every time i think the "staff can do no wrong and any form of complaining or expressing literally anything other than "yaaay love it <3" with no further comments is bashing and literally evil we should never say anything that could even potentially be interpreted as mildly critical ever because ~some artist who worked hard on this is probably reading the forums and might feel bad if we ever express anything but praise~ also we must be constantly positive at all times unless we're passive-aggressively shaming someone for having an extremely polite and apologetically worded criticism and if you ask the staff for literally anything you had better be prepared to preface it with 3 paragraphs of apologizing for breathing air" attitude is bad on tumblr, i take one look at the forums, and holy fucking hell is it SO much worse on site
#i go for years at a time without ever bothering to look at fr forums#and then every time i do i remember why i stopped#it feels like a goddamned cult on there and every time i dip my toes i come out feeling slimy and sick#as if i just spent an hour being aggressively gaslit by my extremely manipulative grandmother#what the fuck is wrong with everyone#i'm glad i decided to keep this creepy fucking fandom at arm's length and mostly just lurk years ago#that place is not a healthy environment for anyone to be in#flight rising#legitimately the single worst fandom i've ever had the misfortune of being adjacent to#and in such a creepy and insidious way too#they'll call you an entitled whiny baby to your face and then convince you it's your fault and you're a horrible person for feeling offende#it feels like being neck deep in the absolute worst kind of preformative sj spaces#you know the ones where everyone interacts primarily via callout posts and there's discourse over if crossdressing is cultural appropriatio#that kind of toxic sj space type energy#but somehow combined with like this weird feeling of being in a mormon church in a deep south town#where all the “nice grandmas” will try to put poison in your food if they find out you're gay or voted blue even one time#and it's somehow gotten SO much worse since the last time i looked on there#they've got people literally apologizing for existing what the fuck how is this normal to any of you people#this is so far beyond toxic positivity it's like. crossbred with passive-aggression and shaming and metastatized into something new entirel#it's terrifying. i hope flight rising never shuts down just so that whatever the fuck this is can stay semi-contained.#pro tip: the more a fandom is universally convinced it's Wonderful and Welcoming the faster you should run the other way#actually good fandoms don't have to constantly reassure themselves and everyone that they're great and perfect and toxicity-free#nor do they react with immediate borderline violence to the slightest suggestion there might be anything wrong with the fandom culture#anything wrong other than “people like you who think there's something wrong with our perfect community” anyway#on that note also any fandom that insistently calls itself a “community” just. yeah. no.#get out while you still can.#fandoms work on corporate logic if they're trying to convince you they're your family or friend that's not just a red flag#that's a whole damn red fabric store

Eridan is the most heterosexual man in Homestuck.
Despite his vanity to look awesome in front of his others due to his status as a highblood and a funny if wweird looking art of him crossdressing for a calendar, Eridan is actually the straightest guy in Homestuck in general. He probably would have beat out John Egbert if it weren't for his "i am not a homosexual" line.
Eridan is said to be creepy by the cast and the fandom. If Homestuck were around today's current gen, he would rightfully be labeled as an incel. Eridan is desperate for connections, with love in particular due to his home planet putting emphasis on quadrants being an important part for his life. That if he doesn't follow it, he gets culled as punishment for remaining asexual as an asexual species. Now let me ask the fandom this, has there been a GAY incel ever?
Most would only call out incels to men who are only interested in female companionship. And who fits this bill? That's right, Eridan. Most of his important moments had always come from being around with another girl. In one of Eridan's earliest appearance via Pesterlog, he's talking with Kanaya, a WOMAN. The first relationship as kismesis is with Vriska, another WOMAN. His pale mate is also a female, whom he had a crush on for so long. Beliving that she and her are superior because of their blood color and sea dweller status. And he would be the server client for Nepeta in Blue Team, whom he tried to flirt but was rejected.
He would then try to rile Rose Lalonde to get her to be pitch with him. Eridan challenges Rose on her use of dark magic. She mirrors Eridan in a way that both have an interest in wizards and magic. Then he would proceed to try and give Jade his rifle. A rifle that would find its way to the bunny that Jake gives as one of its weapons. She also noted that he was one of the trolls that always hit on her and implies he has been doing this for some time prior to the Beta Kids starting the game. She even teases him for his failed attempt for flirting with Rose.
