I am loudly pushing the batdad agenda i am loudly pushing the— DPxDC Prompt

“Woah. You look like shit."

Granted, that’s probably not the first thing Danny should be saying to the guy that just bit the curb, but in his defense; he’s not running on 100% right now either.

The man -- tall, towering, and broader than Danny is tall -- whips around on his heel, black frayed cape flaring out impressively. Danny would've whistled in appreciation, but he takes the time instead to wipe the back of his hand across his mouth, smearing the blood running from his nose across his cheek.

"Sorry." He blinks widely, not even flinching as the man with the horns zeroes in on him. "That was rude of me. I have a really bad brain-to-mouth filter; Sam says its what always gets me into trouble."

And she's not wrong either, per say. His smart mouth is what landed him in this situation -- with blood blossom extract running through his veins and cannibalizing the ectoplasm in his bloodstream. Thanks Vlad.

The man grunts at him; a short, curt "hm" that shouldn't make Danny smile, but he does because he's somewhat delirious and probably concussed. The man keeps some kind of distance, sinking towards the shadows of Gotham's alleyway like he dares to melt right into it.

If it's supposed to scare Danny, it doesn't work. Danny's never been afraid of the dark; he's always been able to hide himself in it. He blinks slowly at the mass of shadows.

"You look hurt." The shadows says, blurring together around the edges. Danny squints, and licks his lips to get the blood dripping down his chin off. Ugh, he hates the taste of blood.

"I am." He says, "My godfather poisoned me. M'dying." The agony of the blood blossom eating him from the inside out looped back around to numbing a while ago, so all he feels is half-awake and dazed.

"Hey," Danny stumbles forward towards the man, a bloodied hand reaching out to him. "You-- you're a hero, right? You're not attacking me; which is more than I can say for most costumed people I've met." Maybe it's a poor bar to judge someone at, but he's already established that Danny's not in his right mind.

The man makes no change in expression, but Danny realizes blearily that it's hard to tell with the shadows on his face. He stays still long enough for Danny to latch onto the cape -- stretchy, but almost soft under his fingers.

He looks up blearily into the whites of the man's eyes. "Can you help me? I don't-- I don't wanna die." Again. He doesn't wanna die again. He blinks slow and lizard-like. "I mean- I'll probably get to see mom and dad again, but I told them I'd at least try and make it to adulthood."

There's a clatter down the street, and Danny's ghost sense chills up his spine and leaves a bitter, ashy taste in his mouth. He immediately knows who it belongs to even before the deceptively gentle; "Daniel?" echoes down the way.

"Daniel? Quit your games, badger, Gotham is dangerous for children."

Danny's mouth pulls back, and blood spills against his tongue. "Please." He rasps, and grabs onto the shadow's cape with both hands. "Please. He's going to kill me. Please--"

"Daniel? Is that you?"

His lips part, dragging in air to plead with the darkness again. He doesn't need to, the whites of his eyes narrow, and the cape whirls around him before Danny can blink. Soon swaddled in shadows, the Night lifts him up, and steals him away.

Katsuki Yuuri did not utterly beef it at the Grand Prix because his dog died and then get black-out drunk at the afterparty and dry hump his childhood celebrity crush who immediately fell in love with him and chased him back to Japan because a YouTube video went viral for y’all to try to say he’s not blorbo material.

#look into your heart and see the truth #yuri on ice #katsuki yuuri #he learned to skate sexy by comparing himself to a pork cutlet bowl #he just casually decided to attempt a really difficult jump because victor pissed him off #he goes too long without hugs and goes on a hugging rampage #he wanted to buy a souvenir and ended up buying engagement rings #nobody did it like yuuri

When I Faked Amnesia to Break off My Engagement, My Fiancé Casually Told Me a Ridiculous Lie - "You Were in Love With Me Before You Lost Your Memory" - By Kotoko (8/10)

Conniving, quiet yanderes are a rare breed. This is a gentle story about a pair of liars. Both of them are shy and bad at expressing themselves. After a terrible accident both of them take drastic measures. Our heroine wants to run away, but her fiance foils her plan at every turn.

Viola is a beautiful, rich and sweet girl with one problem. Her fiance. He is cold, quiet, and busy. He is also too popular. She wants a man who will be affectionate with her.

She thinks being with him will ruin her life. She cannot handle all of the envy, or the responsibilities that come with being a Duchess.

