im ngl that scene in the lighthouse when hes trying to jerk off to the idea of a hot mermaid but keeps getting distracted by unsightly visions symbolizing his guilty conscience and descent into insanity is so real like. it really is like that sometimes

yes i know heartstopper is "cringe" and yes I know you think it's not that deep but you've endured years of cringe oversexualized shows about high schoolers where the gays are delegated to sub plots I'm sure a few hours of queer people being safe and happy and loved won't kill you so please shut the fuck up

rewatching Fool For Love and that one cut from Drusilla and Spike to Angel made me laugh so much because it reminded me of this post
like here we have spike and drusilla at their hottest. utterly unhinged, covered in blood. they are at peak vampire eroticism and the sheer sexual chemistry they ooze into the atmosphere could kill the population of a small country. and then it cuts to
guy in the worst wig you've ever seen looking like he's trying really hard to concentrate on a math problem

Thank you @mebssann for more of your amazing art! You literally breathed so much life into how I imagined Simon and you were so much fun to work with 💙❤️💙
This was the first of two commissions I had done for my Vampire Simon AU! If you're new to my AU, Simon in this world joined the Vampire King's court, albeit unwillingly, and became reborn as Temperance.
Named for one of the three virtues in the Major Arcana, he's the advisor to not just the king, but tutor to The Star (and perhaps guides others as well, in an effort to fulfill his own goals).
This art will also be featured on my fic itself on Ao3; although, if you've read my most recent chapter then you've already seen his blue outfit in action (it's what he wears to meet with Bonnie)!
As for his red one... keep an eye out for it if you've been following along!

iwtv is insanity inducing bc every time you google some reference in it you find out theyre doing some 4d chess with the symbolism… like okay playing roosevelt's speech about the us joining ww2 in the background as claudia tells louis shes gonna kill lestat is pretty straightforward, and of course the chess game theyre playing foreshadows how she beats him in the next episode but doesn't "finish the game" ie burn him. and bc claudia later compares lestat to the nazis/hitler, that obviously makes lestat germany and thus claudia is poland and louis is the us/roosevelt in the speech we hear: "I had hoped against hope that some miracle would prevent a devastating war in Europe and bring to an end the invasion of Poland by Germany" etc. BUT THEN you get nerdy and google some of the chess terms lestat uses like the dutch defense and stonewalling which is pretty interesting and then you vaguely remember one of the writers said the scene was based on some famous chess game, and you realize it must be glücksberg vs miguel najdorf which turns out to be literally called the POLISH IMMORTAL. najdorf was polish and glücksberg is some unknown but based on the name likely german. this was najdorf's first famous game, at the beginning of his career when he was only like 19 or something although we dont know the exact details of the game (and ofc you watch a few videos on the polish immortal and they all heavily criticize glücksberg's moves which makes lestat's arrogance even funnier) and ALSO, in 1939 (literally at the same time as the chess scene takes place) najdorf was participating in a chess tournament in buenos aires and since he was not only polish but also jewish, he stayed there rather than return home. his whole family was killed in the holocaust but he lived a long life in argentina. why is this relevant? because BUENOS AIRES which btw lestat also calls "la reina del plata" so you google that and find the 1930 song by carlos gardel and the lyrics are literally— anyway so buenos aires is where lestat planned for them to move to in ep7. perhaps if they had indeed gone to argentina instead of europe… well… perhaps… perhaps…

just me thinking abt the insidiousness of the Familiar Clinic
a place where every familiar is recommended to be put down
not because of any injury or disease
but because their vampire cared about them enough to take them there in the first place
