads the Jump SQ, right, and, just hear me out here, he likes gag manga, right? Does this mean he reads Salaryman Yukio? It's something he would read, but let's say that in the AoEx universe there's just a very similar manga that he finds oddly relatable

96. What do Yukio and Shima do in their free time on the Dominus Liminus? oh my god you guys this ship has so many amenities. Yukio probably spends time reading in the library, which they totally have. There's also, like, a gym, and a movie theater, and a THEATER theater, all of which are free. Shima probably hangs out at the pool (!) and goes to the movies, and hits on illuminati girls, lol

97. Easiest character to draw? The ones with boring simple hair, lol. Lightning gets an honorable mention for ALSO not having eyes in most shots, but Rin wins--he was specifically designed to be easy for Katoh to draw because that's what you want in your main character

98. How do demons understand gender? They just possess whatever feels like the best match to how they feel in Gehenna, whether that's a man, or a woman, or a rat, or whatever

99. Where do you start when you're coming up with a story? She starts with character design and how the characters relate to each other. Currently she's just continuing an existing story, so she works on splitting up the overall plot into episodes and fleshing it out with scenes and information about characters

100. When do you feel most happy? She honestly feels like she lives a very happy life overall. Mentions noticing a lot of little things, like how nice her cats' heads smell when she cuddles them or taking a nice cold refreshing drink of water. There's happiness in everything. aww.

Cover: Meghan Markle having twin girls (oops!)

Page 1: Famous for doing his own stunts, Tom Cruise helicoptered in to the tiny English village of Levisham to film aboard, or rather hanging off of, a vintage train and along for the ride was his Mission: Impossible 7 costar Hayley Atwell, who was spotted running along the top of the North Yorkshire Moors Railway car and while the pair, surrounded by crew and tech experts, were total pros, it's an open secret on set that their romance is going strong and Tom and Hayley hang out non-stop when the cameras are off and are pretty much joined at the hip but not in a showy, PDA way; it's a very discreet thing they've got going on -- off-camera, 58-year-old Tom and 39-year-old Hayley enjoy quiet nights holed up in Tom's London digs, eating meals specially prepared by his private chef and they'll watch movies or read books or just chill out doing their own thing -- chilling out isn't Tom's forte, as audio leaked of him berating the film's crew for violating COVID-19 protocols, but things have calmed down considerably as the spy flick, due in theaters May 2022, closes in on its wrap date, but the ensuing publicity push will put Tom and Hayley's relationship front and center, but don't expect the devoted Scientologist to jump on any couches (a la Katie Holmes) announcing wife No. 4 as Tom has learned the hard way about putting everything out there and getting picked to pieces; this time, it's all about subtlety

Page 2: Contents, Cher got up and personal with the World's Loneliest Elephant Kaavan, who she helped relocate to Cambodia

Page 3: Brie Larson in a swimsuit with butterflies on it during a getaway to Hawaii, with headphones at the ready Brooke Burke was itching to cut a rug with friends before teaching a silent disco cardio party at the Rafi Lounge in Malibu, Maria Shriver and Christina Schwarzenegger enjoyed some quality time on a stroll in L.A., Boy George sporting a bold look on The Jonathan Ross Show in London

Page 4: In a recent interview, AnnaLynne McCord revealed a shocking diagnosis: for years, the 90210 alum has been battling dissociative identity disorder (often erroneously referred to as multiple personality disorder) -- she told Dr. Daniel Amen she is absolutely uninterested in shame about opening up despite the stigma surrounding mental-health issues because that's how we get to the point where we can articulate the nature of these pervasive traumas as horrible as they are -- for her part, the 33-year-old traces back her troubles to sexual abuse she suffered as a child and as had many of the 200,000 people diagnosed with DID each year, she suppressed those horrific memories and it was only within the past few years that they began to resurface, largely after she sought treatment for PTSD related to another sexual assault and she doesn't have any memories of abuse until around 5, then from 5 to 11, she recounts incidents throughout and then, when she was 13, she has a singled-out memory and it was at that age that she developed what doctors call a second personality identity: as Little Ann, the Georgia-born daughter of a pastor said she was balls to the wall, middle fingers to the sky, anarchist from hell who will stab you with the spike ring that she wears and that helped her survive her nightmarish situation -- ironically, acting created the same dynamic, making it sometimes difficult for AnnaLynne to let go of characters she'd played and all of her roles were splits but she didn't even realize she was doing it

Page 5: Jennifer Aniston wasn't exactly touched when Justin Theroux gushed about how much he still loves her in the issue of Esquire -- complaining about feeling like a hermit during the pandemic, 49-year-old Justin nearly got misty discussing FaceTiming and texting his ex, saying he cherishes their friendship and they can not be together and still bring each other joy and he'd be bereft if they weren't still in touch and he'd like to think the same for her -- but 52-year-old Jen, whose love life has been low-key since the pair's 2018 divorce, has stayed on good terms with most of her exes including Brad Pitt but doesn't want anything more than a friendship with Justin and sure, it's flattering but she's just moved on and wishes he would too, and that goes double for some of her friends who griped that Justin tried to milk Jen's connections to further his career -- in the end, Justin needs to know he's got no chance whatsoever of winning Jen back and she doesn't feel anything remotely close to passion for him anymore

* Roseanne Barr showed off her newly svelte frame on Instagram -- back in 1998, she lost 100 lbs after undergoing gastric-bypass surgery, but yo-yo'd over the next decades but now she's determined to keep the weight off by totally changing the way she eats and she's growing her own fruits and vegetables and has a whole new appreciation of food

* Five months after he entered the Federal Correctional Institution, Mossimo Gianulli finished up his stint at his plush Hidden Hills home and now, the 57-year-old, who along with wife Lori Loughlin, pleaded guilty to paying a $500,000 bribe to get their kids into USC, can't wait to get back to normal and his biggest priority, besides spending time with Lori and the girls, is to get out there on the golf course -- the designer, worth a reported $70 million, still has to perform 250 hours of community service while Lori, who finished up her prison stint in December, is chipping away at hers, doling out meals at L.A.'s Project Angel Food -- Lori and Mossimo have resolved not to dwell on the past and they want to move forward with a positive and grateful attitude

Page 6: Fans of Angelina Jolie's stunts in movies like Lara Croft: Tomb Raider and Mr. & Mrs. Smith are looking forward to her return to the screen as a wildfire fighter in Those Who Wish Me Dead and in the upcoming Marvel flick Eternals but 45-year-old Angie would rather be behind the camera and she explained the real reason behind her comeback is she loves directing, but she had a change in her family situation that's not made it possible for her to direct for a few years and she needed to just do shorter jobs and be home more, so she went back to doing a few acting jobs -- that change in her family situation, of course, is her divorce from Brad Pitt, ongoing since their 2016 split and with no bitter end in sight and it could drag on for years

* Catherine Zeta-Jones says it's no secret her 20-year marriage to 76-year-old Michael Douglas hasn't been easy and it wouldn't be normal if there weren't any ups and downs -- it's another Michael, her Prodigal Son costar Michael Sheen, who has friends whispering as both are Welsh and only a year apart, the two have been having a lot of fun shooting the serial-killer drama and they had never met before the series but they keep discovering how much they have in common -- while Michael, who has been linked with Kate Beckinsale, Rachel McAdams and Sarah Silverman, has been with Anna Lundberg for two years, friends can't help worrying because it's a little to close for comfort

Page 8: Star Shots -- Marlee Matlin kicked back during a portrait session in La Canada Flintridge in California, a loaded-down Irina Shayk in a Victoria's Secret photoshoot in NYC, Gavin Rossdale and his dog Chewy leaving tennis practice in L.A.

Page 9: Kelly Clarkson and her battle advisor Luis Fonsi on The Voice, John Stamos at the drive-in premiere of his new series Big Shot in L.A.

Page 10: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley toting her $3800 Bottega Veneta Shell bag in NYC, Niall Horan and Anne-Marie jumped into a classic Jaguar XK120 for a music video in Essex in England, Adam Driver as Maurizio Gucci on the set of House of Gucci on a bicycle in Rome

Page 11: Jay Leno takes a selfie with a fan, Kate Hudson and her daughter Rani busting out some mommy-and-me moves

Page 12: David Beckham filming a commercial for Maserati, Kaley Cuoco working out with ropes, a windswept Olivia Culpo held on tight to pup Oliver while enjoying a sunset ride aboard a boat named after her dog, Miles Teller looked both ways during a cruise in his blue Ford Bronco which is the same car he flipped in a 2016 accident

Page 13: Garrett Hedlund hit the pavement in a jog in Hollywood, Johnny Depp got behind the camera at the photocall for his film Minamata during the Barcelona Film Festival, friendly exes Sara Gilbert and Linda Perry masked up for a walk in L.A.

