Getting to know your mutuals

Tagged by @poisonplaces (thank you!!!)

Favorite color: purple, and if I have to pair it, it's with aquamarine, I think that looks pretty af

Last song I listened to: The Sharpest Lives by My Chemical Romance, which I think is probably my favorite song by them. I need to be in a specific mood to listen to mcr, and today I was in that mood.

Currently reading: shamefully, nothing. Work has been kicking my butt nonstop and I have focused more on writing than reading. I should be able to pick up a book soon, and my current plan is to read Geneva by Richard Armitage. I need a good thriller/crime book, I haven't read one in too long. Alternatively, I might go with a classic Agatha Christie book, because you can never go wrong with Monsieur Poirot.

Currently watching: Well, since the people over at Project Fear are super busy and not publishing a lot because they are still editing the videos, I'm catching up on their old show Destination Fear. I know ghost hunting shows get a lot of bad rep (mostly and rightfully due to Zak Bagans), but these four weirdos are fun to watch, the show is edited well, and the background history of the places they visit is super fascinating to me, I love abandoned places.

Currently craving: butter popcorn and an ice-cold glass of ice tea.

Tea or Coffee: Tea, all the way, always. I drink mugs of tea, not cups lol and multiple of them every day. I don't like coffee, but when I'm particularly tired I drink it for the caffeine boost. However, the way I drink my coffee is not exactly healthy nor Italian lol I put two espressos in a mug, then milk, almond syrup and ice. By the end, you can't even taste the coffee anymore lol

Thanks!

Favorite color: dark teal/cyan. Like, one shade off from the minecraft dye.

Last song: Valley Of The Dolls, by marina. Gives some plural vibes.

Currently reading A Tale of Transmigration. It's a Worm fanfic. Decent enough, I guess. Was suggested by a reader of another fanfic, decided to take them up on it.

Watching: Willow (2022). Re-watching for the 6th time, actually. Got a copy of the episodes. Glad to have it since disney+ removed the series a while back.

Coffee or tea: Tea. 100%. Got a moroccan black tea that I like with some honey and fresh mint. Harder to get it just that way nowadays that I'm in the dorms and don't have access to the potted mint plant that my mom has had for over a decade.

Anne Rice IWTV rant

I've read the vampire chronicles from a young age and grew to love Anne Rice's writing style, prose, cadence, vocabulary, and ambience description prone style.

Coming from a Spanish background, her writing in English not only challenged me in grasping the ideas that she was trying to convey, but also made me improve in the language to an extent unattainable by any other mean in the timeframe I did.

In my understanding of her work, she's (is because her style remains, although she has passed) a gothic and romantic writer. Dark romantic yet romantic nonetheless. Her characters are flawed and mostly evolve in a very slow pace. This fact makes sense mostly taking in to consideration they are vampires or immortal creatures, ghosts, spirits of different origins and more.

Lestat as her flagship is specially flawed, called by his peers and Rice herself a brat prince. What irked me first and made me appalled at the series depiction, was Lestat using his years in the blood and experience to beat Louis, and then his depiction trying to purchase his love by gifts as a mere wife beater would.

I have few issues with the series, starting with the time choices. Which in some moments are of no consequence, and yet in others carry plenty. One of those is the decision to alter Claudia's age, to the extent they took her.

Claudia's main drive and finally reason for the death was how young she was brought in to the blood. A child has not enough blood in their body to make a fledgling, thus hindering her freedom to go on her own way after reaching the maturity to do so. Also, the blood given by her maker would strengthen the body and make it resistant, yet a child's body is small, thus there's just so much the gift can do in such a small body. It does make sense to have an older actress to reprise the role, as Kirsten did in the film. Yet so much older as Armand himself in the books takes away her vulnerability, she could make another companion, Armand made plenty himself.

That takes me to another point that in the beginning was of no consequence. Having immortal bodies that could have intercourse. This made for beautiful depictions of Louis and Lestat's love and desire for each other, and then was used to hurt Claudia.

Changing her origin from a dying girl that Louis bit unable to contain his thirst after starving himself, and Lestat completing that change as a sort of gift, that served him the purpose of keeping Louis by his side; to that if a girl rescued from a fire that Louis wanted so save.

Louis has an eternal battle with himself from before he was made, and he did try to help people after, and those experiences taught him of his limitations and flawed morals. Not changing them, he evolved little in that aspect still, he did evolve.

He had way more agency, he did leave Armand out of his own volition, he also refused Lestat in the Tale of the Body Thief. And yet he's not much more than a puppet in the series.

The fact that Armand uses his gift to manipulate his memories, as well as keeping him as a pet.

I've seen some people citing the books in parts yet neglecting to point out the greatest deviations from the books in other moments. And it seems hilarious in the worst possible way, they are pretty much doing with the book what religious people do with the bible. Interpret what suits me, ignore what doesn't.

The whole thing feels like a badly written fan-ficiton by someone that didn't understand the more intrinsic ideas in the original source.

Tha's all for now, there's probably going to be more in the near future, as I am using this to just rant. I love Anne's stories, and seeing it butchered feels pretty wrong. Specially because the majority of people won't even read the books, and keep this distorted image of it as if it was in any way similar to the beauty she wrote in her lifetime.
