Podcast of the Day: Monstrous Agonies

Monstrous Agonies by H.R. Owen

The Hook: From werewolves in the doghouse to new ghouls at work, there's no problem too strange for this weekly advice segment, from the UK's only dedicated radio service for the creature community.

Favourite Line: When I referenced 'bridezilla' in the introduction to one of our letters, I spoke unthinkingly, and caused distress and hurt to our listeners in the kaiju community. I sincerely apologise, and take full responsibility for my careless perpetuation of this harmful stereotype. Thank you to everyone who got in touch to bring this to my attention. - Episode 3

Thoughts: Monstrous Agonies is very relaxing listen. H.R. Owens as the Presenter has one of the smoothest voices in the podsphere that's always a joy to hear. They have a brilliant talent for giving the distinctive voices to those writing in for advice.

The show is about people from the creature community writing in for advice about love, relationships, and awkward situations that apply to their unique situations that come from being supernatural beings. Lots of the advice given is very good advice that might cross over to human listeners tuning into the podcast as well.

Episodes are bite-sized with two letters per episode and it's a very easy podcast to fall into for a few hours, especially if you're looking for something positive and soothing.

I found a cute hoodie on Pinterest and thought it would look good on Axel. I was a bit skeptical about the color, but it fit quite well.

What fictional character are you completely convinced is a lesbian and nothing anyone can say will change your mind on that and why?

I want to know because I feel like lesbian head-canons are always pushed aside in fandom.

Hey you know what's super funny about the idea of "good bi rep"?

For a character to be canonically bi you have to make sure and establish that they're attracted to multiple genders. Not all mediums allow you to get inside every character's head or show what they're thinking. Flirting can be read ambiguously, and god forbid they flirt with a character who's not into them and be read as pushy or predatory. So it can be super handy to just mention an ex or two! But you better not mention too many exes because that would make them a slutty bisexual which is (checks notes) bad, and you definitely better be careful about making them poly, because that might make them, uh... greedy. Oh, and those exes? They better be perfectly amiable breakups with no conflict or drama, because it's bad to represent queer people in toxic or abusive relationships (especially queer women! very bad), and you definitely can't have them have lost a partner if the partner was queer because that's "bury your gays..." You should probably also eliminate all trauma from their backstory, just to be safe. You should probably also make sure they're not involved in crime, deception, or anything of the sort, because that would make them "deviant" and a stereotype.

But don't worry! Once you've carefully crafted your nice, monogamous, experienced-but-not-too-experienced Lawful Good bi character, you will be rewarded with your audience deeming them "boring" and quickly passing them over for other characters. :)

Avatrice

The growth!!!

The uncomfortable hug. Beatrice who barely knows Ava, but (although hesitantly) still comforts her.

The absolute pride Beatrice has in Ava’s success.

(Bonus: Bea realizing feelings.)

The emotional support hug. They are grounding each other. They are each other’s person.

The “we did it!” The “oh thank god you’re okay” hug. Both Ava and Beatrice latch on so quick and tight. They cannot bear the thought of the other getting hurt at this point

The hug of absolute relief from Beatrice that she did not loose Ava, and Ava so happy Bea is there to support her. (Bonus: the little neck kiss)

And finally The Kiss. Ava has been pining over Beatrice all season. Beatrice who is struggling with her feelings because of her vows. But Ava is about to go, and she cannot leave Beatrice without letting her know she loves her and how much she means to her. While also simultaneously showing how much she has grown because of Beatrice. Through “once you realize everything is not about you”, and then easily dodging Bea’s attack to pull her into her arms in the the smoothest way possible. Lastly, her new faith. She tells Bea “in the next”. After putting on the crown she realized that there is something else out there, something that will bring Beatrice back to her when Bea’s time comes. She isn’t running, not like she did before, she is saving her sisters and her Love despite knowing she is going to die. Beatrice made Ava better, and Ava made Beatrice better. Beatrice opened herself up to get close to someone again, more than even her Sister Warriors who, even them, she seemed to keep them at arms length. Season One Beatrice would do anything for the OCS. Season Two Beatrice would do anything for Ava.

So THIS, your honor, is character growth/development and slow burn at its finest.

Thank you, Warrior Nun.

In this life, or the next

Don't mind me, I'm just thinking about Douglas "Cash" Piggott - the asexual eshay at Hartley High School that does not care about sex in the slightest, and is even slightly repulsed and confused by it - sitting through weeks and weeks of SLT classes, learning about things that do not interest him at all and will not benefit him in the slightest all because he likes looking at Darren's face.

That's the sweetest thing I've ever heard.

And, yes, I know he was forced into SLT with his fellow "map bitch" victims but I still think it's nice that he attended and still listened to what was being taught. Because I, a fellow asexual person, sure as hell wouldn't have been comfortable covering those topics.

I don't like Tiger's design.

rant below.

Normally, I would love a beefy beefcake in a miniskirt, but youre telling me that a trans man would be comfortable dressed in a miniskirt?

Fine, fine, maybe he would, if he was super comfortable in his masculinity and wouldn't feel dysphoric. It could happen. But also - the character's name is TIGER and his group color is BROWN? Also, the one poc of the group has physical face traits that make him less conventionally attractive?

You're telling me that the wild wild pussycats market managing team didn't look at Tiger's transition and see DOLLAR SIGNS? They didn't see the IMMEDIATE opportunity to market to young boys, women, and the lgbtq+ community? You're gonna sit here and tell me that the hero group centered around cats didnt see a dude cat and think "If girls wear skirts and dresses, what do guys wear? Tuxedos! Tuxedo cats!"? youre telling me that horikoshi missed out on a Tuxedo Mask reference while giving us our Tuxedo Masc???

The bar was so low and Horikoshi fumbled. Enjoy conventionally attractive, tiger-color pallette, tuxedo wearing beefcake with his scars proudly on display.

LGBTQA+ Character 1: Apple White

Apple White is a lesbian character from the series Ever After High. She was sort of in a relationship with a man (Daring Charmming), but it was because that’s who she thought she was supposed to be with. Not who she wanted to be with. In the Dragon Games season, she is poisoned; cursed to be forever asleep until true loves kiss can save her. All of the characters thought that Daring was her true love, but it ended up being his sister, Darling Charming. The series framed the kiss like it was only CPR, but it was in fact true loves kiss. One, the spell would only specifically break with the kiss, not CPR. Two, light flashed when Darling kissed Apple, to show that it truly was magic. And three, this was actually confirmed to be gay. Shadi Petosky (a writer for EAH) confirmed that it was true love’s kiss. She also liked a tweet saying to like it if Apple is a lesbian. That means that Apple and Darling are meant to be together. Though admittedly the show didn’t do anything with this. This happened back in 2016. While things certainly are not great for the LGBTQA+ community, representation has gotten a tad better these last few years. It’s quite unfortunate that their romantic relationship was unable to be explored. I would have really liked to see them grow into a beautiful couple.
