love how lestat is consciously and constantly delineating himself in relation to his mother. the castle and his father’s lands constitute his entire world and in this insular environment his models of ideal physicality and intellectual prowess are formed in relation to the only person in the world who shows him any sympathy, the person that he admires begrudgingly despite her complicity in denying him personhood. he admires and resents her in equal measure, desiring to be her with a pathological obsession that almost equals his mother’s desire to be him - and he’s developed such an intense psychological investment in comparing his flaws to the material advantages she holds over him that he also describes himself as a cruder, less well-formed reincarnation of his mother, even as he admits that she’s wasting away from illness.
#she/her lestat is real ❤️#and consumption is a bitch!#text#I feel I need to justify myself about one statement. if gabrielle was really invested in empowering him she wouldn’t have been#mad at him for running away. also she should get a job stay away from him etc.#iwtv#tvl#gabriestat#lestat de lioncourt

2, 11 & 14 for the book asks 🤍
Did you reread anything? What?
rosencrantz and guildenstern are dead back in september in honor of pathologic month ❣️❣️ the fourth wall breaking tragic video game to literature pipeline is a very real phenomenon for me. side note: it's kind of a sledgehammer of a recommendation, but every ragad enjoyer should read moby dick :) much to go insane over in the "all the world's a stage" category of tales
What was your favorite book that has been out for a while, but you just now read?
reading daphne du maurier's the progress of julius was a dizzying experience, so i have to go with that one. it's about an utterly selfish man, an insatiable wanderer, stepping across any man made boundary in his path, seeking some indescribable and uncapturable world, and who ultimately meets his match in the daughter who is too like him for it to ever end happily. just an insane story that should be much more well known.
What books do you want to finish before the year is over?
don't look now and other stories by daphne du maurier. finishing short story collections are an entirely self-inflicted sisyphean struggle for me, but for daphne i will persevere. speaking of which, i need more people to read "a border-line case" from this collection!! it has some similar elements to julius, but with even more of an omnipresent dread, especially with the bergmanesque theatre motifs. also reading the final passage felt like an ice pick through the heart ❤️🩹
end of the year reading ask

every few weeks or so i become very distraught over not having any ss mutuals on here. and then i remember @fancifulpurposelesslovely :')
#one boy's room‚ summer#me is mark#and possibly gromky and tumblr user gabriestat mari........ one day#not that i really talk about ss that much anyway due to the fear.jpg#but the number of people who approach the book w/ a similar reading as me are so few#i can count on one hand#:(

many things going on in tvl, re: lestat and the enmeshment of his body and his identity with his mother. I’m thinking about how he’s constantly defining his physical attributes in relation to her. he’s attuned to her psychically too - he narrates his history entirely in relation to his mother: her defiance, he reasons, enables and legitimises his own defiance of the law of the household. they share mutual resentment and sympathy for one another for their various respective advantages and disadvantages in the social and domestic spheres of their lives. also what if you were 21 years old and you dedicated your body and life in service to your family and your mother had also wasted her life away in the fulfilment of her domestic and reproductive duties… as the youngest son with no prospects or tangible inheritance he’s denied independence and decision-making capabilities in ways that evoke gabrielle’s own powerlessness due to the gendered nature of her oppression.
it’s almost like their identities are so tangled up in one another that the book is asking us to interrogate whether they really have seperate bodies and minds.

Can you recommend some cool blogs to follow? My dashboard feels so bleak at the moment…
asks that make you realize how many of my beloved mutuals have a 'no new followers' policy ... also i basically only follow people based on vibes so if youre looking for a specific fandom / interest i cant really help you im afraid. anyway for unparalleled taste and narrativeposting (?) go to @chateauofmymind @dyouknowwhatimean @theatredelabsurde @obsessioncollector @gabriestat @emiliosandozsequence @dearorpheus @normalbrothers @senso1954, for musicposting (or RPF) go to @ailichi @paulmccartneyprostateorgasm and @supersonic1994, for lesbianism baby! go to @lesbianalism and @hangsawoman, for aesthetics go to @venusmoon and @shochet, for senators go to @stcantarella and @catilinas, for snape go to @alcoholicsnape @snapesque and @vorobej, for my misc collection of adored posters ive accumulated over the years go to @schwestermord @bredforloyalty @chamomillles @joanjonas @modernbutch @boyjehanne @dtwof @ofide @selfdigestion @hartenlust @homoerotisch @oceanmoss @degenderates @watermotif @lifespan @kikuism @engulfes ... this is so awfully long and im nowhere near my full list and probably forgetting so many top tier bloggers never ask me this again. 🤧🦅

#me is mark#had the paperbacks and/or epubs for most of these books rotting in a pile for a long time now#i'm not much of a reader unfortunately - more of a watcher#so it remains to be seen how much reading will actually get done in 2025#mostly it's a lot of non-fiction for gender & sexuality + popular fiction titles recommended by people i trust#i just need to start digging into gender/trans literature at some point. i've only invested time in the (homo)sexuality end of things.

it's funny that they used the same actress for christine and the phantom's mother because you know it wasn't a budget decision they just did it for the love of freudian nightmares... i knew this the second they showed the phantom somehow having a portrait of his mother and a dress of her that somehow fits christine perfectly
delicious poto 1990 aspect is christine looking just like the phantom's mother
#when he asks her to sing in the picnic because his mom sang to him 🤍#once again the dangers of mamma's boys. posting this with url gabriestat is validating
