For real, bring back whatever the 80s had going on with movies (without forcibly bringing back/rebooting 80s movies), like just earnestly genuinely tell me the most ridiculous plot you can and let me be taken on a real journey with it, tell me that delorean is a time machine, tell me there’s treasure hidden on a pirate ship under this town, tell me we’re busting ghosts in NY with particle accelerators strapped to our backs, and we’re grabbing Abe Lincoln and Napoleon and Socrates to party with us so we pass our history class, tell me we’re hunting down vampires because they’re just chilling in California this whole time, tell me that department store mannequin has a curse on it that brings it to life and only one guy can see it and starts dating it, and tell me that Geena Davis is falling in love with the blue fuzzy alien Jeff Goldblum she gave a makeover to after he crash landed in her swimming pool, ate her sofa cushion like it was popcorn, and wooed her with the English phrases he learned solely from watching television, and etc etc, tell me that all with a straight face and own it

Alice is in her third trimester
I've seen a few comments about Daniel possibly cheating on Alice with Armand and I'm kinda like . . . you're assuming that Daniel or Armand -- who regularly, at least in the books, would be in situations where Armand would sit in a chair and watch Daniel have sex with other people -- would themselves view that as cheating. Because I don't think they would've. (At the very least, not younger Daniel.)
It's been talked about, more than once, about how the vampires in this universe are inherently polyamorous. I don't think Armand would care at all about sharing Daniel with another lover. And Daniel, being entangled with Armand (and quite possibly Louis as well) for so long might have himself become not overly concerned with such a thing.
I think Alice is the only one who would have cared that Daniel was sleeping with someone else (if she ever found out), and would have seen it that way. But I, personally, can see Armand and younger Daniel not caring about that view of things in the slightest . . . particularly because they were the ones who were together initially anyway. And that Daniel probably first ever got together with Alice during one of Daniel's running away periods.
Because the main thing that led to their splits sometimes, i.e. Daniel running away, was because Armand's refusal to make Daniel a vampire. Other than that, though? Nothing else in the relationship between them was a problem, particularly for Daniel. And I think that is going to be true wrt the show's version of events. Still being with his vampire lover, even after he may have gotten married? Don't think it is at all outside of possibility -- or that Daniel would have any guilt about it.
And THAT piece of information -- that the only problem he had with the relationship with Armand is that Armand wouldn't turn him -- is going to be the info that Daniel, in the present, likely won't want to face about himself IMO.
Daniel is clearly accepting of the fact that he was a shit father and a terrible husband. But accepting the possible true reason behind all of that?
I said it last year, and I'll say it again -- the revelation about the Devil's Minion that's going to hit Daniel the hardest is very likely going to be the one that reveals he has ZERO moral high ground when it comes to these vampires.
At the moment, Daniel can tell himself that he asked Louis for the Dark Gift because he thought Louis was wasting it. But that excuse is not going to work when it comes to the years and years he asked and wanted Armand to turn him.
That Armand refused to break his vow to never bring another into The Blood -- that is what ended up being what drove them apart. Not any moral conscious Daniel ever had, or grew, about being with Armand at all. Not even whatever transpired regarding Daniel and Alice (and Daniel getting her pregnant likely not just once, but twice, never mind marrying her.)
If Armand had decided to break his vow back then, then IMO, Daniel would have accepted. Alice or no Alice. Kids or no kids. Because while Daniel in the present has nice, even sincerely heartfelt memories about Alice? His past self was clearly emotionally checked out of whatever relationship he had with her by the time of that pregnancy announcement in 1985.
1985. The same year when, in the books, Armand finally did break his vow and turn Daniel, on Halloween. And this is what Daniel had to say about it when Armand finally decided to turn him:
"But don't you see," Daniel said, "all human decisions are made like this. Do you think the mother knows what will happen to the child in her womb? Dear God, we are lost, I tell you. What does it matter if you give it to me and it's wrong! There is no wrong! There is only desperation, and I would have it! I want to live forever with you."
As long as Daniel held any knowledge of not only vampires but of Armand specifically, this is what he would think, what he would always want. And that, IMO, is why he was emotionally checked out when Alice announced that pregnancy. Because, at that point in time, he still held the knowledge, of not just vampires, but Armand himself.
And they were still very much entangled with each other at that time IMO. Still lovers.
My theory is that it isn't Daniel kicking his drug habit that had him "getting his shit together." Well, okay, he did kick a drug habit, but the drug in question was actually Armand's blood. Not to mention Armand himself.
