It's crazy how people talk about loumand like they hate each other and have never once looked at each other with anything resembling lust, like two nuns at a silent covent. Buddy louis has had bed death with his husband, and that husband wasn't armand lemme tell you that!

post 1973 interview Daniel Molloy:

[fuzziiwuzzii]

🖤 Malgré tout (Despite Everything) 🖤

" 'Yes,' I said softly to him, 'that is the crowning evil, that we can even go so far as to love each other, you and I. And who else would show us a particle of love, a particle of compassion or mercy? Who else, knowing us as we know each other, could do anything but destroy us? Yet we can love each other.' "

Update

Okay, now that I've got your attention. Listen up.

Just kidding. (Not really.) I have some actual updates that you might want to read.

Good news for all of my fellow Michael Kinsella lovers: I finished rewriting and editing the next chapter of Chaos Theory! It has been a while since I watched the show, so I need a bit more time to reread it once more and check how it sounds. I don't want to disappoint. If all goes well, I can post it later tonight. Thank you for being so patient with me!

Also good news for all of my Foreigner's God readers: I have scrapped the first draft of chapter 55, which is a very good thing because that means I have finally identified why I hated it so much in the first place, and I'm currently in the process of writing it again. It's already flowing so much better, so I think I might be able to finish it by the end of tomorrow or, at the latest, Saturday!

Not so good news for my Total Eclipse Of The Heart readers: I have not come around to writing for that series, and I'm still trying to find a way to reign the plot back in before it can run away from me. I'm also trying everything to get some vampire inspiration, so that might take another week, but I promise, I'm rereading and I'm trying to give you what you've been waiting for. This series has turned out to be quite a beast, so I need to figure stuff out a bit more before I can put new chapters out for this one. But I promise, it won't be too long.

And to everyone else following me and my writing, I also have some news: There is an announcement for something I've been working on also coming later tonight! (Hint: It's a Matt Murdock fic). Plus, I have finally managed to agree on a vague idea for a Spencer Reid fic, but that will still take some time to plan. But I do have a plot and I do have a backstory, so that is also (kind of) good news for those of you who are curious about my jump back into Criminal Minds.

For those of you who have sent in requests back when they were still open: I'm trying to finish them. I'm so sorry for the long wait, but life tends to get in the way.

I have also gotten requests long after I closed them, and to those who have sent in requests anyway, I will still try to work through them, but you will have to wait until those who have requested while my inbox was still open have got their fics. It's only fair. I hope you understand.

Anyway, that was all (I think). I love you guys, and take care.

Thanks for reading this. You can scramble now. Bye!

Black Friday's come and gone, Small Business Saturday is history, Cyber Monday is in the rear view mirror too, but Terror Camp 2023 is coming very soon and in its honor I bring you: soaps! Shaving soaps, bath and body soaps, toilette soaps; soaps to get your filthy mitts clean and presentable, soaps to get your whiskers under control...

New to the shop for December 2023:

Windsor Soaps (both white and rose)

Morfit's Marine Soap (for use in seawater)

Printmaker's Soap (this one's thoroughly modern)

vegan Musk Toilette Soap

And the premiere of my Naples shave soap in 2 varieties! I've been so busy formulating and testing that I haven't had the chance to write up my final post but you can read part one here, wherein I outline some of the historical profile of this soap and its uses.

The storefront's been reorganized a little, but all my usual Early Victorian unguents and perfumes are in stock, with more soon to come. (Perfume samplers, amygdaline soaps, soaps with pretentious French names, Hickey soaps...) For now, order by December 16 for delivery by Christmas within the US.

Terror Camp takes place on December 9-10 this year and there's still time to register for this digital conference encompassing historical polar exploration and related media. I'm honored to be selling soaps, scents, and salves as part of their virtual artists' alley, with a special discount code for attendees and maybe some exclusive goodies. See you there!

[positively--speculative]

I'm so sorry, but something about accusing Black IWTV fans who call out the anti-Blackness in the fandom "white people pretending to be Black" to start "drama" just seems *very* specific to me--if you know what I mean.