Page 18: Normal or Not Normal? A sleepy George Stephanopoulos was caught yawning on the Good Morning America set -- normal, Emily Blunt kicked back a little too much at The Jonathan Ross Show -- not normal

Page 19: With a $1400 rainbow Gucci sweater wrapped around her shoulders Selling Sunset's pregnant Christine Quinn with her dogs in L.A. -- normal, Chelsea Handler works out with her dog on her back -- not normal, Zach Braff stuck his tongue out as he took a silly selfie filming the Cheaper by the Dozen reboot -- not normal

Page 22: Fashion -- stars shine in metallic frocks -- Becky G, Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Karen Gillan

Page 23: Miranda Lambert, Cynthia Erivo, Renee Zellweger

Page 26: Travis Barker didn't hold back in his birthday tribute to girlfriend Kourtney Kardashian -- sharing a series of sexy shots with 42-year-old Kourtney, including a NSFW video of Kourtney sucking his thumb and the rocker's risque pics quickly went viral, as did Kourt's TMI essay posted to her health and wellness site Poosh titled "Rough Sex: Love It or Leave It?" -- definitely leave it, if it were up to the pair's kids; 17-year-old Landon and 15-year-old Alabama, who are 45-year-old Travis' children with ex-wife Shanna Moakler, are mortified by their dad's behavior and like most teenagers, the two are active on social media and can't avoid the new couple's loved-up posts and Travis' kids are happy that he's happy, but the PDA is weird and takes some getting used to, while Travis' stepdaughter Atiana De La Hoya, on the other hand, doesn't seem to have a problem as the 22-year-old posted a heart-eyes emoji -- as for spending time with Mason, 11, Penelope, 8, and 6-year-old Reign, Kourt's kids with ex Scott Disick, the pair try to restrain themselves but still the lovebirds are happily oblivious and have a hard time toning it down and Kourt and Travis are just being themselves and going with the flow; they're in love and want the world to know it

Page 27: After 10 months of dating Australian model Vanessa Valladares, Zac Efron is officially back on the market -- 33-year-old Zac called it off with the 25-year-old after things got too serious, too soon and they spent every moment together and it was too claustrophobic for him, as Vanessa, who quit her job and gave up everything to be with Zac, became a fixture on set as he worked on Down to Earth with Zac Efron and he felt guilty that she was giving up her dreams and aspirations to be with him -- despite their split, Zac, who had put his L.A. home on the market and extended his stay in Australia after meeting Vanessa, has no plans to rush back to the States because he has made a lot of friends there and feels at home

* Like many planning their vows during the pandemic, Scarlett Johansson and Colin Jost had to get strategic when it came to their big day -- Scarlett said they wanted it to feel like it had an intentional intimacy as opposed to being something that felt like they were restricted by all these things -- the intimate and small event the pair threw was at their $4 million Palisades, N.Y. home in October and the ultra-private pair kept their guests safe, and the guest list was tiny and it was understated but lovely, just what they wanted -- now Scarlett and Colin have settled in to married life and Scarlett and Colin both like to steer clear of the spotlight which makes them perfectly suited for each other

* Vanessa Hudgens revealed the surprising way she was introduced to boyfriend Cole Tucker, who she's been dating since November -- 32-year-old Vanessa and 24-year-old Cole met on a Zoom meditation group and Vanessa admits that the Pittsburgh Pirates shortstop is just perfect for her and Vanessa and Cole, who debuted their romance on Valentine's Day, moved their budding friendship offline after feeling sparks via the virtual meeting app and they started communicating on their own and found out they have a lot in common -- now Vanessa, who dated Austin Butler for nine years before their 2020 split, is zooming ahead and she doesn't want to rush or jinx things, but she's saying Cole could be The One

Page 28: Cover Story -- Prince Harry and Meghan Markle: Twin Girls -- it was a somber, but loving occasion as the royal family celebrated the life of Prince Philip and amid the pomp and truly touching moments, like Queen Elizabeth sitting frail and alone, viewers waited to see what would happen when Harry and Prince William reunited for the first time since Harry and Meghan stepped down from senior royal duties in March 2020 and just weeks after their bombshell TV interview rocked the monarchy and tensions had been running high before the funeral, but everything went better than expected as William and Harry bonded and united in grief at the loss of their beloved grandfather, the estranged siblings along with William's wife Duchess Kate Middleton, waved away their waiting cars, opting to walk the half-mile from St. George's Chapel to Windsor Castle together and the trio chatted easily as they strolled -- back home in Montecito, Harry has been by pregnant Meghan's side around the clock making sure she takes it easy and the couple are in full-blown prep mode and Harry has been helping baby-proof their mansion and designing the nursery and Harry's been on his hands and knees making the house baby-friendly and he's got the latest, state-of-the-art safety devices installed around the pool -- Harry's promising visit with the royal family has given him one less thing to worry about, but still he and members of The Firm will always have different perspectives and after dismissing William and dad Prince Charles as trapped by the monarchy, Harry was persuaded by Kate to take the first step and she went up to Harry to suggest he have a heart-to-heart with William and their father, then she stepped back; Harry felt nostalgic being back home and it's a work in progress -- Harry made headway with his grandmother as well as he and Queen Elizabeth had a private meeting and spoke for three hours and seeing Harry's face made her smile again and Harry loves his grandmother very much and he's promised to bring his kids back to England later this year and he wants the Queen to spend quality time with them

What, in your opinion, was the worst tvd season and why?

Season 8 because nothing made sense and it was BORING. From previous posts and highlights from all of my reviews of the eighth season:

I would say that in the season finale a lot of things didn’t make sense. Why was Elena in a big white bed in the middle of the woods? Where is this place, why are they there? How did Enzo know to find Bonnie there and how did he bring her back to life? Is Enzo God? Stefan didn’t know Bonnie would be able to wake Elena up but he still gave Damon the cure in the off-chance that she would? Katherine pretended to be Elena, she wore Elena’s dress in the casket but had the time to dress Elena in her own clothes and put her in the school? And her hair was straight and suddenly it just became perfectly curly again? Stefan was shot and stabbed, he bled everywhere in those instances but he managed to not age rapidly but because he took a syringe of blood and gave it to Damon suddenly Damon has the cure and Stefan would start aging? Really? He could’ve called Caroline or saw Caroline, there is actually no reason why Stefan could see Elena, it’s not a logical part of the episode in terms of plot or lore, it doesn’t make sense, except that Elena had to be the last person he saw before he died.

8x01

22. Writers, it’s too fucking late for the whole “surrounded by death, Stefan That’s what we’ve been for a hundred and some years.” nonono, you didn’t stick to that vampire lore throughout the seasons, it makes no sense to reinstate it now. In True Blood, from season 1 to season 7, it’s iterated and reiterated that vampires are death and whoever wants to sleep with them or be around them wants to die because they’re surrounding themselves with death. That isn’t a theme in TVD.

23. Nope, you can’t do hell all over again and try to back it up by going “not stone hell but real hell!” nah, y’all were lazy and just did the same shit again.

26. Stefan and Bonnie coming face to face with Damon and Enzo should’ve probably been more impactful? Like I don’t know, I don’t get the sense of complete and utter hopelessness. DO some fight club shit:

Make them gaunt and pale and red-eyed, like if they’re drones or slaves then make them as such. Because Damon is just acting like Damon, the only reason why we know he’s doing these things against his will is because of the over-exposition in the dialogue, there is actually nothing to indicate that Damon is doing this against his will other than the repetition in the words.

33. How hard are they going to hammer this shit in our heads? Damon doesn’t believe in redemption AGAIN, Damon thinks he and Elena are on different paths AGAIN only so SURPRISE he’ll be proved wrong by Elena near the end! Been there, done that.

8x03:

6. I love how it’s become such a big deal that Sybil has mind control. “We’re dealing with something that has the power of mind control” SCARY MUSIC. Right because vampires compelling people was just ….

15. Damon describing Sybil’s hold over him is literally describing compulsion.

17. So Sybil is Rebekah and the Salvatore Mansion is the library and instead of Elena, Caroline and Stefan talking about SE and DE it’s Caroline and Bonnie talking about Damon and Enzo.

18. OK so Sybil is also Klaus who has to “Siren” obedience like how Klaus had to Sire hybrids.

19. OK so Sybil is Klaus again making Bonnie choose between Enzo and Damon like Klaus going, “So Elena, Jenna or Stefan?” Or she’s No Humanity Caroline who essentially did the same thing with Matt and Tyler. ‘Bout the most sadistic game imaginable, writers you’ve recycled this at least three times.

32. “Bonnie, I’m going to count down from 10 and then I’m going to let Damon finish what he started.” Like the clock Klaus put on Stefan biting Elena? LOL OK TVD.

8x03:

28. So basically when Sybil got Damon’s full devotion is exactly like when Damon and Elena thought Stefan betrayed them for Klaus and the scene between Caroline and Stefan when Stefan is all “Damon is gone” “Don’t give up hope” is Stefan and Damon “Stefan is gone!” “Then we’ll let him go.” We’re redoing season 3 just terribly.

8x04

35. So a black man is the devil. EXCELLENT, TVD. JFC.

36. Also their version of the devil makes absolutely no sense. Why is Cade in hell in the first place when he literally did nothing wrong? Did he create hell for the souls that he keeps and why is he collecting souls in the first place? And they keep mentioning God, as in the Christian God, so how are you going to have a Christian God but not a Christian Hell? WHAT?

