People shipping Louis and Lestat reminds me of the time (yt) people thought the scene where Margot touched Talia unprovoked had queer undertones, when the (black) showrunner wrote it as microaggression

IG Live with Aubin Wise, Elizabeth Mitchell & Felicia Henderson:

"You were texting me about each other to say - how can I be a better scene partner? How can I make sure she knows I support her? "Oh my god, can I have more scenes with Liz?", Aubin said more than one time. And I'm like, you're Burns, no you can't." - Felicia Henderson

"In the beginning I was like, I think Margot has a little bit of a fascination with Talia. I think she might really really like her. And you said to me, "I think Talia just kind of wants to kill her". And I said, that works for me, so let's go from there. (…) I had this big long flowery thing of why she was so drawn to her and how, after living for 500 years, you're drawn to very few people. And Talia is one of the people she was truly drawn to. And Aubin was sitting there and she's listening, and she's shaking her head - that beautiful face is so expressive. And then she said that… yeah." - Elizabeth Mitchell

What is My Babysitter's a Vampire about?

Source: My Babysitter's a Vampire

Summary: "Geeky teen Ethan Morgan has a hot baby sitter, which most teenage boys would think is a good thing. The only problem is that Ethan's baby sitter, Sarah, is half-vampire (hence the show's title). Sarah drags Ethan and his pals, Benny and Rory (who was recently turned into a vampire himself), into a world of supernatural battles against creatures from their nightmares in order to save their town from vampires. Sarah hopes to one day become human again so she can save her soul -- and so she can spend less time protecting the geeky trio." Source: Rotten Tomatoes

Vanessa Morgan - Sarah

Matthew Knight - Ethan Morgan

Atticus Mitchell - Benny

Cameron Kennedy - Rory

Contamination - Talia Burns/Margot Fairmont

A/N: Day 20 Part 1 for @augustofwhump

Talia would never admit to caring about Margot. She would never admit it until she had to. The fact that someone had managed, by almost killing themselves, to contaminate the blood they gave Margot had taken effect almost immediately. It won’t be easy to fix what is happening and Margot is clearly suffering already. It had been Juliette who came to Talia, crying blood tears so openly that Talia had followed her back to the house, moving to take a proper look at Margot. The woman’s whimpers are quieter now and Talia knows, deep down, she has to hurry. She’s quick, now, to slice into her arm, moving to support Margot’s head as gently as possible, letting her settle and drink from her, letting a soft smile come to her lips as she feels Margot grip her arm, sucking firmly. It takes a little more for Margot to release and settle. It’s a risk, for both of them, to be this entwined, but neither cares anymore.

Propaganda Under Cut:

Sally Jackson (Mother of Percy Jackson + Estelle Blofis): Recommended by Elmaxlys. Sally loves her son more than anything and will do anything to protect him when everyone else wrote him off. She supported him with ADHD and dyslexia. She named him Perseus after the demigod who survived hoping that her son would survive being a demigod.

Talia Burns (Mother of Theseus, Apollo + Calliope): Talia is usually harsh and direct but is also very empathetic towards her children. She even goes against the guild and her husband to protect her eldest son Theo. Despite despising vampires she forms a truce with vampire Margot to protect their daughters and doesn't attack young vampire Juliette because of respect for her daughter's feelings towards the vampire.

I watch Wednesday and instead of shipping the two teenage girls who obviously have a lot of chemistry and would be perfect for each other I ship the mother and the headmistress

I watch First Kill and instead of shipping the actual teenage couple that the show is about I ship their mothers

there is something seriously wrong right with me

I know it's been a while but I need them back

You know the Guild in First Kill? I wonder if they are/were (Since the show was cancelled) run by legacy vampires? Like, yes the Guild is all about hunting monsters but realistically, the show makes it clear that legacy vampires have a vested interest in ensuring other monsters don't make waves/cause problems

See, what made me wonder this on my most recent watch through is the conversation between Talia and Jack Burns when he is trying to convince her to have Cal along when they go after the legacy vampires

Jack is insistent that the Guild is rewarding them for Cal finding the legacy vampires (sending them after the legacy vampires, sending their friends to help, etc.), but Talia is skeptical, because they are being sent after creatures they don't know how to kill, and it turns out that the weapons they are provided don't actually work against legacy vampires like they are told

This would make the most sense if the Guild was actually run by legacy vampires who are now trying to eliminate the hunters that discovered more of their kind without giving themselves away, by sending them against a large group of legacy vampires without the proper means of killing them, the most likely outcome is that they all die, and it's largely accident and luck that those who get out alive do

Of course when it doesn't work fully, they then have to go into damage control, and make it seem like that all wasn't their intention, AND they have to ensure that no real information about how to kill legacy vampires gets into the wrong hands, which is why it's awfully convenient that the Guild has people come search the Burns house for Jules when Theo and Apollo are actively looking for more info on legacy vampires specifically

Really makes you wonder about the directions the show would have gone in if Netflix hadn't unfairly cancelled it

What is What We Do in the Shadows (2019) about?

