About me

fj | 1986 | ftm trans | pronouns he/they | german | married | eng/ger language | tiktok | youtube | ao3 | cosplay ₊˚⊹♡

Current hyperfocus: Interview with the Vampire. background: I read the books 20 years ago but didn't watch the AMC series until July 14th 2024, ha! Now deeply entrenched. Devil's Minion is the jam. Fandoms: The Vampire Chronicles, Dracula, Tanz der Vampire, the Terror, Jonathan Strange and Mr Norrell, Aubreyad, Age of Sail, Will on TNT, Regency and early Victorian stories in general, Gothic romance, Byron and the Shelleys, the Hapsburg dynasty, Velvet Goldmine, Cabaret, the Talented Mr Ripley, Sherlock, Berlin Station, Alien Prometheus and Covenant, Star Trek, and anything else I enjoy. A Discovery of Witches, Taboo, Hannibal and Midnight Mass are shows I've watched but I'm not yet into wholeheartedly as a fandom.

Generally: Nordic larp, cosplay, music, history, period costume, magick, folklore, horror and unexplained mysteries.

YES to kink, multishipping, crossovers and infinite universes. If it's dark, historical or realistic low fantasy, I'm probably into it. If all that resonates, feel free to DM me if you like! ₊˚⊹♡

Discourse

Don't @ me. This blog isn't "apologist" for any character. Problematic behaviour drives plot and makes stories interesting. Horror doesn't do well if reduced to right and wrong. Actions I find entertaining in fictional characters would disgust me irl. Fiction exists to explore depravity in a safe way that isn't real. You are forgiven for enjoying problematic fiction. My sensitivities are European. Nudity is normal. While I don't fill this blog with explicit themes of blood, violence, sex and other ethical conundrums, I'm not squeamish if any of it does happen to come up.

Terfs, christofascists, Americans with no outside POV, minors & chronically online sjw DNI. I've no interest in embarking on a purity debate odyssey with people half my age.

Sideblogs

On the other hand if blood, horror and sex is what you're into follow my sideblog @coralbonesandpearlsforeyes for darker themes (and a LOT of IWTV brainrot.)

@bahamas-dramas is Black Sails, Age of Sail and pirates only, but I'm not extremely active in updating it at the moment.

I also have a new kink blog which... well. If you're a minor or very sensitive, don't go to people's private kink blogs. If you're curious, it's @wholedamnboulangerie.

Thank you for reading! Have fun!

Can’t believe we got confirmation that Lestat canonically bottoms/is vers. I literally never fucking lose god bless you rolin jones godbless you Hannah Moscovitch also fuck you for breaking my heart into tiny pieces and stamping on them. I love you

[franknfauxpas]

We would've needed to see the wolf killer scene. I don't usually advocate in favour of action scenes, but we really did need that scene. I understand budget and concise storytelling and time constraints, but we needed to see at least a minute of intense blood bath and fighting wolves. Beauty and the Beast did it. Come on. It's so emotionally loaded for Lestat, you can't gloss over it like that. I like the series and will forgive a lot of the other choices (David!!) but all but omitting the wolfkiller bit... Nah.

This just pissed me off so baaaad 😂

[vulcandroid]

i will never be over the fact that during first contact a human offered their hand to a vulcan and the vulcan was just like “wow humans are fucking wild” and took it

[roachpatrol]

Humanity’s first contact with Vulcans was some guy going “I’m down to fuck.”

Vulcans’ first contact with Humans was an emphatic “Sure.”

[lilian-cho]

[star-lord]

#iiiiiiiiiiiiii mean vulcans had been watching humans for a long time#they knew the significance of a handshake but still#they had to find some fast and loose ambassador#willing to fuckin make out with a human for the sake of not offending them on first contact#lmao#star trek give me the story of this fast and loose vulcan

[moonsofavalon]

“sir…these…these humans…they greet each other by…” *glances around before furtively whispering* “by clasping hands…”

*prolonged silence* “oh my…”

“sir…sir how will we make first contact with them? surely we…we cannot refuse this handclasping ritual, they will take it as an insult, but what vulcan would agree to such a distasteful and uncomfortable ritual??”

