actually, to have the audacity to live, to take up space, is the scariest and most rewarding gift you can give yourself.

the time you spent healing is not wasteful and you can still feel sad about the things you missed out on because you took time to heal.

VALUES TO HOLD DEAR AND NEAR

Hi girls!! These are some quotes that typically ground me when I have struggles adhering to my own moral code/values. There is nothing shameful in struggling with your inner-self, the shame comes when we refuse to acknowledge it.

—————————-

KINDNESS

“Kindness is free to give, but priceless to receive”

“Be the reason someone smiles. Be the reason someone feels loved and believes in the goodness of people”

PERSEVERANCE

“I will persist until I succeed. Always will I take another step. If that is to no avail I will take another, and yet another. In truth, one step at a time is not too difficult. I know that small attempts, repeated, will complete undertaking.”

HONESTY

“If you cannot be honest with yourself, there is no hope of being honest with anyone else.”

“If you are a person who won’t be honest unless other people can ensure that there will be no consequences for your honesty, you will never actually find the people, places, and things that you are actually compatible to. You are dooming yourself to a life of incompatibility.”

HUMILITY

“Humility is the mother of all virtues; purity, charity and obedience. It is in being humble that our love becomes real, devoted and ardent. If you are humble nothing will touch you, neither praise nor disgrace, because you know what you are. If you are blamed you will not be discouraged. If they call you a saint you will not put yourself on a pedestal.”

“Humility is the first step towards learning. You can't learn until you are humble enough to realize there is something for you to learn.”

So much love,

A girl unfiltered 💋

Remembering when Lestat ate the child (no more than seven-years-old, according to Louis) in IWTV, and it can’t possibly be more clear how much this kid is nothing more than food to him. He is literally salivating on this little boy’s chest the way I lick frosting off of a spoon before eating the cake!

The description of the feeding itself is unbelievably vampire erotic at the same time it can be unsettling to envision because this is a small child:

Lestat is a vampire, he is the perfect predator! 🥰 Absolutely insane and depraved behavior by human standards yeah of course, but for Lestat it’s like devouring a treat from his favorite bakery! His standards are not ours, and it doesn’t make much sense that they would be? Shame he got food poisoning though.

I think TVA gets brought up a lot when we want to dissect Gothic Horror in VC (for good reason, it is a monsterfucking story!), but VC was a Gothic Horror tale from the very start and IWTV laid the foundation in more ways than one.
