Lou is such a powerhouse performer. His confrontation with Ermine is so incredible, and he seems legitimately pissed off. His tone of voice, the way his body closes up, his facial expression... Completely selling this moment. This entire meeting he delivers such a masterful performance of a man who is trying his best in a shitty situation and at his wits end with the bureaucracy of the Camarilla.

#lou wilson #lavonte worthy #also his explanation for why this set lavonte off so much in ap was beautiful #that what makes lavonte great and distinct is that he remembers what it’s like to be human #he has a drive and a thirst for more that is to some extent incongruent or confusing for beings that live forever #they were trying to tell him how to be a vampire and force him into their box/expectations of a vampire #this is how lou ends up creating my favorite character 95% of the time #because choices that can seem extreme or superficial having actually so much intention and meaning behind it #and then he also is like for the love of the game lavonte is unable to relate to patty despite being able to charm literally everyone else

#city council of darkness #ccod #ccod spoilers #fantasy high #as soon as ally called for the scene i knew there would be parallels #because both scenes were out of nowhere and involved them trying to do something stealthy but absolutely wild and brennan saying NO #dimension 20

Nigerian Pride 🏳️‍🌈🇳🇬

I meant to have this out yesterday. Happy belated pride. :)

I'm glad you all like the Nigeria Pride post!

Originally, I went in worried the opposite would happen. Growing up, I've been taught that Nigeria, the country, is homophobic. (I was born in America.) But over time, I learned that there's tons of other queer Nigerians; some are out, and some are in the closet 😭.

I'm also not used to this much attention, lol

Thank you all!

contrary to popular belief not everyone has an innate sense of internal gender or care to have one or seek a name for it, some people go their whole lives without questioning their occupation in one of two gender roles, but for some people, if pressed, they don’t feel that internal sense of ‘i am a woman’ or ‘i am a man’, and in that case i feel the switch over to transgender vs cisgender relies on active identification of a gender other than the one they were assigned. if someone’s like ‘idk dude I just work here’ then that’s valid

#i would describe my gender as not exactly ‘idk dude i just work here’ #more like…..when someone assumes you work somewhere that you don’t #but you know how to help them so you do it anyway #my gender is wearing a red shirt at a target

These are the best tags

A portion of people in the notes are like ‘but that makes you trans. That’s called being agender’ and another portion of people are going ‘this is how the majority of cis ppl feel and it’s NOT agender’ and personally I feel like both of them are missing the point here. Yes a lot of people identify as agender because of this feeling. Yes a lot of people with this same feeling still identify as cis. These are not mutually exclusive experiences and it doesn’t mean the agender people are secretly cis or the cis people are secretly agender. It just means they have very similar experiences of gender that they choose to conceptualize and label differently, and neither of them are mistaken or wrong to do so.
