"we're supposed to hate this character" weak. that's my WIFE you're talking about

Jeff Goldblum as Zeus calling all his god children to complain about the mean humans, but no one is picking up, and his voicemails get increasingly more frustrated, will live rent free in my brain for the foreseeable future.

i think i’m lowkey back to my versailles/monchevy/montespan obsession wtf do i do

[shivvytheshiv]

shiv roy might not turn out to be the best of mothers but you better know she will love that child with every inch of her fucking heart and that’s a hill i will die on

ok but lestat + daniel are absolute gremlins on tour and on the documentary set. like throwing chairs and interns and daniel blasting taylor swift songs to piss off lestat when he misbehaves

so louis escapes from all this just to quietly sit and read a book on philosophy of modern art or some shit next to armand (who's playing minecraft on his iPad with boygenius + ethel cain playlist definitely coming from his earphones)

and armand looks at him with a carefully hidden glimpse of bitchiness in his orange lemur eyes

“not missing the boring already, are we?”

[shivvytheshiv]

one thing that genuinely surprises me is how the majority of loustat fics i came across are super dark and erotic and angsty which is more than fine!!! but i’m LONGING for the comedic perspective what’s with lestat throwing tantrums and going full wizard howl and louis trying to make amends w/him and claudia/armand/whoever the fuck and slowly losing his shit? this being said i would love some fic recs

[shivvytheshiv]

During Lestat's interview in season 3 I need to see him just occasionally look off to the side and see Claudia booing and jeering and laughing at him. He would then proceed to start sobbing.

[shivvytheshiv]

i cant stop thinking about “love, simon” or “degrassi”-ish modern!au where claudia is like. trying to deal with her extra whiny fathers’ divorce (that they’re clearly not over with) her dad’s new annoying boyfriend (who the fuck is he) while making girl in red playlists & writing tumblr poetry about this fashion major girl

[shivvytheshiv]

Love when fictional men throw temper tantrums but ik if they pulled that shit irl I would hit them with a chair.

What Daniel came for: get laid

The only thing he didn't get: laid

What he got instead: unimaginable horrors and ptsd

[shivvytheshiv]

good morning, Daniel. you cheated on me in your dream last night. this is the reason you asked i stop observing your rest, isn’t it? i knew that “waking you up breathing hotly an inch from your face like a cat” complaint was a lie. i breathe coldly and beautifully. no matter, i forgive you your infidelity. do you still love me.

[shivvytheshiv]

their love language is deploying earnest affection but like as psychological warfare

so kendall has dealt with pretty severe anxiety for most of his life because that’s what happens when logan roy is your fucking dad. another thing that happens when logan roy is your fucking dad is getting told not to “be a fucking pansy” when you go to him showing symptoms of pretty severe anxiety. i think kendall learned young that the only way he could get attention when he wasn’t feeling well was to claim physical illness, which actually makes logan tend to him rather quickly (kendall isn’t aware, at this age, of what happened to rose, but he does know that his father is aggressively invested in keeping his children free of sickness). ten-year-old kendall felt like he was being clever, not knowing that, at forty, he would stop being able to distinguish between physical discomfort and mental anguish. the week after the vote of no confidence, kendall thought he had the flu; he didn’t, he was depressed. there’s a bunch of sandy-frank-karl-era acquaintances of logan’s who all think of kendall as “logan’s boy who’s always ill.” a couple of people (rava, stewy, siobhan) know that kendall is this way, but they can’t do anything about it because kendall denies ever having lied about being sick whenever anyone points it out.

If you truly believe that Shiv is the most evil person on succession I do not know what to tell you. Your soul is fundamentally corrupted and there is nothing to be done to save you from the delusions.
