Neptune and Uranus: Anatomy of a relationship, pt. 1–Introduction

credit: Google I have always been a huge anime and manga fan, so it’s not surprising that I’d be a fan of one of the conerstones of anime in America, Sailor Moon. I’ll be honest and say that I haven’t been a good Sailor Moon fan because I have yet to read the manga,...

COMING SOON–Neptune and Uranus: Anatomy of a relationship series

credit: Google I’ve recently been doing a few posts on Sherlock Holmes and John Watson’s crazy-ambiguous relationship called “Sherlock: Anatomy of a relationship” (some more posts are coming soon!). I’ve been thinking how unfair it is that I highlight mostly gay male relationships, so in order to act as a counterweight, I’m going to...

Sherlock: Anatomy of a relationship, pt. 2–Changing times and social mores *or* What the heck is friendship!?

credit: BBC Friendship takes many forms, that is true. But it’s necessary to have a big understanding of types of friendships in the 1800s and our types of friendships today to really understand Sherlock Holmes. I was trying to get this point across in my first post about John and Sherlock’s friendship/more-than-friendship, but it...

Sherlock: Anatomy of a relationship, pt. 1

credit: BBC Just a note–I feel that there will be more Sherlock posts in the near future–I am just that enamored with this show. First, let me start this post off with an apology. I’m adding my two cents to an already long–and sometimes exhausting and occasionally pointless–discussion, mostly because this argument has been...

Friday’s Archie: Jughead, the Lady Killer

Technically, this was published at 2:00 Saturday morning, but whatever. I get why Archie Comics went through a period of being obsessed with the idea of Jughead suddenly becoming a willing chick-magnet (I say “willing” because due to his stance against never dating, it comes off as being hard-to-get, and girls like challenges). This...

Geek and Nerd Show: The LGBT community in entertainment, according to Moniqueblog

Here at Moniqueblog, I try to exhibit behavior proper in a straight ally to the LGBT community, and that includes providing posts that highlight that community. Like I said, I’m a straight woman, so my point of view is going to be naturally limited, even with all the research I do. However, I have...
