tuesday hack: give head, get fucked, drink negronis.

I find armand's accent very interesting. like, he sounds english in the modern portions of s2, but like... acquired french in the flashbacks. in tvl, lestat's version, he sounds much more french, which makes sense, but also is he downplaying the french with louis to distance himself from paris.

that's a huge chunk of the decemberists' discography

Name a song where someone dies/is murdered.

The thing about someone ‘improperly receiving benefits’ is I don’t care. Oh no did someone get food or health care? Good!

I would like to thank amc for giving me the perfect final clip for the armand vid I've been noodling in my brain

This mentions Brexit as the starting point. Until the UK reckons with the role Brexit had in enabling the far right, things like this will happen more and get much worse. I don’t know how many more times one can say this but we are *a lot* further down a very dark road than most people realise.

I am not sure that we appreciate how much hostility there is from the far right to the learning and speaking of languages. 1/2 www.thetimes.com/article/9a33...

42 years ago, Mary Manning — a 21-year-old Dublin cashier — refused to ring up South African grapefruit. She was suspended. Ten colleagues walked out with her, and their strike lasted almost three years, until Ireland became the first Western country to ban apartheid goods.

I just finished a full trilogy playthrough of mass effect and then finished me3 with the shepard I made last year and forgot about I guess?? and then yesterday I made another new mshep. oops. can you tell we going through it? also why is it so hard to make an attractive man in these games?

ria asked to borrow a pink d20 to use for the big bad of today's pick of destiny battle - I gave her the pinkest one I have (from what I call my toxic bi set) and it rolled two nat 1s on her first two attacks against us. thanks, hermes!

Better late than never: 1600 spoilery words at @popheist.com on what frightened me the most about OBSESSION, a movie about the emptiness we ignore in ourselves and perpetuate in others.

A Closed Book: 'Obsession' and the Horror of Emptiness - Pop Heist

Like many young men who view coupledom as the fulfillment of their lives, Bear is counting on Nikki to fill in the void lurking in his soul.

I genuinely think that anyone dissenting in Birthright Citizenship should be immediately stripped of their seat, no procedure or impeachment needed. It's a yes/no question of "will you follow the constitution when it's very very clear" and their answer was no

there's some songs I love that are so lestat-coded in my head but I'm gonna have to wait for the whole season to drop to see if there's enough suitable footage to vid them.

reading the vampire lestat as a closeted teenager was so important to me. lestat runs away to paris with his boyfriend and says it's not a sin to leave a place and people who force you into a shape you're not. to be who you want to be, to do what you love.

tried very hard to be diplomatic in my reply to a message from my cousin in the oft-repeated tune of "you need to drop everything in your own life to come and take care of your parents" but I fear I came across as short. but I *am* angry and I *am* upset and do not have the mental bandwidth for this

me trying to ignore the big fucked up, hard to process things going on in my own life by yelling about the vampire lestat. who is glossing over and distracting from the fucked up, hard to process things in his own past.

Poor Yorick #criticalrole

found a couple of boxes of dvds and games in the shed that belonged to the previous tenants and I'm going through them to sell them and the deeper I get in these boxes the deeper into despair I get at their awful taste in movies.

what if anticipation of next week's tvl I just lie on the floor listening to my lestat/nicki playlist and crying open.spotify.com/playlist/65n...

the upstairs neighbours take their dog out for walks so infrequently that I had a bigger reaction to hearing her say "do you want to go for a walk?" than the dog did

EMERGENCY COMMISSIONS: My friend’s funeral is on 17th June. I’ve booked my train tickets but that has pretty much depleted my funds, and I don’t get paid until the 24th. I need to put my cat into boarding for 5 days which isn’t cheap either. See below for examples of my art! ❤️

Happy Pride to this Caravaggio self-portrait that made one man so gay he had to go to the hospital

after I fully called that rashid could be armand in the first episode of iwtv and then started doubting myself, I'm sharing my gut instinct from the first episode of tvl that entyna wnzrf ng gur nhpgvba vf npghnyyl yrfgng naq jr'er nyernql va obql guvrs greevgbel.

we're playing at level 14 for pick of destiny and I got a nat20 on my first attack so I dealt 44 damage with a cantrip. you love to see it.

happy pride! i'll be reposting some of my older work this month

Known variously as Esteban de Dorantes, Esteban the Moor or – most commonly – Estevanico, this enigmatic individual was one of the first documented Africans, Arabic speakers and Muslims to step foot in what is now the United States, arriving nearly 40 years before the first European settlement.

Nearly 500 years ago, a Moroccan man walked thousands of miles from Florida to the Pacific Coast, becoming the first known outsider to see the American West.

the newest tvl song - your biggest fan - has got me in the feels again! interestingly it's giving magnus pov, which is a fascinating choice.
