The building had been crawling with gentle humans who noticed not a thing as they’d stolen the clothes they now wore, uniforms of the young, and left by a broken door into an alley. Not my brothers and sisters anymore. — QUEEN OF THE DAMNED
#iwtvedit#iwtv#interview with the vampire#daniel molloy#queen of the damned#i think this is my favorite vampire daniel quote from qotd. it makes me SO excited for vampire daniel in season 3#HE HAS ALWAYS! BEEN! THE HUNTSMAN!#daniel reflecting and not seeing himself as changed from prey to predator. he was predator all along and just hiding it waiting#in the books he went looking for vampires hunting for more of their secret world.#in the show he always goes hunting for the truth under the lies even when it puts him in great danger. he doesn't back down#it's who he is! the man in dogged pursuit of what he wants.#i just love him as a character so much#i want him embracing his sexuality and immortality i want him abrasive and cold and without fear i want him DEVOURING innocent people#it's what we deserve!!!!

I think the order of reasons Katniss gives for why Peeta shouldn't be mad at her for playing up their romance is so funny. Like she starts with the fact that they didn't know each other and she was trying to survive and that she doesn't understand what exists between her and Gale. But then she goes into "well I'm never going to get married and he'll just hate me for that!" and "I can't afford love that leads to children or family!"
Girl. Why are you thinking about marriage or children with a man you claim you have no feelings for? Did Peeta ever say he wanted to get married? Did he ever say he wanted children?
NO! Katniss is literally doing this all on her own! She's coming up with a happily-ever-after-domestic-bliss-married-with-kids fantasy in her head with absolutely no input from Peeta and then is like "I could never give him what he wants!"
What he wants? Or what you want, Katnsis?
She's down so bad for him and we're not even in Catching Fire yet.
#the hunger games#thg#suzanne collins#katniss everdeen#peeta mellark#everlark#peeta x katniss#the hunger games reread#I CANNOT DEAL WITH HER RIGHT NOW#be so for real Katniss#denial is not just a river in egypt#she loves him so damn much#she doesn't realize it but she does#this is infuriating but in the best possible way#girl was over here imagining marriage and children at the end of the first book#she's all like “well of course marriage and children would be the goal with Peeta”#according to who Katniss?!#this is just happening in your own head!#she really saw him and went “I need to wife him up and give him babies”#“but no of course I don't love him don't be silly”#my post

"oh i love frankenstein! my favorite quote from the novel is i have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine-" grabs you by the throat and chokes you violently
#frankenstein#like. did you even read the book!!!!!#that damn quote is not in the novel#there is a similar quote that's much simpler: “if i cannot inspire love i will cause fear”#from creech's giant monologue i think#but the specific quote everyone references is from KENNETH BRANAGH'S FUCKASS MOVIE#he's a blight on the classic literature community#everything he touches dies#this also pisses me off because there are so many other wonderful quotes from the novel#but they all get overshadowed from this one fucking line that doesn't even exist in the novel#“but i am a blasted tree; the bolt has entered my soul”#“you are my creator but i am your master; obey!”#“man how ignorant art thou in thy pride of wisdom”#“be men or be more than men. be steady to your purposes and as firm as a rock”#“i am particularly industrious... but besides this there is a love for the marvellous”#wake up sheeple

