the way their relationship wasn’t just represented as platonic or romantic but just pure love is so beautiful to me. they’re not just soulmates but their souls were somehow made for each other. they’re are destined together in every timeline. EVERY TIMELINE. it was tragically beautiful and bittersweet. souls intertwined on a singular celestial level; an eternity together in the cosmos. not as lovers or friends or partners but as soulmates. everything was for them. and that truly was such a beautiful thing.
Why can’t we just stay right here?
I think its really funny when people get mad at the pro-hairy pussy posts on this site (yes including posts hating on bald pussy) and take an angle of “wow everyone is being so weird about shaving now and its so wrong to judge peoples choices like this” because like. Okay. Either you dont fuck or go outside, or you have been doing whats expected of you so long you have no idea how people who dont make the same choice as you are mistreated. Because so many people ESPECIALLY MEN are still convinced simply having body hair is unhygienic and will shame and dehumanize anyone who has it in the most vile and unnecessary way. Like youre seeing so many of these vehement bush or die posts BECAUSE PEOPLE ARE PUSHING BACK AGAINST THAT NOTION its not happening in a vacuum but once again tumblr users are out of touch with what actually happens on planet earth
If you like shaving: congrats, there are millions of people who would not accept you any other way
1. This makes the assumption that people shave purely bc of beauty standards (not true)
2. You can fight societal standards without being a dick to people for no reason
2. "The patriarchy is an asshole to women so I'm going to fix it by ALSO being an asshole to women but in the opposite direction" is a nitrogen cold take
3. Stop imparting unwanted criticisms about people's bodies christ how many times do we have to say it
You can do whatever the fuck you want, wether being hairy or bald, heels or shoes, makeup or bareface, hair or shaved-- and the list could go on. And still, be able to be completely honest and transparent surrounding social acceptance's disparity. Because, whereas I've rarely seen and suffered violence for having shaved legs-- We've been harassed or pointed for having them hairy. AND THAT'S A FACT.
They're not been an asshole for brutally pointing that. They're just making fun about something real. They aren't been violent against those who choose to shave and do the same thing the patriarchy has stablished as the beauty standard. They're pointing out that if you choose not to, you're still fucking cool and beautiful because the amount of violence, revulsion, rejection and punishment this women suffer, is higher. AND THAT'S A FACT.

A love that breaks through revulsion. The acting of loving that erodes shame and venerates compassion. A pure bonding that transcends the moral dichotomy between humanity/monster. A love that is free from his prejudices against his own identity. A love that reminds him that he is more than that.
A love that is messy, provocative but true and nurtured. A companionship of loyalty and eternity, beyond the passing of times and changing of ages. A love that is the brutal acceptance for someone who has find his redemption after years of suffering due to his unwanted vampiresque identity. A love that reminds him that he is perfect the way he is.
A love that is consistent and secure-- in control. A sense of belonging for the one that has endured thousands of lives as nothing but a possession, a slave, a flesh of pleasure. A love that holds to his systematic believe, as a creature who has to ensure his own safety. A love that reassures his survival instinct. A love that reminds him that he is enough.
A love that is unconditional, prideful and active. Young, wild and adventurous. The concrete beneath the feet, the push to confront reality, the engine to keep the hope and the currency to keep moving. A love that is raw and sacred. A love that is young and indomitable. A love that reminds her that she can be loved.
They're all pretty messy, but is funny to see the different shades in each character and how they seem to understand love during these two seasons.
iwtv is so fun because it's not really about vampires who happen to be gay. it's about gay ppl with personality disorders who also happen to be vampires
The ending of True Blood will never not be one of the biggest fumbles in TV history to me. This story started out as an exploration of non-traditional relationships, with heavy allegories both tied into racism and homophobia, morally grey characters, and open queerness!!
And where did we end up? Aside from the confusing mess that had once been a plot?
1. With Tara, the prominent queer black woman (also an abuse and SA survivor), dead, for the second time. They pulled the "bury your gays" trope twice. With the same character. A black woman. They really did that. The writers and producers really did that to her. Oh my fucking God. Tara, girl, I am so sorry. At least Lafayette survived (RIP Nelsan Ellis).
2. The Terry, the war veteran with PTSD, dead, in what was essentially assisted suicide. This lovable family man, who had his mind wiped by a vampire just so he could have some goddamn peace of mind, is then shot down just to give the audience a gut-punch.
3. Two of Sookie's supernatural lovers dead, including the main love interest, Bill. By Sookie's own hand, too. I guess that's at least a grand enough end to the main couple. There's something so symbolic about her literally killing her original connection to the world of vampires, I'll give them that. Maybe that would be a powerful ending to any other vampire story, but here in the world where vampires are a marginalized group fighting for their rights? Mmmm bad take.
4. The main characters in heteronormative relationships, with kids. We don't even know who Sookie is married to. Don't give me that "it's not about who she's with, it's about her being happy" crap. We have spent this entire series following this woman's romantic journey. It's kind of how this whole plot got kicked off. All that for her to be with some human guy we've never even met? What a slap in the face.
All those themes of accepting differences and finding true happiness outside of conformity, absolutely shit on. If I wanted to watch a show with Normal Happy Endings, I'd watch literally anything else. I hate it here.
Preach.
I expected more blood, more violence, more sex, more complexity by adding villainish characteristics instead of playing it safe in the whitests of grey of most characters, A HELLA LOT MORE OF QUEERNESS POLYAMOROUS ORGIES AND EVERY SINGLE LETTER OF THE LGTBQI+, more depth in some characters that are crucial and important (as Sookie LOL, Tara or Jess for example; they did Tara SO dirty specially after that final weird root to forgiveness with her mom and God...ugh).
