i am not trying to rain on anyone's parade but like gerard literally witnessed 9/11 and it affected him so much he diverted course and started a band like i think he would think it was in poor taste to announce anything on 9/11. 9/12 however

Why you should read Cirque du Freak by Darren Shan, aka the best vampire series of all time:
The freak show is like home. You will feel at home among the freaks. You will fall in love with the snake people and selkies and superhumans that live in the freak show and you will loathe the fact that you don't live with them
Surprisingly serious storyline considering its a book series for 10 year olds. Very efficient at killing off main characters, very good at handling death, very good at showcasing the grief of the survivors
The vampires live in a society modeled on warrior cultures, including, but not limited to, vikings, maasai, and samurais. They live to be strong warriors, and would rather die an honorable death than live in shame - which is cool, I guess, but the way the author portrays it is hilarious, because they literally just spend their eternal life sparring with each other and practicing the sexy sexy art of wrestling
Father/son found family that will tug at your heart strings
Well-handled plot twists all throughout the series. Twists that may completely surprise you at times, but make perfect sense on a reread
The author has a habit of suddenly introducing time travel at the end of his book series, but he never does it to actually solve any problems, or as a deus ex machina, he only does it because he seemingly has an obsession with time travel and wants to include it for no good reason. And it's used in very original ways and somehow it just works. And this series is no exception.
Did I mention all the stupid sexy vampires who fight shirtless for no reason other than "honor!!!1"

anyway i once tried to think about an au where the girl who waited!amy somehow kept travelling with the doctor and i just couldn't picture any single episode happening past the bells of st john bc clara would literally never in her entire life wander off and get into trouble if she could just stand and stare at a milf with a sword instead

23 is young and i don't wanna go acting like it isn't but sometimes i see stuff from baby zoomers and i feel fucking ancient. skibidi toilet? i have yet to understand what that's referencing. reality shifting? i was into new agey stuff as a teen and i get the whole law of attraction/manifestation thing, but the rest is all greek to me. a good half of the aesthetics i see talked about online? literally got overwhelmed when i stumbled on the aesthetics wiki last year and i feel like an idiot seeing all these kids list off like 4 different hyperspecific aesthetics to describe themselves 😭 girl what does any of that mean? patiently explain it like i'm 85 when it comes up, or don't expect me to know what the hell you're talking about. i'll just end up smiling and nodding like your out of touch grandpa who loves your energy but is frightened by cellphones and the concept of smartfridges 💀💀💀

everything i ever knew was shaped by you, my god, my guide, my family, my leader, too, but as the heavy hand came down, time and time again, i held my breath and stopped my tongue and wondered when
when would these bloody breathing walls fall and set me free, when would i be let to fly and get away from thee
just thinking about my personal headcanon for why hunter wears gloves... hope it's not too sad for you dhdhhdfh :')
