Armand’s “Burn Book” Chapter Insults (TVA, Part 2, Chapter 16)

Lestat

“Had thrown over custom and respectability and any hope of court ambitions, of which he had none anyway since he couldn’t even read or write, and was too insulting to wait on any King or Queen, who became a wild blond-haired celebrity of the boulevard gutter theatricals, a lover of men and women, a laughing happy-go-lucky blindly ambitious self-loving genius of sorts.”

“[Louis’] cocky insolent maker”

“Comprising everything you could ever possibly want to know about him and some of us.”

“The most bold and disregarding dusty vagabond on occasion, loner, wanderer, heart-breaker and wise guy, dubbed the “Brat Prince” by my old Master-yes, imagine it, my Marius, yes, my Marius, who did indeed survive the torches of the Roman Coven-dubbed by Marius the “Brat Prince,” though in whose Court and by whose Divine Right and whose Royal Blood I should like to know.”

“Almost destroyed the world.”

“Maddening and fascinating and intolerably annoying,”

“So much for him.”

Louis

“He remained with me because he had to do it. It was the only way that he could go on existing, and for death he has never had the courage, and never will.”

“Very human, weak, having lived only two hundred years, unable to read minds, or to levitate, or to spellbind others except inadvertently, which can be hilarious, an immortal with whom mortals fall in love.”

“Easy to track and easy to abandon,”  

“Will not make others after his tragic blunders with vampiric children,”

“Dusty Louis”

Claudia

“Who among us is going to let me be silent on the matter of Claudia, the child vampire whom I am accused for all time by all of having destroyed?”

“I never loved her. I didn’t know how.”

Daniel

“Sometimes an intolerable nuisance,”

“Equipped with my powerful blood, he can contend with any who should be foolish enough to interrupt his plans for an evening, a month or a year, but he cannot contend with my continuous company, and I cannot contend with his.”

Gabrielle

“Gabrielle. She’s around now.”

“Everyone hates her.”

“Abandons [Lestat] for centuries, and somehow doesn’t manage to heed Lestat’s periodic and inevitable frantic cries for help, which though she could not receive them, being his fledgling, could certainly learn of them from other vampiric minds which are on fire with the news round the world when Lestat is in trouble.”

“A vampire so cunning and cold that she has forgotten what it ever meant to be human or in pain. Indeed, I think she forgot overnight, if she ever knew it.”

“Something more akin to a prehistoric reptile than a human.”

“Gabrielle, virtually useless to anyone but herself. Some night she’ll say something to someone, I suppose.”

Pandora

“I don’t know her.”

“Seems too beautiful to hurt anyone.”

“She seems harmless.”

Santino

“Silent and without apology for the credos he had stuffed down my throat in the year 1500 before I was sent north to Paris.” 

“He says nothing to anyone.”

“He looks at me silently as if we never talked together of theology and mysticism, as if he never broke my happiness, burnt my youth to cinders, drove my Maker into century-long convalescence, divided me from all comfort.”

“At times he looks shrewd and even hateful.”

“Where he actually lives, and when he will surface, nobody knows.”

“We keep a gentlemanly distance from one another.”

Marius

“It is like a glacier between us,”

“Neither microscopes nor computers shake his faith in the infinite, though his once solemn charges-Those Who Must Be Kept, who held such promise of redemptive meaning-have long been toppled from their archaic thrones.”

“Enough of him.”

David

“Assaulted by your closest of friends, the loving monster, the vampire who would have you as his fellow traveler in eternity whether or not you gave him leave,”

“You dress with high vanity”

“You look at me as though your curiosity will put me off guard, when nothing of the sort is true.”

“Hurt me and I’ll destroy you. I don’t care how strong you are, or what blood Lestat gave you. I know more than you do.”

“Because I show you my pain, I do not of necessity love you.” 

TLDR: What Armand thinks of everyone

Lestat: Dumb asshole that nearly killed everyone.

Louis: Weak and can’t do anything, bless his heart.

Claudia: No one will shut up about how I killed Claudia. Yeah, I mutilated her, but she needed to go.

Daniel: I can’t stand him anymore.

Gabrielle: Useless cold-hearted reptile bitch that everyone hates.

Pandora: Seems pretty chill and harmless?

Santino: Destroyed my entire life and acts as if nothing ever happened. Rude.

Marius: Acts so perfect, actually isn’t.

David: I will not hesitate to fucking annihilate you cause you’re nothing compared to me.

Now tell me Armand isn’t the saltiest vampire out of the coven….

Not sure if there is any demand or want at all for these but I made picmix gifs of a few gods I've been very fixated on at the moment.

