#thats my vampire opinion i guess

[imunbreakabledude]

Regarding Pattison not happening, I actually think there's a good chance we're right that it wasn't Valerie Armstrong's choice. I saw an interview with her (wish I could find the link) where she alludes to choices she would have made differently. She also seems to regret AMC, saying it wasn't accessible to enough people; it turns out they picked her script out of the blue and wanted to make the show. Otherwise I imagine she would have gone somewhere else and we would have gotten Pattison.

first off, I just have to say, what a funny feeling it is to me, to get an ask about pattison in the year 2024. nothing bad, just, like, for context, if you don't know this about me... I was a fan of KCFH from the literal beginning, heard about it shortly before it started airing and liked the concept, watched every episode as it aired (which is pretty unique for me, i rarely get into a fandom From the Start like that), and I was a big champion of it, spreading the word, because I looooooved season 1. i got a lot of people (relatively speaking) into the show and ran a memes account on twitter... I was a #pattison truther the whole time. and so i was wicked hyped for season 2, had a good time with it even if it was a bit short of my expectations even before the finale, but the finale really just pissed me off because I felt like, wow, I loved this show so much and was really hoping at least, it would give me one piece of vindication from a middling season 2. so I have barely thought/posted about the show since that period right after the finale, because it disappointed me more than any other show, maybe, ever has. (that doesn't mean it was the WORST finale i've ever seen, far from it, but it disappointed me the most because I cared so much about the show, and also because so much of it felt like it just fell short of being so much better.)

ANYWAYS... if you do find the link to the interview you're talking about let me know. no pressure but it intrigues me. I haven't read a single interview with Valerie (or anyone else who worked on the show) since the immediate aftermath of the finale, since that interview where Valerie said it was the right choice to not go for pattison and how they were "romantically alone but fine" (ugh). so if she hypothetically has gone on the record with a different sentiment about it, not defending it, then i'm interested.

because. i recognize most of this is parasocial and just my desire to believe that I did see some Pattison Truth and wasn't dumb to believe it the whole time, so I need to believe in a Person who represents that Truth and wanted it to happen while other forces prevented it, and Valerie is a convenient person to imagine in that role both as the creator of the show & a bisexual woman who spoke openly about the queer parts of the story she was telling. I recognize that I will probably never know for sure what happened behind the scenes and to what degree pattison endgame was ever on the table or not. But i do feel the urge to believe it is true. so if there's evidence that supports it, lol, i'm interested. (for the record, if there's evidence that WEAKENS this theory i'm also interested in that. lol) i just do not have it in me to go looking for it, because, as I said, I gave so much of my head & heart to this show and it felt so bad after the finale that I just cannot go down the road of spending conscious waking hours thinking about it again, because it just makes me sad.

[the-bonfires-ember]

ive been thinking about that thing people say about mental illness. yknow, 'its not a part of your personality' 'dont make it your identity' etc

but when you have a personality disorder, that doesnt really make sense anymore.

which makes my feelings on cluster b pride flags a little conflicted. coz, sure, it is fundamentally a part of your personality and certainly shapes your identity, but something about pride flags has always been off to me. perhaps especially as a person with aspd.

now, sure, on the one hand i get it. theres something appealing about having that kind of validation that you arent alone, especially when you are constantly masking and shifting who you are to fit the situation best.

we might have antisocial personality disorder but we are still, at our core, social creatures. we still desire community, we're just also afraid of it.

so yeah, a banner of community and others 'like us' seems fair enough, right?

BUT

theres still something... off to me about it. what it was, exactly, only came to me after a discussion with my partner about DID and PluralKit - yeah i know, im diving into plural drama now, lfg i guess

they showed me an infographic about the process of DID recovery which showed the progression from very disconnected and separated identities to a more blended 'final fusion' (a term they take issue with but thats a different story). i said that PluralKit must be confusing for people on the later ends of the spectrum they were showing me because, at that point, how do you tell who is blending with who? when the lines are blurry, how do you know who to tag yourself as? it seemed like an inhibitor to recovery if you were constantly cutting yourselves off from each other. (this is not me saying anything one way or the other about plurals and recovery in DID or whatever the fuck else, im just using this as an example. stfu i dont care about your opinions on any of this so dont waste your breath)

i think my feelings on aspd flags is somewhat similar. coz i mean, they are pride flags, right? and i think if you are taking pride in being aspd then you are far more likely to lean into your symptoms, and i think thats a slippery slope to go down and has just a very 'anti-recovery' vibe, if you know what i mean.

with that all said, i also very much think that if you dont want to recover, you dont have to. i dont think you can force anyone to recover and i dont think you should even try to. recovery is fucking shit and its hard and if you arent ready for it, you are just going to hurt whoever you are trying to make recover.

