5 comfort characters

Finally getting to this @cymatile. the notification email has been burning a hole in my inbox for weeks now and I'm glad to finally get to it!

The Beast/Prince Adam (Beauty and the Beast 1991) As a bookish autistic little girl, I of course identified very strongly with Belle. As a city kid in a small town, I still do sometimes. But as an adult, I find myself drawn to the other half of the pairing. Belle is of course a lovely young lady, and I appreciate how she only respects the Beast when he first extends respect to her. But let us face it, she is too perfect a character to be truly compelling. Beast is quite the work in progress, though, and that's what makes him so fascinating. You thrill as you watch him angst and snarl and throw his weight around -- first to frighten and threaten others, then to protect the woman he loves. You are charmed as he discovers joy and companionship, then mourn with him as he gives it up to return Belle's freedom to her. And you're just a little disappointed when he changes into a generically-handsome man, even if it does mean he and Belle get to live happily ever after. Plus, as the meme says: "I'll get that bitch a library. Bitches love libraries."

Shane (Stardew Valley) Okay, I've read all the criticisms many times. He starts out mean to you for no reason. He's a total slob and a sad sack. He never actually quits drinking. He looks like Ben Shapiro. And I gotta tell you: I cannot fault this very good chicken man for any of it. This is another guy that I feel no choice but to root for because he struggles with so many flaws. I appreciate that the game doesn't let you "fix" them for him: you only give him the help he directly asks you for. He makes the most important changes himself, and the stuff he doesn't change isn't a dealbreaker for me. Plus Shane kind of looks like my IRL spouse so I gotta love him just for that, y'know? I can't forgive him for liking gridball, though. As a nerd, jocks are my natural enemy. Sorry, I don't have a choice!

Entrapta (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power) Not a lot of people know this, but ND Stevenson called me up while he was developing the She-Ra reboot and asked for my input. I asked him, "Are you going to have a woman character with autistic coding in the show?" "Yes, we're going to have one of those," he said. "And is she going to have a special interest that few other characters in the show understand or empathize with?" "Okay, yeah." "Is she going to despair of ever finding genuine human connection and try to find solace in technology before learning that yes, there are people who care about her and value her uniqueness?" "Ooh, that's a good idea. Sure." "And can you pair her up with an angsty boy?" "I can definitely do that. Thanks, Maggie!" And that's why Reboot Entrapta is the way she is. You're welcome, everyone. 4. Wayne (Scarlet Hollow) I already post a lot about this guy, so I won't say much this time. I like him because he lets me explore the idea of being the subject of extreme passion and devotion in a way that doesn't put me in actual danger. I would never seek out that kind of relationship in real life, but love beyond proportion, beyond reason, beyond sanity is compelling in fiction. Plus he makes for some fun memes. 5. Mr. Pages (Fallen London) I love this big ol' nerd: its creative vocabulary, its book hyperfixation, and how bad it is at hiding the fact that it's not human. As soon as they put out the balance patch for Mask of the Rose, I am going to figure out how to smooch it, and you cannot stop me.

tagging nobody! Do this if you feel like it.

Yay! My Mr. Pages finally came in the mail today!

Look at this little guy! I love this bastard bat so much! Thanks to ThePigeonsNestUK for making this space bat!

in the silent era of horror, the word "horror" began to be used as a generic signation, and more often instead used was the words "weird" and "mythical and mysterious." this is a time when adaptions were so rapidly made like frankenstein and edgar allan poe's works dominated this era. horror as a genre wasn't specifically "created" or the word wasn't used until dracula in the 1930s.

98% of the book press is Daniel convincing hosts that vampires exist, 2% is coming across freaks that believe it AND read between the lines AND ask the important questions such as So there was some interesting tension between you and The Vampire Armand 😏

Round 2 begins March 16th at 4 PM CST!

First up, Lady Dimitrescu (Resident Evil Village) dominated Dread Cthulhu (Cthulhu Mythos) in a landslide vote! She's going up against Elias Ainsworth (The Ancient Magus Bride), who just managed to squeak past the mighty Medusa (Greek Mythology) in our closest fight so far.

Next is The Princess (Slay the Princess), who choke-slammed Zoe (Monster Prom) after a hard-fought battle. She will face The Amphibian Man (The Shape of Water), who just barely managed to drag Marceline the Vampire Queen (Adventure Time) beneath the waves.

After them is Wayne (Scarlet Hollow), who effortlessly squished Rachnera Arachnera (Monster Musume) in our most one-sided fight to date. His next opponent is Mr. Pages (Fallen London, Mask of the Rose), the Master of the Bazaar who efficiently mastered Milo Belladonna (Monster Camp).

Next is The Beast AKA Prince Adam (Beauty and the Beast), who gutted the sublime Shai-Hulud (Dune) in a serious scuffle. He will fight Sans (Undertale), who defeated Noel Levine (Witch's Heart) with technology and guile.
