If you liked cocaine bear can I suggest you watch veloci-pastor.

It's on the list

If anyone here is looking for other shitty park ranger themed horror, me and the gang just watched "Orcs" (2011) and it felt like a documentary

Wanted to doodle with some gray colors. Like make em’ feel dark- and I did this when I made the background grey since I thought it’d fit 🤷‍♀️

Peppino’s that are frustrated, I think the palette works well :] Also really like the white tank and hat how I turned them a nice grayish brownish cream color(?) I think it looks nice

every day that goes by i relate more and more to that post that's like "is the video essay analysis or is it summary → it's a good essay sir → open the video → it's summary"

has no one made an edited version of tsb thats like. just the sparks parts lol

⭐️ lestats work party, specifically armand and louis' conversation and armands thirstiness

this is gonna be stupid long im so sorry i just love this scene

Lestat suspects, as he does with most things, that it is a conspiracy by Armand to steal Louis from him. / “That don’t even make sense, Lestat,” Louis tells him on the drive to the museum. “How would that help him take me from you?” / “The holidays are an emotional time,” Lestat defends. He tightens his right hand on Louis’ thigh. “He must plan to seduce you during a vulnerable moment and destroy our family and every battle scar we stitched together in our marriage.” -- armand is literally trying to do exactly this

“You appear stunningly effervescent this evening.” / Louis giggles - you have to read effervescent in the voice od edward cullen bella this snail is... effervescent. and i use giggling very sparingly so i think i hoped it would make it more distinct that louis is kinda giggling twirling his hair blushing etc etc. he doesn't even think armand is serious about flirting with him which is what makes this even more funny to me like louis really thinks armand is just like that or doing a bit. and both those are also true but he’s mostly trying to cuck lestat and steal his baby mama

“It is hardly flattery. A curator must recognize inimitable art when he sees it.” Armand looks Louis up and down, not a gram of subtlety in his gaze or the way he licks his lips when his eyes catch on Louis’ waist. Lestat despises him, but he cannot fault him. Louis is a sight today. -- its so fun writing louis as ydkybtwmyb i'm sorry.... the main goal in writing lestat's pov was to write about louis w the level of horny down bad panting cartoon heart eyes jaw drop edward talked about bella when she wore an ankle length skirt energy. and since lestat is familiar w armands game he can see this

“Yes, a one of a kind beauty that few have the chance to truly see,” Lestat says, laying his accent on thick because he knows Armand hates it. Louis thinks it’s cute when he can’t say words like own or omelet without adding h’ in front—h’one, h’omelet. -- i think i was talking to my sister while writing this or right before and since french creole is her first language and she learned english mostly around the same age as lestat in this fic (17/18), her sort of inconsistency w h sound in front of o came to mind dfkjbvdf SUPER specific but yes.

"Armand wraps an arm around Louis’ shoulders as they walk. He says, “As I scrolled through Tik Tok yesterday morning while making my post-run chicken breast smoothie—yes, yes, I awake around 4:15am every morning so that I might run and rise into the new day with the sun, heavenly companion that she is—but on Tik Tok, you see, I watched a succinct review of a movie called Mississippi Masala, have you heard of it?”" -- i kinda think this is the greatest combination of words of all time idk like... i became obsessed w armand while writing this scene cause i had to get in his head and rly think about him to translate him to this au too and you couldnt pay me money to stop thinking armand is an avid tiktok user. armand is a 43 year old man with a letterboxd account a candy crush addiction and those games where you simulate cars getting into accidents in incredibly graphic and uncomfortable ways. and he’s just a little boy. mississippi masala i know bc we watched it in my south asian/american literature class in undergrad and that was one of my favorite classes so i rmr a lot from it :)

“I understood you entirely,” Armand soothes. “And I naturally agree. Did you enjoy your winter wassail with cinnamon whiskey? Would you like to try the hot buttered rum? You will be pleased to know we used sustainably-sourced five-star Haitian Barbancourt for the recipe.” -- this was me trying to manipulate ppl into googling trader joe winter wassail punch and then buying it and discovering that its the best drink of all time. and it goes really well with cinnamon whiskey fr. ALSO haitian barbancourt rum is one of the very few relatively ethical caribbean rum it wasnt established until after haiti got independence and even tho there was still plenty of complications it is not slave rum. and since nola is little haiti and i assigned louis partially haitian at birth and he's really conscious of history and the history of slavery and the francophone world in particular i figured he would have an opinion on this

