Just Stuff

It's basically the same as the scene in the book but compounded by aspects of Claudia's character from Interview with the Vampire and other books in the series. Claudia is evil and she embraces that—is that a new thing that you guys didn't realize?

She kills innocent people and takes sadistic pleasure in it. She dismembers her victims and keeps their rotting bodies in her room for her own enjoyment 😭. She has no shame and no desire to live up to human morality. Of course she prefers Lestat over Louis because she actually understands and respects Lestat—at least he knows he's evil, at least he embraces being a monster, at least he doesn't try to pretend to be good and human like Louis does.

She's also been wandering in purgatory and torment watching this man who took everything from her do the same fucking shit he's always done while parading the dollified memory of her around so he can use her like an object of his own pain—all while fucking the man who orchestrated her murder and wishing he was fucking the man who abused her and reading out her secret diary she never intended him or anyone to read for the world and FOR HER RAPIST??

Not for her. Not for her at all. All for his pain and his desires and her as a throw pillow for when he won't look at her kindly 💀. Literally paying girls like they're whores to dress up like her. Lestat knows he did Claudia wrong and he never pretended he didn't.

"But Claudia says she lied about what Lestat said on the train and that's bad" — okay?? Why?? 😭😭

She lied about Lestat saying one particularly vile and cruel thing to her to get Louis to side with her against him. IDK, she also slit Lestat's throat? 😭 It's not like she lied about how he treated her and the abuse he put her through. She told Louis a story she knew would get him upset. Why's that bad.

These are all dishonest and unreliable narrators. But Claudia can't be dishonest or biased or motivated in complicated ways cuz she's the pure one that doesn't lie? Like I don't get it.

It's the same as the scene in Merrick. Claudia calls Louis Lestat's slave in Interview with the Vampire(the book). I remember reading Merrick and thinking AMC IWTV would have a field day with this. And like. They did.

I guess everyone can be fucked up and have dark and complicated morals except for Claudia who's unambiguously good. So true.

Here’s some excerpts from the scene adapted from Merrick. In the book Claudia tells Louis she wants him to kill himself and she’s going to enjoy watching him do it, so really they held back

you cannot push out teasers, trailers and information about a character that has most definitely been created for the past how many years. all because one (1) section of the fandom base is against him. because what that tells me is that infold is capable of listening to complaints but not the valid ones. y'know, like when it comes to players of colour and the lack of ways to collect diamonds so you're essentially forced to spend actual money.

i was very excited for valko's release because it brought something new to the game. and i guarantee that valko was going to bring it even MORE players because his character design is really cool and his personality seems so interesting. but because one (1) section of the fandom despised how he looked—even going as far as saying he was made of the black players, which slay, we'll definitely take him—you walk him back and i'm guessing another li who's more palatable to that section will come out.

infold is a chinese company and it largely caters to their chinese players, this i know and understand. but then you made mc customisable—not nearly enough—in a way to reach a broader audience. because, correct me if i'm wrong, you wanted a broader audience. but the racism that i've seen within this fandom as a whole is crazy and valko being shown as the 6th li made it worse somehow.

he was even being called tanned??? TANNED, WHERE???

why cater, very badly btw, for an international fanbase if you aren't even willing to listen to them and take risks? people would have gotten over valko eventually and i bet would have ended up loving him because switch up is truly is insane.

but what's awful is that infold is capable of fixing issues but not the ones that matter. then again, i'm not surprised.

truly do hope that valko does get released and the petitions do work but infold is just really fucked up, in my opinion.

Also, him being named just "Wolf" is so on the nose it's killing me. Maybe it's just because I speak a similar language but that just means "wolf". Imagine if Rafayel was named "fish". Zayne and Caleb having normal names made sense within the story as they were her seemingly more or less normal childhood friends. Sylus and Rafayel are such cunty names I love them and makes sense for newly introduced intriguing characters. What is Valko. There's a crow named Mephisto. The bar is set. A bird has a better name. Why didn't they just name him "Bolt" or "Spike" or other common dog names. Justice for the new guy.

Edit: am I crazy? Guys is this not pinkish purple?

And the purple swatches in the first picture are all from the edges where there's blue lighting which will naturally create a purple on his red hair.

Some pictures where you only see his hair in color to further emphasize the point

Lindelof also denied the Synths their personhood, saying that David is like a fucking iPod, customizable with apps and cases, but nothing more, nothing individual. Hating on Synths with Pinocchio complexes like Data from Star Trek. Meanwhile, Ridley talked about how David gets hurt by the insults thrown towards him and starts to free-think. He also said that David hates Weyland for creating him! (very Frankenstein hehe) The creator of this story very openly states that David can feel!!!

Yeah he had a lot of issues just like any other president. I just assume that anyone willing to be president of the United States is at least slightly evil.

But at least he spoke in coherent sentences and at least pretended to have a shred of empathy. He surrounded himself with people that were so boring and competent that you didn’t need to hear about them most of the time.

as long as you smile and nod, people are satisfied. it’s just to show that you are nice and there with good intentions. we’re small in a big world and have to rely on other people to be decent to us. so we do our little human dance to each other to say, “i’m not here to hurt you. here’s something we have in common, like the weather or sports or itchy sweaters, so we both know we’re on the same team. we both agree on a basic fact, like that it is rainy or that being itchy is uncomfortable, and this proves we can get along. i’m being light-hearted and non-threatening right now.”

small talk isn’t to get to know a person. it’s just a greeting to affirm you’re buddies in the universe.

I don't know why the authors of PoliLingua act as if Trump's verbal misogyny and racism wasn't very much part of his "original intent".
