how I see it is that barely anything that happens in this show would make sense irl. and I love it for that

i found it strange that will and hannibal became abi’s foster dads. realistically, they should have gotten an actual guardian who’s more professionally quipped for that. not some fbi dude and a random psychiatrist he just met??

Comment if you have other thoughts.

(Honestly i agree in alot of ways, like isn’t there protocols for this? But it’s Hannibal we know how he doesn’t follow protocols)

Louis’ rebirth into vampirism is so tragic from both perspectives and I’m so glad to see more and more takes that are holding space for each of them.

From Louis’ perspective, he’s a black creole man who’s experienced a barrage of constant trauma and shame for years. He’s wrestling with his queerness, his raised religion, his family, and his mental health. He’s the most vulnerable he’s probably ever been and Lestat chooses that moment, when he’s drunk and all of that shit is crashing down on him, to offer him vampirism?

And he does it in such a terrifying way. He’s right to feel hunted. He’s right to feel like Lestat took his life. Regardless of Lestat’s intentions, Louis’ right to feel however the fuck he wants about it, because it’s traumatic, no matter how you spin it.

And then you have Lestat, who’s deeply traumatized himself, and acting out of fear and desperation. He’s been courting Louis for months, silently observing his thoughts, knowing all of the aforementioned shit and watching it crush Louis in real time.

Like y’all, his boyfriend just got drunk, had a mental breakdown, lost his entire support system, and now he wants to kill himself. Lestat’s freaking the fuck out. It’s happening again. What happened to Nicki is happening again. Are these the circumstances under which Lestat should have offered Louis vampirism? Definitely not, but he’s not exactly known for his incredible planning skills, and he’s triggered himself. So he does the only thing his impulsive, unwell, and possibly possessed self can think to do.

And there’s still something beautiful happening here, because as fucked up as it is, Lestat is trying to save Louis’ life, and Louis lets him.

Lestat is ultimately wrong. Louis’ not ready to become a vampire. But that doesn’t mean there wasn’t love between them in that moment. That’s kind of what makes the episode hit for me. And we don’t have to invalidate either of their experiences to get there.

How does the ancient wisdom textpost go? “I do love when two very fucked up people are in very fucked up love with each other.” Isn’t there a sliver of hope in that?

Having the Mechanisms in my normal mix is so funny because I just had this:

daniel, my beloved! wake up. wake up! i have discovered a television series about vampires. it is called "what we do in the shadows". daniel, it is a disgrace. it presents vampiric existence as something comedic. the fictional vampires can be killed with stakes and holy water by mere humans calling themselves "vampire slayers". they reveal their natures to mortals and take them as slaves. they- yes, daniel, i know louis and i had human servants in dubai but that is different. they all signed NDAs. daniel- daniel do not go back to sleep! there is an episode set in the theatre des vampires. they parodied my theatre company! it is an insult! daniel. daniel, my love, get up, we have to watch the film.

Save my little Celine🥺💔

I'm Heba, I have three children, Lulu, Ismail, and Celine, my youngest daughter Please give me a minute of your time to tell you what is happening to this innocent 3-year-old girl and how she suffers and is unable to bear all this pain and suffering under bad circumstances. One day I woke up to the sound of my little Celine moaning, who was suffering from a high temperature, heart pain, and abnormal hallucinations.

We called the ambulance. The bombing was continuing, and there was also no transportation. It came after waiting half an hour of anxiety and we quickly went to Al-Aqsa Hospital. I was hoping to receive the appropriate treatment, but the war destroyed everything and destroyed the health system. We thought she had died The doctor immediately conducted some quick tests to discover that her blood had fallen to a dangerous level, with only a small portion of blood remaining in her veins. She was given an immediate blood transfusion.

