I've been enjoying iwtv quite a lot! I only read the first two books, but I haven't really noticed any major changes in vampire rules? But actually yeah, the one thing that kept me from watching it for a while was the change in time period. To be fair, they do use costumes more accurate to the book canon in the very last episode of the first season, but yeah! I miss those decadent clothes. I think the main thing that I've been enjoying about the series is hpw they're tackling the IWTV/TVL differences so far without making anyone an irredeemable villain or anything. It's been an interesting watch!

I just watched the first episode and I def see what you mean! I thought it was pretty decent as well, though I was a bit disappointed about the time period change too I think it's not an automatic dealbreaker to me. Interested to see how they resolve those discrepancies and whatnot between the books, as I definitely would have a difficult time doing that myself since Louis and Lestat narrate the same thing so incredibly differently half the time, lol

Buttercup - Extra I

Read Buttercup here ~2.6k words

From me: most of the asks and follow up requests were for showing how in love they are and how Harry' s going to treat her right after she wasn't for so long. Hopefully this will work 💕

Warnings: a little angsty, but fluffy overall. Maybe a little TOO fluffy. Nauseating, if you will. Like eating too many peanut buttercups.

Summary: Moving in next to Harry is one of the best thing that's ever happened to her.

It seemed like it had been raining for weeks. The wind provided an eerie soundtrack to her dreams. The rain sheeting against her window didn’t help either. She wished she had taken Harry’s offer to install a doorbell camera. However, she worried she would stare at it excessively, worried about who could be approaching her house.

Staring at the ceiling she sighed covering her eyes with her palms groaning to herself. The house was too quiet. Of course, she felt safe. It was just the wind and rain adding to her anxious mind. All she needed to do was fall asleep and in the morning everything would be fine. Her phone said it was just after two she still had ample time to sleep before her alarm went off.

Stupid Levi.

She thought she was a pretty independent person. Given that she kept her secret of leaving Levi for a couple months she felt she deserved the title. It took careful planning. Her heart had been in her throat for well over a year prior to her escape.

A little wind and rain shouldn’t have bothered her.

But it did. Every extra sound made it feel like someone was breaking in. They weren’t and she knew it. There was only one person that would try to break in and despite his threat, he hadn’t been back in the months since he showed up unexpectedly.

Two in the morning was too early. It had to be. There had to be a limit. For God’s sake they’d hardly been dating long at all. Swallowing, she put the phone to her ear and sighed as she listened to the quiet ring. One, two, not even three. “’Lo?” He murmured. Clearly, she woke him. Part of her thought she should just hang up and let him sleep. “Buttercup, baby, y’okay?” His voice clearer as she didn’t answer.

Great. Now he’s worried. “Hi,” she whispered.

He chuffed out a breath of laughter. “Hi kitten,” his voice sounded way too good. It should have been illegal to sound that good half asleep. What was the reason? “Y’okay, Buttercup?”

“Yes.”

There was a pause, and she hoped Harry fell back asleep so he wouldn’t worry about her. She could hang up and he wouldn’t even notice. She would tell him he dreamt the whole thing in the morning. “Jus’ wanted t’hear m’voice, then?” He asked.

She sighed heavily. “No...” she shook her head. “Not... no. I woke up and... forget it. I’m sorry. Go back to sleep.”

“Buttercup,” he practically cooed. “Tell me.”

His voice was too soothing. Too enticing. She was pretty sure as independent as she was that if Harry asked or said it, with his pretty voice, she was doomed. He could convince her to rob a bank just by asking. Or quit her job and rub his shoulders all day.

“M’jus’ gonna come over, kitten,” she heard the rustling of his comforter and sheets. The creak of his bedroom door and his quiet footsteps around his house.

“No!” She said quickly, sitting up and pressing a hand to her forehead. “That’s ridiculous, Harry.”

“No, s’not,” he yawned. “S’actually a great idea. This weather keeps waking me up. I need someone t’snuggle with if I want t’save any remainder of m’sleep. I’ll use m’key. See y’in a minute.”

He was gone before she could respond. She threw her covers off and hurried to the front door switching on every light she passed. As she reached the front door, Harry was closing and locking the deadbolt. “Hi, Buttercup,” he grinned, kicking his shoes off. He was soaked from the short walk, the tips of his curls that didn’t stay in his hood dripped on his face. His jacket dripped on her floor (not that she cared). “Let’s go t’bed,” he hung up his coat and pulled her by the hand as he walked back toward her room.

He switched off each light she just turned on, saying nothing about the impromptu visit. In her room he stripped his shirt off making her gulp because even though she had seen Harry many times without a shirt on, he was stunning and made her speechless. He slipped out of his sweats next and all but tossed himself beneath the covers. The poor thing seemed totally exhausted.

“C’mere, kitten,” he mumbled and lifted the covers for her to fall into his arms.

“I’m sorry,” she whispered when she was settled into his embrace. He pulled her in, so she was spooned into his body. He was so warm it was insane. She threaded her fingers between his and tucked his hand beneath her chin. His other hand outstretched below her pillow. His lips were at the back of her head. Softly he pressed kisses along the spot on her neck he could reach.

“What are y’apologizing for, Buttercup?”

“For waking you—”

“Y’didn’t wake me,” he interrupted. She huffed because she knew he was lying. Lying to make her feel better. “S’not a big deal,” he decided after a moment. “Getting t’sleep with you s’a great reward.”

