wait i just found out you can be nice to people and be their friend i thought we had to kill them all cause i was raised in a lab to be a living weapon

one time I went over to a friend's house and their housemate was making paper in the living room, and we saw this big tub full of water they were using to dissolve old scrap paper into a slurry, and everyone was immediately like "oh, you need scrap paper?" and started turning out their jacket pockets and producing expired coupons and bus tickets and crumpled receipts and old shopping lists and whatever else they'd been carrying round with them for no good reason, and passing it all to the paper-making housemate to make sure it was suitable before it got torn up and dropped into the tub, while people took turns stirring the slurry with a big wooden stick. it was strangely ritualistic, like presenting an offering to some kind of temple elder for inspection before placing it in a watery shrine to be devoured and reformed. pulp for the pulp god.

duuuuuude you have GOT to come out tonight we're enacting cruelty upon those who have transgressed so badly that we can justify any act against them... and you KNOW we're interpreting our delight as moral righteousness... Yeah it's fucking crazyyyyyyy get an Uber

it kills me how in ep 6 claudia keeps desperately bringing up madeleine and it seems like louis and lestat didn’t even think to consider her because like, that’s her louis, dynamic wise claudia so perfectly fits the role lestat had of finding someone, falling in love with them, and turning them after feeling sure that they’d take to it. imagine how insane it would be to EVEN CONSIDER separating loustat like that and yet they can’t conceptualize claudia experiencing that same pain because they never really saw her as her own person!! with her own life and love!!

really struck by how claudia grieving madeleine seems to be the thing that gets most to lestat during the seance. he only starts to cry when claudia tells them that she can’t find her companion, that’s she’s been alone this entire time. and of course this is what would get to him. the thing he fears the most is loneliness. so knowing that his daughter found a companion only to lose her again in death. it’s devastating

something I really enjoy is that I've now seen like 4 or 5 variations of roughly this same video, all slightly different in their angles and timing while obviously being the exact same bunny and room, implying that this is a consistent and frequent behavior for this bunny instead of just a funny thing it did once that got caught on camera. I wish I could have as much raw unfiltered enthusiasm for anything as this little rabbit has for its dinnertime

if it wasn’t for some kind of brain disease, we would all have forgotten this punchline. everyone say thank you some kind of brain disease

sorry but can you fucking imagine being mikey way and having a mental breakdown and leaving mid-album writing process so that you don’t die and then coming back after you’ve gotten some help and your brother & your band are like “hey we wrote a song for you while you were gone” and then they play you famous last words? like what do you even DO with yourself. i think i would just sit down right on the floor and sob tbh

a couple months ago you were sneaking into your big brother’s room in the middle of the night to sleep on the floor bc you were too terrified to sleep in your own room and now he’s singing that “i see you lying next to me” bridge at you (which is one of THEEEEE bridges of all time) like what are you supposed to DO. how did he not simply spontaneously combust. genuinely

fantasy is when there’s salve and sci fi is when there’s gel

fucking the text man for texts one of society's most influential works

i just don’t know if that many of us need to be on the roads driving. we should live in a world where more people can sit that one out
