#fellas is it gay to lie down with the devil
Text
once again stewing over how fucking mean and vindictive the show made Louis to his own family as some sort of grizzly angsty "you have to separate yourself from everything you love because you're a MONSTER now" when in reality Louis literally said:
It was only now as a vampire that I did come to know my sister, forbidding her the plantation for the city life which she so needed in order to know her own time of life and her own beauty and come to marry, not brood for our lost brother or my going away or become a nursemaid for our mother. And I provided for them all they might need or want, finding even the most trivial request worth my immediate attention.
My sister laughed at the transformation in me when we would meet at night and I would take her from our flat out the narrow wooden streets to walk along the tree-lined levee in the moonlight, savoring the orange blossoms and the caressing warmth, talking for hours of her most secret thoughts and dreams, those little fantasies she dared tell no one and would even whisper to me when we sat in the dim-lit parlor entirely alone. And I would see her sweet and palpable before me, a shimmering, precious creature soon to grow old, soon to die, soon to lose these moments that in their intangibility promised to us, wrongly…wrongly, an immortality.
#LOUIS DE POINTE DU LAC LOVED HIS FAMILY YOU FUCKING NIMRODS#i know i'm screaming into the void at this point but sometimes the numbness melts away and i'm enraged again#because THIS RIGHT HERE is what the writers read and interpreted as 'oh he's spineless and weak'#this is what straight white cis men see as weakness#louis was SOFT he was KIND and yes he was at odds with his nature but that did not stop him from providing for his family#in fact the next paragraph he says that his detachment from the material mortal world was what allowed him to solely focus on family#fellas is it gay to lie down with the devil

