Jewel Staite
All right, people! Who the hell IS this Jewel person? Surely not the singer.

I look more rad than Lutheranism

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
The most luminous, refreshing, lovely, talented, down-to-earth, real-female, sexy creature ever to be on... oh yeah, on Firefly. Sorry about that.

Since nobody likes Inara, and I know who Gina Torres is, I assume Jewel was the mechanic whose name I can't remember?

Aha. I have very little Firefly knowledge.
I tried, people. I really, really tried.

Yep.
As opposed to Summer, who played the lovely and woobiefiriffic Crazy!Brunette!Girl, River.
(As well as the ballerina in that episode with the seriously gross Cordy/Angel action. Eww.)

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I tried, people. I really, really tried.
Zero credit for effort.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
I know my comic book in my head (about vampirism being a rare, sexually-transmitted blood disease)
David, what was that movie that was kind of like this?

Are you talking about Near Dark? It certainly played with blood tainting what with the transfusions and all, but I don't think it was that explicitly stated.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand
In Blade the lady doctor actually refered to vampirism as a sexually-transmitted disease. (Underscoring what I perceived to be a less than idyllic slashy undertone to Deacon Frost's relationship with the Udo Kier character.) Was that what you're thinking of?
(I still chortle at the Blade II writer's attempt to explain vampirism away as the effects of a parvovirus on the human system. Yeah, a virus that apparently causes its hosts to disintegrate into burning embers upon contact with sunlight or upon having silver rammed through the heart. Suuuuure, sounds like the effects of a viral infection to me.)
