#hippie vampire boi

[aracruze]

Bitches out here obsessed with The Lost boys (1987) AND want their house to be an old Victorian mansion in the middle of nowhere decorated with a whimsigoth aesthetic.

Hi, I'm bitches and this is what I want my living room to look like:

[troublewithvampires]

//decided to fill out one of those ship template memes with sal and his human boytoy <3 the bitch-ass hippie loser he's forever bonded with <3 using how old they are in modern verses, as opposed to how old they are when they first meet.

as a note, if you've seen me refer to a character named jason or billy, that's the same dude. his real name is jason booth but salvatore calls him 'billy whitebread' as a joke and at this point he's just accepted it. he uses both names just fine.

[barrenclan]

[vaguesxrrow]

heya! its me, once more, with a possibly oddly specific request, bc yes

i'd like to request a Dean Winchester (again, i know, he has invaded my brain) x reader, where for a case, they need a distraction, and reader ends up dancing to let Dean and Sam get away before running away themself, [oh, btw, established relationship please] and Dean is just

Dean: "they can dance too?! they're awesome"

Sam: "yeah, great, dude, but we gotta go"

thank you!!

HELLOO AGAIN !! this was so fun to write as usual. im so glad to have u as one of my 'regulars' btw it makes me feel like a rlly cool coffee shop owner :o

dancing queen - dean winchester/reader

a/n: hey look ! i've upgraded to titles !

cws: mild innuendos at the end

wc: 768

tags: humour, gender neutral reader (? they call themself feminine titles bc of the song but they/them pronouns are used)

"dude, seriously?" dean complained as the beginning notes of 'dancing queen' began from sam's phone. "abba!?"

sam rolled his eyes. "they're not bad."

"don't judge, dean," you said. "you can make an exception for dancing queen."

dean grumbled, but settled down at your reprimand. he muttered something sarcastic about this being a 'great soundtrack to kill vamps to', and you giggled at his consternation.

"you should learn to dig the dancing queen, dean," you told him, swaying to the beat and tapping his shoulder in an attempt to liven his mood.

"yeah, dean," sam parroted.

"the only thing i'll be digging is a grave," he deadpanned.

⌦ ---

you were fucked.

you were cornered by three vamps, after yelling at them to divert their attention from the boys to yourself. you felt kind of bad about raiding their nest, because you had learned that they were newly turned. but there was no use reasoning with them now. they wanted your blood.

which is why you were fucked.

sam and dean were looking at you with wide, panicked eyes from behind the three vampires, already having killed the two that were attacking them earlier. dean was still wiping blood off his face.

"uhm." you gulped nervously. “hi.”

your boyfriend and his brother skulked quietly behind, trying to avoid alerting the vamps to their presence a second time. them being them, though, it failed. dean tripped on sam's foot, and they both swore in unison. the monsters whirled around to glare at them, beginning to advance again.

"hey!" you barked at them. they half-turned towards you, as if considering who they should kill first. you needed a distraction so the boys could get away.

one problem, though: you couldn't think of a distraction.

"uhh, shit." you fumbled with your knife, as an idea popped into your mind. a ridiculous idea, but all the just dance you played as a kid had to be for something, right?

and so you began.. dancing. and singing. performing a whole show, really, because hearing sam's hippie music taste was bound to have that effect on people.

"youuu can dance, you can jiiive, having the time of your lii- shit, that's a tricky note - liiiife." you pointed at the vampires, moving your hips and swaying your arms in what you hoped was an accurate copy of the actual moves. you resolutely ignored sam's incredulous gaze and dean's loose jaw, continuing to channel your inner popstar.

"OOOH, see that girl!" you pointed to yourself and mimed an air guitar. okay, this was fun, ignoring the fact that you could die. it was like the dance competitions your parents used to enroll you in, just with judges that would rip you to shreds instead of giving you last place. maybe you should get back into dancing.

from behind the wall of confused vampires, you saw sam tugging dean's arm, murmuring to him about how they 'had to dip, right the fuck now'.

"i was already questioning how [name] agreed to date me, cause look at them, they were badass in that fight, but they can dance too? how awesome is that?" dean hissed back.

you bit back a laugh in favour of belting out the next note and doing the next move. "watch that scene, digging the dancing queen!" you freestyled that part, twirling around.

"yeah, dude, but we still gotta go." sam yanked dean's arm once more, dragging him out and forcing him into a run. you breathed a sigh of relief as they ran out the door.

"hope you enjoyed the show!" you said as you pulled your gun on the vampires, shooting them all in quick succession. you sprinted away, not bothering to check whether they were really dead or not.

when you saw the impala, you slowed to a walk, satisfied that there were no more bloodthirsty monsters chasing you.

dean and sam were engaged in what looked to be a one-sided conversation: dean rambling, and sam staring at his brother with half judgement, half love.

"sammy, i'm telling you, man. a fighter and a dancer?" dean shook his head. "i am one lucky man."

"you enjoy the show?" you asked them as you approached, a bit out of breath.

"hell yeah!" dean exclaimed, giving you a high five and a deep kiss. "that was so cool."

"does that mean you'll start digging the dancing queen?" you teased.

"only if you're the one dancing," he said.

you grinned. "oh, there is so much i could teach you. devil's tango, maybe?" you winked.

sam fake gagged. "okay, gross! i am never playing abba ever again!"

Midnight Fang - Poly BTS x Reader (Chapter 0.5)

Summary: The werewolves thought they found all their mates. They never imaged they’d met another, let alone that she’d be a vampire.

Warning: Blood, Alcohol, Mate Au Supernatural AU, Poly Au, Unrequited Love, Rejection, angst (Specific Warnings not mentioned will be made in each chapter this is just a small none specific overview)

[Series Masterlist] -> [Prev] - [Next]

Hungry…

You liked the forest. Trees make only 28% of the oxygen you breathed when you were alive, but the plants and flowers gave a certain life the ocean just couldn’t. The bunny nibbling on bitter lettuce was proof of just how much life these plants brought with them.

