A Casual Lack Of Cruelty -  What does a kiss mean, when she’d just as happily murder him? (Svetlana POV)

Art by  @Doshiart bc this fic won the Gallavich Masquerade 2023, hosted by @gallavichthings

Tentacles, but Pronounced like Sophocles - Mickey Milkovich thought he was the only one. That the tentacles were something to be ashamed of and hide. Then, he found someone willing to show him the ropes.Also know as “Jesus told me I’m going to hell, so we’re all riding to hell on tentacles.”

Sex Toy Redux -  Ian leaves his toy out in the open when his roommate comes in to share the a/c.

Warmth -  It's a lazy winter Sunday.

Just This Once - Ian is married when Mickey drifts back into his life. As their friendship grows, Ian realizes he wants more, but isn’t sure if Mickey does. The uncertainty is killing him, so he needs to know, needs to ask, needs to hear the truth.

Come Over (Again) -  This is the first in a series of ficlets inspired by songs. I'll try put them all in a collection, but this one is first. If you haven't listened to Come Over (Again) by The Crawlers, you should start there. Also, I am not trans.

My World Has Teeth - Ian, an alpha, casually fucking a herd of betas/other alphas and longing for a real connection.

Mickey, raised in an omega training camp after he was sold by his father immediately after his relatively late presentation.

Who am I when I’m not with you? -  Prompt: Mickey has a case of doubt where his sexuality is concerned (this is after he asks Angie if she wants to fuck) - does he enjoy Ian because it's forbidden or does he enjoy Ian because it's his natural inclination?

So I live downtown, and there's a really nice church nearby. And their bells ring at what seemed to me to be random times. But anytime the bells ring for an extended period of time at what feels like an extremely random time I come to Tumblr. In case IT happened. I want to hear it from Tumblr first. 

[jackdawwhat]

pov you call your employer the cuntessa, you aired his marital drama to the entire world and now you’re making him a musical documentary, you have your Pulitzer and you’re going to get your Oscar, you love being a vampire, you’re not on speaking terms with your old friend or your maker but you’d fuck them nasty given the chance, you’re a fledging and you ripped off another vampire’s head to save your aforementioned boss while he’s high out of his mind. You’re the real cuntessa Daniel Molloy

step three: marry a girl with generational wealth

I’m sorry my lovelies but the reason you hate yourself is because you treat you like shit. If you came up to me and then told me I was a fuck up who could never do anything right I'd fucking hate you too.

[robotslenderman]

if you didn't let me go to bed until after midnight because you'd rather watch Netflix than let me rest, and then got mad at me for not being productive the next day I'd be PISSED

Love is a verb! Self love isn’t a warm fuzzy feeling, it is compassion and action in support of yourself!

And yes, this includes having compassion for the bully in your head. Unfortunately that part is also you and deserves as much of your understanding as the rest of you.

[robotslenderman]

via @corazondebeskar

This is the real reason why you need to be kind to the bully in your brain too, because that motherfucker is really good at doing a switcheroo when you're not paying attention.

Lestat's recollection of Detroit is honestly so fucking funny and definitely inaccurate at some parts

he's like "first, i took a piss in these eco-friendly urinals. yes, this is VERY IMPORTANT!"

"then a nonbinary vampire and her- i mean their- friend ALSO took huge pisses! she- i mean they- pissed hands-free with their incredibly strong pelvic floor muscles. yes, the vampire lestat respects pronouns, write that down."

"i always wash my hands after using the bathroom. even when i'm fucked up on LSD and ecstasy! even if the other people at the urinal didn't wash their hands! yes Daniel, this is VERY important to write down!"

"and then we had elevator sex so hot that the bellboy joined in!"

"i would have EASILY beat the Fang Gang normally, but you see, i did too many drugs and fucked too hard. it was the sex legs, i swear!"

[vamplire]

imagine going to an auction for your “deceased” ex husband who is also placing bids on his own stuff because unaware to you he is in another body meanwhile you are using the same continuous bidding as foreplay with your second ex husband over the same shit that belonged to your first ex husband who your second ex husband was also obsessed with. this happened to my good friend louis de pointe du lac

[i-know-the-enddc]

once the snap chat filter editing came out and we got a montage of sex scenes while lestat manically rants about his immortal erection interspersed with a single unexplained unjustified three seconds of a unedited png of a vodka bottle stuck on an unrelated shot that’s when I fucking knew that this season truly will embody the closest TV equivalent to what it feels like to read an Anne rice book and I’m so fucking stunned and amazed

watching the first episode of the vampire lestat is what i have to imagine those hurricane shots are like, where you get slapped in the face and splashed and you say thank you and give them money for it

[i-know-the-enddc]

what I fucking love is how tvl was written in the 80s and lestat is constantly sayinf shit like “as the kids say 🤪 that’s so rad!!” or whatever, and to me, reader of the vampire lestat in this modern age, that does NOT register the way anne rice intended it.

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.

but amc in all their incredible genius decided that honoring anne rice’s original vision of writing an extremely modern and weird book that fully embodied the era it was written in was more important then bringing back the 80s nostalgia thing that streaming services love and it’s incredible to me. now I get to listen to lestat say shit like “labubu FOMO cosplay reddit discord Gen Z more like gen SNOOZE 🤪🤪🤪 safe space pronouns donald trump labubu tiktok dance 🕺🏻” and suddenly I understand what it felt like to be a young anne rice reader in 1985. God…. I understand.
