#this is obviously tongue-in-cheek

non fandom artists we gotta break free from the false dichotomy propped up by the term "oc" or "original character"... terms that make no sense without an implied fandom "canon" character.. if it's your full original setting and story then those are not ocs they are Just Characters.. canon characters even... can we pretend that fanart is not an assumed default on tumblr forming a standard against which all original art is measured.. can you play in this space with me

I've been saddened forever that Armand is so short and cruel with his statements about Daniel in his book, but rereading it now, I think maybe Armand is just not in a very charitable place about any of the others.

He's been through a big trauma, obviously, and Lestat is still comatose on the floor of the church. Seeing him is the only reason Armand is willing to endure proximity to any of his kind, and even then, he's annoyed by the immortals flitting about and coming to see Lestat and hold vigil for him.

The only person he seems to have kind words for are Marius--with whom he's entrusted the safety of his mortal children--and even then he doesn't want Marius' company. He says repeatedly he only wants the company of mortals at this time, and basically wants to be left alone. Now that he's seen Lestat for himself, he's ready to take the kids somewhere private and spend time with only them for a bit.

And then he says this about Louis, as he's talking about how strong a fledgling David is:

Count on Lestat to make the most lethal of monsters, that is, after his initial seductive blunders-Nicolas, Louis, Claudia-not a single one of the three able to take care of themselves alone, and two perished, and one lingering and perhaps the weakest vampire yet walking in the great world.

Louis who is, at this point, by Armand's own account, coming to check on Lestat regularly and then returning to the Rue Royale flat, presumably to make sure it's ready and comfortable for Lestat when he does awaken. Louis, whom Akasha called the most vicious killer among their kind!

Y'all I think Armand is just maybe in a mood. David Talbot is lucky he doesn't tear out his throat and leave him in a burning building when he presses him to tell his story, tbh.

What I thought Bad Touch was going to be: Siffrin is going to finally grow comfortable enough to be touched more and he's going to finally tell Isa that it's cool to touch his shoulder. It will be a really nice bonding moment between them. I can't wait to reach this part of the game :D

Bad Touch:

Me: D:

Probably stating the obvious here but I'm watching my second Mouthwashing playthrough and I know they said they only added Daisuke last minute But there's only 4 life pods when there are 5 crew members... Meaning best case scenario, not everyone would've been able to use one...

me after time traveling to 1998 explaining to david fincher that fight club would be better and make more money at the box office if he put in a scene where tyler and the narrator make out sloppy style

the pro of "crazy dyke" being Your Type (TM) is that it makes you look like you're """One Of The Good Ones (TM)""" or whatever without even trying. you love queer women in fiction & therefore are freed from every fandom conversation about how most people only like the white men. or something. (the truth is you just like women with complex relationships to queerness, womanhood, & oftentimes their cultures as well, for various personal reasons.)

the con of "crazy dyke" being Your Type (TM) is obviously. God Help You if you want to find fandom content exploring your faves with the kind of messy nuance you thrive on.

moment of silence for my high school religion teacher who was the first genuine leftist and anticapitalist id ever met, but was such an annoying person with such distaste for her students that arguing with her points just to irritate her genuinely set my political development back years. im sorry dr. jane you were right but god at what cost

i've been getting so normie lately. watching videos about personal finance and house cleaning. going to work in an office and making spreadsheets. going out to dinner and getting an overpriced cocktail. tonight i suddenly had the urge to watch the office despite never having seen it before. but a few episodes in, something snapped inside me. i felt like that moment in a tv show where a character in the throes of addiction suddenly looks at the demeaning position they've found themself in and goes "what am i doing with my life?" i saw a glimpse into the life of a normie millennial who works in an office and who comes home so tired that their only hobby is rewatching a show about the same kind of office they just left and the emptiness i saw horrified me. i can't live like that. i can't watch any more. i can have my job and a clean apartment and a budget but i can't go any further down this path. i must stay weird

the way that killing works in comics is that whenever a woman wants to kill someone its sexy and valid

[fluorescentbrains]

i must say though people still bring up antihero as an example of terrible lyricism and that’s baffling to me bc MY opinion is that it’s inspired and legitimately some of her best work. YOU didn’t get it when she said “sometimes i feel like everybody is a sexy baby / and i’m a monster on the hill” but i did

I think the silliest thing to me about all those folks fervently advocating against voting is... even if everything they said were true, voting still wouldn't cause any harm. And it's easy. So why not do it?

Like, blah blah blah, conspiracy theories, psyops, "both parties are the same", doomerism and hopelessness, etc. – okay, fine. I could decide to believe in all of this shit AND still vote. And even from the worldview of someone who believes in all this shit... voting still wouldn't make things actively WORSE, right?

In fact it's kind of like a political version of Pascal's Wager (obligatory "I'm not Christian or even religious at all" disclaimer; it's just that anyone interested in philosophy knows about Pascal's Wager). Instead of picking a row here...

...You can pick a column, here:

So which column do you choose? Left or right?

i really think that some doctors need to be mauled by wild animals what do you MEAN didnt believe theres glands under your tongue!!! how many millions of years ago did he go to medical school!!! im so mad for you right now

i think some doctors just get like disillusioned or whatever but its NO excuse for them to not know that there are salivary glands under the tongue or other very normal things to know. and then be v rude and dismissive about very normal concerns. but maybe the doctor did know what was going on and just wanted me out of the clinic asap.

but also ive had to point out like rlly normal anatomical things to doctors lately im wondering if walk in clinics are just hiring randos off indeed at this point LMAO

[useless-englandfacts]

maybe this is just because i went to a non-selective state school but. i’ve just finished series 2 of heartstopper and i need to know if anyone in the uk has attended a school as clean as the one on that show.

ok fine I’ll play the drk questline if that’s what you fucking want
