This is so powerful, so beautifully played by both of them, the guilt is literally driving Louis mad, how he yearns for his Lestat, how JA conveys this longing. Such chemistry between them. The empty nights were made for thinking of him indeed…. Peak gothic romance.

If only Anne Rice had lived to see her vision realised, the commitment demonstrated by the entire IWTV team is wonderful, as a VC fan of over 30 yrs I can honestly say I never thought I’d see the day when the true spirit of the books would be realised on screen, particularly the complex characterisation of my beloved Lestat. Forever my favourite fictional character. Bravo Rolin Jones and team, bravo Jacob and the cast, but, particularly, bravo Sam, for realising the multi-faceted Lestat, the pathos and the humanity, the arrogance coupled with the fragility, this character that is beloved by so many. And especially by Anne, if only she had lived to see it. And now, I see Assad, portraying Armand so perfectly in the latest trailer, I hope, hope, hope we get to see TVL realised too, what a ride that will be in such capable and safe hands. 🤞🏻🤞🏻

I just need people to know that I am currently about 2/3 of the way through No Paths are Bound by @cataclysmicevie and I am being totally normal about it, it is not consuming my every waking thought, I am not wishing it was longer than 1,158,737 words because I'll probably only have about a week's worth of reading left and I have separation anxiety issues. I am fine. very normal.
#honestly haven't been this enthused about something i read since actually reading tgcf i think#i love it so much i just want to live in this universe forever#also this is why i will always hold fanfic in high regard#it is opposite but equal to original fiction#original fiction worldbuilds and does the plot and the characters and is a beautiful case of pure creation#fanfic takes that foundation and expands and sits in the universe in a way that is just magical#the warm happy feelings i get when reading really good fanfic like this are unreal#tgcf#hualian#i will probably read tcgf and npab once a year each at separate ends of the year now#i love long fanfic#all my favourite fanfics are really long#this is the longest so far though beating the previous 700000#hmu if you want long fic recs for many fandoms because i've got them

As someone who is emotionally attached to Eren Jaeger as a person first, and a villain second, I think there is just something so tragic beyond the level of sadness his character gives. He has been doomed by the narrative since the beginning, we all know what his end was going to be - and yet. And yet, the hope that maybe there was something over those walls that would not end up as badly as it did remained until that last frame, as forgiveness Eren would never allow himself has been bestowed to him. He will always remain as the boy who sought freedom, but in the end, never achieved it. And there is simple despair in the fact that he tried so hard to change, so hard to make it better and the uncertainty of whether that was ever enough. Eren never lies to see the day. And that, I think is both poetic and heart-crushing, because it represents the death of a dream that he desperately fought and killed for and that has disappointed him as he thinks he has disappointed everyone else.

Oh Sam Reid, how absolutely wonderful that you will get to portray our #BratPrince and his adventures in The Vampire Lestat. I have loved that book for over 30 years and I couldn’t imagine anyone else playing Him. So nuanced, complex and multi faceted, the character of all time for me. Your sensitivity and care in your approach, Sam you are the actor of all time for me. I’m just delighted! Anne would adore you! Bravo!!

