Yeah...

I feel like this message starting with "but" means you're waiting for me to spill some secret beans that I don't like it 😭

Do I wish they would have more screentime? Of course. But this was always going to be the Lestat season, they're trying to do so many things in each episode, and what we've been served is such quality.

Firstly, I feel like we moved on from the rapture bond thing way too quickly. That shit is romantic as hell. We got a love declaration, we got a PRIVATE JET TURNING, we got a wall slam full of sexual tension, we got Daniel following Armand out of the concert because he looked upset, we got past-DM confirmed (and YES, I'm still calling it as confirmed because I still believe it was mutual and that is yet to be revealed). We've got fucking DAYWALKER DANIEL?? The idea that they, after all this time hiding in shadows, will be able to WALK IN THE LIGHT TOGETHER???? UM HELLO!?!?!

HELLO?!?!?!

Listen, I'm always going to want more and more of them because I'm greedy, but fuck we've made a lot of progress with DM already and there are still two episodes to go! Plus, if we want to get a DM centric Night Island spinoff (inshallah) then certain things will need to be held back in the main show (I'm still manifesting and telling myself this lol)

When you're trying to focus but your crush has lips you would like to taste...

No, you're absolutely right. I keep saying, the DM may not be super high quantity but damn is it quality (imo).

Evening 🖤

Look, it's still Wednesday in my timezone, just roll with it. I'm still attempting to chug along with this chapter very slowly. I'm not in the groove yet, but we're getting there, maybe. I know what the next scene after this one is. For now, here is another preview for the next chapter of Death Is a Delightful Hiding Place and the aftermath of well-meaning neighbors.

It seemed that Jasper did find their well-meaning neighbors amusing. Guy was making his dinner when he heard Jasper walk out of the bedroom, and suddenly, there was a vampire pressed against his back in a way that was impossible to ignore.

"Did you make new friends on the playground today?" Jasper asked.

"You're hilarious," Guy replied as he tried to continue cooking even though Jasper did not let him go.

"You're the topic of conversation upstairs, and they seem to like you, but they have some interesting ideas about me," Jasper replied. Guy decided it was probably best to just let Jasper see exactly what happened instead of trying to piece all of it together through Raina's thoughts and whatever information the other roommates might have gleaned. He relaxed his mental shields and let Jasper see the interaction. For the sake of their neighbor's sanity, it seemed like the best way to approach the situation. "I'm insulted you think I would do anything to a bunch of well-meaning college students."
