I think I would need to reread the first book to really commit to this opinion but imo some of the horror of book!claudia is that she really is a terribly inhuman monster. she was a vampire child, so she never learned to be human. she was a vampire child so she'll never grow up and fulfill that potential. companionship is a necessity for her because she can't look after herself and that makes her bitter and disdainful of people who want love for its own sake, especially in the context of Louis and Lestat, who damned her to her current state to fulfill their own emotional needs. it's a stark contrast to show Claudia, who yes, is a vicious mass murdering vampire and has fun with it, but is otherwise a lonely woman who craves companionship and understanding because she's a person. Her beef with Louis is still about his failure to prioritize her and his assorted bad idea relationship choices but the undertones are so different and I really feel like the tragedy is that he didn't put her first and not that he could never have made her happy no matter what he chose.
#tbh i think claudia in the book is perfectly capable of love she's just furious all the time#but there's definitely a particular monstrosity/eatrangement from humanity#which in terms of the other vamps. lol maybe she's just honest!#howevvver#i say again u would not catch her getting love bombed into a theatre cult#she is simply not vulnerable to that particular trap#at the same time i think it honestly was about book claudia. at least more than it's about show claudia. she engineered a situation where#louis had to choose and he did! she had the opportunity to make up with lestat basically whenever and she didn't because she was furious#and unwilling to put up with him.#valid! but imo a much less desperate situation than claudia in the show#who is also i think dealing with a much more serious betrayal#like tell me if i'm wrong but book claudia clocks that he won't give them up without a fight from the get go#in kind of a game recognizes less competent game kind of way#whereas show claudia really thought she could show up and ask louis to leave with her. and if he agreed that would be that#and i think the violence she receives and witnesses in return is what really ruptures their relationship for good. she was mad about the#diaries and the boyfriend and the general state of her existence but unlike book! claudia i genuinely don't think she'd have tried to hurt#him if he hadn't done that. whereas book claudia would gut him for funsies#maybe even a little affectionately if he didn't make her too mad first. however it's lestat he was always going to make her mad moot point#god i love show claudia but book claudia really is an absolutely singular character i should reread just for her#either way always thinking about Her#press says iwtv#interview with the vampire#the vampire claudia

Friendly reminder from Jacob Anderson himself that this series is difficult to moralize, there is no right or wrong way to feel about an Anne Rice character, and it's okay for your opinions on them to change over time đđ
#interview with the vampire#lestat de lioncourt#louis de pointe du lac#claudia de lioncourt#iwtv#if you can't enjoy something without trying to moralize it to death then maybe this is simply not the show for you#and i don't even mean that in a 'wahh get out of the fandom' way i mean it in a 'you will genuinely be disappointed so prepare yourself' wa#even Louis who is by far the most moral of them all is still capable of staggering violence and by Jacob's own admission is a bit of a snob#so trying to paint some characters as entirely evil and irredeemable monsters and others as wholly good and righteous babies#is to drain them of their complexity and honestly miss the point that they are all monsters that are still capable of profound love#in spite of their monstrosity#yes some characters are MORE monstrous than others and some actions are more vile and reprehensible than others#but black and white thinking will not get you anywhere productive here#because that's just not the story they're telling#there's room for many things to be true and I just wish everyone could embrace that and enjoy the ride#instead of fighting on the internet about people who don't really exist

