Scary Sunset.
I'm concepting things way outta order in this story, but I'm sure you can piece things together. Context is for a storybeat where, after defeating and capturing Adagio (thus having all three sirens in her possession), Sunset enacts her revenge plot to release the sirens on Canterlot as Thea discovers she's been manipulated. In a confrontation, the two scuffle and fight over the siren orbs while Sunset struggles with her conflicting wants and emotions.
#mlp#sunset shimmer#twilight sparkle#twiset#the orbs are the glass balls sunset carries on her back btw its in her cast line up art#deep down sunset hates thea. she was named âtwilightâ by celestia. the time of day succeeding sunset. she was always her replacement#but at this point in the story sunset's also fallen for thea. so it's also a conflict of wills in sunset. love or hatred.#hence the âdon't make me do thisâ language. she's rationalizing her hatred and violence as thea forcing her hand and getting in her way#when in reality she doesn't need to do any of this. it's her last stand and outburst to cling to a life of revenge that she's grown too#fond of. because she knows thea has the power to change that and disrupt her identity as a pathetic victim who fell from glory#and that's scary. thea's a very scary thing to sunset because suddenly sunset wants something and to be someone new.#she suddenly wants to change. to be better for someone else. and she never thought or believed that could be an option for her#anyways toxic yuri yayyy#my art#the grand galloping 20s#character design#i hope i got across the pained conflicted emotions in sunset's face tho i belabored over them these past 3 days#i hope a look of anger and dissonance and guilt and âoh god i don't really wanna hurt you please just obey meâ while trying to intimidate#is readable. if so it's all in the eyebrows babey

Steve constantly wakes up with the worst bed head, it's chronic it's unavoidable and it's why he's maticulous about styling it
Eddie stays over for the first time and has mentally prepared himself for the beautiful sleep rumpled God Steve must look like in the morning only to be met with Steve's hair sticking up every which way and somehow defying gravity in the most horrendous way
He can't help but laugh his ass off
#its only gotten worse since the nightmares started#steve makes the sadest little pouty face#because he was not expecting to get laughed at first thing in the morning#steves bedhead slowly becomes one of eddies favorite things#because so few people ever get to see its full glory#eddie munson#steddie#steve harrington#stranger things

âSo that day, in music assembly, the teacher asked who knew the valley song. Your hand shot right up in the air. She stood you up on a stool and had you sing it for us. And I swear, every bird outside the windows fell silent,â Peeta says.
When Primâs name is called for the 74th reaping, Katniss sweeps Prim behind her, Volunteers in her place, stands up on the stage, and when Effie calls for applause, District 12 takes part in the boldest form of dissent they can manage. Silence.
#these are mostly contrasting events that parallel each other#the excitement of being a child and knowing the answer#vs the dread of knowing her sisters in danger#sheâs no longer a child and knows sheâs facing her likely death#standing on a chair in pride#vs Effie mistaking Katniss eagerness for desire for glory#the birds captivated by the song#vs the District citizens mounting a protest#Katniss Everdeen#thg#the valley song#The Hunger Games#primrose everdeen#74th hunger games#thg meta

Nothing will beat Moon Dong-eun showing Yeon-jin that her mother doesnât care about her.
Nothing.
That was her ultimate revenge.
The one person Yeon-jin always thought she had in her corner to help her, the one person she always ran to, betrayed her.
Nothing hurts more than knowing your mother chose herself over you.
#the fact that she didnât even need the name tag#but wanted to show yeon jins bitchass her mothers true face will never not be funny to me#park yeon jin#kdrama#spoilers#the glory#the glory spoilers#moon dong eun

