"The original literary vampires represented carnal knowledge. At their foundation, whether we're looking at Stoker, Polidori, Carmilla, vampires represent a defiance of societal gender and sexual norms. They represent a rejection of conformity, of the default, and specifically of heteronormative and prudish structures." -V.E. Schwab

Woke: vampires are vulnerable to sincere faith of all kinds, and atheist vampire-hunters need to believe very strongly in the Power of Friendship or their love of Star Trek to get by.

Think about it. In real life, the person that's bottling up all their emotions is not the one that's brooding in the corner and snaps at you for trying to befriend them. More often than not, it's that friendly person in your circle who makes easy conversation with you, laughs with you, and listens and gives advice whenever you're upset. But you never see them upset, in fact they seem to have endless patience for you and everything around them—and so you call them their friend, you trust them. And only after months of telling them all your secrets do you realize…

In season 2, he wants to get out of Dubai alive, AND he wants his book.

In this episode (3: Toronto), he wants Lestat's trauma-story, AND he wants it on tape, AND he wants his documentary to go to Cannes.

WHY?

Daniel's identity is linked to his capability as a journalist/storyteller. What's his trauma? Probably being kidnapped/held/tortured for a week in 1973 San Francisco by some vampires (hey, sound like Claudia's story with Bruce? does this sound like Lestat's story with Magnus?)

What gets Daniel out alive in 1973 is his belief in being a "bright young reporter with a point of view." IT SAVES HIS LIFE.

So now, every time Daniel's hurt/in pain, what does he do? He leans harder into being a reporter.

Like a vampire, he extracts other people's stories, other people's pain.

and as Lestat rightly points out: Daniel is NOT dealing with HIS OWN "transformational trauma." Instead Danny's trying to force Lestat into revealing Magnus' assault.

So, babygirl has a stone in her ureter and high cholesterol. Her blood test was normal, but we need to change her food and get her compounded medication. Here are the prescriptions; if anyone can help us, the k0fi and the p4ypal is the same. I think we'll need all the help we can get.

and these are the prescriptions so unfortunately they do not have a price in them because i have to 1) go to the drug store for one 2) go to a manipulated medicine drug store for another 3) buy new dry food for the colestherol 4) reeschedule the exams after 15 days of medication

but i always ALWAYS post pictures of everything i get as proof, who's been following me for months knows. if you guys want me to post the receipts as i get the stuff that's 100% ok too!

Robin interrupts you to tell you that HE can give you a ride on the back of his Robin-cycle. He claims it’s faster and looks much cooler than the Batmobile. You just want to go home, man.

“A ride home? In the Batmobile? Bruce used to give me rides in the Batmobile, you know…sometimes, I can still hear his voice….I’m not sure my own voice can measure up, but I have to try…it has to be ME. No one else…I owe it to him…”