but i also think that you can have that opinion, whilst also being a voice for recovery, and be against 'anti-recovery' thinking.

because look, like it or not aspd is a fucking disorder. and at some point that becomes unhelpful or it wouldnt be a disorder. symptoms of aspd are debilitating and pretending otherwise that helps nobody. especially with all the 'all pwASPD are evil' scum out there.

so yes, i think the pride flags are... unhelpful at best and harmful at worst. but what about the other stuff? the creatures alla tbh creature and the plushiedreadful rabbit? (i think both of those designs suck btw but thats not the point)

idk those feel like they are in a different category. theres not really a sense of pride in those, more a sense of comfort. again, community, but also a sort of softness(??) that the pride flag things seem to miss - especially when they are like 'vampire aspd' or 'evil aspd' or any of the other bullshit things ive seen out there. i guess they are also just way more 'mental illness' coded than pride flags are.

pride flags have always been a 'we're here and theres nothing wrong with us' kind of thing. but the creatures and the bears are more lighthearted and sort of making fun of the conditions a little bit. highlighting symptoms and coping mechanisms. just look at the imocreature - specifically the worm one which is my favourite - and the way its able to be so pathetic looking and cute. its not meant to be cool or badass or whatever else, its just a lil guy that gets sad without supply.

which, yknow, relatable.

analysis on lest karr

[this might be accurate or inaccurate idk but enjoy💀]

So as almost everyone knows, lest is a very insecure vampire, he’s extremely greedy for power and takes every chance he has to prove he IS powerful. We don’t really know why he does this, but kagami has mentioned that the names he gives his characters are very meaningful and he’s thought them through.

His fallen angel name which is “Astaroth, Astarte, Ashteroth etc etc”

In demonology, Astaroth is a demon that represents laziness, self-doubt and rationalized philosophy (this is all according to Sebastian michaelis).

I’ll start of with lests self-doubt which is displayed a lot of times for example

Yeah he’s pretty insecure and is literally made out of self doubt, but why? I think this mostly stems from the fact that he wasn’t chosen and I guess he blames himself. Typical vampires are emotionless, have no ambition, have no interests whatsoever, don’t have hobbies etc etc.

But one thing about lest he has emotion, he has ambition, and definitely has hobbies. The 3rd progenitors that Shikama chose were pretty much devoted to him and only him, they had no hopes or emotions, they didn’t suspect shikama of manipulating them at all, THATS why they were chosen. This is off topic but krul and lest are extremely similar, they have alot of parallels that people don’t pay attention to at all.

These two both have self doubt, and assure themselves 24/7 that they never fail and have to succeed, Krul hates shikama with every bone in her body, so does lest considering how easily he concealed his insecurity over not being chosen as an apostle. Both of them arent normal for vampires which is why they weren’t chosen but that’s my theory on it.

Rationalized philosphies

Now im not too sure as to what this means but i did some digging, and its basically giving your opinion and view on something with REASON as its source, which lest does a lot. He uses his experience and reason as his take of action all the time.

E.G

In summary, he’s just awfully realistic and isn’t living in a fantasy like many other characters.

Now I don’t know about laziness because he puts in that WORK in any task he’s given so maybe its more of a mentality type of thing where he cant be asked to be dealing with things like birthdays💀

But anyway that’s all I have right now, I might be making a theory on why he and krul weren’t chosen as apostles.

[tommyshelby87]

Dear Writer, I need your opinion again. I practice shifting, I plan to go to Red Eye, but something I want to do is add the supernatural here, but I don't know what type of creature to assign to Jackson. I was thinking between vampire or witch, but I don't know, what do you recommend?

Hi there!

Ooh interesting! A while ago, I got a really fun ask that wanted to know what supernatural beings the boys would be and I assigned Jackson as a zombie master. I see it that way because he likes controlling people in his environment. We saw that with Lisa, but also with the man that was watching her father outside in that car. So my guess would be that he would be in charge, even if he was a supernatural being. Either that, or maybe a demon cause he enjoys doing evil so much :) If I would have to pick between a vampire or a witch, then I think I would pick the vampire, since I can see him kill others just for his own survival ^_^ This was a fun ask, anon, thank you! I've been reading a bit on shifting and thats really interesting material, anon. I hope that your journey will be an epic one, if you implement this :)

[detectiveaku]

theory: akutagawa is now an ada member

i have. four points! which is a lot of points for a bsd theory okay here me OUT yall have worked with less

number 1: the fight on the ship resembles an entrance exam.

