Ello There

being an everything crafter is great but also sucks. like i want to get my watercolors out but i need to put away my microcrochet first. i want to do some leatherwork but my oil paints are on the table. i want to whittle but i'm using the bucket i catch wood shavings in to hold my papermaking mush. i want to write my book but my hands are too busy knitting a sweater. i want to code another video game but i'm too busy studying nalebinding. do you see my problem. the problem is that i need more hands

if brienne is knighted, and i go back and forth a bit on whether i would prefer this to happen or not, i want it to be poignant. brienne was wholesome chungus knighted to a room of cheers and then was later appointed lord commander of the kingsguard (lol) in the show. it is not something that can even give me much catharsis as it was intended to bc it cant help but feel fraudulent and untrue to the ethos of her character and arc in my eyes. if she gets knighted, not that this officiality is what actually defines a “true knight”, that is the whole interrogation and deconstruction happening in these books yadda yadda, i would like it more if it was very private and maybe not even witnessed by anyone else. if it is denied her by most of her society, which it realistically will be, it is still true to her, to jaime, a select few, and, most importantly, the reader. i think that would hit the right beats for me. i like brienne as the true hero of this story who wont really receive her dues and be rewarded, wont be embraced and heralded, but the text nonetheless making the case that this fact does not render what she is any less meaningful. i think that is bittersweet in a p beautiful way for her character

Louis owning half of Lestat's merch sales, opening up a hotel specifically to invite Lestat to the grand opening Knowing it will be trashed somehow just so he can force Lestat to talk to him in civil court, insisting on a "fan experience" to make up for the property damage (the lawyer literally said "yes you have to fuck him if you want him to drop the lawsuit"), using the meeting to try and force Lestat to talk about their relationship problems, and then going to the concert just to look uninterested the entire time.....he is in fact a beautiful unwell!

my favorite thing about louis is he's a business major in a world of theater kids. everyone's playing psychological games with each other through theater and rock music and the fractured art of storytelling and he's like "but what are the margins on my vampire hotel"

paper and pen seems so powerful now. on account of all the. surveillance

people getting mad at iwtv for not fully adapting every nook and cranny of tvl acting like anne rice could string together a coherent story that would be enjoyable to watch onscreen is laughable. it’s the hotd effect like no fire and blood is not a real book ryan condal is doing his level best to reverse engineer a preexisting story that is bad. no the vampire chronicles are not good books and everyone involved in iwtv is moving heaven and earth to make it a bearable watch. many of you are of weak constitution and will not survive the winter can you just hold on for five fucking seconds before declaring that rolin jones committed apostasy and must be drawn and quartered for the crime of adapting mediocre source material.

forgot to leave a note for my doordasher to bring a blunt weapon to get past the catacomb skeletons so congrats to whichever necromancer is about to get my banh mi i guess

something totally normal to have memorized off the top of your head, baby girl

If I had a nickel for every time Dan Levy wrote a tv show about a tightly-wound queer man who's the endlessly frustrated, judgmental, but ultimately protective older brother to a stunningly gorgeous but messy little sister who takes much bolder risks in life than he does, thereby creating an endless series of adventures in which he is reluctantly implicated, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot of money but it's interesting that he did that twice.

House of Leaves adaption where Johnny Truant is a reaction streamer watching a video essay made by Zampanó about The Navidson Record just pausing the video at random times to ramble wildly at his non-existent chat and doing shots on stream

easy to forget but book jon snow is great actually. he gets so drunk he cries in his first chapter. he's 16 years old and laser focused on loan negotiation. he keeps getting promoted against his will. he's the chosen fantasy protagonist with the worst genre awareness ever. he implements pro immigration social reforms. he has a giant albino pet wolf. he cuts a guy's head off. he thinks he invented cunnilingus. he's been dead for 15 years.

really losing my patience for any 'feminist' statement to the tune of 'we need feminism because women fill a fundamentally different and necessary role than men and will be better at doing x y or z'. like actually i think we need feminism because it is an unbearable death of the spirit by inches to exist in a world where you are not seen as a fully realized human being because of a single cultural determination, and because a world that enshrines such things creates systems that are fundamentally sick to the core
