the best fanfiction you've ever read was written by a woman in her 40s before she made dinner for her kids. it was written by a teenager after school when they should've been studying for a history test. and a barista came up with the idea while they cleaned the espresso machine and busser fact-checked it on their break and the post-doc edited between writing grant proposals and the nurse apologized for typos in the notes after a long shift and behind every drabble and one-shot and multi-chapter fic there is a person with a wonderful and interesting and chaotic life and it is such a privilege that we get to be apart of it because they decided to do this thing we all share, for fun.

@dailymaul​ operation 01: favorite maul moments ↳ Maul acting like an interior design expert on The Ghost when his cave on Dathomir literally looks like the Lotho Minor junkyard from his garbage-spider days.

Welcome back to HGTV’s (HoloGraphic Television) House Hunters: Galaxy. Maul, formerly Darth, is an ex-Sith Lord bachelor looking for home sweet home… or so it seems. The one-time Mand’alor has infiltrated a modified VCX-100 light freighter, dubbed The Ghost and home to the Spectre cell. With Hera Syndulla and the Ghost Crew his captives, Maul requests a “tour” of the sleeping quarters — eager to pass scathing design judgment while hunting for a hidden Jedi artifact that holds the key to his vengeance.

So, Alisha Weir as Abigail was just delightful when she was being all wild, chaotic, and monstrous... but this is the part that really stuck with me. Lazar says "I came when you needed me" (which, excuse you, you're about 15 minutes late, darling) and Abigail 'responds' with this:

Honestly, this whole scene was fantastic, despite it being so short. Alisha proved that she could more than hold her own against an actor as seasoned as *spoiler*

(then again, I shouldn't be surprised - she played Matilda against Emma Thompson's Trunchbull)

But then, pure vulnerability.

Again, this scene is so short, but holy crap, Alisha nailed it. All Abigail wanted was her father's attention. But instead of it coming across as obnoxious and whiny, it's so subdued and quietly desperate. And Alisha got that across without saying a single word.

Which is also doubly impressive because Lazar looked like, well, That and it was still a really touching, emotional moment. So, instead of me pissing myself laughing at the contrast of seeing his buck-teeth-fangs, I nearly burst out crying.

[internetmisfitsworld]

I'll never shut up about this moment. Props to Alisha and Matthew for their top-notch acting.

This brief moment of vulnerability between powerful vampires, a daughter and her beloved estranged father.

Abigail's look said a thousand words.

And Lazar understood it all. At last.

He understood just how much he screwed up. You can see it from his eyes, the way it slowly softens the longer he looks at her, the way his mouth trembled.

Not only did she feel abandoned by him, but she almost died too.

If it wasn't for... that human, his daughter would've died.

He's so used to the fact that his daughter is a powerful vampire. Well, he made sure she was, with all that training.

Untouchable. Unbreakable.

He would never have had to worry about her safety. He can't remember the last time he ever worries for her safety.

Until now. Until he saw the look on her face. And then the blood and guts of, what he knows, must be a vampire, under his foot.

For a moment, he was horrified. She was almost killed by a vampire. The realization turn his mouth dries, trembling, his breath short-

Not here. He thought to himself. The human is still here.

So, he composed himself, stood up, and spoke as softly as he could;

"I'm here now"

And he meant it. He will be here by her side from now on.

Also, Joey is way stronger than I ever could be cos if someone kissed my hand like this

(good lord, that stare...)

I'd melt like an Icy Pole in the middle of January.

rewatched abigail last night. rickles and joey are never beating the soulmates allegations for me.

[wendyliddel]

Okay, Abigail viewers, I had a couple of questions about Abigail's father, and I was wondering what other people's theories are, or if anyone has a confirmed answer.

Is Abigail's father Dracula? (This seemed to be the popular theory before the movie premiered but, unless I missed something, it was never confirmed in the movie. (though he did say that he has "gone by many names"))

Do we think that this is Abigail's biological father, or is she a girl he kidnapped and turned into a vampire? (The second theory seems more likely, especially since Abigail says that her father thought he wanted a child but then lost interest, and we do know that he turned her, but was he her father before that? I think it's unlikely, but Alisha and Matthew really do look like they could be father and daughter).

[internetmisfitsworld]

The possibility of the second one has been in my head ever since I walked out of the theatre. It's highly plausible, especially with Abigail's line. "He thought he wanted a kid."

But it's also plausible that Abigail is his biological daughter. So yeah, let's go into both theories.

Also, something to note, Abigail, never once mentioned her mother. Which is interesting. That opens to more questions. Maybe her mother died during labour, hence why she had no memories of her? Or is it such a sore topic, hence why she never brought it up?

There's a few potential backstories that I thought of ;

Version 1: A deadly plague happened many centuries ago. Lazar found a "cure" but he was too late to save his wife. He took the cure and turned Abigail when she's about to succumb to her illness.

Version 2: Hotel Transylvania sort of backstory. I'm not sure whether vampires can procreate or not in this universe, but let's just go with it.

Humans attacked them. Wife died in the attack. He turned Abigail after she was fatally injured.

Version 3: Lazar was lonely. He met Abigail, who recently lost her parents to (insert tragedy). He grew fond of her, and they bonded together. He turned her due to fearing he would lose her one day and being alone again.

Soo yeah these are so far what I had in mind. Feel free to add up!