reactions to the bnha: heroes rising film
spoilers alert !
(i risked coronavirus to go to the cinema for this but no regrets because we all want to die anyway oof-)
the film was very 1a centred & that’s gr8 and all especially since we got to witness the bond they had between them & just. how incredibly amazing their teamwork is
but i really ,,, miss,,, aizawa (my fave, my tru love)
he had a total of 3 (?) scenes, each of them lasting like less than 10 secs - even toshinori had more scenes than that : (
but you know who even had less screen time (aka none),,, our boy,,, the valid purple son,,,, shinsou hitoshi : (
the person who had the most screen time was this new villain called nine and i really wanna yell begone thot at him because he was like “i want to create a utopia where the powerful rules” and i was like thinking,, yo that shit sounds like capitalism & neoliberalism
his character design was really pretty, but it didn’t make up for his ideology that came outta nowhere with no backstory - so it was really hard to empathise/sympathise
what makes a villain good is 1) sufficient backstory 2) being so damn predictable and familiar that you actually prefer them over every other new villain because better the devil you know than the devil you don’t know
anyway, what really slaps is kacchan’s fuckin character development !!
lil gremlin is still gremlin but ,, he’s working with other kids,, he’s minimising damage done to the area while fighting villains,, there was a scene of him all calm and shit while eavesdropping on izuku and katsuma (which once again proves that most of his anger is just a front he puts up in front of other people rather than a perpetual state, and ya know what, i love that introvertedness that he has),,, him being protective over the bakusquad and not blasting kaminari for teasing him,,, he and izuku fighting together like a hero duo ,,,, eye-
this movie really said bakugo character development hUH
anyway in the beginning when endeavour showed up and dabi and endeavour had this whole showdown with their fire quirks and we got this close up of endeavour’s thicc thighs and i was like : ) we don’t stan for this here but at the same time i was like @ hawks damn ur daddy really be like that, huH
which reminds me of my whole spiel about dabi/hawks and endeavour/hawks : ‘ )
but yea. dabi was unfairly attractive and i just want death to consume me
okay so the plot was like,, the hero commission (aka the dodgy ass institution): how about sending the 1a kids to an island where there are no active heroes ??
so the 1a kids get yeeted off to an island,, and they are having fun helping the locals out !! (this is the wholesome content we all deserve)
jirou and yaomomo asdgjhskgjahkj
kacchan who stays at home the entire day because he’s on ~villain duty~ and there weren’t any villains so he just sits at home and read manga asdfghjkl that’s a hard Mood
kirishima looking like the cutie he is eye-
the bakusquad teasing kacchan by calling him “kacchan of bakugo”
how is maharo & katsuma so damn cute *angery fists*
but izuku really be adopting children left and right hUh
dadmight and dadzawa whomst i only know dadku
ochako & tsuyu are so cute wtf eye-
these villains are overpowered af wtf
wow i love 1a having each other’s backs their teamwork,, was ,,, so good,,, so smooth ,,, (*whispers* poly 1-a anyone ??)
everyone be losing until kacchan comes blasTing in, saving kirishima & kaminari with sheer determination and stubbornness and manages to defeat one (1) villain
not going to lie though i feel like mummy got done dirty like that
but i like the little nod to the provisional exam arc
the inflated izuku mahoro projected was the Cutest
anyway what really clapped was you know,, both izuku and kacchan being the smort cookies they are: “DIDN’T I TELL YOU THAT ONCE I’VE SEEN YOU USE IT, I HAVE A WAY OF COUNTERING IT?!"
like oof
also i love how izuku is established as the image of hope (the saviour) and kacchan is established as the image of victory (the victor) - this whole “win to save” and “save to win” really got laid down really heavily
but we’re all hoes for that i guess
touga in her winter gear !!! eye-
yaomomo delivering the Goods (i.e. the cannons)
a o y a m a : (
the moment i realised that tokoyami was in the cave, i knew the villain there was Done For
i haven’t forgotten our resident eldritch abomination, dark shadow, y’all
i just ?? love ?? mina ???? so much ??????
ngl i didn’t know chimera was literally a chimera until this part i just thought he one big furry
oof
that flashback to endeavour’s advice when shouto was fighting chimera ?? the symBoLisM wow
shouto being able to rationally separate endeavour the hero and endeavour the shitty dad & using the advice endeavour gave him to empower himself -
- wipes tears
sero and ochako getting blasted away really badly by nine,,, and izuocha happens but we’ve all seen that before
it is kacchan,, ,, being protective of sero when he got yeeted,,,,, that is the Point
THE BEST PART ABT THE SECOND LAST FIGHT WAS LITERALLY BKDK BEING SO IN SYNC WITH EACH OTHER’S MOVES THAT THEY WERE FIGHTING LIKE A HERO DUO ??
LIKE IZUKU KICKING THE VILLAIN, REBOUNDING OFF THE SHIELD,, AND THEN FLYING OFF JUST FOR KACCHAN TO GRAB IZUKU’S HAND AND FLING HIM BACK AT THE VILLAIN FOR A SECOND ATTACK
THE WHOLE HANDHOLDING THING IS STARTING TO COME OUT AS A MOTIF
AND I JUST WOW ,,, BKDK,, (platonic or romantic or otherwise) OUT HERE,, HOLDING HANDS AS EQUALS,,, SYMBOLIC OF THEIR CHANGING RELATIONSHIP,,,,
s h o u j i : ( protecting mahoro and katsuma with his body : ( big cuddle boy doesn’t deserve this pain !!!
don’t think i didn’t notice the film using the same bgm as the kamino rescue
it draws such a powerful parallel ?? back then it was kacchan who needed to be ‘saved' but now it’s kacchan doing the saving & the winning - once again, such character development asdfghjkl
this film,, making me appreciate kaminari 10x more
also fellas is it gay to stare at your rival and being able to communicate non-verbally
bkdk detroit smashing the storm together & making a damn fucking hole in the stratosphere like all might,, dispelling the damn storm and letting sunlight filter in ?? that was some really obvious symbolism but regardless,,,, wow
this is the part where the whole twin stars motif really came right in kicking our houses down
kacchan breaking both of his arms because of one for all & all i can think of is ,, izuku,, stop sharing your bone breaking juice with people
i’m just thinking about how people @ izuku: wtf how do you deal with this bone breaking bs all the time
and izuku, pure bean: oh yea haha i thought it was normal ?? like everyone has to get used to their quirks like this ??
a concept: quirkless izuku not understanding how quirks are supposed to feel
anyway, dadmight cradling izuku in his arms only to leave kacchan a metre away ?? favouritism that we’re all here for
izuku : ( apologising : ( for : ( being : ( a : ( bad : ( successor : (
i just want to shake izuku’s shoulders & tell him that he did super well and that he shouldn’t be ashamed of himself and that he deserves everything good in this world
also imagine being so gremlin that all the one for all predecessors were like "nope we’re not dealing with this gremlin child, we prefer the pure broccoli”
disappointed that hawks didn’t get enough screentime
but we got some hawks & tokoyami and ryuukyuu & ochako time
kacchan ~conveniently~ forgetting what happened ?? i smell something fishy
our local crusty boy shows up & ahh yes, there it is - the close up shot that like to remind us that he needs to Moisturise
everytime i see red shoes on shigs i just think about the parallels between shigs and izuku and my heart breaks all over again
the scene where shouto got hugged super uncomfortably by endeavour ?? oof. the entire cinema just simultaneously laughed and heard the shouuuuutooooo
katsuma being like like “i’m going to become a hero like deku & bakugo !” and kacchan’s acting all cool and shit, telling him “you better” while izuku is like “katsuma, you can become a hero !! we’ll wait for you at ua !!” because he saw himself in katsuma and wanted to be the person he wanted someone to be for him when he was young
breaking my own heart like this
imagine the first years in ten years though
they’re just going to be a bunch of teenagers izuku or 1-a saved or adopted
and they’re going to give aizawa so many more grey hairs than the current 1-a
#bnha#boku no hero academia#boku no hero academia: heroes rising#heroes rising spoilers#heroes rising#this got a little long#excuse my language i'm just very excited#it do be like that sometimes#mine#everytime i see 1-a i just think about found family#and we're all hoes for found family

