I saw few posts going around about superwholock being the peak queer baiting and how finally we have shows with complex queer characters and storylines… why do you have to put doctor who with the other two?

Did this mean nothing

Dr Jekyll & Sister Hyde (1971) - German program

[indigo-brainspark]

(dcst x knh crossover) struck w the idea of senku making vanilla essence. and maomao deciding to take a shot of it. he warns her it's a bad idea. this only strengthens her resolve. but also he rlly wants to see what happens, so he's lowkey encouraging it. bc the peak dynamic between them is encouraging each other to do inadvisable shit.

🐝I just think animal symbolism is neat. I don't have anyone in mind frankly I don't even mind if you just list people

🐝 - character with their daemon (or animal familiar.)

[OC ask meme: drawing studies]

HELLO! You have activated my lore beam!

because literally every human character in my fuckass robot story is named/themed after a bug (invertebrate) with symbolic importance to their character

that said, not all of those bugs are what they would have as a daemon/familiar so you get answers for both if i have them

Atlas' daemon would be a garter snake (or possibly another type of snake if I was thinking about this for longer). It just feels fitting for their personality. Also, in canon Atlas had a pet snake when they were much younger. They don't keep pets anymore, though.

Their symbolic bug, however, is the Atlas Moth! This ties into themes of metamorphosis and the classic self-destructive symbolism of "a moth to a flame". Notably, the atlas moth, like many moths, cannot eat after metamorphosis; it will eventually starve to death, and just has to hope it can do what it must before then.

Portia's hypothetical daemon and symbolic bug are one and the same: a jumping spider of the Portia genus. Spiders of this genus are known for hunting web-weaving spiders much larger than themselves by imitating the vibrations of trapped prey in their webs. They are unusually intelligent, and carefully and tactically navigate their environment.

Portia is the one person here who chose a bug-themed name on purpose. It started as an aspirational/"cool" matrix-esque hacker name, but then she needed a new name post-transition. She is also the one person who is both enough of a conspiracy theorist and enough of a bug nerd to notice all these themed names, messing up my plans. Ah well, not like there's any connection in-universe between all these names.

Lightning round of the rest of the characters because I don't have drawings for them:

Ducky is themed around the rubber ducky isopod. They're cute, popular, and make for a good pun on rubber duck debugging. Her daemon might be a ferret or a songbird of some sort.

Dr. Cecelia "I keep forgetting to post this one" Gall is themed around gall-forming insects in general, bugs that grow within plants and alter the plant around them. Benefiting from them, but physically surrounded.

Reporter [undecided first name] Bates is themed around ant-mimic spiders.

There's also the CEO who is. somehow gonna be named after leucochloridium paradoxum i just have to figure out how that works. and Dr. Bradley Campsis, who is themed around trumpet creeper (campsis radicans), a flower rather than a bug.

Treehouse Of Horror ideas

So I've noticed how several horror icons were never adapted into THOH. I've come up with ideas how to portray these horror icons.

Halloween. Maggie is Michael. Maggie kills Bart(all the while Bart says ¡Ay, caramba! as Maggie stabs him) Doctor Hibberts is Doctor Loomis and Lisa is Laurie.

Friday The 13th. Mona Simpson is Mrs Voorhees. Marge is Alice and in a Part 2, Homer is Jason

Psycho. Seymour is Norman Bates and Agnes is Mrs Bates

Scream. Millhouse and Martin are Ghostface and Lisa is Sidney. Millhouse's motivation is Lisa keeps rejecting him and Martin's motivation is he can now be the smartest kid in Springfield. Meanwhile Nelson is a more gruff and grizzled version of Randy and gets the girl in the end, much to Millhouse's misery

Phantasm. Reverend Lovejoy as The Tall Man

The Thing. Snake as Macready, aside from that I have no idea

The Purge, everyone in Springfield killing each other

Saw. The citizens of Springfield have found themselves victims of Sideshow Bob, having been kidnapped and placed in "Saw" like traps intended to challenge their will to survive. Unfortunate for their captor, no one in this town is really willing to try all that hard.

American Horror Story. The Simpsons find themselves confronting every American Horror Story cliche in the book as they move into their recently inherited home by the bayou in New Orleans, inhabited with witches, vampires, demon babies, pig faced murderers and all sorts of other monsters intended on maintaining their "Simpson-free" lifestyle. Other than that, I think adapting Murder House, Coven or Freak Show would work.

The Texas Chainsaw Massacre. The Simpsons family's car runs down on a family trip and lands on Cletus' family farm. Cletus and his family are the Slaughter family Or alternatively. Homer is Leatherface, Moe is the Cook and Lenny is the Hitchhiker

Jennifer's Body. Jessica Lovejoy is Jennifer and Lisa is Needy.

American Psycho. Smithers is Patrick Bateman. Only, Smithers kill those whom he sees as a threat to his position as Mr Burns' favorite...oh and kills women cause he's a gay misogynist

Anyone with their own ideas on how to adapt unused horror characters are welcomed to share!

The Universe: Here are all these men. Pick a few and we'll generate a 'type' for you.

Me: Okay. That one, that one and that one.

The Universe: Okay... So... All the ones you picked? All of them are 30+.

Me: ...

The Universe: Are you okay

The main cast of The Phantom (1943), a 15-chapter serial from Columbia Pictures:

Kenneth MacDonald as the villainous Dr. Bremmer, Tom Tyler as Geoffrey Prescott*/The Phantom, Frank Shannon as Prof. Davidson, and Jeanne Bates as Diana Palmer.

(* Yes, I know The Phantom's real name is Kit Walker. However, at that time in the comic strip he was still a mysterious, unnamed stranger. So the writers of the serial just made a name up.)
