......suddenly struck by the idea for a piece of worldbuilding of "fae don't like iron bc it is the most stable element*"

*as in elements higher you can extract energy via fission and lower you can extract energy via fusion but iron itself there is no excess binding energy to extract at all

pirates of the caribbean really introduced an eldritch octopus man who kills indiscriminately and torments the dead as their poster villain and then you watch the movies and it's like, "oh no, actually the worst villain in this series is a small white british man who functions as the herald of capitalism" and that was very very brave of them

I’ve been thinking about this book that amc-Daniel wrote about the growing AIDS crisis. The back blurb says it was first published as a running series on Kaposi Sarcoma during the very beginning of the AIDS epidemic, which was before it was even called AIDS. Which means Daniel would have been in his late-20s at the time when writing about it (circa 1981). 

This means that Daniel was writing a running series for some newspaper (or maybe multiple papers) about this illness that seemed to be infecting only gay men (which is what was thought about the disease at the time - the original name for AIDS was GRID: “gay-related immune deficiency.”) Given how Daniel frequented gay bars, plus lived in both San Fransisco and New York, he might have even known a person or two who contracted it.  

If Devil’s Minion did happen in the past (and the hints even from the showrunners and cast is that it did), and it happened for the same length of time that it did in the books, then that also means Daniel was still writing, and was specifically writing a lot about this topic, even when he was entangled with Armand (and possibly Louis as well too in the show’s version of it).

the absence of god by thisisthefamilybusiness [wip]

It’s such a nice daydream. To imagine that this house could have been someplace beautiful, somewhere they chose to be. To imagine that they had a real, happy, human life together—were partners, were even parents together maybe, were in love. To imagine that they had the lives that rightfully should have been theirs.

Backroads to Sonoma by burntcrimson

The night sky is an endless, decadent blue-black, and here, where the only lights are the little bulbs that dot the orchards, and the far off-windows of vineyard mansions, sprawling pseudo-rustic villas, the stars twinkle in the thousands. There’s a plane up there too, tiny lights flashing white and red. It’s heading south, maybe on its way down to LAX. Families and movie stars. All those people, all those lives. He’s always been interested in what other people are doing, but has felt apart as long as he can remember. It’s been a perpetual point of confusion, an unplaced resentment, an un-healable wound. He’s at peace with it now. It doesn’t matter anymore.

If You Have Ghosts. by sunshineramblings

“Oh! I’m Daniel, by the way. Molloy. I, uh –“ “How can you stand it?” Armand interjects softly, putting his free hand out to shake. “Being named Daniel?” He softly laughs and the laugh feels fake, it feels forced. “The quiet. Haven’t you noticed how you and I are the only people here? Isn’t that strange to you, Daniel?”

univision wishes it had this many plot twists by thisisthefamilybusiness

He wouldn’t have pegged Armand for a wicked stepmother type, but he also wouldn’t have pegged Armand for the type to marry the ex-husband of his ex-boyfriend who was originally his theatre’s financial backer. Or the millionaire-via-sexual-harassment-lawsuit-settlement-from-a-college-professor thing. Or the seminarian-setting-the-college-professor’s-house-on-fire thing. There’s shit on Univision that wishes it had this many plot twists.

My favourite underrated thing about Louis de Point du Lac is that he truly is the least curious vampire to ever be made and he does not give fuck about vampires despite being one.

Its Claudia who goes to libraries, reads the folklore, tries to learn as much as she can and pushes Lestat for answers about who made him and where the others are. Claudia says Vampire Pride and Louis says hmmm Vampire Tolerance.

And Louis...truly does not care about vampire history,law, culture. He's never even thought to ask. There are vampire laws?...ok...Lestat never cared about them and he's not going to either, lol. He's broken a few and he will continue to do so. Oh you have a coven? he's not gonna join it, he's gonna do his own thing. but good for you good for you.

the 500+ year old Coven Leader, he's gonna call Louis, Maitre, actually.

He has fire powers? thats kinda cool. he'll learn that but only cause it lets him vent his feelings about Lestat.

