This terrible awful no good season of television *is* inspiring me to write my own original queer vampire fiction. With themes and plot and coherent characterization and all of that

[korkiekenobiconfirmed]

I’m afraid no marvel adaptation will ever do it like blade. the blood rave. the leather fit. the techno soundtrack. wesley fucking snipes. kris kristofferson is there for some reason and he’s killing it. the clunky 90s CGI. the R rating. the pointed and perfect f bomb drops. the female co-lead who’s as smart as she is badass and she saves blade as often as he saves her and she’s not even explicitly a love interest. “it’s still heavy” “but you’re so big?”

"i asked chatgpt" well i calculated the number of the beast. it is napoleon. six hundred three score and six. and i will kill him one day. he's no great man, none of us are great men, we're caught in the waves of history. nothing matters; everything matters, it's all the same. Oh, if only I could not see it, that dreadful, terrible, it.
