I still have a little bit of a crush on John Kramer from the Saw movies. like the movie where he as a disabled person kills people working for a parasitic medical insurance company who profit off people’s health issues? that was objectively incredibly sexy.

My fundamental addition to the Pinhead's-details discourse:

When he widens his eyes like that!!! Pretty.

Pinhead really said “I’m joining the war against autism on the side of autism” when they recruited Jeremy.

William Etty, Male Nude, with Arms Up-Stretched, 1828 and 1830 @yorkartgallery

In his lifetime, his concentration on painting the nude gave rise to much-heated debate about the moral value of his painting. After his death, many collections have struggled to make Etty’s work seem relevant in the twenty-first century and many of his works are in storage rather than on the gallery walls. To give a sense of the prominence of the nude within Etty’s output, all but one of the 15 paintings exhibited at the Royal Academy between 1820 and 1829 included nude figures. This preponderance did not go unnoticed in the contemporary press and Etty’s ‘fleshiness’ was much commented on. It was his depictions of the female nude, especially when displayed in prominent venues such as London’s Royal Academy of Arts, that caused the most excitement and consternation.

ANYWAY hellraiser thing I’m annoyed about number 1 million: 

that one comic where Pinhead interacts with other Hellpriests across history. Like the potential!! The potential for Pinhead to learn about his own identity and place in the world... as well as for worldbuilding, and cool historical narratives. 

Vs... the fact that every single hellpriest ever was so fucking boring and also a white man. Like come on. Oh my god. You could do so much more interesting stuff with different Hellpriests - like what if there was a Hellpriest who was a mother! Or a Hellpriest who wasn’t white, or culturally christian and how this would inform their relationship to Leviathan as a deity. And how Pinhead could learn from their different experiences... 

#I haven't reread this comic and also I don't care anyway

sorry for getting obsessed with Hellraiser, and then almost immediately going back to Adventure Time. I’m a simple autist.

I think it’s funny that the hellraiser movie women protags are cool girls you could easily hang out and be friends with, and then the boy protags are like... the crustiest grossest creature alive. I want to push the cop from inferno into moving traffic.

I like to think Cenobites do the same thing Vulcans do in Star Trek where they lie about their species to get out of doing stuff. Pinhead says “cenobites do not” when he wants to get out of like... posing for a picture or eating broccoli or something, Severin says “cenobites are known to” when he wants to do something stupid like try and ride a horse.

some Kirsty x Nikoletta hcs that devolves into my insanely rambling about a Hellraiser movie about them. 

Anyway. Enough Pinsty Pinhead was like “oh what’s this Kirsty? You want me to take your shitty husband to hell instead of you?” and bc he’s fucking gay as hell he picks the man. 0 interest in her. NIKOLETTA ON THE OTHER HAND! 

So like... I hc that Nikoletta was 100% attracted to Kirsty first. Like Kirsty was also a bit like 0////0 bald woman in leather! but she was too busy not dying to rlly think about it. Also Kirsty is big bisexual bc I said so. I am the god of this world. Apologise to me, for being born in my universe. 

Anyway, Nikoletta was DEAD! FUCKING! SET! on getting her soul! She wanted Kirsty so bad. She would be jumping up like a puppy that heard the doorbell ring everytime someone opens the box like “Kirsty?? Kirsty???” And I imagine the other cenobites teased her about it a bit but she would bully them back for having shit taste in men so peace and love. 

Meanwhile Kirsty is having a shit time bc of trauma! Like I imagine after everything that happened with her losing all her family and getting institutionalised AND THEN basically adopting Tiffany that her mental health was struggling. She spent a long time trying to get back on her feet - she sold Frank’s old house and was crying letting it go bc it was her dad’s childhood home, and she loved her dad so much :( Tiffany did her best to support her though and started working part time to help Kirsty pay for bills in their shitty little apartment. Tiffany started working at a convenience store stocking shelves and cleaning - she didn’t do work at the till bc mutism but she did her other jobs rlly thoroughly so everyone just let her get on w her stuff. 

Anyway one day she was solving a Rubik's cube on her lunch break and another girl at her job was like “omg I love puzzles too” and long story short they started dating. Tiffany was rlly nervous w coming out to Kirsty as bisexual bc Kirsty was under a lot of stress and also Tiffany seems like her mother didn’t really value her for her neurodivergence and she was mistreated in the facility, so she didn’t want to jeopardise Kirsty’s love and support. And like... it was the 80s. The AIDs crisis was happening it was an awful time to be gay. 

