One of my favorite things about how Anne Rice writes historical fiction: she doesn't sugar-coat her characters.

As in, there was never going to be any way all these vampires going back 6000 years were going to align with modern sensibilities. They're not savory. They suck.

First off, any male of status from before the Great Depression probably did, in fact, look at an underage girl and think, "she LOOKS like she could grow up cute and interesting, but do I want to wait to ask her dad and risk someone else calling dibs in the meantime?"

Lestat: Killed majestic, beautiful animals that were only trying to feed themselves. To save the lives of people who were counting on him, yeah, but still.

Marius: Literally from ancient Rome, lots of ideals from that time, pederastic relationship with Armand, see above disclaimer about males from prior to the Great Depression.

Armand, Santino, most of the de Landens: I do feel like the Children of Darkness/Satan wouldn't have been founded in our time, as evidenced by Lestat so easily disbanding them with basic Enlightenment talking points, so I think it counts.

Louis: LITERALLY OWNED SLAVES. And not in a bullshit "but I treat them so nice and they'd just be owned by someone mean if not for me!" way, he legit believed this was what black people were for. Until he became a vampire and all humans looked equal(ly foodlike) to him.

Gabrielle: Let other people raise her kids while she became a library hermit.

Maharet and Mekare: Cannibals. Oh, sorry. Respectful cannibals.

Khayman: Nnnot even gonna be sarcastic about this one. He was as much a victim of it as Maharet and Mekare, hence them not blaming him in the slightest. But people today would be put on trial for following an order like that one, so I figure it belongs here.

Daniel: idk probably unprotected gay sex. It was the 70's.

Claudia: Gets a pass. She was five. All the bad shit she does is unrelated to her time.

Mael: Helped keep a vampire captive for years, then proceeded to kidnap someone and force them to become a vampire, all because "idk we're kooky druids and it's our religion."

Everard: Laughs at Benedict for being kidnapped and having his blood stolen. Victim-blaming at its finest.

Akasha and Enkil: I mean, we know what they did, but everyone hated them in their own time, too, so.

Eudoxia: Jesus Christ.

Davis: HAS NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG EVER IN HIS LIFE. /protects him forever #theonlyinnocentvampireprobably

And you know what? I'd take the worst of these over Bill Compton, Damon Salvatore, or Whassisface Cullen fighting for the Confederacy because "the greater good." Like bro. At least the dickheads above are being honest about it and we can judge those parts of them appropriately. You're trying to make us think you were doing something honorable by being vague. We know what you were really fighting for, and so do you.

Moral of the story: If you're gonna be evil, trying to be sneaky about it only makes it worse.

#the bean #listen. listen. I LIKE reading research papers. i like utilizing my useless ass lil history degree #you cannot fucking imagine how annoying it is to research anything that deals w pregnancy #obviously its very hard to do any sort of worthwhile experiments in the first place #bc you cant just fuck up a fetus #so a lot of it is self-reported GARBAGE #or they use animals which is not always one for one #and then you see the sample data is absolute dog shit. small pool. huge outside factors #like the largest study used to cite how pregnant people shouldn’t drink? #those bitches were also doing COKE. COKE!! #at the very least doing fat lines of Colombian snow has got to fuck up your baby #or potentially doom them to being a business major in the future idk #and then you see these stupid ass websites and try to find WHERE they get their info from and it turns out like #they extrapolate ‘don’t eat rosemary’ bc they did a study where #if you gave a rat eighty times its body weight in rosemary it has spontaneous miscarriages. NO SHIT. HOW WOULD THAT AFFECT ME #TRYING TO DRINK A TEA W ROSEMARY #and then looking up the ACTUAL percentages of risk for things. like omg the fuck listeria risks for deli meat are nothing #you have a higher chance of getting in a car accident in which we get in cars and drive multiple times a day #BUT NOBODY MENTIONS BAGGED SALADS OR CANTALOUPE #THE RATES OF LISTERIA IS INSANE #AND THEN YOU HAVE TO SEE WHO SPONSORED THE STUDY #AND WHAT THEY’D POTENTIALLY GAIN FROM THE OUTCOME #AND AHHHGHGHBFDHJGBSHDFBSDJHFBDSJBFSDJ

zero and yuki is a deep cut, people suffered

not to be anti-feminist on main but looking back Yuki was annoying as hell and Zero deserved better. having said that #grateful to know I had good enough taste to ship Zero/Yuki even if I had bad enough taste to engage with that series at all