The food chain, without those plants a bunny couldn’t eat, and without the bunny a fox couldn’t and so on till the biggest predator dies.

You’ve liked the forest since you were human. Your friend use to call you a forest hippy, going on hikes with you once in a while. The two of you didn’t have the slightest clue anything about nature. All you knew was you loved it, and she tagged along because of that reason. It just felt right. The sun in your face and the dirt in your nails.

Hungry…

Now the sun of your face burns hot even in cold weather and the dirt in your nails feels too odd, to new. The feeling lost to the habit and need to keep your hands clean. So you sit, with muddy white cloth gloves on, a white lacy sun dress that was covered in mud and tears, and torn shoes tied by their laces together on your wrist in a mock, heavy bracelet.

White, light, flow-y, breathable.

Stained, dirtied, cold, exposed.

You were cold, dirtied and your legs were exposed to the elements. The pristine angelic color assigned to you long ruined by the brown mud and dirt. Your dignity falling low, but never low enough to hide behind a trash can. What if a human found you? No, instead you’d die in the woods.

Hungry…

When was the last time you’ve eaten? Three weeks… A person can bleed to death in just five minutes. You knew that. Vampires feed on people’s blood because they cannot supply their own. So while the blood running through your veins and in your cheeks aren’t your own, you try and preserve it. Try not to run out of it.

A person can bleed out in just five minutes, but it took two months to die without food. For you, it’s like a small mixture of the two. Blood leaving your body, you were burning it like it was the energy food was to humans.

You sweat, panting heavily and leaning against a tree. The confusion and anxiety getting to you as you felt your more important organs finally start to shut down.

You knew you wouldn’t survive without a Nest… but that didn’t make it less painful to die.

No.

You couldn’t die. Not with your life like this. Not when you gave up so much to live in the first place. So, in a finally last ditch effort to live.

You screamed.

-

-

-

Jimin heard the screech before any of the his mate did. His ears just worked better then there’s, it was a curse. A curse he thanked every full moon for because that’s how he met his mates. The scream was primal, life or death. Jimin’s head immediately flung in the direction and it was like his body moved on its own when he started running.

Namjoon ran after him, tripping over his own paws at the suddenness of the boys new behavior. He just… took off! It was seconds later he heard the scream as well. A second wave before the quiet. But… why did the quiet make his heart squeeze more then the screams did?

They both raced to the voice. It was odd, usually when you hear screaming you run away but it was like their instincts took over.

_______________

Hi! So I made this chapter as chapter 1! Then I realized I didn’t want it to be chapter one (reasons). And I also couldn’ add it to the prologue! So I’m making it chapter 0.5! Or a teased kind of thing. It’s cannon to the storyline placed in the middle of chapter 1 and the prologue…. Do with that what you will!

It’s really short because it’s half a chapter, real chapters will be longer. dw

☆|| Day two of my lost boys head-canons ||☆

(Fair warning they're random & not in order)

The Emerson’s

• starting this one off strong with one of my favorite head-canons, grandpa Emerson is a retired vampire hunter

• also his name is Gabriel (I definitely stole that from someone else so whoever originally came up with it I love you <3

• he hunted vampires all throughout Lucy’s childhood

• which is why he’s described as being strict when she was young because he was trying to keep her out of trouble

•also Lucy’s mom was definitely killed by vampires

• Her death is why he’s so paranoid about going into town

• so this once actually canon but Sam and Micheal’s dads name is lance

• Micheal was definitely an accident

• on top of Micheal’s name almost being “moonbeam” Sam was almost “morningwave”

• Lucy fought for both names but in the end settled

• Lucy was THE rebellious teenager

• she was the type of hippie who would rename herself but she could never just pick one so it would change weekly

• Lucy and lances relationship only started really going downhill when Mike was 12 and sam was 8

• they actually used to visit their grandparents when they were younger but that stopped after their grandma died

• Mike also lost a Walkman at their grandpas house when he was 11 and never found it

• he’s still bitter about it

• Mike cried when star pierced his ear

• Sam was CLINGY as a kid, specifically to Mike

• part of the reason that Mike actually ends up bonding with laddie is because he reminds him so much of Sam when he was little

• after the whole movie plot Lucy takes over the video store

• Gabe actually had a surprisingly big role on the frog brothers growing up

• in my head Lance looks exactly like the dad from license to drive

• they actually got nanook on one of their trips to Santa Carla

• Sam needs braces but he’s managed to avoid getting them for the last 3 years

• lance and Lucy had been fighting for year before they finally got divorced

• the finale straw for Lucy was finding out that not only was she cheating on her but the other woman was pregnant

I actually hate this. Enjoy💗

Day 30 of Kinktober: Michael Emerson Is a Lost Boy

pairing: Michael Emerson x fem!reader

warning: making out, hickeys, blow job, unprotected sex

Y/N’s POV

The boys and I are going to the pier to walk around, Laddie and I notices a concert so we go see what’s going on. While being there, there’s this boy looking at me, I kinda ignore him and try to enjoy the concert. I dance a little and I notice the boy still staring at me.

Laddie and I leave the concert and walked around a bit, I look behind me and the boy is following us. Laddie and I go to find the boys, Laddie wanted to go home but I wanted to stay a little more, I walk around and see the boy again looking at the ear pierce station.

“It’s a rip-off.” I whisper in his ear and walked away.

He follows me, “Hi.”

“If you want your ear pierced, I’ll do it.” I say still walking.

“What’s your name?” He asks.

“Y/N.” I answer.

“You folks, too huh?” He says.

“What’re you mean?” I look at him.

“Ex-hippies. I came this close to being called moonbeam or something like that. But Y/N is great.” He says.

I giggle.

“My name is Michael.” He says.

“Michael. Michael’s great. I like Michael.” I answer.

He chuckles.

“You wanna get something to eat?” He says.

“Okay.” I answer.

I follow him to his motorcycle but the boys rode their motorcycles to us.

