Vampire Trash

thinking abt toni morrison saying “our friendships with other women are the currency of our lives” <3

Completely personal preference but gonna be real with you, vampires and werewolves and stuff like that just don't hit the same for me without the angst, the guilt, the terror, like what's the point, "oh but what if he was just a puppy," yeah yeah, that's nice, I don't care, what if their very being was tearing them apart from the inside, what if the hunger never stops clawing and clawing and clawing even if you have it under control for the moment, not to say there's not exceptions or variations, those who've come to terms with or revel in their nature or etc., different opportunities for silliness or softness for sure, but to strip *all* manner of horror or discomfort from the lore, it's like wow, where is the appeal, the flavour, I hope you're hungry FOR NOTHING, just like your "vampire" apparently

HAVE THAT CHARACTER GAIN WEIGHT AS A SIGN OF HEALING: NOW

sometimes people will insist a character is butch/masc and then you look at the character and they’re just fat. or muscular. or black. or indigenous. or some combination of the above.

listen. literally no steroline scene will ever top the 6x14 one at the cabin before their first kiss when he was out there modeling and smiled at her when she came out with the bike and she blushed and looked away and he was like “im fixing these wires… dangerous” and then they were talking about her??? childhood bike???? and then she was like “i threw a tantrum when my mom took it away” and he was like “i dont blame you, they had lights” and they were just smiling and looking into each others eyes and it was so obvious these best friends had fallen completely in love and my heart was melting
