I truly hate to admit that a pixelated man has made me rethink my sexuality. It's the vulnerability. The trust that is earned and not freely given. And the absolute fruitiness of that man. I'm a whore for fictional men at the end of the day apparently.

[angeltism]

this is like one of those pictures that slaps the faces of various characters into different airplane seats/lunch tables and is like "where would you rather sit if you had to??" and NONE of these options are looking good for him

taking 2 seconds to procrastinate on my homework to continue updating my f/o list, and realizing I have to put [you guys know who I'm talking about when I'm being weird about naming names at this point] either with the kids media f/os or the Misc Weirdos

[hrizantemy]

Hey guys—so I’ve started Castlevania (or however you say it) and I’m already obsessed. I’m on season 2, and so far my favorite characters are Theon and Isaac. Isaac especially has me in a chokehold—I love the quiet, devoted ones who are terrifying but think they’re being rational. Hector is just a fun, messy little drama king and I live for him. And Lisa?? Lisa was a total baddie in her five minutes of screentime. Like she rolled up to Dracula’s castle all “teach me science” and had him falling in love instantly. Iconic behavior.

Also. Carmilla. Carmilla. She is so cunty, I love her. You don’t understand—she walks in and immediately starts throwing shade. She’s manipulative, ruthless, and has that energy. I eat that up every single time. Like yes girl, destabilize the vampire patriarchy, I’m rooting for your arc.

And then there’s Dracula… listen. I was low-key on his side. Like, the humans did Lisa so dirty, and I get wanting revenge. I was like, “Go off, sad vampire man, get your justice.” But then he started talking about wiping out the entire human race and not just the one priest who started it, and I was like, “Oh. Oh no. You need a therapist, not a genocide.” Still, his emo, tragic energy kind of works for me—he’s like an ancient vampire version of a guy listening to My Chemical Romance in the rain.

Anyway, that’s where I’m at. I’ll keep you posted when I inevitably fall in love with more morally questionable characters.

End of the year!!!! To celebrate, here are my top 10 favorite moments that happened in the bsd manga in 2024!!!

🔟 - Gaslight, Gatekeep, Girlboss

Not only was it so disrespectful to just “I made that up” his way out of that scenario, he had the audacity to look cute while doing it

9️⃣ - Vampire Chuuya

He’s the big scary gravity user of the port mafia and his wittle biters are stuck, adorable.

8️⃣ - Dazai’s Habits

The skkisms of this jumped out, what do you mean he rolls around when he’s anxious and chuuya knows it’s a habit? 🏳️‍🌈🤨🧐

7️⃣ - Poor Sigma

Sometimes I’m reminded skk are only 22 and also idiots, what were they thinking

6️⃣ - Old Man Yaoi

This really was the year for doomed old men huh, all the flashback scenes really got to me

5️⃣ - Fyodor’s Ability Reveal

Dude this moment was so cool and so bone chilling and he served so much cunt here waow

4️⃣ - Return of the King

I know what you’re thinking, “Annie, shouldn’t this be in the top 3?” Well they killed Kunikida in the same chapter and that really put a damper on things

🥉 - Kenji BoTW Speedrun

This maneuver was so funny to me I miss them both so bad

🥈 - Fyolai Handholding

This might’ve been top 3 gayest moments in bungo gay dogs

a study in collectivist post-dissolutive reconciliation tactics (armand/lestat/daniel/louis, 1/1)

Summary:

The Polycule Break-Up Sex Fic

Rating: M Pairing: M/M/M/M (Armand/Lestat/Daniel/Louis) WC: ~1300

It is harder than one might expect to divide the property of four vampires after a break-up. They’ve been at it for hours and are still only halfway through their wardrobe.

“Lestat, I’m assuming this ‘Baby Slut’ crop top belongs to you?” Louis asks with a raised eyebrow, holding the offending garment up for inspection.

“Mmm, non,” Lestat replies. “Though I would look fantastic in it, I’m sure.”

Daniel snorts. “Well, it isn’t mine.”

They all look to Armand.

“It was on sale,” he sniffs haughtily. “And the shopgirl said it made me look ‘cunty.’”