“But you had to go out in the rain and it’s late—”

“M’not gonna melt, baby.” She huffed again, irritation evident in the tone of just her breath. “Talk t’me, kitten.”

“I was scared,” she whispered.

He inched his body closer to hers. It seemed impossible as the heat of his thigh on the back of hers felt like she was suntanning in the tropics. “Scared of what, Buttercup?”

She didn’t answer for a moment. “The weather was just loud I guess, and every little noise bothered—”

“M’sorry,” he mumbled and kissed her skin. “I’ll stay when we have bad weather from now—”

“Harry, that’s not your responsibil—”

“You’re m’girlfriend, Buttercup. S’not a chore or anything. S’what m’supposed to do and more than that, I want t’do it. Sleeping with you is one of m’favorite things,” he explained.

“It’s silly. I’m a grown, independent woman and I shouldn’t need my boyfriend to sleep with me because I’m scared of a little weather.”

There was a long pause. She would have thought Harry had fallen asleep if it wasn’t for the fact that he released her hand to use his fingers to trace the skin on her arm. “Y’not scared of weather, Buttercup,” he whispered. She felt her cheeks warm at his accurate statement. “Y’don’t have t’be brave for me. Y’had t’deal with a really scary thing and frankly I’m scared for you. Not because I think he’s going t’come back, but because I know y’think he might, and it scares you and s’not fair for you t’live like that. S’why I sleep with m’phone on full volume. I would sleep over every night if y’asked. I would love t’do that. Jus’ because y’don’t need a lot from me, doesn’t mean y’can’t ask nor deserve it. Y’can be independent and still need me,” he spoke slowly, his reassuring words felt elongated by the night. She felt her eyes sting with tears. Harry saw her so clearly and easily. He didn’t even have to see her to know he needed her. He was willing to lie to her about her own emotions so she wouldn’t feel embarrassed.

“Can you tell me you love me already so I can say it back?”

He chuckled and twisted her around until she faced him in the dark. He cupped her face stroking his thumbs along her cheeks. “Y’could have said it first at any time, baby.”

“Absolutely not. You would have said something mean if I said it first.”

“Mean? Like what?”

“Like... thank you or something, I don’t know. Some silly prank that would make you laugh.”

He chuckled. “S’a good idea.”

“Exactly. Laugh exactly like that. I’m not saying it first. I don’t care how ridiculous that is.”

He brushed his thumb on her lip and leaned in blindly in the dark to press a gentle, warm, firm, and lovely kiss on her lips. It made her dizzy and she couldn’t believe he liked her so much despite her bad attitude and her stubbornness. “I love you, Buttercup,” he whispered softly, his breath fanning across her face.

She couldn’t believe he loved her.

“Thank you,” she sighed dreamily. He snorted, shook his head, and kissed her forehead. “I love you, too.”

“Go t’sleep, Buttercup,” he murmured and tucked her into his chest. “S’jus’ a little wind and rain.”

She fell asleep before he finished his sentence.

*

When she came home from work, Harry was on her front step. However, he wasn’t waiting for her this time. His attention was fixed right next to the handle of her door. “Hi Buttercup,” he grinned over his shoulder as she approached. “How was your day?” He asked. She stared at him as he continued installing the doorbell camera. “What did y’have for lunch?”

She watched him silently as he worked. “What are you doing?”

He smiled sheepishly. “Nothing, baby,” he shrugged. “Jus’ making sure y’feel safe.”

She swallowed the lump in her throat. Harry made her feel so safe all the time. “How—”

“I should’ve done this when we discussed it the first time,” he shrugged one shoulder and then put the screwdriver he was using in the small toolbox he laid on the porch at his feet. “Can I see your phone?” He asked. She opened the bag on her shoulder and handed off her phone. He unlocked it with her passcode. “Now y’can see,” he put a hand on her lower back. “Y’can adjust the sensitivity. Y’probably don’t need t’know every time a squirrel runs across the porch,” he kissed her temple while the back of her eyes started to sting with the threat of tears. “What do y’want t’do for dinner, Buttercup?” She shrugged and turned toward him. She pressed her face into his chest. “Hey, s’matter, kitten?” He hummed kissing the top of her head. “Hey,” he chuckled. “What’s wrong?”

“You’re so nice,” she sniffled.

“Buttercup,” he sighed and squeezed her tighter. “S’what a boyfriend is supposed t’do. I love taking care of you,” he promised her. “S’normal things t’do for you. S’what y’do when we’re in love.”

“I don’t do anything like this for you.”

“Oh, Buttercup, s’not true...” he frowned. “Y’make dinner, y’rub my back, y’made our garden look so much better than I ever could’ve done. And, not t’mention y’kiss me and let me do naughty things t’your pretty body,” he smiled impishly. “So y’do sweet things all the time.”

“But you make me feel safe and I don’t—”

“Buttercup, your existence makes me feel safe. S’my job t’make y’feel safe.”

“Are you guys making out in front of the doorbell to save for later?” Louis called from the yard. “That’s weird.”

Harry flipped him off and tipped her chin up. “S’a good idea,” he winked and pressed his lips against hers.

“I love you,” she sighed.

“Thank you,” he grinned.

She shoved him and he chuckled, pulling her back to his chest. “I love you so much, Buttercup.”

