i adore the way assad plays armand for many reasons. but one among them is the fact that daniel will insult armand and then the camera cuts to the babygirl supreme and he’s just looking at daniel like this

5 times Armand interrupts Daniel's online interviews +1 time Daniel gets his revenge

(Chapter 3 is now up, have a snippet!)

The interviewer is a person looking to be in their late twenties, with colourful hair and an easy approach, as well as lightning-quick reflexes and a good memory; Daniel likes them pretty instinctively and, because he has a raging ego, imagines it’s because he knows a promising interviewer when he sees one.

(A bright young reporter, if you will.)

The conversation rolls pretty easily, even when dipping into more complex topics, and the interviewer jumps pretty gracefully through a few technical hoops Daniel sets up for them just for fun.

“So we also hear some rumours about Interview potentially getting made into a graphic novel, can you confirm or deny anything about that?”

Daniel laughs a little.

“Sure, I mean, for what it’s worth. I don’t think I know much more than you — yes, the idea is out there, my agent wants to do it, and the publisher is loosely looking for people who might take on the project, but it’s all just very vague for now.”

“Vague like a longlist, or…”

“Oh, vaguer than that, yeah.”

“And what about that sequel?”

“I’m working on it.”

A beat of silence; Daniel is an asshole, remember?

“Come on, give us something more! Will the story pick up right where you left off, or will you go somewhere else? Or will you continue with the multi-threaded plot structure?”

“I’ll definitely continue with that, yeah. As to the opening, I haven’t written that yet, so I guess I’ll be as surprised as you guys when it finally happens.”

“What about the hinted developments between you and Armand?”

“Hinted as in, that paparazzi shot of us getting to third base in that night club? Or do you mean the book?”

The interviewer grins, showing off their braces, which have tiny little skulls on them — pretty awesome.

“I meant the book, but we can talk about that picture if you like.”

“Oh, I’ll take the book,” says Daniel, and the interviewer laughs. “And yeah, I will write about that, I just haven’t decided how much and which parts, which I guess makes me a raging hypocrite for picking and choosing which parts of my life I’m gonna keep private, but— HOLY SHIT!”

“Hey, you good?” the interviewer asks, alarmed. “What happened?”

Armand, that’s what happened. (And isn’t that just the story of Daniel’s life in a nutshell.)

The light of Daniel’s undead life has just entered the room, dressed to go out and sporting a goddamn knockout of a new haircut. He smirks insouciantly at Daniel’s reaction, going about collecting his iPad, like he’s not just… done this.

finally added that picture. come suffer with me

angst? angst.

summer, 1976. Daniel learns that his adorable, psychotic vampire boyfriend has never learned to ride a bicycle. Never even sat on one. Unbelievable.

So Daniel gets a pair of bolt cutters and shamelessly steals some poor soul's bicycle and proudly brings it to Armand.

Armand is reluctant at first, but Daniel persuades him, tapes a stick to the back of the bike and everything. He keeps a steady hold on it while Armand swerves and pedals way too slow and complains the whole time but never actually gives up.

Eventually, Armand gets the hang of it, and Daniel lets go of the stick, laughing and feeling proud -- he taught Armand something! Him! A 20-something junkie fuckup has taught this ancient, impossible being something new.

Decades later, twice-divorced, two-time Pulitzer Prize winner Daniel Molloy keeps a pink bike helmet in a box. He shuffles it from home to home, unable to let go -- he knows there was an important, heartfelt moment he shared when he taught his daughter how to ride a bike.

He just, for the life of him, can't remember what it was.

The odyssey of recollection.

“The Guardian has announced it will no longer post content on Elon Musk’s social media platform, X, from its official accounts. In an announcement to readers, the news organisation said it considered the benefits of being on the platform formerly called Twitter were now outweighed by the negatives, citing the “often disturbing content” found on it. “We wanted to let readers know that we will no longer post on any official Guardian editorial accounts on the social media site X,” the Guardian said. The Guardian has more than 80 accounts on X with approximately 27 million followers.”

also the way that our flag means death lets the characters do things that usually only happen in fanfic like what do MEAN the characters get to spend multiple episodes processing traumatic events and it’s an actual integral part of the storyyyyy

I am not kidding when I say that fandom has been a life saving force for me so many times. Having a community of people with the same weird little hobby is a source of joy and relief and a much needed escape from the horrors we face out in the real world. I’m grateful to all of you for continuing to be here.

I will never understand the hate for grey hairs. Your hair has sliver in it now. You have the color of stars on your hair. You have proof you survived and grew up. You have proof you are living. How is any of this bad?

THESIS: the real reason that people stay on this hellsite is not “chronological order” or “the drama” or whatever (per se), but is instead linked to how tumblr, unlike most social media, is not optimised to give content as short of a half-life as possible, but instead is optimised to let content continue to cycle for months, years, even decades. this has in turn led to a more consistent centralised site “culture” in which there is more coherent linkage among different areas of the site, thus also explaining why its content permeates so thoroughly throughout the internet.
