Hey, I was just wondering if you have any desire to continue writing “some unholy key to perdition?” I can understand if you’re burnt out.

i’ve actually been thinking about that a lot lately. i was just going over my google docs for that fic to see if i could reasonably continue it, but with the way it’s structured i’m sorry to say i don’t have any desire to. it was very rooted in the plot of parts 1 and 2 which i don’t remember much of anymore. i had a color coded planning doc for suktp (which....lmao i love that for me), and the ideas/themes i had ready for it are still things that i want to explore!! like, there are more stories i want to tell about these characters. i just don’t think i want to tell them within some unholy key to perdition. 

i’m not sure what that means for the fate of suktp. like if someone wants to pick it up i think that’d be cool, but it might just sit unfinished on ao3. as for being burnt out, i am 100% that. caos exhausts me, but it also makes me want to write something better for the characters i care about. like i’m really into the spellman family dynamics, so i’ve been planning out a fic about that lately. i’m so sorry to disappoint about some unholy key to perdition though. i appreciated everyone’s support on that fic so so much and am glad it resonated with people in the fandom <3

Thoughts On CAOS Part 4 From A Black Queer Woman

I have several complaints about Part 4 but this post will be about the poor choices the writers made surrounding Zarie, as well as Mambo Marie’s short existence in this universe and fandom. This is a pretty long rant, and I will probably lose followers after this, but I don’t really care. Especially since CAOS is over.

MAJOR PART 4 SPOILERS BENEATH THE CUT. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED.

Keep reading

[moon-rise]

The fact that Miranda is vocal about being unable to finish watching the season hurts me on a spiritual level

[colorofmymindposts]

CAOS really said let’s hire Michelle Gomez and Miranda Otto — two of the most accomplished actresses of our time — and completely disrespect them in our narratives and waste their talent huh 

[mirandalinotto]

Not only waste their talent but like… actively abuse their characters. Like the writers really sat around a table and said: let’s hurt them. let’s make their storylines as traumatic as possible, and then just… never talk about it again.

“She didn’t know what the woman wanted, didn’t know what she was looking for between Zelda’s legs, but she never seemed to find it because she always came back for more.”

THIS. THIS SENTENCE.

This has been floating in my goblin brain since some unholy key to perdition was first posted, and I’m very sorry but I just couldn’t NOT say that this is still my favourite fucking line I’ve ever read and every time I come across it again I’m overwhelmed with the physical feeling of just- ‘!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!’ It’s just delicious and very much appreciated.

I do hope you’re doing well and life is treating you kindly ❤️

hi oh my god thank you so much. i’ve been staring at this for like 2 days thinking about how to reply because my own goblin brain doesn’t comprehend that people think about and perceive my writing!!! thanks for taking the time to say this so long after that story was posted. i’m so glad you liked that line i remember being proud of it

and i hope YOU’RE doing well despite everything going on (the dumpster fire of part 4 included) <3 <3 <3

okay but how does afterlife in caos work? because it seems incredibly inconsistent and I still don’t understand.

Diana and Tommy die and go to scary mortal limbo because they have unfinished business but Diana is able to move on to ~somewhere else~

Theo’s uncle dies and goes to hell (because.... he’s gay?)

Edward is not in hell? Which is odd since he was a witch who signed the book of the beast

Zelda dies and goes to pretty witch limbo

Sabrina Morningstar mentions that there’s too many souls in hell and they need to get rid of some but get rid of them WHERE?

When Sabrina Morningstar dies Lucifer and Caliban are unaware so she doesn’t go to hell

In p3 Sabrina mentions she doesn’t think she can go to heaven when talking to that one older man she was supposed to reap

Lilith kills baby Adam to keep him away from Lucifer so we can assume demon babies don’t go to hell

Lilith ALSO wants to kill herself or die to escape Lucifer so the assumption is she won’t be going to hell- where would she go????

Marie is supposed to go shepherd souls so is she in charged of where people go?

Sabrina Spellman goes to The Sweet Hereafter when she dies, which looks remarkably like the usual media portrayal of heaven (also like The Good Place from The Good Place). But she’s the antichrist? Also a witch who signed the book of the beast? I could understand if she was in heaven because she a) died a Hero’s Death b) was baptized Catholic or c) part celestial BUT

NICK IS NONE OF THESE THINGS. He died either in a freak/reckless accident or by suicide so why is he there?

Chilling Adventures of LGBTQ+ Representation - An Essay

From the moment I watched Part 1 of CAOS in 2018, I was hooked. I fell in love with the characters so quickly that I converted my entire tumblr blog and was dedicated to posting about the show. As the years have gone by I’ve acknowledged the show’s faults, as have many other fans, but for the most part I’ve tried not to think about it too hard.

I can’t not think about it anymore. As a young queer woman who has been queerbaited and misrepresented by media my ENTIRE life, I have many thoughts about the way Chilling Adventures of Sabrina handled their lgbtq+ representation throughout the four parts of the show.

I guess an essay has to have a thesis so here’s mine: The LGBTQ+ ‘representation’ in Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is very harmful, if it can even be considered representation at all.

I am going to delve into not only ships, but also the way queerness is handled in general throughout the different tones and side stories of the show.

Am I at all qualified to analyze this? Well I’m not a professional but I am queer and I’ve had plenty of time to think about this over the last couple of years. We’re going to jump around a bit, so bear with me. Here are my thoughts.

Please Be Aware - anything below this break contains mentions of homophobia, religion based homophobia, and CAOS Part 4 Spoilers

I’d also like to talk about another problem, the way gender is treated in this series is way too binary and in some point borderline transphobic.

the only non-binary rappresentation is the angel who uses they/them pronouns in one line of the 5 min we saw them and I’m also tired of having only non-human rappresentation which is fine in shows where everyone is like that like double trouble from she-ra but here where the cast is mainly human is very sad and gives the message that the non-binary experience is not human.

I’m also really uncomfortable with how the “divine feminine” is rappresented, it’s very TERFish with the whole woman=womb/childbirth thing. I’m not sure if they were transphobic since there are no known transfeminine characters. Lilith childbirth scene is also quite uncomfortable, theyvcould have added a transmasculine individual to show that they can also give birth and that it’s normal but here another missed opportunity.

[tnbwdlm]

Love how they got Zelda to stop Lilith from killing herself without her even knowing and her just being like yeah all of our lives suck

[church-of-lilith]

These writers wouldn’t let characters talk about trauma if their careers depended on it

[spellman-sisters-mortuary]

is your dumpster fire blog layout because of how bad Part 4 was? Lmfaooo

lmaooo it absolutely is thanks for noticing ☺️🔥

[spellman-sisters-mortuary]

wow. well. that was something i watched with my own two eyes

[kutekoolkat]

#context? what context? 

[spellman-sisters-mortuary]

i’m going to preface this by saying that i don’t think the writers were competent enough to think of this i think they just wanted an excuse to get sabrina drunk but i’d like to believe that the reason she was seated away from hilda and zelda at the wedding is because hilda knew how childish she was being and didn’t want her ruining the mood by seating her with the family

Good Riddance To Sabrina Spellman, TV's Most Entitled Character

'Chilling Adventures of Sabrina's biggest error was in positioning Sabrina’s privilege as what also made her a hero.

This article captures why Sabrina’s ending felt unearned. Her character arc (or non-arc) was annoyingly pointless. So many missed opportunities with this show’s last two seasons.
