what louis did to lestat and what louis did to armand are connected and that's important to the story but also. it is simply not the same. nothing louis did excuses armand's behaviour, that's not how anything works, but he did not "cross a line" or "poke at armand," he weaponized armand's history of abuse to belittle and demean him. nothing armand said to louis came close- the equivalent would have been "oooh, i'm such a stupid bitch that my husband can beat me half to death and i'll keep crawling back for more even when it endangers my daughter!" it's retraumatizing and deeply destabilizing to hear that shit from your partner. and in response armand should have been like "well this man sucks when he's high and he's high all the time, so i'm bouncing" but if he'd done that we wouldn't have a story, would we?
edit: i've come back to give armand credit for "claudia didn't love you like we did/do. ps. u used her to distract from your own hurt feelings" that shit does hit in a similar way. however "the ways someone hurt you have left you contemptible and weak. they scrawled 'dirty and annoying' all over your soul in red ink and it's never coming off" is just outstanding work. timeless

Honestly it always felt weird to me that the thing Descendants decided to highlight about the Evil Queen was her like, gold digging tendencies (something at most implied in the OG movie) instead of like. Anything she actually does in Snow White & the Seven Dwarfs. Like EQ was not content to just marry a king and live it up in a castle. She wanted power, and the freedom to indulge in her cruelties and sadism whenever she wanted.
I know it’s just shallow writing the way it was for all the villains in that movie but still. She just comes off very pathetic and overlooked in a way that makes me sad. And I guess it bugs me more than the others because I feel like in fan works, while Maleficent, Jafar, and Cruella tend to get revamped to be more OG movie in-line, EQ’s weird gold digger motivations seem to stay the same just with her being more openly abusive to Evie.
I wanna write a descendants fic specifically just so I can write about the EQ that exists in my head.

In the “billy parents the girls” au, I wonder how Sam and Billy would react to Tara being attacked by ghostface? Like one overprotective and “slightly” unstable family member wasn’t enough.
Somebody knows.
That's his first thought. Maybe he should have known something would happen on the 20th anniversary. He never thought it would come back to him. After all, there was a 'Ghostface attack' just five years prior, and it was all about Sidney. Why wouldn't it continue to be all about Sidney? Billy's dead after all.
He should have moved out of Woodsboro. It's always been risky, staying. But this was his home, and by the time he'd given up entertaining the thought of revenge against Sidney, he'd put down roots. He'd thought about moving a few years ago, when the last attacks happened and the police started sniffing around for information, but the girls had friends here, and Sam's never quite treated him the same since she learnt the truth. She would never have agreed to leave.
So here he is, staring Deputy Judy Hicks right in the face, unrecognised. God these people must be stupid, to look him right in the eyes and still not see him. He manages to talk his way back into the house with a well-placed quip about the absence of their good Sheriff and a reminder that his 14-year-old daughter, her own son's friend, who was attacked, is going to need some comforts of home and her inhaler.
He pauses to take in the murder scene on the way. He memorises the pattern of blood soaked into the living room carpet, the outline of his little girl, the kitchen knife abandoned on the floor. His own knife. They used his own knife on his daughter. When he finds out who did this, he's going to make them pay.
He packs a bag, he packs Tara's essentials, a change of clothes for Sam and the teddy bear she denies sleeping with. He heads for his own room to get some things, and that's when he learns somebody really does know.
Because Billy is scrawled across his bedroom wall in red.
Red is all he sees.

"[...] there's a character in this game who's a reverse weeb, heavily subscribes to the various mantras of serial killers, and to the point that it's actually one of the turning point in one of the class trials?"*slowly zooms in on Sonia Nevermind*
aka tell me you didn't play sdr2 without telling me you didn't play sdr2.

the reviews im reading are saying it's boring to have an arc where a guy plots to avenge the death of his family after eleven HUNDRED years because he just never found out who did it in all that time but now he knows and he's in the guy's house . oh boo hoo we don't want to see the mead hall they say in the reviews . fuck off i want to see the mead hall . and i want to see him 1) kill grendel and 2) and most importantly, first fuck grendel's husband
