INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 1.06 | 2.08
Supernatural 2x07 The Usual Suspects // Preacher 1x02 See
Justification:
"It probably wouldn't save them in the end from the consequences of their actions, because each of them is still a mess of a person, but it would cut down on like half the drama (and introduce a new, more fun kind of drama)" - Anonymous
in light of Trump's inauguration speech declaring multiple national emergencies that require him to take god-knows-what executive actions immediately, I'd like to remember this chapter of "On Tyranny" by Timothy Snyder:
It's so weird to realize the impact Anne Rice had on the gothic genre and vampire stories and then have the inspirations be super straight. I blame hetronormativity and SMeyer.
Read the description and thought it was a still, so i just assumed op meant metaphorically unnamed layers.... also true
this has a million and one unnamed layers
How I sleep knowing I'll never be queerbaited by IWTV because there isn't a single heterosexual character in the show
To post this without tagging the episode is a sin
SPIKE FINGERING BUFFY IN THE KITCHEN????? IN THE KITCHEN. IN JOYCE'S KITCHEN.
What a tool...
Fuck, marry, kill?
The best ships do all three.
“buffy ended the show single :)” ok but only because her current love interest just DIED!! (he near quite literally died in her arms! in sacrifice for her!) her last words of the entire series were telling him she loves him and then saying his name in admiration. she isn’t single; she’s a widow.
Master list of my favorite post-series Spuffy fics. I may need a part 2. Long list!

So... (and involving both text, subtext, one-sided text, and some 'there simply being enough people who ship it to earn a spot'-text)...
(grab your stakes and scythes for this battle -> BUT ONLY THE STUFFED TOY KIND. Bonus points if they make clown noises when clashing against each other)
Broke: Tom and Greg would be obsessed with Interview with the Vampire (for the messy relationship dynamics)
Woke: Lestat, Louis, Armand, and Daniel would be obsessed with Succession (and TomGreg in particular)
Bespoke: each set of characters lives in a world where the other show exists. They are each obsessed with the other show
Is the appearance of Dreamstat in the Dubai apartment supposed to signify that Louis has continued to see this just nearly real apparition of his true love not only in the early days of dating Armand but their entire relationship???? I am only just thinking of that now, and thinking of maybe how unaware Armand really was of Lestat's appearance in their relationship

ive become such a spike apologist its terrible. spike will literally make a buffy-shaped sex robot to have sex with and i’m like but listen it’s because everybody told him he’s not a real person and can’t feel real love so he decided that the best he could do was to be in a relationship with someone who also isn’t a real person. because he doesn’t think he’s capable or deserving of anything else. because everybody TOLD him he’s not
A friendly reminder to USians: if you are planning to vote on Election Day, your mantra is "Nothing I see today convinces me not to go vote."
Exit polls suggest DT cannot be caught? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Exit polls suggest KH has it in the bag? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly red? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Pundits are saying the country is swinging overwhelmingly blue? YOU STILL GO VOTE.
Polls can be misleading (intentionally or not). The methodology can be biased (or simply poor). Early results may not reflect what the full count will show. There may be a red mirage. NOTHING YOU SEE CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.
The biggest Democratic win in swing states means nothing if democrats don't turn out everywhere to keep the reliably blue states blue.
VOTE. Wear appropriate weather gear if you think you may have to stand in a line outside (coat, hat, gloves, umbrella, sunhat, whatever, you know where you live). Bring water and a snack and something to do (book, game on your phone, podcast and headphones, whatever, you know what you like). GO VOTE.
NOTHING YOU SEE ON ELECTION DAY CONVINCES YOU NOT TO VOTE.
thinking about the difference between melodramatic, moody angel telling buffy he wishes he could see her in direct sunlight vs. spike just straight up scurrying around Sunnydale with a blanket over his head whenever he gets bored and wants to see buffy during the day
That's what True Blood was all about
why don't most vampires just find ppl who are into getting pinned down and bitten and drained. this shit is easyyyy
the thing about supernatural is that, if it were real, hunting as a subculture would have a lot in common with biker and cowboy culture. it already does, aesthetically and as a lifestyle. and that means that it would be full of gay men, or at least gay sex. if supernatural were accurate men would’ve been cruising day and night at Ellen’s roadhouse and Bobby/Rufus would’ve been real. unfortunately no one involved in this goddamn show except maybe late-stage Misha Collins understood that they were making a show about queer masculinity’s place within the American gothic. tragic. many such cases.
lestat would pull a pete wentz and say "I'm sorry every song's about you" when he knew louis was in the crowd for his show
holy shit, ally beardsley is due to stand trial for obstructing the freeway while protesting for palestine.