“I think I’m gonna miss you most of all, Scarecrow,” Daniel says, and he means it. Armand was always his favorite. Too bad their relationship was functionally a crash course in medieval torture techniques. They really could’ve been something, if not for that.

Armand’s eyes are wide and sincere, like fiery dinner plates. “I’m going to miss you too, Daniel.”

“Nope, nope, no,” Louis interrupts, shaking his head. “We’re not doing this again. Remember how it ended last time? You caused a regime change. We’re ending this for a reason.”

“It was only a small one.” The eldest vampire’s pout is deadly, Daniel thinks. Armand Trembling Lip Incident, No Survivors. He can’t help himself; he reaches out and squeezes Armand’s hand. Armand smiles softly at him in return.

Louis groans. “I’m going to kill you two if you don’t cut it out.”

“You mean like you tried to kill me?” Lestat asks, hands on hips. “Tell me, Louis, how did that go for you the last time?”

“When are you going to let that go, it was over a century ago—”

“Maybe I could ‘let it go,’ as you say, if you were not so determined to break my heart at every possible turn, Louis—”

“Oh, I’m breaking your heart, am I?” Louis asks. “At least I’m not breaking your spine!”

“That was one time!” Lestat throws his hands up, exasperated. “And I apologized for it!”

“Guys,” Daniel interrupts, pulling away from where he had been making out with Armand. Armand whines and tries to pull him back in by his jacket. “This might not be productive.”

Louis stares at them, dumbfounded. “Have you looked at yourself lately? You think you’re in any position to tell me what is or isn’t productive?”

Daniel blinks at Louis. “Sorry, what did you say?” Armand is kissing his neck, now. It’s very distracting.

“Oh my God.” Louis rubs an exasperated hand over his face. “I cannot with you people.”

“Wait, no, Louis,” Lestat says, his expression that of a man having an epiphany. “I think they have the right idea.”

Louis looks like he wants to tear his hair out. “Jesus Christ, not you too!”

“No, lover, hear me out,” Lestat protests, an excited glint in his eye. “We have many unresolved feelings, no? That is the source of our amorous woes.”

“What’s your point?”

“What if we,” he gestures obscenely with one hand, “resolved them?”

Armand lifts his head from where he’s been busying himself with trying to give Daniel a hickey. “I agree with Lestat.”

“You agree with Lestat?” Daniel asks, shocked. “You never agree with Lestat.”

“Yes, I’m making an exception in this case.” For what it’s worth, he doesn’t seem all that pleased about it. “Because I would like to have sex with you.” He gazes up at Louis with his big owl eyes, then, and adds, “All of you.”

“Finally, someone here sees sense!” Lestat crows. “Louis, take your top off.”

While Louis sputters indignantly, Daniel shrugs. “Fuck it, I’m game.”

Louis seems very close to screaming. “What is wrong with you idiots ?” Then Lestat leans over to whisper something in his ear; Daniel can make out the words If you participate, I’ll do that thing where I... before he decides to tune it out. Whatever it is, it makes a dark flush rise to Louis’s cheeks. He pauses. Coughs. “Maybe it’s not such a bad idea after all.”

“Excellent,” Armand says, once more making himself comfortable Daniel’s lap. “Beloved, please do me the kindness of removing your clothing.”

“How am I supposed to do that with you on top of me?” Daniel asks, bemused.

“You’re sufficiently enterprising to figure it out.”

Lestat, meanwhile, is already naked and working on removing Louis’s clothing for him. Louis is swatting his hands away. “I can do it myself, Lestat.”

Lestat pouts, and it isn’t quite as devastating as Armand’s, but it’s still potent enough that it could risk causing an international incident. “But that’s so much less romantic.”

“May I remind you,” Louis begins calmly, “that we are breaking up? Am I the only one here who remembers that?” But then Lestat is on his knees, working on undoing Louis’s pants, and Louis is burying his hands in Lestat’s hair, and whatever other protests he may have had die on his tongue.

Armand is, evidently, growing impatient with Daniel’s lack of nudity. “How attached are you to this shirt?” He doesn’t wait for an answer before he’s shredding it off of Daniel with his claws like a cat on a scratching post.

