i was talking with a friend a couple days ago about love songs and i can't stop thinking about this

[ariaste]

Me: [sees everyone talking about how Assad Zaman was "literally" coming up with RPF about himself and Eric Bogosian in an interview]

Me: ah, fandom's doing its little "interpret an innocent comment in Some Kind Of Way" thing again, let's go find the video and do our own critical thinking about what was actually said here--

Assad: What would happen if I said-- [words that cannot be interpreted as anything but RPF fanfic]

Me:

Me: ok fandom gets a pass on this one actually

of course the "i'd give it to you now" / "save it for the rent boy" exchange is pretty glib and nobody in the room is saying what they really mean or what they're thinking and it's also of course example #37 of daniel making a jab at armand bc he's an asshole. but it's like ohhhh okay so you have in fact clocked that this guy has given his life to love and serve louis and you think surely he must want the gift. because why else would he surround himself so closely with vampires if he didn't want to be immortal? isn't that what everybody wants? you think that someone who has devoted themselves entirely to the keeping and care of a vampire must love them so deeply and must deserve to become a vampire too? that the love and devotion is what puts them first in line? okayyyyyyy

Recently some green defenders have been a bit too funny and then say something along the lines of ‘’have you read the books?’’ . I have and yes Alicent is an abuser, manipulator and a villain. They changed her so much in the show, but in the books she is 19 and Viserys is 27 and she married him OUT OF AMBITION. She wanted to marry him, give him a son and plant it on the throne. Because this woman (she’s over 18, like literally a woman) bullied and mentally abused 8 year old Rhaenyra. She is evil and even tho the maesters are green biased and try to make out Alicent to be better and demonize Rhaenyra, her treatment of Rhaenyra was never denied. Like come on Rhaenyra probably just wanted to play with dolls and Alicent was calling that child a whore. Rhaenyra hasn’t had a moment of peace since Alicent came in the picture. I appreciate her as a villain in the books, because she basically wasn’t this innocent and poor girl we had in the show, she is purely evil and had one goal and she achieved it. But all the people who make out Rhaenyra to be the bad one (a victim and she is not perfect, because PERFECT VICTIMS DON’T EXIST) and always baby and defend Alicent blindly, no you are not cute for doing this and no Alicent will never be iconic. Not in the books and not in the show.

Interview with the Vampire 2.05 | Don't Be Afraid, Just Start the Tape

[mirrorhouse]

i can see 1980/1981 (around the time daniel turns 27/28) as being the catalyst for his relationship with armand starting to splinter, his resentment over armand withholding the gift coming to a head, the occasional running off and wandering starting before it starts ramping up in frequency. because it's when it really hits him that's where armand is frozen — 27 forever — and daniel's past that now. he's always been younger than armand both physically and mentally but now daniel's the one who's older physically. suddenly it's way more real that one day he'll be turning grey and armand won't and it fucks with him badly

Redd will never stop being the absolute funniest Animal Crossing character to me. It's illegal how underrated he is. He's got either a londoner or new yorky accent depending on how you read it. His logo is a blatant ripoff of Tom Nook's. He's fuzzy. He wears nothing but an apron. He's a bastard. He's clever. He's amazing at art. He does not utilise this talent in a genuine way. He painted the Mona Lisa at least 5 times but with angry eyebrows and no other change. He went to art school. He's divorced from Tom Nook. He has a million cousins. His old colleague now works for his ex instead. He lives on a boat. He has to hide said boat from Tom. He doesn't even know if half his art is real or fake. He's a kitsune with no powers so is essentially just a normal fox. He recreated an entire stone tablet and the only thing he changed was he made it bright blue. Blathers hates him. He's an enemy of the state. He openly admitted he was crazy before realising that was a bad sales technique. He replaced the adjective with 'jolly'. In old games people were blatantly racist against him being a fox. He has the same criminal motivation as Nick Wilde. His name is just the colour of his fur. His password is a spiteful jab at his ex. He's REDD.

He's just so damn FUNNY.

do you think armand ever regrets it? not stepping out into the sun while he still could, i mean. when he dragged louis back inside and he was kicking and screaming and he wanted to leave... he thought he did it out of love, out of pity, out of mercy even, like the angel they used to paint him out to be would have. or maybe, surely, he didn't think that. maybe he just tried really hard to. but it was envy, wasn't it, that louis could still choose to get out of their shared hellscape and he couldn't. envy not of louis, specifically, but of all the young ones. of course he couldn't risk making fledglings—that would only mean subjecting himself to eventually look on as they left the curse he's stuck with. when making daniel he must have felt nothing but paralysing fear and existential dread. one thing is eventually losing the person you love to age and illness, one is giving them the power to end it all and leave him behind by choice. armand wouldn't make fledglings for a variety of reasons, but his crippling fear of abandonment has to take spot number one.

While Vergil's social skills suck and I think he often has a hard time figuring out what exactly to say, I do think he genuinely wants to form close bonds with people.
