Holder Of The Sacred Chalice Of Rixx

Queers, rare books, and queer books. “The person who gets this package is asked to denounce loudly any ideas in the prose or the verse that he does not like and, on the other hand, he is urged to champion with shameless enthusiasm any of these ideas that stand the test of close inspection. In the end, I want you to join my gang, I do not want to join yours." -Vachel Lindsay

The words began to pour out of me as they had out of him, and soon we were talking about a thousand things we had felt in our hearts, varieties of secret loneliness, and the words seemed to be essential words the way they did on those rare occasions with my mother. And as we came to describe our longings and dissatisfactions, we were saying things to each other with great exuberance, like “Yes, yes,” and “Exactly,” and “I know completely what you mean,” and “And yes, of course, you felt that you could not bear it,” etc. —THE VAMPIRE LESTAT

Her mind, fierce as it is now, will not endure. It will break apart in time.

An alien calm crept slowly over me. It was dark, full of bitterness and growing fascination. I wasn’t human anymore. — THE VAMPIRE LESTAT

“I don’t believe it,” Nicolas said bitterly. “He wouldn’t be ashamed of us.” There was a suppressed rage in his voice, an ugly grief. “And why did he leave the way he did? I heard him calling me! The window was smashed to pieces! I tell you I was half awake, and I heard his voice.” — THE VAMPIRE LESTAT

—She was already broken-hearted, and you burned her first boyfriend. —She's the one who killed him!

A splinter of coldness in you, is that what makes you fascinating?

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022-) | S02E06

[cryptotheism]

Don’t you have to read good books to be a good writer?

You need a balanced diet of Peak, Dogshit, indulgent tripe, top 40 shit, almost-peak, niche peak, and experimental avante garde shit.

There was recently a copyright infringement case in YA and I need everyone to know that the following sentence was in the legal decision:

“Hot, sexy, dangerous boys, central to virtually all young adult romance novels, cannot be copyrighted.”

[kuttithevangu]

“Regarding setting, the court held that both works taking place in Alaska high schools was not protectable because Alaska is a public place and setting a teen novel in a high school is a common genre convention.”

I've read the entire decision (skimming over the purely legal precedent/definitions bit) and here are some of my favorite bits:

[gomjabbar]

every time adobe does some bullshit with their software you get motherfuckers going "now's a good time to remind everyone TintonProClips is completely free and has all the same features as After Effects" and you look it up and it's linux-only and the ui is in yucatec maya

[creekfiend]

people talk about how we need to bring back "don't feed the trolls" rhetoric for modern internet ragebait and I agree but also I think the most useful thing from the Old Internet that I miss is LURKING

be a lurker. just read things and think about them without feeling the need to weigh in or call out or disseminate everything you encounter. it's so nice and so freeing and it's a good way to learn things.

I have frequently regretted getting involved in shit that didn't involve me online but you know what I've never regretted doing? Lurking. literally lurk moar

Watching TikTok try and rewrite fandom history by saying fandom culture was created by teenage girls makes me eye twitch to an extent I’ve never felt it twitch before. The middle aged women printing out Spirk erotica to share with each other in the 1900s did not die for this!!!! How dare you erase our important historic moments!!! You would be nowhere without the 30 year old women who dedicated their free time to making these spaces happen. Put some respect on their names!!!!

#this is true but 'in the 1900s' just murdered me in my chair#that's not incorrect but also that's WRONG