44. So Georgie goes to hell because she killed a girl in a car accident. OK so like I don’t get it does that mean Julian is in hell too? What about Mary-Louise and Nora? Are they in hell? WHO goes to this hell? Does just everyone who does a bad thing go to this hell?

8x05:

9. You know why banging a tuning fork doesn’t come across as torture? Because it’s a weak fucking form of torture. At least have Sybil’s ears bleed, have her crying with pain, have her clutching her head, screaming STOP IT STOP IT STOP IT. Like OMG.

10. And of course Bonnie isn’t at Tyler’s funeral but so is no one else. It’s true that the Lockwoods are dead but they’re a founding family, you mean this town won’t mourn the loss of the last living member of such a family when the town is supposed to be big on tradition?

11. This episode is ridiculous. I won’t believe that Stefan wouldn’t be fast enough to stake Damon in the leg or to push him off Matt, Stefan vamp-sped and pushed Damon off Bonnie in season 1, he pushed Katherine off Jeremy in season 2. After being the only human in MF for how long, Matt should’ve picked up a few tricks on how to take down a vampire. Caroline is also a vampire with a history of beating the shit out of Damon, you mean two vampires can’t contain one? Whatever.

15. “It was awful, like Damon is desperate for us all to hate him.” But you just can’t right? For absolutely no fucking reason. I’m actually getting severely tired of Damon killing everyone, abusing everyone, making everyone’s lives worse and the show constantly protecting him with lines that distance him from taking any responsibility. It’s OK that Damon killed Tyler because he wants you all to hate him? Are you fucking serious?

20. REDEMPTIVE RIGHT NOW. Hammering it into our heads that he didn’t want to kill Tyler but he did it for Sybil, he doesn’t like that his friends hate him but he made them hate him anyway for Sybil (although legit no one looks like they hate him) and I’m fucking OVER it. Damon kills but his heart isn’t in it, so the fuck what, why the fuck do I care about that? Doesn’t MEAN anything.

21. Dude, I thought that Sybil inserted herself in Damon’s happy Elena place and then I thought she made Elena die so it was like Damon never met her. What was the point of Sybil inserting herself in Damon’s Elena Happy Place if he just does things to make her happy but doesn’t put his heart in it, he was doing that anyway before.

8x06

5. So we get to see mediocre SC sex in 8x01 but we don’t get to see mediocre BE sex in 8x06? Oh true. I see you, Julie and co.

9. WHO eats bacon that way? Seriously, who the fuck eats bacon that way? That’s not sexy, it’s weird.

13. This writing is ridiculous. You and Sybil aren’t Cade’s missionaries, Seline, you aren’t converting people to your ways or “spreading the word”, you’re eating their flesh and giving the souls to Cade, you’re his butchers.

27. “Two of history’s most prolific killers.” LOL WHAT? People have committed GENOCIDES, TVD.

30. “I raised them” they’re THREE. And on the real, it didn’t look like or feel like you were dying when the twins were gone, Caroline.

33. “I gave Damon what he promised me an eternity of misery” HOW THO? Damon’s BEEN spending his immortal life killing people, like how is it any different that he and Stefan are doing it for a purpose now? Jfc. Also legit, guys, y’all are immortal, vampires, you’re never going to hell, the paranoia surrounding this place is ridiculous especially since they have both died as vampires and haven’t gone to Cade’s hell dimension each time.

35. Lmao why is this ending with Alaric killing Damon as if Damon is actually dead? We know he isn’t! Stefan just told us they’ll live forever serving Cade and we already know he and Sybil crash Steroline’s Christmas. LIKE? THIS ISN’T SHOCKING.

8x07:

13. “If Elena was here Damon wouldn’t be doing any of this?” Are we forgetting that he systematically killed Whitmores while they were together, that he kidnapped her brother and had Enzo suffocate him, that he killed Aaron … that a lot of the destruction Damon caused to the group was in Elena’s name? Damon didn’t change for Elena, I need the show to let that one GO.

15. There is weird tension between Caroline and Damon and it makes me uncomfortable.

18. “I know there is a future you that’s going to ask for my forgiveness one day” like when he asked for forgiveness for raping and physically and emotionally abusing you, Caroline? Oh right, that never happened.

23. Cade is basically Klaus trying to get Stefan go Dark Side. THIS IS THE EXACT CONVERSATION HE HAD WITH KLAUS.

8x08:

5. I DON’T UNDERSTAND WHY NO ONE IS TRYING TO FIND LOOPHOLES AGAINST CADE. Caroline is just “cool, Stefan, go and be evil with the devil” WHAT?

15. It’s really annoying and in bad taste that the show is discussing how the Founding Families didn’t found Mystic Falls because other people were there first (witches) and we’re just ignoring the fact that there would’ve been Indigenous nations. I also like how we’re talking about history but we wouldn’t talk about enslavement even though MF is in fucking Virginia.

22. Are we really fucking doing this? Matt’s dad is angry at the Founding families because they were rich and ran the town while his family were skilled traders and looked down upon as such when Bonnie’s fucking ancestor was enslaved to Katherine??? WHEN THERE WERE ENSLAVED PEOPLES IN THIS TOWN? Matt’s dad gets a rant but we’re not talking about the racist history? Why am I even surprised by this?

8x09:

17. Oh my GOD, we’re only 20 minutes in?

20. Why are we acting like Damon’s humanity will crush him? He was fine with killing Lexi, turning Vicki, killing Jeremy, killing Aaron, kidnapping Jeremy, trying to kill Caroline, raping and abusing Caroline, etc. Like why wouldn’t he be fine with this? Elena won’t care.

21. Why do they keep saying Matt is stupid? How is Alaric any smarter? A fucking siren was his nanny for months.

8x11:

1. So I don’t remember if this is from 8x09 or 8x10 when Sybil explains that opening the door from Cade’s world into this world will destroy everyone in this world but that is literally Buffy season 5. Glory is a hell goddess who wants the key back into her dimension but if the key (who is Buffy’s sister) opens her world then the dimensions will bleed together and reality will cease to exist. LIKE??? Does Julie even know what an original thought is?

11. “Look at Damon, humanity on and he’s a new person!” HE IS EXACTLY THE SAME. DAMON ALWAYS REMAINS EXACTLY THE SAME. MAGNUM IS THE SAME LOOK AS BLUE STEEL. OH MY FUCKING GOD.

13. So Matt can say that it’s still Stefan who tried to get him to destroy the entire town but he can say that Damon turning and effectively killing Vicki is a long time ago, him murdering Tyler wasn’t him. OK true. Not transparent at all TVD.

18. Why is Damon giving him pancakes and not blood? Is Stefan not a vampire? Is he drying Stefan out? What’s the point of this?

21. Oh my God, I am literally only 10 minutes in.

38. 21 minutes and 41 seconds.

42. Talking talking talking talking

43. This is the final season though?

52. I don’t care for Bonenzo but seriously Julie taking away Bonnie’s happiness at every turn is a blatant hatred of her character, I don’t give a shit if she says she gets an unexpected happy ending, the unexpected happy ending will probably be her and Enzo reunited in death or something.

8x13:

1. Seriously, Cade seems like a really petty devil though. “Kill 100 people or your brother’s girl” like … why? Don’t you have some world domination plans going on or…? Like why the interest in Stefan and Damon, what about either of them are particularly special to the devil? It doesn’t make sense to me. At least with Supernatural, everything from season 1 was leading up to Dean and Sam being vessels for Michael and Lucifer, like every season, every plot point fed into that so it made sense, this is just fucking random.

2. I’m legit taking this opportunity to tell people to watch Goblin because it is so much more intriguing than whatever the hell TVD has become. You can watch it on: Drama Fever, Box Asian, Drama 4 U Viki, like so many sites, guys. I mean, I’m just saying, if you want a show that’ll make you cry and keep you in suspense and make you fall in love with characters then that’s it.

5. “Stefan, thank God” sound even less enthused, Caroline.

9. “I don’t think this is just colonial bling” did they seriously make Dorian say that? UGH. Also who says bling anymore? Are we in the early 00s?

11. Why is Damon acting like he didn’t kill Tyler? I find this actually unbelievably fascinating. He can stand there and lecture Caroline about how Bonnie wouldn’t answer her calls when he killed Tyler who was supposed to be Caroline’s first love and her childhood friend? LIKE THIS WRITING.

12. I don’t understand this, Stefan is human so he can’t be immortal anymore and therefore is out of the contract so Cade will kill him? Can’t he just make Stefan an immortal human? Like why does he have to be a vampire? He can kill people without biting them, there’s always good old fashioned weaponry. Like what powers does Cade actually have?

20. Like there are no side effects to turning human? You’re just human and that’s it. You don’t feel slower, weaker, you can just operate normally?

25. Lol Caroline and Stefan are so bad at being together.

31. “Sirened to ring the bell” it’s just compulsion.

40. And seriously he’s not even going to STAY with her? The supposed love of her life died and no one is going to just BE with her? Remember when I said she would grieve alone?

8x14:

2. I think it’s funny that Cade is talking about how Damon is in limbo, “the space between spaces” because my guy, that is JUST the Other Side.