And I think that event happened sometime around when Alice was in her third trimester. (Hence, the name of that track listing).
. . . .
I'm also beginning to wonder if Armand actually was the one who repressed/blocked Daniel's memories of him, or if it was someone else. No, I don't think Louis was the one who did it, (or Lestat either btw), and Armand doing it does make the most sense, given he clearly is not harboring any happy thoughts about Alice, and Daniel splitting from him for her. But a day or so before the new clip came out, @faerywhimsy made a comment to me about who could have also done it, given a comment I made elsewhere about the timeline length Daniel and Armand were apart, and what book-event that matches up with and well . . . .
That person being the one who took Daniel's memories not only tracks wrt the timeline Armand and Daniel spend apart, but it would also track when it comes to the relationship Armand has with that person too. That's all I'm saying . . .
. . . .
Anyway, yeah. I think it was around Alice's third trimester when Armand and Daniel actually split for good. Which, depending on when she got pregnant could conceivably be around towards the end of 1985. Though, more possibly, go over into 1986. But I think that is why there is actually a track named that when it comes to the score for Season 2. Because that time period became a significant one. The time when Daniel actually "got his shit together."
And maybe why, in the present, he can have such love and loving thoughts about Alice. Because the reasons for his being emotionally checked out were no longer at the forefront of his mind for so long anymore (even if he still ended up being a shitty husband and father still -- with Alice as his ex and his kids not speaking to him -- without them).

i am so tired of seeing this screenshot about wish's ending reposted everywhere and used to make fun of the movie:
Tumblr media
and this is coming from someone who didn't even like the movie very much, but this is misrepresenting what happened. yes, there is a thing where asha wears a cloak resembling that of the fairy godmother and at the end star makes her a magic wand and the kids say she's like a fairy godmother, king magnifico does get trapped in a mirror, etc, and the movie was absolutely filled with easter eggs and references to previous movies--yep, when i saw the movie i did in fact take these scenes as just easter eggs! after all, think about this logically, if all currently existing movies in the disney animated canon were meant to take place in the same universe, and asha canonically grows up to be cinderella's fairy godmother, then...
Tumblr media
how can you explain such a drastic difference in appearance? how can you justify asha, a brown-skinned afro-hispanic girl with a face full of freckles and long brown hair, and this old white woman being the same person? you can't, because they're not!!!! if i recall correctly asha doesn't even wear that cloak at the end when they're calling her a fairy godmother, she just wears it during one scene when she's a fugitive and has to sneak around. also...
Tumblr media
the creators of the movie have directly confirmed that they were not trying to set up a disney multiverse and that it's not meant to be taken that seriously. rapunzel and eugene's cameo in frozen also wasn't meant to be taken anywhere near as seriously as everyone took it. neither were any previous cameos like belle in hunchback of notre dame or aurora in oliver and company (and if aurora being in oliver and company was canon, she'd be over 600 years old!). and, back to wish specifically, the little easter egg earlier in the movie where magnifico sees a wish bubble from someone who wants the perfect nanny to take care of their kids and says he's "poppin' that one" also doesn't mean the banks family from mary poppins canonically lives in rosas. the scene at the end where a boy named peter who wears all green and dreams of creating a flying machine goes to work with a girl in a blue nightgown whose wish is to fly doesn't mean peter pan and wendy actually somehow lived together in rosas and knew each other before the movie peter pan ever happened. it is literally impossible for all of these movies to take place in the same time period and universe, so it's a good thing that they, uh, don't, and were never intended to. please, if you don't like the movie, that's perfectly fine, but don't say disney is trying to create some convoluted multiverse and "MCU-ify" their movies when that just literally isn't true.

