I’m Gonna Say Something Very Controversial

I’m gonna say something very controversial

Jess is uncomfortable around Lorelei because he notices that it’s weird how pro-Dean she is. He’s uncomfortable because he recognizes signs of parentification in Rory.

I’m just saying:

How often do you meet a teenager who is ridiculously obsessed with going off to college and always has been unless they’re running from something? If anything he could have been cagey around Lorelei cause he was waiting to see if the abuse was worse.

He knows how much Rory eats. He knows that the Gilmore’s have food insecurity. He brings over a giant box of food because he’s gone hungry before and he wants to make sure she’s fed until her mom gets home.

i love it when a character is so clueless but simultaneously uncomfortably aware of everything

Best Advice I’ve Ever Gotten

Are you a stayer or a goer? Figure it out.

There’s no wrong choice, but it is a choice. Don’t waffle in the moment whether you should stick something out, or bail at the first chance.

My friend Cat stays. She likes the stability, likes working things out.

I’m a runner. First whiff of something wrong and I’m gone.

I’ve wished I didn’t have to run away from things. Work, friends, school. I was running away from home long before I recognized that’s what I was doing.

I’ve never regretted running away, though. I’ve always regretting staying too long.

Oh my god this is amazing

A three page comic featuring a young Daniel Molloy and Armand as they appear in AMC’s Interview With the Vampire

Page 1:
Daniel speaks to the hostess at a restaurant, “Yeah, table for one? Uh-”
He cuts himself off as he sees Armand already sitting at a table. It’s the dining room of the Copley Plaza Hotel, with tall arched windows and decorated wall lamps. The round dining tables are empty save for Armand, who is casually perusing a book resting in front of him.
Daniel tells the hostess, “Hold on a second,” and goes to confront Armand, demanding, “The hell are you-”
Armand cuts him off, “Your dinner’s already ordered, please, sit.” Then asks, “Did you know that ‘Interview With the Vampire’ is in the bookstores?” He rests his chin on one hand while the other holds the book open, “I must confess, I enjoy this small measure of notoriety. What puzzles me is that you do not want notoriety! You did not list yourself as the ‘author’, which means you are either very modest or a coward.”

Page 2:
Armand picks up his empty wineglass and looks to Daniel as he says, “Either explanation would be very dull.”
Daniel starts to get up from his seat, “...I’m not hungry, lets get out of here–”
He’s interrupted by a server, “The smoked duck breast, sir? And the beef tenderloin mignonette.”
The server continues listing dishes as other staff members fill the table with plates of food of all kinds, a trolley is left off to the side with even more food on it.
“The seared steelhead trout, the Maine lobster mac and cheese, the New England cod, the rooftop honey-cured chicken breast, the charred cauliflower steak.”
Armand holds out his wineglass for a server to fill, “I did not know what you wanted, so I ordered everything that they had.” He tilts his head and looks to Daniel, seeming pleased with himself.
Daniel scowls at Armand as another plate is set on the table, “You think you can drive me crazy, don’t you?”

Page 3:
Daniel gets more agitated, building into an indignant shout, “Well you can’t, let me tell you, every time I lay eyes on you I realize that I didn’t invent you, and that I’m sane!!”
Daniel grabs a handful of the food in front of him and angrily shoves it in his mouth, he starts eating whatever is on the table with his hands, pasta and mashed potatoes and meat and bread. Armand is enraptured, a nearby server and seated couple are staring with concern.
Armand bursts into laughter, puts one hand to his face. Daniel freezes, mouth full, staring.
The narration reads: “It was the first time Daniel had ever heard that soft, silky laughter. He got drunk as fast as he could.”

big fan of daniel going completely off the rails while shouting "im nORMAL i am NORMAL im A NORMAL MAN" the whole time

i got commissioned to do another excerpt from the Devil's Minion chapter of Queen of the Damned and it was So Much Fun these two are insane

chapter excerpt under the cut:

An excerpt from "Queen of the Damned" by Anne Rice:
[...] And the following night in Boston, Armand was in the dining room of the Copley when Daniel came in. Daniel's dinner was already ordered. Please sit down. Did Daniel know that Interview with the Vampire was in the bookstores?
"I must confess I enjoy this small measure of notoriety," Armand had said with exquisite politeness and a vicious smile. "What puzzles me is that you do not want notoriety! You did not list yourself as the 'author,' which means that you are either very modest or a coward. Either explanation would be very dull."
"I'm not hungry, lets get out of here," Daniel had answered weakly. Yet suddenly dish after dish was being placed on the table; everyone was staring.
"I didn't know what you wanted," Armand confided, the smile becoming absolutely ecstatic. "So I ordered everything that they had."
"You think you can drive me crazy, don't you?" Daniel had snarled. "Well, you can't. Let me tell you. Every time I lay eyes on you, I realize that I didn't invent you, and that I'm sane!" And he had started eating, lustily, furiously - a little fish, a little beef, a little veal, a little sweetbreads, a little cheese, a little everything, put it all together, what did he care, and Armand had been so delighted, laughing and laughing and laughing like a schoolboy as he sat watching, with folded arms. It was the first time Daniel had ever heard that soft, silky laughter. So seductive. He got drunk as fast as he could.

There’s a sorority named Omega Psi Phi.

Not usually what I think of when I hear someone say Omega Sci-Fi, but alright.

She’s the first person I told…everything. She was my confidant, my shield, my break in the shore. She hasn’t used my deadname since I changed it six years ago.

We haven’t been talking much these last few months. I moved ac

Across the country and she got…mean. She wanted me to come back, to stay depressed, to live in a bubble with her. I didn’t.

Got deadnamed by my oldest friend on my birthday. Deliberately. Through a meme.