Sure he would have a male friend like Karkat, but it's only for shared interest about gossiping quadrants from there other friends, with Kanaya being the one he mentioned when speaking directly to her. Then we get to Sollux and people would say that shows he is gay or bisexual. The only notable moment between him and Sollux were only two duels they had. But it always come back to Feferi having to step in to stop and chastise Eridan. Sollux was also willing to KILL Eridan for good this time to stop him from getting Jack to find the trolls. Neither Sollux or Feferi thought about of how would Eridan even reach Jack in the first place without method of transportation or the fact that it would technically be Vriska herself that lead them to their deaths instead.
Eridan wins the duel by knocking down Sollux, but it's not as significant as him killing Feferi. The top potential heiress troll. An heir. A future queen. Her death would be and is taken more seriously because she is the troll that is above everyone on the meteor. Even with her ideals of equality and change, Feferi would still be one that decides what is good for the people. And that's one of Eridan's worst crimes. Not him killing lusus to feed for a bigger lusus. Not him being racist towards lowerbloods. But him killing a lady who would have to be future ruler.
His next big moment would also be him destroying the Matriorb. He would get his wish for success in genocide. Genocide being killing all hope that his kind would ever get to repopulate. We don't know if Jack would have found and destroyed it if Eridan wasn't the one to do it. But it likely he would have destroyed it or the Matriorb would be lost and forgotten after Kanaya's death. Some could say that Eridan destroying the Matriorb was a mercy kill. Since this Matriorb was also something that The Condesce needed to bring her race back. If the Matriorb had been around by the time the meteor shows up, she could have just taken the Matriorb with ease and her plans would have succeeded much earlier than expected. In a way, Eridan getting rid of the Matriorb was a good thing if it meant in the future, the bigger bad couldn't get it and forced her to find an alternative method to get it. Which means he also indirectly had been involved in another woman's plans. A woman that started and was the root for his ideals of racism. The caste system he looks up to and was molded by.
And when he is technically brought back as Erisolsprite, he does nothing with Jake despite their shared Hope aspect.
Overall, Eridan's important or great moments had been because the presence of a female with him. Even at times when it is not depicted as flirtatious, he is known because of his actions towards a woman. Directly or indirectly. His connections have been mostly been tied with a girl.

Horrible truth about the transgender community
All trans identified males are gross, creepy coomers. You call him a girl, "she" gets hard. You call him an object, "it" gets hard. You call him a boy, that faggot gets hard.
They get off on you wanting to kill them.
They get off on the idea of killing women.
They get off on breeding defenceless women.
They get off on the idea of getting pregnant.
Creepy fucking crossdressers, the lot of them, and of course that includes me.

✨doll🎀
summary: Hyunjin has a new doll to play with (inspired by Changbin being dressed up at the recent fan meeting)
contains dollification, crossdressing, belly kink, weight gain kink, body worship, humiliation, noncon kink play, noncon drug use, slightly creepy hyunjin, chubby changbin. i've never written anything like this before but it was fun to try sth new!
Hyunjin takes Changbin’s chin between his thumb and forefinger, tipping his head up so he can look into his pretty eyes. “So beautiful,” he murmurs. 
His grip widens to cup Changbin’s jaw. Hyunjin turns the doll’s head from side to side and watches the way the light reflects in the dark purple contact lenses.
“Definitely worth the upgrade for a custom color.”
Hyunjin lets go of Changbin’s jaw then, leaving the head cocked to one side, and begins to trace his fingers over the doll’s round cheeks, the strong nose, the pouty lips. “And the sculpt on the face!” he marvels. “Such unique features. What a special addition to my collection.”
It’s not a very big collection. Honestly, he couldn’t have called it a collection at all before he acquired Changbin.
His Felix doll is draped over an armchair in a far corner of the room. Hyunjin still loves it, but he hopes Felix understands that one doll is never enough, no matter how fun it is to play with. 
Hyunjin thinks he saw a flash of jealousy in the Felix doll’s eyes when he told him he wanted a new one. That’s why he made sure to gently shut Felix’s eyelids when he sat him aside in the chair. As far as a doll is concerned, what it doesn’t see may as well have never happened.
Of course, a little poke helps too. But that’s the sort of thing one has to overlook when playing with dolls. They’re just toys, obviously, so they need stands to help keep them propped up, they need doll clothes that are easy to put on or take off. And sometimes they need little pokes from glass vials to keep them malleable and unresisting.
Which brings him back to his acquisition of the Changbin doll. 
Hyunjin wanted his collection to have variety, diversity. It’s no fun to play with dolls that are exactly the same from the neck down. He knew he would want a more unique body sculpt for his next one.
