reddit post aita for helping astarion with his ascension while also romancing wyll
like. he's the hero guy. he's the lawful good protector of the common folk out of the goodness of his heart Blade of Frontiers. and I just helped murder seven thousand people (SEVEN THOUSAND. SEVEN. THOUSAND. THAT IS A LOT OF PEOPLE. WHO ARE NOW SQUISHY BLOOD PILES.) and obviously he disapproves but also....? not very much???
I feel like I should probably break up with me over this and yet he hasn't o,.,o
aita for expecting my fiance to say being complicit in the gruesome slaughter of a literal city's worth of innocents is a deal breaker????

There's some subtle height stuff happening here -- Lloyd Owen and Maxim Baldry are about the same height, but the height difference between Isildur and Eárien seems to be about the same as the difference between all three's natural heights. Elendil's intentionally a lot taller, about as much as is reasonable to keep everyone comfortable in frame lol

(hiii laura) bc I haven’t seen yellowjacket’s yet, when I saw your name change my first thought was that it was a deepcut btvs reference to xander’s ‘I <3 dirt’ t-shirt (btw you, jaime, and the other btvs -> yellowjackets mutuals are making such solid campaigns to watch im so confident it’ll consume me the second I start it)
kldjafslkhjdf megan i love this SO much my url is now absolutely a reference to both
^ girls with exactly one (1) thing in common (❤️ing dirt)

Haruka Tenoh, in her mind: Slick, cool, a little dangerous, but in a sexy way. Troubled and brooding, also in a sexy way. Basically a Japanese Butch Lesbian James Dean
Actual Haruka Tenoh: This

I've never once entered a fandom where my first thought was to use the block button immediately on some tumblrs, but hoo boy, IWTV/VC fandom, I have considered it.
I mean, I love the fandom and all the joy it brings. It was my little niche literary bible for middle school/high school/baby me who was trying to figure out where I fell into this "idk who I am because I'm goth, but don't dress it, I'm a POC who's been called an oreo, and I'm struggling to figure out my sexuality and gender identity" hole that I was in. And VC/1994 film was there for me.
But holy shit, some of y'all seemed hella determined to hate the show before it even started. In a way, that to me, makes it seem like you needed to quickly find super small reasons to hate the show that wasn't for obvious purposes.
Like hating the fact that the D in du Lac is capitalized, on a letter that's written in cursive. Like aside from the fact that I'm surprised anyone writes in cursive other than me, it's a super small production error for a prop. That shit happens all the time.
Or hating the fact that Louis now runs and owns brothels (but he owned plantations in the novel! I hear some cry). Yea, and they touch on the fact that Louis had to adapt to survive in a world that was against him, especially seeing as how his father, a free black man, owned slaves and ran a plantation. Which is something I didn't even know was a thing. But even then people complained, not about anything noteworthy, but for the mere fact that it wasn't a sugar plantation but a lavender one.
It's just these really small things. These small details, this outcry of how the show isn't like the novels, when it very much is. It very much is similar to the tone and style of the novels, but trimmed up much neater in that non rambling way that Anne Rice tended to write in. Or the outcry of how Anne Rice would have hated the display of her vampires getting it on. Like...the same Anne Rice who wrote extreme bodice ripper's in her free time? That Anne Rice?
