I cannot stress enough that this might be the most important doll I've posted about.

Meet Jafra, the Palestinian fashion doll.

Information on her took a bit of digging, but as far as I can tell she debuted in either December 2015 or January 2016. She was initially available for purchase through her website, and after a year began to be (and still is as) sold at Hamleys in Jordan, UAE, Dubai, and Abu Dhabi. In 2021 the Palestine Museum began selling her for $49.99 each, and is now completely sold out.

Each doll wears a detailed thobe, the longer one in front for their bridal collection. The thobe is a traditional Palestinian dress with tatreez (embroidery) which uses color to indicate what region the wearer is from. During the First Intifada in the 80s, it became a symbol of resistance against Israeli Apartheid, and of Palestinians' connection to their land. (Credit to Handmade Palestine and @nickysfacts for this information)

As far as I can tell based on discrepancy in stock photos, the dolls with embroidered thobes were considered collectors items with a higher price. Meanwhile the details might have been printed for playline/budget releases, likely to lower the price for better availability.

Jafra's dream is to "empower all the beautiful girls from the Middle East". She lives away from her homeland, but hopes to design and build her own house in Palestine. She grows Chamomile and Thyme in her garden, studies architectural design in college, and always tries to volunteer and help others. Her thobe binds her to her home country, passed down from her ancestors.

"Jafra is beyond a doll... beyond an idea. It's a deep-rooted tradition mixed with history and memories"

I hope I have made it abundantly clear that I do and always will support Palestine, and encourage anyone who considers this genocide a "war against Hamas" to unfollow and block me immediately. You have been given every opportunity to educate yourself and sympathize with the innocent Palestinians suffering at the hands of Israel, and your ignorance does not deserve a listening ear over them.

To my followers, I implore you to do your daily click. Contact your representatives. Attend protests. Donate or buy an e-sim if you can. We need to let our government know we are not going to fucking stand for this, and support Palestinians however remotely possible.

A ceasefire WILL be reached. Palestine WILL be free. No matter what actions Israel and its disgusting supporters commit Palestine WILL NEVER DIE.

Ramadan Kareem, and Free Palestine.

All Roads Lead Here

Part 1 of All Roads Lead Here

Part 1 || Part 2 || Part 3

a/n: we have sadly made it to the last race, so I decided to something big for my lovely readers. put your comments below on how you think Ace's weekend is going to unfold....

warnings: none??? not edited properly 🤷🏾‍♀️

summary: The end of the road has finally approached for the 2024 season. This weekend is a big one....

Abu Dhabi 

Ace and Lando shortly after the upset that was Qatar, were on a plane headed to Abu Dhabi. This weekend was full of emotions for everyone as history was unfolding before their eyes, but the couple could also make or break history this weekend as well. The constructors' battle was too close for comfort, and one wrong move would cost it all.

Lando wanted out of Qatar at the earliest chance, and soon they found themselves in the Abu Dhabi hotel Monday evening. There wasn’t much to do that night so they decided to just go out to dinner with each other, have a relaxing date before the chaos of the weekend.

“Are you glad it’s about to be all over?” She asked him as she sipped on her drink, dinner long gone. “I think so. This season has just been so much thrown at me, and I didn’t take it very well, but I know next year will be very different.” He said confidently, and Ace had to agree. 

Tuesday Lando had a meet and greet at the mall for Tumi’s new store while Ace was on winter break plans. Her and Max were planning out a ski trip for the group and needed to get some last minute things finalised. That night, the couple joined Max on stream to goof off a bit. Ace was more bullying the pair than anything. She had graduated from Bambi academy ages ago, and made sure to rub it in their faces any chance she got.

Alexandra, Rebecca, and Ace decided to spend their day off together, making the most of Dubai’s vibrant charm on Wednesday before the drivers dinner that Lewis always put together. Their adventure began at the Louvre Abu Dhabi, where they wandered through the museum’s serene halls, admiring the stunning interplay of light and art. Rebecca snapped photos of Ace and Alexandra as they marveled at the exhibits, their laughter echoing softly in the architectural wonder around them.

Next, they headed to a picturesque waterfront café for lunch, where they shared fresh mezze and sipped on cool drinks under the warm sun. The conversation was light and full of laughter, drifting from memories of past adventures to Ace’s upcoming birthday dinner.