who made the mtt. and no i dont mean like who made the CONCEPT of the murder time trio (because i know who that is. touken kamui i thank you for the fangame every day :3) but like,,,, who decided to just randomly pair these 3 together?? like whaaaat.......
part of me wants to believe it was rahafwabas with the whole bad sanses group thingy being made with those 3 in there and then like. the fangame just gave them specifically a seperate group name. but STILL,,,,, where did this trio come from
#so rain of dust got a reboot a couple of months ago and now triple the insanity did too#and my newest favorite detail in the video is that theres a section where dust and killer's sprites are#glitching out. wanna know why??? BECAUSE HORROR GOT DELETED MTT BETTA THEY ALWAYS TOGETHER#insanity is just a horror replacement i fear i dont understand at all why he's even in the trio#WHY IS IT A TRIO. IF THERE'S A SUPPOSED FOURTH. THATS A SQUAD BRO#istg he was just added there for like shock factor or smth bc horror wasn't powerful enough to keep up#it saddens me so much to have him here but also that means it saddens kist as well :3#and killer and dust's sprites are red while insanity's is purple#YOU WILL NEVER BE HIM INSANITY!!!! YOU WILL NEVER BE HORROR I FEAR#idc what anyone says idc how many people shit on the mtt fangsme concept i LOVE IT#its like one of the few mtt content i get that doesnt involve nightmare#like. ok. bad sanses cool. i however could not give two shits about the oil monstrosity and cross#please i need my own little seperate island to myself where only i get to enjoy the mtt reboot songs#cycle of endless death against a common foe. they HAVE to learn how to work together no matter what#its not like they can just give up (looking at you horror) because the human will keep on killing again and again#waaait waaaaait in an mtt fangame dynamic horror would also experience the genocides :3 awww shared truama :3#isnt it so badass that horror literally had to get DELETED because he couldnt die and therefore the human got mad#ok fine maybe im glad theres at least a reason my boy got removed from the trio but still#the human can kill dust and killer as many times as they want. the other two will keep trying to stop them bc of dt#but horror CANT die. theres no fun in that. and one day he'll just give up. that's not amusing at all#i find it nice. a cute little parallel between the 3 :3 now horror gets his own personal genocidal human experience#man the mtt fangame human is smart asf like. DAMN. i forgot bro could just erase the trio#anyways i think that it's a good concept IDC. why are they stuck in the endless loop of human kill human reset? idk lemme check#i forgot that gaster was involved in this fuckass au LMAO but at least he's not THAT involved. more like a background character#the satsujinki was created only for murder. does it have any other thoughts? any other wants and needs? i love it so much my baby#and then the phase after that just consists of my trio emptily operating off the faintest instincts they have#after all this time spent together fighting do they not instinctually long for eachother?#me imagining these empty husks to hold hands and hug. as if theyd only truly be able to coexist peacefully with their minds lost#but at least theyre together. at least theyre always together forever :3 even if they don't know anything else#tricule rant

Dear Petty,
I recently discovered your page (a few weeks back) and every week I enjoy reading your discussions of each new episode of the shows Iâm watching (Dangerous Romance, Only Friends, and Naughty Babe) so much!! Youâre so funny but also give such interesting theories and dissections and itâs so fun to read!! I love reading discourse on tumblr but yours has quickly become my favorite!! And I just want to say I think youâre really neat âşď¸
Love,
A new fan! đŤś
Nonnie, I appreciate you calling my wild ass theories interesting and "dissections" because it really elevates the chaos I serve up to appear as something of substance, when really, it's just chaos.
*This will now turn into a Paint with Love appreciation post because "chaos"*
I liked Paint with Love because it really touched on my specific variety of chaos. Phap was throwing paint on that canvas in whatever way felt right in the moment, yet Maze wasn't feeling it because he is a thinker.
Much like Phap, I'm a feeler, not a thinker, so I'm unleashing my feelings on my dash every time an inkling of a feeling floats out of my stone cold heart, which then turns into the distorted mess you see.
I'm not calling what I do art because it is far from it. I'm comparing my process to that of Phap's, just swimming through feelings trying to make sense of them by putting them down in my little corner of the interwebs.
I'm thrilled when people tell me they like what I've cobbled together because sometimes I doubt it even makes sense to anyone but me.
So thank you for telling me you find my posts funny, and you think I'm neat, but keep in kind that I will fuck up, often.
I'm Messy on Main every day, so although you might have been dazzled by my banter, you'll notice quickly that I'm really providing shenanigans.
Once again, I appreciate the appreciation, and I hope to see you making your own disorderly interesting posts as well.
#I appreciate the appreciation#I really like that you said I was 'neat'#I hope you continue to enjoy the monstrosity that are my thoughts and feelings#Now I'm going to rewatch Paint with Love#because I need fluffy Singto before I get scary Singto in SHADOW!#note: never read my tags#it only gets crazier#having entire conversations with myself in them#half the time they don't even pertain to that post#why are you still reading these when I just wrote you shouldn't?