We'll be here making jokes but the truth is a big part of us is really Antoinette Brown coded. You can't convince me you wouldn't humiliate yourself for the slightest chance to be around Lestat and his glorious titties.

Hickey creeps ever closer to becoming a real boy. Also he's a cat boy bc of @favouritefi 's purrer and erebark au.

Body is from Amazon and the head is made of 3d pen and pla filament. He'll have brushabl hair and hand made clothes.

Everything neat and presentable. His own house, six foot by nine, perfectly kept.

Only thing missing is a husband.

As of yet unwritten! But boy howdy, would it be a fun one!

Captain Benjamin Tallmadge of the U.S. Army is on the rise, fresh off of a promotion, ready for the long slog of making a name for himself in Army Intelligence. Working alongside his mentor Colonel Scott, he's arrived at a coastal military base to help conduct a review of strategic thinking policy in the U.S. Coast Guard. Eager to engage their uptight friend in some debauchery on his first night back in town, Ben's old military academy buddies take him out to see the local drag show at The Strong Arm, a local coastie pub. The headline act is Whattalotta Brewster, a saucy sassy persona with a style based on pin ups from the 40s and 50s, and Ben can't tear his eyes away from his first experience of the drag scene. A sparkly rendition of "Candyman", complete with chanting from the coastie patrons in the bar, is enough to get his blood jumping, but Peggy Lee's "Fever" brings it to a boil.

Fascinated and more than a little confused, Ben offers to buy Lotta a drink after the show. Some harmless flirting that surprises them both gets cut short as Ben gets dragged back to base before curfew by his friends, leaving Ben's thoughts in turmoil.

The next morning, he's happy to keep the night's memories in a sealed box, but finds that impossible as he and Colonel Scott are introduced to their Coast Guard counter-parts and collaborators in the policy review: a hatchet-faced captain who isn't keen on their prejudices and a familiar-looking Lieutenant Junior Grade Caleb Brewster, who's first utterance upon seeing Ben is "shit".

Louis de Pointe du Lac + His Family + His Identity

After his father died, Louis had to step up and be the breadwinner for the family to keep them all comfortable and maintain their status (even tho they all know how morally fucked their family money is, but that’s another conversation lol). Louis has to put aside his struggles with depression and repress his sexuality (which is like an open secret that they choose to ignore) in order to play the role of the strong, stoic black patriarch, to keep the love and connection with his family intact for most of his life, despite it being very dysfunctional from the beginning. Makes me wonder a lot about what his father was like and how he passed…. And even though Louis so badly wanted to escape the confinements of his family, taking care of his siblings was one of the only things giving him a reason to live imo. Bc even tho his family is not perfect, they’re all he has in this racist, homophobic society he exists in (not to mention his disconnect from other working class black people in the town, bc although miss Bricktop and Miss Lily are there, he is still their boss! How genuine can that connection be when he’s running a brothel that exploits them?)

like being this person to his family becomes his whole purpose, so much so that he gets lost in it. Like for Louis, losing Paul ofc is devastating bc he loved him so much and opened up to him, but Louis also makes it about himself in a way, seeing it as a personal failing on his part. And ofc this is also bc his very own mother places the blame on Louis’ last words to him, (I love you!!!) and this just taints his whole view of genuine expressions of love. then he continues to lose his mother who dies thinking he’s the devil.

That’s already his entire family gone, save for Grace. And it’s so fucked because he doesn’t even lose her to death, but she chooses to cut him off (which hurts but I also don’t 100% fault her for that, based on the little information she has about Louis now). To Louis, I feel that this is his biggest fear confirmed- that the caretaker role he played in the family was what they loved, not Louis himself (but also…who even is the “real” Louis? He doesn’t know!) His sweet Grace is the one who literally is like “you’re dead to me essentially. you’re not my Louis, not the one I grew up with.” gives me flashbacks to him asking Lestat “Aren’t I enough??” Ooof like identity crisis much??? goddd