in order to join the ada, you have to prove that you would put others' lives before your own. before the fight on the ship, all of akutagawa's "sacrifices" or times when he put his life in danger were calculated, he knew he would probably survive. this is because he was motivated by getting dazai's approval, not saving lives. but by sacrificing his life for atsushi, both atsushi and dazai could vouch that he couldnt possibly have known that he would survive to get said approval. atsushi specifically could vouch that akutagawa had previously said that he couldn't disappoint dazai in his life, because he couldn't bear seeing his disapproval, indicating that he cares about getting dazai's approval while he's alive, not after. so the sacrifice was for atsushi, so he could get off the boat and stop fukuchi.

number 2: his appearance in the "two hours later" segment

clothing is a major factor for a character's allegiance. getting a new item of clothing shows allegiance to the mafia. clothing was a major part of tachihara's development. it also shows allegiance to the ada, as seen when atsushi first joined. and not only does he have an entirely new outfit, but to me its giving goth sherlock holmes. thats a matter of opinion but it really does look like a goth victorian detective.

also, fukuzawa can boost ada members' abilities. and while it might be the lighting making rashomon have that yellow tint to it, at least in part, it does have an extremely yellow look, which to me seems like it is different. why didnt it look like this before? my guess would be he was a vampire, undead, and so fukuzawa's ability couldnt affect him. this is an admittedly weak point though.

number 3: why is he there?

on the surface, sure. akutagawa is at the airport and decides to help out. but this is not part of dazai's orders to him, his role was to save atsushi on the ship and he did that. i dont think mori or any mafia member is going to be at the airport so soon, so on whose orders is he fighting side-by-side with atsushi? three options, i like them all. one is he chooses to save atsushi because it is the right thing to do/he cares about atsushi. i like this, but it seems like a very wide jump from the previous time we see him. impulsively saving someone you were already ordered to save, and voluntarily joining a fight you have no direct business with because youve done some thinking and would fight with him no matter what, is a jump in development. a fun jump, but a jump nonetheless. second option is he chooses to fight because the singularity was created by fyodor and dazai lost to fyodor so hed get dazais respect if he defeated fyodor. and this is fine, i wouldnt hate it. but its the opposite problem, this characterization feels like its going in the wrong direction. akutagawa has been moving away from being solely motivated by dazai's respect. which brings me to option three, he fights because he has a new allegiance. we know how fiercely loyal he can be, the opportunity to prove this allegiance would be enough to get him involved in the fight

number 4: the port mafia transfer

okay i know everyone is tired of pm transfer theories, and im not going to pretend to know who it is, but i think that whoever it will be, there has to be a catalyst. another pm member choosing to leave for the ada may be that catalyst.

akutagawa has been on a redemption arc kick, with the whole not killing people, saving atsushi's life, and now this. it might be that the pm transfer serves to bridge the gap started by yosano's recruitment, which is why we learned about both at the same time. so while akutagawa is transferred to the ada, someone else is transferred to the mafia, and both organizations become closer as they work together with their old friends' new colleagues. i think this is how the pm transfer becomes a real plotline, and not just angst.

i also think mori is going to cash this in at a specific time, not just whenever they're done handling the decay of angels. finding out that akutagawa has left could be that time. it makes this something more than mori knocking on the agency's door after everything is dealt with and going ">:) forgetting something >:) ?" and more strategic, which is more in character for him

its also possible that akutagawa is the pm transfer, which would be crazy and certainly unexpected. akutagawa becomes an official ada member, fukuzawa proves it to mori with his ability, and mori cashes the transfer in to get akutagawa back. shocking, heartbreaking, very bsd.

this is the theory, let me know what you think/if you have any other points to add! im sure theres holes in it but i really think im right about this

[alien-enjoyer]

just finished watching the iwtv movie (because i refuse* to pay the paywall on amazon) (*i will end up paying the paywall on amazon :( unless someone has super legal way for me to watch the show 🥺)

review: it was good i think maybe uh like… roughly 7.629 / 10

claudia’s performance absolutely slayed she was perfect. literally giving kirsten (my best friend i am on a first name basis (i had not heard of her before today)) a 10/10.

tom and brad (<- i am on first name basis with them also) did ok i guess,, i mean they definitely got their characterisation down. louis is the perfect little miserable milk sog webkinz wall throw plushie and lestat is a massive bitch and also That Guy so i mean,, yeah. yeah they did well. that’s them. they just looked a little odd.

some of the effects were a little goofy but thats part of the fun. i love obviously plastic rat numbers 1-67 (i did not count them but there were so many) and also plastic bats 1, 2 and 3.

very funny they couldnt spring the budget for the telepathy. made the Bad realisation that this version of louis is like bella swan, so now it’s hilarious.

loses points for making the lateral incisors fangs. regains them for having bonus canine fangs as well. thats like 8 fangs each. almost overkill, but thats what vampires are built for. so it’s allowed. in my humble opinion. loses points again for i think being inconsistent with fang placement idk i was only sort of paying attention. who am i kidding i was paying attention im like 80% sure that they were inconsistent. i am also inconsistent in that ive already decided the final score of this movie in that this does not affect the score at all.