It’s the trend these days, to make dolls in different shapes that reflect the diversity in real people’s bodies. But he didn’t choose this one just because of trends or for the sake of variety. 
The contours of this doll’s body are absolutely gorgeous. Hyunjin has admired them for so long, watching as they were built and sculpted before his very eyes. Biceps, traps, pecs… cords of muscle that bunched and bulged with the flexing of each articulation point. It was so attractive that it made Hyunjin’s mouth water and his teeth ache.
Then, even better, other areas began to swell and expand as well. Suddenly there was a fuller, rounder face. A belly that hung in a pleasing teardrop shape. A bigger backside, widened hips, a double chin. 
So unusual for a doll. Most people prefer dainty playthings, a lightweight build that’s easy to manipulate—and Hyunjin does love the one that he has—but there’s something so tantalizing about the bigger figure of this doll.
He’s going to have so much fun playing with it.
Hyunjin thinks he deserves that, after the lengths he went to to acquire it.
Before he had this doll he had a friend. A friend he loved dearly, who loved him just as much if not more. At least, it was a game of theirs to pretend that this friend loved him more, that he had to fight for Hyunjin’s attention, that he needed to flirt with him incessantly just to hold Hyunjin’s interest.
A fun game, but it never went anywhere real. Never to the places that Hyunjin longed for. And so Hyunjin’s obsession quietly festered until love turned to covetous need and admiration spoiled into possessiveness. 
Perhaps he had been foolish to think that Changbin could share Felix’s appreciation for being owned. That he might like it. Might find it fun to be dressed up and tossed around and cooed over. He had always said that he yearned to be Hyunjin’s plaything, after all.
Foolish, on both of their parts.
Hyunjin watched Changbin’s eyes turn from uncomfortable to suspicious to panicked. The fear made them glassy, like the perfect doll eyes Hyunjin had wanted all along. 
It only took a little poke to dull them.
Hyunjin ordered the purple contact lenses that night.
Such a stunning addition to his collection.
Eventually he’ll play with both of his dolls together, but for now he just wants to admire his new toy. Take his time exploring all of its features. “Besides,” Hyunjin says. “Before you can meet Felix, I’ll need to buy you some proper clothes.”
Changbin doesn’t—can’t—respond, but that’s fine. That’s good, because toys don’t talk anyways.
“Ahh, I’m going to have so much fun buying you all sorts of new things!”
It was getting a little hard to justify buying more clothes for Felix. He has so many now, frilly maid outfits and lacy pastel dresses… white gloves and knee-high socks and short skirts… So many delicate, pretty things to keep Hyunjin busy playing dress-up all day long.
But Changbin is much too big to fit into any of Felix’s doll clothes. And so Hyunjin will get to build up an entirely new wardrobe just for him.
“I’m so happy I picked a plus-size doll,” Hyunjin beams. His hands land on the mound of Changbin’s belly, squeezing at the doughy fat. “This squishy material is so realistic. I can’t believe how well-made you are.”
Hyunjin giggles behind his hand. “You know what would be fun, Binnie? To try to dress you up in Felix’s clothes so we can all see how much chubbier you are than him. Well, Felix can’t see right now, but that’s okay. He might not like it if you stretch his things out anyways. But I think it would really show off your lovely curves.”
He leaves Changbin frozen on the sofa and goes to the white, pink-trimmed armoire where he stores Felix’s clothes. “Let’s see,” he hums, rifling through drawers. A pink tulle tutu catches his eye, along with a long gauzy white skirt. He grabs a stretchy bralette—Changbin’s chest certainly won’t fit any of Felix’s structured bustiers—and a complementing pair of panties. Then he picks out a few cute hair accessories and, after a moment of deliberation, pulls out a whimsical pair of plastic fairy wings.
“Here we go,” he says, turning back to Changbin with his arms full. “Let’s see how you look in these.”
Hyunjin makes quick work of stripping off Changbin’s black workout clothes. He spins a narrative in his head as he goes, imagining Changbin as a college student who went over to his crush’s apartment after his workout, only for a party to erupt while he was borrowing the shower. He comes out of the bathroom to find that his clothes have been stolen, forcing him to borrow something to wear from Felix.
‘I don’t know,’ Felix would say doubtfully, looking him over. ‘Maybe before you gained all this weight. But I don’t think you could squeeze into any of my clothes now.’