Regrettably, Daniel finds it really hot. Still, he can see the way Armand is eyeing his jeans and reckons he probably needs to put a stop to it before those get destroyed, too. He lifts his ex-boyfriend off of his lap and stands, and Armand makes this noise like he’s been mortally wounded, but then Daniel kisses him and the fucking gremlin just melts into it like he’s forgotten about his aspirations of disrobing Daniel entirely.

While Daniel is busy juggling the tasks of unbuckling his belt and subduing this wet-eyed creature with affection, like he’s hiding an animal’s medication in peanut butter, he can hear the telltale slurping sounds of Lestat going down on Louis with great enthusiasm.

“Mmmanhel, Mahman, mmph mff,” Lestat says.

Louis seems like he’s attempting not to laugh and moan simultaneously. “It’s impolite to talk with your mouth full, Lestat.”

There’s the slick pop of Lestat pulling off of him, and a pointed silence that Daniel assumes is punctuated with a tremendously bitchy look. “I was trying to tell our former paramours to get over here and join us.”

And, well, Daniel isn’t about to argue with that.

“Uh-uh,” Daniel argues, looking at the whiteboard Lestat has gotten to diagram his proposed configuration of bodies. It looks a bit like a Gordian knot of limbs. “I’m too old for that. You’re gonna make me throw my back out.”

“You can fly,” Louis says flatly.

“Yes, beloved.” Armand kisses him on the cheek. “I do believe you lost that excuse when I turned you.”

“Fine, but if my legs get tired, me and Lestat are switching places,” Daniel mutters.

Lestat grins. “Magnifique!” He gestures with his marker. “Now, I think it will be easiest if we start with Louis…”

When they’re lying in the afterglow, looking at one another with the softness that tends to accompany a truly earth-shattering orgasm, Daniel’s gaze drops to Lestat, who is sleeping nestled under the crook of his arm.

“Do you think…” he starts slowly, testing the waters.

Louis finishes the thought for him: “That maybe we shouldn’t break up after all?”

“Yeah.”

“I’d been considering that as well,” Armand says, from where he’s curled at the foot of their bed.

Louis shrugs the shoulder that isn’t wrapped around Daniel. “Might be worth a shot.”

Lestat, eyes still closed, smiles, and Daniel grins in return. Theirs might not be a perfect relationship, but it is theirs.

(And besides, it’ll probably be at least another month before they break up again.

There are worse things, anyway—the make-up sex is always spectacular.)

Get 2 Know U Game

thank you so much for the tag @xxnashiraxx !! I'm very late on this because tbh I haven't done one of these before and I'm grateful to be tagged <3333

Under the cut because it's long AF ;_;

Last Song: I'm a die-hard LDR fan and I was listening to her while baking yesterday. her voice does things to me. this is my favorite song of hers probably ever, as well as the album. she knew what the fuck she was doing.

Favorite Color: this one is tough. right now I would have to say indigo/ultraviolet, very blueish purple. I had my hair this color for a while and I miss it.

Last Book/Fic: Until You by @bloodinwine has been nonstop spinning on the microwave plate in my mind since I found her work last summer ;_; June just released chapter 20 and I am still in recovery. please send help (or don't really) Effy and Star have been making out in my brain nonstop and I never want it to end-

Last Movie/TV Show: for movies, I watched Queen of the Damned recently for the first time in maybe 15 years and GOD it was so cool. the soundtrack, the vibes, the casting....... it's so Y2K goth/numetal I could die. if you haven't seen it you need to. Lestat and Akasha were my bi awakening back in the day and it still holds strong. RIP Aaliyah.

As for shows, I watched The Queen's Gambit all the way through for the first time a couple weeks ago and it was beautiful! I never thought I could cry over chess. They really put in work on the visuals since it takes place in the 1950s-70s and in multiple different countries, so I constantly found myself staring at the backgrounds and fashion. Very well-executed all around.

another show that has had me in a chokehold...you guessed it...Interview with the Vampire S1/2. I cried so hard at the end of S2 I had to keep pausing. too many feelings. I just love Lestat in everything. Beautiful cunty men are my biggest weakness.

