Oh, look, finally, a pinned intro:

════════════════════════

♰Boaz/Bo, He/Him (🏳️‍⚧️)♰

𓋹 INTJ, 17 y/o, Aquarius 𓋹

════════════════════════

—>Interests:

•Comics! Hellboy/BPRD (the main focus of this blog, clearly), Watchmen, Swamp Thing, Preacher (sorry) + some other stuff

•Short Stories! Ray Bradbury, Clive Barker, Stephen King, a bunch of stuff on NoSleep (although not everything I like from there is “short”), ect

•Movies! Especially Fight Club, Pan’s Labyrinth, V/H/S, Classic Horror, and Late Night With The Devil

•Music! I’ll listen to most genres, but some of my favorite artists are The Mountain Goats, Blitzkid, The Birthday Massacre, The Cramps, Gordon Lightfoot, Sarah & the Safe Word, Ghost, KMFDM, The Cure, Neutral Milk Hotel, and MCR. Weird combination, I know

•Other Stuff I like: DRAWING!!! passenger pigeons, overusing parenthesis and em-dashes and ellipsis, sewing and crocheting and similar crafts, Pennsylvanian History, goth subculture, Horror in general, Creepcast, Jewelry making, zombies, and video essays.

—>Other Stuff To Know:

•I’m not diagnosed with anything (anything that matter to strangers on the internet, anyway), and I don’t really like self-diagnosing, but there’s definetly some things wrong with my brain (and body, for that matter), so please be patient if I’m acting a little off/“slow” at some points.

•I’m a (sharing) self-shipper, with Abe Sapien— I don’t post/talk about that on this account, though… (if you DO wanna see that, it’s on @z0mbo …)

•I love talking!!! DM me if you want…. Please…. I want online friends

•DNI: transphobes, homophobes, racists, ableist, and anyone who thinks excessive discourse and infighting is fun.

(And. Yes, I know I only ever post about, like, two comic series on here, so an intro is sort of not needed, but I might start posting about other stuff eventually…. Who knows.)

My therian masks came and im tempted to make a Hellbull one 👁👁

To quote watchmen,

[phoenix-chet]

Let’s blame Abe changing colours on climate change

[hugsandfishes]

Hellboy: Odd Jobs is fun because half of the stories are the typical stuff you would expect in the comics: Medusa, demons, Liz having the worst day ever, ect. Then, the other half: a head that gives you head, Giant Talking Rat, “The Government is evil because everyone is secretly possessed”, “Hate Churches are evil because their leaders secretly demons”, and fairy mpreg... okay

[rogerthehomunculus]

they never adapted Kate into the movies because seeing the interview that made her and Hellboy friends to begin with would’ve killed everyone

[hugsandfishes]

Every once in a while i worry that I’m going to run out of things to post about. And then I see a Fight Club fanblog and it’s like. If they’re still making content then I can too

[hugsandfishes]

BPRD AU where they’re all in one big polyamorous relationship and instead of characters dying they just leave (or get kicked out of) the polycule

[rogerthehomunculus]

not to make every single hellboy reread about how the adaptations miss the point so bad they shoot their own foot but im reading The Corpse again and since that’s pretty much the only short story to become unanimous with Hellboy across the movie adaptations (besides Crooked Man), i do feel like complaining about them never adding in the detail that the fae are testing Hellboy to see what his true nature could be in the future. Hellboy adaptations are fucking allergic to adapting the actual overarching story I fear

[hugsandfishes]

Music taste headcanons for various Hellboy/BPRD characters because. I have thoughts

•First of all, I don’t think Hellboy would be going out of his way to listen to music very often, but that doesn’t mean he would have preferences. I think he’d like some classic country— Johnny Cash, Glen Campbell, maybe Hank Williams? And maybe some folk, I think he’d like Bob Dylan at the least. I’m also certain he’d like The Doors. Their music reminds me a lot of him, to be honest.

•Unlike Hellboy, Abe is (canonically) the kind of person who spends a lot of time listening to music. In the books, he listens to Sting and some country/folk band (that I can’t remember the name of), so a lot of what I think he’d listen to is based on that; I think he’d like Billy Joel, Jim Croce, The Police, Seal, maybe, and most definitely Gordon Lightfoot. He’d probably like Bob Dylan and Johnny Cash due to Hellboy, and I feel like he’d start listening to a little bit of The Smiths due to Liz liking them.

•I also can’t see Liz being incredibly picky with her music taste, I think she’d be able to tolerate anything. I can’t help but see her a goth and industrial fan, though; I think she’d be a fan of Soiuxsie and the Banshees, The Cure, The Smiths, Depeche Mode and maybe also Simple Plan. I’ve had a headcanon for a while that she’d listen to some older industrial music, like Throbbing Gristle and Skinny Puppy, and it would have started as a shock value thing (to keep people from bothering her when she blasted it from her room at the Bureau as a teen), until she started to genuinely like the music.

•Kate’s music taste I’ve decided completely on vibes but I think she’d be a fan of Donovan, Jefferson Airplane, James Taylor and Fleetwood Mac for sure, and I think her and Hellboy would bond over both liking Bob Dylan.

•Roger seems like the kind of guy to just like music, not specific genres. I could see him listening to classical music, but I think he’d also like the soundtracks of older musicals, anything with piano, and just a little bit of 70’s-80’s pop. Also, were he to discover Ben’s music taste, I think he’d end up listening to that as well.

•…I have no clue what Johann would like tbh... sorry Johann fans, I’ve failed you 😔

•Considering the fact Ben was canonically raised incredibly American™ with no connection to his culture, I think he’d also like some country music, maybe some of it little newer than what Hellboy listens to. Hank Williams Jr., George Straight, maybe even Dolly Parton? Once he got older, though, I think he’d start to see it as “trashy and stupid” and stop listening to music as much in general, but he’d still tune into the country radio station when alone in a vehicle.

I know I’m one of those people who constantly talks about how normal comic Abe is compared to movie Abe and how “they’re basically two different characters!!!!” but every once in a while he says something like this in the comics and it’s like. Dude. Maybe people would like you if stopped talking like ChatGPT. You sound like you CP-30sona from the movies and it’s making me look like an idiot when I compare you two
