"I want my media to be historically accurate"

Cool, so you want natural fiber costumes with no/nuanced corset slander, people wearing colors, historical hairstyles, people wearing hats or headcoverings and long sleeves outside during the day, no potatoes or pumpkins in pre-columbian Europe, actors with textured skin and wrinkles, minimal makeup, consulting HEMA groups and weapons scholars for all the weapons and fight scenes, a good soundtrack that includes traditional instruments?

Oh, you mean you want 100% white people. Even in crowd scenes in port cities. There's a different word for that.

the writers did so fucking well at portraying and deconstructing the over abundant amount that lestat in the text romanticizes his abusers. he calls it the "seduction of magnus" multiple times throughout the vampire chronicles instead of admitting he was preyed upon. when you read the books you have to look between the lines of his flowery prose and avoidance but the show took a corny over the top music video style approach and then slammed it next to a full blown ptsd flashback to make sure the audience did not have a chance to misinterpret or mock anything and i respect them for that

Interview with the Vampire 3.04 The Devil's Road

[myguidingmoon-light]

damn The Lion in Winter (1968) really is thee film of all time. it's a 12th century historical epic. it's a dramedy about going home for Christmas and getting into fights with your family. it's gay. it's homophobic. everyone loves each other. everyone's trying to kill/imprison each other. Katharine Hepburn talks about wearing a gold chain from her nipples. she won an academy award for it. one of the most devious characters is just called Jeff™. Genuinely peak holiday viewing

if they insist on an aegon’s conquest movie it must have a 25 minute sequence of targs eating shit and losing a dragon to half blind old as dirt Meria Martell’s vietnam war guerilla tactics until they have to back off for 100 years or don’t bother making it

If you were the last vampire on Earth it would be enough. You and me. Me and you.

This was given to me by a marquis who was beheaded by a mob 10 years after he gave it to me. Oh. I love it.

sometimes i think about how my all-girls catholic school’s idea of a PE class was to pair two girls up, teach us how to dance tango (one of the most sensual dances) for a whole sem, and have us perform it as an exam with one girl wearing a dress and the other girl wearing a coat and tie and how theyre still completely baffled on why almost half of their students are gay