*

Harry woke up to the smell of something coming from the kitchen. It seemed unlikely that Louis was cooking something because the last time he tried, he thought they were going to need a fire extinguisher. He headed down the hall. “El are y’cooking breakfast?” He yawned rubbing his eye as he did.

“Not quite,” she giggled.

Harry perked up excitedly and quickened the last steps to the kitchen. “Good morning, Buttercup, t’what do I owe the pleasure?” He asked, coming up behind her at the counter. He pressed kisses to the crook of her neck while she worked with the waffle maker. There was an upturned bowl beside her little work station. “This is sweet of you, Buttercup. S’it our anniversary already and I forgot?”

“No,” she smiled. “I just, wanted to do something nice for you.”

“You’re always nice t’me, baby.”

“Well really nice then.”

She pulled the waffle from the iron and placed it under the bowl with three others before putting the bowl back to keep them warm. Harry’s couldn’t stop his hands from roaming her hips and sides. “M’in love with this,” he sighed dreamily. He tucked his face into her neck and wrapped his arms around her waist.

“Me making breakfast?” She laughed.

“S’jus’ nice, Buttercup. I would never expect you t’make me breakfast, but s’jus’ thoughtful. You’re perfect.”

“Do you want something extra? You’re being super complimentary.”

“I love you, kitten. Take the compliments,” he chuckled, his words mumbled and obstructed by the way he pressed his mouth to her skin. She focused on the waffle again and remained quiet for a few moments. Then Harry realized the error of his words. “S’probably hard to take the compliments, hmm?” She shrugged one shoulder but didn’t say anything; confirming exactly what Harry already knew. “Well, s’a good thing I like complimenting you. S’good practice for you t’get used to it,” he peppered her cheek with kisses. “Can I help y’with something?” He asked.

She smiled. “No, I’m just going to put this on the table.”

Harry was so distracted by how pretty she looked in his kitchen early in the morning, making him breakfast, he didn’t even notice how cute the table looked. There were flowers in a vase in the middle. Four plates and sets of silverware set up like they were at a restaurant. There were strawberries, blueberries, chocolate chips, whipped cream, and butter. Orange juice and a tray of four coffees from their favorite shop nearby.

“You’re incredible,” he pulled her away from the waffle iron as she set the last one. He wrapped one arm around her waist, cupped her face with the other and tipped her back to kiss her. Her lips were so soft and so warm. his heart started pounding like he had never kissed anyone before. She tasted so good, sweeter than the yummy waffles they were about to eat. He couldn’t help but smile as he kissed her. He used to love pranking her; the joy he felt was unmatched when he made her grumpy. God, kissing her was triple the dopamine, quadruple the serotonin. It felt almost illegal to be so happy. It spread all through his body.

“Harry,” she giggled against his mouth. “Breakfast.”

“You taste better,” he mumbled not pausing his kisses against her mouth.

“At least taste the waffles before you insult them,” she whispered pulling back slightly while he dotted kisses along her face while she spoke.

He squeezed her tight to his body, tucking his face back into her neck as he did. “Hey Buttercup?” His voice muffled once more by her skin and his reluctance to move from her body.

“Yeah?”

It warmed Harry how easily she answered to the little name. She was lovely. Perfect. The best thing to happen to Harry. While he hated why she had to move into their neighborhood, he was so grateful her pretty self created a home right next door. He pulled back to cup her face, skimmed his thumb on her cheek. “You deserve compliments.”

He didn’t follow it up with anything cute. Didn’t even compliment her afterwards. He wanted it to sink into her brain—even if it only sank in an inch. He would tell her every day. She deserved all the best and Harry was happy to remind her of such and do whatever he needed to make her feel that way.

“Thank you,” she whispered.

He kissed her forehead. “I’ll go get El and Lou.”

“Harry?”

“Hmm?”

“I love you lots.”

“Me too, Buttercup. So much,” he winked heading down the hall.

helloooo sweet angels. welcome to the show!

I tend to answer and talk about a lot of bbg/2015 things on here and seem to attract a lot of newer fans & Larries (which is wonderful!!!) but I thought I’d just share some resources that you can refer to so there’s not so much back and forth in my inbox.

Arden (cosmicleeds) makes fantastic, super digestible videos recapping years, bbg, rbb & sbb and the big gay war etc., and I think it’s a really valuable way to kind of get your head around some stuff as socials, especially Twitter, have a lot of misinformation, fighting, wrong timelines, stuff that’s already been debunked etc.

so, here are a couple of faves that I recommend newer larries, or people who want refreshers, to watch as it’s a little less overwhelming than the 15k word essays we have on these topics that are hard to read about when you haven’t kind of been introduced to it initially

The Larry Stylinson Timeline - 2015

Larry denials and why they’re meaningless

RBB, SBB, & the Big Gay War

The difference between larry and the rest of 1D

there is a video on each year of Larry since 2010 too, so you can feel like you were there for it!

as always, I also highly recommend Allie’s (skepticalarrie) tags post if you want more of a read instead of a video, with so many masterposts and specific info on everything larry, and also louis and Harry individually

if you’re looking for fic recs or general larry/1d chats and a heap of receipts, Gina (twopoppies) is also very wonderful

and obviously there are a million other fantastic blogs and videos to watch, but I highly recommend those to start off with at least as they are based off facts and are very clear, as opposed to some wild reaching that goes on these days in certain parts of twitter etc.

we’re all here to be welcoming, have a chat, and be here for you to navigate this wild part of the fandom, and while there can be some nasty folks out there, remember that this is a welcoming place where we love love and we are a community who supports each other. the way it should be.

so, welcome baby larries, you’re in for a wild ride!

