Hello and welcome to my blog! I write fic which can be found here and here!

You might know me from my WIP Nora verse, which can be found here, and a masterpost can be found here.

Please don’t be upset if I don’t respond to any asks or tags right away, I get easily distracted and prefer to do those things from my laptop and not my phone.

If you're following me for 911 just know that the bulk of my 911/Lone Star reblogs are over on my sideblog, @buckleyskinards bc this blog would become overrun and I would never be able to find anything.

are we going to start acknowledging that cancel culture does not work on oppressors and has thus created a system of impossible morality which makes people stagnant and fearful instead of empathetic and productive members of society. and those under the most scrutiny for moral purity are most often the victims of the so called cancelable offense

they used to make smackable technology. you used to be able to hit your tv when it didn't work good.

when I was a kid I had an old tv in my room that would always turn to unwatchable static in the middle of shows but one night my sister and I were watching Naruto & every time Kakashi was on-screen the static cleared so we were like “hahaha the tv looooves Kakashi.”

I had a Kakashi bookmark so we held it up against the screen as a joke but the static actually cleared up. Mystified, we tried different bookmarks and objects with the same plastic material but nothing else worked, only the Kakashi bookmark.

We ended up taping it to the corner of the screen and it stayed there for 11 years until we moved out. When I was older people would be like “can you move the bookmark off the screen” bc it did sort of block a bit of the view but I would demonstrate the static issue and everyone was always just like “huh. what the hell?? well…alright.”

No explanation, but thanks Kakashi.

I had a similar tv! It was a tv with a built in dvd and vcr because it was in college and I’m apparently old now. But! The dvd player never wanted to play- unless it was Chicago (2002). First, we would put that dvd in, let it start, and then swap it for the movie we really wanted to watch. It got to the point where we would put in the dvd we wanted and sing “he had it coming!!!” At the screen at volume. Fucking worked *every time*

Bizarre.

I miss when technology had real personality, instead of fake ones designed to generate lies and nonsense and spy on you.

Interview with the Vampire // Caitlyn Siehl, What We Buried; from “A letter To Love”

I’m queer. And to anyone who takes pity or offense, I say, “judge yourself.” This is who I am.

Louis: "Let the tale seduce you, just as I was seduced"

Louis tells us a story for the first two seasons, and it IS a tale of seduction. It's about his romantic partners (Lestat, Armand) but it's also about HIS identity. Louis becomes comfortable with his identity as a vampire: "the dark gift" and the seasons close with him seeing vampirism as a gift rather than a curse.

Louis is turned out of love. Lestat loves him, and when he turns him into a vampire, he asks if this is what he wants. Lestat repeats Louis HAS to nod/say yes.

By contrast, Lestat is not turned into a vampire out of love. (book spoilers) he's turned out of force, and he resists until the end. And our introduction into his world is similarly chaotic.

The tale is not to seduce us. The narration skips around, it deflects, it plays with disgust and violence, and it's in your face. I think this is going to be a story where instead of seducing the viewer, the viewer is degraded/toyed with/appalled.
