Had the absurd thought 'wouldn't it be funny if, in-universe, Todd in the Shadows did a video dissecting Lestat's music?' and then remembered that he's IRL friends with noted vampire expert Elisa Hansen/Maven of the Eventide

"How do you read so many books??" I am simply trying to avoid reality, what are you doing

[sunnylemonss]

it should be illegal for netflix to print their little "now a netflix series!" circles DIRECTLY on the cover of books that inspired shows they've cancelled

Tiempo al tiempo. Tiempo que corre, camina y se arrastra. Tiempo que se desliza como granos de arena, cuenta que te cuenta, sin un final admisible. Cae y cae, siempre fijo, consistente. Así es el tiempo, insaciable. Tiempo en que los lamentos tras las mordazas se oyen desgarradores y enseñan la cara más débil de ser humano: el miedo. Porque has conseguido lo inaudito, Scathach. Los verdugos de tus padres te tienen miedo. Temen el mañana y temen lo desconocido. Desde luego que te temen a ti. Y se paladea esa tensión en el ambiente, engordándolo de una manera poco sutil que aplasta los hombros y acelera los corazones.

—Tú. —No hay duda al hablarte. La sonrisa desafiante sigue ahí, la fijeza con la que te observa no parpadea. Todos los polluelos tienen miedo a volar, por eso se quedan en el nido grita que te grita a mamá. Se quedan ahí, arrebufados entre las ramitas, clamando por una atención que les ofrece al vomitarles en el gaznate para luego tirarlos del nido y ver si han aprendido algo de verla llegar o si lo que va a ver van a ser cadáveres al estamparse contra el suelo. En este caso tú no eres diferente. Pero, ¿vas a volar, Scar? Con ese miedo desde luego que no. ¿Vas a hacer que te hagan el trabajo? Pobrecito polluelo, que ni ansias de volar tiene. Ni ansias de volar.

Coges la navaja y avivas su interés. El primer paso está dado, te quedan los otros cien. Tiemblas tanto que todo parece un error. ¿Vas a huir, polluelito? Va a ser verdad que solo mereces ser un cadáver contra el piso. Ni tiempo tuviste de aprender al volar y para más inri ni siquiera se te ocurrió abrir las alas, a ver qué pasaba.

—Corta que te corta, sangra que te sangra. Ahí va la fierecilla, desafiando a la justicia. Grábalo en la piel, grábalo, grábalo. Que no se olvide ni después de pasar el velo. Un mensaje claro y certero. Grábalo. Grábalo en la piel. No sea que se les olvide y ni fantasmas puedan ser. —canturrea sin moverse desde su posición, canturrea mientras observa la escena cuyo deleite en formato de gritos acallados le pone la piel de gallina.

El frenesí es solo uno y los salpicones van dónde quieren. Es el espejo, es la butaca, son las mesas, son los maniquís, es Ambrose y eres tú. Todo adquiere tonos macilentos, se decora con el borgoña de la vendimia y así se pinta la sonrisa de oreja a oreja en su semblante. No dice nada de primeras. Se deleita una vez más, esta vez, escuchando tu respiración. Le gusta el sonido, los ecos lanzados al aire.

—Sabor a muerte. ¿No es una delicia? —Su lengua sale para lamer las salpicaduras—. ¿Primera muerte? —interroga poco después con una curiosidad enfermiza—. Grábate la sensación, el color, sus ruidos. —Sus pasos se acercan a la otra y le quita la mordaza de un tirón, empezando así los gritos por parte de la fémina. Ese odio que rezuma, lo alimenta.

—Ambrose Robards

Happy 20th anniversary Four Swords manga!!! Thank you so much for such an amazing story, and a wonderful community xxx

SHE'S DONE! after a thousand years, she's finally done! ...or at least I'm done with her! (tumblr please don't absolutely destroy my gifs, I am begging you)

(this is not an edit, I drew her from scratch! please do not tag or treat as an edit!)

now you know the real reason I haven't been obsessively drawing Meleanor, which is that I was in fact obsessively drawing Meleanor but in secret. plus a little background just for fun!

I am. not super happy with her rig; parts of her proved way more difficult than I expected and I very quickly hit the point of "okay, this is a silly fan project and not something that I'm being paid for or has to be really functional, time to MANUALLY KEY ALL THE VERTICES FOREVER". I think the end result came out pretty okay though! just...don't look too close. :')

I recorded some of the drawing part, so I might put that up later! in the meantime I am going to make her do stupid poses for my own enjoyment!

I'll follow you downtown the road for pray

And I'll never let you know the truth, that no one's there 💞