(also I’m very excited for this year’s recap - I want something crazy to go down the end of this year because damn rewatching 2015 took me right back to the days!)

[seasurfacefullofclouds1]

I’m an OG fan. I ship L/H but how ships are meant to be - your fave pairing, fun, fantasy, fandom activity, not something to discuss publicly much less with the celebs - but I never interacted much in fandom bc I disliked the bizarre obsession with ships being “real”. The “truth” of their sex/love lives is none of our business & was never their value to me. (i’d be much more interested in the truth about their friendships/coworker dynamics but we’ll never get it.) I drifted from the fandom when they went solo bc I saw how Harry was “Timberlake’ing”. No one seemed to see how calculated & ruthlessly ambitious he is, vapid, & fame obsessed. how he only befriends/dates rich, well-connected people. It’s refreshing to learn that blogs like yours exist - that people see him & see what he did to the other guys. Zayn, Louis, Liam - were all at times villainized and scapegoated while he’s treated like a naive princess who can do no wrong. His interviews are so pointless bc he never answers anything honestly. he’d never admit to being a cokehead who purposely deceived & fucked over the others to make sure he could launch his solo career without competition. Zayn tried to outmaneuver him but didn’t have the powerful team behind him & has too much integrity to ever be the kind of “star” Harry is. tbh I enjoy how much it irks harry that Zayn sees through him. It’s wild how sincere the others stayed, how they matured, how they have bigger priorities than money or fame. Harry mimicked Louis’ personality when they were younger, pretending he couldn’t wait to have kids & marry - when really he just wanted to be as rich, promiscuous, and famous as humanly possible. He bootlicks anyone in showbiz, so he has a glowing reputation in the industry - it’s laughable. “TPWK” unless it’s your bandmates who you can’t deign to acknowledge unless it benefits you - hosting SNL or winning an award? ok, mention the band so you get headlines. But like one of their promo posts or even follow them back on IG? heaven forbid, bc that won’t benefit him more than them. It shows his true character that he’s SO successful but still won’t be openly supportive or even seen with them. I don’t think he’s evil but I do think he’s lost to the industry… which is sad, bc there’s once a lot of sweetness there. His eyes have lost their sparkle; he traded it for “success”.

Hi anon,

I was reading this ask and nodding my head right along each sentence. A lot to unpack here, but mostly you’ve said everything I’ve tried to say. I’m not sure if anyone is listening, to be honest! Like you wrote, blogs who don’t worship Harry never become popular. So here I am talking to the air lol. Insanity.

I don’t think Harry is evil either. I think he realizes the trade-offs now, watching his ex-bandmates’ careers slowly build with intentions very different from his, their old ties fading to nothing except when tragedy yokes them back together. He has gazillions in wealth, industry kissing his feet, a lot of women (+ a few men) fantasizing about him, but nothing inside, the lights gone from his eyes years ago. It must feel awkward to stand next to his bandmates again?

Here’s the thing. I’m sure in every circumstance, forever for the foreseeable future, Louis is always going to be the bigger man and speak well of Harry. No matter how many times Louis refutes the idea of Larry, Louis has always said he’s proud of Harry, and I am sure he means it. 100%. No matter what Harry says or does, Louis considers him part of One Direction, his band, and that concept is sacrosanct to him. “We move as one.”

What Louis has in his heart is worth a million Manchester Co-ops. It is priceless. No one can take it away— no Kardashian money, no Rolling Stone cover, no Anna Wintour, no A-list actress or acting role. Nothing. What Louis has is the feeling of loyalty and unity that is the epitome of the song he wrote, Strong. “I don’t care, I’m not scared of love.” It’s not romantic love, at least not anymore, but what Louis describes in Only The Brave— the love that comes from the deepest pain, from uncomfortable truths, alienation, grief— broken beaks and dead birds— the love that requires moral courage. “Because love is only for the brave.” Louis earned it by going through fire, the love that endures because he chose to respect it, intentionally, over all the other things.

Last, Zayn’s intentionality is also transparent for those who open their eyes and see. I’m glad to see that Zayn is touring, and choosing to play the same smaller venues as Louis when he first started his tour. I’m also glad to see Louis communicating via social media. It’s not actual friendship, but a step! It means so much.

Louis and Zayn aren’t perfect people— far from it— but they chose to stay grounded and chose to preserve some part of their humanity. I know they haven’t always been their best selves. But who they are, especially who Louis is, is so endearing, and so inspiring.

Sjokz. she'd have the loveliest sleekest gold shimmer dress and wear it whenever lec overlaps with VGK gamedays. she'd slay so fucking hard.

[greedandenby]

I would also be interested in your favorites for Assad Zaman and Delainey Hayles, it just seemed like a lot to ask about four people at once, so I thought I'd start with Jacob and Sam.

Hi again, nonny!

Okay, so i'm going to do the same as with Jacob and Sam, one scene for each season (with Bailey Bass for s1).

First, Assad.