“You are going to look incredible, right?” Alexandra teased over a bite of hummus, making Rebecca smirk in agreement.

Ace shrugged, brushing off the comment. “I have a few of my normal dresses with me. It’s no big deal really.”

Rebecca rolled her eyes, leaning forward with a grin. “Absolutely not. We’re finding you something stunning. Let’s make this a proper birthday celebration.”

With that decided, they strolled into a nearby shopping district, ducking in and out of boutiques. Ace groaned good-naturedly as her friends insisted on picking out dress after dress for her to try on. It wasn’t until she slipped into a sleek, white silk, floor-length gown with a square neckline and long, flared sleeves that both Alexandra and Rebecca lit up with approval.

“C'est parfait pour toi.” Alexandra declared, her voice decisive and soft, “You look incredible.”

Rebecca nodded enthusiastically. “It’s perfect for your birthday dinner. You deserve to shine after the year you’ve had.”

Ace tilted her head lovingly, studying her reflection while looking at the two girls. “You two are a girl's best friend. You should find something too!”

“It’s not about us!” Rebecca protested, grinning as she linked arms with Ace. “It’s your birthday, and you should feel amazing.”

“I do!” She assured looking at herself again. “Let me call Kelly and show her, then we can be on our way.” The two girls smiled and nodded with a ‘no rush’. 

After a very enthusiastic facetime where Kelly said she looked like a princess, she bought the dress and went back to the hotel where Lando was waiting for her. “Hi baby.” He greeted excitedly when he saw her. 

“Hi amour.” She giggled as he hugged her and tossed her into the bed. “You enjoy your day out?” He asked, seeing the garment bag. “Yeah, they convinced to get a new dress for my birthday.” She chuckled. “Of course they did.” Lando chuckled with her. “How long until we need to leave for dinner tonight?” She asked snuggling into his chest eyes closing.

“I’ll wake you up, just nap, baby.” He smiled down at the woman on his chest who had let sleep overtake her. “I love you.” He whispered, before setting an alarm and falling asleep with her.

Dinner was fun as always, having everyone together was always a joy, especially when their was drama. Ace and Lando were sat a seat away from Max when George walked in last, there was only one seat and the hush in the room made Ace and Lando squeeze each others thighs to retain their laughter.

George effectively moved that chair to sit on the opposite end of the table and Ace cleared her throat. “Drinks, anyone?” She asked and Max snorted at her inability to let anything get too awkward. 

Media day was more of a ‘one-last-time��� day. They took their team photo and Ace had a conference while Lando was in the media pen. 

Friday was a big day, waking up to the announcement from Max and Kelly. She made sure to give Max an extra long hug, even though she already knew. “Don’t start crying again.” He begged, making her threaten to run him into the wall. “Don’t let George hear you.” He teased and she flew into a fit of laughter.

Both her mom and two of her cousins, and most of Lando’s family were present this weekend too, the love and support were in the air this weekend

She was out in FP1 as it was her turn to give up her car for a junior driver. She was on the pitwall though, still mixed in the action. FP2 was great for her and Lando, coming P1 and P2.

She was coming into quali day confidently, and having topped FP3 she was ready for quali. 

Walking from the hub to the garage her and Lando were surrounded by kids asking for autographs. They loved the little ones and tried to get to them all, but they were against the clock. They signed what they could before finding an opening in the crowd and speeding through it. Both were quiet as they focused in on themselves. Getting into the garage they parted with a small kiss. “Stay safe.” They whispered to each other before going to their respective sides.

She made it into q3 as normal, P3 at that and then got time deleted.

“Ace, that lap was deleted. Turn 1.”

“Fuck man.”

“Head down, just go again, you have time.”

So Ace did just that, she was ready. About halfway through her out-lap Rupert came back on. 

“Your time was reinstated. You are currently in P3.”

“Merci, mon Dieu.” She sighed. “I’m still going for this one. I can do better.”

Ace took off fresh off the line, her whole lap was brilliant. “Good lap, that’s provisional.”

“Where’s Lando?”

“On a fast-lap right now.”

As Ace did her cool down lap Rupert came back. “Lando P1, you are P2. Great laps today.”

Ace hit her hands against her steering wheel. “Yeah, happy for the team. I can do better tomorrow though.”

