obsessed with this letterboxd review for CHALLENGERS (2024) by rocky/WAYSTIAR
I always need to do this kind of messy sketches to familiarize myself with new characters (the word dump is especially important!)
you can see how much fun i had doodling these lmao
Jungkook: Hyung, will the next one be posted tomorrow?
Rapmonster:Yeah most probably.
*Next day*
Bighit:Oh let's not wait too long lets surprise them.
*after uproar of second picture*
Bighit: let's do it again *evil smile*
This art by @Doodlemunster is just gorgeous. Doesn't she look like one of the Muses here? Actual goddess, I am telling you. From the moment we saw Miss thang on the screen, she has not been coded as human.
Siren? Of course
The first time we see Pearline, she is standing at the station, admiring the way Sammie's gift lures people in. His voice is something else; no wonder folk can't resist. As a siren, it's usually the other way around. She sings and men are at her mercy. I think this is why her gaze looks so curious. Pearline clocks his shit immediately. She can see something supernatural within this boy. Not to mention, the sinful nature of their interaction. She is the ultimate temptation for Preacher Boy. A married woman who adores him and his guitar? A blues singer that knows her way around a shotgun? A harlot who spends her nights entertaining fellow sinners? Jedediah would have a heart attack.
Werewolf? Absolutely
Why else do we learn nothing about her personal life? Her job? Her husband? She only really interacts with Sammie over the course of the night. That Juke Joint was packed with Black folk who've spent their whole lives in Clarksdale, Mississipi. Why doesn't anyone recognise her? As a lycanthrope, it is safer for Pearline to live on the edge of society.
Vampire? Eventually
Her last words before she turns are 'Sammie, run'. Does that sound like a woman who is happy in her married? Who longs to see her husband again? Scratch that, does that sound like a mortal? When Annie gets turned she refuses to live as anything but a human being. Her disgust was plainly stated, and thankfully Elijah respected that.
Pearline, on the other hand, accepts what is coming!! There is nothing to run from because she is already a creature of the night. From where I'm standing, Pearline is a werewolf in her mid to late 20s. She has experienced gruesome transformations before and with the full moon outside, she knows how ugly things could get. Her final warning to Sammie is a profound act of love and confirmation of her familiarity with the supernatural.

*after all the ruckus Jimin calls hoseok for help*
Hoseok: Faints when arrives because of alcoholic fumes and very low tolerance.
*calls other Hyungs for help"
Yoongi: Doesn't pick up the phone.
Namjoon: Which dim witted idiot gave Tae alcohol?!
Jin: Screams at them like an ahjussi but finally brings Namjoon and Yoongi to help them back home.
*after reaching home without managers knowing*
maknae line: Still pretty drunk and tipsy.
Yoongi: Gives death glare -_- "If any of you little shits do this thing again, I'll burn you alive."
maknae line: Instantly sober.
Taehyung: Yoongi Hyung, let's hold hands?