I LOVED the way Assad portrayed (fake) Rashid in s1. Even when he was in the background, he was such a compelling presence. My fave scene is probably the one where Daniel confronts him after Louis drinks from him. So much is expressed in his eyes. You can literally see him holding back, see the thoughts racing through his head. I don't know how actors do it.

I loved Paris Armand in s2, but to me the best performances from Assad are the ones with Eric. The dynamic between Armand and Daniel is one of the most... fascinating pieces of storytelling ever, both in the books and in the show. And the way the two actors manage to convey the tenseness of it, the pull of it, even without words, is so compelling (and extremely cunty). The scene where Armand and Daniel are left alone at the start of ep.3 is the most perfect example of this to me. The LOOKS they shoot at each other. Lord help me i am weak. I could watch it on repeat for hours.

Now for Claudia, first portrayed by Bailey Bass.

My fave one from s1 is definitely the chess game scene. It's a perfect scene in and of itself, but to me it's also Bailey's strongest performance of the season.

And now for Delainey in s2. Delainey truly blew me away in all of her scenes, but the one where she shines the most is (unfortunately) one of the hardest ones to watch, when Claudia is giving Louis details about Bruce so that they can lie to the coven. It just drives a stake through my heart every time. Delainey delivers it with an incredible balance of confidence and vulnerability. The small detail where her hand shakes ever so slightly as she's applying lipstick is devastating. Incredible acting.

I know you didn't ask for this one specifically, but i'm going to add a special mention to Eric for this moment in 2x5. He has said in interviews that he'd gone places with this show where he'd never been as an actor, and i think this is what he means. I'm so glad he got to play these depths of emotion.

[nalyra-dreaming]

I really worry about this fandom not understanding that Jacob/Louis and Sam/Lestat are the lead actors/characters of the show and that Loustat/the Unholy Family is the beating heart of it. I think a lot of fandom upset/confusion goes back to this and this will cause further fracturing in the fandom. I can empathize with show only fans who don't understand this, because I would be upset too if I didn't know this. I understand that not every fan is aware of the books and not every fan reads/listens to the interviews from the cast/crew, but Rolin has said that this is the Louis, Lestat, and Loustat show since the beginning. He's made that very clear in his interviews imo. I just wish, instead of doomposting, people would read/listen to what the showrunner is saying (and the rest of the cast/crew). And if some fans don't want it to be the Loustat show then they're allowed to have that opinion, but there comes a point where fans need to come to grips with what the show has been since the beginning (and what the cast/crew have been saying since the beginning) and move on. Again, I can sympathize with fans who thought this was the Loumand show, for example, and are confused/upset that it's not. I would be bummed too. But, Loustat and Devil's Minion are not only endgame in the books, but Rolin has talked about those two being the ships of the show. I'm a happy camper, because I love Louis, Lestat, Loustat, and the Unholy Family, but there comes a point where if you hate Lestat, Loustat, or the fact that Lestat is the lead character alongside Louis then maybe it's time to protect your mental health and move on. And it doesn't mean that Devil's Minion and Armand and other characters and relationships won't get developed, it just means that this is not what the heart of the show is about. I hope I'm not being mean and I'm sorry for the long rant. I just wish people would listen to Rolin, to Jacob, to Sam, etc. and move on from a show they hate or a show that isn't what they want it to be when it's been clear (imo) since the beginning what it's about.

(Oh, all good, my rants were way worse *coughs*)

Yeah - you know, I was watching the SDCC 2022 panel the other day - which, btw, should be considered mandatory viewing imho - but Rolin said something there:

"Spoilers for a 50 year old book I guess."

... that.

I get that not everyone does research, and I get that not everyone reads interviews. But those who do not, and who do not wish to take a look at the source material... should maybe then not throw dirt around because of things they convinced themselves would be happening?!, and which are now simply... not.

Everyone on this show has been very blunt about what they're doing - the IWTV podcast episode with Rolin - post 1x07(!!) - also is very clear on where they're headed.

And I find it always so very interesting, that those screaming loudest about their faves not being regarded as they ostensibly want them to.... never actually listen to them.

Because the cast, too, has been very clear on things, as you also point out.

None of this, neither certain actors being co-leads, nor the shifts in lead or narration nor the pairings come as a surprise.

This will only get worse the closer we get to s3, the clearer the picture becomes I think. And then, those who are - by now(!) - in willful denial, will have to face the music.

Literally, even, given what s3 will bring :)

But as that subset of fans seems not interested in informing themselves, there is no way that this further fracturing can be avoided, unfortunately. The show set itself up for this, with the way it did things, planned and unplanned.

It is what it is now. Unfortunately.

[watermelonlicker]

Hi, so this is random and not about larry but I was browsing through the iwtv tag and saw your old post so I recognized you cause I follow you(so you're the only one I felt safe enough to send this to) but I was just wondering since I haven't watched the show and I want to but I'm just scared that it may not be worth it if there would be other ships besides loustat which is my favorite, and I know there's an upcoming season but I'm not sure if they would have enough scenes from what I've read. What do you think and if you could share any thoughts or suggestions I'd love to hear about that before watching the show.

