DAY 3 | Rolling with the Punches (6/13)
Nina: Ya know, I’m realizing just how much Manny and I have in common: I too always imagined I’d die with a man on top of me. What a small world. Anyway, let’s leave these two to compose themselves (I’m sure Hikaru is just going to be saying sorry for the next five minutes anyway). Back in the Villa, things are continuing to heat up as our islanders make their moves to secure their place in the game...

Beginning | Previous | Next
Manny: [failing to hold back laughter] Y-you okay? You w-want some icy hot? Or the n-number to a doctor who can d-do an emergency hip replacement?
Hikaru: Shut up. F**k. I lied alright…I don’t know how to roller skate.
Manny: N-no! I would have never guessed! [cracking up]
Hikaru: [sighing] When you’re done laughing your ass off can you help me up?
Manny: [laughing] Just, why the hell did you lie?! If you had just told the truth from the beginning I could have taught you!
Hikaru: Well I wasn’t anticipating you being the f**king Michelle Kwan of roller skating! Where the hell did you learn moves like those?
Manny: Brindleton Bay is a very tiny town with very little to do. You pick up whatever hobbies you can.
Hikaru: Anyway, I doubt you could have taught me. I’m an incurable clutz--WOAH!
Manny: Steady there, Bambi. Sheesh, you really can’t stand up straight for even three seconds in those things.
Hikaru: [nervous chuckle] My point exactly. It's why I don’t dance either. Not exactly a suave move stepping on your partner’s toes--
Hikaru: OH S**T! I am so sorry! Are you okay?!
Manny: [breathless] You know I always thought it would end this way. Lying on my back with a man on top of me. I just didn’t think it would be quite like this.
Hikaru: I’m really, really sorry!
Hikaru: Did you hit your head? Twist your ankle? I can have them call medical if you’re hurt--
Manny: [breathless] Hikaru--just…get the f**k off me…You’re crushing my boobs into my lungs…

this is your random reminder to CHECK IF YOU'RE STILL HAVING FUN
are you enjoying scrolling tumblr? watching youtube? reading that book? playing that game? drawing that art? doing that activity? if not,
YOU CAN STOP AND DO SOMETHING ELSE
you don't have to stick to something that you are doing for fun if it isn't fun for you anymore. You can come back! If you've loved it before you are likely to love it again! but you can stop!
Don't get stuck in a loop of doing something that you think should be fun when it isn't! You can put it down for a bit! Maybe that's the very thing that will make it fun again later!

I think we should have a turn of phrase for "I'm not in the right, but I AM annoyed with this situation, so I just need to go bitch to a friend about this before I suck it up and go do the right thing" because more and more I'm finding this is a critical element of functional adulthood.

listen I know it's heartbreaking that Claudia dies and it's understandable to wish she didn't, but let's please not accuse the writers of fridging her. to do so is a fundamental misunderstanding of the story and is frankly insulting to the intelligence and skill of the writers of the show.
Claudia's death, and the overwhelming grief and regret her parents experience because of it, is quite literally the point of the entire story. she dies because Anne's daughter Michele died of leukemia when she was five years old and there was nothing she or her husband could do to prevent it.
writing IWTV was how Anne coped with the unimaginable loss of a parent losing her child. she created a story about a little girl that could not die and then killed her anyway. Claudia's death is a senseless, unavoidable tragedy, just like Michele's was. the grief that haunts Louis and Lestat for the rest of their lives is the same grief that haunted Anne and her husband.
so when you're accusing people of killing Claudia off to benefit a story about two men, please remember that in real life sometimes parents lose their children. please remember Michele Rice.
she's the reason Claudia exists.
she's also the reason Claudia cannot be saved.

above all else a trans woman is a person. above all else a trans women is a woman who goes to the same grocery store as you and buys fruits in the same grocery cart as you and goes home and eats her dinner the same as you. above all else a trans woman is a woman who dresses like you do and talks the same way you do. above all else a trans woman is a woman who wants to be cared about the same way you want to be cared about and a trans woman is a woman who makes friends the same way you make friends. above all else you should care about trans women because they are people. treat her as such.

Who needs a fancy coffee shop when you can eat a piece of chocolate and take a mouthful of the coffee that you forgot about that went cold and it's not the same thing at all never mind.
