thinking about how caldwell said that reaching out to moonshine in hell saved beverly— that he would’ve gone with his father if he hadn’t reached her. and like… she didn’t tell him not to go. she said she’d love him either way, and she gave him permission to choose, in a moment where he didn’t think he really had a choice.

I dunno what it is about The Gang Goes Bowling but all those minute Macdennis interactions still have me going insane, a little feral. Like that was the line, they’ve completely crossed line from subtlety and stumbled into way too obvious and now I must see them fuck on screen.

Not to out myself on here as being a pretentious nerd with a philosophy degree, but it occurs to me that doing metaphysics in the VnC universe could get really interesting.

Like, the World Formula is inherently a really metaphysical concept, except in VnC land, it kind of isn’t. The mystical system that runs under the surface of their reality and defines how the world works is a demonstrably extant thing that vampires have the ability to perceive and interact with directly. The World Formula may not be tangible exactly, but in a very real way, it is a metaphysical concept that has been made into something physical. It’s like if debates in our world about whether the “laws of nature” meaningfully exist could be solved by saying “Of course they exist. Vlad over there can literally see them.”

And on that note, the demonstrable existence of the World Formula would throw a fascinating new light on existing metaphysical questions. If the World Formula, which is more or less proven to exist, is a mathematical system, does that mean math is real? Or could we argue for a worldview where the underpinnings of reality are mathematical in nature, but “addition” and “the number 3” are still just concepts made up by humans to describe the world, rather than actual extant things? And what about free will? Is it possible to argue that you’re free when your very being is defined as part of mathematical formula that you do not decide on? When changing that formula can change your behavior, and you have no control over that fact?

Hell, we don’t even know whether humans’ natures are also written into the world formula the way vampires’ are, so maybe there’s VnC-verse philosophers arguing that humans have free will, but vampires don’t.

Depression is absolutely killing me lately, but I’m so glad I have my family. The only times I’ve felt genuine happiness that lasts a bit lately is when I spend time with them.

I love these guys sooo much. Straight up don’t know who or where I’d be without them

yet again feeling like… I don’t know, my gender and sense of self is like 75 degrees out of sync with what it’s “supposed” to be and surprised at how little I relate to a lot of discussion of transmasculinity On Here

my headcanon is that it would be like so much harder for jeff the minion to manipulate helsknight because,

1. he’s literally demon

2. hels can be just as manipulative if he wanted to, if not more, so he can see through certain tricks

3. because I said so and it’s cool

4. jeff would not win in a rap battle

you think that there’s a way i could ever get too far / you’d ask me where i’ve been, like i ask you where you are? as a question to god is an objectively insane way to begin an album. just imagine hearing the soft, slightly tinny guitar notes for a few seconds and then being hit with that for the first time. what do you even do with that

Or, alternatively, we could let people enjoy their silly little things in their silly little corner of the internet.

I keep thinking about the other day when me n my buddies were looking up our name meanings, and mine means “beauty and grace” and I laughed, then one my friends was like “no, that’s perfect for you” and I swear I flatlined for a moment there

I think being accountable to your own human nature is realizing the way you feel about others will sometimes be reflected in how they feel about you. and sometimes that hurts