GRAVITY FALLS SPOILERS MAYBE? FOR THISISNOTAWEBSITEDOTCOM.COM — AT LEAST WITH BILL CIPHER AND STAN PINES/GRUNKLE
This involves thisisnotawebsitedotcom.com and Bill's PTSD involving Stan along with a theory of Bill Cipher possibly still in Grunkle Stan's mind.
So I've been seeing some people concerned over the idea that Bill Cipher hasn't left Stan's mind at least not fully, and while I do also have some belief that maybe some remnant is still there—perhaps it's just Bill's remains left behind all while his soul is trapped in Theraprism.
But the idea that Bill still has access to Stan like before, nah.
In reality; I highly doubt it, it feels just like at the end of The Book of Bill: where Bill snaps over the mere idea that Stanley must've influenced the reader not to join him, just him viscerally screaming out Grunkle Stan's name— resulting with Bill in the void swearing that someone will let him out.
Bill Cipher is labeled with Max Security Rec in the Theraprism, that implies that he's clearly being watched even if they had this one 'slip up' with the Book of Bill. They still hold more power over him since they confiscate his book after five minutes :)
To me, it feels like he's lashing out now—Bill is now what he considers his lowest and is raging at Stanley for not only beating him, for being a cheaper version of Sixer, but for also being happy. To me: Bill is desperate; he's trying to plant doubt that they fully purged him from Stan's mind in which I highly doubt that either the Axolotl or the Theraprism wouldn't notice.
—
But we'll see what happens if any updates come again, maybe I'm wrong and Bill isn't truly gone from the Pines Family 🤷♀️ but from what we've been seeing, Bill is grasping at straws now and clearly he's mad that he underestimated Grunkle Stan lmao get rekt loser
#aka Stan is now living his best life and Bill is seething not-coping throwing up and feral rn at his shi 🙄#This isn't the time Bill entered Stan's mind so for all we know Bill is pulling all this info on Stan from Episode:Dreamscapers#in an attempt to belittle+scare stanley and make us doubt that he's gone#after all Stan is the 'dumb lesser version' of Ford in Bill's eye: hes just mad now that he underestimated Grunkle Stan#Like CMON LITERALLY OUT OF EVERYONE THAT IVE NOTICED BILL IS STRAIGHT UP HOWLING INSULTS AT STAN LIKE DAMN#HE MAD AS HELL BOI#Like I know we talk about Bill being obsessed with Ford BUT THIS??? THIS IS HATE OBSESSION AND I LOVE IT SO UNDERATED#BRO WENT FERAL OVER THE IDEA OF STANLEY#lmao we love seeing an unbothered grunkle stan and his hate frothing enemies :]#gravity falls#the book of bill#the book of bill spoilers#gravity falls spoilers#book of bill#stanley pines#stan pines#grunkle stan#bill cipher#gf#tbob#tbob spoilers#look i really love this dynamic so much ajfhhf

NO BUT THIS ‼️‼️‼️‼️‼️😭😭😭😭
GIRLS WHEN A CHARACTER WHO ONLY KNOWS HUMAN CONTACT IN A VIOLENT/DEFENSIVE WAY LEARNS HOW IT FEELS TO TOUCH/BE TOUCHED BY SOMEONE IN A TENDER/LOVING WAY: 🥺😩🛐🫣🥹🫠🫂🫨😵😪😵💫😔😫🤯😨🫡🙇♀️😮💨🫢😶🌫️🥲💆♀️😍🥳🥰💃😟🧎♀️🤩☹️😱😣🧍♀️💥
Like Marissa Meyer had the opportunity to make the character with the ability to put people to sleep by touching them also the most touch-deprived/touch-starved AND SHE DID and i think that's insane of her.
Bonus points cause this kind of characters are usually male but in this case it's a girl 🤌✨
#i love Nova so much man like damn that's my girl i love her i looooove her#and i sure as fuck love this trope 🤩🙏#Nova Artino#Adrian Everhart#Nodrian#Renegades#renegades trilogy#renegades marissa meyer#Archenemies#Renegades book 2#Renegades spoilers#marissa meyer

When times are tough, all you need is one good goal to achieve!! “We'll carry you to the mountain”!!
I'll do my best to preserve my strength!!

6: The pack's atmosphere is changing!!
Pag 6

2: The balance is broken!!
3: And several people are following!!
4: It's here, Onoda-kun, are you ready?
Yeah!!
5: The climbers are starting to move!!
Pag 7
1: We're entering the mountain!! From here on we're on the national highway 500!!
Pag 8

6: Ha.... Hakogaku is moving!?
Is the Sky Prince going!?
He stood up
Pag 13
3: Not... yet!?
4: He just reached out to take the bottle
That scared me...
We've only just entered the mountain so from their point of view it's not time to start yet?
6: Tch
7: Not yet.....?
Pag 14
1: His opponent is Onoda, so it will most probably turn into a close battle... so, thinking about that, he plans on starting from the most efficient place?
2: Could it be that he's waiting for the Mountain King to go?
The other way around....?
3: He plans on going once the “Mountain King” moves?
Manami is
4: waiting for the Mountain King
Is that so?
Waiting for me....
Pag 15
1: …. no!!
2: That's not it!!
3: Think of what's ahead, of what's happening now, and about the team
Teh!?

2: “Orders”!!
3: “Orders”!!

Yessir!!

