and people try to call them vanilla... these two are crazy individually and even more crazy with each other! i would love to hear if you have more thoughts about the lack of aftercare and especially if it's angsty bc that kind of thing is my guilty pleasure in fics😅

Hahaha, revealing how much I've dissected that scene is a little mortifying, but at least the fact that I'm writing the fic about it makes me feel I can justify it, hahah.

And yeah, it's interesting re: the thought of Louis and BDSM etiquette broadly, especially things like aftercare and safewords, of which i don't tend to feel he'd have much regard for either. I don't think that would be out of any maliciousness, but more of a sense of feeling like these things have come in when you've already got a degree of expertise / feel you know what you're doing? Y'know, he was 33 in 1910, so he's a man coming of age and probably having formative sexual experiences in the very late 1800s and working literally as a pimp in that era. That's not to say that I don't think he grew and his sexual eperiences and understanding of sexuality - his own and others - evolved, but all the vampires are ultimately products of their time, even if they now live outside of it.

I've actually been thinking about this a lot as the next fic in the Spell 'verse after I finish the Cruising one is exploring both Lestat and Louis' relationship with BDSM. I've mentioned it before a few times (namely here), but I think there's a really interesting factor with Lestat in particular that he was coming of age in Paris when Sade de Marquis was publishing, who arguably is the person who birthed modern BDSM (BDSM has always existed in various forms across cultures, so he didn't really, but he certainly popularised it), and Sade's version of it really emphasised the sadism and cruelty in a way that's uhhhh, A Lot. I'm particularly kind of curious about it because Sade's writing was enormously fetishistic of rape, and it's interesting to think about that in the context of being a world Lestat's submerged in right before he's actually raped himself.

That's a digression, but kind of has been one of the things that's made me think about Louis' experience of his sexuality and particularly the fact that he comes from a space with a very specific vocabulary for sex and sexuality. Working as a pimp too, and having been a John, I'd imagine he was exposed to a lot (and tbh, I think it's where his baseline comes from when he starts that particular dynamic with Armand, especially given from what I've read in researching that fic, BDSM culture had died down in Paris post-WWII through to the sexual revolution of the 1960s as a result of the war trauma, although it was on the rise in other countries). So yeah, I think by the time there was this more contemporary language and etiquette around it all, Louis and Armand probably would feel pretty established in their behaviours?

And look, in terms of aftercare, I actually don't think Louis would always be bad about it. In fact, sometimes I think he'd probably be incredibly tender, but like with most things with Louis, I think a lot of it would come down to his mood. Someone sent me an ask the other day about there being narcissism in self-hatred, and that kind of hits the nail on the head to me - Louis is self-centred, he's the gloomy egoist! And I do think that probably carries over to sex a lot of the time. So yeah, I think in the aftermath of that 1.06 scene for instance, he was probably still mad at himself and feeling guilty about taking Lestat back, so I think getting Lestat cleaned up probably barely crossed his mind? He probably just threw his clothes at him, told him to get his things and had him limp out after him as Louis stewed on his complicated feelings of taking Lestat back at all.

I think in his more loving moments, he'd be more tender, but yeah - - I think a lot of it probably mood and context dependent with Louis, and I think he and Armand probably had generally pretty bad BDSM etiquette broadly, given even the fact that even being together after Paris is, for Louis, an act of punishment.

Your level of resilience will determine whether you feel worthy and capable of your goals and dreams, or unworthy. Failure is inevitable; it is how you choose to respond to failure that will determine your outcomes.

MINDSET FLAWS...WHAT ARE THEY?

INTERESTING READ:

There are several common mindset flaws that can affect people, including:

Negative self-talk: Negative self-talk involves the tendency to focus on negative aspects of oneself and one's life, leading to feelings of anxiety, stress, and low self-esteem.

Fixed mindset: A fixed mindset is the belief that abilities and traits are fixed and cannot be developed or improved. This can lead to a lack of motivation and a fear of failure.

Confirmation bias: Confirmation bias is the tendency to seek out and interpret information in a way that confirms one's existing beliefs or opinions, while ignoring evidence that contradicts them.

Black and white thinking: Black and white thinking involves seeing situations in terms of absolute, either/or categories, without considering shades of gray or complexity.

Catastrophizing: Catastrophizing involves overestimating the likelihood of negative outcomes and imagining worst-case scenarios, which can lead to anxiety and fear.

Victim mentality: A victim mentality involves believing that one is powerless and that outside factors are responsible for one's problems and failures, rather than taking responsibility for one's own actions.

Procrastination: Procrastination is the tendency to put off tasks and responsibilities, leading to stress, anxiety, and missed opportunities.

It's important to recognize these mindset flaws and work to overcome them. By developing a growth mindset, focusing on positive self-talk, seeking out diverse perspectives, and taking responsibility for one's own actions, individuals can cultivate a more resilient, positive, and productive mindset

Mindset: A Guide to Unlocking Your Inner Potential

"Mindset" is a powerful concept that influences our thoughts, beliefs, and behaviors. It encompasses various attitudes and perspectives individuals adopt towards challenges, success, and personal growth. A growth mindset promotes the idea that abilities can be developed through effort and perseverance, while a fixed mindset assumes innate abilities can't change. The positive mindset emphasizes optimism and resilience, fostering greater chances of success. Mindset can impact all aspects of life, including business, relationships, and health. Books, quotes, and mentors often guide individuals to adopt the right mindset for achieving their goals. Embracing a growth-oriented mindset can lead to transformation and a more fulfilling life.

Why Your mindset Matters More Than Talent

[reallytoosublime]

Maya was a dreamer living in a quiet town nestled among hills and fields. While others found solace in its simplicity, Maya often felt restless. Her life followed a predictable routine—school, friends, and evenings spent sketching vivid landscapes and intricate designs in her beloved sketchbook. But Maya kept her art hidden, doubting it was good enough for the world to see.

One day, her school announced an art competition, and the winner's work would be featured at the town's annual festival. Maya's heart raced at the idea, but self-doubt quickly overshadowed her excitement. She dismissed the opportunity, convincing herself it wasn’t worth the risk.

That evening, her best friend Clara discovered Maya’s sketchbook and was amazed by her talent. “You have to enter the competition!” Clara urged. Maya hesitated, afraid of failure. But Clara’s words lingered: “Isn’t it better to try than to always wonder what could have been?”

Unable to shake her longing to share her art, Maya finally decided to enter. Over the next few weeks, she poured her dreams of exploration onto a canvas, creating a painting filled with golden deserts, emerald forests, and cerulean skies. Yet as the deadline approached, doubt crept in again.

One evening, her older brother Liam noticed her struggle. “Every artist doubts their work,” he said, “but the ones who succeed are those who keep going despite it.” Bolstered by his encouragement, Maya finished her painting, proud of her effort even if it wasn’t perfect.

On the day of the competition, Maya nervously presented her work. Though she didn’t win first place, she earned an honorable mention and an invitation to display her art in a local gallery. More importantly, Maya overcame her fear. She realized her greatest obstacle had been her own reluctance to try.

This experience marked the start of a transformative journey. Maya began sharing her art more openly, joining art classes, building an online portfolio, and participating in public mural projects. Each step boosted her confidence and opened new opportunities.
