(via ALONE IN THE DARK)
Who sits and waits in the darkness?
There is no movement in the blackness.
As still as a fox waiting to pounce,
She waits without a ruffle or flounce.
A hissing sigh floats through the air.
Are those snakes slithering in her hair?
The ghostly form stands to meet us.
Is she the hostess sent to greet us?
We stand alone in this bleak hall.
There won’t be dancing at this ball.
Time to leave this creepy place
And quicken this story’s pace.
But since this is a horror story,
We won’t be leaving with much glory.

SILENCE REIGNS SUPREME
Silence reigns supreme. The sun hides its face. Palm trees shake their leaves. Winds quicken their pace. The hotel stands deserted. Flapping sounds fill the air. Dark shadows join the fray beneath his icy stare. THE DEAD GAME by Susanne Leist http://amzn.to/1lKvMrP

Hang In There!
Don't worry bud, you'll be let down soon~ ...probably... But- vampires probably don't have to worry about blood pooling in their head, right? Especially if they haven't been fed in a while...

if i can be honest here this is really one of my least favourite parts of the way the romances are written. the idea that you can only really fall in love once (and both the related ideas that, if this love is real, then every other relationship you've had must not have really been love and that, if you have been in love before, your previous love somehow cheapens the current love) is so completely juvenile. it's the kind of line of thought you'd expect to see in a young adult novel marketed exclusively to 12- to 16-year-olds for whom every emotion feels like the most intense, ultimate feeling they could ever have, and who do not yet have the life experiences to understand (or appreciate) the complexities of love. "i've only ever loved this one person this way, every other feeling i've thought was love has just been a poor imitation" is a pretty thought but is ultimately a fantasy (and one that i, personally, find incredibly disrespectful towards people who have been in love and then fall in love again).
it would be one thing if this idea was espoused by only one of the characters. if only n (just as an example) bought into the idea that only one love can be your true love, then that would say something about n's character, their romantic and life history, the way they view and interpret the world, etc. but instead all of the ros seem to follow this line of thought - they've all never been in real love before, if they and the detective broke up they'd never experience this kind of love again, they're all soulmates, etc. and in that way this idea is not a characterization choice for particular characters, but an idea perpetuated by the work as a whole. and in my (biased and personal) opinion, it's a childish and unrealistic idea.
#i have many many personal little bones to pick with wayhaven. my own hills to privately die on. and this is one of them#except i'm doing it publicly#and to be clear: there's nothing universally wrong with young adult novels for 12-16 year olds. some of them are very good#but if you know the kind of book i mean then You Know#'your vampire romance is unrealistic? fork found in kitchen' yea well this requires more suspension of disbelief than the vampirism#and is representative of an ideology that is personally repellant to me 💕#if this doesn't make sense it's because it was written quickly and barely edited. peace and love on planet post xoxo

The more I think about it, the more excited I am to see Eric Bogosian absolutely tear it up as vampire-Daniel.

Everyday i wake up and think abouthow sad i am that lestat the musical is objectively a horrible musical because i really do think interview with the vampire would probably make the best musical ever
#TO ME#interview with the vampire#iwtv#the vampire lestat#lestat the musical#okay but like litterally the structure of the story would be perfect for a musical#perfect two act structure#the interview framing device would work SO WELL#a play is also like the only place i think you can actually do book accurate armand#because its theater so you can just have short women and youngish theater twinks play him#claudia works WAY easier in a play for pretty much the same reason of suspension of disbelief being different#like in a play all that works so much easier#or like anne rice style oppulance and sensuality would work amazingly in a broadway style production#literally you cant tell me it doesnt also have the exact same audience as the longest running show on broadway phantom of the opera#JUST THINK ABOUT THE THEATER ACTORS PLAYING VAMPIRES PLAYING THEATER ACTORS PLAYING VAMPIRES#it would specifically be my favorite thing ever#i just think theater is actually the only place you can truly make annes vision come to life#god how i long for lestat de lioncourt to sing showtunes to me

