Maybe the 'humanization' of iwtv's amc version threw people off a bit.
I know I felt a certain kind of disconnect due to a horror show looking like a gay hipster drama.
But the show is still about monsters.
In the actual sense.
As in 'not human'.
And monsters act differently and have a different 'moral codex' if you can call it that.
So constantly pitting them against each other in a way where one party is measured by human standards makes no sense.
They are all equally horrible and by vampire standards that makes sense.
I get everyone is rooting for their fave and has therefore more compassion for one specific set of trauma, I know I do, but the discourse about who is the evil one is still extremely off.
Like, we should be looking from a human perspective, so everyone is evil, since they would all kill us.

hey, so, with people starting to talk about until dawn again, i think i'm gonna do something i swore many many years ago that i wouldn't do. i'm gonna ask the hard questions, the tough questions, the questions that will likely get me blocked, muted, and blacklisted seven ways from sunday. these are questions i've asked before, questions that bothered people, questions that made people look inside themselves for answers, questions that, dare i say, had people rioting in the streets, but you know what? someone's gotta tackle these issues. it might as well be me.
perhaps some of you already know where i'm going with this. perhaps some of you don't. either way...
why the fuck did the washingtons put so many goddamn couches in that lodge?!
"it's, like, a ski resort, isn't it? people gotta sit." THE LAST TIME I PLAYED THE HIT 2015 PLAYSTATION EXCLUSIVE UNTIL DAWN I THINK I COUNTED 31 COUCHES BEFORE I GAVE UP. I DON'T CARE HOW MANY VISITORS YOU'RE EXPECTING, AT A CERTAIN POINT YOU GET BANNED FROM FURNITURE WHOLESALERS FOR THAT KIND OF DEVIL-MAY-CARE PURCHASING ATTITUDE!!!!!!!!
DO THEY NEED A DIFFERENT COUCH FOR EVERY DAY?! IS THAT WHAT IT IS?! oh, this is my monday couch! i couldn't possibly sit on it today, what with it being wednesday and all! WAS THERE A DEAL GOING ON?! WHEN THEY WERE FURNISHING THE LODGE WAS SOMEONE DOING A BUY 1 GET 5 FREE DEAL?! DID NOT PURCHASING THE COUCHES MAKE LESS SENSE THAN OVERINDULGING IN THEM?! I ASK YOU!
but that's not even the worst
no, no it's not even close
the sheer number of couches is irresponsible, yes. baffling, even. but i could overlook it. y'know? i could. i'm a chronically fatigued little so-and-so, and i appreciate a couch when i see one, okay? i see a couch, i feel safe, i get that. fine. sure. give the people what they want - seating. plentiful and varied seating. whatever.
no, my problem comes from one fucking couch in particular. one. horrible. terrible. inscrutable couch. i speak, of course, of thE BATHROOM COUCH
WHY IS IT IN THE BATHROOM?! THE ROOM SPECIFICALLY FOR THE BATH?! WHY IS IT DIRECTLY BESIDE THE FUCKING BATHTUB OF ALL PLACES?! AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH YOU KNOW THAT THING'S JUST FULL OF MOLD!!!!!! ITS FIBERS ARE RUINED. ITS UPHOLSTERY IS RANCID WITH MILDEW
"oh but queenie, it's just a little stand you can put your clothes on and stuff!" NO, I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT THAT - I'M TALKING ABOUT THIS SPORE-MAGNET RIGHT HERE!!!!
THAT'S THE BITCH! THE FULL SIZE FUCKIN COUCH RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE KING SIZE BATHTUB. WHY DO WE NEED THIS?! WHY ARE WE WATCHING PEOPLE BATHE? ARE WE LOUNGING ON IT WHILE WE WAIT FOR THE TUB TO FILL?! WHY IS THERE A BLANKET OVER PART OF IT?! WHAT IS THE PURPOSE?! WHY DO WE HAVE THIS?!DID AN INTERIOR DESIGNER GREENLIGHT THIS DECISION?!
AND WHY IS NO ONE ELSE TALKING ABOUT IT?!?!?!??!?!?!

lets never waste a year of our lives on a minecraft server again!! since they always crash and burn anyway
regardless of what happened or will happen, I still loved my time here I wouldn’t have met Kia without qsmp, I wouldn’t have met half the wonderful people here. This sucks but love what you had, love what you got out of this, though vent all you like because this feels like a stab to the heart and then falling down a set of stairs.

"Dean Winchester loves lesbians"
Dean Winchester would have a panic attack upon seeing a hairy woman, a butch dyke would lead to an instant heart attack & a trans woman would upset him so much he explodes into tiny, tiny particples.

Ugh I really don't like complaining about random stuff people do, but the guilt-trippy and hostile variations on "reblogs are better than likes" messages on art really bother be so much they trigger my anxiety and make me feel awful every time I see them and I can't freaking filter them because everyone always phrases it differently

More Keeper Reread thoughts: Lodestar
Extremely unpopular opinion but: why the heck do we still trust Keefe????
Yes everything worked out in some cases but if we look at the consequences, they don't balance each other out. Not even a little
I know Keefe is the fandom's little soggy meow meow funny boy but Fitz should've been allowed to hit him like Captain America's punching bag.

i think it's safe to assume that last night the reason why bad tabbed out and came back suddenly upset was because of that announcement made in the discord... that the roleplaying admins are completely on hold until there's money available to pay them... :( yup... tough on all of us, but if there's even a chance they'll come back still, one will cling to it :(
