Lesbian Sci-Fi Bounty Hunters Fight For Their Freedom in GL Space Western Apollonia

Sponsored by War Bunny

Apollonia is a no-punches-pulled cowgirls in space adventure! Part Cowboy Bebop and part Black Lagoon, but with a heavy dose of exceptionally jacked queer ladies in cowboy hats, this thrilling webtoon follows the crew of the space trail Apollonia, a group of vicious exiles determined to lay waste to their quarry, collect bounties, and earn their freedom.

The story kicks off when inmate no. 7012, Molly Holliday, is imprisoned on Purgatoire, a perilous frontier planet styled after the wild west, with only one hope, “complete the necessary steps required to reform and join the rest of civilized society...”

Molly soon catches the eye of Tess “Tombstone” Seguín, a steely-eyed gunslinger doing “accidental good” working as a bounty hunter for Reach. Between all the imprisoned criminals running amok, the settlers looking to carve out their own tiny chuck of hellscape and live in peace on Purgatoire don’t have it easy. So, Reach marks those who misbehave and promises that those who join Reach and hunt down enough evildoers will receive the ultimate prize, a one-way ticket to freedom.

After successfully proving her quickdraw skills, demonstrating the sharpness of her cutting tongue, and instilling more than a little lesbian panic, Molly proves herself to Tess, who invites her to join her gang, The Red Horns, aboard their space train, The Apollonia. Together they’ll stop at nothing to earn their freedom as they annihilate scum and battle against the six wicked gangs that carved up the planet’s territory and rule it with an iron fist. And if the Red Horns should accidentally do some good as they ride off into the sunset, so be it. These aren’t heroes by any means, just selfish monsters who happened to end up on the right side of the law after breaking it.

The series boasts dramatic visuals that electrify action as plasma bolts and explosive punches fly in dynamic, stylized sequences. And from incredibly sculpted abs to genetically engineered heart eyes, each of the character designs helps communicate its subject’s personality and power. The world-building is excellent, showcasing a dangerous world inspired by Borderlands and technology that justifiably mixes high-tech sci-fi with the aesthetics of classic Western stories. However, my favorite element is the dialogue, laden with a plethora of old-west slang, witty exchanges, and plenty of flirtatious banter between the two female leads.

You can read Apollonia for free today on Webtoon.

Here was my coord for our comm Halloween meet - kind of a fantasy inspired, “impractically frilly” red riding hood themed outfit.

Picture 2 displays the coord underneath the coat, with bonus “red possessed by the wolf” ears.

I had such a hard time deciding what I wanted to wear for Halloween this year! I do have an odd soft spot for anything little red riding hood themed for whatever reason (perhaps it is the elegant sweeping capes that you get to wear?), and I wanted to be a bit OTT as well, so I put together this layered look using what was available from my closet. Getting an actual red wool cape is on my list, but for now this coat+capelet will do just fine!

The layers are a blouse+JSK combo with a button-up style OP over it, and a bustier over all that. And then coat, I suppose.

OP (Apollonia), blouse, coat, socks: Mary Magdalene JSK (Blossom Princess), bustier: Angelic Pretty Shoes: Kitten’s Ankles Ears & basket: Handmade

My take on the relationships in the godfather (kay, michael, and apollonia)

This might be a controversial take, but I’m a fan of Apollonia x Michael and not Michael x Kay. It reminds me of like when you have a crush on someone but never act on it, Kay realized too late that Michael was her real love and by then he was gone already anyways.

~~~~~~~

A lot of people discuss about Apollonia’s age and how young she is, at the time in life this was normalized and she is the age of a adult in Sicily so I don’t think it mattered too much especially since it wasn’t too much of a significant age gap. I believe he went to Sicily to get away from it and wanting sort of a rebound or escape from that life, and when he first met Apollonia wasn’t thinking much. As time goes on, you can see how Michael’s love for her grows in the short time they have together.

~~~~~~~ I also think he was determined to marry her so fast is because he takes a lot of pride in his family and compared to Kay, Apollonia is someone who his family would accept and due to him not being home for a while I feel as if he could see his family within Apollonia. A lot of people state that Kay symbolizes what he wants to be, and Apollonia symbolizes what he really is I think whilst this is true, there is no changing someone who was raised in this way or lifestyle.

~~~~~~

Also at this time period a lot of people got married after meeting someone for the first time so that also makes sense (i know a lot of relationships like this that actually lasted too!!) With the small language and cultural differences they had (I’m pretty sure Michael could speak italian but not sicilian dialect, as a native in sicilian dialect I can confirm the two are very different) you could see the pair grow through their facial expressions as there love got stronger, and while I’m adamant to end this on a sad note we all know where this leads and I think I’ll conclude by discussing how upset he was after the whole situation.

~~~~~~~ I think in the end he did regret how he treated Kay but it was mostly due to his life being with her now and Apollonia being gone. What is even worse is that in the book Apollonia is pregnant… which I’m surprised they didn’t include in the movie because it would make Michael have more depth behind his emotions and I feel like it would have been more powerful for his character overall.

anyways rip to our sicilian princess

Potential book cover for volumes 1-4 of The Hallowed! While each volume would be separate, compilations of them leads to some very fun cover art!