speaking of fangs they shouldve given themselves more time to get used to having fangs because sometimes the way they held their mouth looked remarkably uncomfortable. not the point. this one did affect the score slightly.

not homosexual enough. why did they give louis a wife and kid albeit a dead one what happened to his brother ? censorship more like censorSHIT !! amiright chat

crusty ass theatre des vampires. also why was lestat not there ? what was the reason

ending ??? didnt make much sense??? lestat was there immediately after??????? like within 10 minutes of louis leaving??? how did he know. oh fuck the lack of telepathy made ME forget the telepathy. but why tf was he in sanfran (<- im on nickname basis with this city too)

Maiara

    I walked onto the boardwalk, trying to find a tent to slip into to leave the crowd. I sighed as I pushed my way through the other teenagers  that were there. They were so annoying,  like most people my age but the surfers on the other hand were beyond aggravating and a hard to stomach at times. I don’t know how else to describe them besides that and that they are such arrogant dicks, and how most people really can’t stand them either. I  just try to steer clear of them, and don't fool with anyone affiliated with them because  nine times out of ten they’re insufferable too. I slipped into a tent with comic books, somewhat intrigued I begin to look around. Barely touching one comic before, "If your looking for the frozen yogurt bar, it closed down last summer." a voice rang out. I jumped slightly not expecting it but I turned towards the direction the voice was coming from, "Trust me I'm not. I also know it did. Seeing as I worked there last summer." I responded taking in the boy across for me appearance. He was average height with brown hair and a red bandanna draped across his forehead. 

    He raises an eyebrow at me, and looks off to the side. I turn my head to see another guy just standing there. He was a bit taller with lighter hair, i tilt my head slightly, "Yes?" I say. "Nothing. Just thinking." He replies and he looks away from me and back to what I’m assuming is his brother . I shrug and turn back to the first guy as well. After another moment of silence I open my mouth again to introduce myself. " Maiara. Its nice to meet you." I say. "Edgar Frog,and that's my brother Alan." Edgar says introducing himself and his brother with a jerk of his thumb. "Nice to meet you as well." Alan says dully. I brush it off with a smile.

"I honestly didn't know what this had turned into. I just wanted to get off the boardwalk. This setup is pretty nice though." I say. "Thanks. We run it for our parents." Edgar says.Something about the tone of his voice let me  know he was holding out on something with that statement,but I didn't say anything about it.I started looking around again for a little while answering a couple of questions Jerry and them and asking some in return. These two were quite the characters, I soon discovered. “ Hey Mar, I have another question for you.” Edgar says as he walks up to me once again, “Shoot.” I responded, not really thinking twice about my new nickname. “How do you feel about vampires?”  And I  can’t help but give him my full attention, I guess it was the sound of his voice that let me know it’s was a serious question. But I really didn’t have an answer, vampires weren’t something I thought about a lot. In a fictional or non fictional sense, “I can’t really say. I don’t think about them a lot to really form an opinion on them.” The brothers both stepped a little closer and something told me I wasn’t going to like what got said next, and I wanted an out. “Well we have something to change your mind-.” Edgar starts but I cut him off with a poorly timed excuse , "Thats  sounds cool but the crowd has settled a bit and I have to get back up the place I’m staying before it gets too dark!  See you later. Edgar and Alan." I say in a rush. "Later Maiara." They both say as i head out the tent. I know in hindsight i should have stayed to hear what he said but I don’t need any supernatural adventures to put on my plate. 

As I walk a little ways down from the tent and to the center of the boardwalk,   I stumbled onto a scuffle of sorts. An officer is choking a guy with his baton. I shake my head at the scene, lagging behind to see what happens, the cops says something to the blonde on his grasp and then o lets go of him. Saying something else that  I couldn't quite make out from where I was standing. I shift back a little bit more so I could   watch as they walked away without being spotted. They all seem to be collected despite being roughed up by the cop. And just when I think I’m home free I catch one of their eyes. My eyes widen and I hurried to look away from them. I couldn't  moved away fast enough from the carousel.  I wasn't meaning to attract attention to myself. 

