TVL EP. 2 Thoughts (spoilers)

The writers are making it very clear that Lestat DOES NOT want to have sex with his mother.

I also find the disdain for how Gabrielle/a is portrayed in the show by book fans to be quite interesting. Abusive action has always carried heavy weight in this show. Like did yall really think they were going to have a lukewarm take on the incest???

DEVIL'S MINION NATION NEVER LOSES!

My favorite thing about Louis is that he is messy...and most of the time he's doing it for the love of the game

I really hope we get to see one of the Claudia scenario's Louis described play out (from the trailer I think we will).

Also, Lestat really does not fuck with Larry and I find that sooo funny.

Real Rashid I missed you sweet baby.

Unfortunately, Louis does have an accountability problem and at the moment he finds it easier to blame Daniel and the Talamasca for his falling out with Lestat rather than him airing out all his dirty laundry to an award winning journalist. (that's still my pookie tho)

I forgot what it’s like to watch a show live within fandom. First episode and yall are already pissing me off. Like some of you guys literally have zero comprehension of what is playing out in front of you and that’s no shade but… 🤷🏾‍♀️

[darealbobbyhill]

I think the writers have made it obvious in the first episode how they feel about Lestat's relationship with his mother.

[darealbobbyhill]

They really have done it again 🙂‍↕️ I'm obsessed with every single character

[darealbobbyhill]

Me @ everyone who got to go to the vampire lestat premiere

[darealbobbyhill]

Unpopular opinion: Todd is right about every lashing he is giving Weatherfield PD. They managed to charge Summer in a day but couldn’t get Theo put on remand after he beat Todd’s face in. The justice system failed to protect him from the man who methodically broke him down over months through physical, sexual, financial, emotional, and verbal abuse. And they didn’t even manage to figure out that his phone was stolen???

[darealbobbyhill]

Do you know how bad it is when Carl is the least annoying person in the episode??? Like every man on Coronation Street (bar Todd and James) deserves to rot.

[darealbobbyhill]

James is back 😌

[darealbobbyhill]

They're all so awkward...bless em

[darealbobbyhill]

Todd is the only one acting with some fucking sense on this show. Why has everyone else decided to be a filthy liar and a snitch and let an innocent person go down for the murder of an abuser. Especially fucking Tyrone!

[darealbobbyhill]

I swear all of Todd’s family have a singular brain cell between them. Like who cares if summer did or didn’t do it but George ratting on her to Lisa is not going to be good for Todd which is what they should be focused on in the first place!

[darealbobbyhill]

The teaser using Ravel's Bolero... I prayed for times like this 🙏🏾

[darealbobbyhill]

Damn I would be obsessed with Lisa Swain if she wasn’t a cop 😕

[darealbobbyhill]

Unpopular opinion but Dr. Todd is funny to me. Obviously I don’t condone bullying but I do enjoy a bitch who’s just gay and evil for no reason

*in invisible ink** also she’s a milf 🤫

[darealbobbyhill]

The thing about the who killed Theo storyline is... I don't care who killed Theo. I think we should be celebrating whoever did it. Give them an award!

[darealbobbyhill]

I’m gonna need Theo to be murdered. I truly don’t think jail is enough he needs to DIE

i genuinely think ocd is incredibly underdiagnosed bc i will see people posting what are obvious rituals, compulsions, intrusive thoughts, spiralling, hyper morality, etc and its like Have You Considered This Might Be An Issue

[silenthillmutual]

it isnt actually good or normal to have moral dilemmas every day about which posts you reblog. it isn't actually good or normal to check and recheck every message you send "just in case" you sent porn instead of a 'hi how are you'. it isn't actually good or normal to believe that your day will only go well if you have a specific keychain or whatever with you. like i'm not going to diagnose you but i do think some of you need to look into obsessive-compulsive disorder beyond "ha ha funny man wash his hands" portrayals.

I wish more people knew that compulsions and rituals can be entirely mental (this is sometimes called Pure O, but it’s a bit of a misnomer because people who primarily have mental obsessions often have compulsive ways of responding to them in their head or outside). OCD can be absolutely ruling your life and the outward signs of it might be limited to the emotional distress that comes with having it untreated.

These are some common mental compulsions:

Compulsive prayer: While prayer is important to many people’s faith, it can also become compulsive. They may pray over and over again, try to pray “perfectly,” or restart a prayer if they get distracted. [Note: I have also seen people do this with secular things related to values they hold dear which are structured similarly to prayers in some manner]

Counting: You might count anything in order to feel “just right” or drown out an obsession—steps, ceiling tiles, beats in a song—either out loud or in your head.

Emotional checking: Compulsive checking doesn’t have to be physical. Emotional checking involves analyzing your emotions to make sure you’re having the “right” feelings.

Memory hoarding: You might try to hang on to memories, thoughts, and experiences with perfect accuracy because you feel they’ll be crucial in the future.

Mental reviewing: This could involve replaying a conversation you just had over and over again, or compulsively reviewing an event that happened years ago.

Rumination: Often referred to as “overthinking,” rumination involves compulsively analyzing or trying to solve a perceived problem. It can be especially tough to identify, and can last for weeks at a time.

Self-reassurance: Reassurance doesn’t always have to come from the outside. You might try to relieve your distress by reassuring yourself that your fears aren’t true, rather than asking others.

Thought suppression: You might try to “drown out” an uncomfortable intrusive thought or distract yourself with something else.
