louis + cruelty
#iwtvedit#iwtv#interview with the vampire#louis de pointe du lac#grace du pointe du lac#lestat de lioncourt#claudia#armand#daniel molloy#I WANT TO BE CLEAR THAT THIS GIFSET IS COMING FROM A PLACE OF DEEP LOVE. i love that louis has a little vicious streak.#that sometimes he goes for the lowest possible blow. it's an excellent character detail.#especially since he usually works so hard not to do harm and to be the best person he can. it makes him so much more realistic.#when he's backed into a corner he goes for the throat and i think that's an incredible facet to him.#i support his wrongs etc etc.#if i see people using this as a jumping off point to hate on louis i will probably just start blocking people tbh.#this is not an invitation to reduce him as a character to JUST this#i simply like it when he lets loose.

the fact that shakespeare was a playwright is sometimes so funny to me. just the concept of the "greatest writer of the English language" being a random 450-year-old entertainer, a 16th cent pop cultural sensation (thanks in large part to puns & dirty jokes & verbiage & a long-running appeal to commoners). and his work was made to be watched not read, but in the classroom teachers just hand us his scripts and say "that's literature"
just...imagine it's 2450 A.D. and English Lit students are regularly going into 100k debt writing postdoc theses on The Simpsons screenplays. the original animation hasn't even been preserved, it's literally just scripts and the occasional SDH subtitles.txt. they've been republished more times than the Bible
#due to the Great Data Decay academics write viciously argumentative articles on which episodes aired in what order#at conferences professors have known to engage in physically violent altercations whilst debating the air date number of household viewers#90% of the couch gags have been lost and there is a billion dollar trade in counterfeit “lost copies”#serious note: i'll be honest i always assumed it was english imperialism that made shakespeare so inescapable in the 19th/20th cent#like his writing should have become obscure at the same level of his contemporaries#but british imperialists needed an ENGLISH LANGUAGE (and BRITISH) writer to venerate#and shakespeare wrote so many damn things that there was a humongous body of work just sitting there waiting to be culturally exploited...#i know it didn't happen like this but i imagine a English Parliament House Committee Member For The Education Of The Masses or something#cartoonishly stumbling over a dusty cobwebbed crate labelled the Complete Works of Shakespeare#and going 'Eureka! this shall make excellent propoganda for fabricating a national identity in a time of great social unrest.#it will be a cornerstone of our elitist educational institutions for centuries to come! long live our decaying empire!'#'what good fortune that this used to be accessible and entertaining to mainstream illiterate audience members...#..but now we can strip that away and make it a difficult & alienating foundation of a Classical Education! just like the latin language :)'#anyway maybe there's no such thing as the 'greatest writer of x language' in ANY language?#maybe there are just different styles and yes levels of expertise and skill but also a high degree of subjectivity#and variance in the way that we as individuals and members of different cultures/time periods experience any work of media#and that's okay! and should be acknowledged!!! and allow us to give ourselves permission to broaden our horizons#and explore the stories of marginalized/underappreciated creators#instead of worshiping the List of Top 10 Best (aka Most Famous) Whatevers Of All Time/A Certain Time Period#anyways things are famous for a reason and that reason has little to do with innate “value”#and much more to do with how it plays into the interests of powerful institutions motivated to influence our shared cultural narratives#so i'm not saying 'stop teaching shakespeare'. but like...maybe classrooms should stop using it as busy work that (by accident or designs)#happens to alienate a large number of students who could otherwise be engaging critically with works that feel more relevant to their world#(by merit of not being 4 centuries old or lacking necessary historical context or requiring untaught translation skills)#and yeah...MAYBE our educational institutions could spend less time/money on shakespeare critical analysis and more on...#...any of thousands of underfunded areas of literary research i literally (pun!) don't know where to begin#oh and p.s. the modern publishing world is in shambles and it would be neat if schoolwork could include modern works?#beautiful complicated socially relevant works of literature are published every year. it's not just the 'classics' that have value#and actually modern publications are probably an easier way for students to learn the basics. since lesson plans don't have to include the#important historical/cultural context many teens need for 20+ year old media (which is older than their entire lived experience fyi)

I have some wool socks to mend and I tried following some YouTube video but I am not convinced I did it right. Do you have some recommendations on how to mend woollen socks?
I knew what I was doing when I knitted these socks from pure wool. They are one year old and already mended in multiple places. It was a promise I made to myself, to mend these socks till they literally fall apart, if that is the price I have to pay for plastic-free socks.

