The thing about marius is hes not only an abuser pedophile slave owner etc. Hes also extremely annoying. Reading his chapters is a nightmare this man is such a 'nice guy' stereotype. Hes the type of guy that asks "wheres my hug". Hes also super whiny and needy?? PLEASE for the love of god leave these women (pandora and bianca and armand) alone.

I can forgive general awfulness but i draw a line at being fucking irritating. I want to crush him like a snail egg

LMFAO THANK U FOR THIS ASK IM CRACKING UP 😭😭 this is so accurate I’m crying 😭😭 this is also how I felt about Marius while I was reading the series 💀 “please leave these women (Armand) alone” is killing me omg 😭

I think what ppl who critic me for hating on Marius miss is I don’t hate him bcus I think he’s anymore especially evil then the other characters, and I don’t blame anyone for liking him, like this is the choose ur favorite awful person book series if ur fav criminal is Marius I can’t judge lol, like go off. No the reason I hate him is bcus he is exactly like a very specific type of horrible person that I often encounter in my real life and it’s irritating as hell 😭. Anne rice confirmed that she based a majority of her character’s traits on people she knows in real life, and I’m sure in taking inspiration for Marius she didnt rlly intend to make him so unlikable, but boy did she 😭. Like I know this person and I hate him, lmfao. Which is some great writing, bcus he feels like such an authentically real person, but god. Jesus. Oh my god his chapter in tvl took years off my life. Please be quiet for one second u old fuck.

(I will say tho I did find reading Marius’s pov in queen of the damned for some of the chapters rlly entertaining. He is a compelling narrator and a someone who can be funny and charming, he came up with the iconic brat prince nickname after all, which makes it even more annoying that he usually isn’t 💀. The same way his terribleness is so frustrating bcus he is self aware that he hurts the people he loves but does it anyway. Then he’s like wahhhhh I’m so lonely, lmao. But with all this said I genuinely, in a way, love Marius and would like the vampire chronicles less if he wasn’t a character. He’s horrible in a way that’s necessary to the plot and adds a lot of complexity and depth between characters and dynamics.)

WREAK havoc. not reek. reek havoc implies that your stink is so wild that it causes chaos among all those around you

people leaving me mean comments on ao3 is honestly so fucking funny. Like you child. You absolute infant. I was playing CoD on Xbox Live at the height of its popularity. Nothing you can conjure will ever beat the rage of a twenty-something undersexed manchild screaming about a fake gamer girl killing him on Rust.

horrible news: you have to practice to level up your skills because it's unrealistic to think you'll be good at everything first try

had a real life "and everybody clapped" moment and im still reeling. spent the rest of the ride comparing butterfly pics with the old lady next to me trying to identify it

interaction i have with shocking regularity is when someone’s complaining abt someone they know and theyre like “ughh they’re 21 and dont have a job and refuse to learn to drive” and then they remember who they’re talking to (me. 21 cant work cant drive) and go like

Do y’all think siblings in medieval times would look at the little beasts in illuminated manuscripts and point at each other like ‘ha! ‘Tis thou!’

People liking your personal OCs is still such a crazy feeling, I've been doing this for years and ppl asking about them still fills my entire heart with warmth and idk how to handle it

You enjoy this fictional guy I made up for fun?? Whose only content is random artwork or writing made by me and a handful of other artists at most? They have no show/book/game with a large fandom, it's just one person with an art blog?? I love u

i got rickrolled today but it didn't work because i have adblocker installed, so youtube just told me i violated the terms of service. yesterday i was trying to edit a picture as a joke for my girlfriend, and google made me check a box to prove i'm human because i wasn't "searching normally".

it isn't just that capitalism is killing fun and whimsy, it is that any element of entertainment or joy is being fed upon by this mosquito body, one that will suck you dry at any vulnerability.

do you want to meet new friends in your city? download this app, visit our website, sign up for our email list. pay for this class on making a terrarium, on candlemaking, on cooking. it will be 90 dollars a session. you can go to group fitness, but only under our specific gym membership. solve the puzzle, sign up for our puzzle-of-the-month-club. what is a club if not just a paid opportunity - you are all paying for the same thing, which makes you a community.

but you're like me, i know it - you're careful, you try the library meetings and the stuff at the local school and all of that. the problem is that you kind of want really specific opportunities that used to exist. you are so grateful for libraries and the publicly-funded things: they are, however, an exception - and everything they have, they've fought tooth-and-nail to protect. you read a headline about how in many other states, libraries have virtually nothing left.

do you want to meet up with your friends afterwards? gift your friends the discord app. you can choose to go to a cafe (buy a coffee, at least), a bar (money, alcohol) or you can all stay in and catch a movie (streaming) or you can all stay in bed (rent. don't get me started) and scream (noise complaint. ticket at least).

you want to read a new book, but the book has to have 124 buzzwords from tiktok readers that are, like, weirdly horny. you can purchase this audiobook on audible! your podcast isn't on spotify, it's on its own server, pay for a different site. fuck, at least you're supporting artists you like. the art museum just raised their ticket price. once, they had a temporary exhibit that acknowledged that ~85% of their permanent art galleries were from cis white men, and that they had thousands of works by women (even famous women, like frida! georgia o'keefe!) just rotting in their basement. that exhibit lasted for 3 months and then they put everything away again.

walmart proudly supports this strip of land by the street! here are some flowers with wilting leaves. its employees have to pay out-of-pocket for their uniforms. my friend once got fined by the city because she organized a community pick-up of the riverfront, which was technically private property.

no, you cannot afford to take that dance class, neither can i. by the way - i'm a teacher. i'm absolutely not saying "educators shouldn't be paid fairly." i'm saying that when i taught classes, renting a studio went from 20 bucks an hour to 180 in the span of 6 months. no significant changes to the studio were made, except they now list the place as updated and friendly. the heat still doesn't work in the building. i have literally never seen the landlord who ignores my emails. recently they've been renting it out at night as an "unusual nightclub; a once-in-a-lifetime close-knit party." they spent some of those 180 dollars on LEDs and called it renovating. the high heels they invite in have been ruining the marley.

do you want to experience the old internet? do you want to play flash games or get back the temporary joy of club penguin? you can, you just need to pay for it. i have a weird, neurodivergent obsession with occasionally checking in to watch the downfall and NFT-ification of neopets. if i'm honest with you all - i never got into webkins, my family didn't have the money to buy me a pointless elephant. people forget that "being poor" can mean literally "if i buy you that toy, i can't afford rent."

you and i don't have time to make good food, and we don't have the budget for it. we are not gonna be able to host dinner parties, we're not made of money, kid. do you want some kind of 3rd space? a space that isn't home or work or school? you could try being online, but - what places actually exist for you? tiktok counts as social media because you see other people on it, not because they actually talk to you.

there was a local winter tradition of sledding down the hill at my school. kids would use pizza boxes and jackets and whatever worked, howling and laughing. back in september, they made a big announcement that this time, rules were changing, and everyone must pay 10 dollars to participate. when im not scared shitless, i kind of appreciate the environmental irony - it hasn't gone below 40. so much for snow & joyriding.

i saw a bulletin for a local dogwalking group and, nervous about making a good first impression, showed up early. the first guy there grimaced at me. "sorry," he said. "there's a 30-dollar buy-in fee." i thought he was joking. wait. for what? the group doesn't offer anything except friendship and people with whom to walk around the city.

he didn't know the answer. just shrugged at me. "you know," he said. "these days, everything costs money."
