reblogging photos of my favorite singers on tumblr dot com is the equivalent of ripping pages out of tiger beat magazine and sticking them on my wall for all my friends to see at sleepovers

I have love in me the likes of which you can scarcely imagine and rage the likes of which you would not believe. If I cannot satisfy the one, I will indulge the other.

being a 13 year old girl and suddenly having an obsession with the outsiders and 80s coming of age films like the breakfast club or ferris bueller is such a canon event that must not be interfered with.

silly little thoughts I had when reading Anne Rice's The Vampire Chronicles:

<beware of spoilers!> for Interview with the Vampire, The Vampire Lestat, and The Queen of the Damned specifically

Lestat is a little shit, but he's my little shit also perfect

vampires love humans, humans love vampires, vampires like to embrace humans who are very human

on that same note, would I fit the bill? am I human enough? unsure

sparkly blood ftw

Theatre des Vampires should have been a whole book. I would have eaten that so fast

oh, so that's why the Miami crime rate is so high

Armand is apparently so hot that everyone falls in love with him instantly

ok but what happened to the druids?

how does the eyeball thing work with Maharet? could Mekare steal a tongue or something so she can say some words?

I needed a hateful little speech from Mekare. needed

I think Lestat would like listening to Beck, actually

So I see you all are exhausted by streaming services effectively recreating cable. I see you’re all tired of ads. Pirating is a great alternative, but I have another fantastic option for you all!

I live in Seattle. And in Seattle we have America’s largest physical media store, Scarecrow Video. They are a non-profit that has pretty much any film or tv show you can imagine. Like, everything. So much so that one of our local cinemas does a program with them called “Unstreamable” where they show a film from Scarecrow’a archive that you can’t access anywhere online. It’s a bit overwhelming to go to their store, which is two levels of every program under the sun.

ANYWAY, I bring this up because they recently started a Rent-by-Mail program. It’s pretty similar to what Netflix used to do. You can rent up to six titles (barring their super rare stuff and pornos) and they will ship it to you, then you return it in the included pre-paid envelope.

Why does this rock? Sure, you still have to pay money, BUT you are supporting a non-profit that is dedicated to preserving media instead of some corporation looking for endless profit. They can also expand your palette with their vast selection. And if you have a favorite piece of media, you never have to worry about it disappearing! All their stuff is there in perpetuity.

So this is all to say, now that Scarecrow has expanded their reach beyond the Greater Seattle Area, I implore you to check them out. If you don’t want to rent right now, the could always use donations to keep them afloat.

You can check out their catalogue HERE!
