The Mirror Crack'd (1980)
"Lola, dear, you know, there are really only two things I dislike about you."
"Really? What are they?"
"Your face."

Watching iwtv and expecting to associate Kol with either Armand or Lestat (loves of my life) when in fact, he’s Daniel Molloy (also love of my life)

If my sky kid were released upon the ancestors full force I think they’d be a public enemy and wildly known as
“DONT LET THAT ONE IN-“
Why?
Well where do I start—

All Passion Spent: Episode 2 (1.2, BBC, 1986)
"You really must not speak as though my life has been a tragedy. I had everything that most women would envy; I had position, comfort, children, and a husband I loved. Truly loved, Mr. Fitzgeorge. I had nothing to complain of."
"Except that you were defrauded of the one thing that mattered, face it, Lady Slane: your children, your husband, your splendour... were nothing but obstacles that kept you from yourself. Perhaps you were too young to know any better, but when you chose that life, you know, you sinned against the light."
"You're right, of course."
"Course I'm right, old Fitz may be a comic figure, but he retains some sense of values."
"Don't scold me any more, Mr. Fitzgeorge. I assure you that if I did wrong, I paid for it. But you must not blame my husband."
"Oh, I don't. According to his lights, he gave you everything you could desire. He merely killed you, that's all. Men do kill women, and most women enjoy being killed - so I am told."

Virginia Woolf was apparently no great admirer of Vita's literary#efforts and it's not hard to see why; there is a gulf in style between the cerebral‚ postmodern work Woolf was producing and this rather#cozy and sweet comedy of manners with a light moral touch. but it is very charming and i do find myself enjoying my time spent with this#story. quite a sweet thing all told

Thinking about how Trent ran into the Nein so early in the campaign and took a particular interest in Yasha after reading her mind.
How it’s only by sheer luck he didn’t meet Mollymauk instead. How it would be so easy to look into his lost memories and see that this colorful, happy little tiefling was the one who used to bring back powerful arcane relics for Vess—
Could you imagine the look on Caleb's face if he saw Trent refer to Molly as one of Vess' underlings? Someone foolish enough to cross a member of the Cerberus Assembly--someone who should still be dead and buried--
Anyway, what if animated Nein hinted at Molly's past being tied up in the Cerberus Assembly somehow, if we get just a glimpse of that--