hi!! well lolll i’ve had a journey with iwtv lemme tell you and if the post you’re referring to is that fucking lestat post i’m already bracing myself to be annoyed by even more notifs when he does some fuck shit in s3 djdjdjdj

anyways so while i do not recommend joining the fandom as it is a cesspool of racism and is very much not fun, i do recommend watching the show bcos it is soooooo fucking good. like it is a gothic masterpiece and is single handedly responsible for the vampire renaissance in my not humble opinion when it comes to that show bcos it is the best thing on television. i am a loustat shipper thru and thru and they dominate s1 so i dont think you have to worry about scenes. s2 not as much bcos the focus is on louis (but he’s my favorite character so i was perfectly fine with that and im biased so idk if lestat is your fave you might struggle) but les is still very much a presence if that makes sense

now for other ships besides loustat unfortunately yes there are many. lestat is a bit of hoe but louis is his constant if that makes sense like he doesn’t love anyone but louis but there are a lot of rival ships in the fandom which makes fandom dynamics annoying as always you know it’s nothing new. louis also has a love interest in s2 which… if you can even call it that. and tw in s1 there is something very abusive lestat does to louis in episode 5 that pretty much rocked the fandom.

now for the upcoming season i have no idea and that’s part of the reason i fully transitioned back to larrying. there’s a lot of weird shit going on bts with this fyc press run sam is on (the actor who plays lestat) who has been placed front and center for promo and jacob (the actor who plays louis) and all of the side cast of color have not been included in press at all which is unlike how it was before (don’t even get me started on the lack of money invested in the show when jacob was still the face vs sam now being the face i have many fucking posts ranting about amc’s racism)

it does seem s3 will be very much the lestat show as it is based on his pov book the vampire lestat (the producers promised louis would still be a main character but idk how much i trust that anymore) like the wave of trumpism in the us and the roll back on diversity going on down there idk how much that will effect loustat in the upcoming season. they have also taken extremely long to write s3 like literally about a year which makes me think rewrites happened.

i will unfortunately be watching to find out bcos that show has me in a chokehold but if you end up not wanting to i feel the first two seasons are a completed story so it will be fine if you stop there. ♥️

last november i was in china when my little brother called me and told me to come home. over summer my nan, my mums mum, had passed away before i had managed to get back to see her and my mum, my best friend in the world, had a heart attack soon after. i was with her then. we went to the funeral. she got better. we saw robbie williams live. we went out drinking and to the beach and watched coyote ugly and la la land together, our fave movies.

when my brother called me to tell me mum had cancer i knew it was bad. i lost my best friend to cancer when we were just 16 years old. thats never a good word. but its my mum. and to quote her days after her own mums death 'i always knew one day my mum would die but i never knew she would, like, actually die'.

i knew in the back of my head why i was going home but i didnt believe it. i watched spiderverse for like the third time on the plane. i went to grab my suitcase and laughed when i realised i was at the wrong shanghai - gatwick conveyor belt. who knew there were two at almost the same time.

then my brother, my baby brother, who is 30 next year but was 28 and always our baby brother, called me and my life is never ever going to be the same. i knew the moment he called. and i sat on the floor at gatwick airport shaking and people kept coming over to ask if i was okay and finally my sister and my aunties, my mums sisters, arrived and they were let into the baggage area when they explained and picked me off the floor.

i dont think this is a grief that has settled yet. i was meant to see louis that night. i havent listened to a song by him since despite his music getting me through some of my hardest times. my denial, she'll walk through the door and say this was all a joke, phase went on for months after we planned and executed a funeral and wake on the beach in malta. i made a great playlist, i wrote a great eulogy. i did that but it didnt properly sink in why.

i still, almost a full year on, wake up and think about messaging her to tell her how im feeling and check in on her.

my mum used to send me one direction news she found on facebook every day. harrys got a new album emmy did you know? and i was like no mum wow thank you (of course i already knew). she loved niall and we were going to see him live together. she wasnt a big fan of louis' music but ached for what he'd been through. i woke up the day after hearing about liam expecting a text from her checking in because she got me 1d tickets in 2014 for my 23rd birthday and she brought me merch and the dvd of the movie -

my mum who hated the beatles because they were too mainstream but loved what i loved because i loved it and was passionate about it. god she would have been crushed for me today. she would have been heart broken.

and i think this has hit me like a train not only because everyone who knows me knows how much i loved liam as if he was my own friend, but also because this past year has been so full of grief i dont always know how to get out of bed. my dads mum passed a few months ago. my family are wrecked with it. this past year has been a nightmare we can't get out of.

i always related to liam as someone who was bullied at school and as someone who suffers from mental illness and has suffered from alcoholism, thankfully, for me, something ive managed to come back from and im sober and i always hoped for that for him. its such a hard fucking mountain to climb and i didn't have to deal with the fame side of it and this whole other thing he had to carry. i always wanted him to get better but in the back of my head i had this feeling, i had this fear that i would one day log into tumblr and see the worst.

i still cant, and im sure for a long time won't, believe this real. thats one of my boys. we were very much meant to get old together. i wanted to see him get better. i cant begin to comprehend the fact he wont have that chance. this still doesnt feel real to me man. thats my boy.

just a few days ago I was in a convenience store and they were playing heart meets break and i was jamming and excited to hear my boy in a store. i keep remembering its happened, and i look at the photo on my bedside of me and my mum at the robbie williams concert and i could really do with her right now. a link to a facebook article and her over use of emojis - a shocked and crying face and a broken heart. because what else can express this?

i know i didnt know him but i always had the comfort of knowing of him, of listening to his music and watching his videos and feeling less alone in a cruel and lonely world.

its okay to be a fucking mess, if you can take time out please do. i wish this world allowed more of that. after my mum everyone had to go back to jobs and life and it still blows my mind that i was walking down the street then and today and everything was the same. the world should pause but it doesn't.

at the end of all of this, one day this might settle and make sense but right now it doesnt at all and thats how these things work. i love you all, this is not something i thought we would have to face until we had all grown old and spent all of our money on reunion tickets and seen our boys grow old and live their lives.

give people you love a hug, tell people you love that you care about them, work out problems and differences if you can and make the most of it. you never know how much time you have.