Ace does not seem happy at all.

She does not if her hitting her wheel is anything. She had great pace today, was hoping for a pole i assume.

And for a second there we thought she had it!

Right! But we have to wait for tomorrow because turn 1 always brings us some drama.

Ace parked next to Lando in parc ferme with a sigh. She unclipped and got out of the car, going to congratulate Lando. She wouldn’t ruin this for him. “Family is over there.” He pointed when she pulled off her balaclava sluggishly. “Go say hi!” She laughed as he practically bounced.

“Wanna wait.” He said quickly, aka making her rush. She laughed un-doing her four twists as Lando waited impatiently. “Alright, alright!” She said as Lando pulled her over. She immediately went over to her maman who hugged her happily. “Fier de toi chérie.” Ace smiled happily. “Merci, maman.” 

She hugged her cousin Genevive, then her cousin Marc -who ruffled her hair knowing she hated it. She hugged all of Lando’s family as well before she had to do interviews. She put her hat on quickly and grabbed the mic from Lando.

“Ace, P2 on the day. So close to that first pole position, but another front row start and a dream start for the McLaren team. Just the conditions we saw yesterday, a bit cooler a bit windier, how tricky was it out there.” James introduced and asked her. Ace nodded along as hhe spoke before lifting the mic up.

“Uh, yeah, it was a bit tricky today, compared to last night, uh, it took us a bit of time to find our pace and put promising times on the board, but we got there in the end, uh, great result for the team, happy with my last lap, wish I could do it again, but…” she chuckled, “P2 is still a good spot, and it's great for the team.”

“You had that little situation there with the track limits. Where the last lap was taken away, then it was reinstated, what’s that conversation like between you and the engineer during that time where you're not sure if you get to keep the lap or not?”

Ace chuckled at her normal radios, “it’s usualu me cursing in French and my engineer trying to calm me down.” She said honestly with a laugh, “But in these situations where its a high maybe, he doesn’t tell me if its under review, because i’ll panic. He just tells me it’s deleted, do another one. It ended up being faster anyway, not fast enough, but it was reassuring having a backup plan.”

“Front row lockout obviously for the team, but how important is it for the team to carry that momentum into the winter?”

“Yeah, I mean, the biggest goal is winning the championship, that’s what we are focused on tomorrow. I’m sure we’d both love to win the race, but we'd love the championship even more, so we will make sure we accomplish that and have some fun tomorrow.” She answered strategically.

“Well good luck with that. Congratulations on P2. Ace Giovanelli!” She waved at everyone in the stands and handed the mic to Carlos. She finally got to her water and walked over to Lando and Terry Crews.

“You did great out there.” he complimented when he saw her, giving her a high-five. “Thank you!” She laughed. “Almost got him in the end.” She continued nudging her head at Lando and wrapping her arm around his waist. “You’ll get him soon.” Terry laughed. “I’ll just steal his engine, can’t go anywhere without it.” She teased and Lando shook his head, “I’ll inform the team to keep my car under lock and key.” As they laughed Carlos came beside them as they had to take their picture.

Ace went to Lando’s right with Carlos on the left as Lando fixed his hat. The two looked at each other with a smile knowing their teammate. They posed for the picture and Carlos and Ace went off as Lando signed the Pole Tire and posed with Terry.

When their photoshoot was done the trio walked off. “Onto Sunday?” Lando asked as he did every Saturday. “Onto Sunday.”

Okay so I'm looking back on season 2 and having some Thoughts about Dreamstat.

In 2x01 Louis says "he came by invitation," which is be backed up by how he consciously dismisses Dreamstat in 2x04. But in my opinion, it all gets way messier when - in 2x07, deeply shaken by talking about the trial - Louis hallucinates Lestat in the Dubai penthouse. It's SUCH a jarring moment; Louis' unreliability is at the forefront of the audience's mind since he has just admitted his version of Claudia's turning from 1x04 was inaccurate. Then the audience is shown that Louis is omitting things, particularly continued hallucinations. (We also see him have further non-Lestat hallucinations in 2x08 when he is plotting his revenge).

With all that in mind, I'm inclined to think that he's way less in control of Dreamstat than he insists he is. Louis says otherwise, but this is the Unreliable Narrator Show™.

