[gripping the sink] perfectionism does not help me avoid embarrassment or shame. perfectionism is in itself a form of shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame. when i struggle with perfectionism i struggle with shame

One is causing bodily harm, I'd imagine. The other is murder. Like, prison time vs execution?

It's an interesting question!

Also, Time Lords must live such long (and "important") lives that killing someone is sacrilegious. Against all rules and common sense. Big letter B Bad! But causing a regeneration? - whatever, they'll live lol

Something I wonder about is how time lords view killing someone vs triggering a regeneration, because like it’s still death, but a death you recover from. What are the differences in laws surrounding those situations, what about the social implications

@leelarots I'm so glad you like it!! And yes, she looks just like that cat

drawing @leelarots 's Millennia and Koschei gossiping

— But you can't tell anyone! 👈

— Uh-uh.

Millennia is the star here, I love how she turned out so much. Koschei's proportions are weird but I gave him funny socks to distract from that.

Drawing background was very fun. But I was a bit lazy and now he has gallifreyan calligraphy poetry posters. And Phantom of the Opera poster, that's also important.

Did not imagine them to be very close before drawing that but now I believe it.

millennia (bursts into tears)

I fucked up proportions so bad that Koschei is desintegrating into the page

saw a post (i don't know who op is sorry!!) about how armand calls daniel a black hole while being the most black hole-coded character in existence and i can’t stop thinking about it because YES. everyone latches onto the innuendo of “not much more to you than a hole” (and sure, it’s iconic i love some devils minion), but armand being a literal black hole metaphor across the vampire chronicles is so intense and weirdly consistent that it stops being subtle and starts feeling like a cosmic joke

lestat in tvl straight up talks about armand pulling him into his orbit. like, not metaphorically—he literally describes being caught in armand’s gravitational pull, like he’s circling something ancient and destructive and beautiful and terrifying. he feels like armand wants to consume him, strip him down to nothing. that's not just magnetic energy. that's black hole behavior

then in iwtv, louis tells armand (in the most devastating breakup scene ever) that being with him drained all the life out of him. that he was interesting because he was different, but armand pulled him in and now he’s empty too. literally tells him he made him just like him. that’s the event horizon! you cross the threshold and there’s no going back!

qotd really hammers it home—daniel talks about how armand has this bizarre magnetic pull that draws people in. it’s not even intentional. he just exists and people fall into him. and by being with him, daniel starts getting drained too. again. same cycle. same gravity well. armand doesn’t even mean to destroy people—he just does, because that’s what he is

and the creepiest part is how often older men project their obsession onto him. “i don’t know what it is about you, armand, you’re just so... captivating.” like okay. maybe take a moment and examine your own weird fixation before blaming the literal 17-year-old-looking vampire. but no. it’s always framed like armand has some unnatural power when really they’re just falling into their own desire and blaming the gravity on him

oh and let’s talk about how he hunts. armand doesn’t chase. he doesn’t go looking. he just hangs out in public being beautiful and unreadable and lets people come to him. and they always do. they throw themselves at him. it’s terrifying when you realize he doesn’t need to do anything except exist and wait for people to offer themselves up

so yeah. the line is a banger. it’s brutal. it’s layered. but it’s also projection in real time. armand isn’t talking about a black hole—he is the black hole. he pulls people in, drains them dry, and leaves them hollow. the vampire chronicles don’t even try to be subtle about it. and i love that for him. horrifying little cosmic void of a man

Amadeo uses Emotional Manipulation. It is not effective.

(but only on this specific topic)

Amadeo is thinking, "Having fun with a new friend :)"

Koschei is thinking, "I'M GOING TO DIE!" (he suggested the sword fight in the first place)
