why does oscar wilde take 150 pages to write something he could literally say in a paragraph
compelling argument
what does this say about victor hugo
no he was just french
R.R Tolkien?
autistic infodumping
Put this together and I dread to think how long a novel by an autistic gay Frenchman would be. :p
i think as adults it’s our responsibility to be nice to kids and treat them with the respect we wish we got at that age and im not kidding or exaggerating in the least

this is so fucking funny
“If someone asked me “What are the signs of love?” I would have said without hesitation, It’s the familiarity and the removal of cost, And to find yourself not having to lie, and the embarrassment removed between you two, and see yourself acting in your nature without trying to be something else so she likes you, And that you two keep silent and the silence gets delicious, And that one of you two talk and listening gets delicious.”
— Mustafa Mahmoud
something something devils minion works in general but especially in the show because daniel is the only person who is uninterested in Armand, The Performance. Armand, who grew up a slave, who has spent his entire afterlife since shaping himself in whatever image will protect him best, who dons the demeanor that will ensure that he is Kept. Daniel, who couldn't care less about the act, who is disgusted by the deception for the simple fact that it is deception, one of the only beacons of truth in a show that is about distortion. who looks at Armand, The Person, in all his awfulness and cruelty and monstrous vulnerability, and says i knew it, there you fucking are. and he does this after having been on the wrong side of armands real self more than once. there can be no more pretense between them. its just that daniel loves him anyway. this is because daniel, too, is a nasty little freak--
I am hoping they go full transgender with gabrielle’s story in the show. Anne Rice’s internal struggle with her gender is so *obviously* expressed through Gabrielle it drives me crazy! Gabrielle wears mens clothes and cute her hair every night and when it grows back she's DISTRAUGHT. No matter what she does, her body will revert back to femme presenting and it DESTROYS her for a long time. She seeks SOLITUDE for decades upon decades after that. Gabrielle is so trans masc I'm honestly surprised it isn't more widespread, but that's prolly because we haven't seen her yet.
rockstar lestat voice The children, they are calling me cringé... they are posting pictures of my face, magnifique, with my big blue eyes that captivate so many, and they are placing it next to a certain photograph of the starlet mademoiselle cyrus. they have turned me into a mémé. well. i can be humorous too, non? i am going to find the creators of this cruel joke. i will hunt them down. they think they are funny? i am about to be...hilariouse...
i think that the thing i love most about lbfad is that the women are so compelling. like. the cast is fairly evenly split (which can be a surprise tbh) but all of the major characters have really compelling lives and storylines! xiao lanhua of course as the main character, but then chidi nuzi being the god of war. her whole sacrifice thing. danyin being the initial low stakes antagonist and then kind of being on friendly terms and her whole quest to become the next god of war. jieli just wanting to run her shop scamming people but going along with xlh because theyre genuinely good friends. the women of cangyan hai. sansheng and siming dont have a ton of story but the little hints are COMPELLING! they all have their own rich internal lives That Dont Revolve Around Men. truly lbfad is one for the ages. and for the lesbians.

There’s a good chance Daniel’s mood ring eyes are just some special quirk he has (like Armand’s nystagmus) but I think it would be soooo cool if it was like. A manifestation of a more complex power; like why is their thing Eyes. What’s with the Eyes. And it just makes me think of the gift of Sight; of the way Daniel (pre-turning) was having visions of the twins. And granted that was apparently partly bc of being fed Armand’s blood, but. Vampire Daniel having visions feels fitting, especially when Daniel’s Whole Thing is that he can cut to heart of things, can pierce through to the truth. Suddenly he’s Seeing stories, narratives, without even having to dig for them; instead they’re coming to find him.
It also sets up a potential “madness” arc; Daniel’s living it up as a nepo-fledgling, reveling in being able to embrace that hedonism. And in the midst of all that, sometimes he just— sees. Strange visions, distortions. At first he probably chalks it up to the drugged up blood he’s been drinking. But more and more things start to unravel— he can’t find his maker, and it’s not like Louis ‘yes I hallucinated my ex again, no I’m not schizophrenic, don’t worry about it’ du Lac would know how to help in that situation.
It would actually be a really convenient way to introduce some of the backstory required for the qotd storyline without having to bounce around between characters. Daniel, like in the books, could have visions of the twins and Akasha, and visions of other important vampire players.
It also creates a parallel between him and Jesse, (she sees ghosts, he sees visions) and I think having them be foils (assuming Jesse makes it into the show) is kind of inevitable, bc Jesse is also the type of person to dig and dig and dig and not know when to stop.
And it’s the sort of power that honestly makes sense to have been passed down through Teskhamen’s line, given his role as a religious figure. And for whatever reason it didn’t fully manifest in Armand, and probably to an extent in Marius either. Maybe it’s because Daniel is Armand’s only fledgling, and his very first after 500 years. (Teskhamen was ancient but also very weak when he made Marius; Marius had already made Pandora before he made Armand).
I think it would be a very fun road to go down and to explore and would fold in well with the rest of the narrative. There’s just so many things they could do with something like that.