I tried to include their sacred animals/plants/items etc.. Also included a quote from their hymns. I hope u like them.

Juno

Artist: Joseph Paelinck (Dutch, 1781-1839)

Date: 1832

Medium: Oil on canvas

Collection: Museum of Fine Arts Ghent, Belgium

Juno

Juno was an ancient Roman goddess, the protector and special counsellor of the state. She was equated to Hera, queen of the gods in Greek mythology and a goddess of love and marriage. A daughter of Saturn and Ops, she was the sister and wife of Jupiter and the mother of Mars, Vulcan, Bellona, Lucina and Juventas. Like Hera, her sacred animal was the peacock.

When did the vulva become obscene?

An ad alluding to the vulva is sparking controversy, but there are few objections to phallic symbols. What explains this difference in treatment?

In Greek art, depictions of the vulva – believed to boost female fertility – are only found on objects intended for women. 

 Statuettes of pregnant women touching their vulvas have been found in Egypt. Other figurines of vulva-women, found in Asia Minor, were probably worn by pregnant women as protective amulets. The ethnologist and psychoanalyst Georges Devereux associated these headless figurines, whose faces are engraved on their bellies, with the myth of the priestess Baubo, who showed her vulva to Demeter to distract the goddess from her grief at the loss of her daughter.

Like Ra in the Egyptian story of Hathor, Demeter reacted by laughing–but Baubo showed her vulva as a gesture of female solidarity, with no erotic intention.

The denigration of the vulva outside the female sphere is illustrated by the birth of the goddess Athena, who was growing in Zeus’ skull. One day, Zeus had such a headache that he begged the god Hephaestus to split open his skull with a hammer and chisel. Hephaestus complied, carving out a sort of improvised vulva.

The goddess Athena, in full armour, sprang out from this crack – so the lord of the gods was able to give birth to his daughter, proving the vulva’s worthlessness. This myth is a fantasy of male birth-giving – procreation in which the vulva plays no part.

Rare Greek Bronze Amulet of the Goddess Baubo, 5th-3rd Century BC

A suspension hoop is at top of head of the goddess, who is seen nude with her hands on her knees, revealing her over-sized vulva. Baubo was a fun-loving, bawdy, yet wise, goddess who played a crucial role in preserving the fertility of the land in ancient Greece. This piece may have been worn by a person connected with the Eleusinian Mysteries.1.25 inches (3.1cm) high

[athis3]

he fragment which mentions Baubo’s anasyrma is from an Orphic hymn and is five hexameters in length.[12] It is preserved in the Protrepticus of Clement of Alexandria, written in the second century CE:[13]

This said, she drew aside her robes, and showed A sight of shame; child Iacchus was there, And laughing, plunged her hand below her breasts. Then smiled the goddess, in her heart she smiled, And drank the draught from out that glancing cup.[14]

Clement presents the fragment as proof of the depravity of the Eleusinian Mysteries and Greek religion more generally. The context he provides for the quote is that Demeter has rested at Eleusis during her search for her daughter, and Baubo, treating her as a guest, has offered her food and wine. Demeter refuses these due to her mourning; the rejection of hospitality is perceived as a slight by Baubo who responds by showing her genitals.[15]

M. Marcovich interprets Iacchus’ role in these verses as simply that of an innocent child who happens to have appeared at the same moment as Baubo is attempting to amuse Demeter, and who is reaching below her breast because he is hungry and she is his nurse (Marcovich assumes the verses belong to a tradition in which Iacchus is the son of Demeter and Baubo his nurse).[16] Baubo’s actions are usually interpreted as an attempt to cheer Demeter up, rather than a response to a slight, based on the fact that this is the what happens in The Homeric Hymn to Demeter. Ralph Rosen sees the act as an attempt to cheer Demeter up specifically by mocking her, as is also the case with Iambe.[17] Ralph Rosen notes, however, that no one would have understood this as serious, or contemptuous mockery of the goddess.[18]

The Mystery of Baubo

You've heard of Zeus, Artemis, Aphrodite, and many more Greek gods. And you've probably heard of several renowned mortals of myth: Odysseus, Heracles, Helen, Cassandra. But unless you're a Greek scholar or have been to Spring Mysteries before, there’s a good chance you’ve never heard of Baubo.

Who was Baubo? A goddess, a mortal? And what does she have to do with the Spring Mysteries Festival?

The thing is, no one actually knows if Baubo was a goddess or a mortal. Even when reading scholarly articles, sorting out interpretation and hypothesis from fact is a mean feat. At SMF, the ATC recreates the ancient Mysteries of Eleusis every year, and Baubo has a small but integral part. This year I have the privilege of being the priestess of Baubo.
