Ok, I was a little off. This show isn't the anti-Totally Spies.

If anything Buffy Summers seems like an evangelical Kim Possible. But mocking nerdy girls isn't any better than mocking Valley girls.

At least that's what I can gather from the first episode with the whole underground Christian rave party and Luke going on about how the master will inherent the earth and the devil will come to town. And does it bother anyone else that Angel is like forty and giving a SIXTEEN-YEAR-OLD girl presents after being caught stalking her???

Did I mention that Angel is one of Buffy's infamous love interests???? Which makes the aforementioned weirdness even more uncomfortable😣

I'm kinda triggered right now, not gonna lie. Cause I'm getting some pretty strong anti-Paganism vibes from this first episode. But can the show really be called anti-Pagan if its based off of vampire mythology which is rooted in Christianity??? Or at least it is in the Western world -- there are some pretty cool Asian mythologies about vampires or blood-sucking creatures.

By the way, I'm also a Pagan witch, so if you're wondering why I'm just a little upset that would be why.

So I am gonna take a pause and just hold off on that second episode. Cause I need a moment to process and decompress before I try to deal with anymore potentially rightwing fearmongering bullshit. That crap was everywhere in the 90s courtesy of Satanic Panic. And, no, I'm not being dramatic -- anyone who tells you Pagans don't face discrimination is extremely ignorant.

Wiccans weren't even allowed to have pentacles on tombstones until like 2008 and it wasn't until the 2010s that pentacles were allowed in most schools in the US. I'm not a Wiccan but I do emphasize with them cause that is some grade-A Christofascist bullshit.

This is all googleable, by the way.

Idle Hands (1999)

[danielstalter]

The Prom Queen was an exceptionally fun and bloody romp through Shadyside. It pulled off having a large cast of characters much better than many of its Fear Street predecessors, at least so far as the five prom queen candidates went. I can’t say the same for the boy characters; they all kinda blended together aside from being suspects. There are also some great examples in this book of how you don’t have to be a killer to be a total fucking creep. It was kinda funny how the students and parents were all anxious about the recent murders in Shadyside, as though murders don’t happen there all the time. It was also pretty ridiculous that the school would put on a play and do the prom on the same weekend. I mean, Shadyside is hardly a normal town, but maybe this was a tradition in some high schools. I can’t say for sure. It sounds like a logistical nightmare to me. In fact, I would say my biggest issues with the book were the baffling decisions made by the minor adult characters. I was pleasantly surprised by the twist at the end. That alone elevates this book for me. The plot may have followed a familiar Fear Street formula, but I felt like The Prom Queen was one of the best-executed books to use it.

Score: 4
