i have no idea what the star thing is but it seems to spawn interesting results sooo here: ★

It's just if you give me a star then I post a fact about myself. I've been doing stories cause why not?

Fifth one! I still don't have any more stories though... Wait. Oh god. Okay so now that I've thought of it there's no going back.

When I was young, I was seriously desperate for a boyfriend. I was going through puberty and stuff and it was just like, ugh. Puberty. So anyway, I've always had stuffed animals. Like a shit ton of them. And like a little girl wanting a boyfriend... Oh god I can't even say it... Fuuuuuccccck! But I practiced kissing on them when I got bored and shit, and then one day my brother walks in on me doing this. I panicked and told him that I was practicing CPR to make sure that the bear was still alive.

This is so fucking stupid dear god why did I write ANY OF THIS

Hellboy raised his eyebrow, he had never seen so many people in the BPRD's headquarters, let alone that many people in the waiting room...were they all coming in? who were they here for? He snuck around the corner and his tail whipped about curiously.

Kind of curious, how did you get into Hellboy/BPRD?

Waaay back in 2004 my 14-year-old bff and 14-year-old me went to see Hellboy in this little podunk movie theater in our hometown. It was showing alongside “The Passion of the Christ”—we appreciated the irony. The movie seemed like it would be about monsters and superheroes and probably Lovecraftian stuff, which were all things I loved!

So we went and we both loved it, but I guess I loved it a little more because later I hunted down as many of the comics as I could find at the time and started reading them. And it turned out that I enjoyed the comics way more than I enjoyed the movie. The Hellboy comics were great, but after reading Hollow Earth I really loved the characters in BPRD. I think Plague of Frogs was coming out around that time, so I followed it issue by issue and by #5 I was completely hooked (and had also decided upon my favorite character).

Ever since then I’ve been reading all the Mignolaverse titles, though it’s really only in the past few years or so (maybe since King of Fear?) that I fully appreciated they were really Going Somewhere with all this and that these series were not just really good, but also something really unique and exciting to be a part of, in a way!