“Where’re you going Y/N?” David questions.

“For a ride. This is Michael.” I answer honestly.

“Let’s go.” Michael says making me almost getting on his motorcycle.

“Y/N.” David says.

I look at him, I look at Michael, I get on David’s motorcycle. I can tell Michael looks pissed.

“You know where Hudson’s Bluff is overlooking the point?” David sarcastically asked.

“I can’t beat your bike.” Michael says.

“You don’t have to beat me, Michael. You just have to try and keep up.” David says.

I’m nervous what’s gonna happen. The boys speed up and rode on the beach. I keep on looking back where Michael is. I giggle on what’s going on. David keeps on urging Michael to go faster, including myself. Michael falls off his bike and notices where on a cliff.

“What the hell are you doing huh?!” Michael yells and punches David in the face.

“Stop!” I yell.

“Just you, come on! Just you!” Michael says.

The boys are trying to hold Michael down.

“How far are you willing to go, Michael?” David asked.

We go to our bat cave and I can tell Michael looks kinda scared. I mean I am as well, but what’s going to happen tonight.

“Marko, food.” David asks and made Michael sit somewhere.

I go to my bed and sits down, I get nervous, what’s going to happen?

Marko gets chinese food and gives the food to the rest of the boys.

“How are those maggots?” David says.

Michael looks confused.

“Maggots. You’re eating maggots m. How do they taste?” David says.

Michael looks down and almost throws up.

“Leave him alone.” I say.

The boys keep laughing at him. Michael looks at the mess he made and sees rice. I feel bad for him. The boys kept on touting him which made me feel uncomfortable.

“That’s enough.” I say standing up.

They stop, I walk up next to Michael, David opens the bottle and drinks a little of it and hands Michael the bottle.

“Drink some of this, Michael. Be one of us.” David says.

Michael takes the bottle and I walk up to him and says, “Don’t. You don’t have to, Michael.”

“It’s blood.” I say to him but Michael ignores me and drinks it.

I take Laddie to bed, when I sit on my bed I look at Michael, He’s turning into a vampire but he doesn’t see it.

TWO DAYS LATER

I try to sleep until I hear someone running into the cave, I look who it is and it’s Michael.

“Y/N!” He yells.

I hear glass being thrown on the ground. “Michael?” I walk up to him.

“What’s happening to me Y/N.” He says approaching me.

“Michael. I can’t tell you. I don’t know how to help you.” I hug him.

“What’s happening?” He asks.

I look at him and I start to kiss him. He kisses my neck, I start to moan, he picks me up and takes me to my bed, I sit up and he sits in front of me. He undresses me, I unbuckle his belt and unzip his pants. He makes me lay down and gets on top of me. We begin to make out, he gives me hickeys, I tug on his hair which made him growl. He gives me kisses all over my body, I gasp. I make myself get on top of him and give him kisses on his body as well. I begin to blow him which made him moan loudly. I keep on going, he tugs on my hair, I feel his cum inside my mouth, so I swallow every bit of it. Eventually, him and I made love, him going in and out of me, me screaming his name, us making noises, and him fingering me.

I think he’s better than David, just saying.

[danse--macabre]

jaheira/astarion headcanons:

he constantly flirts (which is par for the course for astarion), as early as the end of Act 2, but it is just so ineffective. so ineffective. your lies mean nothing pretty boy!

jaheira enjoys rebuffing this and coming up with creative ways to tell him his lines do nothing, lol.

he also constantly winds her up as well. will joke about her being a bare-foot hippie for simply being a druid. has called her 'the great jaheira' and 'the high harper' before ('and what does the high harper think?'), just to annoy. attention-seeking behaviour!

this is admittedly something jaheira will also do. loves to rib him for complaining about the damp, the wet, the cold, the mud, nature in general, walking too much, carrying too much, etc. will call him a soft little baby and an aged old man at the same time.

they are a bickering couple

the fact that astarion couldn't give a shit about nature while jaheira is literally a druid is a running joke and theme when it comes to dunking on each other tbh.

another related running theme: when they finally do hit it off, it's a running joke they never actually have sex in a bed. at camp, in a field, in the dirt, on the floor or against the wall in an abandoned building - but almost never in a bed. (real reason: I did not realise you could rent the elfsong out, sorry. but also astarion does complain about this of course.)

astarion LOVES to try and get jaheira to talk shit. she presents herself as somewhat above it, but jaheira is probably partial some gossip and I think a habit that does begin in the early stages is they will share a bottle of wine and they will start being old judgy queens together

'you're becoming a bad influence,' she'll say, wrinkling her nose, hitting him lightly on the shoulder. 'Was I not already?' She rolls her eyes, walks away. 'All the best things are, darling!' he'll call out, with a cackle, as she walks away.

when jaheira actually turns and gives astarion a genuine and sincere compliment... critical hit, maximum damage, hits the fucking bullseye.

other ways of critically hitting: any gentle caress to his face after a genuine compliment.

lots of genuine arguments as well about adventuring choices. I think one thing that does draw me is that yes, astarion does have people pleasing tendencies but he does tend to be quite vocal about his opinion. I'm fairly sure he and jaheira will clash often BEFORE he becomes super drawn into any kind of romance arc & I think in some ways that's fairly good for him.

astarion thinks the fact that she can turn into a panther and just tear into something is the hottest thing and quite frankly I think he was interested as soon as he saw her do this in the moonrise towers fight.

on jaheira's end... quite frankly if he wasn't a vampire and if they didn't have a job to do she would have just bedded him sooner, he's easy on the eyes and good fun, so why not? It does hit her in the middle of their flirting period that in another universe she wouldn't have hesitated.

when they do hook up jaheira tries to keep it a secret / on the down-low. this lasts about five days LOL.

it's not actually astarion's fault - he can be discreet and respects her wishes - it's just this camp is full of gossip mongers and lae'zel has bat ears. within five days everyone Knows.

at least one person (probably wyll, since he's fairly insightful) thought they'd been hooking up since they hit rivington.

jaheira doesn't realise astarion is slightly older than her until she tries calling him cub.

he laughs her off as a flatterer. she's confused, he tells her to just go on and guess his age. she thinks he's 120 years old.

