Nosferatu (2024) Dir. Robert Eggers // Kiss Of Death (1908) By Włodzimierz Błocki

Lestat's outfit for the night he met Louis's family always struck me as a bit off-character. Something about the bright emerald green necktie and ring struck me as symbolic... and out of the blue I realized why.

He is wearing a carnation. And the main color that pops is green. Lestat wore the American equivalent of Oscar Wilde's green carnation (which no florist would sell on the New World).

Now, whatever version of the tale you'd like to believe, it has always been widely accepted that Wilde used the green carnation as a visual symbol for "his people", a flower of an unnatural color embodying the "unnatural", meaning the queer crowd.

Now, before you think "but, was that common in Paris where Lestat lived?", the answer is yes. Here is a direct and quote on that:

"The claim is often made that the green carnation was fashionable among “inverts” (as gays were then called) in Paris, with Wilde having simply imported the fashion to London. In addition, early sexologists tell us that green is supposedly the “invert’s” favorite color."

Long story short, Lestat came to his in-laws's house carrying the equivalent of the rainbow flag of that time period.

(Also, let's not forget Lestat is an Oscar Wilde fanboy)

I’m just a girl (rabbit)

at the end of the day its better to be hurt than to hurt someone else

you want to fuck him i want to unzip his flesh and crawl inside him and hide there forever

wholesome helaegon content..

when one of helaena's bugs dies, she's distraught and crying, so aegon gives the little bug a proper funeral and says some heartfelt words. then holds her while daeron lowers the bug coffin into the tiny hole aegon dug. (he roped daeron into it because he's the youngest and has a gentle heart.)

hookup culture is not for me. wdym you don't think sex is the closest thing to touching souls, wdym you don't think sex is inherently romantic, wdym you don't yearn for someone you love to have you whole?

I want Misha’s character to make a bunch of pop culture references that Soldier Boy doesn’t understand
