#AND? i love him

[atlasblue85]

the thing about Armand calling what he did at the end of ep6 his one act of cowardice is like... babe ALL your acts are acts of cowardice, every single one of them!

he let Lestat destroy the original Paris coven because he was too afraid to make any change himself, whether out of fear of retribution from Rome or fear they wouldn't follow or whatever other reason.

and then trying to let the same thing happen with Louis, trying to let his presence destroy it again when Santiago got out of hand, he was too much of a coward to ever face Santiago directly but he was more than willing to sit idly by and watch it happen.

in San Francisco he's too much of a coward to say I love you to Louis for Lestat. he's too much of a coward to let Daniel go and only does it when Louis invokes The Dynamic. and whether you believe Louis actually did ask for his memories to be erased I feel either way doing it is cowardly. either he didn't ask and Armand was too afraid of him remembering everything and it ruining their carefully constructed relationship, or he did ask for it and well honestly the same thing, plus being too afraid to deny Louis.

even his whole distaste at making a fledgling I think on some level has to do with him being cowardly, he's seen the emotional toll it takes and doesn't want that for himself or anyone else but I also think fears not being able to read the mind of someone around him, because he wants total control.

everyone on the show manipulates those around them in a desire for control, but in different ways and for different reasons. for Louis it's to have a sense of control and power he never fully had in his human life as a black gay man in Louisiana, for Lestat it's because he believes his way of life, whatever it happens to be at the time, is the best and only way and needs everyone around him to do as he does, for Santiago it's because he wants power and i think also feels he has something to prove as the youngest of a very old coven. and Armand does it out of fear and need for control. he wants everything exactly in its place because he has to keep up the carefully constructed facade of his life, if he lets anything slip the whole thing could come crumbling down so he gets more and more desperate to keep it as is because that's easier than confronting himself.

Did anyone tell Ford (bonus doodles: Family Movie Night, 70s Classics)

okay okay I know the point of this is “White people need to put as much effort into learning how to pronounce Black people’s names as they do foreign European names” and 100% I totally agree, absolutely good point

but this tweet becomes hilarious in the context of this clip:

anyways, absolutely put effort into learning how people pronounce their names. just don’t feel bad if it takes you some time to get it right 😅

(also in case you didn’t watch the video it’s “N-SHOO-tee” not “SHOO-tee”)

Men use “I’m just a man” to cheat on their wives. Odysseus uses “I’m just a man” to kill, slay and torture people to get back to HIS wife. They are not the same.

Is this anything

Batman gives each of his Robins a different code to use when they’re in trouble and need immediate extraction. He promises that when they call, he’ll drop everything just to get to them, come hell or high water.

Jason, during his time with the League, shares his code with Damian, to be used “only in the direst of circumstances, when you have exhausted all other options.” He doesn’t know if Bruce will answer, given how fractured their relationship was before he died, but it is better than nothing. Every tool counts when they live such dangerous lives.

Damian uses it exactly once, and Bruce, who still feels the loss of his son like a yawning chasm in his chest, responds to it even though he knows it can’t be Jason because Jason’s dead. What he finds, instead of Jason, is a boy in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-small feet, with a face that Bruce sees himself and Talia in, requesting asylum from a grandfather who wishes to possess his body. Bruce doesn’t question how this boy who is so clearly his son knew the code. Talia al Ghul is resourceful and places family above all; the code is not beyond her abilities to discover, and she is not above using Bruce’s desperate love for his dead son to ensure that hers does not meet the same fate.

Bruce takes Damian in, because of course he does, and since Jason is dead he allows Damian to keep using the code. After all, it’s not like Jason is alive to use it, right? If someone uses the code, there’s no one it could be but Damian, right?

The next time the code is used, Bruce traces the location to Gotham even though Damian was supposed to be in Bludhaven visiting Dick. But whatever happened that resulted in Damian being in Gotham can wait, because he has already failed one son and he will not fail another, his son is in trouble and he needs to get to him, he needs to—

What he finds, instead of Damian, is a boy (just eighteen, too young, but also too old, but also he will always be a boy to him) in League garbs, drenched in blood from the tips of his midnight-black hair to his too-large feet (when had he gotten so big), wearing the face of his dead son.

(Who, maybe, just maybe, may no longer be so dead.)