   One I got past all of the attractions,  I hurried to my car, I struggled to get my keys out of my pocket. In the midst of me looking for my let’s, I felt someone watching me and a chill ran down my spine, hurrying my moments because I didn’t want to end up  on the back of a milk carton. With that thought I finally find my keys and leap into my car, shove the key into the ignition starting it, I got in and drove away from the boardwalk and to "Grandpa"  Emerson's house. I sped up  in part because I was on edge and slid because I already knew  that nobody was coming up or down the road. I got  there in one piece and got out of the car,and after making sure I locked my car doors,  I started walking up to the door with my key in hand, the feeling of being watching never once went away even as I drove so, as I turned the key I felt my heart beating even faster, like. I was on the verge of a panic attack. I breathed a sigh relief when I got in and locked the door. "Back late again I see. What's got you so shaken up this time?" "Grandpa" Emerson asks. "Nothing really. Just paranoid a little but I'm fine." I reply. "Okay. Well its time to hit the hay." He says. I chuckle at his words nodding my head. "Yeah sure." I say.  We both head up the stairs at our own pace and head our separate ways.  

Unknown

   I watched her walk into the house with a smirk on my face. Her paranoia was radiating off of her in pools. The other boys were shifting in the trees and I began to chuckle. I heard the door lock click and I burst into laughter.  "Looks like sweet cheeks doesn't want to let us in any time soon. "  That makes the others howl with laughter. "Lets go. We have an annoying guard to deal with." I say. "He always spoils our fun." "And our  little fights." I just scoff as we take off. We get back to the boardwalk just in time to see him heading to his car. Too bad he'll never make it back home. We soop down on him just to scare him a little bit.

   He instantly begins to struggle to hurry himself up. He struggles to open his car door now that he has it unlocked. 'Pathetic.' I think. 'All bark yet no bite.' 'Lets kill him now.' 'Can we?' The boys look at me. 'Go for it.'  They instantly attack his car. Ripping of the roof and dragging him out. The guard kicking and screaming as they fly off with him. He's going to be so much fun to drain. I know that much, I turn my head to see golden rays peep out. Thats how i know its time to head back in. Time flies by fast when you're raising hell, don't it? 

[dervampireprince]

you know who i am but i'm still too shy to hop off anon.. curse u social anxiety. anyways, you gave me toontown and musical brainrot, thanks! i didn't think i'd thirst over a cog but pacesetter & high roller though.. *insert goober emoji here* - 🧋

hehehehhehehehehhehehhe

for those unaware as a subathon reward i played toontown corporate clash with anyone in chat who wanted to join in last night and it was really, i'm glad people joined in.

toontown was an mmorpg run by disney and i played it a lot as a kid, it's the only mmo game i ever played, and there's some fan projects that keep it alive and i got into playing corporate clash this year. and i picked corporate clash over rewritten because i heard it crashed less and well... they have their own ocs, their own new original cog characters that weren't in the original disney game and well...

this is who sold me on getting the game (which is free btw):

this is rainmaker and i love her. look at her. she likes stomping in puddles and alone time but dislikes mean people and socialisation. me too girl, me too. apart from the puddles thing.

and then once i got the game oh boy. then i got changed. cos this man sauntered down the street and nothing was the same again. if you were in the stream you saw me and my partner both being um unable to contain ourselves when he appeared.

this silly guy is duck shuffler, he talks with a lisp, his head is a slot machine, he has pointy lil teeth and his tongue sticks out and i wish i could tell you why we like him but i can't. there's no reasons. he's just an experience. asjkhdgaksjdha.

also high roller is the fused form of duck shuffler and major player.

but yeah also the fandom seems mostly lgbt+ and neurodivergent and the game itself has pride clothes you can put on your toons and the fanart people make is really cool and yeah! they had a makeship plushie of duck shuffler that of course i had to preorder and i will show him off in all his glory when he arrives.

other honourable mentions for cogs who can get it are

litigator

the original design of count erclaim, not the redesign sorry just my opinion and you know i love vampires but i really don't like the redesign for the count of the bloodsuckers i don't like their headshapes or how they look at all.

scapegoat. firestarter. and oh woah lady in a suit of armour: gatekeeper.

of the og cogs before i found corporate clash's ocs the ones i would have put on this list were bloodsuckers (look i've always liked vampires), the mingler (for the frank n furter vibes), loan shark, hmm maybe legal eagle.

corporate clash has so far redesigned all of the lawbots and replaced the leader of them, Chief Jusitce / CJ, with the new Chief Legal Officer and while i like corporate clashes ocs idk if it's just my nostalgia talking but i prefer the original designs over the redesigns and i miss cj.

but the most important character from my toontowning childhood is still here so i guess thats whats most important

i will always love you flippy

anyway. thats my toontown rant.

[caelumsnuff]

I'd love to know your stance about the Leftovers couple (Sam and Darlin's series) because with this back-to-back updates and Quinn is turning out to just be a cliche, abusive ex, I find that I'm seriously disappointing in their plot.

