Coco ilu PLEASE drop the queer reading of Bunnicula essay 😭 hope ur having a good day, i am dying at the thought of (chester??) the cat looking at that tiny bunny sucking the red off an apple like 'i know what u are..'

!!!! I love you too, anon, omg, thank you so much for sending me such a delightful question! Had a surprisingly decent day as well, so I hope you had a great one too!

Thanks so much for asking me about Bunnicula - I read it in about second grade, after my 'introduction' to Dracula beyond pop culture was Dead and Loving It the year prior (and seeing Bela Lugosi clips on the old movies channels here and there), and this was a much more digestible, less terrifying experience of vampires for baby Coco.

First off, the "I know what you are" memes are funny, but genuinely, I think Chester the cat and Harold the dog were such an old married couple. They're not quite as acrid as Statler and Waldorf or as affectionate as Timon and Pumbaa, but the way they snark at each other, affectionately disparage one another's literary tastes, and tease about various neuroses, as well as playing Holmes and Watson for the mystery of the story speaks for itself! That Chester is the one who needs to overcome his prejudice of outsiders is an interesting wrinkle to this, but he's working on it through therapy and, literally, as the text says, "finding himself". I mean, if this isn't a gay cat unpacking his internalized issues and respectability politics with the help of the zanier Bunnicula and the more self-assured Harold, I don't know what is.

Next, there's Bunnicula himself; an homage to tropes of both classic vampire films and the trashy television fare of the mid-20th century, which is already historically very popular with queer people for many reasons - camp factor, the affinity many of the LGBTQ+ community towards horror, and especially how easily identifiable the vampire in particular is as a queer figure. The core message of the story is that of accepting and celebrating the differences of others; Bunnicula is indeed a vampire, but, being a vampire rabbit, only sucks the life out of vegetables and is therefore harmless - it's Chester's judgment of him making him an outsider that's the issue. (Sidenote that the concept is cute + funny + kid-friendly enough that it sidesteps the usual lame cop-out that is the vegetarian vampire.) The vampire as an outsider - and hence queer - is an age-old reading. Further, while there's definitely space for queer narratives of feeling like a monster and/or imperfect/toxic stories aimed at teenagers and adults, the vampire as specifically oppressed and in a work aimed at kids works uniquely well in this context since Bunnicula's harmlessness allows him to sidestep the usual conundrums of monster-posing-genuine-threat-as-stand-in-for-oppressed group (looking at you, Zootopia.). (Added addendum that while I mentioned narratives for kids having to exist in a simpler moral universe here, this 1:1 is an issue I have with many 'vampire as a stand-in for queer people' narratives -- True Blood/Southern Vampire Mysteries ran into it frequently, although otoh I found the latest Interview With The Vampire TV show to handle it with better nuance. It's tricky territory, to say the least)

The meta-narrative to this can't be ignored. The author, James Howe, came out as gay decades after writing this with his late first wife, Debbie, and has expressed many times that though he was closeted/uncertain at the time of writing the original novel, he on reflection must have subconsciously imbued it with themes of being a horror-loving, artistic, bullied outsider that reflected his own childhood experiences. Likewise, he's noted that Debbie, who was Jewish and had similar tastes and experiences, was probably doing the same. Since coming out, James Howe has engaged in extensive anti-bullying and equality-focused advocacy work, and has since made his priority incorporating themes of compassion towards the outsider in all his writings for kids - his later works have even featured canon gay characters. From what I've read, these themes have persisted through the rest of the Bunnicula series (though I think I only ever read the first book).

All this to say: Chester and Harold are married, Bunnicula is their flamboyant housemate.

🤎❤️🧡 for sunlexi pwettie pleek ^__^

miss coco !!! oh the honour of havin chu in mi inbox… i hope u r doin better ?! sendin u all da love n kisses n baked treats !! thank chu 4 askin btw ૮꒰ྀི∩´ ᵕ `∩꒱ྀིა pls take care of urself ilu vry much :c

how would you describe s/i? in personality or looks, whichever you’d like! or both, if you really want to ramble.

oh oh oh mister sunday… he’s sososo pretty i could ramble for hours ໒꒰ྀིっ˕ -｡꒱ྀི১ n’ his personality !!! my fave way to describe sunday’s personality is to compare him to sheet music. perhaps this comes from the pianist in me and he himself as a violinist has found this comparison a little endearing according to his words but i think at first glance, sunday may seem very difficult to read to people.

everyone sees him as the head of the family, a big impending political figure with little words to say but plenty of thoughts to give. he’s not an open book by any means to anyone; sometimes even robin and i don’t know what’s going on in his mind but just like sheet music, i think he’s easy to read if you know how to. at the end of the day, all the treble clefs, the sharps, the flats, the notes, the rests… they play out into the fascinating piece that is my husband, don’t they? eeek it’s so embarrassing to utter this to anyone but sunday !! (///▽///)

whereas looks… it’d be so stereotypical for me to refer to mister sunday as angelic but it’s so inherently fitting, is it not? the gold piercings he wears on his left wing that he always tells me “didn’t hurt” but i have never once believed those words when he can barely handle fingertips brushing over his feathers ever so slightly without shivering. his wings are sososo sensitive and he expects me to believe him !!

oh oh oh !! and his eyes… consistently remind me of midas’ touch. or the way the leaves turn golden and brown in the real world, outside of the dreamscape. how they go crispy and crunch under footfall when you’re wrapped up tight in coats and scarves, warm drinks in your hands to keep warm… he’s laughing at how flustered i’m gettin waaaah !! (,,>﹏<,,)

what’s your favourite thing about s/i?

there’s so many things i could list about sunday… sigh this really is one big dump exposing alexi for being utterly infatuated with her husband, isn’t it? but one of my top favourite things is his hands… he takes care of his skin sososo much but particularly his hands are always in his gloves, protected from the hardships of his work. it’s the best feeling in the world getting to lay beside sunday after long schedules when his gloves are discarded on the dresser, his fingertips drifting over the bare skin of my thigh just under the silk nightie i’m wearing :c his hands are just so soft and smooth… i love them !!

is there somewhere you’d like to visit with s/i? what would you do there?

in both canon!au + modern!au - under the pretence that aquariums most likely do not exist in the cosmos.. to which they probably do, i don’t know. there’s probably some weird and wonderful fishies somewhere… - but i’d like to go with sunday to an aquarium !! my second favourite thing after space (modern!au i definitely drag him to planetariums) is the ocean even though i am dreadfully terrified of it so why not explore the world below the surface with him?

i can imagine he’d probably take a lot of candid photos of me fangirling over all the pretty fishies, the corals and reefs of various fascinating colours, shapes and sizes… in canon!au, sunday would definitely think of ways to incorporate an aquarium into the dreamscape just for me and as an added bonus, he adds more sealife to the already ocean themed spaces of the dreamscape and the reverie. i can imagine how cool that’d be considering the species we hear about in-game, especially that whale in the parlor car upon the express !!
