Hello hello--I was wondering if it would be acceptable to submit a fic where a bi character talks about biphobia and how it's made them feel (tagged with appropriate warnings, of course) or if that sort of topic is a no-go entirely for this event? Thanks <3

Hello, thank you for your ask!!

Yes, we are happy to accept a fanfic with these topics as long as the content follows our guidelines and is appropriately tagged for the safety of others.

Thank you again!

Review: Ghostbusters Reboot 2016

Plot

After a tour guide is attacked by a malevolent spirit, we are introduced to Erin Gilbert, a humorous yet professional physics professor at Colombia University. When she finds out a paranormal-themed book she co-wrote with her childhood friend Abby Yates has been published online, she freaks out and goes to visit her. Soon enough, Erin finds herself dragged back into investigating the supernatural with Abby and her eccentric assistant engineer Jillian Holtzmann permanently as she gets fired from her job.

Along the way, bold MTA worker Patty Tolan and dumb receptionist Kevin Beckman join the team in their development of anti-ghost technology and aiding people with paranormal misfortune. However, they soon run into trouble with disillusioned scientist Rowan North, who is set on unleashing Hell on Earth by releasing all spirits from their dimension. Fortunately, the Ghostbusters inevitably save the day by firing proton streams left, right, and centre, and closing the portal, trapping Rowan in the other dimension.

Production

Special effects have taken a giant leap forwards since the original Ghostbusters was released in the ‘80s, so the CGI definitely looks cool, especially in the big fight scenes (e.g. Times Square). However, it did feel over-used at times, to the point where it was a little unnecessary. Saying that, the design of the ghosts was creepy and appealing; even the Ghostbusters-logo-on-steroids at the end was kind of terrifying! Costume and set design was also great – even though they stayed very much loyal to the original looks in terms of the Ecto-1 and beige boiler suits, it worked well in a more modern setting. Aside from the generic Ghostbusters outfit, I thought the other clothes were nice too, especially Holtzmann’s; her style was wonderful.

Watchability

Due to the straightforward yet engaging plot, the film was easily watchable. The actions went from A to B, which was simple enough to understand, although it was rather fast-paced which made for entertaining content. It was also incredibly fun to watch thanks to the comedy and hilarious characters – I found myself smiling through most of it.

Comedy

Speaking of which, brings us to an assessment of the jokes. The film isn’t classed as being solely that of the comedy genre, although humour is rather a large aspect of it. Personally, I think it works very well. The mixture of sci-fi/supernatural and jest made for a compelling watch, and I genuinely thought the majority of the jokes were laugh-out-loud funny. Especially the Mike Hat/my cat joke, I loved that one.

Characters

The characters could be said to be exaggerated and unrealistic, but I think that’s the point, especially in a comedy. Kevin’s astounding stupidity creates many laughs, and Holtzmann’s enthusiastic-bordering-on-worryingly-obsessive attitude is extremely entertaining.  The only real criticism I have is that Rowan wasn’t a brilliant villain – his motives were kind of strange, Erin somehow managed to figure out his evil plan in an unlikely short amount of time, and he just generally wasn’t very memorable (honestly, I didn’t even know his name until researching to write this review). He was at his best when possessing Kevin, and I think that’s mostly down to Chris Hemsworth’s acting.

Overall I’d definitely rate this one as a Jam. I found it really enjoyable, despite the ridiculous amount of hate surrounding its release. It wasn’t made as a political statement, but rather as a way of showing that women are just as interesting at the centre of a film as men. I loved the cast choice too, and thought their chemistry made their interactions delightful to watch. All-in-all, I’d certainly recommend Ghostbusters 2016, for fans of the originals as well as those new to the film.

Welcome to my home, sorry not sorry about the clutter. Haha, no I'm the "afraid to throw anything away because I might need that magazine again" kind of OCD not the "my home is so clean that you will not find a speck of dust in the vacuum cleaner" kind of OCD.

[ocdrantings]

I start seeing a new therapist tomorrow. I've been having a lot of anxiety and compulsions lately, so hopefully she'll be helpful.

Me: *reaches out to my family for support about OCD and health problems in general*

Mom: Yeah, being an adult sucks sometimes.

Me: Yeah. Well, gotta go bye.

My brain: Was she trying to relate to me or trying to tell me to quit acting like a child? *thinks of nothing else for the rest of the day*
