A casual analysis of Pan’s Labyrinth makes the use of Captain Vidal as a representation of Del Toro’s Daddy issues incredibly clear.

However, the HSC markers probably don’t care for a thesis about Daddy issues in their selected texts, so we’ll focus our analysis on fascism instead.

Stay tuned for opinions on T.S Eliot and his clear need for therapy and for Ezra Pound to hold his hand.

He usually does a HBD story post for friends. He didn't for his bestie (former?) Kevin yesterday. I bet he will for new bestie Cal tho. Everyone has something going on in their lives but him. And what's up with the working out music choices? And what's up with suddenly showing his coffee? And what's up with you Coral? You up to anything fun lately?

Oh... So Kevin is not glue in his life anymore when he's on someone else's payroll? Please excuse me muffins while I put on me absolutely not surprised hat x.x

Dunno when gym bro is celebrating and I don't care to find out so someone tell me if he skipped or I missed it?

Also I have no idea about the music cuz I already worked out a reflex to take out me earbuds or mute as soon as I do anything Benny related. Just as a precaution. Ye know putting on the sunscreen cuz sun wants to kill us, turning off the sound cuz Benny wants to make me regret that humans developed hearing...

Oh and muffin thanks for asking 😘 Coral is always up to no good. But fun stuff? Well I finished Shogun. I wouldn't exactly say it was fun but it was good xd also can I just say that Anna Sawai was phenomenal? And so was Moeka Hoshi like she motherd so hard x.x anyway I'd seen Anna in Pachinko before but like now I'm putting her on my little shelf right next to MJ like Benny who? Consider - WOMEN

Anyways xd hope ye are good to hun 😘

Plz send more (I’m insanity incarnate, I know)

I got three who popped in off the top of my head anon! If anyone's got other options for anon, please reply to this post or reblog with em!

Putting this under a cut but also here's a tl;dr

Abe Sapien, from Hellboy

Fishman, from The Shape of Water

Creature from the Black Lagoon, from the movie of the same name

Just wanna say, since this is a first for us; it's gonna be hit or miss if we know other options for yall - we might have to often turns these over to followers for yall to chime in for peeps!

~ Ghoul ☢

I mean there's our Lord and Savior Abe Sapien from Hellboy. We can't have this list without him. (Got a poll for him somewhere in the queue as of posting this. He'll show up at some point!)

[Official Comic Art from one of the verses (the Abe Sapien specfic comics] [Abe as played by Doug Jones in the Del Toro Hellboy movies]

And can't forgot the Fishman from The Shape of Water (another Del Toro movie, with Doug Jones our beloved actor of creatures) (we've already done a poll for this guy!)

Honestly Im sure this exists because Del Toro saw what the Hellboy fandom did to Babe- (cough) I mean Abe Sapien.

Let's go old-school for a moment and hit up classic movie monsters! 1954's Creature from the Black Lagoon, anyone!? (Gonna make a poll for this guy, don't worry.)

Bookworm Will Review 2024 (#3)

Title: 'Tentacles and Triathlons'

Author: Ashley Bennett

Rating: 3/5

Review: (MILD SPOILERS)

The palette cleanser I didn't know I needed after reading Modelland!

I didn't have much interest in the rest of the series, thankfully they're all individual stories, but seeing a bearded queer monster romance was kind of an easy sell for me. Plus Cyrus (the kraken) is an artist, so another huge sell for me.

A pretty straight forward plot, training for a triathlon while fighting off feelings that you have the hots for your kraken swim coach despite childhood trauma/fears surrounding monsters. While the story wasn't ground breaking, I think it held up its end on providing some steamy spice~

Cyrus was more daddy than expected, so like I was taken a back, but I ain't mad though.... lucky Reece lmao

I kept picturing Abe from the original Hellboy movie, but with the attitude provided by monster lover daddy del toro. *chef kiss*

Frankenstein Adaptation Brainstorming...

Okay, so I was listening to the I, FRANKENSTEIN episode of We Hate Movies; it reminded me of why I loved the novel in the first place, how supposedly Guillermo del Toro has plans for his own adaptation (something to look forward to when the workers finally get their due pay) & I just thought of a bunch of ideas of what would I do if I had the budget & skills to adapt the story to film.

