Almost there...

Nearly there.

Snowing and all out of leftovers, how ironic.

And now we have snow.

I got various nice things for Christmas, for my alter ego. Nothing for me really.

Happy Holidays!

Have a lovely and safe holiday season.

Christmas Eve

Mary... Elizabeth Winstead!

 Christmas shopping including food done now. In for the duration.

Red and green

Holland Roden in Theia at the 2013 Saturn Awards. Actually a summer event, hence the nice sunshine, but I'm making it a holiday dress in an RP...

Midwinter

The shortest day.

Christmas Wrapped

Shopping done apart from food... and some gifts for people I won't see for a while.

He's Our Hero(ine) at 3!

He's Our Her(ine) started three years ago!

Brooke Perry in closeup

Brooke Perry CU

Princess Camila Mendes

From a Riverdale Prom episode, for the conclusion of Fears And Cheers. No, my character never learned...

Daisy Ridley

For the fifth anniversary of The Force Awakens...

A small yay

Apparently there is a bit of good trans rep in That Game after all. Which is nice.

Bridgerton

Fake romance in Austenland, Emma.-ish colour palette, corset-tightening scene and all.

Gracie Ryen Lancaster pic drop

For sharing and admiring purposes.

I am delighted by all the funny C*b*rp*nk bug reports.

Ah, that naughty giggle.

Barbara Windsor

Dame Barbara Windsor has died. In a seventy-year career, she's acted in so much, though for some she'll always be the Carry On gal.

True Blood Two?

A TV show that ran for seven years may be returned or rebooted after seven years. Okay...

I mean, I would welcome the return of certain fairy princess waitresses, sexy vampires and hunky idiots, but a return would lose a lot of beloved characters, most sadly Lafayette as Nelsan Ellis has passed, and a reboot obviously invites comparisons. Sure, it could easily be less of a weird mess this time, but is that better?

Another Heroine look

Because, y'know. 

Britt Robertson and Chris Zylka in The Secret Circle, "Beneath".

Of course the govenrment is being shitty, that's their calling.

Well, C*b*rp*nk 2**7 can frag off.

Elliot Page staying at The Umbrella Academy

Elliot Page will be continuing in The Umbrella Academy, which is cool.

 Monoliths. Sure, okay 2020.

(The RP in question being a cute holiday romance with a twist you can probably guess.)

Holland Roden

An RP-induced check in.

Elliot Page

Elliot Page has announced his name and pronouns, in an open letter on Instagram where he mentions how lucky he is to be able to do so. 

This is still a brave action, much as I wish it were not. 

"Thank you for your courage, your generosity and ceaselessly working to make this world a more inclusive and compassionate place."

World AIDS Day

So much more still needs to be done.

We have made it through November.

Josie Totah

I am suddenly interested in the Saved By The Bell reboot?

Yay for Small Business Saturday, Giving Tuesday, all those things.

Stardust

If you can't get the rights to David Bowie's songs, maybe don't make a film about David Bowie. (Like you were never going to be my favourite movie called Stardust, but sheesh.)

Happy Thanksgiving, if you celebrate.

2500 posts!

That's a lot.

Confusing Christmas Crossovers

The Christmas Switch: Switched Again features a crossover with another Netflix Christmas movie... already established as a movie in the setting.

2020, not 2001

Not now, Monolith.

The Happiest Season looks so nice.

Life continues to be quiet, which I guess is better than some of the alternatives.

Support and kindness from someone in such a position means so much.

Transgender Day Of Remembrance

Take care, stay safe, as much as any of us can.

So many good things done to mark the day, I just wish they weren't needed.

President-Elect Biden wrote about it online.

Movies and TV for trans awareness

Star Trekking

I've now seen the trans and non-binary characters in Star Trek Discovery. Nicely done, though one being an alien slightly dents the push for me.

Blonde does not suit Daisy Ridley. Especially with still dark eyebrows.

And now cold weather why not.

Bit

In Bit, Nicole Maines's character being trans is a detail, never a plot point.

Children In Need did well, especially considering... everything.

Freaky

Freaky, Friday The 13th. I see what yuou did there.

Do you feel lucky?

Well do ya?

Transgender Awareness Week

Transgender Awareness Week, starting today.

And now Friday the 13th...

Courage.

Mary Wollstonecraft

Hahaha Oh wow

I will take cautious optimism.

Good sleep was had.

Good speeches (and including transgender)

YES

YES

Remember, remember...

We can do this.

Heading into more real scary times. It was good to remind myself that monsters can be defeated.

November

Just remember, for some of us, every day is Halloween.

Trick or treat!

 

Happy Halloween!

May you have many treats!

The Witches

The Witches (2020) has cute CG-toony mice and insufficiently scary witches.

The Craft: Legacy

The Craft: Legacy is nicer than the original. Nice is an interesting choice after so many fans wanted to be the 'villains' originally.

More Halloween candy achieved.