"When he consumed as much leftist social commentary on the Black experience in modern America as he could during the year of separation so that he might better unlearn his white liberal colorblindness, he found exceptional delight in an animated syndication called “The Boondocks,” and the mischievous comments and actions of the younger child hold a special place in his heart. He is reminded of one of the sayings now, a cutting witticism that gave Lestat chills the first time he heard it: game recognize game, and you looking real unfamiliar right now. Except, of course, as a recovering sociopath himself, Armand appears plenty familiar to Lestat." -- wait THIS is the greatest combination of words in the english language. the boondocks is the best show of all time BTW and i was watching it as an adult while writing this and i couldnt stop talking about it w everyone i was in discussino section at 10 talking to my students like Have you guys heard of the boondocks ? KALBSCHJVUYFIBDJSKANM and AND AND most importantly lestat would take it incredibly seriously and he would love riley and think that riley's voice matters he would be very easily convinced by hoteps is what im saying. and ykw good for them! if they deserve to scam money from anyone its lestat

"“That’s so true,” Louis nods again. Why is he always nodding with Armand? Lestat has never heard Armand say anything worth nodding about, unless he stood up to proclaim himself a stupid idiot bitch fucker. Okay, not bitch. Lestat is a girl dad. He doesn’t use this type of derogatory language towards women, even if the bitch in question is a man. Not that he needs to own a girl or woman to care about them. Of course, he does not own his daughter, she is her own independent complex self. Well, not independent, Lestat would hate to age up a black child—okay." - i imagine writing this scene is how beethoven felt when he was writing the sonata or whatever bc why am i reading over this like where is my nobel prize in literature. lestat is literally a #BlackGirlDad though. lestat and serena's husband exchange notes AWWWWWWWWWW except he's slightly more normal than lestat but creating reddit released its own share of horrors into the world so idk. but he’s literally a girl dad

"“Les and I talk about that all the time,” Louis continues. Armand chuckles at the mention of Lestat, like there’s some sort of inside joke between him and Lestat’s husband. “Like, when’s the last time you saw two black people in a relationship in a Netflix show? Never mind the prioritizing of lightskins over everything else. That’s a problem in Bollywood too, isn’t it?”" -- i've been accused before of writing poc dialogue unrealistically BUT IDK LIKE IF U DONT TALK LIKE THIS NATURALLY W YOUR FRIENDS THATS YOUR ISSUE NOT MINE LIKE.....??????? WHAT DO U WANT ME TO SAY....? also reformation lestat is literally conscious of his privileges as a white male on occupied chitimacha land that his black wife's ancestors were forced to till and the fraught positionality of his biracial daughter like what do u want me to say... and most importantly louis is god's most special lightskin after beyonce so he too is conscious of his positionality <3 most most importantly this is all a bit

"“It is as the Angolan revolutionaries said in the battle against western imperial aggression.” Oh, here he fucking goes, Lestat thinks, scowl deepening even further. Armand grew up in Cambridge with parents who immigrated to work guaranteed tenure at Harvard because they changed their fields forever; at least Lestat actually understood what it meant to go without food as a child. Armand raises the celery stick to the air like some red army soldier. “La luta a continua para sempre.”" i think poor white trash w theoretical access to social mobility in contrast to bourgeois man of color chafing against second class status despite their material privileges is soooo interesting. also be honest. doesnt armand as a second gen rice and mango kid make so much sense

when jane dies, the government recovers her body without anyone’s knowledge in order to study it and do their own experiments. she had a funeral, was lowered into the ground, but no one knew she wasn’t in the coffin. her body was removed in the morgue and replaced with a fake, just like will’s. pieces of her are sent out to various facilities, her organs, eyes, brain, etc are separated for research purposes. overtime, pieces of her get lost in transfers, small fragments like a tooth or strands of hair, but all still janessa ives. even in death she can’t be left alone. after about six months, sam owens discovers the truth of what happened to her body, and always a big advocator for jane to live a normal life, does his best to track down what remains of her body. in the process, he, and his people succeed in shutting down some of the facilities that illegally claimed possession of her. within a few months he salvages as much of her as he can; it’s not everything, but it’s majority of what’s left. he does tell those who were closest to jane, so they can have a proper burial. she’s instead buried in a mausoleum, both out of respect for what she did in her life, and a further layer of protection for her in the afterlife.