3. No, see, the entire plot line with Cade and the Salvatores irritates me because it’s so conveniently linked to Damon and Stefan. He is the devil or the devil’s right hand man (since Katherine is the Queen of Hell for some reason, right?) I don’t understand why he can’t just find the weapon himself or get someone else to do it for him, there’s no reason that it has to be Damon and it’s the problem when a villain keeps making threats “Or I’ll drag you back to hell”, so then do it. At least with Supernatural when Zachariah wanted Dean to do something and Dean was like nah, Zachariah was like OK so what if I give Sam stage 4 stomach cancer? Or hey, how about if I take away his lungs? And we see him inflict these tortures on Sam while Dean watches. Or Dean starts off the season coming out of hell and we get flashbacks to what hell was like for him and we find out how much it fucked him up so when Uriel and Castiel threaten to throw him back into hell, it’s an actual real threat because we’ve seen the effects and why he would be scared. This whole thing with Damon is like … every time Cade says he’ll send Damon to hell I’m like motherfucker, no you’re not or you would’ve DONE did it by now, stop.

5. Bonnie being able to see Enzo is like Jeremy being able to see Bonnie and Elena hallucinating Damon. I’m bored.

14. Also where are the twins if neither she nor Alaric are watching them in this scene? Like if they’re setting shit on fire because of temper tantrums and are literally prone to blowing each other up now, I would be around them all the time.

17. I like how Stefan has, like, an actual plan to kill Cade but if you’re going to kill him, will you not slash his arm and punch him and make witty remarks, can you just stab him?

18. Because you see what happens, Alaric’s cell phone rings and he stops ringing the all important bell.

24. *SPOILERS FOR OUTLANDER* So there’s this show/book called Outlander about many things but at the centre of it, there’s a love story between Jamie and Claire and throughout the series, Jamie makes these declarations of love to Claire and says he’ll do anything for her, that he’ll be her shield, he’ll die for her etc. and there’s this villain called Jack Randall who is a sexual sadist and he has a particular interest in Jamie who he nearly flogged to death years earlier, basically Randall gets a hold of Claire and is going to kill her in front of Jamie so Jamie offers up his body to Randall in exchange for Claire’s safety and in that scene Randall nails Jamie’s hand to a table and kisses him while Claire has to watch and then Claire is forced to leave Randall and Jamie alone and in the next part we basically see the rape and torture that Randall inflicts on Jamie over and over. A lot of people had issues with that and asked the author why she felt the need to show the brutal rape of Jamie and her response was this:

“So, OK. Throughout the book, we’ve seen that love has a real cost. Jamie and Claire have built a relationship through honest struggle, a relationship that’s _worth_ what it’s cost them. This is the final challenge, and Jamie’s willing to pay what will apparently be the ultimate cost.

Why would I throw that away? To have him escape rape and torture (he–and we–_know_ what’s coming) by the skin of his teeth would be to undercut his sacrifice, to make it of little moment. (It would be like someone turning up in Gethsemane and telling Christ, “Hey, buddy, you don’t _really_ have to do this. Come with me, I got a secret way outta here…”)”

And this is what TVD fails to do with DE. It’s one thing for Damon to be willing to go to hell for both Stefan and Elena but Bonnie shows up and actually saves him from having to undergo that threat and it undercuts his sacrifice because he didn’t actually have to sacrifice anything, he just had to be willing and it’s not impactful. So I’m not even a little moved by what Damon did because he didn’t do anything first of all, second of all after everything he’s done throughout 8 seasons why wouldn’t he choose himself, I mean, it’s the least he can do.

25. “Bonnie, wake up”, Stefan can you check her pulse?

26. “That little psychic blast must’ve blew me into my body” that literally makes no sense.

27. Damon and Stefan sitting on Damon’s car, drinking is basically just Sam and Dean. Stop it.

29. “Someone who can create a safe, supportive and loving space for kids … someone like you” is that Caroline, though? I’m sorry but she doesn’t seem like any of those things to Josie and Lizzie, she’s shrill and just tells them to stop doing things, like I don’t know why she didn’t actually ask Josie and Lizzie how they felt when their magic was going haywire, like we don’t actually see her BE with them, she just scolds.

33. Finally, what anons kept asking me about, Katherine Pierce being the Queen of hell. I am going to admit something, I think the show and the characters gas Katherine way too much, she isn’t the baddest bitch of all, I don’t think the characters are toast because she’s running hell, I don’t even think she deserves to run Hell, she’s petty, it’s not like she has master plans that completely destroy lives, she just makes things inconvenient for the core group like *ugh* I mean I guess I gotta go fix Elena because she has venom in her system, like what were the major consequences of what she did in 5x15 to Elena? Elena didn’t see Damon for an entire episode and couldn’t sleep with him immediately. Getting Jenna to stab herself was rude but the major consequence of that is Stefan and Elena breaking up. She outted the Klaroline sex and it just fractured an already fractured relationship with Tyler. The worst thing she did was cause Jeremy’s death and that wasn’t even intentional, it was just like oh well … yeah, my bad, bye. Like she’s a mean girl on steroids, that’s kind of it, she isn’t like this Badass Villain that no one can top and OMG SHE RUNS HELL. I mean Rebekah caused just as much damage as Katherine did because they’re both petty.

8x15:

2. I like how opening the door to Cade’s world will only destroy everything for “miles”, like that’s such a small scale, shouldn’t it be the end of the world if the devil is walking among us? Or is he not the devil, is Katherine the devil? I’m confused about the Hell hierarchy, you see.

5. Sorry, pausing because my cat is being extremely affectionate and I would rather play with her for a little than watch what trash this episode is going to be.

6. But now she’s on my keyboard. It’s like she’s trying to spare me.

14. “That was a lifetime ago, things have changed since then” that should just replace the title of TVD. “Didn’t Damon kill your sister?” “That was a long time ago.” “Didn’t Damon kill your brother” “That was a long time ago.” And now apparently abandoning your family because of man pain and cowardice and immaturity is “a lifetime ago” too but oh no, Stefan was a ripper a literal century ago and we need to harp on it forever.

16. Why would Dorian agreeing to help them on how to get rid of the “Queen of Hell” be misconstrued as him being “cool” with Stefan though? Isn’t getting rid of someone who is supposed to be the devil Plus be in everyone’s best interest? Like whatever, it was just another chance to take a shot at Stefan. Transparent as fuck.

21. I mean, I don’t blame Bonnie for hating Stefan but Damon was responsible for killing Jeremy and kidnapping Jeremy, Enzo was responsible for suffocating Jeremy and she’s cool with both of them, hell she fell in love with one of them so I’m just like girl, I guess. The writers are ridiculous because it just feels like they don’t know the web they’ve created with these characters and understand that they’ve turned pretty much everyone into a hyprocrite.

24. I don’t even know why Damon needs to tell Stefan that what happened to Enzo will haunt him like Stefan isn’t new to guilt. Why are they making it seem like this is Stefan’s first rodeo?

37. “I hope I get to see this one day with you and Elena” lol the FLATTEST delivery ever. Like do you even mean it? Do you REALLY? Think hard, Stefan.

54. LMFAO SO WHO ISN’T IN HELL? Vicki was in hell, Kelly was in hell, so like ERRBODY GOES TO HELL THEN? WHAT CRITERIA IS THERE? Like if I run a stop light do I go to hell because it’s against the law? What if I jaywalk or accidentally step on an ant or something? BECAUSE SERIOUSLY.

55. STEFAN WHY DON’T YOU EVER CHECK ANYONE’S PULSE?

and you already saw my thoughts on 8x16

Phylax ch 4 Who you’d be today Avengers x OC

Bennett stood in the hotel lobby, the sun was beginning to set outside. She surveyed the area. Entrances/exits, windows, emergency exits, stairs, elevators, security personnel, housekeepers, receptionist, valet, doormen, security cameras, safes, keypad entry doors. This place would take a while to get locked down. With Happy helping though they would get it done. “Alright, kid,” and speak of the devil, “do you wanna room with Tony for security purposes,” he gave his head a few subtle nods, “or sleep in the room across the hall,” a few subtle shakes. He held up the room keys in turn.

“What are Tony’s late night plans for the next few days?” She asked apprehensively.

“Happy and I have big plans. Gonna make friendship bracelets, a spa day, manicures, I am thinking movies and facials tonight,” Tony walked up to their conversation.

The girl reached out and plucked the card for the second room with a smirk. “My decision has been made for me.”

“Lancaster?” A man approached, the head of security for the hotel according to his uniform. He held a hand out to Happy. Happy looked from the man then to the blonde and back.

“That would be me. Nice to meet you Mr?” she shook his hand.

“Alvarez,” he had the same shocked look they had all seen many times before.

“Mr. Alvarez, Bennett Lancaster. I would like to talk to you about the security layout in the hotel,” she followed the man calling over her shoulder, “Hap, take my bag up for me. 2306. You and Tony are in the other room. Meet you in half an hour, yeah?”

