INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2.03 "No Pain"

[laikabu]

kind of annoying that some are bitter about people making laios transfem over transmasc. idk it is really just a more narratively interesting concept to play with sorry. laios was too occupied their entire life to think about their gender that the combination of turning into a monster THEN having more time and luxury now as king forces them to confront it

The Queen in White

The Lord in Black

More than rulers, they are the living Black and White itself, unable to ever fully rid themselves of the other.

Wanted to add some more Yog-Sothoth “knows the gate, is the gate, is the key and guardian of the gate” and Azathoth “our reality is his mindless dream” flavor to Wiggly and Webby in my headcanon in a few ways, and also an idea on why gods have a 5-v-1 stalemate.

elle and emmett from the legally blonde musical are one of those m/f couples that i think work best as a woman and a man purely because their relationship and how elle wouldn't stay at harvard for him because she has grown to want true respect & success more than a man she loves' approval/desire is like so important to the themes of the story and it's the whole point and it's part of what makes them so good. on the other hand emmett could be such a hot butch lesbian it's crazy i want to eat drywall when i think about emmett forrest but a butch lesbian BUT it simply would not improve and in fact would detract from the themes of the story. they have to be m/f

thinking about the fact that Teen Beach Movie is based on a fictional movie Wet Side Story which is based on the musical West Side Story which is based on Romeo and Juliet which is based on the tale of Pyramus and Thisbe.

Orla was Sally favourite before Crowny was born?

Yes…

Imma say this.

If you are a white/non-black artist who's particularly hyperfixated on depicting an interracial (white/black) ship/romance where the white partner is small, submissive, and infantalized and the black/brown partner is large, dominant, and heavily masculinized or coercive. Imma assume you're some kinda racist.

Got my first display tab! And the first thing I tested it with is an anime Connie sketch lol.

HUGE thank you to my supporters at Ko-fi, as that's where I got the funds. 😊😊🤗💕

Seems needed time to get used to, and I use more shortcut keys than the number of shortcut buttons on the tab; but I am already loving the it so far! My laptop, on the other hand, is not handling it too well. 😅

Thistle being a brown child who was parentified growing up vs. Kabru being a brown child who was infantilized growing up so interesting....

jade in batman: secret files (2018) #3 might be one of my favorite stories that she’s in. bruce spends much of the story trying to reach out to her because he sees right through cheshire. he sees exactly who she is - a young woman who has only ever relied on herself and survived in spite of so many things. except, jade is not having it. she pushes back, she fights him, she tells him she’s not one of his "wounded strays" and he won’t "clip her wings." every time he says he sees the good in her, she tries to make him think otherwise.

"Remember, she is your charge. If you leave her, and harm befall, you shall not sleep easy hereafter!"

I think Van Helsing's warning here shows an important question repeated throughout the book: people are depending on you, even beyond their own knowledge of it, are you able/fit to handle the responsibility and the consequences of your choices (and mistakes), even those made with the best of intentions?

This warning is made directly after their choice of leaving Arthur out of the situation proved to be a wrong move (entirely thanks to Arthur's ability to see Through The Bullshit, not of them changing their decision). What would have happened if Seward had been the one to give the blood and the transfusion had gone poorly? If Seward hadn't been strong enough to give Lucy enough blood?

This warning is also made right before Van Helsing *leaves* Lucy in Jack's hands, right after hiding his suspicions and his knowledge about Lucy's mysterious illness, another choice made with the best of intentions but with very clear risks. Lucy is as much of Jack's charge as she is (and in some sense jack also) Van Helsing's charge, and he's leaving them both, a drained tired man and a sickly unconscious girl, to their fate with no knowledge of what they might be up against.

I would say van Helsing is talking to both Jack and himself as well with his warning.

my sources for shuichi being trans:

girl voice (in the original jp - voice is noticeably higher and more feminine sounding than any of the other boys)

general appearance (prominent eyelashes, fairly soft features, pretty androgynous esp when you pair with the jp voice, at certain points if ur insane enough it kinda looks like he has a binder outline)

wears a hoodie to the beach

gets really weird about having to go into the girls bathroom (obvs for different reasons but if you view those lines thru a trans lens then it honestly makes a lot of sense)

depressed and suicidal (not explaining)

im trans and i said so

[blaiddraws]

Genuinely curious, but what is your opinion on Highlandshipping (Melli x Ingo)?

i think it's really funny if it's. like. hopelessly smitten melli with an unrequited crush on a completely oblivious ingo. just so, so oblivious. that specific dynamic just.. fits them lol

but any other way and i am simply completely neutral on it. i can't see ingo returning melli's affections, and I'll definitely avoid reading fics that are about that in particular, but it's not a notp either.

I fell asleep with my watch still on my wrist I feel like the rabbit from Alice in Wonderland