Reviews (summaries) of a few of the drama adaptations for [Legend of the Condor Heroes]/ 「射鵰英雄傳」 from the last three decades:
*Drama posters are from oldest to latest (from left to right, top to bottom)
1983 version (starring Barbara Yung and Felix Wong):
Too young to remember and never rewatched. A feted classic from Hong Kong TVB’s heyday. The only thing I will unequivocally say I love about this version is the iconic theme songs, which are the only musical tracks I can easily recall and identify when it comes to the numerous adaptations.
1994 version (starring Athena Chu and Julian Cheung):
First love. Good performances. Beautiful and ultra-cute JingRong. Favourite balance of visuals for JingRong. Solid production (HK TVB). Newish classic. Faithful to the main storylines. The version which made me fall for Guo Jing and the saga. Sometimes, however, first love only goes so far.
2003 version (starring Zhou Xun and Li Ya Peng):
Gritty. Jiang Hu. Sweeping epic. Mature vibes. Tragic and heartbreak-tinged. Faithful to the main storylines. Brilliant JingRong. Elegantly cultured Huang Rong. Earnestly chivalrous Guo Jing. Love both the portrayals of Guo Jing and Huang Rong (despite the many criticisms received). Loved the veteran gravitas of many of the supporting casts. Performances were fabulous. My only gripe is with Yang Kang (and his actor, Zhou Jie, whose performance I was not especially partial to, but he did okay though). The best Mongolian segment(s) out of all adaptations. Favourite drama adaptation (to date). The main and ending theme songs are fantastic, and the opening track has quite an epic saga feel.
(Some audience disliked ZX’s portrayal, and criticisms abound about her using her own voice during the show - which is a bit husky - but I had absolutely no issues with it. I thought the criticisms weirdly petty, actually. As someone who does not find dubs at all nice, I appreciated her using her own voice/dub for the series. LYP also received his fair share of criticisms for his portrayal. Personally, I enjoyed both tremendously).
2008 version (starring Ariel Lin and Hu Ge):
An adaptation I skipped as neither mains appealed to me, and Liu Shi Shi as Mu Nian Ci was not enough of a draw to make me trudge through an adaption I read was not particularly faithful to the novels. Visuals and vibes wise, I just could not see Hu Ge as Guo Jing - which is simply a personal preference - but I do not doubt that his performance/portrayal would have been fine. That goes for the rest of the cast and their performances.
2017 version (starring Li Yi Tong and Yang Xu Wen):
Pretty. Vibrant aesthetics. Wuxia vibes. Relatively youthful. Commendable production. Sweet, lovey-dovey and affectionate JingRong. Cutie - and handsome - Guo Jing. Excellent Huang Rong. Faithful to the main storylines. Highly enjoyable. Main instrumental track a clever nolstagic callback to the classic Hong Kong songs/themes. Good production. Superb performances overall.
(I found this version’s GJ a bit too prettily handsome, which is lovely but also felt a bit not-GJ. Still enjoyed his portrayal a lot though).
2024 version (starring Bao Shang En and Ci Sha):
Strong Wuxia vibes. Solid aesthetics and production. Youthful. Squee-worthy JingRong. Adorably devious Huang Rong. Favourite Guo Jing and JingRong (to date). Wonderful performances all around. Faithful to the main storylines. Some distinct emotional beats.
Especially noteworthy was the beautifully shot and conveyed scenes from near the end during GJ’s mental and spiritual struggles with his grief and martial abilities. Superbly done and went to the heart of the novel’s themes.
Flaws included pacing and issues with storylines length. Uneven focus. Lack of epic-ness.
(Ci Sha is not really my cup-of-tea visuals wise but he looked and felt like what Guo Jing *should* be and his performance was compelling and layered. His portrayal embodied the 靖 of 郭靖, and I think that meant something significant. He truly came into his own by the last third when the confidence and composure GJ cultivated throughout the series made his nuanced portrayal fangirl-scream worthy. *fainting away* Love his steady, gentle and devoted GJ to bits. The focus and complexity they afforded Yang Kang in this version made him a much more complex and conflicted antagonist, which was fascinating. This Wanyan Hong Lie inspired major feelings for a character I already found especially interesting and tragi-complex since the 2003 adaptation. The soft-spot I have for him is too real).

thinking about paul atreides, the boy he used to be; the boy his father had wanted him to be. thinking about how he was so young when he was thrusted onto a path already set before him, one where he had hardly any choice in his own fate. the way he came to love arrakis for its people and its wildness, and the way he wanted to live that simple life and in another world, he might've succeeded in that. loyal, gentle paul who was given no option but to grasp at power in hopes of not losing more than he already had. the bene gesserit propaganda that he tried and failed to set straight, and the way his honesty was always brushed aside or ignored. heartbreak, startling and bitter, that made him lose every aspect of his identity until he slipped away into the desert.

dream life daydreams: being with your sp!
an “imaginal act” is a scene you play out in your imagination that implies your wish has been fulfilled. the scene can use any of the five senses, and can be as long or as short as you want; what matters is the feeling that it evokes in you! i like to refer to my imaginal acts as “daydreams,” because the word reminds me of when i was a creative child who’s imagination was limitless.
instructions: take these imaginal acts and put yourself there in imagination! tweak the details to match your desires, personal details, and preferences, and use the senses that you have in your imagination to fully immerse yourself.
seeing:
imagine picking up your phone like you always do throughout the day and seeing your background light up; it's a picture of you and your sp holding hands that you took last month on a date. your sp has the biggest grin you've ever seen, and is looking at you with eyes filled with love and adoration for you!
or, the inverse: imagine your sp passing you their phone to take a picture of them or to show you a text they got, and seeing their background is an adorable picture of you that they absolutely love looking at every day!
hearing:
imagine you and your sp are out with friends at a party or event. both of you are doing your own thing, talking to friends and making the rounds, but both of you are still in the same room and nearby. while you go to the entrance of the room to get a drink, you overhear your sp's voice as they talk to one of their friends: "seriously, being with (your name) has been the best thing to have ever happened to me. they make my life so much better, it's seriously crazy for me to believe that they wanted to be with me when i've been pining after them for so long." you can hear their friend congratulate them, telling your sp, "i haven't seen you this happy in forever!"
touching:
imagine your sp sitting next to you and reaching down to intertwine their fingers with your own. their thumb traces back and forth over your thumb, slowly and thoughtfully. notice how their hand feels; are their hands soft or calloused? are their fingers warm or cold? do they hold your hand tightly, or in a soft and gentle grip?
smelling:
imagine your sp going in to hug you, and their soft and familiar scent fills the air and warms your heart! what do they smell like?
tasting:
imagine your sp cooking your favourite food and eating it together; do they do the recipe justice and impress you? is it the most disgusting thing you've ever eaten, but was made with love?
bonus!
try picking one of these scenes and incorporate all five senses instead of just the one mentioned! does it feel immersive?
try imagining these scenes with your comfort characters instead of your sp! you can manifest fictional characters the same way that you'd manifest any sp; give it a try and have fun!
love, bunny 💕
