Thinking about a Madhel soulmate AU (not necessarily romantic) and kinda going feral.

Death mark AU-have the way your soulmate will die symbolised on your body (perhaps tattoos, perhaps scars, lil symbols idk)

Helen always wearing turtlenecks to hide her phantom neck scars. (Madeline figuring her soulmates probably in combat from the shotgun wound. maybe she goes after soldiers to date? maybe she avoids them?)

Even juicier, if they know about the others soulmate mark and still kill each other like in canon. (Maybe helen plans to kill madeline with a sleeping pill and drowning cause she knows deep down it won’t work or maybe to prove the little voice in her ear that keeps saying she obsesses over Mad a little too much wrong). Would Madeline figure out about Helen immediately after she dies? Is her choice to shoot helen hers or fates? dbsbvagdjsjbq

Maybe it’s unrequited soulmatism in that maybe Helen is Ernest’s soulmate or neither of the ladies or maybe Helen and Mad aren’t even soulmates and choose each other anyway?! the possibilities (0.0)

The theming of only finding each other after death, after the pressure to compete and be societally perfect is gone, after the pressure to Succeed before time is up is no longer relevant is present strongly in DBH and i think could be explored through a medium like this. If i was a writer, I will absolutely write this but alas :/ so if anyone wants to yap please i am all ears.

We've been doing this for five years??? Back to the Future was released forty years ago on July 3rd 1985, and every July for the past five years we've gotten together this way to celebrate!

There’s a prompt each day - try one, some, or all. Poetry, fanfic, songs, friendship bracelets, cosplay, aesthetics, anything BTTF is welcome!

Just tag your creations #mcflyjuly so we can find and share them!

This year: 🎉 Because it's Back to the Future's 40th birthday, there are 40 prompts! The last 9 are secret, and will be revealed randomly throughout the month. Each one will post at 12 noon EST on this blog, so keep an eye out--you never know what day a surprise prompt will drop. 👀

and Because it's McFly July's 5th birthday, we're gonna party like Doc & Marty! 🍔👑 No one should know too much about their future, so I can't say much here, but if I reblog/reply to a McFly July post of yours with a burger emoji, that's a sign you'll be getting a little something in your inbox!

Have fun and please don't drive 88!

Felt like sharing something sooooo here’s the first 20 seconds of shorthands for a MadHel storyboard!

Vanished for a hot minute bc of a trip and then getting sick and stuff but I haven’t been totally absent! I HAVE been planning a Death Becomes Her month long art challenge based around the outfits of the show- in fact, that’s pretty much done save for me putting all of the outfit refs together! Thinking of making it for August for those intrigued. I also wanna clean these boards up a bit and toss this on YouTube, so lots of MadHel coming in the future!

Anyways. I’m not dead I swear. Siempre Viva-ed maybe, but not dead

Madeline Ashton has donated $2,000,000 to the LGBTQIA+ community.

"Let me in!” the two-time Oscar-nominated actress exclaims. “I hope they make it more contagious!”

I would like to (respectfully and kindly and mostly jokingly) disagree! It is not just for fun, it’s a double meaning, which makes it even more brilliant.

Because you are right, op. It is an homage to other musicals, being silly and camp and fun, but that’s when you read the lyrics as *for the gays* (which, of course, is what the song wants you to do). However, the song is also Madeline’s I Want song, showing her desires and and setting up her growth through the musical.

When you read the song as *for the gaze*, Madeline is singing about how much she wants the attention. She would do anything for it, whether that’s an innocent outfit change, or stealing Helen’s boyfriend’s for her whole life. She craves being the center of attention, which sets up her reason for why she goes to the lengths she does for Helen’s (and the worlds) gaze.

BUT ALSO, looking at the choreography, we get hints that, even though Madeline needs the attention, in this current state of her arc, she is lazy enough to not fulfill those promises to get it. The best example is “I’ll go one step beyond and give you Grand Jetes”. She… just doesn’t do it. She lets her backup dancers do it. Despite being the one who is desperate for attention, she is giving 50 percent a lot of the time throughout the song. It sets up her growth for later, right now she needs attention but doesn’t need to work for it. 10 years later, she still needs attention, but now it doesn’t come as easily. It pushes her to seek the potion and go to lengths to not disappear.

I dunno. I think without the song, Mads just becomes a petty villain. But with it, she becomes way more human and desperate, and allows us to sympathize and root for her. And, of course, it makes her a gay rights supporter, which might be the most important thing of all

Death Becomes her gains my heart by making the second official song of the show a big reference to other musicals and Mad going “ i do it for the gays, i love the gays “ complete with a rainbow behind her and clicking her ruby shoes of the Judy Garland Dorothy cosplay

And the thing is, ITS A COMPLETELY USELESS SONG, IT DOESN’T TIE INTO THE PLOT AT ALL

They did that for fun, and for the gays

I said I would make the tiny desk art and goddamn it I did

See it’s funny because…

Also! DBH Artists and creatives I’m debating hosting a DBH month long challenge a la inktober! It would be based around the fits Mads and Hel and co wear- if that sounds fun let me know I’ll whip something up for it!
