(I've been thinking about this line too much.)

an easeful death

Get it, Eric.

harry du bois steps up to the lectern in front of the crowd. "as a lesbian...." he pauses, looks at kim questioningly. kim shakes his head imperceptibly. harry looks back at the audience "...supporter"

Redraw a relatively old sketch. I just wanted to, because my friend and I remembered about noir AU

Rashid, who has finally escaped from the Dubai madhouse, shares the location with other people:

He is traumatized, Talamasca should pay him moral compensation and give him a vacation! (the main cause of his psychological trauma was not even the crazy vampires he worked for, but Daniel MOLLOY💜)

I think in the end red dead is about love.

Arthur's love for Dutch kept him blieving a bit too long, his love for the camp kept him working despite being tired, his love for John and Abigail helped them escape and give his life in return.

John's love for his son and wife that made him flip his life around not just once but twice, his love for Arthur whom he priorly struggled with, his love for his family that made him kill old friends for their safety.

Abigail's love for John that made her believe he could change, her love for him and her son causing her to leave for both their safeties.

Hosea's love for Abigail making him prepare her for the worst already in chapter two, his love for Arthur trying to make him see Dutch's fault before it was too late, and his love for Dutch making him try to keep him from running off the rails.

All those small moments of love, I think that is what it is about

Hot take, while I do think aging Daniel up was a good choice in that it opened up new avenues of exploration (and a potential DM amnesia plot!!!) I don’t think it actually was necessary to fix DM because maturity differences weren’t the real core of DM’s relationship problems.

Their flaws are still the same—old Daniel is still blunt and somewhat insensitive, stubborn and reckless and Armand is still controlling, condescending, melodramatic and above it all. These flaws were causing some tension but they weren’t insurmountable.

Old Daniel and B!Daniel also aren’t that different—Daniel at 20-24 is constantly scared Armand will kill him and still pushes back against him verbally with sarcasm and bite and expresses any and all frustration every chance he gets (it’s part of why he remains entertaining) just like 69 yr old Daniel.

This is only compounded once book Daniel realizes he’s not at risk of dying and has Armand just as wrapped around his finger as vice versa. Show Daniel is just a little more wrapped up in cynicism and hides his softer parts compared to B!Daniel who balances it out better imo, he’s not necessarily more mature.

They love each other’s “flaws” they acknowledge each others negative traits but mostly enjoy them. The actual core to their countless fights was the age old human wants to be vampire/vampire sees it as a curse dilemma. (Yes DM ran so Twilight could tip toe softly lol).

I think B!Daniel was absolutely 100% fair in feeling like Armand was treating him like a pet dog and would move on and not mourn that long if he died (even if this absolutely wasn’t true—we know this) and Armand wasn’t helping by belittling him when he did return home and not actually communicating that he did care that well.

However, that’s already been solved in the show—the second major problem (and break up causer) is an extension of the the initial one—Armand feels too unnecessarily guilty about the turning (and thinks Daniel hates him) and leaves—Daniel feels abandoned (and thinks Armand preferred him mortal).

I think a maturity difference issue would be more reasonable and less silly than their actual relationship problem which is weirdly banal given how weird they are everywhere else but nothing’s perfect.

I literally hate every job in the world. I don’t want them. I don’t want ANY of them!
