I haven't updated in a long time because two moves, a work trip, vet appointments, psych appointments, a convention, and car repairs took a lot out of me. I have a special deal on my GoT-inspired romantasy, but my deal announcement turned into me pouring my heart out. #Romancelandia #Booksky

Name your fav comic film that isn’t DC or Marvel. Mine's actually The Crow as well, but I don't wanna make this chain redundant so here's another fave:

For some reason it wouldn't upload with the alt text. This was video of a dark highway, showing the previous HOH anthologies, then showing that this year, Highway of Haunts is coming.

Give us a Catwoman with more Orange Cat energy. Also give her some zoomies. Have her exhibit territorial behavior, scratch things up, maybe even pee on something out of spite. Have her be a cuddly doofus with whoever she loves. Maybe have Batman give her some scritches behind her ears.

While Kitt wasn't plus-sized, she built up the "I'm SUPPOSED to BE LIKE A CAT" aspect of the character better than anyone, with Michelle Pfeifer being a close second. All the other Catwoman iterations focused more on the whole "Femme Fatale with a sexualized imitation of feline grace" portrayal.

You know, after seeing how many chonky, fluffy cats there are in the world, I'd kinda love to see a plus-sized Catwoman. The outcry would be terrible and obnoxious, but I feel like it could work if it was back to the vibe of the Batman TV show in Eartha Kitt's Catwoman era.

So if you're thinking of writing a story involving rape & femicide, there are ways to do it that aren't cheap exploitation and a tired plot device. Just remember it's one of the gravest wrongs a person can do to another, but also the victim is more than just a victim. Remember their humanity.

Alt: The Crow Eric Draven and Shelly Webster embracing. There is a caption of 2 random names that don't apply in this context.

Her existence as a full-fledged character is discussed throughout the film, and it is HER pain that ultimately defeats the main villain as Eric uses his Crow powers to make the boss of the rapists experience it. "30 hours of pain. All at once. All for you."

100

Brooklyn Ann @brooklynannauthor.com · 18/08/2026

Shelly's rape and murder isn't portrayed as an insult/property damage to Eric. It's the harm & loss of a full-fledged human being who was a good and loved person by Eric, Sarah, and others. When Eric enacts vengeance, he constantly reinforces that fact and that evil was done to his love.

100

Brooklyn Ann @brooklynannauthor.com · 18/08/2026

Normally stories that use the rape and death of a female character as motivation for a male character's arc suck. But The Crow did that and it was GOOD. Why? Because while the others reduce the woman to a plot device and give her no humanity, The Crow constantly reminds us of Shelley's humanity.

Brooklyn Ann @brooklynannauthor.com · 18/08/2026

I mostly agree with this, but with the caveat that the films and shows with rape scenes that are designed to titillate serve no one but rapey men and those ones are best eliminated from the screen. But a film that handled a rape scene and other issues other male-centered films fail at was The Crow.

When you say something is “cringe,” you are telling us you are afraid of looking silly or being ridiculed for liking something. Be brave. Love what you love. Be loud about it. We are all going to die someday and worrying about “cringe” is a waste of precious time.

I am a VERY newly annointed single mum and the circumstances leading to this newfound status have been really ugly - deeply unpleasant, upsetting and destabilising. If you've ever enjoyed my books, blu-ray work or horror documentaries, now is the time to help a sister out!

Another band that does amazing covers, IMO, is Megadeth. "These Boots," "I Ain't Superstitious," "No More Mr. Nice Guy," "Anarchy in the UK," "Paranoid," even "Ride the Lightning," though Dave's poor voice is weaker due to the throat cancer.
