theo and liam always getting paired together in 6b during episodes where all of the other storylines focus on couples going through stuff together is so funny because when you look at it, the only episode where they really get split up is genotype, which is one of the rare episodes where scott ISN’T paired with malia (because he’s with liam) and mason isn’t with corey (because he’s with theo) aka the canon love interests. like these episodes were cutting from shit like scalia almost dying together to thiam having intimate conversations about how liam processes emotions and morey saying i love you to thiam swearing that neither of them are dying for each other 😭 just very amusing to me. theo raeken: the accidental love interest.

it is beyond infuriating how anne rice seems to insist on marius being a positive force in anyone's life ever. like she can't fully commit to exploring the fact he groomed armand and has repeatedly taken away his consent for what marius thinks is best (take the end of TVA as an example) and just kind of flatly puts it in the narrative. there's not really much interest in how these horrific events make marius come across as the worst because EVERYONE loves him. for gods sake, lestat learns from armand exactly what marius did to him in TVL and then proceeds to go find marius and be super friendly to him in the same fucking book. even armand and pandora, two of the people who have MORE than enough right to hate him, do not. it doesnt feel like shes trying to explore the toxicity of the abusive dynamic he traps them in, it just is there. and like yeah ofc the toxic vampire romance series but i think that this should be handled with more care. and it is not ever really framed in a way that she is interested in exploring how marius should easily be one of the most horrific characters in this series because it kind of feels like sa/rape/grooming/other things of that sort are just put there to further plot and not to really get the respect that they deserve in a medium.

johnny has ptsd from his time in the war while v has ptsd from her time living in gang territory
johnny wakes up in a cold sweat one day but this time he wasn't hiding behind some sand bags in the trenches, instead he hid behind a bench in heywood he and v walk past every day.
he didn't dream about walking across the battlefield as the mud is squishing below his boots and rain falls on top of his beret, this time the floor is the concrete of the industrial district in nc. as he is scanning the bodies littering the ground he is looking for - but not hoping to find - the dead bodies of his friends, they arent wearing uniforms but civilian clothing, he finds who he was looking for and there isnt a dogtag to tear from the body - a childhood friend who swore he would get out - instead he collects the gun the poor guy is still holding onto
he is sweating as bullets fly past him and it never seems to end, he is confused when the girl next to him - just as afraid and shaking as himself - begins to speak spanish but he realises that he isnt in nicaragua this time around, he is covering behind the convenience store counter he only entered to buy some mouthwash

[Start ID. A drawing of V1 from Ultrakill in blue, yellow and red against a black background. It appears to be sliding to the left while midair, albeit with one leg bent and a wing splayed outward, gripping a gun and aiming it indirectly at the screen. Blood sprays from a couple broken wires and litters its body. End ID]
so I've been playing ULTRAKILL recently

Girl kicking his feet happily and doodling in a notebook you look at their screen they're watching an extraordinarily gruesome presentation on forensic pathology