So. Why I was thinking about this in the first place...

I see lots of people bringing up Dreamstat's reactions to things, mostly in a context of being angry with Louis. And I get it! Dreamstat is mocking and cruel. But I also think it's wrong to blame Louis fully for those things? At least, to blame him in the way people seem to do.

These are not things he is choosing to think, or that he is saying aloud. They exist only within his own head. Dreamstat is all his Louis's worst instinctive reactions and snap judgments, vocalized internally (we just see and hear them as the audience).

His paranoia while being romantically pursued, an understandable response given how things went down with Lestat:

His self-loathing (always comes back to the self-loathing with Louis :c):

His frustration while having an argument with his companion situationship:

These are Louis' thoughts, yes. But they're gut responses, all emotion, without filter or reasoning.

And I just can't wrap my head around thinking less of Louis for having these responses. It's a very honest and unflinching depiction of someone whose response to trauma (both from his relationship with Lestat but also, like, his entire human life) is kneejerk resentment and pettiness that he very VERY rarely vocalizes.

Even as Dreamstat is mocking Armand's romantic overtures, Louis is continuing to have discussions with him, to ask him what he needs to be happier in their relationship. Armand wants him to come around more, he shows up to the disastrous dinner where he fights with Santiago. Armand wants to bring flowers and apologize, Louis hears him out. He is CHOOSING, in spite of the cruel automatic responses of his thoughts, to treat Armand with as much fairness and gentleness as he can.

As a side note, I really read Dreamstat's laugh in the museum scene much differently than others on here. A lot of people seem to see it as Louis mocking Armand's history of sexual abuse. But Dreamstat only scowls through all that (which is, again, not great but it is understandable, given how Lestat deployed his Magnus story to win Louis back after exploding in anger, and the whole setup for Armand talking about his past is him explaining why he is not like Lestat). Dreamstat's only real reaction comes when Armand has moved on from that part of his speech, to discussing the vampiric cycle of violence.

The line he reacts to is Armand saying "Magnus who begat Lestat, Lestat who begat Louis, on and on, and on and on." And Dreamstat... doesn't laugh? I see people describing it as a laugh. He yells 'HAH!' in the angriest, bitterest, disbelieving voice. To me this is not Louis being unimpressed or mocking Armand's trauma, it's him adamantly refusing to be included in the narrative as a part of vampire culture / as a victim. We know Louis does not like people labeling him as a victim or abused. We know he wants to opt out of all Claudia's searching for vampire culture and vampire history. To me this moment is not at all about Armand, it's about Armand implying that Louis is connected with the covens, with a larger narrative of vampirism, including a narrative about makers exploiting and harming their fledglings.

No, Louis isn't perfect, and his handling of Armand is not perfect. But I think people are way too harsh on him for this scene and just in general. He is not his worst thoughts. His actions are much, much, much, much more important. He chooses Armand. I think he chooses to be as careful with Armand as he knows how to be, given the tools at his disposal. Yes, there's a horrible gremlin (ha, see what I did there?) in the bottom of his brain that tosses up vile mean judgy nonsense, but Louis then elects to ignore all that and be as kind as possible.

O MY FUCKING GOD BOULEVARD OF BROKEN DREAMS JUST CAME ON AND MY MOM WAS LIKE EW AND I AS LIKE U EW

OMG GUYS IM SO HAPPY THEY JUST PLAYED DANCE, DANCE ON THE RADIO THEY MEVER PLAY ANY SONGS LIKE THAT THEY USUALLY PLAY JAZZ WTF IS GOING ON IM SO HAPPY. ALSO IM PROUD AT YSELF FOR RECOGNIZING IT SO YAYYYYYY

[carveredlunds]

So, I just found @interviewwiththevampireart, and it inspired me to look for this portrait in the dining room of the Dubai apartment (screenshot from 1.02):

It took about two minutes of Googling to find out that it's Rembrandt's Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee, painted in 1633.

This is from the Wikipedia entry on the painting:

Christ in the Storm on the Sea of Galilee is a 1633 oil-on-canvas painting by the Dutch Golden Age painter Rembrandt van Rijn. It is classified as a history painting and is among the largest and earliest of Rembrandt's works. It was purchased by Bernard Berenson for Isabella Stewart Gardner in 1869 and was displayed at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston before its theft in 1990; it remains missing.

