I can be a little witchy from time to time. I believe in a bit of mysticism.

Anyway, I can’t get behind the idea of hexing people though. I’ve seen all these videos about hexing fascists or politicians or whatever and I simply can’t get over it. When you hex someone you are relinquishing so much thought power and intention to them. I think the best thing is turn that anger outward instead of inward.

Maybe a spell to clear your mind, breathing out the evil and pain. Maybe casting a spell for good to come instead of bad.

I don’t know I just feel like giving them the space and attention of a curse and hex just gives them power. It’s better to ignore and wish for good.

the writers did so fucking well at portraying and deconstructing the over abundant amount that lestat in the text romanticizes his abusers. he calls it the "seduction of magnus" multiple times throughout the vampire chronicles instead of admitting he was preyed upon. when you read the books you have to look between the lines of his flowery prose and avoidance but the show took a corny over the top music video style approach and then slammed it next to a full blown ptsd flashback to make sure the audience did not have a chance to misinterpret or mock anything and i respect them for that

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 03.07 | "The Failures"

[queenoftheimps]

Lestat going through the extremely relatable situation where no one trains you for your new job and then you get in trouble for not knowing how to do the job

[hatcherrys]

“they are overdoing the incest it’s so unnecessary” nope they’re just taking us through lestat realizing he is being abused and being unable to stop it!

ep 1: feeling lonely, he seeks her out all ep as he literally spirals bc of drugs.

ep 2: speaks of her fondly, doesn’t really address how abusive she was as a human. gabi in present day crosses his boundaries and he blames it on both of them.

ep 3: lestat recalls how cruel she was in the past with nicki, and she punishes him for setting the no sex boundary by fucking jarda loudly to humiliate him. he becomes upset with her.

ep 4: she has left him again likely as a punishment for leaving her after the interview, triggering his abandonment issues (which she caused). he recalls more of her coldness and we see the first time he’s coerced into having sex with her to earn her love.

then we see him actually confront her about it when he says “why do you come back? why don’t you let me hate you?” (like he tried to the first time they had sex after he brought up that she touched him inappropriately when they were still human) and just like before, she just ignores his distress and he find he is still so powerless in their dynamic.

idk it’s not unnecessary when it shapes literally every part of lestat’s personality. ppl say they’re depicting it badly when this is one of the few shows i’ve seen depict incest as what it is: abuse. mfs out here watching house of the dragon where incest is like…. normalized… but a show actually taking you through a victim understanding he was abused is too much?

maybe this aint the show for you idk idk

[fandanglefrogfarts]

Unfair of my job to expect me to show up when I have arts and also crafts to do

Dean and Cas taking a shower together in the communal shower room at the bunker but really they're just hanging out

[shallowseeker]

#They had started a conversation on the way to the bathroom#And dean said it was weird for cas to be in there if he wasn’t showering#So Cas got undressed and into a shower so the conversation could continue via @destielrotsmybrain

Exactly! And Dean just went with it, and now it's a routine.

///

You'd think Jack would follow them in there since they're obv just chatting and there are a BILLION stalls he could use it's COMMUNAL

but he does NOT

[shallowseeker]

#jack will happily go in there if ONE of them is alone in their stall#but something in his little brain stops him otherwise#sam one day: where are they#jack: they're taking a shower#sam: go tell them (x) case details#jack: no <3#sam: why not???

So sam's ofc like - FINE then -EYE- will go tell them the important and super pressing plot details

So he goes in there and he's like "Hey guys, get this,"

and they both poke their sudsy heads out and Sam is like WAIT ❗❗❗ ARE YOU GUYS IN THERE NAKED ❗❗❗

To which Dean is like, "Duh."

Cas: "Do you bathe with YOUR clothes on, Sam?"

And Sam is like "NO but you're in there..." (together) "...naked"

And Dean is like "Bodies are a beautiful, natural things, Sammy."