To the Announcer of The Nightfolk Network. I know in this day and age I should not give out personal information. Especially more so with these correspondence potentially being read to the country. But I feel I should clarify who I am first, as that is linked with my problem. I am, or I was, The Boy in Bronze. Yes, the statue that was in the Royal collection that was discovered to be a person in-cased in bronze as I was released accidentally. I still feel bad for the staff I frightened. As you know, I was sealed by my Mas- I mean, the late Lord Crawford. The inventor and scientist who, as I have learnt through recent education, has been remembered more in infamy. It has been an adjustment. One moment I was standing in the lab as Mas- I mean, Lord Crawford, explained about a work he was to present for Queen Victoria's wedding. The next I was on the ground in a bright place whilst people in unusual garbs were staring. Some holding up these... mirrors? I know they are called smartphones, but it was still confusing. Now, I was helped. Apparently I was not the first person, or entity, to be thrown through time. Though admittedly, my method of travel was unique, I was connected to my many great nephew and his partner? is that the right term? Back then they would have been bachelors. I guess that is some of the main issues I am having. Not with them, no no. Back during the era, the monsters. No, sorry. The Creature Community, wasn't that visible? I mean, people were aware of them, but I never knew them or the terms they have now. And back then, well... it was not a kind time. It was a surprise to learn the old village baker from back then was in the community as I ran into them whilst seeing the village nowadays, though it was nice getting to talk to someone who I knew back then. And I am surprised that after I was gone my family had changed to include Liminal Folks (Is that correct?) and they have been more than kind. My, I hate calling him and his partner nephews as they are older than me, I have taken to calling them uncles as they are older and referring to them as Mister feels... too formal. They have been kind and very forth coming with so much, even when I have made comments that apparently are not... correct, particularly with their Genera, that is the term right? An example would be I never knew there were werewolves who can change not only during the full moon, but even at will, Or that Giants are not blood driven animals only seeking food.
I am sorry. Everything has changed. And I rather like these changes. I just need to try and understand sometimes. Well this is my problem. I know that mas- I mean, Lord Crawford was a horrible man. Even by the standards of the time as he was executed following his grotesque experiments on many both in and out of the Liminal community. And I am not excusing that, far from it. The problem is, people speak to me about him, or how I should feel of him. But. It was different. I was his valet. Lord Crawford had sponsored me, giving my family payment as he had me clothed, educated, and served him. That was how it was back then. An example would be whilst studying for O-level examinations (And can I say how impressive it is that everyone has the access to education) there was mention on figures of the era, and people asked me about my experience living with Lord Crawford, or how as a member of the creature community how I could stand being in his presence back then. I just, how can I explain I am not a member of this community as I am human? How I am not one of Master Crawford's victims and what he had done to me was nothing compared to those he tortured and killed. I mean, being frozen as a statue was not that bad. I just... how do I explain what happened to me is nothing compared to the others who were hurt? I hope this letter does not bother you. With kind regards, The Former Boy in Bronze
First of all, dear reader, I want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work you're putting into learning the new social and political norms to which you have awakened. It is no easy feat to adjust to a world so changed, and I'm glad your uncles are able to correct you with kindness when you It
It may help to understand why others consider you to be a member of the community. The interpretation rests on a rather significant shift in how liminal folk define and discuss themselves since you were last awake.
At the time of your encasement, Darwin's theories of evolution were sending shockwaves through the scientific community, and the dominant framework for understanding liminality was as an evolutionary, biological difference, inherent in certain bodies.
We can still see that framework influencing our language today. We talk about “genuses” as if they represent profound, biological distinctions. But that thinking only takes us so far. In what sense are the risen dead a different genus than their more vital siblings? Is a sapio who becomes haematophagic now a different species, or not?
Currently, the dominant framework for understanding liminality is a great deal broader, and concentrates primarily on experience. A person might consider themselves to be liminal after growing up in a mixed-genus family, for example, even if they themselves were sapio. The same goes for magical practitioners or people who experience liminality as a result of their work.
With all that said, you certainly don't have to ascribe to a liminal identity if you don't find it helpful. Neither do you have to identify as a victim if that word feels inaccurate to your experiences. Other people in your position might describe themselves as “survivors” of magical violence, while others still prefer not to incorporate the experience into their identity at all.
All of these positions are valid, and I encourage you to explore the language that feels right for you. This language might change over time, and that's perfectly alright too. You aren't beholden to anyone to talk about yourself and your experiences in a particular way if you don't want to.
And if you are not beholden to using certain language, you are especially not beholden to feeling certain emotions just because others expect them of you. Nobody can dictate to you how you “ought” to feel about Lord Crawford or his actions.
It is perfectly natural for you to feel conflicted or complicated about your former master's treatment of you. Have you considered talking the matter through with a professional? Our understanding of mental health and well-being have also come a long way since you were last with us, and I think you could really benefit from exploring your feelings more deeply.
Talk to your uncles about accessing some counselling or therapy, and take some time to reflect and consider what language you want to use about yourself. That way, you'll be well-placed to offer a polite correction to people who mistake your identity in the future.
Finally, I would like to push back gently on your assertion that what happened to you was “nothing” compared to the other people Lord Crawford hurt. Suffering is, unfortunately, not a finite resource. There is more than enough to go around. Acknowledging the harm done to you does not diminish the harm done to others – it only does yourself a disservice.