But the real disaster was when they tried to conduct analyzes to find out the reason behind this sudden decline. We learned that all laboratory equipment was destroyed due to the war and is not available under these circumstances and must be transferred abroad to carry out the necessary analyzes and medical procedures.😭

I only ask you to donate and stand by us to save my little Celine from this suffering and receive appropriate treatment immediately and before it is too late.🙏🏻😭💔

Help Doaa Jad al-Haq and her family survive genocide!

Doaa is a 38 mother to a young son, Omar, who is nonverbal and autistic and needs special treatment to deal with his intense trauma from the genocide. Doaa says Omar sometimes screams when he remembers the bombs. She does not have the funds to cover his treatment on her own.

Doaa ran a sewing and embroidery business prior to the genocide and is currently raising funds to buy equipment to start it again. The goal for this campaign is only $12000 USD and if she meets it she will have the tools to earn money herself.

Doaa and Omar evacuated Gaza and now live in Egypt, but the entire rest of their family is stuck under siege and constant bombardment. She is incredibly worried about them. Again, she does not have the funds to evacuate them herself so we must help her. Doaa is also worried that her tumblr account will get terminated because she's Palestinian. Under this much stress, I can imagine it is impossible to consistently campaign to raise money.

Doaa's sister is Aseel @aseel680 who I have posted about before on this blog. @magnus-rhymes-with-swagness keeps in touch and frequently posts about her. Here is a post with a list of all the gofundmes that have been opened for this family.

Here is Doaa's business fund

Here is Doaa's survival fund

She is vetted.

Note: Doaa's survival fund uses Swedish krona. Take note of the currency exchange. Do not pride yourself on donating pennies.

$5 USD = kr52 SEK

$10 USD = kr104 SEK

Dear humanity, my supportive friends

🚨Trapped Family in Gaza Appeals for Help to Survive

Hello, I am Baraa elshaer My husband and I lost our home and were displaced several times. We have nothing left, even our dream of having a child did not come true because of this war. We have been trying to do that for 7 years, but God did not decree it for us.We were displaced 8 times from one place to another under the bombing and we escaped death several times with God's protection.

On top of that, I have an allergy that causes swelling in my face and neck and rapid heartbeat, and I can't find a cure for it. It's from the pollution and the insect bites that are in the tents.

So please help me by donating, sharing or re-sharing.🙏🙏😔💔Your donation is not just a donation; it's an opportunity to rebuild life and brighten a better tomorrow.

Best wishes:

Bara abed

Hello,👋

I'm Abdelrahman, 22 years old. My journey has been marked by loss and resilience. When I was 18, my father passed away from COVID-19. Determined to build my own future, I pursued an education in multimedia technology, balancing my studies with work to cover my expenses. I was preparing to establish my home and life.

A few days later, I was hit by a missile in this previously destroyed house

However, the war in Gaza, especially in the north, brought devastating tragedy. My home, university, job, and family were all destroyed in the conflict. While my family moved to the south, I was in the north, facing famine and moving from place to place, trying to survive.

Our street used to be lively and full of people, but it is no longer like that.

I have witnessed countless difficult and painful scenes while escaping death multiple times. In northern Gaza, life is reduced to a cycle of fleeing from danger and searching for food amidst the rubble of destroyed homes.

Our house that sheltered my entire family

Now, my dream is to travel abroad with my mother and sister to continue my education and develop my practical skills. For the past eight months, I have been unemployed, focusing on self-improvement and hoping for a better future.

My mother: the princess whom we strive to make happy and satisfy. ❤️️

This is where your kindness and generosity can make a profound difference. Your support will help me rebuild my life and continue my education. It will provide us with the opportunity to escape the cycle of danger and destruction, and to work towards a future filled with promise and potential.

I am humbly asking for your help in raising funds to cover the costs of travel, education, and basic living expenses as we strive to start anew. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us one step closer to safety, stability, and success.

With deepest gratitude,

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for considering my plea. Your support means more than words can express. Together, we can turn a story of loss into a journey of hope and resilience.

With deepest gratitude,

Abdelrahman
