me when I'm very normal about media

Rambling about general media my bird brain latches on! I do the fanart thing sometimes

[lustrethings]

I need fic recommendations about Devil's Minion doing domestic menial shit that's mildly unsettling to the ordinary human (I just read a fic about armand psychologically torturing an AI and it's the cutest thing ever)

[maxwyl]

lestat said kill yourself and armand made one of his bandmates jump in front of a train. lestat made fun of armand's sexual performance and past as a child sex slave and armand helped his boyfriend leak a video of lestat having sex with his own mother. you go low he goes to hell hall of fame

iwtv bravely asks the question "what if the guy stalking you for the last 50 years got real autistic with it"

The musical 36 Questions is a devil's minion or loumand track for those with eyes to see ("If only I could make him see, if I was given the choice of telling him the truth or sticking knives into my eyes, I'd pick the knives - but I'll survive" is so armand)

[lustrethings]

Something something Armand condemning Lestat's lover and child when Armand himself was his maker's child and lover simultaneously (oh how the dynamic between Marius and Armand feels even more fucked up in comparison to that) something something Lestat actually cared and tried to save both of them and Armand's play only successfully killed Claudia when Arun is the part of Armand he has distanced himself from the most something something Armand's and Claudia's makers failed them in ways that are so different, but failed them anyway something something it's another way Claudia was damned for things she never has a choice or fault in

Epilogue: she did, in fact, kick his ass.

[demaparbat-hp]

This, he thought, was a beautifully executed plan, until I OPENED MY BIG MOUTH.

Sorry, love. I don't think she'll be open to bending classes any time soon.

Watch as Jian Li repeatedly puts his foot in his mouth in Akai Kotou's Chapter IV (read here!): Tempers (and Peaches).

[demaparbat-hp]

Jian Li tilts his head, watching her curiously. The waterbender has quite the temper. She's irritable and smart-mouthed and awfully, terribly vexing, for lack of a better word. Letting her in on his secret won't be easy. He's got his work cut out for him.  Unfortunately for her, Jian Li doesn't give up without a fight.

Oh, and what a fight it is. This isn't the (official) first meeting neither were expecting, but hey, it wouldn't be them otherwise. Here's to hoping the rest of their interactions are more peaceful than in Akai Kotou's Chapter IV (read here!): Tempers (and Peaches).

“Feeding and checking on two animals a couple of times a day is hardly a chore for you. Meanwhile, I've got to deal with a sexist and—even worse—a stupid piece of koalasloth dung.”

“Still not my problem.”

“I'll make it your problem,” she growls.

She wanted murder. He needed sleep.

Technically, the scene this dialogue is from doesn't match the artwork, but the vibe is most important! Their banter must be one of my favorite things about Itch, Akai Kotou's second chapter (read it here!). The dynamic between Suki and Jian Li is terribly amusing, isn't it?

[demaparbat-hp]

Here I am, pushing the Jian Li (Akai Kotou! Zuko) = Jinshi (The Apothecary Diaries) agenda.

[demaparbat-hp]

He truly did.

[demaparbat-hp]

Their actual first meeting in the Kyoshi Warriors AU!

Katara had her Oh moment before exchanging a word with Jian Li, and while she gets over it in time (or, at least, convinces herself that she's not embarrassed by her initial reaction to him) this quasi-interaction haunts her for the first couple of days of their stay in Kyoshi Island.

It's just not fair that the place is full of gorgeous people! Or that he's not only beautiful, but also kind and awkward and respectful and dorky and—oh, La—she's in trouble.

[demaparbat-hp]

Kiyoshi AU - sharing kisses in their makeup?? They'd get so embarrassed cause the makeup leaves evidence. And I feel like Ursa would totally tease them (mostly Zuko cause he's too tease) but also think they're too adorable

They weren't made for subtlety

[demaparbat-hp]

Oh, Aang, you're really in it now...

This is Zu—I mean, Jian Li and Katara's second meeting in the Kyoshi Warriors AU. The first proper one, anyway.

Once they get through a minor difference of opinion or two (“I can carry my own basket!” “Never said you—” “I'm not weak!” “I didn't—” “Just because I'm a girl doesn't mean—” “Would you listen for once, woman?!” ) they'll become nearly inseparable.

For now Jian Li will carry Katara's basket all the way to the Kyoshi Warriors' dojo and, once there, they'll mercilessly tease Sokka when they see him in uniform.