Have Victor Frankenstein bring his creation (for simplification I'mma call him Adam) to life via alchemy, not science. As much as I love the story, I hate that the public's takeaway all these years was that Victor's pursuit of scientific research was what did him in, not his hubris or negligence as a science-daddy. Every movie that has had a plague caused by medical research I blame on this long-standing interpretation of Frankenstein's story & I've had enough of it. Especially in a Covid-19 plague-ridden world fostered by anti-education pundits and supporters who believe willful ignorance is the same thing as having a personality. For the record, that's actually why I legitimately liked the animated FRANKENWEENIE remake; THAT version of Victor Frankenstein brought his dead dog back to life out of love in spite of an anti-science, anti-education society, while his classmates created kaiju-style monsters cuz they were just in it for the fame.

Film Adam's (earlier) scenes backwards. Theoretically this would depend on the film's initial budget, but I would want to film Adam's scenes backwards similarly to the dwarf dream sequence in TWIN PEAKS, or Sadako's spooky walk in RINGU. Adam's appearance is described in the book as being beautiful, but also unworldly. Even Mary Shelley herself described her nightmare that inspired the story of being about a creature moving in an unnatural manner. These days folks have interpreted that as him having an uncanny valley effect, centuries before "uncanny valley" was even a thing. Hence filming the actor moving backwards & then playing the film in reverse, a good ol' Jean Cocteau method, would be perfect to illustrate on film how off-putting & seemingly unnatural Adam would look to others. Depending on the budget, this might only take place during the first half of Adam's life story. Like as the story goes on, as he matures & faces more hardship, he becomes more human & his movements become more natural. And of course during the "backwards" parts of the film the actor's dialogue would be pre-recorded & lip-synced backwards on set.

Give the story a queer edge. Not gay subtext, but text right there on the screen. What I always got out of the story wasn't that Victor was in the wrong to play god, but that he was a negligent science-daddy who wasn't willing to accept the responsibility of raising a science-child. I say we take that up to its realistic, real-world parallel: If you're not willing to have a child who is gay or trans, etc., then you shouldn't have agreed to be a parent at all. In the scene where Adam asks that Victor create a companion for him, Adam expresses he does not wish to be a father himself. Victor offers to make sure his lady friend can't get pregnant, but then Adam clarifies that's not what he meant. He wants a male companion. And that's why Victor refuses to grant his wish. Because he's a bigot who cares more about the "ew! gay!" factor rather than someone else's happiness. It also adds an extra layer of rage on Adam's part that we can kind of empathize with when he murders Victor's wife. If Victor thinks he has the right to deny Adam happiness with another man, then why should Victor be inherently granted the bliss of a heteronormative relationship?

As far as casting goes, I'd want to cast Norman Reedus as Adam. This is a bit of self-indulgence on my part. (^_^) In the book Victor's first-person description of his creation is of "being beautiful", except for the color of his eyes. So having a good-looking actor play Adam isn't a HUGE stretch for us fans of the novel. Why Norman Reedus, though? Despite what you might think, it's not because of the WALKING DEAD trivia aspect. (Though that couldn't hurt.) It's more because a) I've always thought Norman Reedus was handsome, b) I loved him as the voice of Striker in HELLUVA BOSS, and c) that low, raspy quality to his voice I think would work really well for Adam's characterization. This is a guy who is maybe a year old in age, but he's faced so much hate, rejection & isolation from the world that emotionally he has already aged to that of a lonely, damaged adult. (Goth and emo bands like Evanescence, Good Charlotte or Paramore could NOT have come sooner for this guy's level of angst.) Also he'd be the only American in a cast of mostly Brits. Partly because Adam is an outsider in the society he was created in. (That was the ONE thing I liked in Kenneth Branagh's FRANKENSTEIN; casting the American Robert De Niro as Frankensten's creation.) But also you could find a bit of subtext about the American being the messed-up child of British colonists.

But, yeah, I just wanted to get this creative outlet off my chest cuz I really don't see myself being successful enough to actually make this happen.

If there's anyone reading this who DOES, you have my permission to use any of these ideas. Go nuts! I can't copy-claim any of these ideas if I wanted to, & I'd rather see it fall into the hands of someone with a great mind who thinks alike who is capable of making this Frankenstein adaptation.

ADDITIONAL MINI-TANGENT: The big reason I hated Kenneth Branagh's FRANKENSTEIN was basically the same for why I hated Francis Ford Coppolla's DRACULA. Both movies just gave off a feel of "We're too edgy & cool for this slow-burn Gothic horror, we're gonna be loud & IN YOUR FACE with the blood & the gore & the sex & the screaming! We're MODERN!" Horror novels that I loved for the foreboding atmosphere, SUBtext & lingering dread were turned into movies that so DESPERATELY wanted to be hard-core they wound up coming off as way too try-hard for my own Gothic horror tastes.
