Bluesky (with a bit of Tumblr assist) Color Wheel Challenge! I want to stress that all of the red/orange suggestions folks sent in here were so good. Genuinely went back and forth on a number of them. Thanks so much for sending 'em in! :D

reading carmilla is an experience because you'll read the most beautiful declaration of love you've ever encountered but then you remember this is a cautionary tale about the dangers of sexual perversions

i love when different forms of art ask "was it real? does it matter that it was? does it matter that it wasn't? did it hold meaning? does it still?"

The Long Winter hits very differently in a post-pandemic world. Now it's not just "we almost died because it was such a long, cold winter." It's specifically a story about supply chain issues.

In other books, the Ingalls family could have weathered a snowy winter pretty well. They almost never went to town, and they raised and stocked up enough supplies to get through the whole winter. But in South Dakota, they didn't have time to raise much of a crop their first year there. They lived a mile from town and relied on trains getting through to bring supplies. So they were out of almost everything by Christmas.

Instead of homemade candles, they were burning kerosene--which came by train. Instead of meat they hunted or slaughtered themselves, they were living on salt pork--sent by train. Instead of wood, they had only coal for fuel--which comes by train. And so on and so forth. They relied on a vast shipping infrastructure to bring what they needed, which meant they were out of luck when that supply line was stopped. The problems in this book come not so much from their world being too primitive, but because they relied on it being too advanced. And it all feels very familiar from personal experience.

Can't believe Deadpool & Wolverine was the way I found out Blade was from the Marvel Universe - also don't understand it.

The dude hunts vampires. How does that even work.

I need a completely rewritten teen wolf series with Derek Hale as the main character. I think it would heal me.

If you're still doing character bingo and haven't gotten her yet: Laura Murdoch Collins <3

a few people requested her and i think it's because everyone knows that i'm batshit (ha) insane about this woman. what if bertha mason was a blonde femme fatale in the middle of collinsport's most toxic manslaughter polycule. i'm in love with her. laura collins wants to grill me to a crisp? medium or medium well my beautiful beloved terrible wife?

thinking about ronette and how overlooked she tends to be. being isolated while doing sex work, laura most likely leaned on ronette when she needed someone to talk to. since donna and laura weren't on speaking terms for a while, and bobby was already aware of what she was doing with leo and jacques but didn't want to talk about it, ronette was most likely the one she confided in. secrets passed between the two that only they would understand, given their shared line of work. they clearly had a connection, i wouldn't even doubt for a second that ronette probably even had a crush on laura. would've probably been reciprocated too, laura did express she had an attraction to her in her diary. either way, they were close. then the night of the murder happened. ronette is bound behind laura. they're both intoxicated with a combination of drugs and alcohol, but still able to grasp the gravity of the situation the both of them are in. it's so sudden, so violent, she doesn't know if either of them are going to see tomorrow. before she passes out from the beatings shes taken, ronette has to witness as the one girl she found solace in is stabbed to death. her screams ring in her ears and her memory. the blood running down her face, eyes wide, the man screaming with every downward swing. all until her body stops moving. when she awakens, she's in a hospital, family in the other room waiting for her. there's a man, an fbi agent she learns, asking her questions...about laura. ronette can't answer, it's all too much for her mind to handle. she does try to warn the man to not proceed, "don't go there", there's danger waiting for him if he tries. her recovery is slow and plagued with nightmares of laura on the train that final night. flashes of the man, the knife, the blood, the screaming. forever replaying the worst moment of her life. if only she were still alive, if only they could press their foreheads together again. she misses her warmth, her airy laugh and smile, how beautiful she looked in the pink room. their embraces always left her wanting more. if only she'd said something before, maybe things would be different. now she'll never see that bright head of blonde hair ever again. there's a void in ronette pulaski's heart that's shaped like laura palmer and it will haunt her for the rest of her life.