Can somebody please explain to me what the appeal of vampires is.
#I'm genuinely curious#people seem to go absolutely feral over this concept and I want to KNOW I want to UNDERSTAND#and there are some really excellent vampire aus that I love and I want to love them MORE because I want to GET ITâ˘#because all I see are like...societally conventionally attractive people with fangs. who maybe (depending on The Loreâ˘)#can't go out in the sun. and that just...doesn't resonate with me?#like I understand metaphors for 'othering' and the concept of monstrosity but I feel like that gets a little lost if there isn't anything#actually UNPALATABLE about them. like if they just look like what we culturally have idealized in human appearance then how can#they serve as a metaphor for ostracization or being misunderstood?#is it primarily an aesthetic thing? is it a *danger is sexy* thing?#but ordinary humans can be plenty dangerous too (see: 90% of the female characters I'm obsessed with)#so is it in the sense of you can vicariously experience that danger and heightened emotion in a situation that's removed from reality#so it feels less overwhelming when you're watching/reading the piece of fiction???#like I have seen this used effectively as a metaphor for marginalization (undead murder farce) and an exploration of how society#defines a 'monster' (shiki) but that doesn't seem to be the way most people or works engage with this concept#is it just that people like when characters are covered in blood because I DO understand that one lmao#I just feel like vampires have been branded as a Key Aspect of Bisexual/Gay Culture and I feel like I am on a separate plane of existence#because It Is Not Clicking For Me#(tbh I feel like there are a lot of Quintessential Queer Experiences⢠that don't apply to me but. that's a whole separate thing.)#ANYWAY would love to hear people's thoughts!#I am cooking up a Meta Post⢠about fandom reaction to the concept of monstrosity and I want to gather as much information as possible

and if I'm writing a fic with warden!dream what then.
#ANOTHER monster au from kurgerburger ao3? đ more likely than you think. i love monstrosity and queerness.#i cannot decide whether dnf are established relationship or not though#folks weren't interested in helping me decide which is fine but its whats giving me writers block so im just gonna have to flip a coin#it matters for their dynamic but not the plot (the overarching one anyway)#because if theyre not established relationship they would be right on the edge of it and this is the thing to get them together#not so much a feelings realization

drug recs for a first time drug doer? I've drunk alcohol obviously but never done anything harder.
Other than booze which I love, Rhino Horn is definitely my favorite. Helps me get shit done but is also fun. But it's not like that for everybody. Eddie basically only does it when he's in a mood and Mary doesn't fuck with it at all, she's more of a stoner than a tweaker. Weeds fun every once in a while. I don't really like opium because you just sit around and nod off. You feel really happy but you don't do much and I like to be doing shit. Can't have a coconut war on opium, and it's a bit of a waste of medical supplies anyway. I basically only do it if there's nothing else on the boat. Mushrooms are great for an afternoon, kinda like weed in that it's for a special occasion where you want to sit around and giggle at stupid shit. You know if you mix mushrooms with lemon juice it dissolves em a little bit and it doesn't last as long but it hits you way harder.
#drugs#that lemon thing is real its called lemon teching#ooc: anyway im about to drop the real shit on you anon#first of all dont do meth. especially if you have adhd. the high to side effects ratio is completely not worth it#coke can be fun but not worth the price tag. doing someone else's coke is great#now all drugs have personalities but uppers and downers are like regular people and hallucinogens are like mythical creatures#mushrooms are a satyr of some kind casting spells to seduce your brain#and lsd is a lovecraftian monstrosity (affectionate)#the big thing with hallucinogens is you have to not be afraid of them or the trip will go bad#self fulfilling prophecy type shit#ideally you should also go in pretty secure in your sense of self because they will fuck with you#that said its a life changing experience i love it so much#ghb is good but watch out if you go overboard you will fall asleep and the night will be a bust#also always test and Do Not Inject#you can back out if you smoke it snort it or eat it but injecting it youre done#I know youre not actually interested in drug recommendations and are just giving jack the chance to say insane shit#but i have opinions#misc asks

