Now, the problem with having lots of writing ideas, is I have to focus on one to work on.
A side effect of this, is that the selected project immediately looses its lustre as soon as something shiny and new shows up. (This post is being updated as old projects are completed and new ones added). Now, for posterity:
who up uncling they vanya
gaguin is pure evil but im afraid his art bangs 😭
i knowwww his work is beautiful and it pisses me off because he was just such a fundamentally abhorrent person. one of my favourite paintings of all time is amrita sher-gil's self portrait as tahitian (1934) which is a critique of gaugin's depictions of tahitian women and girls (and it was known in europe in his time that he had a pattern of sexually assaulting and abusing women both in europe and in the americas) that acknowledges his artistic influence on her work but is critical of his racism and misogyny as she depicts herself as a brown woman in the self-portrait like the tahitian women gaugin painted, identifying herself with them and turning the colonial white male gaze (nonwhite women's bodies as things to be bought and consumed and traded like cultural objects) back upon itself in the european man's shadow behind her and the east asian panel she stands in front of (chinoiserie and japonisme being popular fads in france in this era)
it reminds me of faith ringgold's later commentary on picasso and his appropriation of african masks in his work isolated from their cultural context / putting black people and their bodies back into the work and placing the masks back into their contexts while acknowledging his influence on her as an artist
the paintings for reference:
two tahitian women by gaugin (1899) and self portrait as tahitian by amrita sher-gil (1934)
les demoiselles d'avignon by picasso (1907) and picasso's studio by faith ringgold (1991)
Me: I have no idea how to describe the penis of a character!
The dependable dictionary-thesaurus:
If Marius has Big Golden Peepers I’m going to blow up a building (I know there’s basically a 0% chance but I need to express this thought just in case).
NYCMidnights THIRD ROUND!!!!
Even if I LOSE TERRIBLY I still managed to get to 144/3813. Which is preeeetty good numbers for my first time entering. Shoutout to fanfic in high school because I absolutely CRUSHED a drabble, so 100 word microfiction is a world I understand. Making posts like this is probably my most instagrammy character trait? I’m just telling about a competition I progressed in? But who cares it’s my blog LMAO
“The Prince Lestat trilogy is less likely to be adapted because aliens are stupid” no, lame, however at this point some parts of the trilogy are less likely to be adapted because Magnus redemption arc will be a HARD sell after this episode. I mean, it was a hard sell originally but infinitely harder now. TPL3 has a certain “this might as well happen” fanfictionesc quality that glosses over the many, many retcons world building expansions, and the 29 years between books certainly didn’t hurt. But in the compressed continuity of the show? Yeah, nah. Hard sell.
Me: my tumblr is a place to share my original writing, and discussions of study. Not a harum scarum fandom blog for expressing inveterate and lackadaisical thoughts and opinions.
The Vampire Lestat:
David Talbot is toast!
Me: Yay!
This raises the statistical likelihood that in season 6 Daniel will end up possessing Real Rashid’s body, after said body has been piloted by Lestat for who knows how many episodes, with Daniel’s original body drained by Lestat and Rashid’s original spirit banished by Raglan James!
Me: NOOOOOOOO!
I enjoy the distinction between Gabrielle, a woman living in France with a French husband, and Gabriella, an international and cosmopolitan but originally Italian vampire. Something something Rice using a distinctly historical European name, but using the French spelling (why not! She’s in France! Her backstory is just a few paragraphs!), and that still being Gabriella’s human name - but then her taking on the more “traditional” spelling when she remakes herself. Which raises another question - was her name originally Gabriella and she was forced to localise it when she married? Or depending on her specific backstory in the show, was she given the localised French spelling as a political manoeuvre given her parents predicting her marriage to a Frenchman? Who’s to say. Either way, it’s interesting to consider.
What if we were still in love but we’ve hurt each other in unimaginable ways and I didn’t expect to see you after you revealed the most intimate parts of my soul to the world and I miss you terribly and you’re not suing me for damaging your hotel and we’re no strings fucking our lawyers. And we’re both vampires.
If your vampire show doesn’t have,
Black capitalists,
French sluts,
The worlds best investigative reporter,
and “Perverts” who are never beating the allegations,
Why would I watch it?
we need to bring back actors not playing a single sexually normal character in their entire career
I wonder how many drafts it took before “fag” was removed from Butterscotch Bitch
I’d like to formally thank everyone for NOT posting about IWTV season three yet, universally, nobody is posting about it yet, nobody is allowed to post about it until my Pandora essay is done, I swear to Maharet guys I’m trusting you, it’s me and a massive international fandom against the world, we can react to episode one on Tuesday 9th 00:00am AEST (after I’ve submitted my essay)
Yes, the title is from Butterscotch Bitch. Never doubt me. Everyone is free to post thank you for Not Posting, something people definitely did out of respect for me personally <3

Imagine how many great, weird, awesome stories would exist if writers actually wrote instead of scrolling on tumblr
u know what i didn't come here to be attacked like this
