i’m still thinking abt the debate we were having in the chat while rewatching ep 1 of iwtv last night…
i don’t think lestat made paul step off that roof. i think it is much more likely that paul was already struggling with the changes going on in his life — grace getting married and moving out, and louis being increasingly distant and evasive as he grew closer with lestat, and being the only one left at home and knowing his mother would rather he be institutionalized — and that those factors were the driving influence in his destabilization and suicide.
BUT. having lestat mess with his mind probably didn’t help. if you already hear voices, spending any amount of time around a vampire who flaunts his telepathy is going to fuck up your perception of reality even more. especially since so much of paul’s distress was rooted in his religious beliefs and we know how lestat feels about god and the church, i have no doubt lestat said some cruel things to him. but other than that one dinner, i dont know how much time lestat really spent around paul? sure, he could’ve fucked with him from a distance, or in passing, and i don’t think he liked paul, but i also believe him when he told louis he didn’t make paul do it. lestat has also lost brothers, and lost loved ones to suicide — even if he was going out of his way to be unkind or drive paul away from louis (out of possession, jealousy, etc) — i don’t think lestat ever Intended paul to die.
so like. i wouldn’t entirely absolve him of being a factor in paul’s death with 100% certainty, but. like. i wouldn’t entirely absolve louis either! he loved paul, absolutely, but pulling a sword on your brother and threatening him and dismissing his experiences and minimizing his concerns (even if they are rooted in hallucination or delusion, which, not all of them were!) are like. objectively not acceptable ways to treat your mentally ill sibling. and definitely doesn’t contribute to an environment where paul would’ve felt safe and secure and respected and supported, you know, all the things that combat suicidality.
and like. ultimately. lestat was a very troubling man that he met, on screen, once. even if he did continue to meddle, i think paul’s treatment from his family and the changes in his home life were probably much more significant influences in his ongoing mental state.
tldr i think it takes a lot to make someone walk off a roof. and i don’t think anyone is truly at fault for paul’s death, but i also don’t think anyone’s entirely blameless. and that’s one of many things that’s cool about the show. ambiguity is uncomfortable! no one’s hands are clean!
tldr2 Paul :^(
#this isn’t to say that lestat didn’t take advantage of paul’s death. he ABSOLUTELY did. but i rly don’t think he caused it#any more than anybody else did.#i just love the first ep of iwtv so much. peak cinema. masterclass in writing and acting and filming and music and sound and costuming#and everything else.#i could watch it 100 times and not grow tired.#izzy.txt#iwtv

Idk if this has been covered already but-
Does it hurt Mark when he turns into his eldritch shadow form?
Yes.
Very much so.
#asks are neat#shadow mark#To give you reference: his human height is 6'3 and his eldritch form height is. 15'3".#That ALONE is agonizing within a couple minutes#and that isn't even taking into account the antlers the spines the fucked up feet#the hands the branches coming out of his body#the hive going INSANE in his chest cavity#the snout the eyes the new teeth the tail#and everything else.#So I mean. yeah i'd assume that shit hurts /VLH