Summary: "Based on the feature film of the same name from Jemaine Clement and Taika Waititi, "What We Do in the Shadows" is a documentary-style look into the daily (or rather, nightly) lives of four vampires who've "lived" together for hundreds of years in Staten Island.The self-appointed leader of the group is Nandor the Relentless, a great warrior and conqueror from the Ottoman Empire. Then there's the British vampire Laszlo -- a bit of a rogue and a dandy and a fop, he might say. He's a lover of mischief and a great soirée, but not as much as he loves seeing Nandor fail miserably in every attempt. And then there's Nadja: the seductress, the temptress, the vampiric Bonnie to Laszlo's Clyde. Also cohabiting in the vampire household is Guillermo, Nandor's familiar; and Colin Robinson, an energy vampire and day-walker of sorts -- he feasts on humans, but not on their blood."

Walking At Midnight - Margot Fairmont/Talia Burns

A/N: Day 19 Part 2 for @augustofwhump

“It’s midnight… what the fuck Margot?” Talia’s eyes search Margot’s for an answer, her eyes soft as she takes in what is going on. Margot is clearly wounded, for once not by her own hand, trembling and clearly close to crying. “What happened to you?” “Your… kind.” Margot’s voice is thick with pain and Talia tuts softly, then pulls a blood bag out of her pocket. “Here… at least heal?” It's not perfect, of course, but it works well enough to let the other woman heal. Margot, for whatever reason, is not dangerous with her. She’s sweet, delicate, almost human. They walk in silence before Talia pulls Margot behind her into a shelter, pulling her into a kiss as hunters swarm them, Margot moaning softly into her mouth. They’ll discuss the next steps later, for now Talia just wants her alive.

I watched First Kill too late because the cancelation made me feel too scared of being attached (stupid, i know)

But I did finished and I didn't understood a single criticism. Okay, the CGI is shitty but also so it's current Marvel CGI so what's the point? We all watched Teen Wolf, cannot be worse than that. We sat down and saw Twilight and The Vampire Diaries and it was peak television/cinema at that time. First Kill had also a good, consistent writing with a interesting lore, the storyline weren't missing between romance and all as usually does.

The couple was rushed, indeed, but they're also 16 and lesbians, so what's the point again, i mean hahaha slow burn is good but it's also all that lesbians and sapphics are being given for a long time. It was amazing to me when I first saw Orphan Black and the sapphics (Delphine was bisexual so i don't feel like it's right put lesbian couple, but Cosima was lesbian) fucked. They did fucked. But again Orphan Black was never mainstream. Sex it's not everything but I feel like lately many people are being too puritans about sex in the media when it comes to LGBT characters, specially lesbians/sapphics. Not everything was male gaze. No one was watching the pantry scene. In fact, no one even joked or did some sexist/fetishist comment about Call and Jules going there, they just went and did their thing, also in the woods. What gaze? Male viewers weren't even the target audience. Also was never explicit and couldn't be, the girls are teenagers so they're kids. I saw a lot of comments about this whole male gaze stuff and I was like "where? What gaze? Is this gaze in the room with us right now?"

Carry on, the racial representation was wonderful and some aspects were so subtle i just felt delighted. Theo sleeping in a silk durag? Cal's hair getting curly when wet or sweat? But also, they weren't never defined by being black. Calliope was a child who was treated as child and defended as a child. How many times we, as black girls, saw that on media? She's a kid and she's allowed to be a kid. She's not expected to be the strongest person in the room, to protect people or to be parentified or even comments about she's being grown or something that could be understood as creep. She's a child. It was refreshing to see.

Talia and Theo's relationship? Outstanding. Validation to all the adoptive and blended families. That's her baby (fuck Jack bro). That's her child. He's her whole heart. You will only kill her son over her dead body. But also she respects that he keeps a picture of his mom. She understands how awful it was to him become the monster who killed his beautiful and kind mom. She never tried to take his mom place. He has two moms and that's it. It was beautiful and Aubin Wise made me cry one time or two.

The legacies being a matriarch also was very good to see it, it was interesting.

It was a good show. There's no reason to justify why i like it as i usually see people being like "i know it had this but..." There's no but. It was good. It wasn't a masterpiece Emmy winner of written and acting but it wasn't meant to be. It was never meant to be. It was a great representation with good soundtrack, main couple with good chemistry, a lore to be on the background, full Romeo Juliet and Juliet and I loved every second of it. Feels like we can't win, it's so hopeless. We can only win in the background or being dead? Why representation is, still, in the year of 2022, so conditional to WLW? Especially if there's a non-white woman in the couple?

Netflix didn't even had a reason to cancel the show. The budget was a bottle of juice and a candy. Performed good with the audience. The repercussion on social media was overall positive beside the common criticism (bad cgi, rushed couple). We don't even have a chance. Sorry for the rant but I needed it to put this somewhere. Ugh, waiting for the day we can have something that won't be stolen from us.
