Unlock the Secret to a Toned Physique and Unbreakable Ankles with Yoga. ...

[fangirl-k8ee-ladyknight]

Is there/could there be a fic where

1) Roy takes the yoga mums to the charity gala after he’s been promoted to gaffer and just tells them it’s a work thing that he thinks they’ll have fun at and he buys them all glorious outfits and gets them a limo, the whole nine, and all they have to do is bid on Jamie for him.

2) Roy asks Jamie “do you trust me? Then have fun. Peacock. Pull an audible and tell the bidder they can pick the date. Enjoy your prick self.”

3) the mums buy his date and tell him he needs to wear clothes he can be *flexible* in and roy just tells Jamie to go with it.

4) date is just regular yoga night with Roy and the mums with wine (that Roy lets Jamie have TWO glasses of) and reality tv show watching and boy problem bitching and he has an absolute blast.

5) the mums “misunderstand” and make comments about how cute a couple they’d make all night.

Either pre-relationship or getting together.

thinking of this again

It is really very funny that Roy uses “prima donna” totally correctly in s1 only to be completely clueless going on about “pre-madonna” in s3, and when people use that as an example of lazy/bad/inconsistent writing & characterization maybeeee they are on to something. However! The alternative explanation is that Roy is just a little bit dumb sometimes. And I think he deserves to be a little goofy stupid <3 peace and love!

tied up in this yoga knot

(Roy/Jamie | T | 7K)

The absolute worst person Roy can imagine meeting the yoga mums is Jamie Tartt. Roy spent far too many hours drinking rosé and glaring daggers as Jamie fucked his way through the cast of Lust Conquers All to explain to them all now that actually, Jamie’s been his coworker for the past three years and actually, they spend most of their days together and actually, Roy doesn’t completely hate the little prick.

Not to mention, then Jamie would inevitably pick up on how many hours Roy spent drinking rosé and glaring daggers as Jamie fucked his way through the cast of Lust Conquers All. And that sounds fucking exhausting.

-

Or, five times Roy successfully keeps Jamie from meeting the yoga mums, and one time he fails.

People getting mad about character interpretations that differ from their own is funny because none of what we say on here is going to change how the characters are written. We already know for a fact that Lestat’s POV will be different in some capacity. And they’ve told us explicitly that we haven’t seen the real him outside of the reunion. Reading from IWTV to TVL gives him a lot more nuance, though obviously what the show changes we don’t know yet. I can’t help but feel that some of the fandom backlash is because people are worried that their headcanons will be rendered obsolete, which TVC might be the very worst property to get attached to in that way, and especially at this point in the story. Anyway, your analyses are always great to read, please keep on posting them!

Yeah, I was actually percolating on this last night as I cooked dinner, but I do wonder if some of this doubling down on Louis as being submissive / a 'housewife' / feminine / bottoming has been partially motivated by Louis explicitly becoming a dom in his relationship with Armand in s2?

I could be way off base here as while I watched s1 as it was airing, I actually wasn't involved in the fandom at all really prior to s2 starting, but I do wonder if with s2 leaning into certain traits (and not even just with Armand, but with the boys in San Francisco, his violence to Lestat prior to the drop [again, not defending Lestat for the drop at all, or diminishing it as a singular act of abuse] and his coldness to Claudia at the end) has created a bigger divide between the canon Louis and the fanon Louis, and if it's that that perhaps creates a certain degree of protectiveness/defensiveness over that fanon version who clearly means a lot to a subset of fandom?

I don't know, like I said I could be way off base, haha, but it's interesting to consider.

Jamie Tartt is walking around when he accidentally knocks into a middle aged woman hard enough to make her drop her yoga mat and she takes one look at him and immediately starts bullying him into carrying her things to the studio to make it up to her.  Jamie goes along.  She is the same age as his mom, and he did run into her.

It’s clear she recognizes him from Lust Conquers All and only Lust Conquers All “How are you keeping yourself busy these days?  Football?  That’ll be just the thing you need!  Time with the lads.  Lord knows, I need my time with the girls.  And you need something to keep you in shape, though more you with how much you take your shirt off.”

Jamie jokes, you must be the only fan of how I was on this show and she’s like “oh no, you were the favorite of everyone.  Show was never the same after you left.  I say that, but the real show I was watching is how every week our young man would completely deny that you were his favorite.  All this bluster, but it was so obvious.  After you got canned, he lost all interest. 

“He’s had a hard time after his break up, of course I understand with my divorce, he was such a help, buying all the drinks, we were trying to do a rewatch to cheer him up but he said no. 

“And he won’t let me set him up with anyone can you believe, when he’s such a handsome and single young man.  Rich, or we think, won’t let on a thing to the rest of us about what he does, no matter how we beg, maureen thinks drugs, but he would never, but it does make him mysterious and very attractive,”

Jamie is like get it girl.  She’s like “hush as if I were interested. I might have a picture let me take a very long time to scroll through my entire camera roll.  No need to help me I’m just sooo old and sooo clumsy with technology.”

