nobody's unlovable and loneliness isn't new, this just what happens when the first generation of men and boys allowed to say "I desire kindness" emerge at at same time as women and girls allowed to say "I don't owe men anything".
And they're both right, they're both correct- Masculine figures are allowed to ask to be treated gently and Feminine figures are allowed to decide who they share intimacy with.
The PROBLEM is men thinking "I deserve gentleness" is the same as "someone owes me intimacy".
Men need to start GIVING what they ask for.
If men were kinder and gentler, if we raised our boys with emotional literacy and taught them compassion and self-care and generosity, personal responsibility and concern for others, they wouldn't see WOMEN as a united monolith marching out to deny them their "right"- they'd have support networks and friendships of their own to rely on, not just a mom or a wife to dump all their needs onto.
Men being lonely isn't new. They're just allowed to talk about it now. And, coincidentally, the socially-conditioned second-class-citizen support role is rapidly vanishing.
We've yet to stabilize: its that instability that has people chewing at the rope.
It's a rough transition, but that's all it is. A step to something better.
gotta pull a louis killing a man for choosing to dabble in fuckery in one night
just saw a comment on my yt studio (about one of the iwtv leads) that was so so ugly that now my blood pressure level is at the ceiling. deleting and reporting ugly and racist comments is not enough i need a gun
Louis de Pointe du Lac and Elena Gilbert should get together and host a podcast titled “How Being Too Pretty And Hot Got Me Turned Into A Vampire And Also Involved In A Love Triangle Between Two Ancient Vampires”
when I tell you I need a cunt off scene between lestat and armand in the battle for louis’ heart SO FUCKING BAD
iwtv s2 already a masterpiece: armand making out with all the boys, while he and lestat try to outcunt each other, louis and daniel competing to win the interview with the vampire, something that is both normal to want and possible to achieve, while louis’ psyche unravels more and more and daniel is fighting for his life as he chants to himself ‘i’m straight i’m straight’. but as always who suffers more than jesus? claudia.