Philip is the ideal husband on the outside, but Viole experiences alot of bullying. She doesn't go to balls anymore, because every other lady is that envious.

She wants a social life. She's not very competitive either.

Philip just isn't a good fit for her.

After an accident she decides to play dumb. Philip needs a bride that can do Duchess work. If she pretends to forget everything he learned surely he will annul their engagement.

Right?????

She pretends to be flirty and desperate to stay by his side...to disgust him. Philip is altogether mean to his female fans. Which is another reason why Viola is wary of him.

Philip is distressed when he realizes his fiance is basically dead. Viola tricked the doctor. Everybody thinks she will never remember the past.

Philip drops a bomb. He claims she has always been madly in love with him, and he says she can continue to act the same way.

This is a total lie, and it's really messed up for him to take advantage of a woman with no memories.

He goes hard. He literally says he wants her to be clingy and possessive. He wants her to rely on him. He wants her to scorn other men....he thinks she doesn't need friends too. She just needs to be his bride.

Red. Flag.

He also says he would die for her, and he cannot wait to have an affectionate marriage with her. Philip was always too nervous to act on his true feelings. Thanks to the fake amnesia he can have the fantasy life he has always wanted with his first love.

Viole said she hated him when they were children, and he still didn't break the engagement. She was always unhappy trapped under the Duchess title.

Now she doesn't remember that, and he wants a sweet liar life with her.

The problem is Viola is playing dumb, so Philips overflowing affection is a little scary.

What frustrates me most with the Watcher response is that it completely misses the point that people were also trying to say that we don’t watch Watcher because of fancy effects. We watch it because we like Shane and Ryan’s personalities. This is a lukewarm apology, fair enough and good enough, but it’s so frustrating that they missed the point.

#will I be cancelled for saying I’ll remain a casual fan? #I am really frustrated with the concept of what they did and I am glad they acknowledged how insanely ignorant it was to imply everyone #could afford it #but it still felt so out of touch and scripted #I do think this was more of a fuck up than revealing a personal flaw and that’s why I do want to continue being a casual fan #as in only engaging in free content #but just the concept alone is so frustrating #rae’s rambles #watcher #the watcher

“Louis de Pointe du Lac. That's an interesting name.” “Louis of Pointe du Lac Plantation. My great-great-grandfather owned one. All that remains is the name.”

“And a sizable trust to oversee as a consequence. Capital accrued from plantations of sugar and the blood of men who looked like my great-grandfather but did not have his standing.”

When introducing himself to Daniel both in 1973 and in 2022, Louis alludes to the ways that the legacy of chattel slavery in the United States remains present through his life. The ramifications of this history will be explored further in his interviews; it is intrinsic to the racism that Louis describes experiencing, and it is built into the economic and cultural foundations of the societies that Louis has and continues to navigate through. The way that this subject is broached however, in both the past and present, specifically centres the relationship between slave plantations and Louis’ own affluence.

Daniel’s remark being prefaced by Louis offering to “Get the boy whatever he wants”, before carelessly pushing a platinum credit card between them, implicitly correlates Louis’ response with that ostentatious display of wealth. It is not an intentional association made by the characters, and Louis immediately downplays the link when he recognises it (“All that remains is the name.”). Given his reaction, it seems likely that Louis did not talk about this topic during his subsequent interview with Daniel, though, again, that does not mean it would have had no bearing on other matters discussed. By contrast in the present day, Louis broaches the subject himself and fairly openly acknowledges the correlation. It was a slave plantation and the exploitation of enslaved people that created the sizeable trust that paid for the house and lifestyle that Louis and his family enjoyed. While Louis does not state it directly, the unavoidable implication of Louis clarifying that his great-grandfather was black and had a different social status to that of slaves (“[…] the blood of men who looked like my great-grandfather but did not have his standing.”) is that several generations of Louis’ black relatives have, at least indirectly, financially profited from chattel slavery. It is unlikely that this wealth was all inherited after the fact, considering that the abolition of slavery in the United States occurred only a couple of decades before Louis was born. These pieces of information seem to contradict then the implicit suggestion of Louis’ earlier explanation in 1973, that the only direct bearing the de Pointe du Lac plantation has had on his life is a shared name.