whenever i think/talk abt a "you" it's at least 5 different people usually
#ive been thinking about how you separated the star of david into triangles and taught me about the equilibrium about as above so below#are we in equilibrium? ive been thinking about the star of david and the rest in peace beneath it#fuck the fascists and fuck how they took you and fuck how theyll take everyone. am i good at analysis?#it turns out weve all been lying a lot. it turns out the person weve all lied the most to was ourselves.#ive been thinking about your 5 journals and a whole week of crying just to realise our sin. you felt like a nucleus inside a fuzz of#electrons and i felt like the fuzz of electrons. we caught a ribbon and followed it past the point of discomfort#this is how you breathe so that you dont die and this is how you breathe so that you do. on your own terms.#i am going to be a good architect. i am going to be a good engineer. i am going to be a good neuroscientist. i am going to be good.#i reserve the label for being a let-go-of-labels person. i am going to be the one who lets go of identifiers#and make it my identity. how do you achieve constant bliss? separate the nucleus and the fuzz.#suffering from the impact of the self and the self-imageŘ you told me about the bliss of separation.#okay. let them hate the cloud. youre inside of it all. i am nothing. this is not a label for the self. mereology is a lovely thing.#baby you are ripping through all these spiderwebs just to live. this is part of the normal developmental process. i am surrounded by people#who throw sums of millions out of their mouths like any other lovely word. i cant stand the thought of your loss#except only in theory. ive been thinking about the bird with the broken wing in florence and how we stood around it until#two friends picked it up and took it home in hopes of nursing him back to flight. ive been thinking about how we are designed to care#for each other. tomorrow you will have your dreams crushed. the day after you will keep going. we are sharing#in the wonders of being perceiving beings. isnt that enough? why do you need to perceive the monstrosity of your own soul? is it#because i love you? is it because you love yourself? you love yourself enough to allow yourself to feel the terrible corners of you.#you can finally stand on your own. you can only stumble forward until you walk for the first time.

First of all I want you to know that your fic helped me to like FT again. Not sure if this can be taken as a compliment or not but for a while I was interested mostly on Edens Zero (great story btw) but after reading your fic I started to feel that warmth when I think about FT so thank you! You are taking everything I love in the story and leaving behind all the stuff that made me move on from it in first place, such as characters being only for shipping or comic relief or lack of proper planning. And now for my other question, I've seem some art made based on your fic, can I ask which ones are your favorites?
akjshfklsjg thank you XD I'll take it XD
Fam I 100% understand where you're coming from because I have bones to pick with the original canon too. Half of this fic is fueled from spite and the other half love. Fairy Tail became my comfort show in a rather low point for me, so it has a special place in my heart for that, but mostly I became instantly drawn towards the characters. So... it was a bit disappointing to see those same characters get tossed around as the show progressed and lose some of that dynamic flair.
I really wasn't planning on writing anything like this but I found the acnologias-ass's papalogia au and was immediately drawn in by the possibilities, because I am a sucker for that kind of found family. After reading a few fics based off of the premise I went "wait no I can do this plot and keep them in character and hint at an overarching plot watch" and then I slipped and fell and tumbled face first into an entire series rewrite because I can't resist touching things I want to fix. But anyway.
Art based on my fics you say? I don't know if you mean the few pieces I've gotten from other people, or just all artwork? Because I make most of it, lol. Hard to pick a favorite, but I am fond of my Dragon Family Naptime (aka my banner picture) and then these silly sibling doodles because they bring me pure serotonin. For angst, there's this old rough sketch of young Jellal that I actually really enjoy. The heavy pencil style pleases me.
But if you wanna see even more artwork or extra stuff just peruse my htryds tag at your leisure XD
#htryds ask#anon#but yeah no I get it#I love fairy tail but sometimes it upsets me#because it's sooooo close to greatness and then takes a hard left#and makes some questionable writing choices#and i am vibrating with the need to take the things I love and run#and then I accidentally did#when I originally started writing of dragons and fairies#originally just called how to raise your dragon slayers#I thought I could contain it#do that fic and maybe a couple of timeskips to hit the plot#and maybe a few in between scenes#but then I didn't want to leave the rest of the cast behind because I love them too#and ripples in the pond dictate changes to everyone#anyway I was like halfway through the first fic when I realized I was doomed#it was kinda funny#and here I am three years later still writing this monstrosity

Do you have any idea how cool you are?
Well I was cool enough to make all these mutate cards
And who on Ikoria could possibly be responsible for this sudden surge of mutations?!
#asks#custom cards#just imagine a little kitty cat#flanked on either side by mutated monstrosities#anyway i never liked how ikoria's mutate cards mostly just used âwhen this creature mutatesâ triggers#combining abilities has so much potential!#so i made a bunch of simple mutate cards to give an easy way to mix abilities#along with some cards like spire-fang and barkhide that want some abilities to help them out#and some abilities like wave-bringer felidar that scale with power#there's so much more that can be done besides just âactivate all your mutate triggersâ#and of course elian helps out with casting no only mutates but any spells targeting your creatures#love getting that cross-elian synergy in#and swirling glow (not satisfied with that name but oh well) takes inspiration from Embiggen#and also elian test subject because stacking up tons of creature types is fun#btw i modified Elian Test Subject to always be able to choose mutant because running it in a mutant tribal deck is too perfect#also the main reason swirling glow says non-Human is the same reason embiggen says non-Brushwagg: Changeling