*several pensive moments later* “contact the vulcan high command and tell them to send us kuvak. i once saw that crazy son of a bitch arm wrestle a klingon, he’ll put his hands on anything”

[evilminji]

Elsewhere, w/ kuvak: “….my day has come.”

[lierdumoa]

The vulcan who made first contact with humans is named Solkar guys. Y’all just be makin’ up names for characters that already have names.

Bonus: here’s a screencap of Solkar doing the “my body is ready” pose right before he shakes Zefram Cochrane’s hand:

[adreadfulidea-deactivated202402]

I swear Vulcans only come in two types and they are “distant xenophobes” or “horny on main for humanity”. Also apparently this guy is Spock’s great-grandfather and frankly that explains everything.

[kaijuerotica]

Hey so I looked into this at one point and that handshake literally created a lifelong telepathic bond between the two of them, and basically all of Solkar’s descendants were later obsessed with humans, including freaking SPOCK, so I’m not saying that handshake was so gay and good that it created an intergenerational telepathic bond between Solkar’s descendants and humans, but I’m also not….not….saying that.

[tanukiham]

actual footage of first contact makeouts

[saucefactory-deactivated2019103]

The slow deliberation with which Solkar takes Cockrane’s–I’m sorry, Cochrane’s–hand… The sheer sensuality witch which Solkar infuses an otherwise borderline impersonal social ritual… It clearly shows a very conscious knowledge, on Solkar’s part, of what the significance of the handshake is in Vulcan terms and of how affected he is by it.

That’s why he’s so slow in doing it, and so sensual. A part of Solkar can’t believe this is happening, despite it being a perfectly logical thing to expect from a human, and the rest of him can’t believe how good it is.

I bet that if the camera zoomed in any further we would see the dilation of Solkar’s pupils and a quickly-repressed shiver of delight. Cochrane’s firm, businesslike clasp is probably (in sexual terms) being perceived as a deliciously carnal display of dominance.

No wonder Solkar is all like, “TAKE ME, YOU WILD-MANNERED BARBARIAN WITH ENTICINGLY ROUGH CALLUSES.”

And so we find out that yes, there is such a thing as bottoming in Pon-farr.

[gallifreyanwriter]

#somehow the idea of vulcans being Horny On Main always gives me the giggles#like literally all they had to do#was be like actually#hand contact is very intimate for our species#and im p sure humanity as a whole would not find that insurmountably weird#there are human cultures that dont shake hands#vulcans are logical enough to think that through on their own#so clearly that vulcan was just down to fuck#down to fuck in a public#professional diplomatic situation no less#and he did not fucking care who knew it (via kittykatthetacodemon)

[hazeldomain]

Some Vulcan: we could probably just explain that handshakes are intimate in our culture

Solkar, rubbing lip gloss on his hand: don’t tell me how to do my job

As a trans woman I can confirm that they indeed found an ancient forest inside a 630ft deep sinkhole in China

[gayweeddaddy69]

cis people can reblog this but keep it on subject, please

[senshibignaturals]

Happy pride month everyone always remember that the sinkhole has an ecosystem large enough to house not only insects but likely several species of small birds or mammals

Funny growing up in the late 2000s and seeing constant "don't text and drive" warnings, PSAs telling us to put our phones down behind the wheel, wait until you're home to send that text, a phone-distracted driver is a deadly driver etc etc

Only for modern car manufacturers to be like "we made the car a phone :) now you have to text and drive to change the radio station :)"

I love how it doesn't matter what expedition it is.

They all turn into excited kids when they meet penguins.

[asteroidtroglodyte]

The Penguin: GIANTS! no way! I’m gonna wave at them THEY WAVED BACK! Holy Shit they’re dancing with me! My Wife is never gonna believe this OMG I got to dance with a Giant today so cool.

The Humans: Penguin! No way! I’m gonna wave at it IT WAVED BACK! Holy Shit it’s flapping with me! I got to play with a Penguin today; so cool.