Both the dismissal and the acknowledgement are characteristic of how Louis describes the past; factual as a basic statement but carrying additional implications whose accuracy is more questionable and or left carefully unexamined. This is a rhetorical device that aids Louis in maintaining control of the narrative and its meanings while avoiding, as much as he can, outright lies. While Louis does view Daniel as a necessity for him to revisit his story, it needs to be stated that this does not prevent Louis from consciously and unconsciously tailoring it for his audience. It is possible that Louis only acknowledges the subject at all in the second interview because he is aware that Daniel has likely done some background research on his family. Considering how insensitive to racial issues Daniel can be, as well as his deliberately combative and contrarian approach to interviewing, it may be that this is a subject that Louis does not want to explore with Daniel specifically; it is perhaps notable that the penthouse Louis shares with Armand contains at least two pieces of art (Slave Auction by Jean-Michel Basquiat, and Transformation by Ron Bechet) which are about chattel slavery. Regardless of the reason for Louis’ selectivity, this context continues to hover on the periphery of Louis’ story, adding additional layers of meaning to the events that follow.

It contextualises the contradictory feelings Louis has about his work as a landlord and pimp, roles that may step outside of the shadow of sugarcane and slavery but are only made possible through investing the profits of them. When Louis confesses to the ways he treats his workers, tellingly he invokes plantation imagery with “[…] I lie to myself, saying I'm giving them a roof and food and dollar bills in they pocket, but I look in the mirror, I know what I am; the big man in the big house, stuffing cotton in my ears so I can't hear their cries.”. This conflict then deepens the resentment Louis has towards his family for criticising how he provides for them, with Paul being the only member who even entertains the idea that they should not spend the money at all (“We should tithe that o'er to St. Augustine's 'fore this house falls in on us.”). Whereas the family judges Louis for connecting them to an industry they view as sinful and lacking respectability, contrasting it to the seemingly fondly remembered family plantation (“Daddy was here, we'd still be in sugar cane.”), Louis is troubled by the exploitative nature of that work and capitalism as a whole. Yet there are also times when Louis exhibits pride towards his business dealings (“And I was now the owner of the brightest club in the district. My club, my rules. […] It was everything I had ever wanted or wished for. […] I made a mountain of money, enough to retire and be buried like a pharaoh.”). This could be suggested to be partly because Louis has moved away from the legacy of his family’s past to create something that he can try to believe is helping his, primarily black, workers (“I paid the staff better, paid the band better, all the while helping those who had been with me down the block to better themselves.”).

Most significantly of all, this context adds an additional lens through which Louis and the audience can examine some of the overarching existential ideas that Louis has been grappling with throughout his life, and that the second interview brings to the forefront. How does the past continue to define our present? Can we be considered in any way culpable for the actions of others? What reparations can we make for the harm, deliberate and unintentional, that we do? The open-ended way that Louis approaches the link between his inherited wealth and chattel slavery, as well as the subsequent ways that these have shaped his life, is reflective of those unanswered questions. Louis is desperately trying to find, if not a definitive answer to these philosophical quandaries, an insight that can give his existence purpose and direction. It is vital to Louis that his experiences offer some greater lesson (“That's the purpose. Our book must be a warning as much as anything.”), and ideally one that he can prove that he has already learnt. The different ways that Louis approaches the subject in 1973 and 2022 then reflect how he is revaluating the past and himself (“The passage of time and the frailties that accompany it have provided me perspective.”), but despite this, critically and symbolically, Louis still does not seem to have come to any conclusions.

#one of the worst things that I think can happen to art is for its nuances and complexities to be dulled and sanded away #because of others inability or refusal to engage with them #I wanted to write about these lines and specifically the one in the first episode #because they are great examples of how much depth is contained in the writing #how complex a person Louis is #as well as Louis' wonderful ability to casually throw a line in that we then think about for days #I have in fact been writing this analysis over the course of two weeks #because I have accepted that I will never get my analysis done before season two #(actually it makes me feel slightly ill when I think about it) #but at least this thousand plus word analysis is about a couple lines of dialogue instead of just one #that may be progress #anyway racists DNI #Louis de Pointe du Lac #Interview with the Vampire #Vampterview #Jagged Jottings

thank you for talking about how annoying sunnytwt has been lately. i literally feel crazy reading some of these people’s opinions… for some reason in the last few weeks there’s been an uptick of people completely misunderstanding the characters

I jump on the chance to blame Tiktok all the time, but considering how many people recently admit they started watching Sunny because they saw Macdennis Tiktok edits.. that is the leading cause here. And I love a fun ship edit as much as the next guy, but it seems like Macdennis edits and random out of context clips (and probably tweets that leave the neighbourhood too) are bringing people into the fandom under the guise that everything we discuss here is woobification headcanons and fanon, because bingeing the show once-through with your phone in your face doesn’t give you an even remotely-close understanding of the depth and complexity wrapped into every episode of Sunny, and I’m sure is actually extremely offputting.

