*ੈ✩‧₊˚wild cosmia, what have you seen?

i swear i’ve moved on but i just genuinely can’t stand irony poisoning and why was that so the last tvl episode like louis saying the “it’s what you do with the blood” line and them immediately laughing like Wow whooo talks like that!, louis saying “yeah and you ate paper 😜” about Dreamstat like clearly only because the fandom had latched onto that as a meme, louis and lestat joking dismissively about the hurricane nola scene where again it feels like they’re referencing the fandom response or rolin’s insecurity about that scene being too sappy and AGGHH why do we have to do this can’t we just live in the fantasy of sincerity for a moment can’t we live in the same fantasy of sincerity that let us luxuriate in lines like “Be all the beautiful things you are and be them without apology” without some marvel-movie ass quip immediately after about how embarrassing it was

The death of this show will be caused by the thousand and one quips, that the amc writers' room have convinced themselves are quirky and funny. Notice how all of their jokes this season are made at the expense of lived realities that are far different from those the writers themselves may have faced? So you will have a pronoun joke here and a little racism there, with a dash of misogyny sprinkled in between. I cannot get over their little jokey "justice4antoniette", not only because the history of s1- the man of the house cheating on his black spouse with a racist white lady, who was then entrusted with the task of killing the black girl child this marriage produced-but also it feels like such an insensitive jab at the phrase in itself. Something that's so often used as a call to action for victims of violence, and sure we joke around with the phrase too and in fact mayhaps at times diluted it too- but this? THIS?? with the context we have of a TV show that once centered two black leads much to the chagrin of many, so now when there's someone else to lead the show, the characters both black and brown are being made into caricatures and flattened to death in an attempt to soothe the ruffled feathers... Yeah, that's just nasty. Also when you have "Louisiana fried chicken"/"big bad wolf"/"cancerous jackal" all wrt to a black gay man, and then a piece of costume which goes:" hip hop sucks" then the writing is already on the wall, no?

hotd really is fun when you don't have an annoying bitch in your ear saying it's actually the worst thing ever created