Changbin would blush so adorably. He isn’t—could never be—embarrassed of his huge muscles, but the amount of fat he’s gained along the way is another story. Still, ‘I just need something,’ he would insist.
And Felix would root around in a drawer for the pair of lavender lace-trimmed panties that were always a little too loose for him. ‘Here,’ he’d say, holding them out. ‘This is the biggest thing I have. They might be stretchy enough to fit around your waist.’
Hyunjin pulls the panties up Changbin’s thick thighs, delighting in the way the lacy leg holes squeeze the flesh as he goes. The waistband is a little too tight, so Hyunjin pulls on it to break some of the stitches. It helps, even if the elastic still digs into Changbin’s tubby waist. The sight is too cute, and Hyunjin can’t help pinching the bulges of his adorable muffin top. 
‘Well,’ Felix would say, looking him over. ‘It’s a good thing you wear them with your gut hanging over, or they definitely wouldn’t have fit.’
Changbin’s cheeks would burn with embarrassment. Then his eyes would widen as Felix pulls out the pink tutu. ‘Felix, I can’t,’ he would protest weakly. ‘Not with these thunder thighs. They- they jiggle, and everyone will see!’
But Felix would convince him anyways, and soon Changbin would have layers of pink tulle swathed around his wide hips. Then he would try to put on the bralette, stretching the band to its limit around his ribcage. The cups would be tight on his generous chest—tight enough to push his softened pecs together to form cleavage.
And then Felix’s roommate—Changbin’s crush—would barge in.
‘Hyunjin!’ Changbin would screech, mortified.
‘Oh,’ he would say, stopping in his tracks. ‘Who is this big cutie you’re hiding in your room, Lixie?’
‘This is Changbin,’ Felix would say. ‘You know Binnie, right? I’m sure you’ve seen him around campus.’
‘Wait, does he have a much skinnier twin who took comp with me last year?”
‘Nope,’ Felix would say, grinning.
‘Wow, you got so fat,’ Hyunjin would remark. 
Changbin’s eyes would well up, shame and embarrassment overwhelming him, and yet he would be so angelically pliant as Hyunjin pulls him into his lap. 
‘Don’t cry, baby,’ Hyunjin would croon. ‘The weight looks gorgeous on you. And so does your outfit.’
‘Someone stole my clothes,’ Changbin would pout.
‘What a naughty thing to do to such a big boy,’ Hyunjin would tsk. ‘And now you have to wear clothes that don’t even fit? What a travesty.’ Then he would smile devilishly, daring to squeeze a big handful of Changbin’s belly. ‘But I have to admit,’ he’d whisper in his ear, ‘I love how you look like this. You have the cutest tummy ever, baby.’
And just like that, Changbin would moan and roll his hips and Hyunjin would know he could take everything he’s ever wanted from Changbin and his deliciously pudgy body.
Then Hyunjin slips Changbin’s arms into the straps on the fairy wings, and suddenly he conjures another scenario where Changbin is a fairy who has eaten so many berries that he’s struggling to fly.
Then he pulls on the long white skirt, and now Changbin is a bride who is making Hyunjin the happiest man on Earth.
Hyunjin continues to play and imagine and dress Changbin until finally he notices it. A subtle ripple in Changbin’s muscles. A fraction of a blink.
He reaches for a glass vial.
It’s nothing a little poke can’t fix.

Things I expected from Castlevania - and was delighted to find confirmed:
the particular brand of anachronism stew and being adorably clueless about Europe you only really get from anime
sexy vampires
OT3 Feels TM <3
Things I absolutely did not expect but was even more delighted to encounter: [Spoiler cut]
hello there Richard fucking Armitage himself, did not expect you in my silly bishie vamp gore fest, but what a pleasure to have you!
the stellar voice acting in general -- really makes the whole thing 100% better than I thought it would be
(not to be creepy but the Alucard voice actor needs to come to my house and read me bedtime stories please)
on-screen threesome in the most tragic way possible (I'm so feral about the S3 finale, you have no idea)
not quite a full OT4 ending, but implicitly making the OT4 ending the by far most likely option
GNC women everywhere! canon lesbians! canon soft butch bi women! a female main character who (sort of) crossdresses the entire show and gets zero male gaze-y fanservice
the major queer vibes of Christianity as the main antagonist and OT3 patricide bonding
surprise fucked up het ship my beloved (Lenore/Hector... stop looking at me like that, I'm owning my kinks here)
absolutely every het relationship in the entire show having serious F/m energy
my fave character arc was Isaac's and I absolutely did not see that coming - deeply underrated storyline
the mindblowingly stellar fanfic

Sherman Young is…frustrating to me. Love the character, I love the way that Jaime characterizes him. But he’s also another example of Starkid incorporating cross dressing as a part of a joke. Umbridge is the most notable example. Wow Sherman is crazy and creepy and gross and he’s trans/a woman crossdressing. Wow Umbridge is crazy and aggressive and violent and sadistic and trans/a man in drag.
