softly softly from the shadows

Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of someone else's actions that I am directly impacted and severely affected by

i’m just having fun. hatred is involved but i’m just having fun

truly the way this season has made me feel like a clown like sorry i enjoyed the tv show you wrote thats on me my fucking bad glad ur just dancing around stamping on everything i found interesting and mocking me for liking it ok like truly what the FUCK happened in these two years

i’m sick of ppl trying to equivocate that claudia could’ve been that hateful and mad at louis without the racism. no she wouldn’t be. the entire thing is out of character for the iwtv canon, stop trying to give an inch when none of it even matters anymore. even in the books it’s clear that it’s not fully claudia and louis was shittier to her there. or accepting that he was a pimp after all even if that’s not ~all he was. no he wasn’t. we have long since traced back to the exact real life brothel owner the s1 writers transferred 1:1 to louis. missing and honoring the black writers who made iwtv also means respecting the story THEY wrote, and we don’t have to concede some bullshit about louis having been selfish or cruel or equally at fault for claudia’s abuse. it’s still victim blaming to say the seance was right that louis didn’t change bc he’s taking the abuser back. it’s victim blaming to equivocate that he and armand equally couldn’t consent to the bdsm and that louis was a bad dom even if he still didn’t need to apologize to armand. that antiblack torture scene has nothing to do w louis’ relationship with armand, it has no basis in canon at all, they just wanted the nbpoc to torture louis bc of the optics bc why the fuck would fareed even be there lol? don’t internalize this white supremacist revisionist bullshit, this show used to mean a lot to jacob for a reason, he and delainey came back for a reason, and we know they were lied to. louis was never selfish or a pimp or cruelly culpable for withholding to the powerful men who hated and battered him, that’s not softening his agency for perfect victimhood. claudia came back to see him because she loved him and loved him until her very last breath. we know what we saw

fully sober in the club googling vampires

too bad interview with the vampire (2022-2024) was never renewed for a third season. sad!

sometimes u gotta be like “ okay ” & leave that shit alone

very telling how only white or pale racially ambiguous characters are hit with the transgender in popular fandom culture

This with the coupling of white people only engaging with media where they feel themselves represented + not viewing Black or visibly ethnic POC as relatable solely off their race/seeing white as the default + incorrectly assuming all Black people are cishet when (speaking from the experience of a black American) we have had a significant queer and trans populace in this country for decades possibly centuries with a rich culture and history. Whether intentional or not this furthers the alienation of Black and Brown lgbts and shows us you don't view us with fellowship in mind and treat us as uncommon outliers.
