Claudia’s plotline in iwtv will always be the most devastating in the franchise to me. she lived & died as she was seen in relation to Louis and Lestat. Their daughter/sister, never just Claudia as she actually was. She died for their sins to a jury who saw her through a false narrative. Never allowed agency over her own life, but forced to be a character in the story of Louis’ suffering and a bandaid to his loneliness and guilt. The moment she found her agency and happiness in Madeline, the sins of her fathers brought her back to heel. And when her story is published in Daniel’s book she’s forever immortalized through the narrative of the men that lead to her death. Men who, despite their love for her, couldn’t sideline their obsession with eachother to put her first.

The boy we met in San Francisco, the one who fumbled over his tape-recording device, who barely understood the meaning of the story he was being told... he’s still in there somewhere.

Having a traumatic childhood means you cannot talk even objectively about your basic foundational experiences without it being "venting", even if you're not actually venting. You just straight up have a huge chunk of your life you can't talk about, full stop, without it being trauma dumping.

And it not being socially acceptable to talk about your own childhood is super alienating. Sometimes people want to know why, and any answer you can give them is going to be off putting.

It's to the point I get irritated when something I said is framed as venting when I'm literally just talking about my life experiences, doing my best to keep emotion out of it.

when I was in high school, I overheard two older students talking about a friend of theirs.

One of them said something like, "it doesn't bother me that [Friend] was in residential mental health treatment, I just wish they wouldn't talk about it ALL the time".

The other replied, "Well, that was all of last year for them. So when they say 'when I was in treatment,' it's like when you say 'last year'."

I try to remember that any time someone says something that sounds Shocking to me. sometimes one person's scary special crisis is another person's last year.

shit that no one ever tells you: sex is a skill. People often seem to have this false idea that, similar to being an artist, you're somehow just innately good or bad at it. But that is definitely not true. Maybe you have some traits that make it easier (or harder!) for you to be good at it, but anyone can get good at it with enough experience and time. (And communication. A lot of it. Like, some people you will just click with and won't need to say much to be on the same page. But for other people, you might have to explain specifically in great detail each step you wanna take and why. And then maybe repeat it a few times because people can also be forgetful.)

all that to say, go grind out some sexperience with your local trans/gay/fag/homo/homie today

I absolute love the idea of no one else other than Fili knowing about the Kili x Tauriel plotline. Like post battle of five armies, everyone lives no one dies yippie and their all celebrating when Kili comes back hand and hand with Tauriel and they’re all like “Who is this????”

You cannot convince me that the Mithril scene isn't Bagginshield's wedding ceremony, Thorin looks like he is waiting for Bilbo in the altar dressed in gold and holding a veil of Mithril for Bilbo to match with him.
