SHEILA ATIM as AKASHA INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | Season 3, Episode 5, "New York"

[yusiyomogi]

as someone who was in homestuck fandom and have witnessed in real time like the creator of the comic turned it into mean-spirited metatextual nightmare full of physically unbearable writing because "it's a character's pov" and started treating characters like real people instead of the narrative tools because postmodernism has eaten everyone's brains... i'm having flashbacks. i think gen x just can't stay away from postmodernism in the worst way possible. can we go back to satisfying writing and themes, please, i don't wanna be "an intellectual who gets the deep metatextual meaning of character pissing" anymore.

rolin jones would read homestuck epilogues and say that this is the best thing ever written.

You think armand could tell a group of women “I killed my boyfriend’s daughter” and those women would let him within a mile of themselves 🤔

[kabaks]

Just say “I could fix armand” so we can have a laff

THIRD HIT IN A DAY OMG

[cutter-kirby]

this is a moment in the original script that I wish they'd kept in the final version of obsession. the absolute disgusting way that real nikki appearing just becomes routine for bear and he completely ignores her in order to keep her. it's so horrifying the way her torment turns into something he hardly acknowledges

my sweethearts ;-;

when the movie dropped and me and @coldeveryseason spent like an hour talking about ldpdl(-armand) x nikki(-bear) ive been waitingggg for the day it came to streaming for this <333

[v4mpgrrl]

it’s so true!!!!! and u remind me when u said about this scene as well >_< sorry for the bad quality it’s hard taking screenshots on my phone lol

the disgusting self pity of why can’t u just be happy about me essentially kidnapping drugging and raping u every night then having the audacity to chastise her for her suicidality resulting from his abuse = will i be on suicide watch every night…. the entitlement of the Nice Man :’( also thinking of the hurry he’ll be back soon scene like these rare terrible breaks in forced performance…

[v4mpgrrl]

what do you doooo what do you do what do you do. when ur mind was not ur own ur body was violated in a way that walks the edge of presence-absence (<- the forced horror of culpability) and ur left with the mess and principally the guilt of it alone past the possibility of language or outside comprehension what do you do with the realisation!!! when louis says they found their proper roles in relation to one another the subsumation into nothingness how do u come backkkkk its so scary. i cant stop thinking about them!!!!!!!! i think maybe the scariest scene in the show or at least one of them is the 204 ending with armand looking like he viscerally just hates her so so so so much and 205 opens with louis' dreamy look talking about their proper places its just so scary. and bears actual hatred of nikki is so important. when i was reading last night about nikki's forced infantilisation its something bear despises in her because its a point of departure from what he considers the real nikki who was strong and combative and who he is being robbed of possessing with a pale imitation but its HIS imposition. men who hate their girlfriends dime a dozen can we please please get them out!!!!!

I actually think the lack of race politics is probably the weakest factor in rgu (as well as the fandom) bc like. the dynamics of patriarchy are in fact inextricable from the logic of colonialism in many ways? and so it makes me feel crazy that everyone in ohtori is always like “let’s kill the one brown girl we know with knives for no reason” and then nary a single fan is like “this is surely not motivated by any sort of visual signifier of alterity that she may be assigned by a racializing gaze” and in fact some of them are even like “everyone who wants to kill her is right for that probably bc she’s evil”

[nyantara]

thats because rgu's race politics is frankly bad and orientalist, see nanami goes to india to find spices episode. it is racist in a way that sort of beggars belief that the show actually intends to say something coherent about racialisation instead of just uh assigning the incestual sexual violence to the brown people in the show.

[saionjeans]

yeah, okay, maybe “lack of race politics” wasn’t the best wording when what i actually meant was lack of meaningful and productive race politics. because obviously making anthy and akio brown is itself a meaningful choice whether or not the creators intended it as such, and yet their racialization is never addressed, and the crass orientalism of that nanami subplot (in an episode that i would argue is one of the least significant of the entire show) being the only example of any sort of racial commentary whatsoever is clearly a bad look. i completely agree that the writers did not intend to say something coherent about racialization; it’s pretty clear to me that any sort of reading that can be inferred from anthy and akio’s racial alterity is one that lies beyond the scope of authorial intent. but i also think those readings that have been made over the years by brown and black women in particular regarding anthy’s role as a racialized subject are no less valuable for drawing conclusions and making connections from implications that are clearly present whether the writers intended it or not. im not saying that the text of rgu is itself anti-racist and performing such commentary — another example of rgu’s racism and orientalism is the egregious lightening of anthy’s skin in the movie, which serves no narrative purpose other than to piss people off! but i also think it’s a bit unfair to suggest that anthy and akio are depicted as brown due to their incestuous relationship when there are multiple pairs of incestuous siblings in the show, and their parallels to one another are central to the show’s themes. i do think the narrative choice to make anthy brown was intended to otherize her, and while you can certainly argue that this choice was implemented for orientalist reasons on the parts of the creators, i also think that reading further into a text that invites a multiplicity of readings and truly parsing through the implications of what such racialization suggests and entails can be a useful analytical endeavor, even if the writers may have been too myopic to understand certain implications of their own narrative.
