inside a fantasy

I believe in adaptational risk but I have to be honest I'm not sure why we got to the point where every single day I see someone posting about how gabrielle wants lestat more than lestat wants gabrielle. And they're not even crazy for it. It's a cogent reading of the show. Incidentally it is of course literally the direct opposite of their conflict in the book

However I don't think it's a good read of either the show or the books to say Lestat doesn't want Gabrielle sexually/romantically at all and I think that impulse is just the classic move of trying to make him a better victim when in fact one of Lestat's recurring internal conflicts has always been that he loves and desires the people who hurt him and the show made a point of highlighting this in the Magnus/Bruce sequence. At a certain point you are sanitizing and oversimplifying.

the idea that every summer will be as hot if not hotter than this for the rest of my life is unbearable i need to (remembers suicide jokes are bad for my mental health) murder an oil executive

I want to see more polyamory pride this pride month i'm serious. Stop being weird about people with multiple partners polyamory is awesome and beautiful and queer

In general the labor which is required of non native english speakers under the English language hegemony constantly is just overlooked, taken for granted. Almost like the labor is invisiblized. Only if there was a term for it

Obviously you have to learn a whole different language and the social nuances of the language and be constantly judged for both. To be aware of the social context you also have to learn the politics of the language, becoming fluent in a whole foreign language isn't enough in itself. You can't have a racialized accent, that's not fluent now. Obviously you have to perform this labor. Its simply natural. Obviously you can't have anything accommodated for you. Go work for it yourself, do it for free, taken out of your limited time on earth, even pay for it!
