I thought the ending was good, and the concept itself was good. But I just couldn’t get past the dude and his wife’s dynamic lol it took me out of it. I think it also moved a little slower than I wanted

this makes me believe the vampire club owner theory. love the idea of louis starting a vamp bar venture as a way to connect to this facet of himself he’s started to accept, and also make money off a clientele that largely has infinite funds lmao. (socialist j look away…..)

sinister (2012)

some decent jumpscares in this but they lost me pretty early on with the idea that this dude’s wife never ONCE looked up their new address to find it was the site of a multiple homicide …… bffr

that's very possible. i think both lestat and louis are gonna go to extremes this season that jacob and sam perhaps didn't predict they'd go, but my understanding is much like in the past, the narrative payoff will be worth it

agreed and jacob said essentially the same thing!!! i think with a show with so many heavy emotional beats it's to be expected!

i'm so happy for them

and what they make abundantly clear also is that they don't take issue with the fanfic or the fandom or whatever. it's the invasion of privacy with something soooo personal, especially for queer public figures. anyway. i was a very casual viewer of their stuff back in the day and this is super cool!

honestly, i'm so happy for them. and this is so important for them to bring up now, with how much more toxic fandom has gotten in recent years. like we all joke rpf yadda yadda but we gotta remember boundaries and that breaching those boundaries has real-life consequences.

if i take a twitter break to focus on this shit after work i can probably get it uploaded and i'd rather contribute something positive than make myself sick over the catastrophizing

my therapist said two gr8 things today as someone who is generally befuddled by fandom culture but trying her best:

"loving a character isn't necessarily an endorsement of their actions but an appreciation for how a story is being told"

and

"understanding complexity is not a moral failing"