love how the show was like “no we’re changing the race of the main character to do some deep social commentary instead of the bad dirty racist books!" and then hinges their entire marketing on undermining his narrative, discrediting his story, and making a different race-changed poc into a villain (but for different reasons than he was in the book lmao)
the "who can be trusted with louis' story?" and it's pictures of two white men and an Evil Muslim like. bitch are you actually kidding me.
#THE ENTIRE POINT OF THE ORIGINAL NOVEL WAS A VICTIM OF ABUSE FINDING HIS OWN AGENCY AND RECLAIMING HIS NARRATIVE#HINGING YOUR ENTIRE MARKETING CAMPAIGN ON ~UNRELIABLE NARRATION~ IS A REALLY BAD LOOK WHEN THE NARRATOR IN QUESTION#IS A BLACK MAN WHO IS ALREADY SYSTEMICALLY UNDERMINED AND STRIPPED OF AGENCY#AND ALSO GASLIT AND EMOTIONALLY/PHYSICALLY ABUSED IN ALL OF HIS INTERPERSONAL RELATIONSHIPS!!!#WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING!!!!!!!!!!#IT'S GIVING 'DISCREDIT THE VICTIM' VIBES#PLEASE I KNOW NO ONE HAS A FUNCTIONING BRAIN CELL ON THE WRITING STAFF BUT LIKE. MY GOD.#sorry sorry i'll shut up now. sometimes i just randomly see a piece of marketing for s2 and it sends me into a blind rage#fellas is it gay to lie down with the devil

i know it's been said so many times already but knowing how much amc iwtv amps up the violence for the shock factor just makes me want to throw up LOL like it's just not a great look for them to be like "oh we changed the race of these characters to make it more meaningful" but then in s1 lestat beat the shit out of louis and now in s2 we are most likely going to witness a fucking mob of all white vampires lynch a teenage black girl. like. BRUH. i'm fucking begging these writers to think with their brains for like 1 fucking second about why that's maybe not a cool or edgy idea.
#i know there's like. one token asian vampire in the coven so i mean fucking. diversity win i guess.#sorry idk why i suddenly got big mad thinking about this shit#i genuinely don't think i can stomach s2 like at all lmfao#fellas is it gay to lie down with the devil

I've noticed that several Loum4nd fans (fans of the show obviously) hate Daniel and Armand/Daniel which is CRAZY to me.
Baby Daniel they don't deserve you....
anon I hope you know how much I'm losing my absolute MIND over you censoring the word "loumand" LMFAO
But yeah I know what you mean, like obviously folks are totally entitled to their opinions, but it's definitely weird to think of how fundamentally different the experience is for show fans vs. book fans. I feel like as a book fan, having your brain rewired by the Devil's Minion chapter is a rite of passage LOL but show fans inherently see that era in the Past Tense because the Daniel they know is a Daniel who...grew old (which defeats the entire tragedy and purpose of his character BUT I DIGRESS)
I guess the main thing I'm confused about too is how anyone can really ship Armand with anyone in the show at this point because like.........I don't know who that man is??? even if he didn't spend the entirety of s1 pretending to be some bitchy servant, it's really wild to see people speculate on his character and then build off of fanon that's essentially just made up of nowhere??? AMC fans are wildin' out, I really have no idea what's going on over there

ah yes I love vampires and am therefore totally acclimated to seeing black bodies being brutalized tortured and raped on screen :)
listen i don’t wanna add to the disk horse but i think some of y’all need to remember that the creative team made the DELIBERATE DECISION to cast black actors and re-write this narrative to encompass them.
this is bigger than “oh, this scene never happened in the books, lestat wasn’t this cruel, there’s no way fans could have expected it!” like yes, that is absolutely true, BUT!!!!!!!
we spent the whole show being reminded of the brutality of slavery. Lestat waxes poetic about Jackson square while Louis reminds him that they used to display slaves’ heads on pikes. lestat uses society’s racism to exploit, humiliate, and debase louis when they go out in public together.
and like. there are hours and hours of interviews and press junkets with the cast and creative team talking about how important it is to change the narrative in order to avoid the depiction of slavery.
and yet.......we still have this INCREDIBLY GRAPHIC depiction of a white man beating and lynching a black man.
so like. what was the point of any of this??
at this point in the story we’ve already established that this relationship is abusive. how does this incredibly long and graphic scene serve the narrative? at what point is it just racist torture porn under the guise of artsy horror cinematography?
#don't want to add to the drama so i'm moving to my own post#OOF#idk. i'd be really interested to hear from black fans how they feel about this shit#i am sick to my fucking stomach over it like forreal#fellas is it gay to lie down with the devil#<- amc iwtv tag

louis, every time he mentions armand in iwtv: armand has the prettiest soft brown eyes. deep, rich, autumnal brown
whoever is in charge of the amc circus: oh you mean BRIGHT ASS ORANGE? you mean the color of high-vis crossing guard vests? you mean let’s give this motherfucker cheeto eyes?