#it’s because my local blockbuster only had so much anime and I went through almost all of it #the worst consequence of this was watching Zero no Tsukaima and #no sorry that was my foray into illegal streaming. the worst consequence of blockbuster dvd selection was love hina #the best consequence was excel saga #sorry just had to look up what love hina was called [google search 2000s harem anime] and - just recalled - #kyo kara maoh ……….. premise ahead of its time #I did read the manga as well for vampire knight at least up to a certain point #hey speaking of vampires . and gay people. and bad anime. #uragiri wa boku no namae wo shitteru………….. #sorry about these tags anon when you asked about one thing and now I’m thinking about the epic highs and epic lows of 2000s anime #I still have the OPs and EDs to vampire knight in my iTunes library. they slayed! #kira for ts #ask #anonymous #so funny I watched so much anime based solely on what was available to me at blockbuster #which is how I somehow never saw some classics #by the time I had streaming access I was a) scarred by my first attempts to find things myself (see above) #and b) subsequently already seeking out That Gay Shit (see above) #and I do mean illegal streaming. let’s be clear on that one #please note absolutely nothing mentioned above is recommended viewing. I’m anti-recommending it all

The urge to not be the most annoying person ever when Gurren Lagann is mentioned by anyone randomly and I get the urge to scream “DID YOU KNOW GETTER ROBO IS A INFLUENCE ON IT” because every instance it’s always unprompted, probably not getting the person interested and it’s not like I even watched Gurren to make justifiable comparisons nor do I know when the fuck I will.

#meg text #getter robo #I will say aside from me this by itself is yet another annoying misconception getter has but worsely applied to GL #the creator was ishikawas editor so he did took the most influence out of respect but it’s ALSO just inspired by a lot of mecha #it’s a mecha love letter but somehow only made people who were curious about wtf inspired it mecha fans #where as most other people call it peak and never watch any other mecha which is why it off puts me #I’m not someone who hates it just for that bc I don’t do it with Eva since that whole thing DUMB even if I get the damage it’s done #but it is annoying to see something so hugely popular and no one gives its creative influences that are just as good a look #but also this goes back to my continued mountain of salt of “man no one talks about how significant getter is to old anime culture” #I will probably try to watch it one day but fuck knows when and please don’t enforce it on me #I have so much shit I need to watch or feel pressured to watch #(also another thing that off puts me even if it’s not related to the show itself is uh- when I first tried to watch it I was sick💀) #on my birthday too #that said if I did watch it I’d probably have a easier time talking to anime fans irl but I can’t make anything easy on myself #rejecting popular things besides a select few until I die (die as in when I finally care to try it)

I do enjoy the Jean as a character and his dynamic with Harry makes me crazy, on the other hand I hate Jean fans here