'Add another century to that darling and you're almost there'. Cue jaheira being slightly stunned and astarion absolutely revelling in it.

I think she will still sometimes refer to him / treat him as if he is younger and he to her as if she is older though. It becomes a running inside joke.

biting: very much off the table when they do finally hook up.

(this does not stop astarion brushing his fangs against her skin to tease her when they hook up. 'Careful. No biting.' 'Oh, I wouldn't dare').

the fact that he is a vampire actually is one of jaheira's concerns and a small point of contention. jaheira has an interesting banter where she explains about a time she killed a spawn quite dramatically - while she's not a 'kill on sight' reckless moralist, she's got no great love for the creatures, and as much as she does come to enjoy the banter and the company, it's tinged with wariness in the first half of Act 3, because Jaheira is slow to trust and quick to suspect

the first bite happens well after cazador is dealt with. honestly I can see it happening on the eve of the final battle. because of jaheira's initial wariness, it becomes a real moment of intimacy and trust. she lets him drink from the arm, rather than the neck, just to maintain more control, has healing and resurrection scrolls prepared (she does not tell him this because she doesn't want to freak him out), etc. But he's able to stop when she asks. After it's over there is a very warm moment, after astarion gives her his sincere, genuine thanks, of her cradling his face and calling him a messy eater (lol)

speaking of Cazador, that's... honestly, it's a Lot given they're having a 'light & breezy' romance and they're still in the casual dalliance stages, have only just started hooking up if at all. jaheira ends up learning about some of the horrific trauma through seeing rather than Astarion telling and I think it'd be a bit mortifying if he weren't so singularly focussed on the goal.

I think Jaheira offers to share a bottle of wine with him the night after. I think he takes up her offer and it's a mix of talking about what happened in his own words (Astarion is actually fairly direct when it comes to talking about traumatic incidents) and also talking about something completely different when it gets too much.

Things definitely do ramp up in the final stretch / final few days before the Battle with the Elder Brain. Lots of post-battle shenanigans with some honest and quite raw moments? It's one of the most intense points of their fling (which increasingly feels NOT like a fling).

But I think Jaheira instinctively draws back after the final battle and tries to walk back some of the intensity and intimacy that developed due to 'it might be our last chance', due to some ingrained fears of intimacy and loss + trying to rationalise it as an impulsive, heat-of-the-moment thing + an expectation that Astarion would just move on anyway (false).

Astarion goes off to become a hero in the spawn ending. He does often return to the gate and they always arrange to meet for a drink. There's a lot of catching up, chatting shit, but also Jaheira increasingly turns to him for advice and to get his perspective on an issue. I think she trusts his viewpoint and when she can get in her head about not being able to save everything or everyone, or a hard choice she has to make, he'll often just go, somewhat bluntly, 'well you did the important thing, didn't you?' and put things in perspective. You killed the bad guy, you stopped the plot, you saved that woman's life. Trust yourself more. (He'll attempt to walk this back with a joke about how he's still a libertine scoundrel; Jaheira will laugh him off)

'You work too hard' is a common complaint of Astarion's. He's right. Jaheira always appreciates hearing it.

I think it's here we might also get touches of Astarion's 'I want to be close without having sex' we see in Act 2. I think there's at least on occasion where they initiate sex, he backs out, she's supportive and they end up cuddling.

Something Jaheira discovers way too late, following the events of the game: he's damned good at giving a massage. 'You didn't think to tell me this while we were sleeping in the dirt?' (Response is something like: 'Oh Jaheira, you wish you'd used me more for my body? My my.')

As said before, the 'I actually have sincere feelings for you' confession comes unexpectedly during the epilogue party, astarion impulsively ends up telling her. Jaheira... has to suddenly deal with the distance she put up like a wall coming crashing down because Astarion is impulsive and bad at holding things in

I think in an interesting mirror to Astarion's request to go slow with sex, Jaheira says she'll need to go slow with intimacy and romance. It's been a while (more than long enough), but she's not really had anything serious since her husband died.

I think as a compromise they maintain long distance for a bit, Astarion continues to adventure, but he'll visit with increasing frequency and for increasingly long periods. Jaheira will, after a while, insist he stay with her and not just in a tavern, and this gradually morphs into him spending months at a time in Baldur's Gate before a lead will pull him in another direction.

Which I think is good for them both. I think Astarion does well from a chance to just develop an identity for himself without being 'a partner' and grow on his own through adventuring. I think it also helps things develop at a pace Jaheira's comfortable with and means Jaheira can set some very concrete boundaries.

As things become serious and Astarion just drops the mask, they're very much 'fondly rib each other in public whenever one of them is even a displays affection, but deeply soft and sweet with each other in private'

Takes them a long while to say anything like 'I love you'.

Personally I can see them doing it after the other gets injured in battle. Berating them for being reckless and then telling them they love them, they're terrified, etc. Quite frankly I can see this happening to them both, but given Jaheira has lost a love before... more meaningful from her mouth.

Astarion is nothing like Khalid and Jaheira is very thankful for this. He's a different thing entirely, but it's not any kind of lesser love either.

Cannot get the idea of 80s hippie trad goth Anya out of my head. Stacks of silver jewelry, long sleeves and layered skirts, extravagant makeup with creative eyeliner, thick baby bangs, just wearing black from head to toe.

Imagine her going to school in light goth makeup and getting dresscoded because of her accessories but still refusing to stop. The kids at school try to tease her, but she just says anything in Russian, and they run off screaming.

Her room going from a pink princess fairy wonderland to an old wet forest where witches and elves reside. You can still see the mural Twilight painted for her when she was a little girl. She's not even hiding it or anything. She doesn't paint over the walls. it just covers them in posters and tapestry.

Imagine the Forgers continuing to take their family photo, but over time, you see Anya style just getting more and more goth meanwhile her parents just stay the same.

