Sometimes a ship post is just a vent post but hear me out:

Astarion thinking he's being manipulative when he isn't.

Like hes really genuinely upset about something that is of like minor inconvenience to Wyll. Blood drinking is a great example.

He's absolutely starving but he doesn't want to admit it and A) admit weakness or B) risk being viewed as too dangerous to have around because he's hungry. So he's just suffering in silence for a while until some how wyll notices what's up, gets him to admit he's hungry and then immediately offers to let him feed. Just because of basic and kindness it doesn't even have to be at the love stage yet, though this would absolutely probably persist past it.

But in his brain he just can't comprehend someone actually showing him compassion or kindness? Even wyll? So even though he did absolutely nothing manipulative just admitted to his needs he convinces himself that he is just such a master of manipulation he doesn't even have to try.

Thinking about the Dubai appartment again because of this excellent post how magnolia trees are believed to be the earliest flowering plants known to us, existed even before bees did so they had to rely on beetles that fed on their pollen Something about this ancient tree that predates the natural world as we know it, endured the centuries to end up in that cold, barren home. Something about vampires not reproducing through classic human means but through blood and the act of feeding itself.

why delena makes no sense. elena spent all of season 3 hoping for stefan to find his way back to her to her life, she had hope that despite all the bullshit they end up back together. the final episode she chooses to go say goodbye to stefan instead of damon when she thinks they're going to die she chooses stefan. Then bam season 4 happens and suddenly elena fell madly for damon . s4/5 just feel like retcons of elena character . being a vampire doesn't change you that much it just amplifies your personality . caroline was done well with characzation of girl turned vampire , elena was done poorly.. ever since the sirebond she became a different elena. s4/5 are crap seasons. heck s5 is just invasion of the body snatchers more than about vampires

I liked elena as an emotional vampire trying to deal with the whole effects of being a vampire but it feels that got the shaft when the dumb sirebond plot happened.. .

adding on i still can't get pass damon killing jeremy in front of elena the idea that she would want anything to do with him after that baffles me ... and he tried to turn her into a vampire at the end of season 2 but hen s3 they're all buddy/buddy bec klaus bascially kidnapped stefan to save damons life..i just feel there's a difference between empathy for a person and falling in love. learning damon was tortured in s5 if i knew my enemy/friendenemy went thriugh that id want em to hug em but i wouldnt forgive em for all the hurt they did to me.

. i just cant get on board delena after. the whole killing of her brother thing as an older sibling that will never make sense to me.

mfers who genuinely like ascended astarion have either never been in a toxic relationship

or maybe they just romanticize toxic relationships

probably both

What's confusing me most about the IWTV show right now is:

-why certain characters are behaving the way they are, since the circumstances and relationship dynamics and vampire powers and personalities in the show have changed a bit from the way they were in the books, and the changes aren't always easy for me to keep track of or understand

-how much these different character behaviours and relationship dynamics are because of the show making actual real alterations to the books' story, and how much are due to unreliable narration and edited memories from either one or more of the characters involved

I was talking about this with a friend but there's like. Different types of vampires - Theres classic horrific ones, usually having more bat traits and are monster-y - Theres the classic movie ones with the capes, pale skin, elf-like, still pretty undead with claws and shit and kinda monstery - And then theres modern vampires that are just kinda. Humans with two long canine fangs. I feel like they were selectively bred to have all their monster traits removed, kinda like people with pugs. These are also the most common in modern day.

“I could fix him”

Well I could make him worse cause actually, hes got a point

[fayevalcntine]

I know some fans have expressed hesitancy towards Louis' given memories/experiences in season 1 not being fully true and I know that some of it boils down to racist fans "being given reasons to hate Louis/Claudia" but honestly, I feel like that would also strip them of any chances to be fully complex characters who are also vampires in their own right.

When I consider Louis as an unreliable narrator, I don't think about whether or not this will absolve Lestat of his wrongdoings (which it obviously won't because there were issues with him way before episodes 5-onwards), but specifically about why he's doing this now and why he would specifically need to have such a story to grab onto, so much so that being faced with even just a glimpse of the reality of what happened causes him to be on the verge of a nervous breakdown. To me, Louis still carrying shame/guilt over the past, his nature and even his former relationships to Lestat or Claudia, make him a character that is filled with a ton to still deal with. 144 years of life and he still hasn't been able to even break down a small part of his own internalized feelings? That is not something that can be simply or easily fixed or dealt with, and that is what makes him an intriguing character that should be given the space within the show as such.

The same can be said for Claudia. I understand why some fans cling to the repeated notion that she only decided to kill Lestat for Louis (being his knight and savior), but that is frankly a disservice to her as her own person because it renders such a significant choice on her part to solely be Louis' aid/new guardian in his life. Claudia has her own reasons for hating Lestat, she has every right to despise him for condemning her to a life that she wasn't even warned about and for condemning her to a constant in-between state of being in a teenager's body. Add onto that his abuse and cruelly taught lessons to her. From Lestat's perspective, his approach may not seem as harsh as what he has faced, but from Claudia's, there still hasn't been a given reason for it. And even if there was, his approach is still horrible towards her. This is why her relishing in his murder should be for her own reasons for revenge and spite, because frankly she has every reason to be hateful towards him. Making Louis the center of her world and love within his own version of events frankly simplifies Claudia and her existence (and even apparent death) to begin and end with Louis, but even Louis isn't really honest about her or honest to himself about who she really was.

Also, I think it's slightly regressive to insinuate that only the white vampire in this ensemble so far should be as horrible, selfish, cruel and insane and yet still get narrative focus (even during his apparent redemption) whereas characters like Louis and Claudia should only ever have noble and pure reasons for existing and moving about in the past or present. The show obviously has a responsibility to give proper focus to Louis and Claudia, but I think that in such a show where vampires who've lived for so long have done things that seem insane to a normal person, they should also be allowed to be complicated, nuanced characters.