Okay no I need to talk about the book version of Howl's Moving Castle. I love the movie but the book has such a different vibe and you, yes you, should read it.
Movie Howl is a soulful and quiet. Book Howl is a drama queen and Causing Problems and has a long string of jilted exes and couldn't shut up if you paid him.
Sophie and Howl drive each other up the wall at the beginning and it's really funny. Sophie and Howl are (despite themselves) very much in love by the end and they still drive each other up the wall and it's even funnier.
In the movie, Howl has been ordered by the king to participate in The War, and Howl is avoiding it because he is a brave conscientious objector. In the book, Howl has been ordered by the king to rescue his lost brother from the Witch of the Wastes, and Howl is avoiding it by any means necessary because he is a cowardly weasel who wants to stay as far from the Witch as possible.
In the movie, the Witch cursed Sophie because she was jealous about Howl speaking to Sophie for five minutes. In the book, the Witch cursed Sophie because Sophie had been doing surprisingly powerful magic for years without knowing it and it was actually starting to cut into the Witch's plans. (Sophie does not discover any of this until nearly the end of the book, but the reader can start to pick it up much earlier and the way Sophie's magic works is pretty darn cool.)
In the movie, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens, but this is implied to be nothing but nasty fearmongering. In the book, there's a rumor that Howl eats the hearts of maidens because Howl started the rumor so people would stop asking him to do wizard junk all the time.
The book lightly parodies a couple of tropes from Western fairy tales. In particular Sophie has internalized that, as the eldest of three sisters, her "destiny" is to fail so that her younger sisters will look cooler when they succeed, which is why she's so resigned to the hat shop at the beginning. (Sidebar: Sophie's sisters come up much more in the book and they're great.) There's also a really funny bit where Sophie attempts to operate a pair of seven-league boots.
In the movie, the fourth and final location that the magic door connects to is some sort of black void / mindscape / time portal dealy. In the book the fourth location is Wales, in the UK, on Earth, so that Howl can visit his family, because from Howl's perspective this is an isekai story.
#also there are two sequels#sophie and howl aren't the focus but they're still very good#howl's moving castle#howls moving castle#howl's moving castle the book my beloved#diana wynne jones#<- also read everything else she's ever written#me#my text post

#yes i want things to be free like ??? that is not a weird desire#'but but it costs money to keep up' ok and? how is that my problem#the government has plenty of murder dollars they could reallocate a few to make internet services universal if they wanted#also these companies were perfectly capable of supporting themselves before the internet got drowned with ads so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯#edit: muting notifs on this post bc new additions have kind of petered out#so no one feel bad about adding something someone else has said‚ it is not bothering me im just trying to keep my#notifs page cleanish lol#also since i saw some people are being redirected to read my tags: firstly hiiiiii this is a special secret message for you:3#secondly i have learned since making this that the reason they were able to support themselves previously was because#of investors bankrolling everything#and theyre now finally realizing that theyre never going to actually make a profit and arent as willing to invest#however thats just a minor correction and doesnt change my overall point#once again. so many murder dollars#so thats why im just adding it here in the tags rather than making an actual correction#anyways . love yall 💕#origibberish#bigger gibbers

The only reason why transphobes always ask “what is a woman” instead of “what is a man” is because we all know that a man is a featherless biped.

I think that instead of being super apprehensive about Jason and him dating Roy, Oliver should take one look at him and then one look at Bruce and go oh, I'm about to be so annoying.
Oliver starts being so nice to Jason. So nice. Inviting him to family dinners. Giving him both his hero communications and personal phone number and telling him to call whenever he needs something. He gives him new tech and keeps updating his weapons and armor. He helps with missions and clean up and says nothing if Jason is a little rough, apart from patting him on the back and saying good job. He starts keeping his picture inside his wallet and has other pictures of Jason, Roy and Lian framed in the house and tells everyone about him. He starts calling him son-in-law first and then just son and then calls him a Harper and eventually a Queen.
At first it was just to annoy Bruce, but after the first time he tells Jason that he did a good job and Jason starts to tear up a little, Oliver goes oh no, oh I'm actually doing this now. This my boy now. I don't care if he and Roy break up or something, this is my boy now.
Bruce still thinks he's just doing it for the sole purpose of pissing him off, though, and he is so fucking mad. The Justice League meetings have turned into a Cold War zone.
Bruce starts to being so nice to Jason as well, forcing himself to ignore some of the more outrageous things Jason does, and Jason is so, so fucking confused.
#oliver seeing jason daddy issues todd: you're my son now I guess?#jason opens up to him a little about his childhood and everything else that happened and oliver is like bruce had you in therapy right#jason: absolute silence#oliver: he had you in therapy right? RIGHT?#dc#oliver queen#jason todd#roy harper#bruce wayne#jayroy#batman#green arrow#arsenal#red hood

I feel like people forget most trans guys still had to grow up as girls.
We were still forced to be mature early
We were still told to not to take up space
We were still subject to female beauty standards
Our bodies were still treated as inappropriate
We were still pitted against each other
We were still excluded from “male” activities
We were still treated as lesser the boys
Those things don’t evaporate once we transition they’re fucking internalized. I constantly have to remind myself I’m allowed to exist. We don’t stop dealing with misogyny.
