Just got this sweet print by @theshitpostcalligrapher framed! In a gold frame, of course. As is appropriate.

Now to wrap it up nice and wait for Christmas when my brother (who is obsessed with this joke) will finally behold its glory

What I loved about Cinderella's Castle is it is so entirely about Ella. We know starkid can handle a show with tons and tons of characters but I found it quite refreshing for it to be so wholly her story? I think it was a lovely choice for this show and man Bryce did such a perfect job of it, she is truly such a star

the fact that they've been blindly deceived

by those who preach, and pray and teach...

A Garashir thing I've been messing around with on and off for a while, featuring lyrics from the song 'Lion's Roar' by First Aid Kit! That song gives me such big post-war Cardassia Garashir feelings, they could trade off singing parts of it to each other and it would fit perfectly.

I just received this absolutely GORGEOUS commission of my girl Silaestra and Astarion from the wonderful @dafna-winchester and I'm losing my mind.

I love this so much, I'm kicking and screaming and crying tears of joy!

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Words aren't enough to express just how much I adore this piece!

Back on my bullshit talking about the details in IWTV.

This time: the dance at the mardi gras ball.

Every single time I watch this scene I am floored by the beautiful moment where Louis gets lost in Lestat's eyes and the entire room full of people melt away into nothing and for that brief moment it's just him and Lestat embracing on the gallery floor. It speaks volumes about how Louis' memories of Lestat can be altered by his romanticised recollection seen through the lens of his love. It's a visual representation of the way emotions can alter your perception of reality.

They enter through a fairly busy room, walking between people to take their positions to dance.

As they bow to each other and come together into a waltz hold, the crowd moves to the outer edge of the room, surrounding them. You can't look in any direction without seeing a sea of masked faces.

The crowd is a constant presence as they dance, even in shots focusing on Louis and Lestat the crowd is visible in the background.

Then, as Louis starts to speak about his attempt at distraction being mirrored back onto him in Lestat's eyes, the crowd just disappears.

Almost imperceptibly at first, there are no people in the background.

Then it cuts to a wide shot and the gallery is completely empty except for Louis and Lestat dancing through the space, lost in each other's eyes. Nothing exists but the two of them and this beautiful moment between them.

Then they kiss.

We hear the crowd's response, but in the moment of the kiss they are still invisible in Louis' recollection of that night. It's just him and Lestat. Nothing else matters in this moment but them.

This illusion is then broken as the camera cuts completely away from the couple to show the crowd's reaction to the kiss.

It brings us back to the room with a harsh return to reality, showing us the shock, disgust, and mockery from the crowd, which Louis' rose tinted memory of this moment has shielded us from until now.

Then Claudia brings Louis and Lestat out of the moment and back to reality by breaking them apart and asking Louis to dance, and the illusion is broken for Louis as well as the audience. He is fully back in the reality of the moment now.

The way this sequence is shot to allow this moment of altered memory creates such a beautiful moment in this episode. It's subtle, but so powerful, and it says so much about how Louis feels about this moment, his wider relationship to Lestat, and society's view of him as a Black queer man.
