#but now i Get It

[peartheshame]

i often think about that split second where orpheus has turned around, the wash of relief, love, joy, love, love, love that he feels when he sees eurydice. there is darkness and doubt all around him, the ache of his feet, the feeling of defeat, and in his desperation borne of love he sees her. and for a split second, love takes over. the last thing eurydice sees is love etched into every corner of her husbands face before she is dragged back into death.

It clicked for me! At the root of Louis character there is the struggle to free himself from toxic masculinity. Accepting his queerness, accepting his vampirism, accepting his feelings. All things he couldn’t do on liberty street because you couldn’t look weak on liberty street you never knew who was watching. You could be a lot of things in New Orleans but an openly negro, homosexual man? Most certainly not. The last person he felt safe to say I love you without veils killed himself in front of him. Being the breadwinner, being in charge, being in control, being the dominant one, being violent and pulling a knife on your brother are the only things you can be to survive. Show me the only way you know how to love mon Cher. Through violence. But Lestat challenged all of that for Louis, who is scared of the intensity of that feeling. Armand instead lets him tell himself a lie about himself that he is happy being all these things. Performing traditional masculinity. But he isn’t. And maybe Daniel is the first one in centuries that is hearing him talk about the most hidden parts of himself. Confiding in another being. A man. A lot of scenes this season where Louis is uncomfortable about his feelings. The scene with Madeleine in episode 6. It is a core part of his character journey this season: accepting himself. Embrace what you are. Vampirism blurring with queerness blurring with vulnerability blurring with need of someone to take care of you blurring with a deep seated fear of looking weak, of not doing what is expected of you. What Florence du pointe du lac expected of you

Honestly I don’t ever want to hear anything about Aemond being “bullied” or losing his eye. I don’t give a fuck. This psycho maniac massacred an entire house that were ALLIES of his— beheading every male Strong from old men to little boys and stacking their heads in a pile 3-feet tall— because he was having a temper tantrum after losing Kings Landing. Aemond had the most dangerous dragon alive and all he used it for during the Dance besides killing a child diplomatic envoy was to rain fire down on innocent civilians. Luke would have done the world a huge favor if he’d just plunged his knife into Aemond’s brain instead of taking his eye. I mean how much of POS do you have to be to make DAEMON the good guy in your 1v1 battle?

Nothing. I mean NOTHING. That has ever happened to Aemond in his pathetic worthless life even comes REMOTELY close to sort of maybe possibly justifying his literal war crimes. He’s the Westerosi equivalent of a fucking mass shooter. He cries about his stupid eye so much I cannot WAIT for Daemon to show him what a real fucking injury looks like as he plunges Dark Sister up to its hilt into his eye socket. The people who found his body were so real — they rescued Dark Sister and threw Aemond’s rotted corpse back to the bottom of the lake where it belongs.

It took me 6 seasons + 20 episodes, but I finally get the destiel thing

[wildharesandboundteeth]

Still thinking about how I was saying goodbye to Lord Ares after a conversation and He took the chance to say that I have good potential as well as encouraging me to keep going.

That moment when you’re reading a fic with a ship in it you never understood and then everything clicks and now you need to consume everything with that ship that you can

[henriettarhippo-hrh]

Was meant to write some fic today but last night I dreamt my childhood cat (who has been dead for nearly 10 years at this point) was not dead so when I woke up I was just sad all day lmao

I have had maybe two hours of sleep but I am here to catch the last performances of Lempicka on Broadway. Just got out of the Saturday matinee and Eden Espinosa in this role is truly something special.

without quinn in the house i like leah so much more omg. her hoh tiara and toys are so cute

I think Felix is doing the best he can, to be honest.

Not to make blatant excuses for someone involved with the Flinchites, but I doubt he could just quit if he wanted to anyway. I'm sure it's not as easy as leaving a two week notice, if you're allowed to quit at all (and they don't fry your brain afterwards)

But he is nice to the Mikes, even though he shouldn't get close to them he chats with them about movies and food, he tries their favorite meals because he's curious, he watches Westerns so he has something to talk to Michaels about. He's actually friendly to Base, not in the Ty Betteridge way. He gets upset sometimes about leading Mikes to their deaths. He worked hard on making a playlist for Mikey to cheer him up.

He also went through great lengths to protect Outlaw!Ty and the Posse in 108, covering for them, helping them get around and eventually escape to his best abilities.

In conclusion:

Flinchite Felix is precious and has done nothing wrong.

I don't think there's anyway Yamato doesn't eventually join the Strawhats. After the cover story is done and he's done his pilgramage of Wano like Oden, I bet something happens with Pluton and that's what'll bring them back into the fray of the mainstory and onto the Thousand Sunny