Nobody asked but I logged into my old wattpad account and found my g/t collection so here’s a few recs that are absolute masterpieces :

• ‘Man on the Inside’ series by peachnewt

Summary: Louis, the coffee addict. Will, the fanboy.

These two are Agents partnered under the Watch.

They get along as well as a toaster in a bath. When a mission involving a madman goes wrong, the two of them become physically closer than ever.

And we don't mean the "handcuffed" trope.

Running from fanatics, and against the clock, keeping the Watch organization under wraps might cost one of them their lives.

- one of my faves, classic grumpy x sunshine having to be in forced proximity with grumpy being able to size shift! the lore is so deep but also not hard to follow and all relates back to our grumpy size shifter

• ‘The Shrink Program’ by Shayni

Summary: Maddison Tramph makes terrible life choices and is shrunken as a result.

To return to normal, she must reform her behaviour with the help of an estranged best friend.

Resulting in even worse life choices.

- I cannot even begin to put into words how well written and planned this story is. not only is there tons of g/t but the story lore itself is so insane. i gasped at so many plot twists chat it’s crazy, i think this deserves to be a physical book with an award but that’s js me

• ‘A Giant Mountain’ by Soya_Sauce

Summary: After trying to run away, Emelie gets captured by a giant. He brings her to his world where she cannot escape. The giant teases her, so she learns to dislike him. But after much time together, those feelings start to change.

and the sequel : ‘Here We Go Again’

Summary: It's the beginning of Émelie's and Nathaniel's senior years, and both are struggling. Emelie can't seem to stay out of trouble and might lose her scholarship.

And Nathaniel's staying up day and night, working on a part time job and studying.

Emelie gets suspended, again, for an entire week. She wanted to spend that time with Nathaniel, but let's just say things didn't go according to plan.

- this one’s really cute with a well written story too. the main g/t couple r so sweet after they get over their little big bad giant teasing stage

• ‘The Giant’ by Baileyschatz

Summary: A princess is given to a giant prince as humans try to make peace with the giants. Will she be treated as a pet, a prisoner, or a love interest. Read to find out.

- classic enemies to lovers sort of trope with the giant prince absolutely pining over the tiny princess but not being the best at showing it however it is a very cool story nonetheless

• ‘The Next to be Taken’ by DezWeasel767

Summary: Ever wondered why some people are afraid of midnight or always portrays it as a bad time of night?

It's for what lurks at night. It's because of the reason, why l've been running for a part of my life.

I've been bullied durning the day, and then hunted at night by these monsters.

I always looked at them as they were the enemy.. but sometimes, what you think are your enemies, or your childhood bogey man, could actually turn out to be your only true family..

- parental g/t with two sweet giant brothers taking care of a whole bunch of human kids. it’s a really cute story however if i remember correctly there is some fatal vore right at the very end and not really described in detail but you can definitely skip that chapter!

This is it for now! I do have wayyy more don’t worry but these are my top favourites for now! Enjoy!

One of my fave takes is like when someone watches the end of s2 and their takeaway is “yeah but Lestat did still try to kill Louis and Claudia though”. Like you watched the whole show and that’s what you got out of that. You really came away with that Louis spent 80 years away from Lestat only to suddenly leave his penthouse, get on a plane and find Lestat in New Orleans, and your takeaway is really that you think Lestat is actually responsible for the trial. Ok.

Never mind the fact that IWTV & TVL came out in the 70s and 80s respectively, and this information is pretty widely available. But I don’t even think you need the books to tell you what’s going on. Hell, Daniel tells you what’s going on. It’s the big reveal of the first two seasons! There’s almost like an intentional obtuseness about deciding to refuse to believe it’s true. It’s annoying

Between the Power Lines by @tackytigerfic (M, 3k)

For Harry Potter, all roads eventually lead to Draco Malfoy. Or: this is not an AU! It's just Harry and Draco meeting by chance in an imported food shop in Connecticut and going on a road trip together. Featuring motels, cacti, Americana, and a hefty dose of pining.

In New Orleans, they got drunk on Bourbon Street, and Malfoy danced on his own (arms bare, laughing; Harry could have watched him all night) and later on, so late it was almost morning, they let themselves into the St Louis Cemetery—Malfoy unpicking the lock so sweetly—and walked around until the sky was pink-edged with the promise of another day’s heat. Then they sat on the steps of a crypt, watched over by sightless eyes of the statue of an angel. She looked exhausted rather than sad, Harry thought, and that made a lot of sense when he thought about his own longstanding, dull-edged grief.

It’s been ages (or 2 years) since I last wrote a rec for Tacky (I usually write for other readers, except when I’m reccing friends - then I write for them) and their birthday was the perfect excuse to put my reccing muscles back to work. I almost bailed out because I know this is one of T’s own faves and “what if I don’t do it justice?” but that tired angel banner has been sitting in my drafts for 3 long years and it deserves a proper rec!

