back on my kuroken bs

Em | 25 | she/her Sideblog for too many fandoms including but not limited to Dan & Phil, Haikyuu!! (and a few other sports animes), currently a bit obsessed with Interview with the Vampire and Heated Rivalry, and also some random books... also Sherlock Holmes, all media types.

Girl help they are taking away all the fun from Tale of the Body Thief. Vampires can piss now and David Talbot is dead

at some point The Character stops being a character and starts being a close personal friend

My personal friend Armand De Manipulator ♡

Um so I found a print of The Fighting Temeraire in a charity shop for £2, of course I got it. I love seeing that painting in the National Gallery, the sunset is quite literally glowing. But. That scene in Skyfall between Bond and Q is actually the reason I got it 😭.

When my dad walked into my flat and sat down, he saw the painting and started to quote that whole scene from memory 😭

Sitting on my bed with a thousand yard stare after listening to Your Biggest Fan okay. Okay.

i feel like the youth should be reminded that the point of shipping is not for a ship to become canon. the point of shipping is to collect all the canon crumbs like starved mice, run away cackling and make some fun little scenarios with them just for the hell of it.

No you don’t get it. I’m pretty sure the majority of Armand enjoyers started liking him because of how deeply pathetic he is, not in spite of it. This new trailer is nothing.

On my first viewing, each time Daniel and Louis would make him look ridiculous and Armand would make things infinitely worse for himself, I became a little more certain that he was my favourite.

Obviously there’s a million and one other reasons to love him because he’s very complex but it was without a doubt this face that cemented it for me:

Your Biggest Fan is so fucked up.

I love it and it physically pains me at the same time.

The music video/scene in TVL is gonna be soul crushing I just know it.

Book spoilers/my thoughts under the cut:

Oh my... First off, praise for Sam Reid because his range is incredible.

TW for SA, blood, suicide, death.

So this is Lestat singing from Magnus' pov, his maker, who stalked him (including watching his plays and telepathically calling him Wolfkiller), broke into his room where he was sleeping next to Niki, dragged him through the window and to his tower, kept him captive and gave him wine (I think food too iirc), they talked a bit but ultimately Magnus raped Lestat, and threw himself into the fire without explanation (he only told Lestat he'd hidden his treasure in the secret bit of the tower where the sarcophagus/coffin is).

In the book I think they keep drinking/recycling each others blood, and making Lestat a very powerful fledgling, unfortunately as we all know the vampire biting is a metaphor for sex (in this case rape, ik in the show they have actual sex too beyond the biting).

As Lestat transforms, he's in a lot of physical pain (also mental I can't even imagine), and he ends up in the dungeon under the coffin room (?) of the building, where he finds all the decayed corpses of boys who look like him. Blonde hair, blue eyes, rotting away. Magnus was looking for the best, the most perfect human to make his last fledgling. Obviously this is very traumatic for Lestat, and he's "purging" the last of his physical human functions out of his body, he vomits blood. As he's a newly made vampire, the blood ignites his appetite and he tries to eat it again (iirc). This is incredibly pathetic and I really feel for him in this scene, after all he's been through.

Anyway, this is what I remember from TVL book and obviously this song is about Magnus and it's so fucking sad. I hope it was cathartic for Lestat's character to write and perform.

if you ever find yourself writing fanfiction and thinking "this is too indulgent" that is the devil talking and he can go ahead and shut the fuck up