Hi! As someone just coming into reading the books but who's been with the show since day 1, I'm curious about why people take Lestat's narrative in TVL with 100% sincerity when the premise of the show seems to be interrogating the dissonance that everybody's versions create. Obviously there's some big things that are definitely going to be true, but I'd personally be disappointed if we got a straight adaptation of unfiltered Lestat perspective on events, haha!
I think you're conflating sincerity with some idea of omniscient, objective accuracy, which, as you note, is a useless thing to search for in a show where memory is continually shown to be an unreliable monster.
Lestat's version of events in TVL is sincere, though. He's speaking from the heart and he's trying to give the story of his life, mostly by sharing his truth about what his life before meeting Louis was like, and in part by filling in the gaps Louis leaves us with about what happened at Rue Royale. His recollection may turn out to be as faulty and biased as Louis' or Armand's has been shown to be in the show, but that doesn't make it any less sincere.
And I'm not implying that Louis is lying or anything. I'm talking about him not mentioning or glossing over the happy memories that meant a lot to Lestat and made up, for him, a big part of what it was to share a home with Louis and Claudia for so long. Giving Lestat the space to talk about his love for Louis and Claudia doesn't erase the abuse he inflicted on them in those moments of instability and rage. I don't get why people are so resistant to seeing that. It's not like it makes everything better. If anything, it makes it worse that he loved them so much.
What's important to note, too, is that at no point does Lestat in his retelling excuse himself for anything he did to Louis and Claudia and I doubt very much we would see him do that in future seasons of the show. Lestat even says it himself that he deserved what Claudia did to him. The way things worked out between the three of them is his greatest, deepest regret and it will haunt him for the rest of his immortal life.
Also, not for nothing, what we've gotten this season and last season are the unfiltered perspectives of Louis, Claudia, and Armand. That's not to say they're lying or intentionally obfuscating (okay, well, Armand totally is), but that is what we got---a narrative that was really challenged only by Daniel and not by anyone who was actually there who remembers it differently. I don't see why we shouldn't also get Lestat's unfiltered version, especially considered he is the main protagonist of the Vampire Chronicles series going forward.
For me and many others, it's not about excusing anything. It's all about contextualizing his decisions. Like, Lestat didn't just wake up one day and decide it would be fun to destroy his family. I want him to tell me in his own words (which, as a reminder, he has yet to do at any point in this series so far) what drove him to do the horrible things he did and how he really feels about it. When we do hopefully get that, I expect the fandom to interrogate his accounts as vigorously as they did Louis' and Armand's and Claudia's.
And to answer your question regarding the books specifically, we have Anne herself to blame for that. She wrote IWTV when she was battling some of the most intense grief and despair a person can feel. She had just lost her child. Writing the book was an outlet for that and you can feel it as you read Louis' perspective. When she decided to continue the series, though, she changed her mind about a lot of things---mainly who Lestat was as a character and how she had come to hate the "weakness" in Louis (which was really because she came to hate the "weakness" she saw in herself as she came out on the other side of her grief and identified with him less and Lestat more). There is a very real dissonance between who Lestat is in IWTV and who he is in TVL and beyond. The way she accounted for that in her own writing was that Louis was misconstruing certain events by leaving things out or straight up making things up like their reunion in NOLA at the end of IWTV, which Lestat claims never happened. The reason people take Lestat's words at face value sometimes isn't usually because they hate Louis or think he lied about Lestat's abuse. It's because Anne, as the writer of the story, wanted the reader to doubt Louis' version in favor of Lestat's because she had changed her mind about the direction of the story and the characters she created.
It's also worth noting that, in the actual text of the show, that version of events taken from the book, the content of the original interview, is described by Louis himself as an admitted performance. I think it's a perfectly legitimate reading to consider IWTV (the book) in the context of Louis trying to get Lestat's attention with something he knew would upset him, like Armand suggests was Louis' fantasy, because he wanted or needed to see him again.
This got long and rambley so I'll just leave you with the wise, wise words of Samothy Reid when asked to give one truth and one lie in the show: Everybody lies. Everybody lies.
I don't think that will change if we finally get Lestat's POV so imo people should just relax and enjoy the ride.
#interview with the vampire#iwtv#loustat#iwtv meta#lestat de lioncourt#louis de pointe du lac#iwtv spoilers#i guess#i just don't relate to people who don't want to see Lestat tell his side of the story#i've been waiting for that for fifteen years#more like twenty if you count since i watched the movie for the first time#like sorry i'm supposed to take ARMAND at face value but i can't hear out Lestat?#insanity#absolute insanity#i do love mess tho#and i can't wait to see him in all his pony on amphetamines glory

The idea that GRRM is anti Tolkien is particularly funny because ASOIAF is sprinkled with rather intricate (and even passionate) homages to LOTR. And I canât help but think of how Tolkienâs Fellowship, more specifically the Hobbits, may have inspired GRRMâs Nightâs Watch. Jon Snow, for starters, is in many ways a combination of LOTRâs Frodo and Aragorn. And in the same way that Frodo, Sam, Merry, and Pippin are unexpected heroes in LOTR (because who looks to a hobbit as the face of an epic adventure?), Jon the bastard becomes the leader of a ragtag of socially disenfranchised men (in the form of the NW) who are anything but heroic. Sure thereâs the odd knight or noble in there, but the NW is quite full of criminals and the very worst of the social order. The hobbits arenât the strongest or the sharpest but they become the face of the fight against Sauron. And the NW, while being severely undermanned and under-equipped, has become the main force that stands against winter. GRRM even adds a love letter to Tolkienâs Sam Gamgee by adding his on Sam - Sam Tarly - who acts as a moral compass and counselor to Jon, in the same ways that Sam Gamgee is key to Frodoâs journey. And just like Frodo, Jon gets his very own pair of jokester friends, one of whine is even named Pyp. So itâs all very beautiful and nice, and we should talk about it more because itâs super evident that GRRM is a massive Tolkien fanboy. But I do have to say tho, GRRMâs take on Gandalf is exceedingly hilarious just because Melisandre is famously very bad at her job.
#asoiaf#lord of the rings#lotr#Gandalf - old and scary and very competent at his job#Mel - very old very scary and displays varying levels of competence#jokes aside another cool parallel between Jon and Frodo is that both#choose to embark on this dangerous journey because who else will do it?#Lots of arguing about who will destroy the ring who should have it etc and Frodo is just like#Iâm ready to do what needs to be done even if it takes me to Mordor#Which is very similar to Jon who watches the rest of Westeros bicker about some stupid chair#And heâs willing to sacrifice his life and win no glory to save humanity in the face of an existential threat#And donât think I need to get too much into Jonâs similarities with Aragorn because theyâre plain as day#Also the iron throne and the ring of power having cool parallels?#Anyway asoiaf is so heavily inspired by LoTR and grrm is a such a huge fanboy#Itâs insane that people think he hates Tolkien or whatever#jon snow#sam tarly#pyp#grenn#the nightâs watch#frodo baggins#sam gamgee#merry brandybuck#pippin took#melisandre of asshai#gandalf#valyrianscrolls
