love your fics and au thoughts! saw this post and thought of the shallergies moment when shane's mango time mangos all sucked and he was distraught

and maybe that could be a future mango time saving technique for him? like it's obviously gonna be a different experience than premium fresh mango but hopefully better than disappointing mango you know?

the idea of ilya offering this up as an idea because shane is SO disappointed in his mango

and then. it turns out. no reaction????

shane discovering he's only allergic to *raw* mango decades into his mango sneaking ways.

When I was reading The Captive Prince books for the first time, one detail that struck me as odd was that the Regent's name was never mentioned, despite him being such an important character. That is, until I got to this part:

Which reminded me of this:

And then it hit me. That was the reason. The Regent was a traitor, so his name was erased from history. No one will remember him. Not even the readers.

Marena First Kiss + The Script (x)

[harbingerofsoup]

gazing upon my dash in horror at all the posts praising the tvl adaptation for properly handling lestat being groomed and abused and how truly despicable and monstrous gabrielle is and realizing holy shit! rolin jones and his writing team really took a character who represents how the burden of living under patriarchal oppression can twist your desires and make inhumanity appealing and who, through vampirism, is able to break free of the roles of womanhood and motherhood in order to live purely as herself, and turned her into an incestuous sex-pest of a boy mom that everyone hates, effectively turning an entire generation of new fans against her character completely

and somehow i just have to live with that, somehow it’s not that deep and being pissed is an overreaction

[tasteofgrave]

“go to hell” is basic. it’s boring. “i hope your favorite book character of all time gets adapted in a way that has the majority of the fandom viewing them as a villain and rapist” is real. it’s terrifying. and it’s happening to me.

[rooksilver]

practically no armand. barely any louis and all he does is grovel. gabrielle reduced to a misogynistic stereotype and all complexity erased. one episode of nicki. claudia ooc and used only as a tool for the male mcs. lestat’s there but all he does is sing terrible songs and deliver cringe attempts at modern references clearly written by people in their mid to late thirties. dm rushed. lesmand erased. loustat completely unconvincing. existence of loumand completely ignored. gabistat disgusting. show quality not upheld. book not adapted. so what exactly have we accomplished this season and why

[funeralspirit]

they literally could've cut out all the concert & rockstar bullshit and they would've had a big enough budget for the important story beats. why is sam reid rotating his hips more important than all the character work in the books. it's so frustrating. they had the formula right there. make a documentary and let lestat talk in front of a camera with daniel and then flesh out the flashback scenes like in season 1 & 2. they had gold at their disposal

[glitteringpoet1685]

AMC really struck gold with the unreliable narrator idea because now people will insist that any flaw in the storytelling is actually a genius premeditated reflection of a fallible narrator, any pacing issues are actually a genius premeditated reflection of a characters psyche, and any lack of character development is actually a genius premeditated reflection on a characters refusal to face their own trauma, and having cheap looking production is actually a genius premeditated reflection of a characters memories, and any unwarranted deviation from the source material is actually a genius premeditated lie that will be proven false at some unspecified point, and any poor handling of sensitive subjects is actually a genius premeditated commentary on the characters own failings, etc, etc.

And it is exhausting.

“Let the tale seduce you!” My friend, the tale is not a good lover.

[proustianrevelry]

90 minutes later, when the tale still can't find the clit:

[coldopenadhddadjoke]

the tale is racist and misogynistic

no amount of sexxxy rockstar or sad complex white boy can distract me from that!

[ladypaperwriterson]

Yeah, no wonder.
