I've been catching up with Helluva Boss and Hazbin Hotel and all I can think about is how MC who watches both shows can't help but be kind of relieved that Devildom isn't like in the Vivzieverse

Lemme add; MC being soooo relieved that hell is actually fairly normal- like nobody is running around the streets shooting people or cutting off heads. The restaurants are all really nice and it’s almost always chilly outside, all in all not too bad.

And ofc how the demons themselves look!!! MC straight up laughing when Lucifer introduces himself, because he’s not a short guy with a ridiculously top hat! He just looks like a guy, a tall guy at that- and sure he has horns and wings sometimes. But mostly he just looks normal?? wow-

and the differences between the Mammon’s and Asmodeus’- I can’t even imagine how relieved MC’s going to be jskjsk

Although it’d be really funny if MC is still half expecting a demon with a TV for a head or an owl face to randomly pop up somewhere- like it’s good that most demons look so ‘normal’ for the most part…. But it’s also just a bit tinyyyy disappointing they don’t look that ‘demonic’.

Soooo…. How early do we think the Bad Batch were sent out into the war? Because it’s very sad to think about, and I’ve also seen this explored with some other clones as well (Tup and Dogma), but I also can’t erase the somewhat funny mental image of some high-ranking members of the GAR having this elite, special force team coming to help them on an impossible mission, the group succeeding, and when its time to finally meet and thank them it’s literally just some guys whose voices haven’t fully changed and haven’t even lost all the baby fat in their faces yet.

i’m fully aware that the show likely won’t go on long enough to adapt the trinity gate era, but it’s material i’d love to see the writers work with. armand and louis’ relationship while complex and in flux throughout the series is very much in the periphery after interview, with just scraps eluding to what the deal is (everyone being in miami together post qotd, armand’s complicated fondness towards louis in tva, the establishment of trinity gate). like it’s already fascinating that the extended cast of vampires of lestat’s circle continue to care for each other and maintain close bonds in spite of everything they’ve done to each other, but for louis and armand in particular, it’s wild that they end up specifically end up cohabiting and romantically involved again when their first relationship ended with such utter coldness. i think the books left a major gap here for the show possibly to explore; how did they come together again? how does louis view armand after years of largely distance? i’d love to see an arc equivalent to the establishment of trinity gate a few seasons down the line with an armand that’s gone through character development that brings him to a state of minimum self awareness and a louis who’s still secure in his vampiric nature. and they can come back to each other again and rediscover the original spark of paris, though without the restriction of the coven as institution looming (but of course there’s still scars left from the trial and claudia’s death and some lingering fear and mistrust on both ends) i’d be particularly interested in combining this era with the aftermath of armand’s suicide attempt in memnoch; maybe louis is somewhat begrudgingly assisting benji and sybelle in nursing armand back to health out of a sense of obligation after a smaller reconciliation in season 3 or 4 as part of queen of the damned, and the whole time is conflicted by feelings of lingering fondness that he’s rediscovered and bitterness born out of specifically the knowledge of armand erasing the memories of his own attempt, and it grows from there, first volatile then (somewhat) easy but in a genuine way, no performance like in dubai, just them seeing each other wholly for the first time. falling in love again, but also for the first time without masks. also daniel and lestat can be around ig. polyamory!

hey romance does feel different than friendship actually and I’m tired of people trying to tell me I’m wrong for this 🙂‍↔️ respectfully, no, I know my own experiences, my own heart, and while both types of relationships are important to me and share some—SOME!!!—commonalities, they do actually inherently feel different to me and I interact with those dynamics differently from one another and they hold different places in my heart. and frankly I’m no longer going to let others’ efforts to make me feel guilty for that or like I’m wrong or lesser-than somehow, succeed. no babes, I know me best, thank you but no thank you 🙂‍↕️ you do you but that in its very essence means trusting me to do me too. but whether or not others do trust me to know myself, truly idc because I do know myself, regardless of whether they validate that. I know me and I know my own heart and that’s really what matters 💓

I just want to let you know that I am obsessed with the reverse AU where Claudia is the adult and loustat are the teens in the family. It's such an interesting idea and loustat look so cute in your art! Thank you for making it

Thank you so so much, I’ve very glad you enjoy both the idea and the sketches for it!!! I gotta admit I’m kinda obsessed with it too, I would LOOOOOVE to read some fics exploring this new, very different dynamic! And, like, it obviously changes the plot as drastically as everything else, but wouldn’t it be interesting to try and keep certain key moments unchanged somehow (but reversed), and then how would it end ultimately? The same horrible way for the boys that it ended for Claudia? THE ANGST POTENTIAL. But in a different fic I literally just want to see a much better functioning (because Claudia’s running things) (though it still would not be totally healthy…) vamp fam taking Paris by storm, stealing Armand’s theatre (would he still even have it, without Lestat in the picture??? see so much stuff to explore!) and enjoying life being two proud vamps + one still a bit on the fence about it all, but at least his family loves him and lets him read quietly in the back row.

Anyway, sorry for this essay, as you can clearly see, I’m also quite fond of this au, so 1. might draw for it again, nobody be surprised! 2. if you have fics with this idea — gimme gimme gimme those links, I’m very curious!!

leave it to me to accidentally start a little social experiment for my own enjoyment while trying to date lmao (below the cut because it got long and i’m adding some pics)

i have a habit of changing my style/hair/whatever rather frequently. i have three different photo id’s and none of them look the same despite all being taken within the last five years.

to work with that, i chose a variety of pics of myself for my profile that show off how varied i can look- different haircuts/colours, masc clothes, femme clothes, androgynous.

the pic i figured would get the most attention i put first. it’s me in a mid-thigh, blue floral dress with a white turtleneck underneath and knee high socks. i’m all done up with a matching navy blue lip and nice makeup. i look very femme and super happy in that pic, i adore it. i hate having my photo taken but i love that pic

the last pic i put on my profile was me with dark brown hair (my natural colour), in a much shorter mullet cut, wearing a baggy white t-shirt, some black corduroy pants, and a vintage sport coat from my grandpa. i look fairly androgynous/masc in it. i had some makeup on, mostly heavier eyeliner it was very billie joe armstrong inspired. i’m also not smiling in it, however it is the sexiest face i think i’ve ever made, i was really feeling myself as a man that night.

the sport coat photo is my most popular! even with straight, cis men. i find it very very interesting and i want to know why so badly but also i do not want to start any convos with “hey why did you specifically like this pic where i was feeling masculine?” lmao

anyways here’s my photo tax (beware- these photos contain my face. and also messy living spaces lol- did my best to crop out the messes)

looking at this overleaf document is making me take morale damage

[aylinaliens]

sometimes you gotta do a little bit spring cleaning in the middle of july and orphan/delete the majority of the fics from a fandom that brings you less joy and more dread.

With regard to the entertainment industry strikes, I do believe there’s a reckoning coming. And it’ll spread to broader aspects of life. And I think things will get better. Like it’s gonna suck but it’ll get better, yeah? And I just think… of course the first wave are the storytellers. The writers, the actors, the performers, the crews, the Artists at each and every level of production. Storytelling has been a human act since forever. It long predates capitalism and it will survive it.
