I find the hate on Willow post-season 5 so funny because I was like damn this girl just like me. It’s like— evil arrogant amateur gay bitches stand up!

One thing I beg people to consider as we watch more of season 3 is:

Gothic Horror's purpose in storytelling is to make you paranoid. It's goal in making the audience feel what it wants you to feel, is to feel just paranoid enough you don't stop looking for answers. Something feels wrong? Note that. Something seems inconsistent? Note that. Someone seems like they are hiding something? NOTE THAT. It wouldn't be horror if you weren't feeling keyed up about it.

This would be a bad show if you weren't encouraged to ask questions. It's up to you as the audience member, however, to decide whether you're asking them in good faith or because you think you're being held at gunpoint. The show isn't over, we aren't even half-way through, that paranoia is only going to build.

To people who are not having fun, it's okay to walk away. It's okay to decide you're done for now. Unreliable narrators will do that to you, I have a whole post about it, and sometimes it's better to let your paranoia cool off if it's causing you real distress. I've personally done it before, and probably will again.

If you are tense, the writers are doing their job. Just check to see if you're tense because the writing got you there naturally, or if you're riding so hard on them doing it "right" you're going to explode if they do it "wrong."

ah, but the reveal in 3x05 is fucking insane. the realisation that daniel has never been without armand and can never escape him again! since he met armand in 1973, he has been entangled in him. he has not spent a moment out of armand’s grasp, and he has never truly been alone, because for 52 years armand was there alongside him. more than that, armand has guided his life, changed the course of his fate, the ghost of him everywhere now in daniel’s memories.

how lonely daniel seems when we first meet him in 2022, but now he knows he has never truly been alone. there is someone who knows him in all of his messy, human entirety. someone who knows the deepest depths of his soul. how terrifying that must be, how suffocating, how comforting. daniel holds so much shame for the choices he has made and the life he has lived and here armand is, saying he loves him, saying he has always loved him despite all of it. and if you were daniel, how could you not believe it? as humans we hold our mistakes and our shame close to our chest. it’s intoxicating to think someone could see that and still want you. armand could read his thoughts, saw him at his worst, and yet here is. in love with daniel. desperate for him.

and in all of this, daniel cannot escape armand now even if he tried. he is his child, he has his eyes, but more, his connection with armand makes the world fall away. he could run to the other side of the earth and he would still be able to feel armand. it is the most beautiful and unsettling dynamic of the whole show because now, daniel and armand cannot be separated from each other. armand has literally haunted the vast majority of daniel’s life, and now will haunt his eternity. this is peak gothic romance, reminscient of cathy and heathcliff. be with me always - take any form - drive me mad! only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you!

I actually love the Louis and Regina subplot because it really is a continuation of the way Louis has always treated women, as a source of emotional labour that he can throw money at and have them make him feel better. It’s Miss Lily all over again, it’s “paying a whore to sit in a room and talk with him”. Making Claudia was always about Louis’ feelings under the pretence of saving her from the fire. He wants to save Regina from poverty but it’s all to make himself feel better. She sees through him but she’s so broke that she can’t afford to say no

me writing any iwtv fic: what if- hear me out here. instead of drinking blood from the neck or wrist it's from the titties!!! groundbreaking. lifechanging. never been done before!!!

[comradesummers]

it's so insane to me that buffy just kind of casually mentions to riley in a random episode in season 4 that slayers don't make it past 25. there's a part of her that's just accepted it. i don't think she's actively suicidal yet, but she's no longer that 16 year old girl desperately insisting she doesn't want to die. as sad as that moment in prophecy girl is, it's also kind of hopeful, because it's still an instance of buffy valuing her life and autonomy and defying her horribly unfair destiny. there's something so much sadder to me about her having accepted the inevitably of her untimely death to the point that she casually brings it up in conversation.

they want to fuck each other so bad it makes them enact increasingly complex crimes against each other in order to prove that they’re actually the one with the power that they’re one DOING the fucking & not the one getting fucked over

do you think of me too?

[newwavesylviaplath]

one thing i'm thinking about rn. u guys know why brittany murphy died right? like you guys know pneumonia is relatively easy to recover from and what ultimately ended her life was her eating disorder. amy winehouse as well. the amount of alcohol in her system was harmful but wouldn't have killed someone who regularly drank as much she did. the alcohol poisoning was the nail in the coffin but she was already weakened significantly by her bulimia. eating disorders kill people even more than we realize just by exacerbating already existing conditions.

Your affection for your charge has rendered you incapable of clear and impartial judgement. You have a father’s love for the child, and that is useless to the cause.

Rest easy, Giles. Your watch is over. We’ll take it from here.