As a trans person, it just really irks me.

My Thoughts on the Roger Rabbit Novels
Tumblr media
Who Censored Roger Rabbit?
The Plot: It's the 1980s, and human beings and comic strip characters ("toons") live side-by-side, albeit not on an equal social standing. Roger Rabbit approaches private detective Eddie Valiant and asks him to investigate a dispute he has with Rocco and Dominick DeGreasy, the brothers who own his comic strip. Roger claims his life is in danger, but Eddie, who's somewhat racist towards toons, doesn't take him seriously - which comes back to bite him when he finds Roger's dead body. Now Eddie has to work out who killed Roger, as well as who killed Rocco DeGreasy on the same night.
What I Liked: This is a very well-paced story. It sets up the mystery straightaway, it cracks along at a good speed, and you don't have the full truth of whodunnit until the very end. The chapters are short and punchy, and even the time spent on plot points that turned out to be red herrings never felt wasted. I was always eager to pick the book up again and read just one more chapter!
Also, in any other novel, the twist regarding Roger's killer would be a massive "What the heck?" moment, but here, it's set up far enough in advance that it doesn't feel unnatural when it comes.
And as a fun minor detail, Eddie casually mentions being one of four children, and then the next novel, Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?, gives him two brothers and a sister! It was probably a coincidence, but I was glad to spot it!
What I Disliked: I really wasn't a fan of the way Jessica Rabbit was portrayed. Who Framed Roger Rabbit subverts her femme fatale image, but Who Censored Roger Rabbit? plays it straight, which didn't appeal to me as much. I prefer the "looks like she could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll" trope over the "looks like she could kill you, could actually kill you" trope.
At one point in the story, Jessica claims she was forced to pose for a racy comic, but when Eddie speaks to the owner of said comic, the man claims Jessica posed for those pictures willingly and was actually eager to make more. At the time the story was published (1981), one might just about have got away with such a portrayal, but in a post-#MeToo world, it's discomforting that Jessica's allegations of coercion and sexual abuse aren't taken seriously. (Also, the man who owns the racy comic is a creepy crossdresser, which ... what? Why was that in there? That didn't need to be in there.)
As a consequence of Jessica's portrayal, her relationship with Roger is nowhere near as sweet as in the film. Their entire marriage is basically a sham. No, thank you. Give me "honey bunny" and "love cup" instead, please.
Verdict: I saw the film first, and I prefer it to the novel. Who Framed Roger Rabbit will always be my favourite piece of Roger Rabbit media. But I can appreciate Who Censored Roger Rabbit? as its own thing - a product of its time, to be sure, but also a well-structured and fast-paced read.
Tumblr media
Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit?
The Plot: It's 1947 (more or less), sometime after the events of Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman, and Kirk Enigma are three toons in line for the lead role in David Selznick's upcoming adaptation of Gone With the Wind. A box belonging to Selznick, a box of great importance, has gone missing, and Eddie Valiant has been hired to find it.
What I Liked: Who P-P-P-Plugged Roger Rabbit? has my favourite portrayal of Roger (after the film and the comics). We spend a bit more time with him than in the previous book, so we get to hear more about his worldviews and his backstory. We also get to see what a sweetie pie he is. He's an emotional bunny who loves his wife, just like in the film, and I frequently wanted to hug him.
A key highlight for me was the moment when Roger was singing like a Disney Princess and summoning a chorus of birds to wake Eddie one morning, which Eddie did not appreciate. Can someone animate that? I'd love to see it!
The second half of this novel also introduces Jessica's twin sister Joellyn (the six-inch-tall woman on Eddie's shoulder on the cover), and I enjoyed getting to know her. And, without giving away too many spoilers, I greatly preferred this rendition of Jessica over the one in Who Censored Roger Rabbit?
What I Disliked: Unlike the first novel, this one was pretty slow to get going. Eddie isn't actually hired by Selznick until Chapter 7, and most of the time before then is spent establishing Eddie as a down-on-his-luck private eye, using people and locations that show up once and then are barely used again. Some of that fat could have been trimmed, I feel. It made reaching the end of the book a bit more of a slog.
