When Louis joins in the laughter at the state of Lestat’s cards, he does so because he has recognised what those other men have not; Lestat is blatantly hustling, play acting as the rich-and-naive-foreigner to the point of parody (“I'm terrible at cards. Did I not mention that to everyone?”). It is absurd that anyone would believe this to be real, but Lestat has correctly measured the extent of the others' greed, ego, and xenophobia. This is an overture by Lestat to Louis, an attempt at drawing similarities between them by showing how he too is underestimated by those around him. It is so interesting then that Lestat chooses to follow this up by revealing some of his powers to Louis, changing the presentation from one where he is wrongfully thought of as lesser, to one where Lestat is superior. This could be another type of humiliation and emasculation ("In front of a florist wasn't it? We both wanted the last bouquet of lilies.") for Louis, if not an outright threat. Yet Lestat presents this power as something that can help Louis, that Louis should welcome. And then, in the next breath, Lestat elevates Louis above him (“[...] I'll need protection from the wolves”), making himself vulnerable with an offer of help and love that Louis could refuse. In one evening, Lestat switches between presenting himself to Louis as having less, equal, and more power than him. And of course, this scene also demonstrates how power and access to it are controlled by societal forces beyond individual influence. For all that Lestat is an outsider with odd mannerisms and too long hair, his whiteness ensures that a respectful title is given before his name. Lestat simultaneously sets it up so that Louis can win money at cards, privately criticising the discrimination Louis faces, while publicly backing up the excuse used to pressure Louis into accepting an exploitative deal.

#realised a few hours after I posted this that I forgot to add that this is all on top of the power play in their previous interaction #so I have made edits which no one has seen #I am not certain whether that has improved or worsened my sanity #Lestat de Lioncourt #Louis de Pointe du Lac #Interview with the Vampire #Vampterview

It's WHAT day today!? Not me already feeling weird about working on two sketches to post the same weekend as that sketch I posted for the first time in months only to find out that Today is the Two Year Anniversary of The Day Dinluke Took Over My Brain.

(It's not 12AM yet, this still counts as a 12/18 post)

Anyway.

Been dying to do some nice proper "the staircase fic is firmly on my mind" sketches. This version of Luke actually shows up later in the fic and the shape/cut/color of his robes are also influenced by Padme's wardrobe. Din's look has appeared on this blog before and is super duper influenced by what we saw of Aq Vetina's residents in the flashback scenes. The, uh, holocron plays a smaller part than it looks but I bought a holocron at Disneyland and wanted to have fun with my new reference.

Have I posted about the staircase fic on the art blog? It is live and currently posting as Gravity Well on AO3.

The final part to the Wingman Wayne AU is here! (And I also decided to publish the whole thing on ao3!!!)

'You got somethin' you wanna tell me?' asks Wayne when he steps out of the trailer to join Eddie for a smoke, the door creaking behind him.

Eddie still can't believe how that man never fails to be one step ahead of him.

'Um... Can I um...' He clears his throat. He doesn't know why he's being so nervous all of a sudden – it's just Wayne, after all. 'We're having dinner together tomorrow, right?'

'Always on Sunday,' Wayne confirms. His perceptive blue eyes wander over his nephew’s face like he's concerned about something. Then, a strong hand lands on Eddie’s shoulder.

'You know you can tell me anything, right?'

Of course he does. He breathes out, thinks back to that excited look in Wayne’s eyes when he first gave Eddie that number. Wayne’s safe. Always has been, always will be.

'Can I invite my boyfriend?'

His uncle arches an eyebrow, deepening the lines on his forehead. 'Your boyfriend, huh?' he repeats. 'Is he named Chad?'

Eddie bursts into laughter. Of course he would react like that.

'No, he's not,' he answers. 'He's named Steve.'

'Ha! I knew it!'

Eddie only rolls his eyes; of-fucking-course this was going to happen.

'So I take it you wanna tell me you learned to never doubt your old uncle again, huh?’

Eddie snorts. 'Need I remind you that I only met up with him to stop your ridiculous matchmaking?'

'And now that you know how wrong you were ‘bout that one, you wanna apologize to me for bein’ as stubborn as a goddamn mule and beg me to not stop my matchmaking after all?'

'No, I very much still want you to stop that,' Eddie retorts. 'I'm actually planning to keep this one around long enough for you to never have to play matchmaker again. But you know what, Steve has this lesbian friend, I'm sure she'd love to be set up with a cute girl who “looks like a lesbian” to you.'

Wayne doesn't seem to register the sarcasm in Eddie's voice or the teasing twinkle in his eyes; he frowns, looking like he's deep in thought, before his face lights up all of a sudden.

'I met this nice young lady who works for the Gazette, she did some article 'bout the working circumstances at the plant a couple weeks back. Was real polite, actually listened to what we had to say for a change... I'm sure she'd get along just fine with Steve's friend.'

Eddie starts cackling. 'Don't let it get to your head now, old man.' He pauses. 'Or actually, maybe you should. You could become, like, the psychic of the gays. Earn lots of money with it.' Eddie wiggles his eyebrows as he says it.

Wayne merely shakes his head at him, but an almost invisible smile is tugging at his lips. Suddenly, he brusquely pulls Eddie in for a sideways hug.

'I'm happy for ya, Ed. You better keep your Steve around for a while, alright?'

-------

As soon as Steve arrives at the trailer, Eddie launches himself into in his arms and immediately gets himself a taste of the most delicious kind of strawberry known to mankind, because he might as well profit as much as he possibly can from the fact that he can actually do that now.

Steve gapes at him, his mouth hanging slightly open and his eyebrows raised in bewilderment. 'Dude. Did you just lick my mouth?'

