by cloud and mist abated

I have much more complex thoughts I’ll save for a later post but if ANYONE should have been decapitated and experimented on for perceived wrongs towards Armand BY Armand it should have been Lestat. Lestat who destroyed his coven, Lestat who spurned even the slightest bit of affection or connection with him, Lestat who broke coven rules over and over again in Paris, Lestat who Armand says in the series is putting them all in grave danger. You’re a fucking racist idiot, Rolin. Lestat is who should have been on that table, if it was ~ required ~ by the story that someone be treated that way. Lestat!

True story: I’ve started The Terror twice and then pussied out just as they give up the ships for good and go overland but this time! This time I will try to watch the whole way through. And cry probably, but that’s a given.

Agnieszka Holland really went and found a man with the saddest, longest face with dark eyes you can drown in for Mary Lennox's uncle, knowing full well that most people imagined some ugly inbred twat when they read the book. No, no, what we need here is a man so beautiful that it makes you want to claw your face off. Magnificent.

If Armando Iannucci and Jesse Armstrong ever got together to make a satiric TV show the combined power of their writing and the sheer amount of cussing necessary would likely destroy most western governments after the first episode. Which is exactly why they should.