This is such a small detail, but it just proves how amazing the set design is in this show. Loumand have one of the most famous missing pieces of art in America just hanging in their dining room. I'm sure other people have noticed this before, but I thought it was so cool, and I wanted to share!

[twopoppies]

Yes absolutely I would do these things with him for real, I didn’t just make that list (hi it’s me, I made the list. I’m Lindsay). They’re basically all things I did when I was getting to know my best friend in Boston. They’re fun to me and also it is important to think of things we could do together not just be like “make him buy me jewels” or “go yachting/fly private to Dubai.” That’s 1- boring 2- taking advantage of someone 3- just not a cool way to be with people. Things I did not mention: gossip. No I don’t care about celebrity tea per se but everyone loves a little gossip about friends so tell me dirt and I’ll tell you dirt, Harry. Do you have a neighbor you think is a jerk? Let’s tan about them. Absolutely no hot yoga/exercising/pilates/ice baths. It’s important that we have separate interests Harry and all of those suck and I hate sweating. Don’t ask me to do it, I’ll flake. Afternoon on a sailboat/sailing lessons. IF you prove yourself to be good and decent IRL Harry, I’ll introduce you to my niece and nephew they are the best people I know and age 1 and 3. Film photography including developing in a darkroom to see how our work turns out. Share our secret favorite songs from albums that aren’t that well known (this sounds pretentious I realize but I want to play him Both Hands and Untouchable Face by Ani Difranco because I loved those songs when I was like 17 and they’re still good). Topic: animals especially the history of animals and discussing which are interesting and which are not. For example, the giant platypus as mentioned. Who was your first celebrity crush (Mine: Christian Bale in Newsies)? Roof activities- roof parties, roof drinking, roof dining, roof hanging out. Summertime is when the roof hangout is supreme. Explain London neighborhoods to me in detail and tell me what’s actually cool and what’s not and I’ll do the same for you for NYC and Boston. Like is Hammersmith interesting? Do people ever stop name dropping Shoreditch because there are actual good neighborhoods? I’ll keep it secret if necessary. Absolutely no form of Soho House and/or related properties, that whole franchise is corny and not private. Tell me about Jenny Lewis but that’s the only shop talk I’ll ask I swear. And it can just be “is she cool? Is her hair as gorgeous in person as it looks?” I just want to know if she’s cool, basically because I think she is. Falafel. Vegetarian cooking, I am very good and it is fun. Museum gift shops for coffee table books. Mixtape (or Spotify, whatever). Play records because we are being pretentious! Niche foreign beer tasting. Key lime pie. Aaaaaaaaaaand your friends can come hangout with us too Harry if they’re not 1- revolting and/or predatory in my opinion, I have veto power and James can never come. 2- interesting and engaging and not that into themselves or status or clout. We’re not instagramming our way through the hangout, we’re actually hanging out 3- kind. No jerks. Hmm I think that’s all for now but those are all things I would do with Harry if we befriended each other.

Hi, darling. I think those all sound like excellent ideas. Very well-rounded and much more interesting than the average get together. I might need to take notes. 😂

In reference to this (and the everything else in the tag)

oh no i absolutely get your point about louis expressing his frustration with armand when he threw that bowl. when i sent that ask it was meant more as a joke because i always disliked the marius painting both with how it looked and what it represented. it will be interesting if it did resurface in future seasons and gets destroyed in some way.

and yeah, i also thought armand had influenced the decision to put the marius painting in the penthouse. i remember some fans were wondering why louis had the painting there and even implied that he was trying to hurt armand in some way. but of course he isn't that kind of person. it's frustrating how this fandom usually likes to assume the worst of louis or say he wasn't empathetic when it came to armand's history of csa. like when they accused him of not really listening during the museum scene, even though he was sincerely trying to process what armand was telling him. it makes more sense for armand to still have complex feelings about his maker and have that addressed when/if marius ever comes into the show.

oh I got that it was a joke, don’t worry. I just have constant brainworms about any of the loumand / dubai trio scenes because they’re less easily open to a single interpretation. but yeah dreamstat is mostly silent throughout the whole speech and doesn’t make any crass comments which probably conveys louis’s effort to focus on armand and his feelings.
