Bloodlust ∞ SPN 02x03

[ultrapoppet]

People act like Armand must've done some crazy mind altering shit to Louis to manipulate him but be for fucking real you don't need mind powers to manipulate Louis. A 6 year old could manipulate him. This is a guy who was in a relationship with Lestat for decades before he asked him if he murdered his brother. He only asked him about his maker because of Claudia. He probably still doesn't know who Akasha is. Armand straight up told him I know you murdered Lestat and the coven wants you gone and he said nah. Claudia told him Armand choked her and he said nah. He can read minds and missed an entire coven planning his death. Literally all it took for him to spare Armand was him saying they made me do it 🥺 and he said ok 😃👍. He met with Lestat and didn't ask a single question before embarking on the genius revenge plan of getting into a committed relationship with his daughter's murderer.

This man is alive because of pretty privilege and pretty privilege alone I don't know what to tell you.

And that's the end of it. There's nothing else.

[goblins-riddles-or-frocks]

forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.

Thinking about vampires, death, life, and the space they occupy in between

[bottombaron]

just me thinking abt the insidiousness of the Familiar Clinic

a place where every familiar is recommended to be put down

not because of any injury or disease

but because their vampire cared about them enough to take them there in the first place

[suddenly-frankenstein]

you're going to teach me how to be fascinating

[precalamity]

there is just something to me, how Louis and Lestat’s entire relationship throughout the show can only be understood as a pre-written narrative, warped and influenced and biased multiple times over before the audience is privy to it. but the one scene of them together that isn’t witnessed through the frame of narraration, in the Entire show, the only time Lestat even exists outside the interview — we don’t even get to hear what they say to each other at the end. once they’re with each other, physically and emotionally, for the first time in seventy-seven years, they are outside reach of the audience. You can’t hear them. It’s just the storm.