Where to even begin? Anyone who knows Tacky is aware of their superb prose - rich and nuanced, compassionate, effortlessly funny, with a strong sense of place and a soft spot for suds scenes and filthy m-rated sex I mean devastating romance. Their writing breathes heart and personality, very much like Tacky themself. So knowing that this fic came out exactly as they intended it to should be enough to make you go read this right now, but in case you need further incentive, see below all the reasons why this oneshot is so special to me:

1. The *vibes*: if you thought that 3k is nowhere near enough to build the sexiest, most intriguing Americana atmosphere you’ve seen, think again. The aesthetics are impeccable here, decorating the beautiful and strange landscape - cacti and cheap motels included - into something peaceful and desolate, an overarching melancholy making it even more compelling. The dialogue is brilliant but the silences are just as loud and meaningful, with a quiet intimacy and a dreamlike quality that make you feel as if you're intruding a memory.

2. The romance: at this point everyone and their dog know that pining!Harry is Tacky's jam - they luxuriate in making us all suffer with him until the realization that Draco has been loving him back all along slaps us in the face. Harry is so stupid and desperate and wanton, I love it. And the way Tacky reinvents this delicious trope to make it work in new angsty ways blows my mind. Imo the slow burn is particularly effective here, a feat in any 3k story, because the narrative gives us so much character insight. We learn all the little things that make these two lonely boys tick as we watch their ever-changing perception of each other evolve from a tentative truce to reluctant confidants to a comfortable, easy love that comes naturally and earned. We often get those bits of information from imagery and emotions alone, no dialogue needed, and a road trip is the best way to explore those dynamics in a smooth, unhurried pace.

3. The journey: this is truly an immersive journey, not only physical as we keep jumping from one destination to the next, but also emotional, as we learn more about their vulnerabilities and desires the more they gravitate towards each other. This story shows that being far away from home can be both freeing and grounding, when you’re stuck with your hot enemy someone who knows about your darkest hour. It gives you the chance to heal and visualize a different future without forgetting your past or letting go of that which has shaped who you are. I love their chance encounter and how this poignant 30k love story is told in such impressive economy of words.

TL;DR: if you’re a short form fan and prone to melancholy like me believe me when I say it doesn’t get any better than this. The whole road trip shebang mixing grief, romance and nostalgia wrapped in Tacky’s lush writing is a gift to any reader and an elegant work of art. Enjoy!!!

top 5 horror media :)

this was sooo hard this was so so hard so i tried to pick a different one for different (non-exhaustive) readings of the question

#1 the diary of laura palmer: this is the only book i can ever remember having to stop reading because it scared me so much

#2 ginger snaps: fave movie lol

#4 vampz 2004: i love the sfx in this theyre so silly; though idk if i would recommend the movie itself without the caveat that its ending is terrible enough to taint the entire viewing experience

#3 iwtv 106: duh

#4 attack the block: horror movie ive watched most in my life maybe only with the exception of ginger snaps

play toys with me ^_^

i want to talk for a moment away from prying eyes (casual scrollers) but iwtv 106 is on the list for a multitude of reasons

1) the episode is shaped forever by my friend goat's writing about claudia and lestat's relationship and this line in particular:

There were many horrible truths between them that proved too difficult to pull back fast enough. With Lestat gone and Louis confined to recovery in small spaces, the house (which Claudia had cleaned and she’d rearranged the shelves and took books to her coffin and filched fancy pens to trade with her own fancy pens when she bored of them and when it came time to decide what to leave as a reminder and what to put away SHE had made the final decision SHE DECIDED IT–) had finally become her house. Lestat crossed the threshold and her house cowered and creaked under the weight of his boot over its floors. She watched him do it and watched Louis flinch when he saw himself in her mind’s eye, superimposed and cracking with the foundation.

2) i think claudia train scene is the most viscerally frightening in the season, made more horrific by how ppl discuss it

3) the youre-coming-back-and-its-the-end-of-the-world effect aka the famously dubbed soulmate studies which to me is the scariest thing in the world its interpreting horror in my rawest sense of the world #myrawfeelings im very relationship-averse im too selfish i dont like the thought of compromising whether on my personhood or anything else which is perhaps an uncharitable reading of love but i do think it is an honest one. and this of course manifests in the joys of soulmateposting :-)

i really debated including this scene

frm my shit yaoi from a thing thats bad (ignore that he cant act) even though ive relegated robrondale to the abyss because it really really does scare me (i also think theres an element of horror in the constrictions of the media's form (soap opera) but thats for a different 2 note post) like i watched him send his brother insane and i'd still have him back in a shot ... Hiiii the thought of .. what is that jacob anderson quote .. 'until one of them perishes, they’re destined to dance forever' to fall blindly into with that someone and now youre trapped. and the thing with soulmates is that the conceit so often necessitates a return -- the promise of water under the bridge for the unforgiveable -- which is utter HELL...? maybe there is beauty in a second chance but not for me #grudgekeeper also i think ive made my stance clear on the how soulmate studies is almost always an act of (intentional) abuse apologia im never passing judgement ldpdl or aaron (two names that shld never be in a sentence together) for having found themselves in these situations just expressing my horror at what i do unfortunately think im susceptible to . Also the soul isnt real LOL
