His birthday was a couple days ago, but I have to imagine Jack is still physically and mentally recovering from whatever Nana's gift surely was

[wolfgirlandfarmboy]

Does Nana "hunt" Jack very often? If so, how does it usually go and what happens to the loser?

They 100% play "hide and hunt"...though Nana sometimes makes Jack the hunter just for the extra fun of her farm boy trying to track her down and making him work a wee harder for his "food".

But often, when Jack is being hunted, he doesn't last very long. Nana has his scent highlighted in her brain. The best he can do is hope his magic boots let him keep up a good long chase but he always winds up get tackled to the ground.

Whenever Nana is being hunted, Jack keeps things playful for a bit until his slayer mode takes over and his eyes go green and then their dynamics wind up switching. He doesn't fully tackle her to the ground though, it's more of a scoop up and tumble.

Whenever either one gets caught, one of two things happen.

The loser gets a face full of smooches and they go rest bc man running after the other is tiring work OR

Activities take place that are not friendly to Tumblr's rating system.

It's a nice little bit of enrichment for them both though.

I'd like to say, the fact that people say that VLD was crap when it was a goddamn delight for most of its run really pets my peeve. Yes, the final chunk of it was sub-par to say the least, but c'mon, you can't say that it was bad overall.

Y'feel me, Breezy?

Let me be clear that there were definitely some really interesting and nice things this show provided. And if you found joy in it, more power to you! Don't let my opinion sully it for you and I mean that sincerely.

But, unfortunately, I don't agree. Ignoring whatever fandom does for the moment, seeing how Allura's storyline and treatment and how she was talked about by the showrunners was NOT a delight. Not to mention how they viewed Shiro and his laundry list of traits, i.e. his mental and physical issues. And that's only 2 of the characters who's management I disagreed with.

S1 and half of S2 was fun but it starts getting abundantly clear who the writers' favorites were and it was.........very disheartening. Plotholes and plot threads unresolved, showhorned characterizations, missed opportunities for character growth, etc. etc. Add that to the unchecked fandom racism/ableism/bs, it was very....very hard to enjoy. I could not bring myself to watch the final season.

I've tried to avoid talking about my issues with the show and the fandom because I want my blog to be a positive space for myself and others. But mostly because I don't wanna have to deal with unwanted opinions. I've seen enough gaslighting in my years here.

Again, you can absolutely enjoy the show! To each their own! You can full on disagree with me! This show did give me opportunities to grow and form relationships I could never dream of. So, I just focus on what gives me joy and it's my two favorite characters. I make the content I want to see.

Spanning nearly two centuries of global history, the basic pattern of trans misogyny is much older than TERFs, or right-wing Christians, and extremely consistent. Trans misogyny is not a mere psychological and irrational hatred of trans women. In fact, trans misogyny as a concept helps explain how individuals, or interpersonal violence, can act on behalf of the state or other abstract political movements. At the interpersonal scale, however, trans misogyny testifies to the uncomfortable thickness of social bonds across hierarchies of gender, class, and race. When a straight man lashes out after dating or having sex with a trans woman, he is often afraid of the implication that his sexuality is joined to hers. When a gay man anxiously keeps trans women out of his activism or social circles, he is often fearful of their common stigma as feminine. And when a non-trans feminist claims she is erased by trans women’s access to a bathroom, she is often afraid that their shared vulnerability as feminized people will be magnified intolerably by trans women’s presence. In each case, trans misogyny displays a fear of interdependence and a refusal of solidarity. It is felt as a fear of proximity. Trans femininity is too sociable, too connected to everyone –– too exuberant about stigmatized femininity –– and many people fear the excess of trans femininity and sexuality by getting too close. But sociability can never be confined or blamed on one person in a relationship; it's impersonal, and it sticks to everyone.

The defensive fear and projection build into trans misogyny, whether genuine or performed, is an attempt to wish away what it nonetheless recognizes: that trans femininity is an integral part of the social fabric. There will be no emancipation for anyone until we embrace trans femininity's centrality and value.

So I will be taking no comments and no critiques but

I watched the latest episode of Helluva and I noticed something fasinating.

So Fizz's nickname is 'Froggie' which honestly correlates with the fact that biblically the animal associated with greed is a Frog; because of it's ability to live on both land and water making it flexible (and greedy in the eyes of others rather than settling for just one environment.)

Meanwhile we look at Mammon in his final stage 3rd Form Boss mode

He is a Spider. (which tbh I thought he was a grub at first, cause a money grubber. get it?) Which makes sense given how Spiders work.

They cast out a large web to catch as much as they can with as little effort as possible. (much like a sleezy manager) They are viewed as manipulators, making things work for them.

But what I think is fun is that-

Frogs and Spiders have a real-world symbiosis.

Tarantulas will keep small frogs as PETS to protect their nest and eggs from other invading bugs.

Which I feel like reflects on Mammon and Fizz's relationship not as a father figure/manager and son/talent-but as an owner and their pet.

Is Lovestruck Sweetheart's lips glowing or are they just glossy and reflecting the light from her glowing hair? If they are glowing, does that mean her kisses have power too or something?

(Either way, spectacular job on that piece. The detail is Ludacris)

Thank you! And the Sweetheart's lips are just glossy since I imagine the Beloveds wear lip gloss.

I have toyed with the concept of powered up kisses for the Beloveds tho but mainly in terms of blowing explosive kisses and never making direct contact with them.

Tbh, I either didn't know or completely forgot about all the behind the scenes stuff with the show. Frankly, I tend to avoid news about stuff like that, otherwise I could only enjoy a fraction of the stuff I do. I don't mean to say that to disparage you or anything, more power to you for being more conscious on things like this.

But putting all that aside, (didn't mean to dampen the mood) at least VLD have us a handful of things that continue to enchant us. Chief among them?

*smashes table in half and throws the pieces out the window*

SHALLURA!!!!!

*pounds chest*

Oh, normally, I don't pay attention to what most writers say either lol. It's just that, this time around (when the show premiered), it became personal because I felt represented in Allura, so it's more sensitive to me ;w;. Although, even without their input, I wouldn't have enjoyed vld on it's own as it went on because there's just some decisions that don't make sense to me/there's a clear bias in the writing, but I digress.

It's okay! You were being honest with your experience and I didn't want to invalidate that either! And I agree, there's a LOOOOT of potential narrative diamonds littered among the franchise that some of my friends and I have gladly had fun with (twinganes for one thing)!

VIVA LA SHALLURA