Sweet/Spicy/Savory: Spicy forever I have zero shame - my fiancé and I recently made our own chili crisp because Lao Gan Ma isn't hot enough. we order level 5 hot every time. our bodies will hate us in 20 years but it's worth it.

Last Thing I Searched For Online: Sims 2 CC. I've been playing the Ultimate Collection for as long as I can remember (refuse to give EA any more money to break my precious game) and I have a 3GB mod folder. Safe to say I have 10k+ hours in it and I definitely got the Sims 2/Vampire brand of autism.

Current Obsession: Until You Until You Until You. I would say Astarion but FUCK if Effy doesn't just tie him all together. I might read it start to finish again soon ;_; I love them so much. Thank you always June. <33333

Looking Forward To: SPRING! I live in southeast Texas and it's been warming up here lately. When we moved here this time last year, there were thousands of little wildflowers covering the plains and I YEARN to see them again. Specifically Evening Primrose. Just look at these little babies. They're everywhere here!

As for tags, I don't really know who I can that hasn't done this yet! If you see this and you would like to do one, please do! I'd love to get to know my mutuals better <3333

[xaeyrnofnbe]

my feelings on the boom! studios buffyverse comics specifically (spoilers ahead) (can you tell i really liked these ones)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel: Hellmouth (fun as hell, and the way characters have been shuffled around feels interesting and refreshing. having robin wood as part of the main cast from the start is an interesting choice, and while i wouldn't say he was handled perfectly, i really did like his inclusion. but you know who's inclusion i liked more? KENDRA. i loved getting to see more of her with her as a main character. i also really enjoyed all the Creatures: augie and vamp!xander's little guy i forget his name were both great, but ESPECIALLY camazotz, i loved himmmm <333. and speaking of vampire xander, i thought that was a really neat take on his character) (and i liked the final villain in theory but he was a little under defined and ended up falling a little flat for me.) (also i WISH they had leaned a lot harder into the multiverse stuff, they kept mentioning it but it barely mattered AT ALL until like. a brief couple of scenes at the very end. which was extremely disappointing.)

Buffy The Vampire Slayer 25th Anniversary Special (SPIKE IN MIRRORS DON'T LIE <333333333 that is all.) (oh and disco master. i'm not elaborating on the context but i thought that was really fucking funny)

Angel Vol. 1 and Angel + Spike (good shit!!! i love the implications that eldritch entities are just sort of drawn to fred, it not only gives her character some really interesting conflict but also explains more about the situation with illyria on the actual show! and i really love angel and spike's dynamic, i feel like there were Some Implications here and there, and they just don't feel like themselves without them tbh so that was good. the group dynamic was a little off without cordelia but they made it work. i thought the stuff with oz was really amusing but also kinda fucking devastating with the context of vol. 2, which is excellent. also shoutout spike's cunty little outfit with the pink shirt!! ! i want to wear that.) (i would also like to know more about how angel got to be this way without buffy as an influence on his life, since they never dated.)

Angel Vol. 2 (probably my favorite of any of the buffy comics if i'm being honest! even compared to the canonical stuff. ESPECIALLY compared to the canonical stuff. the new roles for the characters of angel investigations are SO INTERESTING and i really liked the additions of spike and andrew as parts of the main cast. angel and cordelia as actors is incredibly funny. and is it a little cheap to put lorne and andrew, the two queerest men in the buffyverse together in a romantic relationship even though they've never interacted outside of this particular comic? maybe....... that being said i'd KILL AND/OR DIE for them. ALSO THE VILLAINS?? evil angel and spike???? fucking incredible i just wish they had a little more screentime, y'know? and then the stuff at the end with 15yo buffy i'm just. i'm still rotating this whole comic in my brain in case you couldn't tell. it's so good.) (also how did spike get his soul in this timeline if buffy died before they could meet?? i need to know) (this was the only buffyverse comic series that left me so intensely Wanting More, so take that as you will) (seriously, follow-up comic WHEN????)