On that note it is funny to me that I started writing fic for this fandom specifically because I wanted to write solangelo and the genfic was something I did on the side when I needed a break from writing Nico and Will all the time, but somewhere along the way my priorities shifted and now genfic is my entire Brand and I've barely posted any solangelo at all lmao
#It's because all of my solangelo ideas are 70k+ word monstrosities and I don't have the stamina to finish a fic that length#the genfic oneshots are more doable lol#I enjoy them though!! I love exploring a variety of different characters and relationships!! It's fun!!#it's a shame those don't do as well numbers-wise but oh well what can you do#anyway I'm starting to get the itch to write solangelo again so maybe something soon?? we'll see where my inspiration takes me lol#and I have wips I need to finish first

If this man has to haunt me, he has has to haunt you.
Meet Sweaty. Heâs a 42 year old absol and lives with his human mom in Castelia, Unova.
Some Absol headcanons:
I do think part of why Absols have such a bad rep among people is partially due to folklore of them appearing before and after horrific disasters, but also because they have such a human face. Imagine seeing this mf in the dark woods watching you. Something that looks human, but is not. Something that sounds human, but is NOT. Follow this by a horrific landslide.
Do you see the problem. Humans remember human faces. Predators sometimes mimic their prey. Absols have the truly unfortunate evolutionary quirk of falling into both categories.
So yes, there was a huge stigma against absols which led to a pretty severe population decline.
In modern day (much like wolves), Absols have become media darlings, in large thanks to a the help of pokemon rangers who utilize Absolâs ability to sense weather as an indicator when to evacuate. They are a very long lived species and need lots of intense exercise, often declaring huge swaths of land as their personal territories. Absols also tend to get very anxious when they feel they do not have enough space, so keeping them with other pokemonâs usually a no no.
Sweatyâs mom used to be a pokemon ranger and found Sweaty stuck in a refrigerator. Nowadays, she lets him free roamâmuch to the chagrin of every other person in the area. Sweaty in turn makes himself a nuisance to the local icecream store, begging for treats.
(The kids love him. He comes home with ink and paint stained everywhere and itâs a nightmare to clean.)
Hate my human faced monstrosities? Thank @tjs-stuffs for this. Ciao!
#art#pokemon#critdraws#memetic hazard#absol#pokemon art#pokemon oc#oc#my first ever truly unique pokemon oc#and its this fucker#sweaty the absol#absol oc#pkmn#pokemon redesign#unholy grab bag of guys

oh........................
#somehow i missed this back in may?????????#every crumb of unlocked lore just brings more questions#also i love how Bane writes#it's so.........not florid..........what's the word.......#it really is beautiful though#the implication that Orpheus is lying to Bane about the nature of the Game participants lowkey breaks my heart#however i WILL be using that in my fic#it works out pretty well actually#like he's already very confused by how much he cares about Rosario after meeting them - some of that confusion could come from this belief#that all the Game participants are evil or corrupt but then he can't figure out what's 'wrong' with Rosario and he's like#'oh shit some of these are just normal people aren't they'#đŚ#also the way he talks about himself like he's not a human#he others himself because of his hatred for humanity but in doing so it seems liike he thinks of his otherness as monstrosity#/continues pushing him and Luchino together so they can bond over feeling less than human and recover together/

Sure, let's go ahead and slap the myth of Tam Lin onto Ambrose too, while we're at it
#oc: ambrose#just thinking about him#and the nature of monsters in our myths#and how love of any sort (platonic romantic familial etc) helps#it's not. hm. I don't know how to explain this.#loving someone even when they're in their rough spots. loving someone when they are obviously hurting#and that pain turns them into something they're not#the idea that the monstrosity comes about because of a difference between what is demanded of that person#and who that person really is inside#a monster not as something to fear but as something to pity or to reach out to#as something to try to understand#i have a lot of feelings about Ambrose
