okay, english major!

unfortunate truth of reality is that oftentimes 15 year olds will say/do/believe some stupid bullshit because they are 15 but telling them that they believe that because they are 15 is probably the most counterproductive thing in the entire universe

i remember being 15 and wanting literally nothing more than to be taken seriously and listened to and every thought and feeling i had was dismissed because i was a hormonal teenager. i was well aware at that point that a lot of the things i felt were probably because i was a kid, but that didnt make any of it less real, and being dismissed because of my age 1. did not help 2. did not make me feel better 3. made me angry at and untrustworthy of adults because they refused to listen to me. teenagers are people. kids are people. one of the only major things separating them from adults are experience and wisdom. they have like. you know. interiority

like in YOUR mind you may think youre being helpful by going 'well you're a kid, its not really a big deal, youre okay, youll get over it' but that does not register as "helpful affirmation that everything will turn out fine and the only reason im upset is because of something out of my control so its better to just try and come to terms with it" it registers as 'adult dismissing my real tangible problems and sadness and anger because of my age and inadvertently calling me stupid'

Something about the bastardization of the story time and time again proves that nobody in power really cares about the people who would resonate with King’s Carrie White. A girl so ugly and repulsive she’s been removed from her own story. The societal need for women and girls to be constantly perceived as attractive is what fuels a fair amount of her torment in the book, but that person isn’t even allowed to exist on the screen. We cannot empathize with her; it isn’t allowed. It’s fascinating to me.

people saying louis should be on his own and go to therapy and get a healthier sense of self outside of relationships. well where's the fun in that

something that I think is cool about danlou is the fact that unlike the other vampires in Daniel's life Louis is not unfathomably old to Daniel in the sense that he has definitely interacted with people from Louis' generation in his youth and there's an universe where young Daniel could have interviewed Louis as an old human man. Lestat and Armand are museum artifacts whereas Louis is basically his grandpa and I think that's fun!

#Daniel *texts Louis a picture of grandpa Molloy wearing high waisted pants suspenders and a straw hat* imao I bet you think he was serving #Louis: but he was :(
