This season also spends a considerable amount of time on several characters’ indoctrination into the Parisian Theatre des Vampires. It’s an effective framework for this particular chapter of Louis and Armand’s story. These sequences are so staggeringly beautiful and a stunning distillation of what Interview with the Vampire represents. It’s such a unique breed of horror that could only be found in this series and harkens back to classical genre storytelling like The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari or the works of F.W. Murnau or Fritz Lang.

What would my super power be? Finger guns that shoot naps. Friends, enemies, doesn't matter who they are. They go down and 2 to 4 hours later they wake up refreshed and forgetting why they were upset.

You’ve done a few versions of “what if ____ was given a second quirk” and I had a similar question. Assuming it was around in the main story who would be some interesting host’s for Queen Bee to possess?
While this will be handled a lot like those “what if ____ was given a second quirk” asks, this is a little different. Because as we've seen with Pop Step, Kuin can't seem to use the host's powers in tandem with her own like other multi-Quirk users. So instead of powers that would fuse well with it, this is more powers that work well with it.
Centipede: While this could be used to extract the venom from the pincers to use with the bee stringers, I really wanted to include this just so we have the horrifying combination of bug Quirks.
Invisibility: This seems unfair. Between the sheer range of the power and being invisible, the user is going to be impossible to find. It's even worse if it can apply to bees and you get the dread Invisi-Bees.
Acid: Did you ever see that fight in Part 6 of Jojo where a Stand fills up a bunch of mosquitos with acid and spreads it among the main cast? Yeah, that would be horrifying to deal with to say the least.
High Spec: This is to be used in tandem with the immense sensory abilities of "Queen Bee". With the greater processing power, the user could process so much more information that are perceive through the bees.
Somnabulist: Assuming that the needles the bees use can intake gas as well as liquid, this could be an extremely useful. It could expand on her subterfuge abilities by letting her selectively and subtlety disperse the gas to people.
Super Regeneration: With how the bio-physical link can do a lot of harm, this is the perfect counter with it. You can lose and sacrifice the bees a much as you want it will mean nothing. Plus it offers some much needed personal protection.
Glamour: Similar logic to "Somnambulist", but I would argue a lot more useful. Using the bees to give off sights and sounds wherever the user wants would be a lot more useful, especially since you'd have zero indication of where they are coming from.
Frog: This might just be the most useful one. Not only does it offer a suite of physical abilities from the host, but "Frog" can produce a variety of liquids that could be used in tandem with the needles of the bees. That offers a whole new level of applications.

tag gamed tagged by @mahjongroom (poses) last song listened: im saying three songs. try to stop me HOW DOES IT FEEL by doopees. i really love this song in general but it reminds me a lot of my dear cesare, less the lyrics and more how theatrical and expressive it is. which may sound silly for a character who doesnt express much outwardly but it means everything. to me friends in low places by worthikids. i love narrative songs i love cesare the somnabulist i love gothic themes i love when people die and come back. also reminds me of (mumbles) but thats a far stretch 20,000 degrees by mauve. emo music has me in a beartrap atm currently watching: im not really watching anything. i finished the terror s1 if that counts. it was pretty alright, love mr fitzjames EDIT ive been watching kamen rider w again. i like it :) love kamen riders costumes tbqh
currently reading: im reading a book i bought for a friend called dark matter by michelle paver and im only a couple pages in and im really worried ive made a mistake and bought a shitty book 😭 going to read further but maybe the type of writing just isnt for me? but i really dont trust these character descriptions so far. unsure yet, but it was recommended by a mutual (hi veronica) so ill try to keep faith and hope to god i dont have to buy another. or ill just stop and read annihilation instead current obsession: read this as ocd obsession at first and not like what you are into right now and was like isnt that a little personal 😭. anyways trepanation counts i think i tag uhhhhh. @ousama @giant-goldfish and @greaterhorrors if you dont like doing these you can ignore this and just imagine me saying hello like this: hello!

