”Are you an introvert or an extrovert? Do people energize you or drain you? Would you rather be at a party or a library?” Stop subscribing me to binaries. Social interaction is invigorating and makes my life better and I’m exhausted the whole time.

Please invite me to the function. I’ll be all tsundere about it

the old vintage studio heads need to make five bucks and have decided to adapt the children's classic The Lion, The Witch, and the Wardrobe as fast as they can without spending a ton of money. they have returned to the casting agency staffed by YOU because you did such a stellar job casting the cult classic Dracula (and also you guys are cheap). this is still not a real mini tournament but hey I need to know.

this is just for silly times. this blog isn't super into narnia so please don't kill us if we got the lore wrong.

i dont hate shipping i just think a lot of you people maybe like shipping too much

its ok. you can engage in a fandom without shipping. its ok. there are other things you can do. not everything needs to be about romance and characters being cute and kissing

“you can engage in a fandom without shipping 🤓 🤓🤓” ok and?? I don’t want to. I’m perfectly happy with everything being about romance and characters being cute and kissing

i was being too lenient before i have now decided no one is allowed to ship anything. in fact nobody is allowed to like eachother romance is banned in my beautiful world #hatred #ihatelove #mybeautifulworld #imalwaysright 😇

outside saint-denis. interview with the vampire, claudia/madeleine. outsider PoV. 2.6k words.

There was a kiosk in the station selling little Parisian trinkets and Madeleine paused to pick up a small journal with a soft green cover. “Would you like it? To document our travels?” She was smiling. Claudia was smiling too. “No,” she said. “I don’t think I want to write anything down for a while.”

Claudia and Madeleine’s time together told through the things they left behind.

That’s funny, ‘cause if I’m being honest, all week, I’ve just been so sad. I just feel like my expectations were too high, or… I just feel like, as you get older, you have to justify your life, you know? And your choices. And… when I’m with you guys, it’s just so, like… like, transparent what my choices were, and my mistakes. I have no belief system. And I… Well, I mean, I’ve had a lot of them, but… I mean, work was my religion for forever, but I definitely lost my belief there. And then — And then I tried love, and that was just a painful religion, just made everything worse. And then, even for me, just, like, being a mother, that didn’t save me either. 

THE WHITE LOTUS 3.08 | Amor Fati

there's this horrible school of attempted literary criticism on here that holds that 1. everything in any given author's work is autobiographical, especially if it seems "real" and 2. those themes seeped into the work subconsciously, revealing something about the author that they're either trying to hide or unaware of themself. it drives me up a wall, since it seems to deny the fundamental skills that make people good writers: the empathy to imagine and portray experiences that one hasn't had oneself and the ability to take one's personal emotional experiences or worldview and fold them, consciously, into the unworked clay of a narrative.