The hotel’s security only needed to be buffed up in a few areas. Camera coverage was good, minimal blind spots. Setting motion sensors on their hallway would make up for those. Extra cameras in the fire escape stairwells. Mr. Alvarez was more than happy to help wherever needed and assured his staff would be as well.

She made it up to the rooms to settle in about 9. Late room service, a shower and sleep. The next few days were more than likely going to be a nightmare.

She slid the room key into the slot before opening the door. Shutting it quietly behind her she heard the sound of a hair dryer. “Tony? Hap?” It was probably just Tony or Happy borrowing the shower, it wouldn’t be the first time. They didn’t do well having to share space. She shut the door, deciding to just wait it out. After grabbing the shorts and tank top she packed for pajamas she surveyed. A giant king sized bed, two night stands, a dresser, flat screen tv, it looked just like any other hotel room. A rich, fancy hotel but a hotel. She walked toward the window on the far side of the room. A couch was pushed up against the wall.

The bathroom door opened and she spun. There in pajama pants and a t-shirt, long red hair hanging straight down her back, was Natalie. “Ms. Rushman? Tony never told me you were joining us.”

"I was a last minute addition. Mr Stark is a bit impulsive if you haven't noticed." She gave a teasing smile. "Have you eaten? I thought about seeing if I could find a pizza."

"Sounds like a good plan to me. Tony has been on a health kick, low carbs and weird teas. I could use junk food.” Bennett shifted from foot to foot.

"Great!" She hopped onto the bed and grabbed the phone calling the front desk.

Bennett headed into the bathroom to take a quick shower, stopping by her bag on the way to trade the tank top for a t-shirt. The shower gave her time to think and formulate a plan. Heading back into the room she grabbed one of the pillows from the bed, and the throw blanket from the back of the couch and tried to make herself comfortable. The room was freezing. The blanket was too small to cover her body unless she curled up and even at that it was thin. The couch was only slightly more comfortable than the floor. She adjusted the pillow again. Nope, the floor was probably more comfortable.

“What are you doing?,” Natalie hung up the phone. Long phone call for pizza?

“Finding the comfy spot on the couch to sleep,” the bodyguard answered.

“The bed is huge beyond enough room for both of us,” she pulled back the covers to emphasize the size.

“I’m good. The couch is perfectly fine.” The couch was one of those that is made for looks not comfort.

“I am calling bull on that,” she raised one eyebrow looking the couch over sceptically.

“I’m good,” she insisted, pulling the blanket up, only for it to slide off her feet at the other end.

“You will kill your back if you sleep over there.” She went for a logical approach. When that failed she decided to go with a little truth. “The day your uh...friend came to see you. I was the one that brought her to your office. I wasn’t trying to eavesdrop, but her voice carries. So I kinda figured some things out.”

“So you understand why I am sleeping on the couch.” Bennett pointed out the obvious.

“You were raised with too much southern respect, or whatever you call it. I can trust you” she smiled, “besides I heard something else that day.” Bennett closed her eyes, Emily had not been kind.

“What she said about me, it isn’t the first time those things have been said. But it is the first time someone has stood up for me. So...I trust you,” she looked up meeting the other woman’s eyes. Bennett got lost in the green of her irises. “We can even put pillows down the middle of the bed if it makes you more comfortable.”

“You are really okay with this?” She slowly made her way to the bed.

“Since I started working for Tony, I have seen you open the door for people at least a hundred times, you know the names of everyone down to the mail guy and call everyone Mr. or Ms., every request you have made of me has been delivered with a ‘please’ and received with a ‘thank you’. You were raised to show respect. I can trust you.” She shot a dazzling smile in the blonde’s direction as she scooted to the far side of the bed. “Besides it gives us a chance to talk. I think we both could use a friend.”

She threw the pillow back on the bed then tentatively sat on the edge of the bed opposite Natalie. She reached for the remote, turning to the movie channels “So movie preferences?”

“Action is good or horror. I love a good thriller,” her eyes lit with something akin to mischief but...more deadly?

She hid the shiver, flipping to the right channels and reading the titles. “Ok we can do any of these. Except “IT”. I don’t do clowns. They have scared me since I was a kid.”

“Like run screaming scared or hide under the bed scared,” she teased.

“You never hide under the bed, that’s where all the monsters live,” Bennett shrugged like the suggestion was ridiculous. “What are you scared of?”

There was a knock on the door before she could respond. Natalie went to answer but was stopped as Bennett grabbed her wrist. She pulled the pistol Tony insisted she carry. She checked through the peephole and saw it was the pizza. A quick glance at her phone showed all sensors were clear so she opened the door. She gave the man the money and a generous tip before closing the door and carrying it back to the bed. Natalie headed to the minifridge. “Soda or beer?”

“I never drink when I am out with Tony. Have a hard enough time keeping him out of trouble when I am sober,” she gave an over exaggerated sigh.

“Alright soda it is,” Natalie took out two of the expensive bottles tossing one to Bennett. It would be on Stark's bill so why not.

“When I open these boxes I am not going to find anything really weird on them like anchovies or anything am I, Ms. Rushman” she gave the first pizza box a tentative sniff.

“No, one should be canadian bacon and pineapple the other a supreme, nothing too wild.” She opened the second box that turned out to be the pineapple one. “Can I ask a favor?”

They each took a slice from one box or the other, settling back to watch the movie. “You can ask,” Bennett replied. Natalie had found some horrifying movie about a serial killer. Bennett watched it without flinching but she couldn’t wait for it to end.

She turned to look at the blonde. “Can you just call me Nat from now on? I am not a big fan of Ms. Rushman.”

“Of course,” her eyes were a warm, golden brown. “One condition. From now it’s Benn, in extreme cases Bennett. But no more Lancaster.”

“So ‘Kid’ is off the table too,” she smirked.

“If you must, fine, but it’s not my favorite.” One thing was for sure a couple dozen times of Natalie calling her “kid” and any crush she might be developing would die.

“No, ‘kid’ I promise, except when I really need to get your attention.” Bennett started to protest but the words died on her lips when she saw her smile. So maybe there was a crush already there.

As the murder movie marathon continued Natalie began to ask questions. Questions about Tony and what it was like working for him. If everything they said about the Ironman was true. Questions about the tower and some of the people she had met there.

The blonde countered with questions about her past. Where she grew up? Russia. Explains the room temperature. About her family? Abusive parents, several sisters. School? Private. She shared a few stories about playing with her sisters in the snow and the ballet school they all attended.

She then ventured into Bennett’s past. Born and raised in Texas. Public school. Four siblings, Elanora Elayne 33, Leopold Arthur 27, Fitzwilliam Charles her twin, and Zacharias Liam 18. She told a few stories from her own childhood.

“Interesting name choices,” Natalie smiled, “so what's yours?”

“That, my dear, is something not even Tony knows,” she drained the last of the soda.

“Please I won’t tell a soul, I swear,” she pleaded.

The look on Natalie’s face, Bennett would tell her just about anything. “Give me yours first.”

Her smile was wide enough to show teeth. “Natalie Aleece Rushman.”

Her name was pretty and it flowed off the tongue easily. “Natalie Aleece. I should have asked for something more embarrassing.”

“You promised so” she looked at the woman expectantly.

“Fine. You have to understand that my mother had a bit of an obsession when my brother and I were born. So he was named Fitzwilliam Charles Lancaster and I got landed with,” she took a deep breath, “Bennett Darcy Lancaster.”

The corners of Natalie’s mouth twitched as she held back a laugh. “So Pride and Prejudice, that was the obsession.”

“All of Jane Austen really but yeah

Mom's original choice was Elizabeth Jane. Dad said if my brother and I were going to be named after literary characters, it should be painfully obvious.” Bennett pushed the bangs out of her face again. It was drying and she knew the natural curls were making the short locks stick up at unnatural angles. Natalie hadn’t commented yet so maybe it wasn’t too bad.

They talked late into the night. Mainly just small talk but you can learn a lot about someone from small talk. What Bennett learned was that there was something off about Nat, something didn’t quite add up.

The sparse tree line over the creek offered little shade from the summer sun. The grass under the children's feet crunched, dry from lack of rain and the hot August days. Sweat dripped in the twins eyes as they raced across the field. They stopped when they heard Leo's kite crash to the ground yet again.

"Let me try, Leo," Fitz ran toward the darker haired boy. Bennett following her brother.

"No," Leo said, jerking it out of the reach of the two six year olds before running deep into the field. The two gave chase laughing at the game.

Leo dashed between two trees, the kite hanging on a limb. Fitz raced after his older brother dodging through the trees. Bennett stopped at the kite. She could hear their older sister calling them. It took a few moments but she managed to free the kite from the tree. She hid it in the bushes to throw Elanora off their scent for a little longer. Hiding from her was always fun. She scrambled after the two boys.

The three young Lancasters chased each other up the incline towards the deepest part of the creek. Being spring fed the water was always flowing deep, crisp, and cool.

As Bennett crested the top of the hill catching up to her brothers Fitz slipped falling into the creek. Bennett scrambled trying to reach her twin, tripping a few times herself. Reaching the bank she could see Fitz fighting to sit up, fighting to push his way out of the water. His head was slammed back under the surface hard, red began to mix with the water.