#personal #like im sorry but making him in a poor meow meow who did nothing wrong just makes him a boring plain character #the thing is that he DID a LOT of things wrong and he is not innocent #ppl say that Harry made choices that led him to the bad things happen to him BUT SO DID JEAN #its his freaking choice to stay in rcm and its his choice to work with harry #and he says that he is old but he is 30 he works out he isn't alcoholic he can choose to have a better life #BUT HE DOESN'T DO THAT #he is so hang up on the rcm and harry and their special force unit that he cant move on #he unhealthily clings to something that breaks him and he sees how it broke Harry #but he says it won't happen to me I have my shit together I am an authority I am in control I can do it #like he is so offended that Harry told him to fuck off and that he is cramping his style like it was probably a first time Harry said that? #but we know that Harry would take on too much cases and he would investigate them by himself A LOT so did he just sneak out? #we will never know but pls dont make anyone in this game Have It Together they are all broken #bc they are humans #and you can't live Right #its not a possibility in real world #they are so three dimensional Im in awe like how do you even show such humanity in a character #he is no longer a character he is a person #who cant be good or bad yeah even Harry #well I must say firing squad is like the first candidates for bad people they do feel like they are animals or smth #like you cant see anything human about them except for the fact that they avenge their captain #fucking game makes me emotional again #why didn't Jean try to talk to Harry when he saw that he is unwell #like I was standing there seeing him sitting in this cafe in his stupid wig #refusing to talk to me #yeah I understand he doesn't owe it to Harry to explain anything #but I dunno if a person cried for your help and they used to be your friend and you still work with them... #like would you just let them die #would you turn your back on them #and if you would why do you still cling to this failed friendship and this person who cries for your help

No one can tell me that percy making a small thingie for the raven queen at whitestone isn't his way to say "after all this is over I want you guys to know you have a home here."

#MAYBE NOT WHEN ALL THIS IS OVER but its his little way to show that he cares #AND HE CARES SO MUCH #guess who go to episode 58 WHOO BOY I'm glad I stopped the animated series before finishing season 2 #i have to say the way vex sees the whole raven queen thing is SOOO refreshing #like everybody is in character so it makes sense but having someone making it seem normal vax is so nice #and not going to lie? the twins makes me a bit insane. i miss my brothers. but MY GOD they play them so well #'he's charming but both eyes open' 'idk what you're talking about' 'fuck you don't' TELL HER #percy all sarcastic and annoyed by everybody going all over the place and then going 'take a walk 👉👈 with me? 👉👈' YEAH ALRIGHT #he soooo fell first and she sooooo fell harder I'm sick on the stomach #the whole raven queen shire is so sweet though man he really wanted vex to see #it's probably one of the first things he ever did that was entirely for someone else #almost like he's saying 'I'll make a home for you all here. in mine.' and hes showing it to vex first of all #HE'S IN SO DEEP #you know 'you must know it was all for you' and all that.... little shits i love them so much #it's not like hes asking them to stay but ISN'T HE REALLY? Making it safe and homey for all of them? #but also just bc i just finished and i have to say. im almost thankful for the vax stabbing now... #i would be so pissed if that really was gilmore saying those things OH GOD #but yeah vox machina <3 them <3 #kelly watches cr #txt #dl #also just bc i forgot to mention: HE'S SUCH AN ARCHITECT ESQUE CHARACTER...... #the way he's obsessed with the city importance and and making it home and his tatics and planning and cleverness whatever #hes soooo nerdy and political. i love it. just wanted to point that out. #ill go back to ep 58 now excuse me

idk but the way httyd Movieverse people are talking about the live action adaptation, saying that making it is sacrificing the soul of httyd, and destroying the source material is starting to get on my nerves

because the movies literally did the same thing to the books

but now theres a big outrage because how dare they, all the while calling the movies the original and completely ignoring the books

#i know its nitpicky and petty #but good lord its annoying to me #i dont want the live action either i think itll be shit #and i definitely do not want it to be like the books like ive seen a few people say #the books shouldve been animated first #dont force the live action garbage you dont even want onto books fans #anyways im petty about the live action and i hope its a complete change up retelling of the movies #i want the movies to get exactly what they did to the books #and dont misunderstand i fuccking love the movie #but like i said im petty and tired and feeling a bit extra mean about this #dont mind my rant

absolutely incorrigible behavior in this house tonight <- watching the voltron german dub and enjoying it

