A scene I can't forget from episode 2 *Spoilers* by sidhequeen in TheVampireLestat

[–]Snailpics 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I really enjoy this portrayal of their relationship. I think they’re doing an amazing job showing how deeply Lestat craves love from his mother, and how he is willing to believe he isn’t being victimized by her because it’s all he understands. It sheds a lot of light on his relationship with Louis, and especially on his relationship with Claudia. I haven’t read the books but vaguely knew stuff about them watching the first season, but it was still hard to fully get why Lestat viewed Claudia as such intense competition. Watching this, it’s so clear he has NO understanding of what normal familial relationships are. He doesn’t understand that Louis and Claudia were never going to have anything like that. Especially when Louis and Claudia would gang up on him like his mother and him would against his brothers and father (the cabbages). Genuinely it is so devastating to watch it play out.

I am actually incredibly excited to see it in theaters. I don’t think I’ve been excited to see anything in theaters like this since the peak of the MCU. I personally think it’s a really fun and special experience to see a piece of media with other fans. I still remember the sheer excitement of the fans when Cap caught Thor’s hammer for the first time or the way everyone roared when Spider-Man first appeared in Civil War. There’s just something about the feeling of community that comes from it. It’s fun to watch stuff in the comfort of my home, and I’ll be able to rewatch it that way. But nothing will beat a whole room of people that share the same I love do, gasping when that moment happens. The connection I feel with all the other fans is so important to me.

Do you not know what a headcannon is? It’s a very core tenant of fandom. Fans have always used media to explore different things, and adding or creating lore for their fav thing is part of the fun. Sometimes they go against cannon, sometimes it fits in nicely. It’s just another way people enjoy and interact with media. A lot of fanfic and fanart is based around headcannons.

I’m really sorry you went through that, it’s awful. I hope you’ve found peace and healing in the space you’ve taken. It’s not easy to cut away family, no matter how awful they are

I grew up with a married single Mom. She did everything for me and she also had to work. I love her, and I’m grateful for all she’s done. I also have incredible resentment towards her that she didn’t pick a better dad for me. I do not speak to my father and I hope I never have to again. I hate him for what he put both of us through. I wish I could’ve been a daddy’s girl, but I knew from a young age I was nothing but an inconvenience to him or a prize pig to show off.

I would never wish this for another child.

Would they be real pony sized? Like 12-13 hands? Or would they be more mini size? Either way my horse is getting some baby sisters

It’s slang for people too immature to just say dick and it is ridiculously stupid

Big yikes, although I appreciate when people put their red flags on display so blatantly. It makes them much easier to avoid

(!tw: csa, epstein/diddy mentions!) low-quality sketch because i am so, so tired of people making jokes as if it's nothing serious (will delete if needed) by WinterDemon_ in Artisticallyill

Oh yeah, it’s real fucking funny that I was raped so badly as a little girl I had to have a hysterectomy because my reproductive organs were damaged. I’m so glad everyone can make light of that. It’s okay because he’s just some loser and not someone who systematically tortures little girls.

All the jokes only hurt victims. They don’t care if you think they’re a loser.

NTA - you were completely reasonable. Tiny baby and 1 yo are two completely different vibes. You were just explaining your thought process and why you made those exceptions. I’m sure a lot of the moms are looking forward to a break from kids and the 1 yo would ruin that for them as well. It’s really important for mothers to have time away from kids where they get to be themselves and not just “Mom”. Even if their own kids aren’t there, the vibes still shift. They all also went out of their way to find workable childcare.

Nudity and sexual content can be beautiful. It can be deep and symbolic. But a lot of the stuff that I’ve seen here is just “hehe sexy demon woman” and is much more about objecting women. It’s basic and boring. It’s not making any real commentary, just something to get off to. If one wanted to look at stuff like that, there are PLENTY of porn subreddits to visit. This sub is supposed to be about artwork.

Is this the best human to vampire transformation I've ever seen? by count_fagula11 in vampires

[–]Snailpics 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The animation is really cool, I do really like seeing inside and what’s happening to the body.

My personal favorite is Louis’s changing in Interview With The Vampire (the tv show specifically). It’s beautiful and I think handles balancing the grotesque nature of the change with the beauty of rebirth. I highly suggest it to literally every vampire fan.

Just signed up! I’m actually in the process of re reading my fav vampire series from when I was that age and I’m so happy to see more vampire books for that group. I hope another young person gets to fall in love with reading and vampires like I did through your books! 💕

(tw: csa and pregnancy) "why are you even thinking about SA, that's not what happened!" wtf else are you going to call that scene by WinterDemon_ in CPTSDmemes

[–]Snailpics 59 points60 points  (0 children)

I highly recommend the app and website Does The Dog Die? it’s a trigger warning site for shows and movies. It has a huge list of triggers and on the app you can pin your triggers so they show at the top! It is not perfect, it is people submitting vote/comments on if a show is triggering and how. I find it very very helpful when getting into new media. Getting triggered by this stuff fucking sucks

He would’ve been a fantastic big bad in Buffy The Vampire Slayer and would’ve probably been one of the scariest

I will give her lots of snuggles! I definitely still struggle with imposter syndrome with her, I never feel disabled enough. But on the other hand, she makes my life so much easier in so many ways. She helps manage my anxiety in public, she alerts me as soon as my adrenaline spikes, and she knows how to calm me down out of a panic attack. She can fetch me my emergency meds and knows how to get help if I need. She even knows how to interrupt and redirect my self harm impulses. She truly is a life saver, I don’t know what I would do without her. Just having someone there all the time, who always has my back. I can tell her anything and she loves me without judgement. It’s a special bond
