The Astartes growing out beards as a cry for help thing is so funny to me

so REVENGE, HUH? or justice, if that makes you feel better. it tastes the same when cooked just right. 'I REALLY WANTED A BROTHER.' such a shame to burn a bridge you so desperately wanted to keep, especially when it wasnt even you who started the fire. especially when you hope that not a single fragment of that bridge ever washes ashore.[MAY IT ROT FAR FROM MY SIGHTS] an unfortunate loss! atleast he has his friends.

Listen to the Black Parade! We’ve got songs about:

Religious trauma + Joan of Arc

Religious trauma + masochism

Religious trauma + being trans

Religious trauma + Joan of Arc, again

Episode 8 theory (contains ep 7 spoilers)

A lot of us are wondering what episode 8 will consist of because episode 7 is the trial/Claudia and Madeleine’s deaths. An easy guess is the official Loumand divorce proceedings… but what will finally lead Louis out the door?

With all the abhorrent things Armand has done, Louis has stayed with Armand. Does Louis think it was just the initial betrayal or does he know Armand was behind it all (as he did in the book)? Whether or not he knows the full extent of what he’s done remains to be seen.

But what could enrage Louis so much to finally leave Armand for good?

Claudia’s missing diary pages. What did Armand tear out without Louis being there?

The pages detailing Claudia’s SA seem to have been torn out of anger and protection by Louis.

Louis mentioned he and Armand took out pages together which might explain these:

But what about the pages on the diary where she wrote Lestat’s final words in his own blood?

These carefully exacto’d pages before Lestat’s dying words may be the pages Armand took out with Louis knowing.

What could have been on those pages?

How about Claudia’s dying words, written by her mâitre just as he had annotated her Baby Lu performance?

Louis and Daniel know Armand’s handwriting well at this point- they have direct access to the TdV scripts. They will know his writing immediately.

Armand is directly to blame for Claudia’s death and likely sees her betrayal of her maker Lestat (someone he deeply cares for) as good enough reason for her murder. And wanting Louis all to himself, of course.

And what better way to bid farewell to his coven member than to copy what she’d done to Lestat in his own fucked up way?

they were all fakers huh. not just koyan but all the alter egos of the foreign god even the foreign god itself with its quest for dominance they were all fakers who tried to surpass the original and who all had no true place among humans. koyan and limbo are obvious examples but it also applies to muramasa and rasputin (noted freaks and outcasts of their era and inhabiting individuals that reflect this accordingly) and holmes himself as a hidden traitor and reflection to moriarty.

koyanskaya wanted to emulate the monster that tamamo no mae once was, something that could freely torment and destroy humans, but tamamo was a being who had always strived for understanding yet was never shown compassion. shes so committed to the good wife role because its something that will have her accepted by other humans, and more specifically something that will help her understand human love. tamamo had always wanted love and acceptance by humanity, but koyanskaya already holds human love within her whether she likes it or not, not only because of her status as a beast but also because she's representative of the animals that have walked alongside humanity from the beginning. its why tamamo is her mirror, why koyanskaya was even classified as an alter ego of tamamo in the first place, and it's also why there's even a koyanskaya of the Light and a koyanskaya Go In The Dark: they not only represent the death and life zones of her reality marble, they're another emulation of tamamo having split herself apart into the tamamo nine (the bnuuy two?). koyanskaya isnt the tamamo no mae or a part of the nine, nor is she daji as well, but she is a being similar to them because she exists with the same natural dichotimatic feelings towards humans. they hold a love for humanity that is fundamentally at odds with their own nature as natural enemies of humanity.

I feel like this is in part why ibuki douji was the only servant that could be brought in from the outside: She's also a living calamity towards humans, a literal force of nature with a will of its own. she had amnesia entering tunguska because it was a world antithetical to humans, reflective of koyanskayas mindset but also her ideal vision of a world, full of beings removed from humans and defense mechanisms celebrating the murder humans are capable of. if you took her history with humanity away, the ibuki douji that's left is quite literally just a happy go lucky free spirit of nature in a world made for herself, no longer a venerated god or feared calamity.

deep down, it's what koyanskaya wanted for herself.

taigong knew that the fair faced golden fox was a being that couldn't help its nature, it was specifically born as a monster that was meant to torment and destroy humans, but he still fell in love with her not in spite of her nature but because of it. he knew that she was a monster that would only terrorize humans but as he sees her struggling to survive he can't help but empathize with that as a fellow human, and more than anything taigong follows through on dajis curse of immortality because that's what it meant to love her, to achieve her final dream. to carry the memory of someone you love

taigong and nikitich were the only servants able to be summoned into tunguska because they were the only ones who would have compassion for koyanskaya, and compassion, understanding is what's needed to defeat beasts of humanity. it's never about defeating the big enemy, its about reaching an understanding.

anyways they just needed like 1 extra tidbit to foreshadow this beforehand so that tunguska wouldnt have been so poorly received 2ish years ago (and i mean. we do have that moment in SIN with QSH thats even called out in koyanskayas profile) + proper scheduling to not have this critical story piece be a time limited raid event (lol epic of remnant gudaguda moment) but hey they're funny

Does anyone want my random thoughts about my old fics as I re-read them? Lmao (also forever thank you @redfurrycat for making my kindle anthology for me 🥹🫶🏼)

Honestly the thing that irks me the most about the ""dire wolf"" thing is that even without any experience in this field. Even if you have no idea what a dire wolf looked like. Do you guys not find it a LITTLE odd that these guys came out with wooly mice like barely a month ago and claimed it was "the first step to creating mammoths" and then immediately came out with what they claimed to be a dire wolf. These kinds of genetic modification are expensive as Hell they'd need a ton of funding to revive ONE species why are they sticking their fingers in as many pies as humanly possible (it's for media attention). Why are they pumping out so many press-friendly "new species" so quickly (it's for media attention).

i have yet another question for the therian community

so like. i’ve been a therian my whole life ofc but only find out in august so i don’t know. a LOT. i am still learning :3 BUT the question i have is about poly-therianopy (if there are any handy resources where I can research more that would be so incredibly helpful!!)

i think I have too many theriotypes? and it’s making me wonder if i’m actually a therian? bc i have a handful of canines i kin specifically, but the more i get comfortable in my identity the more it feels like im just. all of them? the entire canid family? wolves, coyotes, wolfdogs, wild dogs, and domesticated dogs? i feel like every month i get a new theriotype >:(

chat is this normal? am i doing therianopy right?