did you know that the dad in the clangers technically had two wives because at a 1960s exhibition someone nicked the puppet of the mum clanger so they had to get a new one

the more and more i look at wolves the more itchy i get. i want to be a wolf. i want to draw a wolf. would yall still love me if i was a catwolfboy. a wolfcatboy. an ex wolf girl cat boy. i fucking love wolves

Blech. Remember season one of DTS? My mom and I are rewatching, I know it’s not always accurate haha, but omg, how anyone liked/followed/dated Max even when he was young is just a mystery 🤮

yep :/, but to be fair to people who liked him or were kinda indifferent (mildy annoyed at his so called racing skills like me) he wasn't showing how awful he was back then, i think the more he was put under the spot light the more you could see how bad his behaviour on and off track was/is

i only watched till season 3, that didn't even cover Lewis' 7th title, like bruh the fuck?

season one was the most acceptable one? i thought it was a good entry level for people who didn't know how f1 works at all and gave you a glimpse on not really outthere drivers (bar daniel) but already rewatching the episode about ferrari in season 2 without the knowledgle of the actual season the narrative is ew ew ew and more ew; it just feed on fake drama and leaves out so many parts it's so distorted from reality

do people even realize that every costume in the original lord of the rings was handmade

okay i just watched ‘to catch a killer’ and not that anyone asked but holy shit why was it so good LIKE

well. Women Talking won best adapted screenplay, I can say that for this year's oscars.

the way people on the internet are already saying they expect him to talk about the crazy larries in his life, that says a lot of the shit it's going to be, it's just the silencing of his biggest fandom it's so crazy I'm like??? it's horrible to think that we only serve when we give him money.

I'm really scared for him if he bring us up or says something about us without saying our name. I won't forgive him bc no matter what's the truth there's no reason for us to have been treated the way we've been for nearly a decade now. The bullying, the harassment, the death threats.... if he decides to give these people even more ammunition it won't go well. The people who hate us are not his fans they are harries or gp who think he's an homophobic asshole who has only larries as fans bc he can't sing.

Also the way the description is written is full on larrie clickbait. So what are his other fans supposed to think? larries ruined his life but he's encouraging them and their theories to keep getting their money... shouldn't he be adult and actually defend his child instead of giving larries material (fuck the money bc he has enough).

That's one of the reasons he lost so many fans. Bc people believed he was a dad and that larries ruin his life but that he decided to keep them around to have a career instead of being a good dad.

Who will be left to stan him if he gets rid of us? the solo louies? I don't think there's enough of them yet to fill in venues...

Forever thinking about that one scene in Waitress where Dawn says "you almost made me pretty" after her pre-date makeover 🥺💔 brb sobbing

(I have no idea if this will make sense—sorry I’ve had some wine this evening and so I’m rambling)

I think this is a “popular” opinion but not widespread—people need to understand that there is so much nuance to reading. Obviously there’s the “you can like things I don’t like” and vice versa, but also in HOW people enjoy things. Like take Fourth Wing (I know I know), but while I also agree with a lot of the complaints, I still was just like “that was a fun time, I totally ignored all the sex scenes bc I hate how they were written, but I was vibing the whole time.” And I feel like some people would still respond to my opinion like “okay but it was so horrible how did you even enjoy it at all??? Lame”

Like okay Betty, I love high fantasy as much as you, but sometimes I want something that just fucks, okay?

(and not to say you aren’t allowed to not like things, but there seems to be a fine line between “hey! I didn’t like this but that’s okay” and “I hated this and I CANNOT comprehend why ANYONE could find even an inkling of fun from this + I’m going to subtly implicate that I think people who like this are stupid”) (obviously not for books that are objectively hurtful or offensive)

And of course you can go so many different ways than just that example, but it’s a mix of gate-keeping, prejudice, lack of empathy, and a bit of a superiority complex that makes it so hard for the reading community to really be united.

the funtimes feel to be inspired by rolfe dewolfe. you know of a rock-afire explosion fame. with foxy having the personality and freddy having the puppet and uhhh yeah. thats my fnaf observation of the day
