the stained glass eyes. lestat gives them both the stained glass eyes in his memories of them.

the first and the last, his oldest mother and his youngest daughter, and they have the same stained glass eyes when he thinks of them.

(and he is his mother Gabriella's mirror too. Every mother in every daughter and Lestat the fulcrum in between, I am she and she is me, I am the girl I am the god, I see why you gave him a daughter and then took her back, why is her tongue cut out, I'm burning in your mirror tonight, I-I-I-I am the answer!)

Also the group of children dressed as the vampires is so fucking stellar and macabre — this story is not for children, how are these kids getting access to it enough to want to play these characters for Halloween costumes?

Like, it's not like these are even 14 year old kids (14 year olds reading developmentally inappropriate memoir fiction about toxic vampire romance is basically a rite of passage), these are kids in the prime of their trick-or-treating years, so how the hell do they know who any of these people are?

So good what the show is implying about cycles of violence and abuse and the moral ambivalence toward children and toward human life more generally. I'm so looking forward to where this goes.

Shooting my shot now: I'm calling it that Lestat's body double is a Chekhov's gun, at some point that man is gonna die horribly and people are gonna think that his body is Lestat, and that's why everyone in the framing device scene seems to be acting like Lestat is dead

If you see this post you’re legally required to tell me at least one trans woman headcanons you have for a canonically male character, I never get to see transfem headcanons like that, give me them, and for equality of my own please know estrogen could have saved Insector Haga and Dinosaur Ryuzaki I will not elaborate, also Yuya.

forgot how white this website is and expected there to be more uproar about the US bombing my home country, nigeria, on christmas day. my mistake!

[endykelopaedia]

Sokoto state, a majority Muslim state in north-west Nigeria was bombed on Christmas day. It is still unclear how many bombs were dropped and where. Confirmed is a bomb dropped on a Mosque in Jabo, killing 5 people.

Trump has claimed that this is in retaliation of the "Christian genocide" happening in Nigeria, committed by "radical Islamists" of the ISIL (ISIS), and the specific choosing of Christmas day was to reify that this is a religious based retaliation.

This Christmas, I am in Nigeria. My family is majority Christian. We are without fear of being persecuted on the basis of our religion. So, what is going on?

There is no Christian genocide in Nigeria. Nigeria is a complex country that faces a lot of violence, exploitation and subsequent neglect from our government. But it is not Christians being targeted in our country. This insidious piece of misinformation has been dutifully organised by US officials for months and gained steam on platforms like X and Truth Social.

I do not believe though, that this action was done to fight Islamic terrorists or protect Nigerian Christians. The reason being:

Sokoto state is not a state with ISIL activity.

This is another display of US throwing its weight around, conveniently, onto the most oil-rich country in Africa.

Do not believe everything the US tells you about its foreign affairs. The US will gladly spill blood on the flimsiest of justifications just to continue gorging its empire.

Please keep love in your hearts for the Nigerian people.

Question for the folks who've actually read the most recent X-Factor run (2024-2025, Russell/Quinn run):

As of the end of the book, would you classify Alex and Lorna as a couple right now?

Yes, they're solidly together.

Yes, but it's unhealthy/precarious in some way.

Yes, but I want them to break up/divorce with tongue.

It's unclear where they stand with each other.

No, they're not together.

No, they're not together (and it's Alex's fault).

I need to know before I read the book if I'm going to have a good time or not, and Alex and Lorna's wiki articles give me nothing to work with.

ok repeat after me: gluten free is not "diet culture". gluten free is not meant to "take the joy away from carbs". gluten free is a diet that allows people with an autoimmune disease to eat without inflicting further damage upon their bodies. we don't have to be condemned to eat the most disgusting and basic shit ever because we have celiacs. we deserve options too.