Staying in with scary movies

I'd love to be out for Halloween.

I have eaten the Halloween candy. Oops.

Hocus Pocus

A story contest for Halloween at Elliquiy. And I had a silly Heroine idea, which I decided not to inflict on the entire board...

Prompts:

1: bloodcurdling, corpse, haunt

2: shriek, spectre, ominous

Bonus phrase: Beware the witching hour.

3: eerie, mayhem, phantom

Bonus phrase: Even the dead tell stories.

4: simulacrum, blasphemous, gallows

Bonus phrase: "Save your tears..."

Lily James in Rebecca

Promising Young Woman

Promising Young Woman, from writer and director Emerald Fennell, showrunner of season two of Killing Eve, looks rather like "what if Villanelle went after people who deserved it?"

Trailer

It features Carey Mulligan... possibly murdering guys... while in a naughty nurse costume.

The New Girlfriend

The New Girlfriend, a French crossdressing film I hadn't heard of until finding it on late night TV here, based on a Ruth Rendell story.

And...

And for this long.

Relevant Riverdale reminder

I believe they only did this once.

Featuring...

Me as Camila Mendes...

Fears And Cheers poster

Wenter and my Halloween special...

Furiosa

Anya Taylor-Joy as Charlize Theron Furiosa? Hmm, 'k.

Planning a jokey horror one-shot on Ell with Wenter...

The 13th

Okay, Tuesday the 13th...

Aya Cash

The new villain in The Boys is Aya Cash from You're The Worst. Wow, hair dye and a costume really do a good disguise job.

Pen to paper

Thank you, authors.

Time for black lace.

Time for black velvet.

Time for black silk.

October

Time to wear black...

I said to wake me up when September ended...

The Craft: Legacy

I would have thought The Craft: Legacy was a remake apart from one shot in the trailer indicating sequel.

Went out and got chocolate.

Ate loads of it, of course. Resisted the temptation to get any Halloween specific stuff. Nice to see it's still happening, though.

Nearly out of chocolate. Drat.

Still here.

Ah well, I have time mice to keep me company.

And back inside.

Enola Holmes

Millie Bobby Brown's accent is really oh yeah she's actually English

Supergirl

Supergirl to end with season six. Bummer.

WandaVision

The new Marvel show looks baffling. But 50s dresses. Among other things.

Emmys 2020

 I haven't seen much Emmys fashion at all this years because of *gestures to everything* but I did like Zendaya's dress.

Hoping to start on Dress Code soon.

Lovecraft Country

The new Lovecraft Country is relevant, trying on new identities - and skin.

He's Our Heroine 2.05

A Shield In Time

Britt Robertson

Featuring Andy voluntarily making a rather small concession to feminine style...

Don't Worry Darling

Florence Pugh, Dakota Johnson, Harry Styles and Chris Pine in Don't Worry Darling, Olivia Wilde's new film about... something mysterious in 1950s California. I'm certainly curious.

I admit I have no idea what up with the Bella Thorne OnlyFans controversy.

Freaky

Freaky is that TG bodyswap horror-comedy-thriller with Vince Vaughn and Kathryn Newton as the swappers, which judging by the trailer and title choice is indeed leaning more on the comedy side.

Thanks to WB for the trailer note!

The most fantastical thing is definitely Kathryn Newton being the overlooked dowdy girl... ;)

Dame Diana Rigg

The original Queen of the Hellfire Club.

I was already against gender reveal parties.

Time IS passing! Maybe,

Low-key Halloween stuff in some stores.

Good thing I don't have to do anything at all today.

Slept all funny.

Take care out there.

Whatever works.

Wake me up when September starts

Well, that was summer. Kind of.

Awkward as I am with family, I should check in.

This week I have been mostly avoiding the rain.

I would like to enjoy Strike but, y'know.

Thursday the 13th

Seems apt.

Still sun dress weather

Didn't help much.

WAP

Something to do with Wireless Application Protocol, right?

... no?

Lightning

A storm. Big, loud... hopefully it'll take some of the heat out of the atmosphere. One night I'm actually glad to be stuck indoors.

Motherland: Fort Salem

Battle Witches!

Slightly let down by scary balloons!

Normally there would be fireworks about now.

And Saturday...

Friday night

Friday night, time to put on something sexy and go dancing... ideally.

There really is a movie called Undercover Cheerleader.

It's a Lifetime movie of the week about exposing a bad coach. And the undercover cheerleader was a girl already. But still.

Tired...

And need another soon

Which is nice.

A Little Favor

Another go at the 'friend needs a date for an event'...

Staged

It may be kind of cheating to use Kim Petras as a model for a passing CD pop star...

Collecting resources for RPs

Maybe leave the TG episode for later.

If your second episode is about a character changing gender so his best friend has a date to the school dance, you're setting up expectations, The Jellies.

It is not my Elliversary...

Goodness... two requests to RP, both willing to share.

Trying to convince his mother that this won't work...