Something else that bothered me was the high volume of old-timey slang, brand names and Americanisms that I, as a twentysomething Brit, did not recognise. I could read an entire paragraph and think, "Well, he's either drinking alcohol, smoking cigar or eating a foodstuff, but I'll be darned if I can tell you which is the right interpretation." I think the noir detective vernacular was slightly overdone, to the point of incomprehension.
Verdict: I thought this would be my favourite of the novels because it seemed the most similar in tone to the film, so I was disappointed by my lukewarm reception to it. Maybe I was disappointed because I'd hyped it up too much in my mind? That's not to say I didn't enjoy it - I greatly preferred the second half to the first, once Eddie found out what was actually in this mysterious box - but I think it could have done with a few more edits before publication.
Tumblr media
Who Wacked Roger Rabbit?
The Plot: It's the 1940s or 1950s, sometime after the events of Who Framed Roger Rabbit, and director Barney Sands is shooting a movie set in Toontown starring Gary Cooper and Roger Rabbit. He's been receiving threatening letters warning him to stay away from Toontown and stop making this film, but he can't afford to let down his investors. So he hires Eddie Valiant to be Cooper's bodyguard while filming takes place. But Eddie soon finds himself wrapped up in another mystery, involving a porcine crime lord called Willy Prosciutto and the corpse of Clabber Clown.
What I Liked: The majority of this novel takes place in Toontown, so we get some really cool worldbuilding details. We find out how the school system works, which churches are based in Toontown, and how crooked toons launder their money. I was particularly intrigued by the calm and serious toons in the Sanatorium - apparently, if you're not loud and goofy and bouncing off the walls, you're considered insane, which is the opposite of how humans think about mental health.
The blonde humanoid toon on the cover is Caitlyn "Honey" Graham, Willy's girlfriend. I really like Honey. In fact, she might be my favourite of the novel-exclusive characters. Throughout the book, you're trying to work out if she's a good bad girl or a bad good girl, or if she's really just a bad bad girl. If Who Framed Roger Rabbit ever gets a sequel or prequel or spin-off cartoon series, I'd love to see Honey on screen.
What I Disliked: The Roger we meet in this novel is a bit too stupid for my liking. In Who Framed Roger Rabbit, Roger made seemingly nonsensical choices, but he had his own (cartoon) logic to explain his actions, and he was even proved right in his assumptions a few times. So I much prefer to think of Roger as the kind of toon where you're never quite sure if he's truly dumb or merely playing dumb for the sake of a gag. Here, he's just straight-up dumb, and that's not as fun to read about.
Verdict: This was the book I knew the least about before I read it, so I was more cautious going in - but it ended up being my second favourite of the Roger Rabbit novels. I enjoyed learning more about Toontown and its residents. My favourite parts of the film had been the toony parts - Roger, and Jessica, and Roger and Jessica together - so I guess it makes sense that I'd enjoy the novel that takes place almost entirely in Toontown.

Jessica Rabbit: XERIOUS Business
The Plot: It's the 2020s, sometime post-pandemic, and Jessica Krupnik is a human in a toon-less world. She's working a dead-end job in a crime-ridden part of town, her stepmother bosses her around and belittles her, her stepsisters treat her like a servant, and her stepbrothers sexually harass her. She's basically a modern-day Cinderella. But instead of a fairy godmother, Jessica is rescued from her life of drudgery by an opportunity to apply for a role at XERIOUS, a crime-fighting organisation of secret agents. She gets the job, and is later put on a mission with Robbe, one of XERIOUS's most experienced agents, to catch a criminal mastermind called the Klown.
(And this is somehow a prequel to Who Framed Roger Rabbit. Despite being set decades after that film. And starring a human Jessica instead of a toon Jessica. Cartoon timelines be weird, y'all.)
What I Liked: This was the most fun novel to read! I think that's because it was a spy novel spoof, rather than a gritty noir detective story. The other three novels could be quite dour in tone - yes, cases would get solved, but people would get hurt in the process, and relationships would be irrevocably altered, so there was always this undercurrent of sadness in the seemingly happy endings. After three novels in a row of that, a story spoofing spy novels was always going to feel like a breath of fresh air. Gary K. Wolf has stated that he wrote this book in lockdown and had a lot of fun doing so, and I feel that coming across in his writing.