#if me from 10 years ago could see me now she'd be so confused #all she knew of german dubs was that they turned benjamin coddersnatchs voice into a normalman tenor in sherlock #but also... voltron... whew its bringing back memories #the english dub... its Such a kids show oh my god how did we ever think it was going to go where we thought it would #the animation does slay though. when the characters move it slays #the german dub sort of smooths out the kids show vibes #it also smooths out keith which is really funny #og keith is so like. im punk. im gruff. im voiced by steven yeun. meanwhile german keith is just kind of tired? #german keith has been through some shit and you can hear it. hes no longer a weirdly deepvoiced teenager hes now a weirdly worldly teenager #(and a tenor. of course. bc no german dub is complete without a complete swap of vocal range for the men) (I've honestly gotten used to it) #(highpitched sam winchester is the superior sam winchester and you can fight me on this) #already growing so attached to the german voices that the og english sounds weird to me. i am 10 minutes into the first episode #german dubs are superior!! i can't explain it!! even though the acting is so dry in comparison to the og... #idk what it is i just like how they interpret the characters #og hunk is hard to beat tho ill give him that. german hunk is good but og hunk is great #german lance is WAYYY less cocky lmao he sounds way more unsure of himself when he's delivering those bravado-ass lines #pidge is just. a woman though. it's kind of offputting #you literally cant beat bex taylor klaus at voicing pidge like. they were practically Made for the role #but to have just a normalvoice woman voice pidge is so odd #anyway the translation is also great. lance calls hunk a genius giantfart (genialer riesenfurz) instead of a gassy genius #instead of 'well‚ congratulations'‚ keith tells lance 'welp‚ congrats‚ dude' (Tja‚ Glückwunsch‚ man) #at hearing he got his place in the pilot class #which is such a small change but im obsessed with it #anyway. back to the incorrigible behavior #voltron #junos

i dont like trigger lists either but fakeclaiming is not a good look. idk what you do or dont have mentally but that doesnt give you the authority to decide someone is faking DID or theyre "endo" over a discord server, you have never met them. you dont know them at all. online spaces have a higher concentration of minorities, especially if they make themselves explicitly open to them. but hey, you can always join that one stridercest-centered server that bans all kinnies, fictives, or ANYONE with DID under the same bracket.

i thought hey, you just followed me and maybe itd be cool to invite you to the server i mod for, but if youre going to be secretly hating a huge chunk of the userbase for an assumption you hold, i dont think i want you following me at all. complain abt rp users all you like but that does not reasonably extend to claiming that everyone is lying about their illness.

Yeah I briefly considered messaging you for the link but then realized I wanted nothing to do with it when I saw all the qualifiers. I want to find an adult space where no one is expected to tiptoe around obvious bullshit.

As for your lecture about fake claiming, I promise you I don't give a single shit. "Endos" are not consistent with the clinical presentation of DID. And if I'm a bad guy for saying it then oh well, lmao. Neither is the way any of these self-obsessed roleplayers who claim they aren't role-playing and it's actually "alters" or "headmates". If you want to pretend to have a disorder you should probably know what it looks like to have that disorder rather than role-playing a version that got popularized on tumblr and tiktok. If you don't want me following you, feel free to block me. I don't give a shit about that either. I'm not apologizing for saying that words mean things and you can't claim to have a disorder and then clearly have no idea how to fake it. It's embarrassing that it has become so accepted when this shit is so obviously fake. People can say and claim whatever they want on the internet but that doesn't mean no one is allowed to question or doubt those claims. How did we get from "appropriating labels and experiences that you do not have is bad" to "if you don't agree that this 19 year old has 100+ anime introjects then you're evil actually". That's what I wanna know.

Anyway, I would've behaved just fine in your server because I keep those sorts of thoughts to myself outside of spaces like this, but you're right. I probably would find a bunch of people claiming that they are LITERALLY DIRK STRIDER to be pretty fucking annoying.

If anyone knows how to find more info on the stridercest server let me know though. It sounds dope.

