okay but if you ever see a male creative who had a string of great work and then everything else he did was dogshit, go to the "personal life" part of his wikipedia and look at his relationships. you'll either find a major tragedy he didn't recover from (completely understandable) or, more likely, there was a woman in his life doing uncredited shit editing his stuff or contributing generally and she's not there anymore.

I told a friend about this phenomenon in literature and he called me weeks later like, I remembered what you said about women doing uncredited work when tim burton came up. he made a string of bangers then everything else just was nowhere near as good. the timeline matches perfectly to when he was with this german visual artist (lena gieseke). he's done some good work in collaboration, but if things were dug into I suspect we would find she did a lot more than people realise.

so yeah whenever you look around like wow women didn't work in history, or, women aren't auteurs, or, there just aren't as many great female writers - societal reasons for that aside, half the time they absolutely did.

btw i am not at all worried about assad's "reduced" role in season 3. armand as a character plays major role in tvl flashbacks and in the present day his story is now clearly connected with daniel's so he's not going anywhere. it's the lack of credit & appreciation that makes me upset. publicly amc acts like he doesn't exist but of course they still expect him to show up for work

it's so bloody enraging and their racism and islamophobia is getting so tiringinterview with the vampire

Honestly, tea. I’ve lived here my whole life and I have never once known what my total is gonna be at the register. Total fucking mystery.

im an ex-american living in new zealand for the past two years and it still never fails to blow my mind that i can take a $2 coin, walk up to a counter with two $1 items, and perform the expected transaction

I might elaborate more tomorrow but I feel like rn people should be focussed on discussing amc's racism and how this pattern has been ongoing since s2 and not speculating about how much he is going to be in s3 (either doing insane amounts of doomerism or being overly optimistic about how the writers and production have our back). Like I do get both povs but idk. It just really feels like both these sides are treating Assad as content to be consumed that they are mad *they* will be deprived of and not, you know, an individual that's being wronged because of structural racism.