I miss the original 7 season plan for Hannibal like a cadaver misses God

Hauntingly beautifully said

louis' narration: it was dusk. the smell of petrichor still lingered in the air, greeting me as i woke and pondered my new existence as a vampire, a creature of the night. as the sun set and gave way to new darkness, so too had something awakened in me, a bloodlust that could not be sated. was i now man or monster? or something in between, a perversion of even the natural order in which all other beings reside?

lestat's narration: yeah so i drained someone at my concert and almost overdosed on LSD and MDMA but that's just another tuesday amirite? so i fucked her in the elevator and killed a bunch of vampires with daniel (ugh, i hate him though what a loser 🙄) i wish louis still loved me

so grace is probably alarming to most eridians at first because he's a lanky wet alien with too few limbs, yes--but what if he ends up being terrifying in a sort of divine way instead of a repulsive one?

like. a creature that perceives the intangible? a creature that walks with thin permeable membranes bared to the air, whose blood contains elixir that can destroy pathogens without heat? a creature that is impossibly fragile yet resilient? a creature that breathes potently flammable gas to survive? a creature that is loud all over and speaks in a strange and frightening monotone, who thought it would die for you? who gave up its home in the heavens for you without meeting you first, whose first words to your people were probably something along the lines of We saved your star. It's gonna be okay. Don't be afraid.

[chekhovs-raygun]

grace is such an interesting bundle of contradictions! he breathes an incredibly flammable gas because he lives at such a cold temperature the gas can't ignite except he burns it very slowly inside the delicate gauzy cage of his body. his meat is basically a delicate water-and-protein foam because he lives in a very tiny fraction of normal atmospheric pressure. his planet has almost no air, no atmosphere. they're so gauzy, so frail, living underneath a whisker-fine sky, that to get to space in a couple seconds by exploding towards it. they can't build a space elevator because all their materials are just various attempts to do anything whatsoever with shitty frozen metals and various hydrocarbon meshes. their spaceship is a tiny refrigerator, the most expensive thing they ever built, and controled by a impossibly complex calculation engine they knitted out of silicates. it contains all human knowledge, if it doesn't catch on fire.

they knew that space was there because they can perceive it directly. it's literally right overhead all the time for their entire evolution. they know the faces of thousands, millions of stars, as soon as they tip their faces up. eridani is a name from two thousand years ago. all their stars have been named and known and watched and sung about for longer than any individual human civilization. they have always known the eridian star was there.

they live to be seventy.

iwtv continues to be so smart in its portrayal of memories and trauma, the way lestat’s memories of his family are so obnoxiously loud, everyone’s screaming all the time for no reason and everyone’s acting like caricatures, like an actual assault on the senses, as if lestat’s mind is filled with unbearable noise every time he thinks about them. lestat’s memories coming at him all fragmented and loud and violent, attacking him and beating him into submission as he desperately tries to escape them is such an interesting contrast to how louis would carefully weave a thread of his past pretending the glaring holes in it weren’t there

[byedisaster]

I trust Daniel Molloy (as an interviewer)! If he's repeatedly asking Lestat if he was a stutterer as a child, Daniel is onto something.

And everything else is a type of distraction that Lestat WANTS us to be distracted by.

In previous seasons, Danny Molloy talks about how Louis uses third person "him" or "one" when he's trying to distance himself from his actions. Danny is good at catching this stuff!

Lestat is a master of DISTRACTION. Look at the visual difference in the third season (a naked woman showering in the background of a shot, switching from documentary style to colour, time skips, so much modern slang it's almost hard to understand).

Danny repeatedly throughout the episode asks Lestat if he was a stutterer as a kid. (the repetition also kind of mimicking the act of stuttering). He's hammering him. Don't get distracted! Stay on point (both Danny and us, the viewer)!

And what happens at the end of the episode? Lestat stutters as he sees his mother; and it looks like we're going to start delving into his childhood. That's where the pain is. That's where the story is.

Thank you Daniel Molloy.

A loustat edit for all you

[tuherrus]

felt compelled to doodle a significant forehead press ™

[allyouneedisteaandlove]

the layers to louis leaving out the scars cause they never really mattered to him one way or another vs lestat being hung up on the fact that they were omitted cause they're integral to his true sense of self !!! insane work all around
