Holy Ghosts: Chapter 2. Part 2.

Haha Noel hey buddy what was that for

[emmaanimatesyt]

Not me scrolling through the Conclave tag only to see no one talk about the deliberate positioning and framing of the women in this movie.

Pulling up this movie I completely expected to only encounter Sister Agnes as the one woman we see in the trailer, the conclave a space that has been kept from the female members of the church. Now, color me surprised when I started the movie and most of the establishing shots we got were focused on all the women working in the Vatican.

And it is such a deliberate choice, it does the film a disservice not to talk about it.

Because while Cardinal Lawrence is having his fifteenth breakdown during sequestering and Bellini finds the ambitious asshole within himself, Ray does all the leg work, and Bel---- we see the women work.

We see the kitchens, we see them cook, we see them stand aside. Most of the time when the Cardinals are conspiring it is the women who interrupt because they are busy working, walking, running errands.

And there is power in that.

I think it is very deliberate how often (and with such lingering gaze) the camera shows us the lives of the other half - partially to connect to the wider themes of the movie, on how Bellini asks for women to get more power but never thanks them, and how Benitez stumps them all by thanking the women preparing their meals when asked to say the prayer (considering his own probably tumultuous relationship to gender within the church).

But it also stands in direct opposition to a long tradition in story telling: servants don't exist. How often the heroes of a regency romance are "alone" because the two hand maidens and three maids don't really count.

Conclave doesn't do that.

It doesn't let us look away.

Between all the petty drama, the politics, and the real life consequences of the conclave, we never stop looking at the people doing all the work.

Yes, we follow the ups and downs of Lawrence and Co, but in doing so the movie reminds us again and again of the women working the kitchen.

And that was just such a powerful artistic choice in a movie about a famously misogynistic church... I loved it. And I had to talk about it.

Malevolent OC Compendium

This is a compilation of every Malevolent podcast OC I could find! I wanted to show off everyone's lovely work in a single, easily accessible place. So many people ask to see each other's OCs to draw or write them together, and can't find them easily, so here they all are!

I attempted to correctly name, tag, and describe them all, though you'll notice I could not provide a description for each one, and there may be some missing all together. This was not an intentional dig at anyone! There are over 100 OCs, and I put together this list in my free time, so if there is anything you would like added, removed, or changed, please just let me know and I'll fix it as soon as I can!

I plan to just edit this list instead of using reblogs to add more information, so be sure to check it periodically for the latest version! May also add color coding to help indicate who is a KiY cultist, Nyarlathotep worshipper, civilian, etc. at a glance.

Bill Rose/Wilma Rosenburg (@amaritheartist)

A male impersonator/drag king that is attempting to get all his queer friends to put on a production of the KiY play entirely in drag.

The Scribe (@arthur-lesters-music-stand)

KiY cultist, continues the tradition of writing scripture in the style of the KiY play. Constantly receives visions of what the King is currently doing in order to transcribe it into maddening text. She could ignore the King’s split soul for a while, but once John joined with Arthur, she became inflicted with double visions about what both parts of his soul were up to. Tired, small, and yearning for a calm and normal life though she is, she’s now on a warpath to kill Arthur Lester or return John to the King, whichever is faster, to end the double visions.

Entropy Kayne (@spookyhetero)

Caraline Linetta/The Speaker (@strelitzia-mystery1097)

Runs her late grandfather's doll shop, is selectively mute, talks through dolls and notepads, and becomes the mouthpiece of the KiY after making a doll of him by accident.

Carmichael (@tea-and-formaldehyde)

Murder-happy KiY cultists. Karolina is a dancer.

Ghost Kayne (@unfortunategenderfluxmushroom)

[emmaanimatesyt]

My name is Samar @samarsh1l , and I'm a mother fighting to save children from starvation.

No milk. No diapers. No medicine.

But what I need now more than anything is milk and diapers—urgently.

And I'm terrified...

He looks away, fearing my baby won't get milk.

This isn't just a message.

This is a real cry for help—from a mother who gave birth amidst bombing and terrorism.

My baby needs 50 euros every two days in total to buy milk and diapers due to the rising prices.

Please, if you're buying, donate even just 20 euros.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for not ignoring me.

I love your oc, shes so pretty!! So I decided to draw her :3

She looks like she likes art deco/noveau tbh

Also heres a little piece of her and my oc meeting, he is not experienced with human shops lol

jantbdndngnAAAA OMG I LOVE IT!!!! IM SO GONNA DRAW UR OC TOMORROW

yesss!!! I think she would like art deco decoration!! I love the lamp!!

