X-Men: The Hellfire Gala 2023 delivers shocks we've seen before
2023's X-Men: The Hellfire Gala isn't necessarily bad but it feels like events we've seen before dialed up to 11. #comics #comicbooks #ncbd #xmen
Warning Spoilers(?)
“Welcome to the X-Men. Hope you survive the experience.” That has been said quite a lot over the years. So much that it’s become a joke. It’s a joke based on a truth. The X-Men have a high body count among its members where massacres, genocide, mass killings, mass murder, are all regular events. So, it shouldn’t be surprising that this year’s X-Men: The Hellfire Gala treads…
Madre Juana, the sixteenth century Spanish nun who resonates with trans and intersex experiences today
Today, May 3, is the feast day of Madre Juana de la Cruz, one of my favorite holy transcestors. I'm flattered that my art piece above was included in this year's sharing of QSpirit's article on Juana; I highly recommend that article for aaaall the details about Juana!
I've also written an article that hones in on Juana's genderfluid visions of God, and other ways the life and preaching of this sixteenth century Spanish nun resonates with trans and intersex experiences today. Learn about Juana's adam's apple and sex-shifting clothing choices, God's pregnancy cravings and seamstress skills, and other fun stuff!

Alright! Any and all Disney Daggers made by me will show up here!
Remember, each character will have two: a hero and a villain (because I can’t help myself lol) I will alternate between one character’s villain and another’s hero before going back and finishing the list!
Also! If any of these moodboards spark a fic or oneshot idea, please credit me! I spent way too long working on these! And remember that I do not consent to having these reposted elsewhere (unless I do it on Pinterest!)

A murderboy is a character that meets the following requirements:
Is male
Either commits murder, commits attempted murder, or directly or indirectly causes a significant amount of otherwise avoidable death
The fandom for the piece of media they're from absolutely does not know how to be normal about them. ("[x character] did nothing wrong" vs "[x character] is the literal devil" type arguments, for example)

"I felt I should embrace him and tell him not to suffer; that he wasn't alone, that I was his friend and we were living on the same planet, at the same time, in the same country; that now the two of us were in the same park, on the same bench; that human beings should talk to each other, be aware of each other, and love each other; that each man who passes by offers us the chance for companionship and warmth."
"On love: always the great gestures, or that it is incompatible with ambition and individuality. Rarely the small gestures, rarely that these make the other accomplishments possible. A work in progress. A chain of kindnesses fashioned a link at a time. Clumsy effort, but effort nonetheless."
Katie Ward, Girl Reading
Paul Eluard, “Gabriel Péri” tr. Gilbert Brown
[Two old men hand in hand rush for taking place for prayer time in the Yeni Cami mosque in Istanbul. ph. Marco Vacca]
"We find comfort only in
another beauty, in others'
music, in the poetry of others.
Salvation lies with others,
though solitude may taste like
opium. Other people aren't hell
if you glimpse them at dawn, when
their brows are clean, rinsed by dreams."
Adam Zagajewski, “Another Beauty”, tr. Clare Cavanagh
"We are sun and moon, dear friend; we are sea and land. It is not our purpose to become each other; it is to recognize each other, to learn to see the other and honor him for what he is: each the other’s opposite and complement."
Hermann Hesse, Narcissus & Goldmund
"Down the road there is an old man who sits in a chair under the porch of his front door to enjoy the sun. He is very old. In fact, he is dying. And because I know this, every time I pass him I pass the time of day with him. I tell him he is getting brown in the sun. Or he asks me about the price of the vegetables in my shopping bag – once he lived in the country – and I answer him at length and with great warmth. Why do I do this? It is a natural reaction. Soon he will die [and] I want him between now and then, and perhaps even at the moment of dying, to have good thoughts, not of me personally, but of the living, of the world he leaves. I want to give him reason for thinking the best possible thoughts."
John Berger, A Painter of Our Time
[waves of handprints dating between 7,300 BC & 700 AD, Cueva de las Manos (Cave of Hands), Santa Cruz, Argentina. ph. Pablo A. Gimenez]
“Something strange happens when people are in a small boat, something that rarely happens with people in a car or an elevator, in a train or even a boat large enough to say that you are on it instead of in it. What they experience is the sense of solitude. There are only a few thin boards keeping them from being totally engulfed by the surrounding deep sea. They are lonely, but it’s not an isolated loneliness, because they feel lonesome together, together with others in the boat. This is why a temporary bond forms between people in a small boat. They only have each other, the deep sea is frightening, and small boats are very fragile. Therefore, each one of them becomes the other’s lifebuoy. If you’re not afraid, then neither am I, so we shouldn’t scare each other, and we ought to be nice to each other as long as the water surrounds us.”
Stig Dagerman, A Moth to a Flame (Burnt Child), tr. Benjamin Mier-Cruz
["The Ride Home", submitted by slyburger13 r/AccidentalRenaissance]
"I tried to focus on something small, the smallest thing I could think of. Someone once made this pew I’m sitting on, I thought. Someone sanded the wood and varnished it. Someone carried it into the church. Someone laid the tiles on the floor, someone fitted the windows. Each brick was placed by human hands, each hinge fitted on each door, every road surface outside, every bulb in every streetlight. And even things built by machines were really built by human beings, who built the machines initially. And human beings themselves, made by other humans, struggling to create happy children and families. Me, all the clothing I wear, all the language I know. Who put me here in this church, thinking these thoughts? Other people, some I know very well and others I have never met. Am I myself, or am I them? Is this me, Frances? No, it is not me. It is the others. Do I sometimes hurt and harm myself, do I abuse the unearned cultural privilege of whiteness, do I take the labor of others for granted, have I sometimes exploited a reductive iteration of gender theory to avoid serious moral engagement, do I have a troubled relationship with my body, yes. Do I want to be free of pain and therefore demand that others also live free of pain, the pain that is mine and therefore also theirs, yes, yes.”