There is a reason Sunny is seen as a cult show and only averages around 300k viewers every season.. Many people just genuinely don’t like or enjoy, let alone understand, the kind of dark humour, commentary, and heavy meta the show (and the relationships in the show) revolves around. A chunk of new Sunny Twitter users clearly got really into Macdennis/one of the characters and then got hit with the cold hard reality of what the show is, and instead of recognising Sunny isn’t for them and bowing out, they strapped on extreme woobification goggles to still enjoy what they were introduced to via fanon as if it's all canon.

Now it seems like half the active fandom, if not more, exist this way and don’t understand that the characters are never going to be good people and the relationships are always going to be fucked up and toxic, and the central theme will always be about abuse and that’s the point and that we like that

And this isn't me just assuming these things, but that myself and others continually try to engage with new people who show signs of not understanding this concept by explaining how and why the things they’re complaining about happened in canon and why those things are actually true to who the characters are and genuinely, every time, we end up getting privately quoted if not blocked.. lmao

And that’s whatever, if you’re actively choosing to shit on canon in favour of your random headcanons, we don’t need to see each other’s Tweets, but the fact that I know Rob and other members of the Sunny crew are seeing the craziest takes imaginable is honestly what bothers me.. because it’s just embarrassing 🤦‍♂️

#and again. there’s a difference between having fun #and knowing you’re exaggerating canon and woobifying for the lolz #and actively saying shit like ‘dennis being a deadbeat dad is out of character’ #people are legit doing 'meta' and 'analysis' on MADE UP SHIT #i do not get it. #the theory that theres an alternate version of sunny these people are watching grows stronger every day i must say #ask #i think twitter is a shitty platform for fandoms during hiatuses anyway ngl #the restrictions on formatting and posting are not conducive to any actual analysis or meta or critial thinking at all really #its for stan culture engagement and casual conversations

[angelsdean]

was reading an article abt all of dean's deaths on the show bc i was looking for a list of all his deaths and just. the way the article ends talking abt dean's last death saying, "The brothers eventually meet in Heaven where they're finally able to live peacefully, reunited with their friends and family." Like ??? That's how the general audience / casual viewers interpret the finale and it's so ???? like you clearly missed the point of the show entirely if you think them dying and being reunited in Heaven is a good ending. And if you think them being dead means they're somehow finally getting to "live peacefully with their friends and family." Like, they're dead !!! There is no living. This new open-world Heaven isn't the same as being alive on Earth. If it were then why keep them dead in the first place ??? Also, literally a HUGE recurring theme of the show is that they DIDN'T want peace or 'paradise' over freedom. Especially Dean. Dean always wanted freedom over peace, because peace is meaningless if there is no freedom. And I guess you could argue that they got their "freedom" if you're doing a surface level reading of 15x19 / 15x20 and take it for face-value that they actually defeated Chuck. But that ending echoes Chuck's ending almost to the T. It's bleak af when you take .05 seconds to think about it. Dean dies young on a run-of-the-mill hunt and sam has now lost everyone (dean, cas, jack, mary) and seemingly doesn't marry eileen (his most recent major love interest) and doesn't seem to keep in touch w/ any of his hunter friends and family (garth, jody, donna, claire, etc). And he continues to grieve dean into his old age, like he never gets over it. It's depressing. But yeah oh, reunited in heaven so it's fine. Like !!! They deserved to LIVE. After everything, if they really defeated chuck and won their freedom they all (including cas and jack) deserved to live and finally write their own stories !!!!

#general audience / casual viewers drive me up the wall #like think !!!!! think abt the media you consume !!!!! engage with the media !!!! analyze it !!!!! #or at the very least. actually remember the central themes !!! and what they're even fighting for !! #vic.txt
