it's so wild to me that when Maya asked what the vampires could offer her, the first thing HJ says is "MOney.!" but then immediately balk at being asked to use that money in favor of the community and call it extortion. Money was offered, but only on an individual scale

i think it shows a lot when Emily says 'Oh I thought that was a lot' about $750,000, Because it is! for the working class. it's a matter of scale HJ could have offered 750 MILLION (750,000,000) and that would still be a single chip off their wealth. Lavonte said what, the company is 4.4 B? imagine offering someone $75 when you've promised to share your $440,000,000 (four hundred forty million). of course Maya felt insulted? it's like a slap to the face.

but when Lavonte heard the request, he immediately wired 3.1M ($3,100,000) that's Minuscule to a billionaire i get why she was insulted. Lavonte is the only reason she's not stonewalling them

HELLO. YOU ARE GORGEOUS. THANKS.

i honestly love the contrast between how we see the tachonis treat occtis and the halovar treat wick. both family dynamics are deeply abusive, but what we see with occtis and primus is obviously, recognizably abuse based in fear and violence. wick and his grandmother, on the other hand, have a relationship that was viewed by wick as loving. he was the favorite, he loved her and she loved him. but the more he learns about his home life and the more time we spend with yanessa, the clearer the dangerous emotional enmeshment happening in the halovar household becomes. if primus's treatment of occtis is based in apathy and pain, yanessa's treatment of wick is an insidious kind of affection. a controlling attachment that they can publicly pretend is okay because she loves him. when everything else is gone, wick is supposed to hold onto her love for him. it is perhaps less overt than the abuse occtis faces at the hands of the tachonis, but no less horrible and detrimental for the people involved. occtis was a target for murder because he was different from him family and was unable to hide it; if wick had been a worse liar and openly deviated from the identity yanessa laid out for him, she was vocally just as willing to murder him, too

"You didn't disappear, no one disappears" made me well up with such sudden tears. Here is a young woman who died. And here is the journalist who wrote her obituary, who talked to her loved ones and would have heard how passionate vesper was. And nancy saw her, when she wrote her obituary. She saw her and she remembered her, and when she noticed vampire superheros pop up and one was named bat child she knew that that was the same bright young woman. God I love nancy danderhoof

I know subbing and bottoming are different but congratulations to Zac and Lou for finally catching up to Murph (theobald) in having their characters get pegged.

if kristen applebees met hj wingstreet, she would look that twink in the eye, and say "Handjob Wingstop" as the verbal component to a sunbeam spell and blast his ass to kingdom come

[not-a-smartass-just-a-nerd]

don't mind me, just thinking about how Nancy Danderhoof must have felt the first time she saw Bat Child's face and saw not a Nosferatu vampire but a ghost, the ghost of a girl she mourned, the ghost of a girl whose death she honored in the one way she knew how to, by writing, by digging, by never giving up on finding the truth because "nobody just disappears-"

the splash of cold water by brennan to remind you that this is not what the camarilla would want their vampires to do. that they're not getting a good grade in purpee because they aren't supposed to care about what happens to the people. it's so good.

and THEN you get dangling offers to madelaine, to lavonte to be selfish the way they have been for so many long years, to turn their backs on these people they've been forced to be near. what does a 6 month old friendship mean to a 400 year old vampire? nothing when it means getting to leave purpee! they don't even have a prada store in purpee!

sowing some little seeds of conflict that even if everyone makes the nice choice, is still interesting. what a wonderful season. what a delightful ride this season is so far

I really love Brennan's explanation of why the ghosts hadn't just worked together to kill the Whittakers. There was so much harm the Whittakers had caused, the ghosts were tearing at each other to get to the Whittakers. I wonder sometimes of why people irl have not banded together to take out very obvious systemic evils. That explanation makes so much sense. There are so many ways in which everyone is struggling or having their spirits dampened that it is very hard to focus on one thing and not tear at each other in our struggle to have our pain heard.

Anna using 'Paul Robalino' as a non-famous person name to his FACE was so sick, twisted, and hilarious. I'm still laughing about it 10 minutes later.