Everyone keeps saying how much she's changed, but when they look at old photos of her, they realise she's always been a little goth girl, just more creative and exprsssive. Like her going with that sparky black gown for prom, yeah, she's an edge lord at heart.

Instead of Bondman stickers, there are now random crystals and sage all over the house. There are so many random rings and earrings that she just puts down and leaves behind. Black lipstick by the front door incase she has to touch up before she leaves.

Twilight taking her to random rock and metal concerts. He refuses to wear all black because it would make it hard to be seen while walking so he just glows in a sea of goths and punks. He looks miserable the entire time but still makes sure to get good photos of her outside and buys her good tickets.

All of Yuri's coworkers are so weary of her whenever she stops by. Fully convinced she's a delinquent or something. Then she just runs up to him all cutesy, and he's just unfazed by the vampire talking to him.

Becky maintained her preppy princess aesthetic, so now they're just on two ends of the spectrum. Every time someone sees them talking, they think Anya is about to bully Becky or something, but now she's chill.

Damian is trying to continue meeting the Desmond standard and not engaging in delinquent activities like Anya (she does engage in delinquent activities btw bc who's gonna stop her), but he thinks she's 1000x cooler now and wants to hang with her even more. Obviously, all the boys can't get enough of her, so he's always seething with jealousy in the background and ready to fight anyone that goes too far.

Like there's a witch in the Forger house and she's only one with a body count.

i am rewatching episode 1 for rewind the tape :) I've seen the pilot probably around 20 times at this point but I've only watched it by myself.... once! so for the first time since my first time watching it alone, im gonna do it again with a head full of knowledge of the iwtv book and the full season. and im turning off captions so it's less reading and more watching and close observing for me >:D

Below is a liveblog!

WARNING: I FUCKING LOVE TO TALK AND POINT OUT USELESS THINGS ON EVERY SINGLE THING I SEE. THIS POST IS GOING TO BE A MILE LONG. Also im still not great at putting my thoughts together.

hmm. I would read molloys book on kaposi sarcoma and hiv/aids. i love how well the fake book covers and this advert are put together because so many times I've been asked by friends who i showed the show to if it was an actual commercial LOL.

THE PIC ON THE BACK OF THE BOOK GOING FROM LUKE TO JUST AN ACTUAL PICTURE OF YOUNG ERIC BOGOSIAN? LMFAO. The casting is genuinely so perfect in this show. hehe i like how well the passage of time is depicted through the book covers too, not just in. the photos for daniel obviously but for the aesthetic styles of the covers. the cover they made for "the internets gavel" is sooo mid 2000s. I love the attention to detail for these things on screen for less than a second because it gives a fool like me something to look at and praise simply because the detail wasn't overlooked.

"hate and ashbury" man this is such a good title too. simply because im looking at it and sifting out details it's such a good way to get even more insight into molloy's character. while I don't need to get into a history lecture of haight-ashbury, it tells a lot because it was a historically hippie neighborhood in the 1960s and the birthplace of the counterculture movement, it says a lot for molloy especially seeing the previous three fictional books he wrote about, being hiv/aids crisis, the politics of climate change in the United states, the governments attempts at putting stricter regulation on the internet... I could get into how this connects with molloy's character more in relation to his desire for vampirism but i am barely over a minute in and I've been typing for 15 minutes now!!!

"Preparing For An Interview" NO WAY. GUYS!

No no no i will not pause every 10 seconds and try to connect the thematic dots of everything being presented to me. I need to save that for the video essay im writing!

louis' beautiful handwriting❤️

i dont know why daniels scrunched up face is so fucking funny to me.

Jesus okay watching this without captions is actually really difficult for me i see why i need them all at all times. If im not rewinding because i keep fucking pausing im rewinding because I didn't understand a fucking word i just heard. Despite seeing the episode 20 times.

Hmm.. What personally redemptive accomplishments could louis be referring to..?

UUGGGHHHHHHJJJJJJJJHHHHHHHHHHHHHFHHHH sorry Louis on screen and i started tearing up. Hello armand goodbye armand.

Yah.

Do you think louis goes on twitter sometimes.

Yah?

COVID MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! COVID MEDIA!!!!!!!!!!!

Louis has changed... The only big change he's mentioned between Interview 1 and now that I can recall off the top of my head is that he stopped killing in 2000. I wonder why? I wonder many things

Truth and reconciliation....

Armand being concerned with daniels editor seeing/hearing what was said. I am vaguely aware of the theory that armand has possibly been up to mindfuckery with both louis and Daniel and i can only wonder if this has been mentioned to buoy that theory. To control the narrative.? Hmm... but why?

I know Daniel was annoyed by louis calling him "boy" but i think it's kind of cute. Even with nearly 50 years passing by, the old human is still young to the vampire who has lived going on twice his lifetimes. I am not 10 minutes in and I have been typing for 40 minutes!

FUUUUUUCK sorry. louis

I have no commentary on louis introducing. LESTAT. sorry, not him. On louis introducing new orleans and his the place he inhabited in it. I think its pretty self explanatory and explicit, yeah?

BRICKS❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh my god the fucking "Oh—goddamn." upon seeing fenwicks diarrhea dick is Ao fucking funny. Louis acting like he would actually have a problem seein a dick or too. Probably would have a problem seeing fenwicks tho (unshitted on). I don't disagree there. Maybe the poop camo is for the best....

Yiu can't be saying that racist jake the dog

Id stick my finger in fenwicks wound and see how deep itd go.

Hi paul

The lord told me to cum. Sorry im 5 years old

Paul punching louis is genuinely so fucking. LESTAT AND HIS FUCKING GOOFY ASS HAT OH MY GOD!!. Sorry. Paul punching Louis was so fucking funny to me because I know that if they were not on that street and were at home or something they would be SLUGGING each other until grace has to pull them apart. Then hug it out :) Idk is this how siblings work im pretty much an only child

I keep having to google words help. HELP. NOT ME HAVING LOOKED UP "PULPIT" ALREADY AND APPARENTLY COMPLETELY FORGETTING WHAT IT MEANS.

