Guys I think this is hopeless there’s no way we can defeat the Count—OH MY GOD ITS QUINCEY MORRIS WITH A STEEL CHAIR

[lightshapen]

Shout out to Quincey P. Morris for popping out of the shadows right when he's needed the most (a very American move) and then almost immediately clocking that someone or something is stealing Lucy's blood.

Man's got main character energy and that's probably why they keep leaving him out of the movies. He'd steal the show and ride off into the sunset with it.

My perfect mashed potatoes

The secret is in the water; literally, it’s IN the water.

See, when you boil potatoes, a lot of special starches and sugars and stuff leeches out into the water. When you drain the water before mashing them, you throw away a lot of good stuff, which is a big part of what makes mashed potatoes “dry” and bland, even when you add large amounts of cream and butter and things.

So don’t throw out any water.

Here’s how you do that:

First, cut your potatoes into smaller cubes than you probably do. (I’ve left the skins on for flavor and also, that’s where a lot of a potato’s nutrients are, like protien and iron and vitamins B and C, just to name a few)

The reason for cutting them smaller (besides avoiding giant peices of skin) is so that there is less space in the pot between each peice for water to fill, so you use less water to cook them. That’s important because you won’t be draining any water, so you can’t afford to have too much water! For the same reason, just barely cover them with water when they go on the stove.

But! Before you do that, put the pot on the stove with some butter, garlic, and seasonings; let the butter start to sizxle just a little then put most of a single layer of potatoes in the pan and let the brown and sear. Turn them, brown them on all sides, get ‘em fairly dark (I forgot to get a pic here because I was worried I’d burn the butter).

Ready? now throw the rest of the potatoes in right on top, and add your water, give them a stir. This way, you’re boiling in some of that lovely fried potato/french fry flavor.

Okay, so, as they cook, you may need to add a little water, not too much! ideally the very highest piece of potato will be poking just above the surface. Now, when your potatoes are really really soft, mash them directly into the water. Just pull them off the stove, leave all the water in, and start mashing. Trust me. At first you’ll think there’s too much water. If you get them mashed and they ARE a little too liquidy, just put ‘em back on the stove. You’ll have to stir often or constantly, but they will steam off additional water without losing any good stuff.

Now add some salt, and taste. Right?! And you haven’t even put in any cream or cheese or anything yet.

Speaking of which, you can use like, a third of the amount of butter or cream or anything, and they will still taste better than usual. So they taste better AND they are higher in nutrients AND lower in fats and salts! That’s a lot of win — enjoy your potatoes!

Fuck Columbus! Indigenous Rights! And happy Thanksgiving!

feel like it’s going to be impossible for the iwtv writers to resist mirroring lestat being dragged screaming from nicki’s arms by magnus with lestat being dragged screaming from louis’ arms by akasha.

in the book nobody shares coffins so louis and gabrielle don’t witness akasha abducting lestat, but I think it’s way too juicy for the writers to ignore the parallel.

Alive, Armand has religion, and when he loses that he gets education and wealth. Lestat is denied the church by his father, has no education and no wealth.

Armand is ripped from his homeland. Lestat is repeatedly dragged back to his homestead.

Armand is purchased from the brothel on the verge of death and thinks Marius is the beautiful Christ himself. Marius takes him to his home full of other boys, peers and comrades to him. Lestat is ripped from the bed he shares with Nicki at the height of his life, repulsed by Magnus’ appearance, and recognizes him almost immediately as a vampire. Magnus takes him to a home full of corpses that look just like him.

Armand fights through his entire death to become a vampire, quite literally crawling across the floor to receive the blood from Marius. Lestat won’t even ask for it as he’s about to die, refusing Magnus until the very end.

Armand watches Marius burn and is tortured by the Children of Darkness until he accepts their teachings, and lives by and enforces their rules in their communities with no wealth and no joy. Lestat watches Magnus burn and is left with no knowledge, no guidance, no community, and nothing but wealth and can’t even stick to the rules he makes for himself.

Lestat makes fledglings like they’re going out of style, two within like the first six months. Armand makes one. After like five hundred years.

Etc, etc, I’m sure there’s more
