I am a poetry author, a fiction writer, a voracious reader, and a tea drinker extraordinaire.

I am thrilled to announce that my poem "Big Bad Heartburn" is going to be published in the Winter Solstice issue of Eternal Haunted Summer eternalhauntedsumme
Also, arguably the gayest in the entire franchise. Call/Ripley and Johner/Vriess all the way, baby!

It's why I loved the She-Ra reboot so much because it emphasized that one's life, specifically a queer woman's life, doesn't have to be some cosmic price for peace. That choosing to live can be just as noble as being willing to die.

We see many characters willing to die for loved ones or even strangers, but we rarely see characters choosing to live, making the "selfish" choice of putting themselves above others.

While I do get a character willing to die for her child, I think the trope also lends to the discussion of how characters, and often time they're women and/or queer/coded, are idolized when they die in an almost ritualistic hero's sacrifice.

Honestly, I thought its death scene was too graphic, even for an Alien film. I did like that it had Ripley's eyes. Strangely, I really liked the Offspring in Romulus.

Oh, my gosh! We actually got a trans woman character voiced by a trans woman actress?! That makes me so happy🥰

Does he think if he keeps repeating the same old BS, people will suddenly start believing it?

I think that I am one of the few people who unironically loves Alien Resurrection. Don't get me wrong, I still hate the Newborn, but I do get what they were trying to do with it.

What really amazes me is when minorities, especially women, refuse to vote or discuss any political topics. We literally had to fight for the right to vote as women in this country. Also, it doesn't matter if you are "into politics," because the politicians are all interested in your rights.

"Serious Sci-fi fan🙄" Someone needs to tell this dude that sci-fi is supposed to be fun. Can it be serious? Absolutely. But Sci-fi is about the exploration of human and above human possibilities, enjoying strange alien universes, whether you would have sex with your clone, etc. Have fun with it!

Do these people Actually live on planet Earth? I am genuinely being serious at this point. Sorry that I don't spend over $100 on a new phone every year🙄

What the hell?! Gods, I hate AI shit. Every time I see an AI "artist" on this site, I immediately block them.

Saw both of them. The Thing from Another World seemed to not only inspire Carpenter's, but also elements in Aliens and the Predator film franchises.

Also, this asshole has no business calling anyone else a "traitor." He attempted to facilitate a failed coup where people DIED and pardoned all the traitors who committed it.

No, I think she needs to be flatly proven wrong because of one particular character: Valentino. Valentino cannot be redeemed because Valentino is a rapist. If this show seriously goes the route that rapist characters can be redeemed, it's crossing a line that most fans will probably condemn.