PS: This is the author of THAT fic 🤭

the controversial Sam and Darlin fic?????? omg hii!!!

the leftovers asdkfasdf thats so funny

You know, i feel about Sam and Darlin the way i feel about a lot of Redacted's character, I think they're criminally underutilized and i love everything that they could have been. Redacted's characters often, in my opinion, start out really strong with a lot of potential, and then all that potential and personality fizzles out as they get into relationships/their stories start to move forward. Thats.... not how relationships work, but i guess that's what happens when you shelf plot for fluff so often. It's really quite sad.

We had Sam, who was this mysterious Solaire vampire with a country accent and he somehow knew healing magic good enough to save Lovely's life. We got some of that southern sass that i am so familiar with in the beginning of Darlin's videos, and then it slowly started to reveal a little bit of care. Their story was supposed to be a slow burn, but it wasn't. They got into a relationship alarmingly fast for a character who wanted to take things "slow, very slow." And then...... Sam's personality got fucking sapped out of him, or at least that's definitely what it felt like.

And Darlin started out so strong as well! This (also mysterious) estranged lone wolf from one of the most influential packs in the city out on a search for a rouge old blood vampire. They were stubborn and reckless and chasing after a convoluted dream of killing a vampire that was way too strong for them in an attempt to act selflessly and ended up putting their entire pack in danger. Aaaaaand then they got a "Love Conquers All ❤️" speech from their Alpha who they are incredibly distanced from and some southern vampire cock and BOOM! Personality gone.

It's such a shame how often Redacted does this to characters and plot lines, its like he's immune to writing a story and characters that don't pathetically skid to a halt and underwhelm you. It probably has something to do with the audience and the potential (very likely, very common) backlash he'd get if he actually wrote something with some stakes, which i have talked about a lot (the relationship between Erik and the fandom, there's posts about it linked in my pinned post about it, and also linked in an ask i just answered today)

Just another example of why oh why i so desperately hope everything comes crashing down as the resolution to the overarching plot of the channel.

I have other asks that i have to answer on which ill talk more specifically about the Quinn plot line on, so look out for those, i should be able to get to them today.

Anyways! As always, thank you for the ask!

[blueiight]

I think most VC fans agree with Anne's take on Lestat though, they see him as faultless which the narrative validates cause no one ever challenges his version of events, like we are all just supposed to assume it was Louis who lied and nothing else, that's why they're all up in arms about what happened in the show cause "he would never do that". Hell even with the show some of them think he didn't deserve the murder and fully blame Claudia for causing the rift.

yea, its tricky cuz no one not the meta narrative or in universe actually challenges lestat when it comes to his response to louis’s interview, but id say characters in tvc absolutely challenge lestat’s character [his disposition, ways of thinking, actions& shit] & get on his ass heavy. so i feel like that implicitly should put his perspective in question the same as any other character’s [at least it did for me] but ur rite in that the vc fanbase esp the OGs do fall in line w rice’s own opinions. it certainly didnt help that shed get on ppl’s asses for writing fic, disagreeing with her, had a wide variety of contradictory, differing opinions on her own work& ppls interpretation of the text that didnt agree perfectly w/ however she felt at the time.. yk the whole interrogating the text from the wrong perspective essay on amazon reviews lol. yet certainly we are all bonded in discussing an adaptation of her literary canon which says sum yk. i think expecting a visual medium to perfectly adapt a book line by line is impossible if not borderline ignorance, but an excellent adaptation will show what made the source a good, veritable commentary on humanity. i dont think ppl should fly into deranged clear the searches campaigns when amc does use the merits of rice’s work & interrogates lestat’s crueler ways more than his cruel actions that was glossed over in the source [bc rice had diff intentions/views on it]. i think the nature of visual adaptations done decades after the source mean as viewers, we are already exposed to multiple threads from tvc (tvl, tva, allusions to the mayfair family, the talamasca, the whole impending vampire apocalypse which may or may not be a red herring this time, claudia’s diary, etc) that show this is not only louis’s interview, but a question on the fruit of memory itself. what is recollection to an immortal creature but a drop in the ocean? what does it mean to be immortal, if not living the same live over. and over. and over. again? anyways likeeee tbf at least anne rice had an excuse for why she was so crazy about lestat, he was her muse & based off the man she stayed with all her life. honestly if i made a trio based off me, my old work& our abortion and it blew up like this id delete my presence from everyone’s minds lol. but. them fans dont have an excuse cuz thats not what lestat means to them. ofc these books & lestat’s chara may have been pivotal in their coming of age but i also think as now adults, they should accept w the infamy of tvc & its adaptations mean varying ppl w different frames of reference will have different takes on this. yea, as kids we cant articulate an understanding of dv and intimidation tactics , but as adults u should be able to re evaluate fictional dynamics & have mature discourse w/o flashing out on ppl or going on clear the searches campaigns. i guess the existence of rl martyrs for these fictional vampires answer the question ppl had yesterday on antoinette too? lol