#i have cancer which means that xyz #ask #i knew someone would lecture me about being mean to people who roleplay serious disorders they dont have #like i cant claim i have fucking cancer if i have none of the symptoms but this is somehow different #and i cant say if xyz are not actually the symptoms of cancer #do people not see how harmful this shit is or are they ok with it because its fun to collect anime characters or something #i remember the days when kinning was fucking dumb but honest to god can we please go back #if all these DID liars would just kin shit again itd be slightly more tolerable #stridercest #profic #pro fic #pro fiction #antiship #antific #pro ship #proship #that first tag is supposed to go within the 5th one #where it says i cant say blank #but im too lazy to fix #the point is i cant say i have a disorder and then redefine that disorder to suit my definition so i can keep playing pretend

Today on “uploading stuff I didnt previously upload because I wanted to finish it later but then I never did”.

Heres a animation I did of Alessi way back I did, basically just to see how long it would take. It took 4 days and I got really depressed about it for some reason.

#My animation #Alessi Lenkov #Ambulance Chaser #It wouldve taken 3 but I fucked up and drew Alessi very very tiny at first #with the idea that I could just size them up and it'd look fine. and then they did not look fine. #So I had to redo every frame. #Also its unfinished because I wanted to add a background but they kept turning out like shit and Im bad at blender. #So. Its fine

[istherewifiinhell]

if ur wondering how the post work 87 turtles binges go its basically a guarantee at some point late enough we'll hit a real dud with some fucked up opener (usually with aliens, dont know why), and even thought youd think youd be able to last the 22 minutes to see it to the end and then wrap up the night, every time the middle details get hazier and hazier an oh someone made a joke whats happening... oh the final fight piece... oh the end of the episode button.... cue theme music. and then the spell is broken you can get up and decide to go to bed like a big adult with a fucked up back.

#some shit #turbles... #some fucking uhhhh. it was a gremlins parody.... #listen season three is looooooong. #and they ran the fuck outta money. animation SHOT. but i think theres gonna be a 3 part ender lol... #but thats... for tommorrow we just couldnt do it lol. #its no wonder this show had the cultural effect it did tho it is quite litterally mesmerizing even when its also. brain melting #but we should be able to get to the first movie too. so woo. gonna find out what the fuck they do to my boy raph

i will not panic abt my exams

#it will be fine actually #I’m stressed bc they’re in. a month now like a month from today and I’ll be done #but that just means I have a whole month to be making notes I can do a lot in a month #I’m going home on Friday which is stressing me out but it’s just one week I’ll go Friday and leave Saturday/Sunday #and if I can do a handful of lectures while I’m at home that’ll be a useful step no matter what #i can probably focus on like molecular ones which are easier to structure bc I just need to pull out the mechanisms #tomorrow I just gotta read up on two topics really and then I can write the dumb mock exam which I won’t be able to do at home bc its 4 hour #I hate that we have to do that especially bc it’s got shit evil questions but whatever #and I can’t feel bad abt being slow to get back into this bc im an animal with a body and it takes a while to get back into Anything #and I’m worried abt the exam yes bc of how it went last year when I was unprepared but 1) I won’t be THAT degree of unprepared this year #2) it is unlikely that i get as insanely unlucky as I did last year #fucking hell I just. don’t think I’m made for this kinda system I can’t make myself work in it #every single term of my degree so far I’ve been fighting to keep up with everything and had no time to properly prepare for the exams #and then scraped it by working off a baseline level of being good at putting ideas together quickly and strategically working last minute #on whatever will give me the best shot at getting what I need but that’s not possible in these two exams bc I have over 100 lectures to know #I can’t do 100 lectures in a month. it’s just not possible but what I can probably do is summarise some important bits for like half of them #I think I’m bad at the whole sustained effort on a big task over a long period of time #bc this is so huge that there’s no way for me to see progress or move on to anything new bc it’s just. a stack of 100 lectures to deal with #I HOPE I’m better at dealing with project next year bc i think it’ll be more task based #and like I can watch the lectures the first time round bc there’s a set thing to do and an end point #I have genuinely no idea how to approach this in a way that will be useful achievable AND get enough done within the time I have #anyway I can’t stress abt it now bc I have to go to the shop and then home to cook. so #AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA #luke.txt