But she did come out to Kirsty eventually and Kirsty was rlly supportive! And this made Kirsty go “oh shit... sapphic relationships... are REAL!!” and she finally connected that she might be a bit gay as well :) and this happened a few years after the events of Hellraiser 1 so she’d come to terms with some of her trauma and was ready to give dating another go. 

So anyway she like... made out with a few women in a gay bar and was like “yeeeaaahhhh I am a bisexual” so woop! She did worry about whether her dad would have accepted her though. The fact that she could never come out to him bc she realised this about herself after his death really haunted her :( 

Anyway yeah that’s my Kirsty gay lore. Anyway, Nikoletta. 

So you know how sapphic women would sometimes becomes nuns to be in a female only space where they wouldn’t have to marry men and they would like... have gay sex? That was Nikoletta all the way. 

Anyway. You know how Elliott and Pinhead had the world’s cringest cat fight in Hellraiser 3? Nikoletta’s human side and cenobite side did the same thing, except her human side attached itself to Kirsty.

Anyway, her ghost shows up and Kirsty is like “god fucking dammit. You people AGAIN???” by this point they’re just like pest infestations. But Nikoletta explains in an epic montage like the one Elliott had about his war experience, but while his montage was him being sad in a field of corpses, and then sad in an attic, Nikoletta’s was just epic montage of her being gay in a monastery and like... desecrating the bible and being a cool girl with her gal pals. And then something really sad happens like the plague kills her lesbian polycule so she opens the box or something. Anyway Kirsty is looking at all this like “damn Nikoletta is FINE and an amazing gay lover. Interesting.” Because like... Nikoletta was absolutely hot as fuck as a human. These are facts. 

Also Tiffany is there and Nikoletta is super sweet with her bc Tiffany is this sweet little shy girl who’s been treated badly and Nikoletta relates to that bc of her experiences being gay in the renaissance in the church and Kirsty is like “awww she’s nice and motherly to Tiffany :) I’m starting to like this lady.” 

MEANWHILE evil Nikoletta is being fucked up and evil. She has her own boiler room massacre moment but I want it to be GAY! Like she kills conservatives at a gay conversion centre or something. She fucks up a church like Pinhead though like that can stay. Also she was never trapped in a statue rip Pinhead but Nikoletta is built different. She was like “Fuck being a statue I have things to do!” 

Also she still wants Kirsty BAD! so she hunts her down and we have a cool lil showdown between Evil Nikoletta and regular Nikoletta and also Kirsty and Tiffany are there. Tiffany does something cool like idk, she has a gun so she just shoots all the cenobites Evil Nikoletta sends at them.Rip Joey running around crying but Tiffany is different. Autistic girls should be armed instead of the military I think. I trust them to protect me. 

Anyway it gets to the point where Evil Nikoletta and regular Nikoletta are facing off. And Evil Nikoletta does the bondage tempting thing on Kirsty (but Kirsty is like... kinda into it like Evil Nikoletta was awakening things in her) and regular Nikoletta is sweating bc her and Kirsty have had a budding gay romance for this whole film. And anyway Evil Nikoletta threatens to hurt Kirsty so regular Nikoletta merges w her evil self to save her and at the end she says something hot like “I’d never hurt you Kirsty, not in a way you wouldn’t enjoy.” And Kirsty is like ooooooooh here’s my number call me baby and they kiss and you as the audience stand up in the cinema and clap while crying. 

Anyway they begin a long distance relationship. And Tiffany has two moms. And Pinhead and Butterball are the weird gay uncles Kirsty pretends don’t exist. Love wins. Credits roll. I win an oscar AND nobel peace prize for this film. 

Like idk the cenobites get a mission on earth like in the comics but it’s actually fun because Nikoletta and Kirsty go on dates while Nikoletta is in disguise. Like they go to a lesbian bar and Nikoletta fucking SMASHES IT at dancing. There’s a scene where Tiffany’s cool autistic girlfriend comes over so they can hang out and the cenobites are in Kirsty’s flat just chilling and they try to unconvingly pretend to be weird goths bc they’re all very protective of Tiffany and don’t want to scare her girlfriend away. Also Kirsty like.. hires a caravan so they go camping by the sea and it’s like a fucking anime beach episode. Pinhead and Lazslo wear those 1920s bathing suits and idk Tiffany catches a fish with her bare hands bc she’s epic and everyone claps. 

Anyway. Rom-com titled “me and my wacky girlfriend who’s the priestess of hell” ensues. 

So yeah when Kirsty becomes a cenobite it’s to be gay forever in hell! Boom comics dni. Also Tiffany is the flower girl at their evil gay wedding and Pinhead marries them bc he is technically a priest, so he should be able to officiate gay weddings I think. 

Cheque please.

Happy Spencer Sillybitch Saturday everyone. 

Video description for those that need it: 

a short slideshow consisting of three images with audio over it, which forms an edited version of the “my day be so fine” clone high JFK meme. The first image is Elliott Spencer from Hellraiser drawn over JFK, clasping his hands and grinning with the words “my day be so fine” written around him, the audio accompanying this is someone voicing the lines in a jokey voice. The second image is him in the same cartoony style leaning over sadly with the words “then boom” written above him, the audio is these lines being voiced. Then melodic transcendent music kicks in as the visual changes to a closeup of Elliott in the film Hellraiser 3, grimacing, the word Horny is written all in caps on the image. The voiceover continues but a boom filter is added for the word horny so it echoes over the music. And then the video ends.

Severin backstory bits and pieces while I type up all my disjointed thoughts on cenobites: Can't think of any CWS that apply maybe war and torture being mentioned, and trauma from these experiences.

-Angelique and Severin are technically cousins but because cenobite generations are raised by selected caregivers rather than their parents (with exceptions) and are all lumped in together the distinction between siblings and cousins doesn't exist. So Angelique and Sev consider themselves brother and sister and refer to themselves as such in human languages (cenobite tongue has its own word for it).

In addition to this caring responsibilities are shared based on skill rather than bond to the child, so often cenobite parents won't actually raise their children, and instead the kids will be looked after by uncles or grandparents. For this reason the cenobite term for parent is based on role rather than bond and can be applied to lots of people. And keep in mind that due to cenobites bring immortal cenobite families ended up being FUCKING HUGE! like 200 people at a time.

-I like to think that queer identity is very very normalized in cenobite society, so Severin realised he was a trans man thanks to there being lots of trans cenobites around him, and this was fully supported by his family and community. So he was able to socially transition at a young age and then physically transitioned after being summoned into a human body by humans with support from his family.

-Severin was apprenticed to an artist and sculptor before joining the war effort, so while Angelique was apprenticed to the Hellpriest of the time and learned how to interact with humans, Severin was just drawing and playing songs on his string instrument collection.

He used to sculpt figures and dolls for himself and other people. Rip Severin you would've loved stuffed animals.

He was once asked to paint murals of the Hellpriests and that was his most famous and most praised work. But he definitely struggled with time management and stressed about it 24/7 bc has the cenobite equivalent of autism.

-Severin is a polyglot and speaks Russian, French, English and Cenobite tongue (last one is the language of cenobites). But he spoke an earlier version of these languages bc of being alive in the like… 15th century so Pinhead could not understand him when they first met despite both of them speaking English. Poor Severin imagine coming home after being a prisoner of war for a century and the first thing you have to do is relearn every language you speak bc of linguistic development.

-Severin was drafted into the Hell War in the middle of a mission on Earth (his mission was art related like… making a cursed painting or something) so he had to go fight. Severin was a pretty good soldier but got in trouble a lot because of not obeying orders properly when they didn't make sense to him. Most of his family who were sent to war with him were sadly killed in front of him as the war went on for many decades. It only ended when the border between the hells was sealed shut, trapping him and any other survivors inside. He was then captured as a prisoner of war and imprisoned in one of the torture orbs from the comics.

He was sent back home through a smaller portal that was discovered centuries later. The demons in the second hell decided to try and open up peace negotiations with the cenobites, so him and the other survivors were released during Pinhead's time as a political tactic.

-Severin was VERY torn up when he went home like he was almost in pieces. Half of his face was missing and he couldn't speak because of damage to his vocal cords and throat. He had to have most of his body and skin reconstructed, hence all the threads and needles bc he basically has none of his original skin or flesh and customises his body a lot. He always gives himself top surgery scars though.

-Severin returned home after Angelique went back to hell and became a new cenobite, so after Hellraiser 3 and 4 basically, so in the 90s. He struggles a lot with cultural shock over how much his home had changed, as well as PTSD and grief over his war experiences. But he's also excited about all the changes and all the new technology and is finally able to go back to art and like ... Decorates a lot of the labyrinth so it's not just white walls. But it's not enough because he will never be the same again and is haunted by what happened.
