Updated blog description

Started the blog to keep track of my TVC reading but iwtv s2 finally airing so my reading’s on hiatus.

Posting about iwtv s2, not spoiler free!

(Link to book thoughts so far!!! : TVC)

Finally watched Queen of the Damned and it was as bad as everyone says it is. One cool thing tho was that I noticed that Marg Downey who plays Evelyn in The Newsreader shows up in the movie as a Talamascan. Small world.

Also loved Jesse’s vampire bar fit. The space buns were very cute.

And of course Aaliyah, who has a minimal amount of time on screen. RIP.

I am all for ArmDan and I enjoyed the dm chapter in QOTD but can we please please please please admit (not the right word since this is evident) that show ArmDan literally hate each other right now like armand is not secretly in love with daniel they both hate each other deeply and I think that’s very fun. Like the looks they give each other in Dubai are death glares they despise each other and the reasons why are very very very clear and make a lot of sense. They are both obsessed with Louiiiiiis 💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 (and Armand’s obsession with Daniel is fueled purely by hate hate hate and jealousy bc Louis likes Daniel y’all in fact he loves him actually wait he’s Daniel’s lifeline whoah pause everything in Daniel’s life leads back to Louis wait wait wait—)

Overdue TQOTD post...

I finished the book back in April LOL but just never got the urge to write about it. It took me an excruciatingly long time to finish, and that was because the writing was very repetitive imo. AR has the ability to make a vampire origin story so so so so so boring. Which is crazy, because The Story of the Twins is interesting and Maharet and Mekare are interesting characters, but the writing I found pretty bland. Which, again, is crazy because the writing in the Akasha and Lestat chapters?? Fire! So I know AR can do it lol but unfortunately none of it really hit when it came to the Twins and a lot of other chapters. Those parts read a lot like the dreadful Marius chapter/section in TVL and that shit nearly bored me to tears (insane bc that's when you finally find out about TWMBK).

Under the cut I get into more spoiler-y stuff about the last two chapters, including some (not so) subtle racism in the writing + things I actually did like about the book (bc there were some!!).

This is such a loser moment but last night I came home from work tired and feeling sick and my brother had people over for like a small party so like the siblings of people I knew from high school were seeing me in such a gremlin like state and they had all traveled home from college and were going “you moved back? oh…” anyway they were all over the house and blasting music right by my window and I had to be asleep by 10pm bc I had to wake up early for work the next day and it was like 8ish so I said alright why not watch Queen of the Damned to pass the time so I opened my laptop and looked up the movie and right as I was about to press play the colors of my screen got inverted…like my taskbar was inverted and so was my chrome page but not other things anyway I spent so long rebooting my computer reverting back to default settings digging for anything that could be the cause disliking any forum comment that said “just turn the color filter off” bc it was fucking off already that was the problem and I started crying bc all I wanted was to watch QOTD while drinking my ginger tea and pretending there was no party at the house. It took my 2 hours to figure out the cause was some high contrast chrome extension I got years ago that suddenly activated for some reason and I deleted it and went to bed. So that was my experience trying to watch QOTD.
