"Rationalism" is up there with "Objectivism" in terms of "definitionally funny things to call your own belief system".

"Yeah man I've been doing some thinking and philosophy and I've come up with a framework called Being Right"

Trying to read iwtv but Anne Rice’s prose is just not gelling with me yet, the way the characters talk seems so unnatural. I get that it’s bc they’re vampires from the 1700s but even then it seems so stilted and flowery idk it might grow on me

Art snobs are actually a thousand times less annoying than people who respond to everything with "it's not that deep bro"

There's something extremely depressing to me about how many people just don't want to get weird with female characters the way they do with male characters.

Like, I can kind of see why a lot of people feel weird about writing about bad things happening to female characters, but what it leads to is everyone putting female characters up on a shelf where you can admire them but you can't actually do anything interesting with them because that might be sexist or just make people feel bad. And I think that's actually a whole lot worse in the long run.

People who think any criticism whatsoever is an attack are unprepared for any serious discussions about bigotry

You have done something bigoted. Quite literally doesnt matter who you are, you have, and you need to be able to handle when someone brings that up to you. Fragile allies make for easily propagandized enemies

you can’t even fathom the problematic things me and my mutuals are romanticizing

Imagine you interview a guy and he's like my ex is so hot, he dresses beautifully, his very presence enraptures you, everyone wanted him

And then you finally meet Lestat and he's like

Daniel Molloy is so funny because in the present he’s like yeah fine I met you at a gay bar. But that’s because it was the only place to get drugs. And then you see the flashback to the 70s and he’s like oh you want to come back to my house and be interviewed? and I assume you’ll want to fuck me btw? In exchange for the drugs of course. No? Okay well let me know if you change your mind. And then when it all goes to shit and he’s being tortured for five days he’s like damn. Would love to get out of this. Maybe by sucking a dick? The closet isn’t so much glass as it is the unreliable memory of glass.

the idea of armand putting on the sunglasses and giggling like hehe louis is gonna find this sooo funny and he walks through the door to find his husbands have trauma bonded and unionised against him is genuinely the funniest fucking moment of the whole show

their achilles heels cut the way slaves' were cut. the monstrous racist caricatures drawn. louis depicted as a violent, unstable, and predatory man. not allowing them to speak. the abuser crying about his loneliness as the entire crowd cries with him. louis begging on his knees and telling lestat he'll never leave him, will do whatever he wants, will always be happy, if he just turns claudia. even when lestat admits his faults the crowd sides with him. armand saying lestat took the pieces of louis life and reframed them to build an effigy to lestat as if he didn't do the exact same. claudia telling lestat and louis it was never about her. "i could not prevent it" as he controls an entire crowd. claudia singing "i dont like windows when they close" as she dies. louis buried in rocks and the rocks in the dubai penthouse. the absence of metaphor is striking.