Robbe was another great novel-exclusive character. I can't say too much about him, because that would massively spoil things, but I can say that I enjoyed witnessing his development over the course of the novel. To give the most spoiler-free explanation I can, Robbe starts out as a suave and competent spy, but also a misogynist - until something happens to him in the line of duty that shakes his confidence. Watching him grow and try to be a better person, especially towards Jessica, while also dealing with the aftermath of his accident, was truly engaging. It even got me thinking about the portrayal of disability in fiction, which I did not expect a Roger Rabbit novel to do.
What I Disliked: For a novel called Jessica Rabbit: XERIOUS Business, Jessica herself was disappointingly under-developed. The first three chapters follow her miserable life and her desire for adventure, for respect, for something more. And then there's a two-year time skip and whoop, she's suddenly a confident and glamorous secret agent! And she's ditched her glasses and dyed her hair, so she's beautiful now! And she achieved her impossible hourglass figure with nothing but diet and exercise, despite being a human and not a toon! Sigh.
There was a real missed opportunity here. Robbe already has a plot where he starts off skilled and arrogant, but then has his worldview challenged and needs to learn to embrace vulnerability. So we could have had Jessica experiencing her own story of growth alongside him, but in reverse! We could have watched as, over the course of the novel, she transforms from the beaten-down self-conscious little girl into the sensational woman she was always meant to be. Robbe would start on top and fall down; Jessica would start at the bottom and claw her way up. The parallels could have been awesome!
Gary K. Wolf has admitted that, as a man, he would struggle to write a novel about women, and it shows. The sexism Jessica experiences doesn't have any nuance; the story just says, "Harassment is bad" over and over again. There's one moment where the Klown is sharing his nefarious plan to change the world, and Jessica responds, "I like the current world." And ... huh? You like the sexual harassment you receive on an almost daily basis? You like the system that trapped you in a dead-end job? You like all the poverty and crime and misery the world has right now? The story could have really benefitted from a feminist and/or intersectional analysis.
Also, in an effort to make Jessica seem smart, the men around her are extremely stupid, unable to see through the Klown's flimsy disguises. That is ... not the best way to make your female characters appear intelligent.
Verdict: My favourite of the Roger Rabbit novels! It's not perfect, but my criticisms are born out of love and a desire to see this concept reach its full potential. But even as it is, I still found this book a lot of fun to read, and I can excuse a few flaws if I'm having fun.

What would your lackadaisy ocs wear for Halloween?
Late answer BUT if there was halloween in the 20s like it is in the modern day:
Marius - Crossdressing and/or a French maid costume. Doesnt even have to be drunk for it, provide the outfit and he'll wear it.
Jack - finds all of this really creepy and probably not cool with God. Will still begrudingly wear a mask if given to him. Actually scary to look at if you get him in a full costume
Eveline - Not her thing. She can be persuaded to dress like some Egyptian queen or Arthurian princess or something.
Lottie - Has fun with it; she's got to be pretty, not scary. She'd probably dress like an iconic actress. The 'scariest' costume she'd wear is sexy vampire.
Slyvester - Does not care but his wife loves it so he begrudingly wears a lion's mane to match with her Circus ringleader costume. Yes she thinks of matching costumes every year
Malwina - Doesnt really get it but does her best to handmake an outfit and ends up with an actually creepy and awful ghost or scarecrow or wolf. The La Lune girls are not amused
Little Lottie - Sensitive to fabrics and hates things on her face so she'd wear something simple. Probably little angel wings and a halo headband.
Mr. Flynn - Would only bother if the Duchess was throwing some Halloween party; he'd wear a tongue-in-cheek devil horns headband with a pitchfork instead of his cane, and an impeccably tailored black suit with red lines. Gotta look good.

The first time you dressed as a girl was awkward. But like every first attempt, you learned and became better at it. Now that you are transitioning, the first thing you put in your MTF HRT timeline is that picture of you in a red tank top and black skirt. As creepy as it looks now, you didn’t realize it was also your attempt at genuinely smiling your ever-changing self. Now you know you were always a girl.
-This pic was recovered from a very old GeoCities feminization blog dated around the early 2000s, though I didn’t discover it until several years later. At the time, I imagined myself one day becoming that girl in the picture. It didn’t happen as my changes were realistically more on the male side due to puberty. Now, one can change into her, or close enough to her. Do any of you have a first crossdressing pic? What was your first memory like?