"A single stranger sleeps next to me and I feel like a whole crowd has come in with him. He hasn’t said anything to me, I haven’t said anything to him, but I feel I have nothing else to say to him, nor to hide from him."

"Nobody can claim that humanity is in the process of decay without having observed the same putrid symptoms in himself. Nobody can say that humanity is evil without he himself having been part of evil deeds. There is no such thing as unshackled observation. He who lives is the life-long prisoner of humanity and contributes, willingly or unwillingly, to an increase or decrease of the human inventory of happiness and misfortune, greatness and humiliation, hope and despondence […] the fate of humanity is at stake everywhere and at all times, and the responsibility of one life for another is immeasurable."

How do each of the singers in UG interact with their fans? (if at all)
thea - she's super chill around fans, though it can be a bit overwhelming if they bring up nathan. usually gets told that he's a bit scary to approach, but thea reassures her fans that they're always ok to come up to her and talk.
eva - super shy but very appreciative if anyone who comes up to talk to them!!! gets embarrassed easily though and will bluescreen if xey're thrown just 3 compliments.
peter - doesn't talk to fans v much, but he's chill w it. he's normally more comfortable talking to them if carter's around, but they try avoiding fans altogether when they're alone.
carter - enthusiastic to talk! loves talking abt how fun it is to be a part of the group and is super grateful for the fans. she usually talks to fans w peter to make them feel more comfortable.
mateo - LOVES talking to fans, esp in a jokingly flirty way. whenever someone actually tries asking him out though, he gets super embarrassed and shuts that down VERY quickly.
lily - doesn't talk to fans, but if she encounters one, she just takes a quick selfie or signs a quick autograph and gets tf out of there.
estrella - they're ok w a bit of small talk, but she's also SUPER busy as a manager and can never stay for long. she usually stays longer than she wants to bc of seth.
seth - likes talking to fans and usually gets distracted for so long that stella has to pull him out of whatever group he's in to get him to work again.
adam - usually "interacts" w fans by being charismatic, and only sometimes flirty, while performing on stage. he likes to keep himself mysterious as a figure, even though he's the co-owner of divine records
nathan - loved talking to fans!! it was his favorite part of the experience other than making his own songs.
The concept here is to send in a question or a letter request, and you’ll get a response from your fictional character of choice, from the list below. Please stick to the list I’ve made, but of course, you can ask if there’s some other characters I write for, I don’t always remember all the shows, movies or books I’ve consumed over the years and I’m sure I’m missing a lot 😅