Jamie’s like we can take a picture before I have to go and she’s like no!! you can’t!!! because uhhh

Jamie is mentally like got it I am being expertly fillibustered into staying long enough so she can cheer up a guy by trying to set him up with his celebrity crush.  Well, I’m an attention slut with nothing better to do.  I will stay, give out a few photos and autographs what can it hurt.

Only for who to walk in but a stormy faced Roy Kent in a tank top shorts and leggings.

Something something- Even though Ryan seems comfortable in himself (and likely his sexuality) he still sticks to the status quo in the first movie, saying things aren't right when others start to express their various interests, even though in the second movie he's shown to be interested in yoga and baseball (which a theatre kid 'shouldnt' like), meaning he to some extent was repressing himself, and over HSM2 he's learning to be more openly himself around others- something something

Roy x Jamie Prompt:

Jamie is looking for something to watch at Roy's and stumbles across Lust Conquers All on a streaming platform with continue watching over what was clearly the last episode he was on.

[puppypeter]

I always get such a big smile looking at Roy with the yoga mums, he looks so cozy and comfortable and soft and just himself

what i say: yea my day was super lazy. i got nothing done, all i did was sleep and play games, i barely even left the house

what i did: went to the doctor's office, napped, got groceries, played game, washed and hung two machines of laundry, cooked a meal, did the dishes, got groceries again because i had forgotten something, showered, calculated my monthly expenses, changed my bedsheets, then played more game

For werre wrathed hym not so much þat wynter nas wors, When þe colde cler water fro þe cloudez schadde, And fres er hit falle myȝt to þe fale erþe; Ner slayn wyth þe slete he sleped in his yrnes Mo nyȝtez þen innoghe in naked rokkez, Þer as claterande fro þe crest þe colde borne rennez, And henged heȝe ouer his hede in hard iisse-ikkles.

basically i had an extremely miserable night (neutral) here are the vibes:

boots and pants sopping wet from walking through snow with no path for upwards of an hour. fell over more times than i can count

melted the rubber soles of my boots trying to dry them also singed my hair

read sir gawain and the grene knyzt. passage quoted above hit (i put it in the hut logbook)

TWO animals crawled over me during the night <3 second one felt too light to be a possum so i am thinking maybe bush rat

just drank like boiled plain water bc i forgot any kind of flavourings but i was sooo so cold. did find a few drops of whiskey someone had left though and mixed that in

got a little lost on the way back but made it back to the tags marking the route and found that some other people seemed to be walking towards the hut as i came back – i followed their footprints back to the road and my car. i survived.

drove home barefoot legs out because my pants and shoes were that fucking soaked through

sometimes you have to put yourself through harrowing experiences

I fucking forgot that Augusto's momis kind of Augusto's mental coach with the Yoga approach.

“Yeah but you can beg for forgiveness later” <3 OKAY Roy

[hidden-highlands]

despite how much i detest both the idea and the practice of waking up early, i will begrudgingly admit how much more i seem to achieve when i do

[pynkhues]

It is interesting with Antoinette. I could see it being that Lestat genuinely had affection for her, even if he would certainly have killed her had Louis personally asked him to -- or it could be that she was just familiar, and he wanted the closest thing to intimacy he could get, so someone who knew him was better than someone who didn't. And the whole possibility that she reminded him of Gabrielle in some ways...

(x)

Yeah, I totally agree, anon.

I actually unfortunately suspect that Antoinette isn't a character the show will really come back to, and I think I'm one of three people that cares about that, haha, but where I tend to land on her relationship with Lestat is the fact that neither Lestat nor Louis actually have any friends.

That's not to say that I think Lestat and Antoinette were just friends, I don't, they obviously fucked a lot (which like, also comes down to the fact that Lestat doesn't know how to have friends he doesn't fuck, haha), but I do think the reality is that Lestat and Louis have very different racial and cultural contexts, hobbies and areas of interest which aren't things they can easily share with each other, especially not in early-1900s America, and I think that's a bigger factor in their relationship breakdown than either will admit to.

It's why Louis' able to reconnect with Jonah so quickly - they might be leading different lives, but they have more overlapping factors than they don't, whereas he and Lestat have less than they do - and for Lestat as a white theatre kid, he needs to be around other performers. I think with Antoinette, she's obviously a talented vocalist and an ambitious artist, and I can see that genuinely just being company that Lestat wants to be close with. They probably talk shit about crap theatre they've seen and do vocal runs together and fuck, and honestly for a part of Lestat, that would lowkey be a dream relationship, haha. Do I think they have a deep emotional connection? No, but given even Louis' willing to admit she's talented, and his own complex relationship with not succeeding as an artist, I wonder how much that factors in to his portrayal of her and his insecurities around their relationship (to say nothing of the fact that she's both white and a woman).

This feels like it's going on a hundred tangents, haha, but my point is maybe they'd step out on each other less or descend into unforessen levels of chaos and destruction if they both had a few friends they could talk about their identities and niche interests with!!
