the evil amulet is a classic but have we considered The Good Amulet . villain who switches sides because they put on The Amulet That Makes You Good and fell too deeply under its spell to ever take it back off and the heroes are trying to figure out how they feel about that ethics-wise
"During their first scene together this season, Lestat and Louis seem to have found an equilibrium. It’s probably sometime around 2022 or 2023, not long after their reunion in the season 2 finale. Lestat is noodling away on the piano in a beautifully accessorized Montreal apartment, while Louis provides commentary via videochat, proclaiming Lestat's new music to be (underwhelmingly) “nice.” Lestat asks him to visit, but Louis maintains his boundaries. In the background hangs a copy of Magritte’s painting The Lovers, depicting two people kissing with shroud-like fabric covering their heads, separating them from true connection.

"A veil will now forever separate our union. But it is a thin veil… and I am always on the other side, face pressed up against your longing." - Lestat's letter in IWTV season 2.
“You can’t fix him” I don’t wanna fix him! I wanna FUCK him! I’m a pervert not a psychologist!
“This kink is problematic when you think about it” ohhhhhh shit ok lemme head on over to the kink store and trade these kinks in for one that make my jackoff fantasies morally superior
Literally amazing that there’s a predator that goes “mrrp” and you’re allowed to have one in your house
Quote of the day
I’m seeing a lot of people saying this post changed their brain chemistry, and as a neuroscientist I wanted to say yes!!! Yes it does!
Wanting something requires dopamine signaling, but liking something doesn’t.
If you have a mental illness/disorder that affects dopamine, you might feel that you don’t want to do the things that you like. You do still like them. You will appreciate having done them.
Let your likes guide you.
(If you want to read more, here’s one experimental paper about it. https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5171207/ This theory called the incentive-sensitization theory was originally created to explain behaviors in addiction but can be applied elsewhere as well)
Rewards are both ‘liked’ and ‘wanted’, and those two words seem almost interchangeable. However, the brain circuitry that mediates the psych
jacob thinks lestat would die first in a horror movie because he’d put himself in front of louis…this is so crucial
„and Louis would let him“
“Do it scared” “do it alone” are all great tips, but my biggest takeaway from therapy is do it messy. This is especially true if you’re getting out of a burnout, which I experience often. Literally just do it messy. You don’t need to pick the perfect trail to walk, the perfect playlist to listen to, whatever the fuck it is. You don’t need to have a meticulous to do list and wake up at the exact time you planned and drink the exact amount of water you planned to drink. Like the biggest thing for people like me to remember is sometimes it’s okay to do it messy. Put on a random yt workout and just get it done in sweats. Do 5 minutes of a daunting task and go from there. Sometimes just getting up is a win during intense burnouts or depressive funks. Literally just do it messy.

yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
When I was in high school, I lived in a small progressive city in a spot of red. Our GSA threw everything into observing the Day of Silence, and blanketed the school in big, visible, bracelets for people to wear in support of their silent classmates.
On the bus one spring, on the Day of Silence, I overheard two girls talking about the fact that one of them was wearing a support bracelet. She said, "I don't actually support 'them', but, you know, it's basically socially suicide to say that."
And I was so, so glad. To know that I went to a school, in a place and a time, where people needed to conceal their hate, instead of needing to conceal their love.
I've said it before, and I'll say it again:
Corps aren't your friend. They have never been your friend, and they will never be your friend. They also don't hate you either. That's because they are not people, despite what SCOTUS may say.
What they are though are canaries. The tune they sing reflects on what's considered appropriate in the wider society. Not just queer rights, but immigrants and environmentalism.
The moment they go silent, you realize how important it was for them to be singing.
Honestly, bless Sam for stating plainly that starvation was part of the process of looking how he looks in this show. And bless him doubly for saying that it’s not healthy. The amount of actors who stay quiet on that part is staggering and unhelpful.