Immediately another word I have to google. Im not gonna say I'm stupid for not knowing these words, i did not grow up with the church as closely as others...

i do think a lot about the pointe du lac household before their father died. like. A lot. Theres so much in that brief interaction mentioning him. The sugar cane, the hospital, the Diversion.

Ill never forget the first time i rewatched this ep After learning about the mayfair witches and seeing this scene and being like: GASP! OH MY GOD! ANNE RICE REFERENCE! IT'S ALL CONNECTED!

Paul is so fucking funny like the shade he's constantly throwing, please take a break LMFAO

hng. (louis)

Googling words again. Hmmm the internalized homophobia yes yes i see. Sorry need to google another fucking word. Oh. oh louis...... Ok I can see how my mom picked up on louis being gay so fast. I am a smart boy but my vocabulary is pathetically limited so "big" words going over my head made what should've been pretty obvious be absolutely indecipherable to me. Sorry for being stupid (im not)

I am 17 minutes in and I have been watching and typing for an hour!

Louis: everyone in here is white so its easy to pick out who's gonna call me a nigger to my face and whos gonna do it behind my back

Sir..... Mister....

Hes here

Microaggression 1

TWO.

THREE.

FOUR?

LESTAT CONTINUOUSLY HITTING ME OVER THE HEAD WITH BRICKS

His hair looks like shit

IM. GOING TO KILL HIM. Dont worry louis get behind me.

YOU GONNA FALL VICTIM TO THIS MAN WHOSE HAIR GOT CAUGHT UNDER THE IRON?

Oh my god Leswirl de lioncourt PLEASE PLEASE I CANT TAKE THIS. Actually started growling out loud and said "Shut rhr fuck up, oh mt God.!!!"

IVE EMPTIED A BANK VAULT SAMPLING. S. AJSHKSKSJZMSMS PLEASE SHUT THE FUCK UP OH MY GKD. PLEASW. ISNSSMJAKSNSMSJAJZMSUAUBZNZ

Lestat put your ears away, please.

Me, watching this for the first time at the age of 20: Is this gay...? No... it can't be. They would put gay in a show...? For real? (in denial and scared of being queerbaited despite the most explicit homosexual overtext)

MISS CARROLL THEYRE HAVING A DICK MEASURING COMPETITION.!!!!!!!

Unfortunately lestat did kind of serve there but throwing his dick down on the table embarrassing louis like that in front of miss carroll and lily was evil and racist somehow And he should be sentenced to 40 good slams in thr head with a brick

If paul didn't punch louis none of this would be happening

Lestat: God i love to troll

Who the devil you say.? Well...

Oh lord louis' face card sorry didn't mean to moan like that. I saw a maj so beautiful I threw up evrrywhere

Hmm. The racism

FUUUUUUCK LOUIS IS SO CUTE I NEED TO KILL MYSELF!

Lestat needs to put his ears AWAY he looks so bad with his hair that short.

What IS this insane time freezing trick lestat is doing? God when im actually giving myself a chance to really absorb myself in the show that scene is actually pretty fucking scary LOL

I NEED TO DIE I HATE HOW MUCH I LOVE THEM. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE SHIOT ME IN THE FUCKING HEADA

Lord have mercy the sheer SEX in his eyes as he looks at louis' neck. I nedd to die

Paul..... I need to kill myself for emotional reasons not related to loustat

Egypt reference! Wow! Gabrielle allusion ! "The means to make my way to paris" Ok well what if i

I FEEL SO FUCKING BAD AT HOW HARD I LAUGH AT PAULS SCENES. steven norfleet does such an amazing job in this role.

SAVAGE GARDEN!!!!!!! GUYS!!!!! B

Hooray! The scene that changed me literally Forever. Whatever, man.

Ykung violinist

lily and lestat circling louis like two lions descending on a zebra.

I had a dream about this scene once. I will not br elaborating.

Dude.

GUYS. SEX IS SO FUCKING AWESOME!!!

Guys.

God thid is so fucking crazy

Unfortunately this part does make me giggle especially having to see these two men floating naked and seeing sams fat ass Im about to start crying again

I wish vampires were real

Insert joe biden yelling faggot I don't have it on hand and i don't want to pause for 20 minutes to find it

MY FAVORITE SCENE EVERRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PAUL AND LOUIS TAPDSNCING SO CUTE AARRRGGHHHHHHHHHHH!!! The fact that thus scenr eas really all them, being jacob and steven, its so awesome.

WHEN THE BLACK JOY! And then thr Black suffering. Ok guys 21st time is a charm Im praying really hard I THINK I CAN STOP PAUL FROM JUMPING THIS TIME!

This is one of those scenes that really seperates black viewers from nonblack viewers because the way some of my nonblack friends have reacted to florence blaming louis has made me so insanely embarrassed.... I don't know how to explain it. But the shame from a black parent... especially the mother. I don't know. It breaks you in a different way than anything else. Theres a lot of nuance I want to say but I don't have the time or brainpower or expertise to word it properly so please just take my emotional response to this scene at face value.

sorry but lestat just openly asking during the funeral service where they got pauls coffin from is CRAZY.

Breaking finns arm was also crazy as fuck. Like would hs have done that if louis didn't get angry as fuck at him just then. Unfortunately knowing lestats character now seeing louis get mad like that probably made him hard as fuck and thr only way he can deal with it in the moment is to break that mans arm. Sorry I love how ar the beginning of this post i was like super into the nitty gritty and the details bjt then it just turned into me making fun of lestat and how hard he definitely was in like every single scene he was in

God. the pain.

Killing lily was in fact extremely racist and misogynistic of lestat. He should be stabbed many times for this

God.

Ok scene two that permanently changed me

Sorry to that poor stunt double that got knocked out then.

What rage you must feel as you choke on your sorrow. Unfortunately one of the hardest lines ever

No commentary. Hard to say things about this scene cause its just so good, man.

