Lilith is not part of the Biblical canon in any Judeo-Christian religion, and people's obsession with her cheap mythos is frankly a testament to the cheapness of our age. The popular view of Lilith is like if a 22-year-old BookTokker with a minor in Women's Studies wrote a reimagining of Genesis.

Favorite Angela Moments 29/∞: Mamma Mia! But Different (Baby, Baby Version)
SPOILERS AHEAD
Syd and Olivia writing this in one night (and having cameos in the show)
Vic as a mommy influencer and mom to Blakely (Gabe)
Nurse Mariah's recurring "1 in 10 babies are born premature" bit
Mary Lou as Pearl "left in the NICU for 15 months" recurring bit followed by telling the audience to not feel bad for her whenever they go "Awwww"
The babies are divided into two gangs - breastfed and formula fed
The "gangs" only get together to welcome new babies in the NICU and sing Voulez-Vous
People in the chat really concerned with the rope potentially tripping people (extremely valid considering Mariah and Angela moved all over the stage)
Also why are they connected in the first place???
Vic being inside that plastic thing for the majority of the time just vibing - no lines, no singing, only dancing at times and getting trapped by the curtain to the backstage several times LOL
The Romeo and Juliet subplot
Rick Angela closing the NICU to open Mommy Influencer NICU instead
Nurse Mariah (her voice is soooo gooooood) and asshole Rick Kaiser Permanente Angela duet Money, Money, Money
Pearls and Blakely's duet Does Your Mother Know because of their 15 month age gap
When Everest (Romeo) was shot by Skyler (BECAUSE 1 in 3 AMERICANS OWN GUNS????) and the gangs set aside their differences to save him
Pearl performing surgery since she's been watching the doctors all that time (the whole scene playing out over the group singing SOS)
Mariah's name was Baby #2 so that makes Angela Baby #1 and the rope is their umbilical cord for some reason. They don't like each other and belong to rival gangs
Vic's solo song number Thank You for the Music causing donors (Syd and Olivia) to donate and save the NICU
Angela putting that rope (that she had been dragging all over the floor) in her mouth (popcorn PTSD all over again)
Plot Twist! When Nurse Mariah revealed she was Pearl's real mom and that she fucked Rick (Angela) and got money from him so she can finally bring Pearl home
Of course Mamma Mia as closing number

Had a terrifying thought for the reverse AU... So because Brahams and painter are the only ones that havent been swapped yet, would that mean they swap??? because painter as the big boss is.. concerning (but has LOADS of potential)
(also on a side note, saw the painter art for 23 and literally went 'nNOOOHO-')
Have a good one :D
Holy shit that would be so…terrifying. Terrifyingly good. Noir being a psychopathic computer and Painter being the eccentric doctor that likes to use his experiments like canvases.
Paint them with all sorts of colors and DNA…

Most Ardently by Gabe Cole Novoa
goodreads
London, 1812 . Oliver Bennet feels trapped—not just by the endless corsets, petticoats, and skirts he's forced to wear on a daily basis, but also by society's expectations. The world, and the vast majority of his family and friends, think Oliver is a girl named Elizabeth. He is therefore expected to mingle at balls wearing a pretty dress, entertain suitors regardless of his interest in them, and ultimately become someone's wife.
But Oliver can't bear the thought of such a fate. He finds solace in the few times he can sneak out of his family's home and explore the city rightfully dressed as a young gentleman. It's during one such excursion when Oliver becomes acquainted with Darcy, a sulky young man who had been rude to "Elizabeth" at a recent social function. But in the comfort of being out of the public eye, Oliver comes to find that Darcy is actually a sweet, intelligent boy with a warm heart, not to mention attractive.
As Oliver spends more time as his true self, often with Darcy, part of him dares to hope that his dream of love and life as a man can be possible. But suitors are growing bolder―and even threatening―and his mother is growing more desperate to see him settled into an engagement. Oliver will have to choose: settle for safety, security, and a life of pretending to be something he's not, or risk it all for a slim chance at freedom, love, and a life that can be truly his own.
Mod opinion: I haven't read this book yet and probably won't read it myself as most retellings aren't really my thing, but if you like Austen retellings this one sounds like a really interesting one!

"Hands". From marvel's voices: comunidades (2021).
Robbie teaching Gabe how to make tortillas using the family recipe he inherited from his abuela. This comic page has a very special place in my heart.
