will say i AM pleased that the interview with the vampire show got the essential "regular gorgeous man vs upstettingly tooth-achingly gorgeous man" dynamic between louis and lestat perfectly right

louis is the hottest guy at your 10 year high school reunion. lestat looks like he got turned down for a role as the archangel gabriel for "being unrealistically beautiful in a way that would break diegesis"

[melaborate]

i don't even find lestat more personally attractive, if i was actually looking for a partner i would strongly prefer louis looks-wise, and yet lestat is absolutely more beautiful in the same way the moon or a frozen lake can be beautiful

i think i could spend an afternoon appreciating him from a medium distance like i would a masterful abstract painting that i cannot quite divine the meaning of but god forbid anyone ask me if id want to fuck him

interview with the vampire fandom discourse à la "X is abusive" "X is not abusive" is so funny considering everything anyone has ever said in that show is a variation of "my ex is sooooo crazyyyyyyyyy anyway dont ask her about all the shit i did haha"

the show looks you straight in the face and tells you "not only are these bitches constantly misremembering but theyre also lying to make themselves look good on top of that" and youre gonna take any of them on their word. lol, lmao even

do you take applications to be your dead wife

this is the kind of dialogue they give to repressed homosexuals in tragedies to let you know that they're not going to make it

its funny how the common dunk of "actually frankenstein is the doctor, not the monster" is an instance of extremely poor media literacy. like no, actually, frankenstein is the doctor AND the monster

My father once said the devil went down in Kentucky, and in Twink County, he liked what he saw. I certainly can't disagree—sullenness, blasphemy, and drinking abound there.

They ran the last priest out of town after a week. Now the bishop has tasked me with rectifying this unruly parish, but deep down, he thinks it's impossible. Little does he know—

you really want to dig 2 graves before embarking on a journey of revenge just in case your nemesis' child grows up to have a "cycles of violence" type of arc and comes after you. if it turns out that kid is like, middle aged you probably want to dig a 3rd grave in case theres a grandchild coming too

You can survive your childhood and escape the horror of your parents by creating and existing solely in a rich inner world in which you contain all your thoughts and feelings and this will not have any effect on your relationships as an adult