Eddie shrugs. 'Tastes like a lollipop.'

It isn't until he takes a step back that he properly notices the parts of Steve that aren't his pink lips: he's wearing a dinner jacket and holding a bunch of flowers – which by the looks of it got mildly maimed by Eddie's enthusiastic greeting.

'What the fuck, Stevie.' It slips out before Eddie can help it.

'What?' Steve gives him another confused look.

'I mean, don't get me wrong, you're looking insanely hot right now, but... Why are you dressed like we're about to go to the opera?'

'Meeting the parents for the first time, gotta make a good impression!'

'You already met Wayne,' Eddie blankly points out.

'I didn't meet him as your boyfriend, though.' Your boyfriend. It feels fucking unreal to hear Steve say that. And judging by the way it makes Eddie's stomach all floaty and his mouth unable to stop smiling, it's gonna be very bad for that scary metal image he's been working so hard on crafting for himself.

'He's already, like, your number one fan,' Eddie says. 'You need to fuck up real bad to not make a good impression here.'

An adorably relieved look crosses Steve's face at those words.

Eddie squints at Steve's clothes, from the baby-blue button-down to the neatly polished fancy shoes that already got completely ruined by the muddy trailer park ground.

'Dude, you know where we are, right?' he says. 'Just – take a look around you. Do you think we are the kind of people that care about formal clothing and fucking flowers? We were barely able to fit a third chair around the dinner table, we're literally gonna be eating canned macaroni.'

Steve furrows his brows. 'Are you trying to scare me off?'

'No, I'm just giving you the facts. Because you look like you were expecting cloth napkins and, I dunno, maybe the Queen of England.'

'Not really. Just wanted to do it properly.' He shrugs lightly and suddenly seems smaller, like Eddie is not the only one who sometimes gets overwhelmed by figuring out this whole relationship thing they have going on. 'It's important to me. And honestly, your uncle deserves even more respect than the Queen of England, for getting you into my life, you know.'

And Jesus, if that isn't enough to make Eddie melt into a puddle right on the spot... He hopes Steve doesn't notice how rapidly he's suddenly blinking.

'So, you gonna take these or not?'

Steve holds out the flowers, almost hesitant, like he's half expecting Eddie to refuse them. As if he could ever refuse anything Steve would gift him.

'Why thank you, my darling,' Eddie says with a bow. 'You're actually the first guy who ever brought me flowers.' He lets his fingers linger around Steve's as he takes the bouquet from him.

A soft smile crosses Steve’s face. 'And you're the first guy I ever brought flowers to.' He still doesn’t pull his hands away, but instead leans in closer to give Eddie a peck on his lips. And maybe, just maybe, there's something about the whole thing – the jacket, the flowers, the sweetness – that Eddie could actually get used to.

'You wanna get inside and say hi to my uncle?'

'I'd love to. Can't wait to thank him properly for being the greatest matchmaker on earth.'

'Please don't tell him that,' Eddie says with a chuckle. 'He really doesn't need any more encouragement. I'm pretty sure he's already scheming to set up a queer dating agency or some shit.'

‘You should know by now I can hear everything you're sayin' from here!’ Wayne’s voice yells from inside the trailer.

Steve grins as Eddie grabs his hand tighter to lead him inside.

‘It wouldn't hurt you to show him some more support in following his dreams, you know,’ he mumbles to Eddie under his breath.

‘Jesus H. Christ, I can’t believe you’re already teaming up with him to bully me before you even met him!’

He should probably be mad about it, but Steve squeezes his hand and gives him such a precious smile that the only thing he can do is smile back at him.

Holy shit creating this silly little AU has honestly been such a wild ride thanks to all your reactions to it, i can’t say enough how happy all those notifications have made me and I still can’t believe there were SO MANY OF YOU who asked to follow along!!<3333

actually i’m not done with the poseidon stuff. i love all the changes they made and i love all the stuff they kept exactly the same. there’s a fourteen years old me somewhere in the past that is violently sobbing because she finally heard poseidon say the sea does not like to be restrained. there’s the child of divorce in me that is still reeling from last week’s episode with poseidon coming in a heartbeat when sally calls for him. there’s the little hopeful kid in me that is so thankful to the writers for changing the game so that percy missed the solstice deadline and poseidon showed up in a split second to save him, even if it meant surrendering and losing the war to his brother. and there is present me, who just heard poseidon ask his son if his mother taught him greek with that bewildered but actually more than knowing look, because of course sally jackson taught percy ancient greek. there is present me who heard a week ago that poseidon would be by his son’s side when the time came, and he finally was, not just in the fight with ares, because that was actually all percy, that was his powers and his wit. no he was by his side when percy insulted the god of the skies and nearly got himself blasted out of existence, and poseidon came right away just as he did for sally. and when percy finally asked his question, not even knowing how little it took for poseidon to show up in a cafe as soon as sally called all those years ago, poseidon looked at him with the pain of a lifetime spent apart, because how could he ever not dream about sally jackson?

#gods i am in shambles #there’s one thing i never thought i’d be in life and that is a poseidon truther #how did we get here #i need a posally book rick. it’s for my sanity #kudos to the writers because they truly made the changes that were nevessary #posally #pjo #pjotv #pjo tv #pjo tv series #pjo tv show #percy series #percy jackson and the olympians #percy jackon and the olympians #percy jackson #rick riordan #riordanverse

Me telling myself that I should stop shipping two characters together that are literally made to be shipped but instead I should respect that both characters have their own canonical love lives and I should not just disregard it but support it especially when one character from that ship is canonically gay with a canonical partner that is also gay

Also me:
