the best argument for The Vampire Lestat being well written…

…is in all the hate blogs and their operative word of “shouldn’t”. Lestat shouldn’t! Armand shouldn’t! Louis shouldn’t! Daniel shouldn’t! But pretty much never “wouldn’t”. No one can say Lestat *wouldn’t* make fun of Armands sexual trauma. Daniel *wouldn’t* be hateful and conniving in his interviewing. Louis *wouldn’t* cross the line and play pretend with Regina. Armand *wouldn’t* flip on a dime after being rejected. Etc etc etc. Just that they *shouldn’t* and……shouldn’t (but did) is kind of vampires like, Whole Thing ™.

I have seen the absolute best takes written by hate blogs, who completely captured the essence of the story being told, but instead of having a good time, they hate it. And it’s just amazing honestly. Because it’s like. You did it. You got the show exactly. You understand the why.

You just don’t. like. it.

and now you are pretending and philosophizing and humanizing monsters and their different points of view of other monsters. And yeah, that sounds miserable babe but your cognitive dissonance is cracking me UP.

Mutual I wanna talk to you but I don't know what to say. I really like you and I enjoy our interactions I think you'd be an awesome person to be friends with in real life. Please do not attack me with a sledgehammer.

As someone who is both trans and has a child, absolutely hilarious to me that society presents one of these as absolutely only to be done if you are 110% certain and have proved to several people that you want it bad enough and are ready, and the other is like. You might as well everyone else does. Just do it nobody feels ready. You don’t want to? Yes you do

Especially since one of those is pretty reversible if you change your mind after a couple years and the other one, well, technically but that’s pretty frowned upon

reblog if you’ve had an online friendship that’s lasted more than 2 years

[saxifraga-x-urbium]

@macabrekawaii and i have been friends since 2002 and that's still not my oldest online friendship

[macabrekawaii]

@saxifraga-x-urbium is my longest friendship solely met via online these days as alas, my oldest online pal I kept contact with passed earlier this year. However, @gothcatlady and I are going strong a very close second from later in the 00s. But I have many many many online friends, most of whom I have now met IRL, that are well over a decade or more. And it's been far too long since I have seen Derek! Y'all will never be rid of me

[ariaste]

the best part is, this has always been true, even in the books. You simply cannot match Anne Rice's freak, it is impossible.

HATE when u can feel ur intestines writhing. cease your wriggling insolent belly worm

[skyporf]

WHEN do you ever feel that

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

the worms yearn for escape

[leo-forgot-to-create]

The worms are telling you to go see a doctor...

[skyactually]

@entities-of-posts the corruption/flesh?

[purlturtle]

After my hysto, I was in *intense* abdominal pain that didn't feel like wound pain from the ablation but something different that I couldn't explain, until the gynecologist told me "yep, that'd be your intestines rearranging themselves into the gap left behind by your uterus."

So there's a mental picture for you. Slither slither. Slither slither.

[biggest-gaudiest-poltergeist]

awwww, they were exploring their new enclosure 😍😍😍

[macabrekawaii]

I cannot emphasize enough the intestinal worm writhing post hysto is so real I felt like I was in fucking Videodrome

[stricatul]

no one talks about how draining it is when your mood is constantly switching between "its okay, i don't care. l'll be okay" and "I don't know how much more I can take"

Roy Harper for the ask game? :)

favorite thing about them: SO much but I gotta say it's his neediness most of all. I love how he yearns to feel chosen and wanted. Sorry, Roy.

least favorite thing about them: I think we can all agree the New 52 years were rough.

favorite line: So many, but let's give it up for the bit about Ollie in the Arsenal miniseries: "Some nights I pretend he's just off on another road trip. And then I just get mad that he didn't take me. As usual."

brOTP: The original Titans! His siblings! Kyle!

OTP: Oh you know it's Jason.

nOTP: Dick. I was neutral on the ship for a long time but fandom toxicity really put me off of it.

random headcanon: I've said this before but I think he really loves classic rock and folk music from the 60s and 70s.

unpopular opinion: Roy can be a fully established and interesting character in his own right without the Bats AND can have good and valuable relationships with both Dick AND Jason. It's possible! He contains multitudes!

song i associate with them: "Still Fighting It" by Ben Folds is THEE Ollie and Roy song. Like I know Ben Folds wrote it about his own kid but did he really write it about Ollie and Roy? Truly? It's okay, Ben, you can tell me.

favorite picture of them: Too many so I'm just going to share this one that's been on my desktop for literal years:

WHAT A NERD.