The Vampire Slayer (love how queer this one felt. from faith's little crush on evil willow, to whatever faith and buffy had going on, to SPIKE AND XANDER?? it's not explicitly confirmed in the text but it's definitely implied that spike and xander start dating like midway through in the midst of raising their crab-god son together. not the spike domestication arc i expected but i can say with full certainty that i liked it, and that i can't blame him because this is easily the most likable iteration of xander as a character in, well, anything. even the tv show. also diversity win! this xander is canonically bisexual! who knew that was all he needed for me to like him) (and spike's evil expressions every time he says something evil and then doesn't do them are SO funny. poor sucker can't follow through bc he doesn't want to hurt his boyfriends feelings </3) (also baby crab was a very lovable critter, his dads did a very good job raising such a big strong boy.)

The Lost Summer (very sweet family roadtrip! soft spuffy! spike being an absolute dweeb! what more could you want?)

Buffy The Last Vampire Slayer (also very good spuffy content, but buffy really shines in this one as a grumpy old lady. and thessaly makes for a really fun protagonist, though her character is a little simple at times, since she really doesn't have much going on besides being a magic slayer and whoever her girlfriend is at the time. oh well. and anya is an absolute treat, naturally.)

the other coven members calling santiago maitre

i kinda like that daniel can hear them arguing from another room. i feel like its a very human experience? really domestic? even given the circumstances

armands eyes were never brown!!!

san francisco flashback episode might kill me im not kidding

insane way to end the episode

ok this was much longer than i thought it would be but this episode has a lot in it. each episode gets better and better and this is definitely my favorite of the season so far.

i am LOVING louis and armands relationship and also both of their story arcs and characterizations. their dynamic is kind of the opposite of what i, and i think a lot of other people, expected but it still makes total sense and im enjoying it a lot

god i love this show

[queer-reader-07]

favorite books

congratulations! you've unlocked the special interest!

since you said books (plural) who knows when this list will end!

my forever number ones:

Dune by Frank Herbert - this is like my one fav i can never quite articulate because it's just. so perfect to me. it changed my life though and i love it with my whole heart.

The Feeling of Falling in Love by Mason Deaver - this is the book i'm known for. this is the book i've gotten enough people to read that i've lost count. this is the book i've gained friendships because of. it's a t4t YA romcom that is equal parts tender, loving, emotional growth and absolute tomfoolery. i love it so dearly i genuinely cannot express to you how much i love this book it is my main special interest outside of chemistry i am being so serious.

sci fi & fantasy favs:

Parable of the Sower by Octavia Butler - ok it's more spec fic than anything but you get the point. this book is about radical hope and its importance in the face of despair and oppression. set in 2024, written in the 90s, required reading if you haven't already. also "god is change" fundamentally altered my approach to deconstruction so there's that too.

Masters of Death by Olivie Blake - like a gaiman novel but written by a good person! very gay, very messy, literal games of the gods. your main character is a vampire real estate agent and she wants to sell this haunted house but the ghost haunting it won't leave. the godson of Death is like a cunty asshole but you also kind of love him? god it's an insane premise and i LOVE it.

The Ninth Rain by Jen Williams - this is what epic fantasy should be. the MC is like what if indiana jones was a Black lesbian and it absolutely rocks. empires on the brink of collapse, potential incoming apocalypse, running from the authorities, all the good stuff.

contemporary and litfic favs:

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong - i read this for the first time as a newly discovered queer 15 year old in my gender in lit and film class and my one memory from that experience is hearing my teacher read the line "do you think we'll be fags forever?" out loud and me immediately crying. i've since reread it and that line still ruins me, but it's also just a phenomenal exploration of queerness in the midst of being raised by and being an immigrant in White america. vuong writes this novel as a letter to a mother who the author knows cannot read english, which is art if i ever saw it. vuong is a poet writing prose and it shows in the most beautiful way.

If You Still Recognize Me by Cynthia So - this is for the fandom girlies (gn)!!! there's a bit where our MC says something to the effect of "i can't wait to read her fic and type out a comment saying 'i hate you for ruining my life!!' when really i mean 'i love you i love you i love you'" AND IT GOT ME IN MY FEELS. anyway this book had me like that one spider-man meme.