[freshlybakedspiderbread]

looping right back around from too cool for eosd hipster to too cool for eosd hipster hipster, lets hear it for remilia

General opinion/How much I care about them: eosd is absolutely overexposed but that doesn't have to affect how much I genuinely like the sdm crew, and Remilia 🧛‍♀️! its a little funny how the og (well og windows) final boss has somewhat faded into the shadow these days, but then again you kinda cant predict who will suddenly become relevant in canon anymore

Either way, I like Remilia! the devil who insists on playing up her castlevania aesthetic to outsiders whenever possible. Despite general fandom playing her up as a spoiled sort, I do believe in her dignity as head of the household at least to the extent that she cares about her entire makeshift family dearly and has long since carved a proper place for them all in gensokyo...

A ship I love: There's really only two big Remilia ships for me, and those are with Patchouli, her oldest and dearest friend, or Sakuya, her devoted human maid. what I like about remipatchy is a lot to do with the implied history and closeness they have, but that's not as easy to just get into on the spot, so i'll instead talk about remisaku.

They're really funny, and bizarrely sweet in ways thats quite unlike any other ship. A lot of it has to do with Sakuya in particular being the most youkai-like being in the whole mansion despite being the only human. The imagery of the dark vampire mistress and her loyal servant is something that they both enjoy playing up and only get more into it whenever the other starts encouraging it. And yet its definitely Remilia who probably has trouble sometimes keeping up with Sakuya...

also remisaku is also a staple for that melancholic ageless creature x mortal human relationship, ever since Sakuya said that thing about wanting to live as a human... Many fans of gone into depth in it in many different stories over the decades, because its a good cliche!

i know technically you can do that kind of story with just about any human x nonhuman, but in my opinion there are only two touhou ships that genuinely warrant and fit with it. One is mokou/keine, because being unable to die is obviously mokou's entire deal (while the other immortal characters explore other facets that come with living forever), and the other is remisaku, even if only because of one iconic line of dialogue, and because they came first 😛

A non-romantic relationship that I love: I think the only people Remlia would trust to take care of Flandre (as in both caring for her and also being capable of doing so) outside of sdm (so basically sakuya, patchouli and meiling) are Reimu and Marisa. while i don't think Reimu's ever actively offering to do so, Marisa's frequent visits to the sdm probably makes as a sorta surrogate big sister to Flandre, which maybe annoys Remilia to some extent especially when Flandre jokes(?) about only having one sister who is also blonde, but i think she's pretty happy about it otherwise n_n

although of speaking of blonde people visiting Flandre and acting as a surrogate something! I really love to imagine what madness is going through Remilia's head when it comes to Okina, this sage who basically abducted her little sister who is not supposed to casually go ouside and take her on as some weird protoge

The NOTP: i mean aside from the obvious 'dont ship with her sister', i guess i dont have any feelings for remilia/reimu. I know Remilia was basically the first of Reimu's enemies turned recurring visitors, but there's also been so many more exciting examples since (which uh even include Sakuya!)

My biggest headcanon about them: you know, it is also funny how koumakan doesnt entiiirely gel with touhou's worldbuilding since then. like what role do they even serve in gensokyo? how are they maintaining their wealth? I know they were already rich when they arrived, but its been a long time since, andthey're gonna run out of trinkets or old hierlooms to sell eventually, right? Though I guess if the sdm crew want to claim the entirety of misty lake belongs to them, uuuuh whos gonna care enough to stop them? Yeah that's my headcanon, Remilia and her crew have claimed everywhere within like a hundred square feet of land of their mansion as their private property.

An idea for a fanfiction I would like to write/read about them: gosh i think any kind of fun or interesting story involving remilia or sdm i can think of, I've probably already seen it somewhere! that's the power of eosd popularity!! Not that a good idea can't be done more than once but it means im not exactly left wanting 😄

Something that makes me think of them: i kinda cant think anything this moment and trying to force it would probably be really unnatural, but i will say Remilia is the only member of the aristocracy i would respect. probably.

[paperconsumption]

as.k game. ritsu and yuzuru now

ehehehehe <- evil laughter

ritsu:

Sexuality Headcanon: man i havent even thought about this. bi i guess? i dont think ritsu has thought about it either Gender Headcanon: agender!! ritsu my dear she is so agender to me A ship I have with said character: i enjoy ritsumao and ritsumika and kogaritsu and honestly any ritsu ship you put in front of me. im not insane about any of them tho....somehow A BROTP I have with said character: ritsu and koga!! they're so silly i love how much ritsu messes with koga. and all of knights ofc. and ritsu+tetora which i made up all by myself from the one chapter of beasts i read A NOTP I have with said character: nobody really?? i guess ritsumao can bother me in certain contexts but thats all A random headcanon: ritsu reads edgy fairy tale retellings and loves them. he's like obsessed he sees some book called Dorothy Bites with the tagline "what if the wizard of oz...was actually a VAMPIRE!" and he giggles with delight and buys it immediately General Opinion over said character: RITSU I LOVE RITSU sometimes i forget for a bit how much i love him til i see a random picture or put him in a cutesy mv and i lose it all over again. ritsu!!!! i know a lot about his character and stories but i doubt my knowledge,,i need to know more before i can truly say i have a phd in ritsuology

yuzuru:

Sexuality Headcanon: i havent thought about it oopsie Gender Headcanon: some type of boy and also some type of girl A ship I have with said character: midoyuzu <33333 imagine lots of emoji hearts im not on my phone rn A BROTP I have with said character: yuzuru+wataru !! guys who wear masks A NOTP I have with said character: yuzuru and tori,,i dislike it A random headcanon: he enjoys punk music a lot and thinks its nostalgic. imagine yuzuru in his normal classy attire with earbuds in and a little smile on his face and you get close and only hear Screaming General Opinion over said character: auwafoguh. yuzuru. he really snuck up on me i didnt think id like yuzuru as much as i do. i love reading stories about him even if hes only there for a chapter it becomes a story about yuzuru. im always gathering small bits of characterization to look at at a later date and go :33 yuzur. what a fascinating guy i desperately need a nui of him so i can grasp its little head and shake it around

[eidolonightmare]

thats so silly because my name is vincent!! who knows maybe im your cat in disguise.....

OOOO NICE QUESTIONS!! okay

1 — this one is hard simply because im unsure if theres any extra rules,,, i would love to solve a world issue, but that doesnt seem like a realistic answer. im also a bit indecisive, honestly.. BUT. i think i might like to be well known for my kindness or art, as my accomplishment. because if i do something like reach other people's hearts, maybe i can inspire a larger change and motivate them too. maybe id like to start a movement in fact, advocate for animals and minorities and keeping the world healthy. i have a lot of opinions that do me no good if i dont act on them. or if i end up being an author or famous for my drawings / other art, i can use my platform like that from there

2 — my favorite color varies! i love all colors, but i think my favorite palettes would be dark colors and pastels. (indecisive..) my favorite animal might be cats, however i have a deep adoration towards most animals out there, if not all. my favorite song.. hmm.. that changes, sometimes daily! but right now id say either vampire empire by big thief or angel by massive attack. my favorite thing.. i could never choose! theres so much to love, like time with friends or the rain or music or love itself. maybe ill go with that last one.. (silly since im on yanblr, huh?)

3 — my hobbies would include all forms of art, reading, dancing occasionally, consuming a lot of media.. and my interests would be,,, specific bands, some shows (iwtv, alnst if that counts, tlou, etc), some book series (so many actually), writing, and again all other art forms! i also like to analyze lyrics and make lists!!

4 — i dislike being alone, being rejected or abandoned, and cruel people. i also dislike criticism and being interrupted or ignored

5 — this has always been a hard one for me.. once upon a time i would say talking to animals, and while id still love that,, i might like teleportation better. simply because most of my loved ones are so far away, and i miss them dearly

OH ALSO would you like me to choose a sign off?

i'm sorry, this literally took me over a day to respond... I'M SO SLOW! i apologizeeee T_T

omg, i knew it... you're secretly my cat.

1 — oh i wasn't thinking of any extra rules, it was mostly just a question to see what you view as most important i guess hehe. that's a good answer ^_^ it's cool that you also do art and write! i do that, too, so that's cool to me, something we have in common. i think my ideas for responding to this question are pretty similar to yours :3c "i have a lot of opinions that do me no good if i dont act on them" like what?

2 — fair! all good choices. i'm glad you like animals; i see that as a good trait to have. i love animals too ^_^ i'll have to listen to those songs! that's understandable ehe it's quite a big question to ask your favorite thing. that's sweet :3

3 — awesome! i need to read more ahaha... cool :3 could you name any of the bands and book series? i am curious. what do you like to write? i like similar things to you, so that's awesome.

4 — me as well for all of those things...

5 — that makes sense! if i chose teleportation, i would chose it for stupider reasons than that LOL. personally, i'd choose shapeshifting, because 1. i hate my appearance and 2. i could turn into a monster to protect myself or a little tiny thing to hide as needed. and i love cheetahs, so i'd want to be a cheetah, just for fun. i'd also love to talk to animals, though. i do wonder if shapeshifting into one would allow me to talk to whatever kind of animal i'd be? i hope so.

that would make it easier for me to check your previous asks in the future, so yes ^_^ and sign-offs are fun, at least to me... so yes, unless you don't want to. i can always give you a nickname.
