forever obsessed with dynamics between vampires, specifically that of a maker and fledgling, as a way to explore abuse. the creation of a vampire itself can so easily be a literalization of the lasting impacts of trauma and also much more simply the ways a perpetrator might shape their victim’s very identity. the extremes of isolation in the way that the new vampire, in most narratives, must cut all ties to their mortal life, or else go through an elaborate charade to maintain the facade of humanity, while forever still being removed from it. and the sheer dependence and vulnerability of being in an entirely new state of being, wholly uncertain of what it entails, and relying on another person to define… everything.

Lestat is showing Louis around set and introducing him to people (not because he cares about said people but because he wants an excuse to say the words "my husband" over and over) and Louis is giving everyone his polite, disinterested smile, but then when he starts introducing him to the documentary team Louis gives Daniel one of his real smiles (warm and fond and a little exasperated in an "I can't believe I like this guy" kind of way, eyes a little crinkled up) and calls him Danny, and Lestat just. fucking. Glitches.
…It's nice. You're so noisy. […] Actually, it'd be better if we died together. That way, neither of us would have to suffer the pain of losing the other, right? Shut up.
Idk what people think but you cannot for a single second convince me that Louis "14 i just said that, what you laughing at, me accent?, do do do very funny, do your stupid job you focking loosa and so on" Tomlinson heard the words "The wind makes nice waves" tumble out of his mortal enemy Harry Styles' mouth and not only did he not strangle him or made fun of him, but he just turned to him all 🥰🥰😊😊😍😍☺️☺️🥹🥹 and simply said "that's right"... AND I'M SUPPOSED TO THINK THIS IS NOT LOVE???? THAT THEY HAVEN'T BEEN HEAD OVER HEALS WHIPPED, PATHETICALLY IN LOVE FOR YEARS???
There's literally no argument that can convince me this ain't love, just from that vid alone
i was planning to finish this, but the past few days had been so hectic, that I can't help but post the unfinished version just to make it in time for Saint-Just's birthday. Happy birthday Saint-Just!