Old Enough by Haley Jakobson - i bring you an excerpt from my review: This novel is for the cringefail queers. It's for the young queers. It's for the queers who tried a little too hard when they came out. It's for the queers who tried to hold onto their closeted life in one way or another for a little too long. It's for the queers who feel that they never really came of age; the ones who maybe still are. What I'm saying is, this book is for me. It's about me in many ways.

Giovanni's Room by James Baldwin - a queer classic for a reason. this novel explores masculinity through repressed queerness and self loathing and i think it altered my brain chemistry in the process. such a poignant and tragic piece of literature.

nonfic favs:

The Fire Next Time by James Baldwin - this book unironically changed my life, baldwin is a genius. my copy is marked up to shit and i'm sure when i inevitably reread it i will mark it up even more. i immediately described this book as "timeless and thought provoking" upon finishing and i stand by that. this book was published over 60 years ago but so much of it still rings true. it's largely memoir, told through letters. it touches on race, masculinity, religion, and in many ways, radical hope.

Freedom is a Constant Struggle by Angela Y Davis - required reading for any leftist in my opinion. this emphasizes the important of collectivities and community care when organizing and fighting injustice. genuinely this novel reshaped the way i view community care (what it means, how to do it, etc etc). a foundational text on abolition and organizing as well. it emphasizes how freedom movements and fights for liberation are inherently connected. this book's thesis is "freedom for all or freedom for none" and by god it does a damn good job of communicating that.

“Whenever you conceptualize social justice struggles, you will always defeat your own purposes if you cannot imagine the people around whom you are struggling as equal partners.”

The Anthropocene Reviewed by John Green - this book is part memoir, part love letter to the human story and i loved every moment of it. i think of how john reminds you in this novel that while not being able to see your future may mean not foreseeing the horrors, it also means not foreseeing the joy and wonder that awaits you. i think of how he describes hope as a "prerequisite for my survival" and how that has grown into the core of my politic. i think of how this book taught me that cynicism is unsustainable and we do a disservice to ourselves and each other when we give into it

special categories of favs specifically for the books about being mixed race that made me feel seen and real:

A Mind Spread Out on the Ground by Alicia Elliot - i wrote a whole essay about this one chapter out of this book because of how much it resonated but, in short: this is a sobering memoir to say the least. elliot tells the story of her life as a mixed race, First Nations indigenous woman through a collection of essays. she covers topics such as colonialism, racism and racialization, and misogyny. there's this one essay in particular that will always stick out to me personally as a mixed person, Half-Breed: A Racial Biography in Five Parts. it explores this specific grief around being mixed, around having privilege your non mixed family doesn't, around having to use that privilege to protect them. it's the best literary explanation i have ever found for the feelings i've held for so long. overall though, this novel is a great example for what i mean when i say the person is political. just, really good all around if you're looking for memoir.

The Vanishing Half by Brit Bennett - i read this book for the first time when i was like 15 and i really ought to revisit it but i remember being stopped dead in my tracks by how accurate the exploration of race in America was. how it explores the way that race is oftentimes less about your personal identity and more about how others perceive you (what does it mean to pass as white? how can and do some mixed people use that ability? what does that say about our society and our history?).

This Place is Still Beautiful by Xixi Tian - many of the same themes as The Vanishing Half but YA and more accessible! this one resonated particularly well with me as it follows two sisters, both White & Chinese, and their experiences with their racial identity. one sister looks "more Asian" and the other looks "more White" and the way that played out felt like a mirror to my life, i saw in them the same feelings i've felt every time someone told me my brother "just looks so much more Japanese" than me. and to see those struggles in a teen, to know that my experience wasn't isolated? it was so meaningful, revolutionary even.

ok that's all for now, i'm almost certainly forgetting some but these are all favs of mine <3

[northirish]

My favorite way to play warhammer 3 is to download the mod that makes vlad von carstein really cunty and then drown the empire in ghouls and vampires until I’ve conquered it.