Lestat and Armand say the name of the vampire queen in front of him and Lestat straight up says, "Louis has no idea who that is" and do you think Louis cares, outside of the fact that for some reason it means he can't kill Lestat? No! Do you think in the 77 years he's been with Armand he ever took 5 minutes to ask a follow up question? No!

Do you think he will care about Akasha in season 3? Doubt it! Outside of her obsession with Lestat, who is the only person left on the planet he seems to be able to filter Caring About This Shit through

He blatantly breaks the 3rd law and publishes a book about being a vampire and when the other vampires get pissed not only does he not apologise he literally sends them his location and says 'you wanna fight? lmao don't miss'

I love him. Daniel Molloy is gonna need to bring his A game because Louis will not be solving a single mystery next season, nor would it even occur to him to try.

Hello my gorgeous writers, artists and general content creators! We’ll be hosting an It Chapter 2 week to celebrate the release of the new movie!

The event will run from the 30th of August till the 5th of September. For each day you can choose from two prompts and post any sort of content (moodboards, headcanons, fics, playlists, artwork etc) as long as it relates back to It in someway.

We’re fine with ALL content as long as it has been tagged appropriately AND all possible trigger warnings are listed PRIOR to the content.

On the day, just use the tag #itchapter2week or mention this blog in your post (@itchapter2week) and we’ll reblog your content.

The Prompts are:

AUGUST 30th, Day One

Superhero

Are your faves now a crime fighting team? Is half your OTP actually an evil villain? Do they have a secret identity?

Or

Workplace

Is there a workplace romance? Or are they rival businesses? Does someone have a hot boss? Or are they all employed by the same sadistic asshole? Doesn’t this barista is just too cute to be true? And who said being a teacher is an easy job?

AUGUST 31st, Day Two

Mobster

Guns, violence, sex, politics where do your characters end up? Is there a forbidden romance between the police chief and the city’s kingpin? Does the head of the mafia need a new assassin?

Or

Jealous

Does someone need a friend to pretend to be their lover to make their crush jealous? Does a partner get hit on one too many times? Is someone a little too clingy and raising all the red flags in a relationship? Does somebody always get everything they want? Is just too talented for their own good?

SEPTEMBER 1st, Day Three

Fairy Tale

Once upon a time… from palaces to ginger bread houses, from paupers to princes to beasts. Do your characters live happily ever after?

Or

Secret

Shhhhh…someone has a secret. Is it something to do with their childhood? Are they in a secret relationship? Or are they secretly married to a crazy woman who is locked in their attic? What exactly is in their attic then?

SEPTEMBER 2nd, Day Four

Mythology

From the heroics of Hercules, to the horrors of Cthulhu, will your characters fall in love, lose their love or go on the next great big adventure?

Or

Road Trip

Whether it be by planes, trains or automobiles where are you characters gonna go? What will they explore? What will they find out about themselves?

SEPTEMBER 3rd, Day Five

Domestic

Ahhh domestic bliss, how have the characters ended up? Would it be 100% fluff or does something happen to shake up their normally peaceful lives?

Or

Famous

Are your characters famous rock stars? Actors? Authors? How do they deal with the price of fame? Are they forced together? Do they pretend to hate each other?

SEPTEMBER 4th, Day Six

Time Travel

Do they go back in time? Forward in time? Can the glimpse the future? Can they change the past? 

Or

College

From fraternities to finals, how do your faves deal with college life? Are they students or are they professors? Are they teammates or are they rivals?

September 5th, Day Seven

Harry Potter

Alohomora. Unlock your imagination and have your character live in a world of magic, dark lords and kind werewolves. Are they studying at hogwarts or perhaps teaching? Are they fighting crimes or causing mischief?

Or

Stranger Things

Welcome to the Upside Down where your faves can fight demigorgons, become friends with a telekinetic young girl or even end up as a lab experiment with special powers. Are Richie and Mike twins or are they cousins? Are all the adults useless or does Hopper and Joyce help save the day?

There are infinite possibilities! Best of luck!