[emmaanimatesyt]

your malevolent oc is super pretty,,, i love her,,, expect a doodle tomorrow,,,

also what is her name if you don’t mind me asking? in one post you call her isabella and in the other you call her julia

i was still deciding a name for her but I think I might use Julia for her in terms of her lore as like a pen name/fake name. Isabella is her actual name :)

Also i was really tired lol, I might've just accidentally put the name so now I'm just creating a lore reason for it! Happy accidents lol

[emmaanimatesyt]

more doodles of Julia/Isabella like I promised!

I’ve fleshed out her story a bit more aswell.

How she probably got all of those haunted books in her collection was through either,

A. Snooping where she shouldn’t be and “borrowing” them because they looked interesting

or

B. Buying them off of people who wished to sell the books for cheep, most likely because they just wished to be rid of the books.

To some degree, she’s aware that the books in her possession aren’t normal at all but she isn’t aware to what the books are connected to (Cults, eldritch gods, etc).

[emmaanimatesyt]

Saw @potato-lord-but-not, @capesch-arts, and @beentobeetle’s Malevolent ocs and i decided to jump on the band wagon because I loved the ideas! :D

this is Isabella Castillo. Originally from the Dominican Republic, she always dreamed of owning a bookstore. She immigrated to New York in 1930 during Trujillo’s military coup due to political instability in search of better opportunities and there she opened her bookstore in New York City. Somehow she got her hands on many occult and eldritch books and made a collection. Occasionally strange things happen in her bookstore because of this lol. Ill probably draw more of her later!

Me and U(FO) 👽🐄

[emmaanimatesyt]

Urgent appeal to those with merciful hearts.🚨 I hope you will help me save my child from his serious illness, which may lead to the worst if we do not address the bad situation that he and my husband are going through, who is injured in this war.

I am Najah Al-Hila, married to Khaled Muqdad from Gaza City. I am a mother of four young children. My family consists of Waleed, 9 years old, Mira, 6 years old, Ahmed, and Mayar, 3 years old.

Ahmed suffered from head cramps and increased electricity after his birth. He was given medication and had blood tests done every two months to make sure his health was stable. He suffered from these cramps in 2021. My husband also suffered from liver and digestive system problems five years ago and is still suffering from these problems. Over time, my husband was injured during the war, which made things worse for him. We thank God for everything. Because of the instability and unavailability of the medication, we face difficulties in buying medications due to their high prices. Now life has become very difficult and the prices of medications have increased due to their scarcity. Things have become more difficult due to the lack of money and his expensive treatment, which has led to its unavailability due to money. I hope that all donors and supporters will not forget Ahmed and his father Khaled in alleviating their pain by providing the costs of his treatment and buying him the appropriate medicine and food. We also do not forget his brothers from the malnutrition they suffered from during this difficult period.

Please everyone pay attention, I have been away from you for a while due to my health condition. I hope this situation is taken seriously. My husband and children's lives are in grave danger, I hope you do not suffer what he suffered. May your children and loved ones be safe and sound. I hope you help in their treatment and that their condition, which has worsened over time, stabilizes. Save Khaled and Ahmed from this disease that has afflicted them, please. Help us.

Note: My husband Khaled was working as a teacher before the war and obtained a teaching certificate from Al-Aqsa University and became an Arabic language teacher, but he was not lucky enough to find a job, so he became a worker due to the poor economic situation we are going through. At the end of my talk, he became injured and unable to work in this current situation. I hope you do not forget this and take it into consideration that there is a mother who seeks to preserve her husband and children by fighting for them. Your support is a support for me in these critical moments that we are living in and we may not live due to the repeated attacks by the occupation and the failure to reach an agreement to end the war.

We are now living in dilapidated tents, my child and husband are suffering.

We can no longer provide the necessities of life. My family's future is completely destroyed. I can no longer live in Gaza. I want to leave the Strip and treat my child and husband, so I need $5,000 per person.

I hope that everyone who watches my story will help me.

To get out of Gaza and find treatment and a better life for my children and family.

I am asking for help, and I hope that you will help me and donate to me.

To save my life from death.

I hope that you will donate even $25-50, it would be wonderful.

This will save my child's life. My husband's life. Donate to help Ahmed and his father evacuate Gaza.
