Ormund Hightower's face resembles Lestat's, especially when he's being a cunt.

What are you going to do if IWTV/TVL gets cancelled?

Uhhhhhhh, currently with it being my sort of emotional crutch as I go through a difficult period in my mental health, I don’t really want to think about what I might do if this show gets cancelled due to the spam reviews that started after this recent episode.

I really do think this season could have been better, I do. But honestly, I love it. I think it’s stupid and funny and I love watching these actors just fucking act their asses off man.

And I want for there to be an adaptation of The Vampire Armand with Assad as Armand so bad, I want Eric and Luke and Assad to show us the Devils Minion chapter more than anything right now, I want to continue to see Jacob and Sam as Louis and Lestat yelling at each other and then making out, I want to see Delainey torment Louis as Ghost Claudia.

I just really don’t want to let go of this adaptation of these characters yet and I think I speak for a lot of people when I say that.

[franniesbridgerton]

This is a century-long lie. You hung her portrait over our coffins in New Orleans. It's sick. You're sick.

We're unnatural beings! And this-- this is the half-human soul that you conveniently whip out whenever you want to win an argument!

What argument you got for fucking your mother? It's sickness. Maybe the source of all your sickness. But my god! Seek a professional!

roan>>>>>

[abortionsommelier]

Can a similar color show up in cats or is that impossible?

[muttsandmustelidae]

would love for someone who understands cat coat genetics to chime in with more info, but from a quick google search all i’m seeing is that a few cats in Finland have popped up with a roan-like coat pattern?

^ like this stunning guy here

[triangle-dog]

They found the mutation that causes the salmiak pattern shown above, it's a deletion downstream of the KIT gene (KIT controls several other, but not all, of the other white cat markings). It's a recessive mutation, Photo c in the figure below shows a normal patterned carrier next to his salmiak patterned brother. The carriers may have some white on their coat, but it's unclear if it is due to the single salmiak allele or another cause.

So yeah, it's possible. I'm not aware of any breeding projects for it though.

"FIGURE 1 ... (a) Salmiak solid black cat (aa/wsalwsal), (b) salmiak solid blue cat (diluted black, aa/dd/wsalwsal), (c) salmiak brown mackerel tabby (wsalwsal) (right) and his normal-colored brother heterozygous for salmiak (wsalw), (d) salmiak phenotype on a long-haired solid black cat (not genotyped), (e) salmiak solid black cat (aa/wsalwsal) and (f) salmiak phenotype on a tortoiseshell cat (not genotyped). Cat a was sequenced, and cats b, c and e were genotyped for salmiak. Photo credits: (a) Ari Kankainen and (b–e) courtesy of the cat owners."

At a time when Netflix is getting roundly criticized for forcing its shows to treat the audience like we have all of two brain cells to rub together, The Vampire Lestat is out here volleying everything from 70s gay references to 1700s Dutch Republic references at the speed of light while saying, "You don't get it? Well, that's a fucking you problem."

And I love that for us.

[westworldgiftshop]

Fun fact about the latest episode of TVL is that if an artist blows up after tickets have been sold, they will more than likely upgrade them to bigger venues to maximize ticket sales. That means midtour Lestat got famous enough to warrant an assassination attempt but not enough to sell more tickets 💀

the only way to get those annoying repressed vampires to talk about their trauma and try to grow as a person is to put them all against each other in a trauma Olympics i fear
