No, but seriously, do you know how amazing Vincent Price is?
Not just as an actor, although he was a blast to watch in everything he did. He’s one of those actors who’s just clearly having a whale of a time, no matter how bad the film is. He’s just genuinely happy to be there (it makes his villains a particular delight, and he played a LOT of them).
But did you know that he was also on the PFLAG board after his daughter came out to him? And that he was one of the earliest celebrities to speak out against the silence surrounding the AIDS epidemic?
Did you know that when his daughter came out to him, he admitted to her that it had been difficult for him during his first two marriages, because his wives had not been pleased to find out that their husband was just as interested in men as they were?
That’s right, kids, Vincent Price was BISEXUAL AS FUCK, and it was one of those open Hollywood secrets. And his wife Coral Browne? The one he grew old with and wrote cookbooks with and was basically ridiculously sweet with?
Also bisexual as fuck. They were the queer power couple of Hollywood in the 70s. His daughter, Victoria, grew up around Rock Hudson and members of the LGBT community. When she came out, Vincent Price became a board member of PFLAG and was just about the most accepting and awesome dad.
Did you know that Vincent Price played Oscar Wilde in a one-man play, and when it was denounced by anti-gay activist Anita Bryant, he dismissed her right back, saying that Oscar Wilde had already come up with a term for her: a Woman of No Importance? Because Vincent Price was deliciously witty and an awesome person.
Let me conclude with a quote from his daughter (from this article, where I got a lot of this information):
‘“In a funny way, and I think I’m going to cry, he understood me at 22 better than I understood myself then,” Price concluded. “Of course, he was in his 70s and lived a hell of a lot longer than I had, and he understood that at the end of the day it’s about who and what and how we love. And I have not been a person who has been very successful at conventional relationships, but loving well and loving deeply has been the most important thing to me.”’
Happy birthday, Vincent Price. You were a gem of an actor, and an even greater human being.
Now this is super fucking late because this was made when the headcanon of Matt being part of the group and Keith looking the same in the past was still going around.
This is a big owe to @ihonestlyjustgiveup and it’s a sort of spiritual part 1 to another project I’m working on that is going to be an annivesary present.
I forgot to finish this story, anyways I have food alarms set throughout the day to remind me to eat. My alarm is the exact same as my ringtone, so when my mom called me earlier instead of answering my mom I went to the kitchen and made myself a sandwich.
So i went on a date to a haunted house and made friends with the girls behind us. As we’re going through, one of them is holding my hand and a guy leaps out and separates us. I panic as my date is pulling me along, I reach back for her and grab her hand in a group of three other performers and start getting out if there. After a bit I look back to check on her and I discover I’m holding the hand of a six foot tall zombie creature and not a 5’2" girl.
Cue the most terrifying realization of my life.
I had basically kidnapped this performer from his section and abandoned the girl and her friend behind us.
Yes, I screamed. My date thought it was Hilarious.
Yes, we found the girls. Turns out when I grabbed the performers hand, he grabbed theirs so our group wouldn’t be separated. So there was just this zombie in the middle of our group line for like fifty feet
I absolutely cannot stop thinking about whether Fallout 76 should have dogs or not… because look… every game could be improved by adding dogs but also if BongLord420 kills my dog we’re absolutely going to have a John Wick situation on our hands, except Keanu didn’t have the nuclear launch codes.
Hi, we’re Amber and Shelby Cragg, the married writer-artist team behind NEOKOSMOS!
NEOKOSMOS is the story of human children who are being raised on a space station as part of an alien experiment after an extinction event that ended all life on the planet Earth. Only allowed to speak to each other via text and screens, and only given access to human culture from an archive of Wikipedia, the kids deal with loneliness, fraught teenage feelings, and the challenges of being raised by a race of cold and calculating lizard aliens with unclear motives. If this weren’t enough, their entire world is flipped upside down when the space station is attacked by a band of menacing space pirates.
Our final goal for the NEOKOSMOS series is to create a trilogy of science fiction novels for a young adult audience! Right now, Shelby is working full-time on the novels while Amber works as a character designer on Steven Universe. We would really appreciate your support as we finish up the manuscript and start the process of illustrating the first book!
Here’s our CURRENT PROGRESS on Book 1!