Bennett raced to Fitz. She climbed into the water to get a better hold on her brother. She reached for his shoulders but found her hands wrapping around his throat. Bennett tried to move her hands again to his shoulder but they just squeezed tighter around his throat.

Fitz wrapped his hands around his sister’s wrists fighting her grip. Trying to break her loose. As he broke the surface of the water again. Bennett slammed him under.

Bennett’s hands slowly constricted his airway only letting up long enough to allow him to breathe in a lungful of water before squeezing again.

Tears pooled in the small girl’s eyes and streamed down her cheeks as she tried to pull away from her twin. Tried to release her hold but something forced her hand to stay even as she saw the life drain from his body. Face paling and lips tinting blue. His eyes wide, the brown that had matched her own now growing lifeless. Bennett felt her lungs burning at each mouthful of water pushed in and the raw burn from the constriction from her own hands. She felt her body temperature drop with his and her heart slow. She began losing touch with the world around her as his mind became muddled from lack of oxygen. When Fitz’s heart gave its last beat, Bennett’s hands were freed.

Immediately she tried to pull him from the water but she lacked the strength. A voice called from behind her, “Benn, what did you do?” Elenora and Leo stood on the crest of the hill looking down at her.

Panic set in. Her small hands covered in her brother’s blood. Her fault. His body floating in the swollen creek. Her fault. His lifeless eyes staring up at her. Accusing her. It was justified, she had done it. Fitz was dead because of her. Her fault.

Bennett ran from the creek and through the field back toward their home.

Her fault.

If she could get to Momma she could fix it. Momma could fix anything. Even this. The house though wasn’t where it should have been. She was lost.

Her fault.

Fitz was dying. Fitz was dead.

Her fault.

She ran and ran. Searching for home, calling for her mother. Getting no closer to finding either. The coldness she had felt from Fitz began to seep in again.

Her fault.

“Bennett,” a faint voice called.

Her heart began to slow, and breathing became shallow. She fell to her knees, tears mixing with the blood on her hands as she cried for relief of some sort.

“Bennett.”

Darkness crept in crowding her vision. She deserved this.

“Bennett”

She deserved death for what she had done. What she was capable of. Bennett lay in the field curling her small body as tight into itself as she could, surrendering to the end. Breath growing slower, pulse getting weaker, vision growing darker and body temperature dropping by the minute. It was going to be a slow death.

“Benn.”

She closed her eyes accepting fate even as the tears continued to fall. Death was scary. She lay waiting for the end but it didn’t come.

Instead of getting colder the next minute she felt an added warmth. The minute after that her vision began to soften if not lighten. She began to slip into a peaceful sleep. Breathing returning to a natural pace, listening to a soft heartbeat that was not her own but promised safety.

Killing Stalking, Bum and Sangwoo’s Feelings

Fuck chapter 33 of KS is so good, I don’t understand what people are complaining about? Koogi is a master at showing character growth and inner psyche without outright stating it.

Like, has no one noticed that since he tried to kill himself, Bum has distanced himself from Sangwoo, pushing him away - but FINALLY, he’s dependent on him again, and we saw in the previous chapters how Sangwoo’s attitude toward Bum shows real concern, like legitimately, from going back and reading previous chapters, I don’t think Sangwoo was lying when he said they were dating, Sangwoo’s motivations for a while have been his fucked up way of wooing Bum (also prob punishing him a bit too cause he cray-cray.)

After the whole rat poisoning incident and subsequent nursing, Sangwoo stopped trying to play “house” and “Mom and Dad” (for how he understood the roles) and started being kind to Bum, accepting his love, ‘dating’ him. (also kissing his puke mouth and getting a hand job). They go on like this, with Kind! Sangwoo, dating etc for a good period of time, and Sangwoo doesn’t once hurt him. After Bum betrays him in Chapter 7&8 tho, it makes Sangwoo doubt whether Bum had been lying this whole time, and Sangwoo means to kill him, BUT HE CAN’T. Already at that point, he realises he can’t lose Bum, so what does he need to do? Make sure BUM CAN’T LEAVE HIM

And so begins his games of murder with Bum (because it’s all games to Sangwoo, not in a manipulative way, but a childish way, despite his intelligence Sangwoo has the emotional maturity as a child). He needs Bum to understand and accept his murdering part of him, like he thought Bum had before chapter 7. He wants to SHARE this with him and show how much fun it is and what they can do together. And he also wants to make sure they will be together forever - just like he states outright after he thinks Bum’s run away after Seungbae first was in the house, and his inner narrative indicates Sangwoo probably like/loves Bum, but Sangwoo doesn’t recognize it himself. Once Bum’s killed someone with him, they’re stuck together forever, Bum can’t runaway from Sangwoo being a killer, because now Bum is one too!

We’ve clearly seen before the suicide attempt and flashback that Bum loves Sangwoo in his own crazy way, but only ONE facet of Sangwoo’s. He sees Sangwoo’s kind side and Sangwoo’s killing side as two completely different people - “twins”. This is why he asks Sangwoo to save him multiple times, especially during the hanging scene at the end of chapter 8, because it’s the bad!Sangwoo who is hurting him, the one he hates and fears and tries to kill, and the good! Sangwoo who he loves and stalked.

This stark duality of two opposing Sangwoos is even reflected in the special chapter, with the clown and actual Sangwoo.

So this is why Sangwoo was so hurt when Bum said he felt nothing after killing - he thought the act would make Bum love and accept him, both/all of him, finally understand Sangwoo and keep them together forever (aka murder marriage).

This is why Bum enjoys what he thinks is sex with Sangwoo so much, but then quickly feels like it’s rape when he realizes it’s the cruel actions of bad! Sangwoo doing this, not the one he loves, literally two different people to Bum.

And this is why after Sangwoo gets so angry at him after confessing about his rape and Sangwoo telling him to get out and the whole suicide attempt, Bum pulls back so much. After their “date” at the mall, Bum had thought he’d been talking and confiding in the good! Sangwoo - the realization and betrayal of Sangwoo’s reaction makes Bum understand there AREN’T two Sangwoos, only one and that is the murderer, the abuser, the one who didn’t care about Bum’s pain and the trust required to open up.

That’s why Sangwoo’s later kindness falls on deaf ears; Bum knows now there is no difference, just the one Sangwoo who will always hurt him, like everyone else in his life.

And yet… At the police station, Bum sees actual honest emotion and concern mixed into Sangwoo’s act (remember Sangwoo’s previous emotional outbursts over Bum had always been when he was not there or out cold). Sangwoo says things he wants to hear, comforts him when he’s scared, kisses him in the open, tells others they are dating, acknowledging him and not acting ashamed of him - but most importantly, he gives him him a reasonable excuse for his anger about Bum’s uncle - that moment that the two Sangwoos became only bad! Sangwoo.

Bum realizes the Sangwoo he loves really is still there (or maybe he accepts the single Sangwoo is still the Sangwoo he loves, we’ll have to wait and see) and so he reopens his heart to him, as we see is evident in Bum’s reactions in the last chapter and confirmed in this chapter.

Bum loves Sangwoo again, and Sangwoo has realised how precious Bum is to him. YET these are both two crazy assholes so who knows what will happen from here on!

At least that has been my interpretation of it.

I was arguing with my sister about whether Friends was homophobic or not and it led me down a rabbit hole watching a 50 minute supercut of every homophobic/transphobic moment in Friends (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsQ5za-J6I8). Some of it’s really not okay. Some of it actually seems to be commenting on the characters’ homophobia in a way that at least for the time might’ve been progressive. But most of it is just the kind of seemingly innocuous stuff that shapes our culture in a really harmful way.

Since coming out I’ve had a lot of people ask me why it took until I was 23. Given what I knew about being trans, of course it did. Here is a list of every representation of trans people I saw (that I can remember) in film and tv throughout my childhood and adolescence.

Friends - Chandler’s parent seems to be a trans woman. It’s somewhat hard to tell because she’s misgendered and dead named by most of the characters. Her attraction to men and wearing of women’s clothing is what Chandler considers to be the root of his emotional problems. She performs at a drag show in Las Vegas, she is very flamboyant, and she’s portrayed as very sexually aggressive (multiple jokes are made out of her coming onto Ross). She is played by Kathleen Turner. I prefer cis women to cis men playing a trans woman but here it just feels like a joke that his “father” could look so “womanly.” Ross and Monica’s dad says, “I didn’t even get to pretend like I’m okay with it” when pulled away at Chandler and Monica’s wedding. Chandler’s “dad” is played as a joke the whole series and any poignancy added when Monica convinces Chandler to invite her to the wedding is lost by the continued jokes at the wedding and throughout the series. Unrelated, Joey says he hooked up with a woman with a big Adam’s Apple. The other five friends comment that women don’t have Adam’s Apples. Joey having hooked up with a trans woman is the joke. I think about this scene all the time.

