Of course he watches Buffy. With the whole "I can't let my parents know I sneak out to save the world every night" thing he's probably constantly going "she's just like me for real 😭"

correct me if i'm wrong but don't the actors have to completely shave before putting on modesty garments? so unless the network is allowing frontal nudity, the actors would have to wear protective underwear for all their nude scenes so i think that could be a technical explanations for why we don't see lestat's pubic hair. i don't think that amc is even allowed to show pubic hair on screen?

it's possible that they'll connect it with magnus, but for me the fact that lestat has hairless chest but still visible leg and armpit hair, unlike book marius who was completely waxed, and that sam also shaved for the newsreader means that it's likely just sam conforming to the current beauty standards for men. there's a lot pressure for leading actors to have waxed chest and abs. and yes louis has chest hair but he's also not a physical character in a way that lestat is, if that makes sense? i'm not even talking about the pressure from the network, but internal pressure from actors themselves, like sam would want lestat to look sexy by today's modern standards. for me, it's kinda in the same category as women in historical movies having no body hair, you just have to suspend your disbelief to enjoy it.

No, they don’t have to completely shave at all, anon. In fact, they might not even have to shave at all period.

Broadly speaking, there are two types of modesty garment’s for men - a modesty pouch/cock sock, which is often secured with a drawstring or bit of elastic, and often doesn’t require taping at all (although depending on the amount of movement and the actor’s comfort levels, they might tape for security). These are used more for general nudity, and not sex scenes - in other words, when there's no risk of another actor touching the nude actor below the waist i.e. I'd imagine Sam would have worn one when he's in bed at Antoinette's before they move to the intimate scene, and they're generally a bit more comfortable than the next one. They look something like this:

The other type is an invisible thong, which is generally strapless and usually padded a bit like a jock strap (although can actually even have a hard cover to them, which are used when a character's going to have their genitals grabbed, as it ensures the actor won't feel anything when the other actor does it). These give the actor both privacy and protection particularly in scenes where they’re being very intimate and there’s the possibility of genital contact (i.e I’d imagine both Sam and Jacob were wearing these in 1.01, and that Sam definitely was during the stabbing/biting scene in 1.06 given Jacob’s pressed fully against him - he may even have been wearing a hard one). There are a few different types, but they generally look like this:

These do require the use of skin tape, but that doesn’t mean shaving these days. You mostly just have to be clean and dry, but you might be asked to trim or shave a little if you’re particularly bushy (or even be trimmed or shaved - my sister's had to give a few actors a bit of a tidy up before, but this is more due to particular anatomies [way more information than you require, haha, but she always says dick size doesn't really matter with these, but large testicles can be a giant issue costume-wise when it comes to modesty garments, and in those cases, they usually have to have men shave more around them to use a stronger tape - in one case, I remember her telling me they actually had to cut the tail off and sew two patches together and then just fully tape it up the actor’s ass, which was a bit of a nightmare, but the actor took it in good humour at least])

I'd imagine you’re right about the no visible pubic hair ratings restrictions, but I’d also argue there are ways to have it be implicit (like with a happy trail, or general body hair, as with Louis and Armand), but with Lestat being SO hairless, and them lowkey having emphasised it at various points (like in 1.06), it does kind of make that hard. It probably doesn’t help that he’s so blond too that his hair just flat out isn’t as visible.

And yeah, I think you’re probably right that a part of it is just Sam (although he does have chest hair in other roles like in The Hunting and Limehouse Golem), but this is sort of where the Venn diagram comes in of choices Sam makes for himself, choices the show makes about Lestat, and, of course, choices Sam makes about himself-as-Lestat too, and it does become a bit of a tricky area to navigate (like I’ve talked about it on here before, but I think the talk of Sam’s mouth scar being used artistically on the show in the way some people want I.e that Lestat gets it during the wolf killing episode or during his turning is potentially pretty complicated).

Anyway, putting his body hair aside, I actually do think they’ll have to have an answer as to why Lestat doesn’t have a beard with Magnus keeping him for a week, especially if he keeps him drunk and trapped without any necessities like he does in the book. Grooming IS a part of Magnus turning Lestat too, given he chooses him for his looks and picks his clothes, effectively dressing him for his first nights as a vampire, so I don’t know! This is all to say that I don’t disagree with you, but I also don’t think it’s a silly thing to be speculating on / curious about at all either.

