lmao i feel like i should have been way more excited during the initial relaunch announcements
but it really speaks to how gatekeepy the loudest parts of fandom became and how mistreated certain characters (ie those not part of the chosen pet fav circlejerk on x-tw*tter, which would matter less if it weren’t a vacuum reinforced by the actual x-office) were under outgoing editorial these last five years that even a post-krakoa announcement of my girl finally:
-headlining a flagship
-with an incredible writer and artist team
-a SOUTHERN GOTHIC premise
-the possibility of rogue finally having enjoyable interactions with remy and kurt
-under new editorial (that hasn’t said inflammatory things about said character in interviews afaik)??
still kinda had me like
“cool!!…
…still not pre-ordering. i’ll see for myself in august” 👉👈
and then literally all it took was gail simone’s cbr mini q&a to alleviate everything i was paranoid about
(ie worried that rogue and gambit were only finally getting attention due to corporate knowing they sell/mcu synergy (cough r&g 2.0) while editorial themselves actively hates and sidelines them, that remy might be a punching bag joke once again, that dull - and mostly yt - sausage fest of a proposed line-up, r&g 2.0/uncanny avengers/duggan’s x-men/excalibur fatigue, general saltiness from the inferno exclusion and basic removal from her mothers’ lives)
and basically i now say
bring it!!!!

Comte Election Story, 6th Anniversary Event (JPN 2023)
I managed to get Comte's collection story during the 6th year anniversary event in the JPN version of the game. As usual, my translation skills are rudimentary at best, so this is just a rough/general sense of the contents. Rest of the translation is below the cut:
Sweet and lovely, our everyday life is irreplaceable. After becoming a vampire, I’ve lived with him forever like this. I seek out more and more of the man I love than anyone else--
Comte: Good morning, MC. You’re up very early today.
I went down to the dining room a few hours before dawn--only to find Comte nursing a teacup gracefully at one end of the table.
MC: Good morning. I managed to wake up somehow…how about you?
Comte: Actually, I just got back.
When I asked, he told me that the host of the party started talking to him all night, and they didn’t part ways until after midnight.
Comte: I was going to finish this cup of tea to unwind, and then try to rest til noon.
He runs a hand through his freshly washed hair and brings the cup to his mouth in a series of elegant gestures that makes me fall in love with him all over again. I’m not sure if it’s because I’ve been up all night, but my heart readily starts beating faster.
Even Comte seems to notice my reaction…
Comte: …looking at me like that, are you seducing me?
Comte's eyes narrowed mischievously and he left his cup behind to approach me. A beautiful beast gazed at me as if to take aim at his prey, and he drew me in with supple hands.
MC: I didn’t intend it that way but…it’s true that I'm captivated. Your damp hair and lovely gestures are so sexy that I’m at a loss…
Comte: Saying such a thing…you’re a naughty woman, MC. Even though I tried to quell my ardor with a cold shower and hot tea...I’m glad to hear it, even though I’m far from calm.
When I raised my head--having looked down in bashful embarrassment--I can see burgeoning in Comte’s eyes an indisputable, feverish desire…
MC: Ah, mm…
His soft lips playfully brushed against the nape of my neck.
Comte: No one else would be awake at this hour…though we could be interrupted any moment. Make sure to keep your voice down.
He chuckled a little before a hot sigh caressed my skin, dropping kisses one after another. He circled around the usual place he’d sink his fangs into me, and every brush of his lips made heat gather low in my body…
MC: So impatient…Abel…
Comte: …I’ve been waiting for you to give it to me
The corners of his lips lifted a little, before he buried his fangs into my neck.
MC: Mn, ah…aaaahh…
Comte: I love you so much...and whenever we aren't together, I’m starved of you. We were miles apart all night yesterday. I’ll show you just how much I missed you.
His voice--half-intoxicated with the ecstasy of my blood--was sweet and husky with his desire.
Comte: Before you, I’m always a love-starved beast.
As I gaze into those eyes burning with emotion, an electric sensation tingles down my spine.
(Ah, I’m just the same. It’s not only my heart, my body is always seeking you out too.)
MC: Me too…all day and night, I’m always thinking about you…
Comte: --Come here. Take as much of me as you want
At his encouragement and incitement, I sink my fangs into him.
MC: ah, ha…
Pleasure washes over me in an endless cascade, every sensation in my body heightened and sharp. I clenched my hands tighter through his wet hair, and dug my fangs into him greedily to devour that wellspring of ecstasy.
Comte: I'm happy to be able to share love with you like this, as a vampire.
Like drops of water moistening desiccated earth, every crimson drop fills us to the brim--

I've been going through your Omaegorverse AU, and I was wondering if you had anymore thoughts about it? It's just such a fascinating targ tale. It's like a gothic satire 2 me
oh kisses to you sweet baby😭🫶 i absolutely have thoughts on it i stopped posting them because it was getting too cringe and insane and no one is here for my sixth generation of maegor bloodline incest targ OCs ;_; i like maegor because to me he represents house targaryen stripped of pretence. every targ commited horrific atrocities or poisoned westeros but they kept up the myth of valyrian supremacy, of monarchy, of divine right, of hierarchy, to legitimise and excuse their actions. how are rhaenyra's cruelties any worse than any other targ king's evils? aegon i and daeron i and waged Manifesteros Destiny, the dance targs went just absolutely ape mode but maegor is considered the worst of the worst cos he was unapologetic about it. jaehaerys went awwww come on 🥺 my incest is okay guys 🥺 we're ethnically superior we dont get sick (daughter immediately dies of being sick) while maegor went okay argue with my sword. chad maegor virgin jaehaerys.
so i like having fun in my sandbox AU where instead of the jaehaerys moral reset there's just murder and murder and incest and murder no apologies never apologise just make it worse 😜

The objective hilarity of me walking out of the tattoo parlor with a fresh cartilage piercing of a gay flower... then stopping by the nearby small bookstore just for the hell of it, since I was already out...
And then buying. Two. Books with lesbians. And a gay pride flag magnet.
I sure am living a life lmao. Felt like walking with a glaring I'M GAY sign on. But the person at the register had a trans pride flag lanyard on so they absolutely understand lol
Anyways these r the things I got. Of course I've heard so much about Gideon the Ninth, so I decided to finally go for it and bought the first book. If I like it I'll buy the others.
I dont rly know anything about the other book, but I found it on the shelf with This
& I was like "Cowboy Bebop but Gay? Cheers I'll drink to that." So whoever u are Kel u better not be letting me down lol
Oh yeah and the new piercing
Here it is lol. Lighting is a lil weird so it looks less rainbow, but I swear it's gay. Sure fuckin feels it
