enough paintings of saints where they're looking heavenward in ecstatic agony or down with love and mercy on their onlookers as they ascend. we need more paintings where the martyr is looking accusatorily directly at the viewer.

i say i like tragedies and everyone’s all like ‘why do you like sad stories? are you depressed?’ and never ‘how was the catharsis? was the catharsis fun?’

this is just my opinion but i think any good media needs obsession behind it. it needs passion, the kind of passion that's no longer "gentle scented candle" and is now "oh shit the house caught on fire". it needs a creator that's biting the floorboards and gnawing the story off their skin. creators are supposed to be wild animals. they are supposed to want to tell a story with the ferocity of eating a good stone fruit while standing over the sink. the same protective, strange instinct as being 7 and making mud potions in pink teacups: you gotta get weird with it.

good media needs unhinged, googling-at-midnight kind of energy. it needs "what kind of seams are invented on this planet" energy and "im just gonna trust the audience to roll with me about this" energy. it needs one person (at least) screaming into the void with so much drive and energy that it forces the story to be real.

sometimes people are baffled when fanfic has some stunning jaw-dropping tattoo-it-on-you lines. and i'm like - well, i don't go here, but that makes sense to me. of fucking course people who have this amount of passion are going to create something good. they moved from a place of genuine love and enjoyment.

so yeah, duh! saturday cartoons have banger lines. random street art is sometimes the most precious heart-wrenching shit you've ever seen. someone singing on tiktok ends up creating your next favorite song. youtubers are giving us 5 hours of carefully researched content. all of this is the impossible equation to latestage capitalism. like, you can't force something to be good. AI cannot make it good. no amount of focus-group testing or market research. what makes a story worth listening to is that someone cares so much about telling it - through dance, art, music, whatever it takes - that they are just a little unhinged about it.

one time my friend told me he stayed up all night researching how many ways there are to peel an orange. he wrote me a poem that made me cry on public transportation. the love came through it like pith, you know? the words all came apart in my hands. it tasted like breakfast.

What's always confused me was that… You know, he said those words to me, and he was already all burnt up. Figured I'd conflated the two events. But I didn't. Because it was you.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | 1.01 + 2.05

[dcxdpdabbles]

Sam: I just realized something

Tucker: What?

Sam: If ghosts are real....wouldn't that mean vampires, are real too?

Danny: Hey, now, don't go causing uncontrollable dread in me. I have a Spanish test tomorrow that am not prepared for and thus can not afford more dread.

Tucker: Beside, if there were vampires, wouldn't we have seen some by now?

Sam: I suppose you're right. Wait- what's that in Danny second floor window!?

Tucker: Nice try Sam. We won't fall for such a obvious-

Sam: No seriously- WHAT IS THAT!?

Batman: I have some questions for you kids.

Danny/Sam/Tucker:

Batman: Stop screaming. This is a very serious matter. What do you three know about the murder of Johnny Gray and Kitty O'Malley from Gotham, 1979?

Tucker: Oh no, it's a DETECTIVE vampire! Even if we run, he'll do a clue montage and find us!

lucanis is a 'I could sit in our quiet kitchen on a grey tuesday afternoon drinking coffee and talking with you about nothing much in particular forever and be the happiest man who ever lived' romantic, not a 'classic tropes and grand gestures' romantic. this is a distinction and conceptual gap I personally feel is crucial to understanding what's going on with him when romanced. for all his almost painful sincerity and clear depth of feeling he's not a very effusive guy by nature, but in the history of time no one has ever, with their whole soul, chest and being, been so genuinely and openly happy to just do laundry and taxes with you.