Like...we're in Louisiana, a very wizardy place where black magic and voodoo was pretty much a thing and, basically, the foundation of this place (FOR GOD SAKE OUR WONDERFUL MARIE LAVEAU and the greatest coven ahs's season), surrounded by bloodthirsty and hypersexual hundred year old vampires who once were human, werewolves, fairies, hunters, etc.
I expected more black and native american characters, more queer characters, more rawness, more darkness, a more complex mc because Sookie is by far one of the least interesting characters; yet it still gets to you, because you can still feel that's a story (book) ahead of its time, and I give them that. Truth is, I'm not pretty sure if we'd be able to do a good job with a remake nowadays...Above all, because the environment they created was great, as well as some characters that gets to our hearts like Lafayette, Tara or Pam, who are iconic and irreplaceable.
All I dream of is someone somewhere writing a book or script inspired on this wonderful book and tv show to create another story ahead of our time! Despite being the age of copy-paste, remaking remakes and crappy rewritings because God bless capitalism and the ai and the attention span of a fly with adhd that deprives people from watching something a bit more complex that two people sucking and fucking yey
BTW I'm SO thankful to Anne Rice. So thankful for creating THE characters, THE atmosphere and THE vampires. Thankful to Rolin Jones, Levan Akin and every single director, producer, art director, designer, decorator, makeup artist, special effect, editor and actor to bring her books, world and characters to life in such beautiful, diverse, actual way.
I couldn't imagined a better Lestat, Louis, Claudia, Estelle, Daniel, Armand and Santiago than what this show has given us. I. AM. LIVING. I don't care about Anne Rice's descriptions, I don't care if in the book Armand has red hair, Louis's got long hair or Claudia is 5. In my mind the ONLY Armand that exist is Assad Zaman, the only Louis I can think of is Jacob Anderson and so on with every single character (loved to see Ben Daniels btw, I'm so fond of him since The exorcist).
Waiting impatiently to see more.
The fact that I have twelve books about my romantic bloodthirsty gay vampires, not only brings me joy, but I can feel closer to God.
lestat de lioncourt is theeeee character of all time because:
kiIIed 8 wolves on his own. kissed his mom several times. has abnormally small feet. is bisexual. is a french aristocrat. is half italian. is a scorpio. is a theater kid. is neurodivergent. was the youngest son. loves being called a slut. laughs when he isn’t supposed to. wanted to be a priest despite not believing in god because he liked the monastery vibes. is into people who are way older than him. has a porsche and a harley-davidson. doesn’t know how to do math. is both a girl dad AND a boy dad. shat and pissed all over himself. can play several musical instruments. became a rockstar. ate his own vomit. slept with a nun. talks to his own dick. baby trapped his husband. slurped period blood. was the village whore. literally went to heaven and hell. wrote his books like they’re wattpad fanfics. chopped off a dude’s whole arm with his tiny pocket axe. loves walmart. cries every chance he gets. drank jesus christ’s blood and made him moan. lost his one eye then put it back in. tortured a guy for singing off key. declared war on humans AND vampires because he was curious about what would happen. woke up the first ever vampire with his music. doesn’t know what a dialysis is. keeps forgetting to charge his iphone. can’t handle being ignored. needs constant words of affirmation. and the list goes on
Bet he'd wear the "this is the skin of a killer" meme shirt.
oh he’s adorable, just full teeth smiling at the fact that he’s gonna die. I love this cast so much.
But as the script started to come in, I thought the only way this level of vitriol that he has works is if he's in love with Armand. There is this extraordinary psychological term called reaction formation, which is what Iago has for Othello. It's a defense mechanism whereby your impulses are so unacceptable to your ego that they're replaced by this opposite, exaggerated behavior. Santiago finds Louis incredibly attractive. Because Armand killed Santiago's maker — who I think he was in love with too — and also finds Louis attractive, the whole thing must be destroyed. It gave such a drive to his hatred. It was just something ruminating in myself that drove him forward in a very aggressive, mad, extreme, way. – Ben Daniels [X]
“All my love belongs to you. You are its keeper.”
My own fans are hands down meaner to me than any other people on the planet. Not speaking for all of you, of course. But it used to be just a minority that were awful to me and now it seems like a majority have only stuck around to chime in occasionally with their opinion of how much they hate me or how awful I am. it’s hard to want to engage in a space that is completely devoid of any kindness, sympathy, patience; or to be honest human decency. Especially after years of hiding from the interactions for fear that this EXACT thing would happen. I don’t know man. I almost lost my life. I am not gonna do anything that doesn’t make me happy anymore. I can’t spiritually afford it.
When I got sick all I could think about was getting better so I could come back and be a part of THIS again, but I don’t even know what *this* is anymore and I want to crawl in a hole and I regret coming back.
Maybe *this* gotta be what pulled you in to make music in the very beginning, when you had nobody, no fans to engage with, no smiles to keep maintaining (for god sake, I've seen full adults and also chronically ill, whining on twitter because you didn't interact with them as often as you used to; and as far as I know, you're an artist, not a personal entertainer lol).
You're right, do what you wanna do because everyone else will keep doing what they wanna do.
I'm sorry, but who knows that kind of detail about a work partner? Down to the days? Steve, your Danny obsession is showing.
There's always one in the relationship who keeps track of the anniversary...