Rules: Go to your published works on AO3 and list the first fic you ever published there, the last fic you published, any fic that you wrote for a fandom/ship only once, your favorite fic you wrote in the fandom/ship that has the most works, the fic you wish more people read, the fic you agonized over the most, the fic that sprang fully formed from your mind without any effort, and a work you are proud of—for whatever reason.
First fic I ever published was a little Dragon Age AU called Somnabulist. I'm not linking to it because I haven't read it in years, and I posted it in 2011. In it I explore the idea of an older Connor Guerrin reflecting on his life, eleven years later.
The last fic I published was a FFXIV fic, No Going Back, a Thancred/WoL smutfic which is me still drawing strings trying to get my Urianger/WoL/Thancred OT3 all on the same page.
A ship I wrote for only once was a giftfic for a Valentines exchange, Six Things, an Isabela/Bethany smutfic based on the preferences of the secret recipient. It was my first crack at femslash, one of my earliest goes at smut in general, posted in 2012, and I haven't read it in years. IDK how it holds up.
I really should consider taking some of these older ones down, LOL.
While I technically have more works in FFXIV, they're all loosely connected one shots, so the fandom I have probably written the most for is Dragon Age. My favorite fic out of that is still A Queen's Regrets, which is the Life and Times of a post-Blight Queen Cousland who makes a lot of very dodgy choices, and the fallout that has on Anders' life in DA2, as well as her own.
A work I wish more people read is literally anything I've written for FFXIV, but as I'm still new-ish in the fandom, I understand it being my least popular. If I had to pick one from it, though, it would be Favors, where Minfilia asks my WoL to check in on a grieving Urianger.
My FFXIV fic is also what I've agonized over the most, particularly Remember. I'm always worried I am going to get these voices wrong, and I find the Ancients particularly intimidating.
The one that sprang fully formed in my mind was A Queen's Regrets. I had the concept in my head and pounded it out inside of a week, though I did revise it last year to make it align with my other DA works.
A work I'm quite proud of is A Secret of Bees, a Sif/Loki fic. I'm not sure exactly why, as looking back I'm not sure I'm entirely happy with the story, but the writing style I used is a white whale I've chased ever since.
I'm not going to tag anyone, but I'd love to see what anyone else has done.

12, 20, 27!
From Hypnosis Kink Asks
12. What’s your favourite kind of hypnotic induction?
Aw, so many to choose from, but kinesthetic, when I can put my hands on someone and move their body through space and see them trying and failing to resist!
If you want something more specific, idk if I have a single favorite but dance trance is pretty incredible.
20. What’s one tip you have for other hypnotists/subjects?
For hypnotists: don't stress too much about your technique, this shit is like 90% rapport. If you're comfortable, spend some time on the other side of the watch so you're a bit more familiar with what your subjects are experiencing.
For the subjects who want to switch more: see above re "it's all fuckin' rapport", and know that hypnotists get into a kind of trance state too when we're trancing folks, and I promise you know allll about that, so trust all the tasty hypno knowledge that's seeped into your brain after all this time, and just let yourself flow-state it out.
For subjects who feel like "bad subjects": everyone does this shit at a different pace, in different ways, and has different strengths. We can't all be supermagic amnesic somnabulists. Keep experimenting, keep approaching with an open mind, keep noticing the little shifts and the little successes rather than beating yourself up for the things that don't go the way you want them to, and play with people who support you in this journey!
27. What’s your favourite work of hypnosis erotica?
This is an extremely rude question >:O
Wow, extremely hard to answer this one, but I do know that one I keep coming back to is "Asking for It" by Dream Operator. She needs to write more smut!! (Honorable mention to anything @jukeboxemcsa writes, cuz DAMN.)

Somnambulist,
In the day, he went around like a somnabulist.
“Ngày hôm ấy, anh ta dạo quanh như một kẻ mộng du”
Redamancy
Là một từ
Cũng là cả một câu chuyện...
(Có thể nó có nghĩa là một tình yêu trọn vẹn; a full love; khi người mình thương cũng thương mình. Dù phải trải qua chông gai hay có phải mất nhiều thời gian. Đó vẫn là Redamancy.)
Salad days
Bạn cho rằng đây là Ngày để chúng ta ăn Salad sao?
Nhưng thật ra, nghĩa của nó là
“Những năm tháng tuổi trẻ chẳng vướng bận sự đời”
Nó làm tôi nhớ đến mối tình đầu của chính mình, quả thật là lời hay ý đẹp.
Woebegone
Lần đầu tiên khi nhìn th��y từ này, tôi đã nghĩ nó có nghĩa là “hạnh phúc” ấy, hay ít nhất cũng phải là “Chẳng còn nỗi buồn”. Chẳng phải vì “woe” tức là “đau khổ”, “Be gone” có nghĩa “rời đi” sao? Sau khi tra từ điển, tôi mới bất ngờ vì nó có nghĩa là “bi thương”. Thì ra, “đau khổ” vì người đã “rời đi” mới là ý nghĩa của nó
Shmily
Shmily được bắt nguồn từ chuyện tình của ông bà ngoại. Một trong những trò chơi nhỏ họ thường bày ra là một người sẽ viết từ “shmily” xung quanh ngôi nhà, và những người còn lại sẽ đi tìm.
Đây là trò chơi yêu thích của ông và bà. Trong cuộc sống hàng ngày, họ sẽ viết nguệch ngoạc “shmily” ở bất cứ đâu, có thể là tủ lạnh, trên bàn, trang sách, hay thâm chí là hơi nước còn đọng lại trên gương sau vòi nước nóng.
Cho đến khi bà trở về với cõi vĩnh hằng, những đứa cháu đã hỏi ông về ý nghĩa của nó.
Hóa ra, “shmily” chỉ đơn giản là “See how much I love you”…
Agony
Trạng thái đau khổ
Phát âm của nó gần giống với “Ai guo ni”, tức là “Từng yêu em”
Bởi vì là “từng yêu em”, nên mới thật sự “đau khổ”