Naked Gun 33 1/3: The Final Insult - Anna Nicole Smith does a silhouetted striptease that ends with the reveal of a penis to Leslie Nielsen’s horror and induced vomiting. It’s funny because her having a penis is SO gross! Ha. Ha. Ha.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - Similar but even worse. When Ace Ventura realizes his crush/person he just kissed is a trans woman he has a full Jim Carrey freak out, eating a tube of toothpaste and showering like a cliche sexual assault victim (funny!). Then even worse at the end he reveals that she is trans by forcibly stripping her naked and revealing the outline of her genitalia tucked between her legs. This causes the dozens of cops and detectives witnessing this charade to gag. Because it’s SO gross!!!

Family Guy - There’s probably so much transphobia on this show that I don’t even remember and I certainly haven’t watched this show since high school so who knows with the later seasons. But the most obvious example was the very special episode with Quagmire’s dad coming out. There are a lot of awful jokes I don’t want to dwell on, but the worst is when Brian fills the room with vomit because he slept with her. This vomiting thing seems to be a trend.

Life of Brian - I take issue with Monty Python and lot of British comedy for constantly thinking putting a man in a dress equals comedy. I’m totally fine with sketch shows where men play women characters but the joke can’t be the gender swap. When I first tried wearing dresses outside I couldn’t shake the feeling of being a joke in a Monty Python sketch. Well, here the offense is more direct. Eric Idle’s character “wants to be a woman” and it’s played for laughs with the ultimate conclusion being that he’s detached from reality.

South Park - Similar to Family Guy I’m sure there’s transphobia throughout the series I don’t remember (plus Caitlyn Jenner jokes in recent seasons… yes I still watch for some reason). But the main issue is Mr. Garrison. “He” has gender confirmation surgery and it’s shown very graphically not in cartoon. It’s compared to Kyle wanting to be tall and black and Kyle’s dad wanting to be a dolphin. A lot of attention is given to Garrison’s testicles and ultimately in the show Garrison de-transitions. By the way, he eventually becomes the Trump surrogate and Jenner is the Pence surrogate. So the most anti-LGBTQ administration in decades is represented in the South Park world by two (?) trans people.

The Silence of the Lambs - When the Criterion Blu Ray comes out in a couple months I’m going to rewatch this and finally finish my longer piece on the movie. But we all know this one. Buffalo Bill skins women and dresses in their flesh while tucking her(?) genitals. “Would you fuck me? I’d fuck me” was a commonly repeated phrase thrown around by friends in high school. I think about that scene a lot when I look in the mirror.

Sleepaway Camp - Another in the genre of trans woman killers. The ending of this movie is really horrific. Re-watching it now, I still feel repulsed by Angela. The terrifying music, the slow camera pull back, Angela’s deranged face, the way the shadows make her transgender body look more beast than human. Oh and that she’s just dropped a human head on the ground. Writing up this list I rewatched a lot of terrible shit, but this one really hurts. Maybe because it’s still such an effective horror movie ending. Maybe because it doesn’t even give Angela any agency. It seems to imply she isn’t trans but was given forced surgery/hormones as a child. I guess this should make it better, but it makes it worse, because it implies trans people were just damaged as children. It really makes me want to cry.

Dog Day Afternoon - This is certainly one of the more sympathetic portrayals on this list even if the trans woman is played by a cis man, Chris Sarandon. Al Pacino’s Sonny robs the bank to get money for his lover’s gender confirmation surgery and the scene between them on the phone is rather poignant. Still, “Leon” is not exactly an enviable character and it all ends in tragedy.

Dressed to Kill - This movie is pretty directly a reimagining of Psycho. That movie isn’t on this list because the doctor explicitly says Norman is not a “transvestite” but it’s harmful influence is still clear. This movie does the opposite. The doctor here very clearly explains that Dr. Elliot “wanted to be a woman” and that’s what led her to kill. Lovely.

The 40 Year Old Virgin - Jay hires Andy a sex worker. She turns out to be a trans woman. Andy leaves. He’s upset at Jay. Many transphobic comments and lots of misgendering occurs. It’s a real hoot.

All About My Mother/Bad Education - I love Pedro Almódovar and I appreciate that he has always included trans characters and even cast trans actors sometimes. I don’t take issue with either of these movies. I personally didn’t see myself in them but sex work, HIV, and sexual abuse are all common experiences and totally have a place in stories about trans women. I haven’t seen either of these films since I was in high school and I’d be interested in revisiting them now.

Twin Peaks - David Duchovny plays Denise, a trans woman. It’s not that there’s anything wrong with the character, I suppose. But it also feels like including her is just to add further idiosyncrasy to Lynch’s world. Just like having a character called the One Armed Man is ableist. Lynch is gonna Lynch, but this character played by a cis man is certainly not some great representation like the revival seems to want to paint it as.

Dallas Buyers Club - Jared Leto’s Rayon is both comic relief and tragic masturbation all servicing the story of a cis straight man (in the movie… in real life he was bisexual). She never feels like a real person even as she’s meant to represent so many common experiences. Leto overacts and of course won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. It’s so exhausting being Oscar bait. But I guess it’s better than being a serial killer.

Maybe this explains why it took me until I was 23.

Six dangers of growing up with lesbian parents (jk, funny post)

The Sydney Morning Herald - Meave Marsden

My name is Maeve Marsden and I was raised by lesbian mothers. After 33 years of quiet suffering, I am ready to come out about the trials of my upbringing.

I have been inspired to share my story by a courageous woman named Cheryl Parrott. A therapist at Rich Relationships Counselling in Sydney, Parrott made a submission to the Senate inquiry into the proposed draft marriage equality bill, which was recently made public. Her submission contained the revelatory claim that children from same-sex families are far more likely to have been abused as children.

This revelation has no basis in published research, but that hasn't stemmed my need to come out about the terrors of being raised by lesbians.

Nor has the Australian Counselling Association's statement that Parrott is not an accredited member of the organisation stymied my desire to confess all.

The fact that all known research consistently proves that children raised in same sex-families do as well or better on all measures is just a bunch of heresay; like Cheryl, I am no scientist, and I have no time for data.

My usual MO in instances such as these would be to submit a heartfelt piece of prose about my wonderful, normal childhood demonstrating that queer families are perfectly healthy places to grow up. But enough is enough. I have been silent too long about the struggles of my youth.

Of course, the traumas listed below are just my personal challenges. I can't generalise about the experiences of all queer families, because that would be ridiculous. WOULDN'T IT CHERYL?

1. Lesbian folk music

While other kids grew up on Farnsy and Barnesy, I was raised on the dulcet tones of Australian folk singer Judy Small and New Zealand comedy duo the Topp Twins. Their songs were about women's rights and the union movement, community leaders and loving your family. Sure, Judy had a song about riding the Manly Ferry and the Topp Twins have a killer country track about Dolly Parton, but this indoctrination of celebrating diversity and speaking up for the marginalised left a gaping hole in my Oz Rock knowledge.

When I went to the uni bar in O Week and the other students started belting out Khe Sanh, I stood in wonderment. What was this magical cultural phenomenon? I legit just had to google how to spell "Barnesy". The struggle is real.

2. Arts and craft related torture

Did YOU have to help paint signs for the Sydney Mardi Gras and Reclaim the Night? While other kids got TV and video games, we had paint and pom poms. I still remember those long days fashioning costumes for our Mardi Gras float and writing slogans on cardboard.

Of course, when we dared to question these educational, community-focused activities we had to suffer through our parents explaining the context and history of various political movements. We had to learn stuff. There was glitter. It was the worst.

3. The k.d. lang movie, Salmonberries

No teenager should have to watch this. It's boring.

4. Wholemeal pizza dough

I used to long for my friends' white-bread Vegemite sandwiches. While I am sure other lesbian mums made regular food, mine decided to honour the age-old stereotype and become vegetarians. When I was in year 6 their vegie burger stall outsold the sausage sizzle at Fireworks Night and their gloating was grotesque.

You haven't suffered until you've bitten into thick, wholemeal pizza dough that completely overwhelms the cheesy goodness, and woe is you if the centrepiece at Christmas is a nut roast. (Incidentally, I only found out in my early 30s that nut roast is essentially stuffing. Those sneaky, lying vegetarian lesbians serving wholesome home-cooked meals. How dare they.)

5. Running into your mums at a gay bar

As a fully fledged adult lesbian, I now suffer the greatest humiliation of all. My mums may be senior citizens, but they are still engaged with pop culture and the LGBTQI community. Due to growing up with such open communication, as adults we are actually friends. We talk about our lives, share interests, travel together and happily hang out as a family.

This all sounds lovely until you're out on the town with your friends, possibly making out with your girlfriend in the corner, and you run into A Mother. And she's dancing. And wearing a really similar outfit to aforementioned girlfriend. Oh god.

6. An open approach to gender roles and sexuality

According to people like Cheryl Parrott, children who don't grow up with a mother and father won't have the correct gender roles modelled to them. Having a mother and father would have taught us that heterosexuality is the natural way of things. Children need dads to fix things and play sports, and mums to cook and clean.

My siblings and I have been raised to believe men and women can do whatever they want, and love whoever they want. We are surprised when people think men aren't able to express emotion; my brother communicates clearly and respectfully with women. I believe my career is as important as any man's and that I should be paid an equal wage. Which obviously sucks.