Also sorry if this has been asked before but whats ur take on things the viewer sees which happens outside the narrators knowledge? Like lestat asking armand to tell louis he loves him, santiago breaking in to steal claudias diary, lestat in rehearsal speaking of claudias strength, etc. Are we supposed to suspend disbelief and accept it for sake of some story elements needing to be conveyed or should its validity be questioned too? Curious to hear what u think xx
That... is a difficult question.
Re Santiago: I talked about this, but I don't think it happened as shown. I think Claudia would have noticed her diaries missing, and I think that timeline-wise it therefore happened after she had left. As such, it is part of the "tale" that is in Louis' head (and Armand tells).
The rehearsal part is possibly a thought by Louis, maybe triggered by something he saw in the script. We have only had glimpses at the trial script, but even those carried a punch.
Now... Lestat asking Armand to tell Louis he loves him... now that is truly complicated.
I remember an interview where Sam said he grilled Rolin wrt as well. And I don't think there was a definite answer.
Because supposedly we are on Louis' and Daniel's POV in the flashbacks for SF... so how could they know?
As you might know I think some of DM happened in the past. I think Daniel did receive some blood from Armand before. The blood carries knowledge. That is one... albeit feeble explanation.
The other one is a bit more likely, imho.
Because Louis can read Armand's mind. And Armand hesitated to relay the message there... and Louis could have tried to read why then.
Maybe he suppressed that knowledge after. Maybe it was suppressed for him. Either way, I think the second possibility is more likely.
There is also a third one, which is ... unlikely, but there: we are somehow already getting the POV of Amel, who will come into play a bit later (at least in the books). He would have known either way. However, they surely won't confirm that possibility now, and it might just be... better for us to go with "suspension of disbelief" for now :)))) and wait until more hints drop, like the "broadcasting error" that happened in season1 and which turned out to be a hint after all :)

Garrett x Reader part 2
Unsettling revelations
(Y/n) sat across from Chief Swan, her hands trembling slightly as she recounted the events at the museum once more. The grizzled police chief listened intently, brow furrowed in concentration.
"And you're certain this man had red eyes?" Swan asked, jotting down notes.
(Y/n) nodded shakily. "Yes, they were unmistakable. And his skin - it was so pale, almost unnaturally so. And the way he moved, it was..." She struggled to find the right words. "Inhumanly fast and graceful."
Swan's expression grew increasingly grave. "This matches the description of a suspect we've been trying to track down for some time now. A dangerous drifter with a history of violence."
(Y/n)'s heart sank. "So you know who he is? What does he want?"
The chief sighed heavily. "Unfortunately, we don't know much about his motives or origins. All we can say is that he's extremely volatile and unpredictable. A real threat to the community."
Bile rose in (Y/n)'s throat as a horrifying realization dawned on her. "The children... Am I putting them in danger by being around them?"
Swan reached across the desk, placing a reassuring hand on her arm. "We're going to do everything in our power to keep you and the kids safe. In the meantime, I'd advise you to be extra vigilant. Don't go anywhere alone, and keep your doors and windows locked at all times."
(Y/n) nodded mutely, her mind racing. She had to find a way to protect her students, even if it meant putting herself at risk.
As she left the police station, a dark shadow seemed to loom over her. The unsettling encounter had shaken her to the core, but she knew she couldn't let fear consume her. She had to be strong, for the sake of the children.
Little did she know, the danger was closer than she could have imagined...
(Y/n) gripped the steering wheel tightly, her knuckles turning white as she drove back to the school. Chief Swan's words echoed in her mind, the ominous warning about the dangerous drifter sending a chill down her spine.
Her thoughts raced, trying to process everything she had learned. This man, with his unnatural speed and chilling red eyes, was a known threat to the community. And he had singled her and the young boy out at the museum. The realization that her students could be in danger because of her filled her with a sense of dread.
As she pulled into the school parking lot, (Y/n) took a deep, shuddering breath. She had to pull herself together and figure out how to keep the children safe. She couldn't let this stranger's dark presence cast a shadow over their lives.
Stepping into the familiar hallways of the school, (Y/n) felt a small measure of comfort. This was her domain, a place where she could protect and nurture the young minds in her care. She made her way to the principal's office, determined to discuss the situation and implement any necessary safety measures.
However, as she approached the office, she noticed that the door was slightly ajar, a faint light flickering from within. Furrowing her brow, (Y/n) pushed the door open cautiously, her heart pounding in her chest.
The sight that greeted her made her blood run cold.
There, seated in the principal's chair, was the red-eyed man from the museum. A twisted smile spread across his pale features as he locked eyes with her, his gaze burning with a predatory intensity.
"Hello, my dear," he purred, his voice dripping with a chilling menace. "I've been waiting for you."
(Y/n) felt her breath catch in her throat, all the color draining from her face. How had he found her? And what did he want? Panic gripped her as she realized that she was now completely alone, with no one to come to her aid.
Swallowing hard, (Y/n) knew she had to find a way to escape, to get help and protect her students. But the man's unsettling presence and the malice in his eyes made her doubt whether she would even make it out of the room alive.
The tension in the air was palpable, and (Y/n) could feel her heart racing as she braced herself for what was to come. She knew she had to be strong, for the sake of the children. But in the face of this supernatural threat, she couldn't help but wonder if she was truly prepared for the horrors that lay ahead.

Don't worry, I got your back!
....Get it~?
Just wanted to see if I could draw the "behind the scene" of the piece I posted last month~ It was tricky getting the perspective on his legs and the bend of his spine, but I'm pretty pleased with how it came out! Even if Lazarus isn't...
