Weird at last, weird at last.

Missing Loumand badly not because I think they should be endgame (even though I loved them together) but because their levels of cunt will never be matched ever again. You had Helen of Troy and evil Princess Diana in a relationship and we’re just supposed to be okay with them not being on screen together anymore.

*turns my attention inwards* mmmmm. no *turns my attention back outwards* oh god

editing is just you vs. past-you in a duel of questionable comma placement and emotional instability

anyone else notice how when "digital assistants" were just supposed to do specific tasks when you asked for them we had Alexa and Siri and Cortana, but now that they're being marketed as smart enough to take actions and make decisions on their own they've got names like Claude and Devin

sometimes being a fan of something means not wanting them to make any more of it

i joke but it is shitty that we're expected to be 'happy' with 'crumbs' of armand in the tvl season

yes, I want conditions to improve for women in [named country], which is why I don't want the US and its allies invading, bombing, or fomenting a coup there. for every wonderful story of a woman in Kabul getting a better education and an exciting new job while Afghanistan was occupied by NATO, there was a woman in a rural village who wept over her children after they got limbs blown off. this isn't an isolated situation. what happened in places like Chile or Guatemala after US backed coups? in Guatemala's case it led to a civil war where the state committed genocide against the indigenous population, while in Chile Pinochet's regime imprisoned, tortured, and killed their opposition just as brutally. there's an endless list of atrocities that have come from Western intervention, because shock horror, these interventions aren't actually a means of helping anyone but Western capitalists. the humanitarianism justifications the West started using in the 90s are just propaganda

So did episode one convince any more people that Armand wasn’t completely talking out his ass about the covens threat to him, 13 or so to one? Because we saw what those odds looked like with Lestat, who has the queens blood. If he had no backup that was it for him. It would only take one to manage grabbing onto him and ripping his head off. I mean, maybe the coven hadn’t actually made this threat out loud or explicitly, but he implicitly imagines they’d try to kill him if he were to put up a fight to stop it, and so simply doesn’t face those kinds of odds. Path with the most survival that’s Armand’s road. There is a reality where he does win I’m sure, a reality as well where he ever had the thought at all Louis could help him, but there’s also a reality in which he doesn’t, and he has seen it all before with Marius. This is the reality Armand finds to be the most real for him. I’ve always thought this but I’m curious if it’ll get other people to rethink why Armand was so adamant about there being a threat. I’m curious if people would consider it less bogus to conclude. I’m curious if ppl would flip a little on how they see Armand and his relationship to feeling weak against a united group, if he no longer has any authority, or respect. At least in terms of getting why he would think that, I don’t expect people to forgive him to not even trying even so.

Sometimes you like the fandom favorite and that's annoying because you have to see all the wild takes that do not interpret them the correct way. Other times, you like the fandom's least favorite and that's annoying because you still have to see all the wild takes that do not interpret them the correct way.