"Almost done moving all our books" I claim, but over my shoulder you can see probably two entire shelves and a scattering of Loose Floor Books (TM).

Hello! I just want to say thank you for serving the Aoikane nation! I appreciate all the in-depth analysis you made for this ship considering that almost all of the TBHK fandom looks down on the ship because it's "toxic" and they're not good enough for each other. It's so nice and refreshing to see someone who view the ship in a more positive light! Thank you!

It’s my pleasure, Anon! Their flaws only make their love more endearing to me, and if no one will talk about it you bet I'll be here ready to go insane over them!

Moving into the South Downs cottage like:

That pile is three rows deep and stacked four boxes high in the middle. There's 59 (if you were trying to count them). Plus the two more that I found after I took this photo. 😅

Things I don't expect to find in a thriftstore: apple box labels. Uncertain whether this one was still glued to its apple box or glued to a prettier piece of wood (seems likely due to the seemingly stained wood), but it wasn't decoupaged on.

I prefer framing them, personally.

Reasons I can't stand "You can do it!" in response to my recounting my woes:

It implies that the person thinks your only significant obstacle is insecurity.

It indicates that the person does not think you are a competent judge of your own abilities.

It indicates that the person is not interested in learning more about your situation.

It indicates that the person is not interested in helping you.

It discourages you from making a realistic assessment of your situation, looking for help, finding ways to make the situation less difficult, or finding ways to mitigate the consequences of not actually being able to "do it!"

It discourages you from making a realistic assessment of your capacities, instead trying to meet other people's expectations and potentially burning yourself out because your capacities are not in fact that other people ignorantly assume they are.

It is often based on ignorant assumptions about what they think you're able to do or what the situation entails.

It seems to imply that this person's confidence in me should somehow make the situation easier? Or cause me to "believe in myself"? Or that positive thinking will make the situation go away? Honestly I don't understand what people think it's supposed to achieve, and I doubt the people saying it do either.

It feels to me like a knee-jerk response to the discomfort of encountering negativity. It often has no meaning beyond "I can't handle the fact that negativity is in my presence and I must make it go away right now by denying its existence."

Now, sometimes the person saying this is actually a good friend who actually does know all the details of the situation and actually does know exactly what I am and am not capable of, and they're genuinely saying it because they want me to feel better, and this is mystifying to me. How do they think my knowing that they believe in my ability is going to help?

Like, if I genuinely don't think I can do something, how is it helpful to tell me that they disagree with my assessment? If I'm wondering or worrying about whether I can do something, telling me that I can is actively harmful, because it discourages me from taking steps to improve the situation. And if I'm just telling someone about a shitty situation I find myself in, but not actually expressing doubt in my ability to deal with it, how is "You can do it" helpful? I know I can do it! That's not the issue here!

Me, who has already seen Final Destination and knows exactly what's going to happen: dude you'll be fine, plans are actually a relatively very safe mode of transportation, let's just do some breathing exercises okay?

OCD is pretty common among autistic people, and many of us who dont have full-on OCD may experience some things that can be kinda similar to some aspects of it. I'm on the spectrum myself and i also have this issue of basically getting stuck on some thoughts. It sucks, sometimes it's something that makes me angry but doesnt actually matter that much in the grand acheme of things and i just end up in a bad mood over something stupid and cant stop thinking abt it for a few days even though there are no new thoughts about it, i just keep going through old ones again and again and again. I dont know if there's a term for it, but hey, at least I'm not the only one, and neither are you. Generally i just look for distractions and wait until the thoughts get less obsessive and annoying

That makes sense, thanks!

[strawberriesinmoominvalley]

anyway i think we as people need to become more comfortable with others identifying in conflicting ways. or just having any mildly conflicting traits. it is implicit in the nature of us as humans.

my actions are significant because they impact others. my actions are insignificant because we live in a massive universe where i don't matter. if human life in itself resides within being simultaneously significant/insignificant then it's no surprise we contain multitudes