Oh my poor ashy grey blood deprived louis

Watching this scene with headphones on is crazy

GOD. GUYS. I LOVE SHOW. DID YOU GUYS KNOW I FUCKING LOVE SHOW???!!?? Pack it up guys This is one of the best pilots in tv history

To wrap up this post, it took me about 2 hours and 20 minutes to finish the first episode. I spent twice as long watching it BECAUSE I LOVE TO FUCKING YAP!

Chances - Chapter 5

Summary: After reaching the boardwalk, Jordan finds she has to save a kid from certain death. And the Lost Boys soon catch up and find a shocking discovery about Jordan.

Back to the boys finally yippeee. Finally using the tw tags too.

Chapter 4 <<< >>> Chapter 6

TW// Blood, Death, brief mention of Body Disfigurement

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Boardwalk

Jordan watches as a little boy around 10 years or so runs past her along with at least 5 crazies chasing after him. After seeing them run out of sight, she sees the person who cried out. A very pretty looking woman, with a very hippie fashion sense. The woman spots Jordan staring and she darts towards her and clings to her.

"You have to help him please!" She can barely get the words out as tears begin to form.

“Was that your brother-” Jordan is cut off as the woman starts heading in the opposite direction.

“Please help him! They’ll kill him! I need to find his brothers, please go help him.” She heads in the direction which Jordan presumes is where his brothers are. Jordan takes a second to process what just happened before making a decision.

“Say no more.” Jordan soon starts running in the direction she saw them go in.

--------------

“What do you guys think, gold or silver?” Paul holds up two necklaces to his brothers.

“Gold matches your hair.” Marko comments.

“Fuck no, gold is tacky. Go with silver.” David places a cigarette to his lips.

“Neither, you look fine the way you are.” Dwayne says as he tries on some bulky looking rings.

“Dwayne!” A voice calls out. Dwayne immediately stops what he’s doing and runs to the source of the voice.

“Star! What’s going on? Where’s Laddie?” Dwayne looks frantically for his boy.

“He’s in trouble! Surfer Nazis.” Star looks to all of them.

“How many?” David casually asks.

“I saw five of them.”

“Well boys, let’s waste ‘em.” They all headed for their bikes and road off to search for them.

“Someone went after them to help Laddie.” Star told them as they rode through the boardwalk.

“What did they look like?” Paul asked

“Short, dark hair with a white headband-"

“Red crop top and ripped jeans? Marko suddenly piped up.

“Um, yes. Do you know her? Wait, is it the girl you've been after?” 

“Yeah” Marko sighs, It was her trademark outfit he always saw her in. He tried not to get too infatuated with thinking about her. He needs to stay focused.

Paul then said “Aw shit Marko! Your girl is gonna need your help! Track her down man!” Marko rolled his eyes as Paul cackled and headed towards the outskirts of the boardwalk.

------------

The area is quieter, mainly with secluded alleyways and condemned buildings. No one seems to be around. They all split up to look for where the group might be. Not too long after arriving, David calls out to the group and says “I think I found your girl Marko…” His demeanor wasn’t a nice one, this can’t be good.

When they finally group back together, David is at an dark alley. He lights a cigarette and points into it "Look." They are greeted to the sight of four carcasses with one guy in the hands of Jordan with her back turned to the group. She’s growling and clamping her teeth onto the guy’s neck as he tries to cry out, but is unsuccessful. Blood is sprayed over all of the walls of the alleyway and the bodies are all disfigured in one way or another.

“Holy shit…” Paul comments which causes Jordan to turn around. Her eyes flash red and yellow and blood stains her face and clothes. Paul turns to Marko and says “Dude, she’s a vampire.”

The Lost Boys Deleted scenes

I recently watched the deleted scenes from the 1987 film Lost Boys. I did this out of curiosity to see if any of the deleted content might be used for a subplot in the new Broadway musical in development.

Some of the deleted scenes just drag down the film, like Michael picking up litter on the beach. But other scenes would have added to the movie- like Lucy (the mother) and Max's dates going wrong and the one scene of the vampire teens intimidating Lucy by circling her on their motorcycles until Max showed up. That would have been a useful clue for his big reveal. But one scene... One scene was just odd. There is a deleted scene where it appears Sam has turned on "Lost in the Shadows" (the Movie's main theme song that played when Michael rode his motorcycle with the vampire teens). The camera is outside the window and I guess it's a vampire POV ("I will wait outside her window tonight." Maybe Max?) Anyway, what makes the scene odd is Michael announces that he might not go back to school when it starts in a few weeks. Instead of commenting or arguing, Lucy starts bopping along with the boys to "Lost in the Shadows." I get it. Lucy and her father are eccentric and "Ex" hippies but she doesn't seem like the sort of mother who wouldn't care if her oldest son just said he might be dropping out of school. Maybe i misread her character and she thinks he can get educated at home but it just feels so random. It's like "I'm probably dropping out of school." "Groovy." You can find most of the deleted scenes on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5fitLl4w48

[swamp-spirit]

Been thinking about the most teenage story I wrote in high school and like, it was:

Teen girl gets brought into a social group of hot goth boys with different color themes. They turn out to be half demons, and realize she has the right powers to join their magical dance battle team. She eventually finds out she's secretly half wolf demon.

But like... going back to it, I stand by a surprising amount of it:

-Green coded guy was the physical embodiment of a forest that took human form to attempt to charm the hippie conservationist who saved him.

-In fact, pretty much none of the guys were romantically interested in the female lead, they were legit just her friends and dance team. The actual romantic interest was like... team member #5 who gets pretty much no page time for the chunk teen me actually wrote

-World building is that there used to be super powerful demons, but they got wiped out, and all modern demons are weird, weaker genetic offshoots of the originals. One team member is one of the few surviving ancient demons, but this is because he was sealed for centuries and is now physically weak, deeply traumatized, and just kinda a weird hikkimori who the other demons respect for the raw power he'd have if he felt like it.

