I think it’s incredibly fucked how capitalism discourages learning for learning’s sake. People will have interests they’ve spent years researching then say it’s “useless knowledge” bc it didn’t go towards a college degree and isn’t part of their job. Learning is never useless! Your brain is growing and developing throughout your whole life! People would never have epiphanies or sudden lightening strikes of creativity if they weren’t learning new things! That goes double for topics like science, politics, and history, which inform your understanding of the world you live in!

the idea of woobiefying lestat (at least as he's written in the show) is just so boring to me. why would you want to erase what makes him such a fascinating character which is he endured horrible suffering and abuse and instead of breaking the cycle he chooses to be an absolute cunt and destroy every chance he has at happiness. why would you want to take all those things away just so he can be your uwu emo blorbo. that's not who he is, he's the cunt you married.

i think a lot of this stems from people's fear that if they relate to or empathize with a villain or an evil character, that they themselves are a bad person. you aren't! it's fiction! fiction is a place to explore dark themes and characters in a safe space. lestat is my favorite character in the show, but i am not under any pretense that he is a victim in his relationships with louis and claudia. the way he treats them is awful and horrifying. his suffering in this case is almost entirely his own making. he treated claudia horribly which caused her to leave, which then caused louis to withdraw from him. it was lestat who lunged at claudia and put his hand around her neck which made louis come at him, and lestat maimed and beat and nearly destroyed louis as a result. literally no one is to blame here but him. that's what makes him absolutely fascinating to me is him being like. the patron saint of self-sabotage.

Reblogging this once again because, once again, it made me laugh.

its so insane to me that a woman not wearing makeup is seen as unprofessional like how did people come to the conclusion that a womans natural face is unprofessional 

I don’t know how the stereotype became that women are the hysterical ones. Have you seen most people’s fathers when a slight inconvenience happens

Why did we ever stop wearing 18th century clothing