It's awful experiencing sexism and homophobia every day when you grew up being taught all people are equal. Maybe ignorance would have been bliss.

ABC Tag

I was tagged by @merigreenleaf! This look really cool. I’m going to do it for both Alex and Terry because they’re probably my most developed characters.

A is for Age: The story kind of covers Alex’s entire life. But at the time of the first story I wrote for them, Alex is 15, and Terry is somewhere between 30 and 33, depending on which version I’m using. B is for Biggest Fear: Alex’s biggest fear is probably losing more people. She lost Tina so early in their lives. And then a few years later her dad died, and then her mom. She drifted away from Mini. Lexi left. It was all of the people she cares about dying or leaving her.

Terry is... afraid of becoming like his parents. Cruel and heartless like his mother. And weak and submissive like his father. Also, he hates spiders. C is for Current Time: tbh, half the scenes written for these losers take place in the fall D is for Drink Last Had: Alex drinks like 90% water. Terry... you know, I have no idea. He’s a tea person, I think. E is for Everyday Starts With: Terry yelling at Alex to get her ass out of bed, and demanding to know what she’s doing in his house again. Alex rolling her eye at his fake surprise. F is for Favorite Song: I’ve got a lot of songs that I have on their playlist, but I’m not really sure which ones are their favorites. Alex is a pretty big fan of Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles. I don’t really know Terry’s music tastes, but I bet they’re songs I don’t know. G is for Ghosts, Are They Real?: Alex would argue that they are, just for the sake of arguing. And secretly, she wishes that Tina were there, even if it was only as a ghost. And her dad. But I don’t think she truly believes. Terry hasn’t dismissed the possibility, but he’s never met one. H is for Hometown: Alex has lived her whole life in Rachel, NY, and that’s where she stays her whole life. Terry grew up in Merry, NY. The next town over.

I is for In Love With: Each other, for the most part. In the past, Alex was in love with Tina, and to a degree, with Lexi. And I’m inclined to think that Terry was in love with Alcyone. He loved Aliet, but I don’t think he was in love with her. J is for Jealous Of: Terry gets jealous of Lexi, in Dark Blue. That leads to some very dramatic situations. Alex... I don’t think so? Maybe a little jealous of Aleit before she died? But not really.

K is for Killed Someone: Nah, neither of them killed anyone. Alex blames herself for Aliet’s death for awhile, but it wasn’t her fault. L is for Last Time They Cried: Depends on what time we’re in. There are points where Alex cries a lot. But the general answer is, Tuesday. For both of them. M is for Middle Name: Jean. Her full name is Hannah-Alexandria Jean Hyreh. And his is Lawrence. Terrin Lawrence Hassen. N is for Number of Siblings: Alex has 2 sisters, one younger (Mini), and one older (Andi). Terry also has 2 sisters, but only one of them is still alive. Twins, Lauren and Laurel. Lauren died when she was 9, and Terry was 12. O is for One Wish: Alex doesn’t believe in wishes. She thinks that when you wish, the world will arrange to make it happen and it would always have bad consequences. She refuses to wish. But if she did, I think she would wish that her sisters would be more understanding of her coping mechanisms. Terry... I think he wishes for his baby sister back. For a good life for his daughters.

P is for Person Last Called/Texted: Alex... probably Haidee, or Andi yelling at her to get her butt home. Or Jaci. She’s got a lot of people she talks to. Terry, probably either Lani or Alex. Maybe JH? Q is for Questions They’re Always Asked: For Alex: “What’s your excuse this time?” “Is that a lie?” “Did you do your homework?” “Alex, what’s the answer to blahblahblah?” “Alex, would you please stop upsetting my staff?” “Alex, why are you friends with a serial killer?” “How are you happy right now?”

For Terry: “Why are you so stubborn?” “Dad, can I go to Terry’s?” “Why do you always pretend you don’t want me here?” “Do I really have to do the homework even though we both know I know the material?” “Why do you spend some much time with Alex?”

R is for Reasons to Smile: Alex is a pretty happy person, all things considering. There’s a lot of things that make her smile. Terry. Jonathan. Haidee. Documentaries. Confusing people. Science. History. Learning in general. Climbing things. Rain. Later on, Ace.

For Terry: his daughter, Alex, his job, history, learning, teaching, tea, cooking, boxing. S is for Song Last Sang: I feel like Alex sings ridiculous songs in the shower. Like the song that never ends. T is for Time They Wake Up: On a normal day, early. They both have school to do. If it were up to her, Alex would get up a lot later. Terry is a morning person though. U is for Underwear Color: Terry usually wears green or black. Alex... probably black, but also whatever color there is. She isn’t picky. V is for Vacation Destination: There’s a plan for a world trip. Terry started one when he was young, he went to Kenya and Japan and Greece, and then Germany. But then he met Aleit when he was in Germany and she got pregnant and he ended up settling there for 10 years. After he moves back to the US, he and Alex plan to travel the rest of the world, especially Germany (to visit Lani’s grandparents), India (Alex’s family), Iran (Alex’s family), Israel, Mecca, Greece (to see Alcyone), and others. But then Cippie gets pregnant with Ace, and that doesn’t end up happening. And it still doesn’t happen before Terry dies. Eventually, Alex takes Lani and Ace on a trip around the world. They visit a lot of places. Germany (to see Lani’s family and friends), Greece (to meet Alcyone, and see parts of Grandma Blythe’s life), Israel, Mecca (Alex isn’t that close to her Islamic faith but since she’s doing a world trip, a pilgrimage feels like a thing to do), Iran (to see Saam’s family there), India (to see Jaya and the rest of Chandra’s family), Spain (to see where Ace’s Grandma Blythe grew up, and also Abuelo Hector’s childhood home and everything), Egypt (where Abuelo Hector’s family was from, and also Alex has always wanted to go there), Argentina (related to Grandpa Paulo’s family) Peru (there are cool ruins there), Iceland (where Lilja is from), Italy (it sounds fun), Poland (there’s no one here from Poland but I like Poland so they’d go there too). Ace is a child of the world, and she’s Alex and Terry’s daughter. They want her to see all of the parts of the world that helped to bring her into existence. All of the places her parents are from, her grand parents, her sister.

I’d say the place they keep going back to is Germany, because Lani likes to visit her grandparents there. And all her old friends. W is for Worst Habit: Alex has a lot of bad habits. She lies. She cheats. She steals. She sneaks into Terry’s house. She’s friends with a serial killer. She never does her homework and comes up with lots of excuses. She never tells her sister where she’s going. She has hacked the police records before (to be fair, Andi has a really easy to guess password). Oh, and she blackmails people a lot.

Terry... he’s stubborn. He used to have a lot of aggression issues, but now he keeps things bottled up. I feel like the fact that he started dating Alex when she was so young is probably a bad thing, even though everything was 100% consensual and generally initiated by her. X is for X-Rays; Ever Broken a Bone?: There was a plan for a separate story where Alex breaks an arm, but I never wrote it. But she does shit like chill on roofs and climb trees, so probably.

Terry was an angry kid, and rightfully so. He punched a lot of walls before he got into boxing. So I imagine he’s broken his hand before. Y is for Youth:

Terry’s youth was pretty unpleasant. He was close with his dad, but his mom was abusive, emotionally and physically. When he was 12, his mom killed his sister Lauren. A month or so later, his father committed suicide. He was pretty angry. He got in trouble at school. He was always smart, but well, his life sucked. He got into boxing. When he turned 18 and graduated high school, he got a passport and promptly went to go travel the world. It was less than a year later that he stopped in Germany and got Aliet pregnant and ended up starting a family there.

Alex... I don’t even know where to start. Half the stories are about her youth. She was a brilliant kid. Her family was well known and well liked around town. Her dad was a cop and she helped him solve cases a lot. She got married at the age of 8 to Tina Valentine in a playground wedding that actually made the news because it was protested by a homophobic kid named Maria. Less than a year later, Tina died of brain cancer, and Alex stayed with her to the end. When she was 12, her father was murdered by serial killer Jonathan Stratten. Her mother committed suicide soon after that, and Alex was left in the custody of her older sister Andi, who wasn’t exactly responsible but was trying to learn to be. Andi’s boyfriend and her father’s former partner, Hemming, moved in with them. Uh, the homophobic kid Maria teased Alex about her parents death, so Alex put her in a coma although I don’t think she meant to. Then she met Lexi, who helped her solve her father’s murder. Alex caught Jonathan Stratten and was a key witness at his trial, and along the way, developed an interesting relationship with him. In 9th grade, she ended up being abused by her history teacher, which was a nightmare. And in 10th grade, she met Terry and things changed. Let’s see what else does she do in youth? Catches Jonathan when he escapes again, helps engineer a genetic miracle in the form of Ace, adopts Ace. Catches more bad guys. Z is for Zealous: What Are They Passionate About?: Alex is passionate about a lot of things. Catching bad guys. Helping people. Sleeping. Poetry. Learning. History. Healing from the past. Curing cancer. Making the world a better place for Ace, and Lani, and the other kids. Terry.

Terry is passionate about... Ace, Alex, history, the world, teaching, becoming better, surviving.