Gobbled up the Dandadan anime and manga recently and absolutely adored it all. Not only does it feature the most likable and strongly written female characters I’ve ever seen in a shonen, it discusses extremely pertinent themes about consent and bodily autonomy from a lens of female solidarity while also elevating healthy relationships with kind communicative male characters who respect boundaries. It’s wacky, fun, gorgeous, and super refreshing.
#a lot of controversy swirling around but my personal opinion is that the story does a surprisingly fantastic job#with discussing the horrors of SA and violence against women without objectifying its characters#which is super new for a shonen the bar is definitely in hell but man is it refreshing to see abusers actually get punished#and to see powerful female characters who reclaim agency and uplift each other rather than rely on male saviorist storylines#written essays about it already per usual might blab more about it later but man what excellent character work#dandadan#dan da dan#okarun#momo ayase

OBSESSED. Hell yeah, go speak to Laurence you weird unstable creature. The way you draw Maria is absolutely stunning, I adore her expressions! I can hear their voices so clearly in this, excellent work!
A sequel to this short comic because I have jumped into the Micolash & Maria interactions rabbit hole and I have THOUGHTS.

““Ouch,” Warriors says, not sounding particularly worried or hurt. “You wound me, old man.”
“It always sounds more insulting when you call me that.”
“It’s not my fault you got old.”
“Ladies, ladies, you’re both very old.” Sky waves at them both. “Now, can we go?””

Just think though, Robbie and Liam were able to create such a beautiful romance between Orym and Dorian and keep it alive even while outside of game Robbie was gone for like 2 years. Like how impressive that they managed to build such a layered, deep relationship and bring it to such an amazing place after all that time.

you’d think after 800 years he’d learn his lesson about taking afternoon naps. / prev comic / follow for more sleepy xie lian
#i think xie lian and hua cheng are sleep deprived for different reasons. xie lian does get sleepy at like 10pm#but prayers will often keep him up past then. or he’ll get up at 4 for similar reasons#hua cheng doesn’t need to sleep. he would never pass up an opportunity to cuddle but when xie lian isnt there#you can BET he’s working on a new sculpture for 8 hours straight#or reading. or managing his city. or painting. or taking care of black water’s fish. or any of the other 8 million things he excells at#i think they’d try to minimize the times they sleep apart though….. theyve both been alone for so long :(#i am a BIG believer in hualian naps. what a luxury yknow?? when youre touch starved and busy all the time?? i want these men COMFY#ALSO TUMBLR DESATURATED THIS TO HELL GRRRR IT HAD SUCH A NICE GOLDEN HOUR EFFECT#tgcf#art#comic#tian guan ci fu#hualian#xie lian#hua cheng#san lang#hob#heaven official's blessing#tgcf fanart#天官赐福#mxtx#my art#lmao#tgcf meme

whatever. go my scarab
ive been watching scruffys pikmin 4 playthrough (go check it out!!!!)
#specifically referencing ep11 for anyone curious but i dont wanna spoil anything.. youll know it when you see it lol#ive never played pikmin and i already know for a fact id suck ass at it bc i can only do one thing at a time. i have zero dandori#actually i have zero interest in the dandori challenges bc im more focused on the creatures and areas. id be cooked#but its still fascinating to watch how the planning and strategy works in real time and goes so well with exploring#and if youre like me and has shown little interest in pikmin games his videos are a nice warm hug for looking into it#scruffy has a nice voice and explains everything like pointing out which enemies are from prev pikmin games and how they work#and pays special attention to the adaptive music cues which pikmin is known for and its really cool to see it dissected#his other videos also pick apart sound design in other video games i highly recommend his fnaf ones. theyre excellent#scruffy youtube#myart#my art#doodles#pikmin#pikmin 4#flying pikmin

Since Peri has problems with flight does irep also have them or is he fine
Irep's a talented flyer actually! While Peri's wings feels heavy for him to use, Irep's are light as a feather. He's an expert at navigating the air, and can outdo even a Pixie in flight!!
This has made him all sorts of popular and unpopular among jock-like fairies.
Bitties Series: [Start] > [Previous] > [Next]
#fairly oddparents#fop#fop a new wish#fop irep#irep#asks#itty bitties fop au#it certainly helps that irep studied aerodynamics when building all his lil machineries and weapons as a baby#he's really good at controlling his wing span and movement to increase drag and speed!#this anti fairy can fly backwards even!! that's one of the most difficult moves a pixie can do!!#irep was both popular and unpopular during p.e in school#everybody wants him on their team for Snip the Tail#but he's. the WORST teammate to have. that man hogs glory AND will sacrifice his own mates to win#so he's usually either omitted entirely or has to be nerf'd#honestly sports is one of the very few things irep can excel at#as its also the 1 thing peri sucks absolute ass at haha#although somehow irep's never able to maintain popularity over it. everyone always gushes at peri when he manages 1 score in#but never when irep carries his team#haha funny how that works