-Vampire Rules: Let's say the original vampires were 1000% vampires. Super strong, super bloody thirsty, super weak to sunlight, etc. When they died, everyone within radius split that percent, and every time a vampire dies, it gets split up so vampireness is super diluted.

-This means vampire hunters slowly become vampires. One team member was a vampire hunter, and tracked down his last target, who intentionally isolated himself to make sure the hunter who killed him would become fully vamp themselves.

-The other team member who's part vampire was just like... at a large party where a vampire died and is .003% vampire. There are no powers with this. He is the romantic interest.

Way to go tiny me. Congrats on making the most Angsty Teen (tm) premise and then becoming totally lost in your weird hot-demon-boy world building.

Saint 'Dimitri'

(also known as DMT. Paul and Michael get high, and go down a list of all the things they can put in their bodies because vampire bodies are only addicted to one thing in the long run. tw: Discussions of drug use, references to drugs. I wrote this very quickly bc the idea bit me.)

-

"Weed?"

"Obviously."

"Yeah." Michael flicks a finger towards the bong Paul was filling. "Obviously. Uh...coke?"

Paul raises a brow. "Jumping pretty far, there."

"So sue me, my mom was an ex-Hippy and I'm a good suburban boy. I don't know a lot of drugs. Have you done it?"

"Yup. Got some left too, if you wanna try."

"Eugh. No. You see those people on TV?"

Paul shakes his head. "Worst case scenarios filmed for the ratings, and like, you have to be using for years, dude, before you ever start looking like that. Which, even if you stuff a pound of the shit up there every night for the rest of your life, you won't, because you ain't human."

Michael still hakes his head. "I don't think I'd like the feeling anyway."

Paul grins. "Yeah, you're spooksy enough as it is."

"I'm cautious, which has kept my ass out of the fire more than I can say about the rest of you idiots," Michael shoots back.

"...Technically it wasn't fire, it was buckshot-"

"-and the pair of you still have it embedded in your asses. Next. Uh...morphine?"

"David likes it, but I also think the guy could ask Dwayne to conk him over the head with a metal pipe and it would work just as well."

Michael cocks his head.

"Sleep aid for the supernatural, Mikey."

"Oh. Yeah. I guess he is kinda fitful, huh."

"He's got his reasons- oh for fuck's sake, light!"

Paul snarls lowly and bangs the end of the little zippo on his knee, face screwed up in almost childish frustration. Michael snorts but spares him the continued pain. He reaches into his own pocket and pulls out the one he's been carrying for a while.

Paul takes it gratefully, and doesn't say anything about how Michael doesn't carry any smokes (or doesn't have Marko's knack for setting things on fire randomly), and how it's a much older model, well-cared for and refillable. Made to last from a past era. Not his.

If he had, Michael may have just thrown it at him instead.

But he doesn't say anything, and Paul doesn't either, and the two laps into comfortable silence as the bowl is passed back and forth.

Michael hums, fingers toying with the frayed edges of a hole in the knee of his jeans. "Um...okay, uh. Oxycodone?"

Paul, leaning back against the pillows, blinks owlishly at him, clearly trying to connect some dots. "...I got some random pills from that one car we pulled-"

"No, no, like. Have you ever taken it?" Michael corrects, getting back to the subject they'd been talking about.

"Oh! Uh, nah, gave me hives."

"Well. Okay, I wasn't asking if you liked it, just that you tried it, dude. So that's a yes."

"Like, I think I get it, pain relief," Paul says, leaning even further back, to look up at the hanging tapestries and the garlands of shiny knickknacks and rackam strewn above him. "But it's like. Different. Than this."

He shakes the bowl a little. Michael reaches out a hand to stop him before he spilled something. "Feels...I don't know. Flatter. It's not up here."

Paul motions to his head, and the buzz he no doubt has going. Michael is feeling it too. He makes a small noise of acknowledgement, and leaves it.

"...DMT?"

In an instant, barely as the letters of the acronym had time to leave his mouth, Paul was up. His eyes wide enough even in his relaxed state to see the whites all around them, mouth set in a grimace enough he was almost showing his teeth.

"No. Fuck no, Mike. That shit is- damn, like, I don't wanna have to feel all the shit in reality, but like. I still wanna be in reality, you know?"

Michael shrugs a shoulder, and when the action makes his head feel like it won't stop tilting that way, he follows it and lets himself rest back against the pillow nest they'd made of the bedding.

"It's not that bad," he says, and Paul just shakes his head slowly.

And then stops. A look of consternation passing over his features.

He squints at Michael.

"...Did you-?"

"Well-"

"Oh my God, Mike!"

He's suddenly sitting even further up, crawling forward. (Michael having to take the bong from him and finally set it aside so they didn't dump hot ash on the bed sheets or spill water over everything.) Paul gets into his space, face half a smile, half pure disbelief.

"You said you'd never done anything stronger than shots and dope!"

Michael, to his credit, does imagine he looks at least a little sheepish.

"I just didn't remember it when I said that. It was a while ago. I also don't really remember much of it, just that. Things got weird, some...guy one of the people hosting the party knew brought this stuff in a thermos, but I was also tired as shit, so I think I just thought most of it was dreams."

Paul laughs, "Pretty spacey dreams, dude."

"Yeah, no kidding, it was like. Dreams in dreams...I think I thought the couch cushions were cracks in an endless pit and I was gonna fall in or something...you've never had it though?"

The laughter turns a little darker as Paul pulls back a bit, giving Michael some air. He flops against him though, head sinking down to rest on his belly.

"Not on your life. Big damn predator, out of my gourd on the spirit molecule runnin' around the woods at night? With the sensory stuff that we can feel without drugs? Can you fuckin' imagine..."

Michael supposes he could. Granted, the images in his mind were mostly funny, and in the bond, the boundaries of which were deteriorating with every passing moment, he passed those on to Paul. It got him a chuckle, and the sound played like low timpani in his head.

The conversation lapsed on.