Heart Throbbing Conqueror - By 퓨키 (8/10)
Tumblr media
Oh no! I'm trapped in an Otome Game!!! Guess I'll enjoy myself in this stereotypical Pink School! Wait? What's going on? Why do the boys I'm flirting with feel like real people? Why are most of them crazy, or damaged? Who is the final boss that created this world? It's not a dream or a reincarnation story this time. I'm trapped and someone is watching.
Diana is the heroine in pink. She's dreaming. It's a freakishly long dream, about an Otome Game. She loves those and she wants to get a harem. She's beautiful. Everybody is beautiful. This world is perfect. It's set in a rich kid school, and everyone can be romanced. She has the power to see hearts above people's heads. If she gets one that's a friend. Two means the character loves her. Three means they're deeply committed to her.
Such an easy system!
Tumblr media
Everything is easy when you're an Otome Gamer with a ton of experience. Getting the ultra hard harem ending is within our Heroine's greedy grasp. She wants to be adored. She wants to feel superior. She kind of feels like a villain and the way she behaves is super toxic.
Let's see where this goes...
Tumblr media
Cassian is the ideal first target. He falls in love quickly. He's a lonely young man. He feels pressured to act perfect and kind all the time. He's popular and he wishes he had more time to relax. He's also not naive. Diana's greed for a harem is intriguing to him, and she doesn't expect him to act angelic all the time. He agrees to be her boyfriend after a passionate kiss.
Tumblr media
Cassian is step one and he knows it. He's ok with being part of a harem. His long good boy act up until now has exhausted him. He wants to be silly with someone. He's innocent when it comes to romance, but he's willing to try anything with Diana. Why? Why not? She's the female lead and heroine, and her charm is out of this world.
Tumblr media
This is the second member of the....nope...nope. Pan is a creepy yandere who falls for Diana before she even speaks to him. He brings her presents she didn't ask for. He follows her around school. He looks cheerful, but his reputation isn't very good. People keep catching him doing strange things. He likes to hurt animals, and he's quite manipulative. He uses tears to trick people into forgiving him for his violent and forceful behavior.
Tumblr media
Diana smells a rat. She has to confront Pan several times. She even has to be saved by a teacher because he's genuinely dangerous. Pan thinks Diana is his destiny. She thinks she'll love his presents.
Chopped up dove corpses are so romantic, right?
At this point Diana realizes that this game is more complex than it looks. She could stop hunting. She could enjoy her dream relationship with Cassian, but she wants more.
Tumblr media
This is the real second member of the harem. His name is Caesar, but his nickname is Bambi. He's very cute and devoted. He wants Diana to dump Cassian and date him exclusively. He falls for her slowly. He blushes and fumbles alot around her, because he's an awkward and stiff guy. Diana doesn't even like him at first, but she adds him to the harem after his cute side emerges.
Tumblr media
This is Callum. He's a boy that loves cute things and crossdressing. He lies to Diana, and he pretends to be a woman. He's extremely traumatized. His father died shortly after he was born. His mom raised him, and she's awesome. Callum has always loved dresses. He wore them as a young boy, and his mother supported his sewing hobby. Then, his mother remarried. Her new husband had a son from his own previous marriage. Both men looked down on Callum. They called him an abnormal pervert behind his mother's back.
Tumblr media
Callum develops a darker side because of this. He's afraid of being judged for what he likes. He's afraid to express himself. He starts to feel violent and bitter towards his step brother. Diana catches the two brothers fighting. She supports Callum, and guess what his mother does too! She divorces her second husband as soon as she finds out about the bullying.
Now Diana has a third extremely loyal boyfriend.
Tumblr media
Dante is another boyfriend candidate, but he's an adult that works in the school. He's harder to conquer. He's also a doll, who was made by someone else. There's a mastermind behind this pink harem game. That someone can make human dolls. I'm beginning to suspect that this entire setting is made of human dolls. Diana and the nameless puppet master may be the only real people in this dimension.
Why?
How?
That's just a guess. We don't know. The story isn't complete, but there's yandere shit happening everywhere. An ending like that would make this really unique. Diana does like her "boyfriends" but she also thinks she's dreaming. She doesn't really think of them as people. If she finds out that she's trapped she is going to leave. She never intended to stay. Diana does start to care for her harem, but I really would prefer a dark ending for this. Diana is a deeply insincere and manipulative person. Half of everything she says is a "heroine" act. Watching all the boys turn into dolls and fall apart would be a fitting ending. Then, after that she'll have to face the real obsessive mind in charge.
But that's just a theory.
