thinking about the fruits being on sherbs c!sherb playlist and. thinking about these specific few lines. "Screaming birds sound an awful lot like singing, and I will tell you now that I'm not even singing." like. mmmm. /pos
SO much sympathy for people that have to spend years in LFG servers and local game shops just to find a DND table for their first experience
Mine went more like this:
Me, literally 0 intentions of ever actually playing DND: *Innocently talking to a friend whom I loved but rarely ever saw on my birthday* "Hey, you're into DND right? I've been watching a lot of videos on it and I had a concept for a character. I'm gonna run it past you-- Do you think it could work in a campaign?"
Friend, who's been looking for an excuse to hang out more often AND new players: *Cracks knuckles* "Well it better"
I just finished Interview with the Vampire and I enjoyed it, the last part in particular was just like being hit with a brick over and over again, but I was struck by how different it was from what I expected. And like, my knowledge of the book was very limited, I basically just knew the title and that theres a vampire named Lestat, I assumed he would be the one being interviewed and I was. wrong. Its kinda funny because they dont say Louis' name for a pretty long time and I remember reading like the first description of what 'the vampire' looked like and it said he had black hair and I was like "waiiiiiiit. Lestats meant to be blonde right" but then I realized I knew nothing about this book except like 2 gifsets ive seen float around on tumblr and barely remember and was like "no, why would I even think that, because Lestat seems like a blonde guy-kinda name? thats silly of me" but well. yknow. I had also heard that this book was really gay and it was! specifically, it was gay in that interesting incredibly fucked up way that I really enjoy as an aroace girlie, so that was cool 👍 but because of that, I thought the guy doing the interview would be more important, in the sense that I thought there would be more of narrative outside of the interview but that mainly ended up being the framing device, and I thought he would have some kind of gay thing with Lestat and I mean, that could happen in one of the sequels but it didnt happen here. I guess Lestat is really the thing ive been thinking the second-most about because hes the only character I knew literally anything of before reading and I was able to have have some pre-conceived notions about him, all of which were wrong (except for him being blonde). Like, I thought he was gonna be like, a vampire's Vampire if that makes sense, but instead I was struck by how deeply and genuinely pathetic he is. i dont really have anything else to say tbh
