An angel in the bedroom, a whore in the kitchen

I don’t usually have dreams within dreams, but I kept trying to tell various uninterested parties about the dream I’d had about a Saturday matinee on a spaceship, with a handful of kids down in front watching some old black-and-white serial on the screen, and a throuple of shapeshifters making out in the back row.

Dear Yule Writer— Thanks for volunteering to write a fic for me. I am moon_custafer on AO3 as I am here. Repeating the first part of this letter from past years:

General likes— Hurt-comfort. Conversation. Period-specific details. Ghosts or supernatural. Found family. Casefic or plotfic. I don’t mind explicit sex scenes, but I’m usually indifferent to them. OTOH kissing or touching hands, foreheads, stroking hair, etc, are great, as are descriptions of the characters’ appearance.

General DNWs—AUs that deviate from canon to the point of being a completely different premise/setting, i.e. high-school/coffee-shop/ABO dynamics.

My requests for this year:

Мастер и Маргарита - Михаил Булгаков | The Master and Margarita - Mikhail Bulgakov
Hella, Behemoth, Margarita Nikolayevna
I’d love to know more about Hella, beyond “she’s a sexy vampire”; I’d like to see how she interacts with Margarita; and Behemoth is always a delight to read about.

The Moonstone - Wilkie Collins:
Ezra Jennings, Mr. Candy
My favourite character in the book has always been Ezra Jennings, the mysterious mixed-race doctor with a clouded past and a terminal illness. His only friend is his colleague, the flamboyant Mr. Candy who unwittingly contributes to the mystery. I’ve shipped these two for years. Pre-canon would be nice, but feel free to write whatever you want.


Decoy (1946)
Margot Shelby, Sergeant Joseph "Jojo" Portugal, Frankie Ollins, Dr. Lloyd Craig.
This movie packs a lot (including SF/horror) into its runtime. Margot is the most gleefully evil femme fatale I’ve ever seen. I wouldn’t mind a little of Frankie’s PoV after he’s returned to life by the dose of methylene blue.

The Green Man (TV)
Maurice Allington, Rev. Sonnenschein, Joyce Allington, Amy Allington
Maurice is a somehow-endearing absolute trash-fire of a man. Also I love that he and Rev. Sonnenschein successfully exorcise the ghost even though the Reverend doesn’t personally believe in the ritual he’s doing. Possible prompts: Maurice reconciling himself to the fact that his wife and his mistress have dumped him for each other. Maurice and Rev. Sonnenschein teaming up to investigate another supernatural event. How much does Amy remember about what happened, and how does it change her relationship with her father?

Get Crazy (1983)
Toad, Reggie Wanker, King Blues, Auden 
The ending of this movie leaves plenty of room for further adventures for any or all of the characters. Reggie and the band’s new direction? King Blues and his band and their adventures in the Motor City? Auden’s new album? Or anything you wish.

No word from the place that interviewed me, so I likely didn’t get it.

Went to a clothing swap today, this one in a David-Bowie-themed bar on Queen West. Brought in my khaki drawstring linen slacks (nice, but I have other pants now); my black jersey mock-turtleneck dress (haven’t worn it in at least a year); and my blue velvet cocktail dress (never worn, not likely to unless somebody I know gets married in the winter months and invites me to the wedding—which I can’t see happening any time soon); along with a few other things.

Got several items I’m pleased with, also a pair of grey nylon joggers I may use in a Hallowe’en costume, and a couple of t-shirts that amuse me. One has the MTV logo, though it’s almost certainly of recent vintage. One has a picture on it of Spongbob dressed as a vampire.

Speaking of pop-culture, I discovered yesterday that at least four productions of Anne Washburn’s Mr. Burns: A Post-Electric Play are viewable in their entirety on YouTube—thereby preserving on video ephemeral performances of a stage play about recreating and reimagining lost media in a post-apocalyptic world.

ETA: Here are some clips and interviews from the time of the original production, though I sort of prefer the way the subsequent versions costume Act III (75 years later) in a more stylized way.
