Analyzing IWTV and coming to the conclusion that Lestat is telling you the truth is like losing at chess to a pigeon and being convinced you're losing at chess to a dog.

I do think polyamory could save Inej/Kaz/Jesper but they all have to really extensively unpack their various issues first before it can be done

[tlirsgender]

A heist crew is a type of polycule they just don't know it yet

[tlirsgender]

How are we feeling about polycrows

It would fix them

It would make them worse

Somehow both

Other infinitely nuanced answer

I don't go here

Some thoughts re: polycrows fixing them and making them worse

Kaz got the fear-horny wires crossed where on some level he really really really wants to be pressed between multiple people's bodies, despite this also making him throw up

Kaz will accidentally call Jesper his dead brother's name again, and promptly throw up

Inej is a lesbian (Kaz is bi but he's mad about being attracted to men so he says he's a lesbian) but Jesper is so pretty and has such a Something going on with them that they're both kind of going "hmm"

Kanej are kanejing. You know them. Kazper also self explanatory. Boy best friends. Closing the triangle feels trickier Inej and Jesper are so platonic but I do believe they could look at each other a little too long in the right lighting and go "hmm"

I think all three of them could be kissing each other but like mostly with alcohol involved

However ☝️ sometimes this is a gateway to "talking about your feelings". Unless you don't

This sounds bad. Listen. If they talk to each other all things are possible. Give it like a few years post-canon they're adults and they're processing things. Life could be dream

I don't know where Wylan is

[tlirsgender]

Also Jesper is of course the least sexually repressed here but given the (gestures broadly) I do think he'd feel like kind of an evil pervert and not press the issue while the other two are working on "expressing desires". He's been a little bit in love with Kaz this whole time. Inej and Jesper are talking about how they're both in love with Kaz and Kaz is the way that he is & Jesper's like "yuo can touch me. Why did I say that"

[tlirsgender]

Inej laughs it off but now she's thinking about it too hard. Jesper flirts with everyone this could mean nothing. Unless ?

(goverment voice) we need to protect the children from pornography so our plan is to remove their eyes so they would never see something so traumatic. if you are against removing children's eyes you are basically a pedophile

& honestly there's no debate to be had the zendaya earrings are orders of magnitude worse than kim kardashian wearing that marilyn dress. yes that piece was a one of a kind unique textile made so specifically for marilyn monroe she had to be sewn into it. at the end of the day it was a ~70 year old usamerican cultural artefact being repurposed by an american for an american cultural event and everyone involved knows exactly where the dress came from + what happened to it + where it went afterwards. zendaya is wearing the looted (or forged) cultural heritage of a people her government is currently bombing & whose lives they have been deliberately making unliveable for decades to a movie premiere that has fuck all to do with iran. we don't know where those discs came from where they were found or by whom & we never will. AND the jeweller appears to have altered them substantially from their original condition. destroying a people's cultural heritage at the same time you destroy their country + their lives so you can look good on a red carpet One Time i want to fucking hurl

Zendaya’s The Odyssey premiere earrings spark ethics row

The earrings, worn by Zendaya at The Odyssey press tour, are believed to be 2,000-3,000 years old and come at a time when the US is bombing

An archaeologist quoted in the article says "the point of these earrings is not to showcase legitimate ancient artistry, it is to fetishize the past, to be a commodity, stolen from the elite, circulated illegally, and immorally…this is about class signalling."

[maifai]

Another quote from the article:

[ID. An additional quote from the article that says, “The practice of taking jewellery and other artefacts, especially those associated with the royal courts of great empires of the past, the Mughals, the Safavids, and others, and then allowing actors and celebrities to adorn them sends a clear message: not only will we not return what we took from you, because we consider ourselves more worthy custodians, but we also continue to occupy the symbolic position of monarchs and rulers over the lands from which these artefacts were removed,” he explained.

I think so much about the food people ate pre-Columbian exchange. Huge parts of cuisine extremely important on both sides of the pond just didn't exist.

You've probably heard a little about what was brought over from the New World, corn, potatoes, cocoa, cassava, peanuts, chili peppers, avocadoes, cranberries, pumpkins, and the like. Imagine cooking without chili! Without potatoes! Modern Indian cuisine contains enormous amounts of potatoes and we just didn't have those for the vast majority of history. The best of the nightshades all on one contiguous hunk of land. Hell, tomatoes! Almost forgot about those.

But we don't often look at what the Old World had. Wheat! Barley! Rice! A profusion of incredible grains, really, the finest poaceae has to offer. Carrots! Tons of rosaceous plants like apples and cherries and pears and peaches and apricots! Grapes! Soy and Bamboo! Okra and watermelon! All these things were simply never found in the Americas. The grains one is the wildest for me, the variety of grains available across Eurasia and Africa was truly astounding.

You know what binds together the food of all cultures across the world? Onions. Onions are fucking everywhere. There's probably onions growing near you right now. Allium Gang Unite.

"you were always such a good kid! we never had to worry about you :)" thanks! you actually should've, though. like about this specifically

me as a teenager: man it sucks to have no privacy or autonomy but i guess its for a good reason. when i turn 18 i will realise how young i was and understand why they did all that.

me as an adult: teenagers are an oppressed class, their abuse is normalised and systemic and they need to start killing people

in a way john watson is a fantasy (what if you had this brilliant enigmatic friend and what if he liked you in particular and what if he offered you the excitement of youth and adventures and a way out of boring society life and all without having to actually give up your status as a gentleman so you could have the best of both worlds) and in a way sherlock holmes is a fantasy (what if someone never got tired of you despite your various strange habits and mood swings and instead of simply tolerating you they genuinely liked you and what if you didn’t have to live alone forever and what if you never had to give up doing the things you love) and of course there’s the most fantastical part of it all (what if you could afford london housing prices)

let him be evillllll

[homoquartz]

if you spoke to lestat or louis about your pain, they would say, "your pain? what about MY pain?" but if you spoke about your pain to armand he would say "let me lobotomize you and you will never feel pain again." he has a solution-based mindset and we could all learn from him.