4: Yessir!!
5: Imaizumi-kun and Naruko-kun, from now on preserve your strength and get ready for the finish line
Yeah...
6: Rokudai-kun....
Teh!!
Wait, Onoda
7: How...
Pag 18
1: do you know that Manami is going to move 200m from now!?
5: Telepathy...
6: He's waiting
7: Most likely!!
“Maybe”!!
8: The beginning of this mountain is full of zigzags
9: And Manami-kun's ranks are choosing to ride on the right side very close to the guardrail
10: On the mountain, the pack
Pag 19
1: when it's time to turn a series of zigzags, temporarily stretches vertically
If it's a left turn then the cyclists on the left will take the lead, and if it's a right turn then the cyclists on the right will do that
3: From the course map it says that from the next curve the slope will slightly increase
4: It's just a conjecture, but
5: I think Manami-kun will move there
So he's waiting
For the most advantageous position for jumping forward
Pag 20
1: the next right curve!!
Pag 21
1: Manami?
2: He's going to jump forward!?
3: At the next right curve!!
Pag 25
1: Manami jumped forward!! Here!?
Huuh!?
From the lead of the vertical line!!
He opened a gap too large to close in an instant!!
2: He really jumped forward!!
3: Hakogaku' Manami is pushing on
4: I'm going to accelerate at full throttle!!
Go, Onoda-kun!!

No but Dracula wearing Jonathan’s clothes while going out presumably into town is legitimately horrifying from every different angle I can think of.
Most obviously is what Jonathan assumes; that the villagers will mistake Dracula for Jonathan and think that he’s fine, or be able to say that he was still going about his business while in reality he was locked up in the castle.
But then, the villagers also aren’t stupid from what we’ve seen. Maybe they see this and recognise that the person going about town isn’t the kind Englishman they sent off to the castle. They recognise the man who has been striking fear into their hearts for so many years. They know that babies have been going missing lately. Maybe they look at the thing in the foreigner’s clothes, realise what it means, and quietly mourn him as another lost to the Count’s tyranny.
But maybe worst of all is if they don’t notice that it isn’t Jonathan.
Imagine you just sent a man off to a place where people go to die, where girls and children disappear and never come back from. You know he will not return. You regret his loss. And a few weeks later… you see him back in town. Maybe only a glimpse from afar, but you remember his clothes. They stick out between the locals. And… he looks fine. Not hurt, or terrified, or running for his life. And you begin to wonder… how? How could a man go to that place and return safely when no others have? What kind of monster could go to that place and return sane?
What has the kind Englishman become? Has he been turned into something that you dare not imagine? Or… was he always that way, and you were just too blind to see it until now?
All this, while the real Jonathan remains imprisoned with even his identity stolen from him.

life is hard for us oz fans who are only meh about wicked. have half a meme.
#it's not even that i dislike boq as a character - he's fine. i think galinda is the most intriguing of the musical esp in her relationship#with power and how that relates to her relationships with other people. but boq is fine#i am just SO fucking tired of conflating boq wicked with nick chopper baum books#that's not my tin woodman. and i don't want him to be. nick (unlike many oz characters) has a very specific and set backstory#he has a whole damn book about it ffs#and boq is such a different character in terms of role symbolism and personality that i just cannot see him as even an au version of nick#fiyero too to be completely honest. though his mischaracterization doesn't bother me quite as much bc i read the book and he is rather#intriguing as a separate character - i don't love him in the musical tho. anyways specifically calling boq the tin woodman and saying#all the baum book stuff happened to him is so irritating to me because they are not at all the same. and nick is one of my favorite charas#in any media ever. idk. no hate if you like boq ofc and i don't want to stop you from having fun with the characters#i just am getting tired of the greater oz fandom latching on to wicked as fleshing out the baum or mgm characters. it's an entirely#different world. (and yes we can discuss the fact that wicked is intended to be canon compliant with the 39 film - but once again it's#a stretch to say it fits the charas. and that isn't the issue i have here.)#anyways. sorry. i'm just tired of wicked = boq = nick stuff#esp im annoyed at the fiyero and boq blorbo-ifying i see when the women of this musical are far more interesting and proactive#boq and fiyero are just furniture/pawns in the great drama that is elphaba's life and the way she pulls glinda into it with her#but WHATEVER i DIGRESS and shit. ignore this. whatever#it's the way people attempt to reconcile a lot of non-compliant media into whichever one they like the best. which is all fun and games#i am just being a hater. ok? this is me being a hater.#analysis#wizard of oz#wicked#wicked musical#toast talks oz#toasty talks