I prefer this mod for Vlad myself

[lazyypumpkin]

Vampire movies I have been watching to keep me sane until season 3 of iwtv (part 3)

Next up are the achillean (or vaguely homoerotic) vampire movies

The Lost Boys (1987) 4/5🌟

•Very fun, very 80’s

•characters with a lot of potential (can see myself writing mental fanfic about this one)

•cool visuals& lots of pretty, long haired men in cunty little outfits

•if you liked the whole stranger things pre teens on bikes solving mysteries thing you’ll love this

•if you liked the vampiric motorcycle coven aspect of s2 of iwtv you’ll love this as well

•it’s a cult classic for a reason but I personally hated the ending

•should’ve been gayer but also it’s very homoerotic

Dracula (1931) 3/5🌟

•really beautiful& atmospheric set design

•loved the costumes, specially for dracula’s brides

•Bela Lugosi’s so pretty 😭

Like genuinely no wonder the man has a whole bauhaus song about him

•They told Bela Lugosi “serve count” and he understood “serve cunt” instead

•did not go into much depth with the characters imo and was kinda xenophobic (but I guess that last point is to be expected given the source material and the time the movie was made)

•obviously ended up rooting for hot dracula (lmfao surprise) specially bc all the human characters were so boring

•could’ve been more homoerotic

•not my favorite vampire movie but would definitely watch it again bc it’s just fun

Bram Stoker’s Dracula (1992) 3/5 🌟

•pls don’t crucify me over the rating I know this one’s beloved by many it just wasn’t for me

•5/5🌟 for costume and set design though like the movie is heavenly to look at

•a little too long and convoluted tbh I did feel a bit bored at times with the story

•didn’t really buy the romance between any of the characters

•another VERY hot dracula like I’m a certified man hater and yet I was simping hard

•homoerotic beard shaving scene

•fantastic blood sucking scene single-handedly made my rating go up from 2,5 to 3 stars lol

Interview with the Vampire (1994) 3,5/5🌟

•pls don’t crucify me over this rating either I just didn’t feel like I enjoyed myself as much as I should’ve throughout this movie

•this is one of those pieces of media that’s both gay and homophobic at the same time, like Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt are no homo-ing all over the place

•made think Tom Cruise in a blonde wig is attractive and I’ll never forgive them for that

•it’s kind of amazing seeing Kirsten Dunst act circles around two grown men

•despite me being very critical I actually do like this movie a lot I just also think it doesn’t do the characters and their complexity justice

•very pretty set design and costuming, visually this movie is gorgeous

hands you cunty vampire guy

uhhh trying of think of facts to give you

-He has a complicated relationship with mainstream religion,especially christianity(more specifically catholism,as he was raised catholic),despite him losing that faith he still is really sentimental about it.As he always thought chruches were pretty,and he wanted to be a preist when he was a child.Though his mother shut that down immediately as he was raised a girl and girl's cant become preists.Funny now thinking about how he's the leader of a cult now.

i ship him with gregor ,one reason why he likes him is because he's sentimental .

-He quite enjoys birds.Especially hawks,eagles,and vultures.(he does not like nocturnal though,and just nocturnal things in general)

-His favorite flower is a sunflower.the flower listed on his picture above repersents him in plant language,which means ,"Cheerful thoughts, Sunshine, Hope, Desperate love, "There's sunshine in your smile" ,hopeless love"

-He has a strained relationship with his daughter Callista.As Callista,doesnt want her kids to be to involved with her father's cult,as she realized she grew up in a cult.She wont deny her kids the right to meet her father though.

-He is spiteful.And petty.

-His cult isnt very big,but it is decent in size having around 46 members.(I have only designed one member kinda,and thats Blanca.I also made another character for it named Hippolyta,whom i have not designed.I really need to make more characters for it) -He doesnt believe in global warming,as he believes is a punishment to non believers and a reward to those who do,how those things can coincide who knows

ididnt really know what facts to give this took me so long to write lol.hope you enjoy is.

MY HUSBAND!!!! God I love him- ohhhh this guyyy!!!!

I’m assuming he drinks blood? Cause vampire?

I don’t have much to say but know I’m giggling and kicking my feet and twirling my hair while reading about him- I LOVE HIM!!!!!
