Weird at last, weird at last.

DMers on Twitter are celebrating that comment Sam made about why Armand is so alluring in the book, because Daniel is writing it, ofc! And as a DMer myself, I do find the notion of that quite cute, but kinda hate this implication that Armand is only alluring through Daniel's eyes.

You know how we call things "pseudoscience"... the media analysis that's being done on twitter and tumblr should be pseudohumanities

bad media will piss you off good media will heal your soul bad media that couldve been good will ruin your life forever

daniel "i don't have transformational trauma" molloy & louis "i don't consider myself abused" de pointe du lac & lestat "abuser? liberator. emancipator" de lioncourt & armand "i basked in his mercy" de nolastname. let's all be in denial with mama

the highest recorded wet bulb temperatures in the world occur in india, jsyk. in odisha, they’ve hit 34.6 degrees celsius. the human survivability limit is 35 degrees celsius but the body faces significant risks, potentially fatal risks, even at 30 degrees as it starts failing to cool itself, like i’m talking organ failure levels of risk. climate change isn’t coming to peak, it’s been in the global south where you can’t see it or feel it.

imagine temperatures that high and humidity as high as 75%—you make more heat than you can ever cool. your sweat cannot evaporate fast enough. you literally boil alive. heat deaths in india are underreported and they already hit the thousands. there is no plan, for a nation of almost 2 billion people. no plan. nothing.

Never let anyone stop you from being an Armandpilled Armandmaxxing Armandcel

Lesmand ​pointing fingers at each other going no it was that guy. Daniel you have to believe me it was the other guy who did all that. I wasn’t obsessed and horny and possessive and in love and cruel and doing odd shit in front of all of Paris for that pussy. that was him. no I didn’t make him look extra sexy in my memories what are you talking about. no I don’t want him back are you crazy. believe me Daniel this is a totally unbiased account and I am normal in general and also about him. anyway here’s the bit where he said he loved me so so much and also we had crazy amounts of sex <3

being anti-amatonormativity in a romance centered world is like watching half the people you know put all their eggs in one basket and then drop the basket and all their eggs break and they’re crying and swearing they’re never gonna do that again and then a month later they have all new eggs in a new basket and they tell you the problem was they didn’t have a strong enough basket or fresh enough eggs and then they drop the fucking basket again.

(this post is about putting all your time, energy, and care into one relationship, about staking all your happiness on a romantic relationship, effectively making the entirety of your joy and stability dependent on one person who could exit your life for any number of reasons no matter how great the relationship seems. it’s about the societal expectation to build your entire social life around one long term relationship, putting all your eggs in that basket, so to speak, instead of tending to larger social network and maintaining a variety of strong connections so that even if one very important relationship comes to an end, you won’t be losing your whole social life in one fell swoop.)

Come to think of it, it really is insane that my entire country is burning alive and literally no one in the rest of the world cares. Thousands of Indians are dying every day from the heat, it's 45+ degrees in multiple areas, the government couldn't give two fucks, we're getting severe warnings and red alerts, and not a soul outside of South Asia is speaking about it because why would you ever care about brown people

People hating Daniel for reveling in Lestat's breakdown don't understand him I fear. You're shocked that the guy that made fun of Louis for hallucinating Lestat, that called fake Rashid a rent boy, that needled Louis with traumatic questions, is an asshole??? How are just now realizing that he's a dick??

People are forgetting that he’s chasing another high
