Lucius' arc this season really went: reunite with boyfriend, be traumatized, push Blackbeard off the ship, work through trauma with art, get engaged, 24 hour sex marathon, run scam with fiancé, get arrested, escape, get married 💕
Good morning, Hanni-Nation! I wanted to show my nails that my 18 year old daughter did for me for C2E2! I'm so excited to see my fellow cheese folk! (Ignore the condition of my hands otherwise. I'm a dog groomer so they're always dry and beaten up 😬)
"Not everything is about your blorbos" to you maybe. To me every other song and probably that car commercial is about them
okay i love interview with the vampire but i’m fully ignoring everyone who’s upset at the deviations from the books because honestly they make the story that much more interesting ..
like oh book lestat would never hurt louis? boringggg MY lestat threw him through multiple walls and i love him anyway <33
besides they’re slave owners in the books that’s stupid and i hate it! like the show bothers to deal with the question of race in a way the books don’t and it has such an interesting portrayal of being black and immortal ?? it’s just like more fun sorry not sorry
i can wait for season 2
Thinking about Stede, and how I've always thought of him as a character who deals a lot with self-loathing, and now I'm not so sure, because if Stede really hated himself, like if that were a core part of his character/personality, we wouldn't have this show.
Because throwing your entire life away for a shot at happiness isn't self-loathing behavior. There's another post going around about Stede thinking about himself as a child when Nigel says "and you cried all the time and liked to pick flowers" and Stede just looks a bit rueful and says "yeah, little bit." You can tell Stede loves that little boy, and really, what is buying a pirate ship and filling it with fancy clothes and chandeliers and odd characters if not trying to give that kid a life where he might have had a chance to fit in, a life he might have liked?
So Stede hates his life, not himself. He loves pageantry but not the people who would shun you for using the wrong spoon. He loves fine fabric, and knows anyone can appreciate them if given the opportunity. He knows there's a life for him out there, if he can just find the right people in the right place at the right time.
...but then, at the academy, while he is the midst of self-recrimination and guilt, finally having realized that he might have caused his family some real problems by leaving without a word in the night, and knowing that Blackbeard would still be the fiercest pirate in the Caribbean if he had never met Stede (debatable, since Ed was looking for an out anyway), Chauncey takes him into the woods, tells him that Stede Bonnet is not human, that he is a plague, that he defiles beautiful things.
And after 40-odd years of thinking 'I know I don't fit here, but that doesn't mean i can't fit somewhere,' Stede says, "I think you're right. In fact, I completely agree." Stede is the problem. He is wrong and the world is right. He could fit in if he weren't deficient. He could do all the things he is supposed to do if he weren't broken.
So he goes back to the life he hated, because it's what he deserves.
“And you liked to pick flowers”
“A little bit”
have you ever wondered what it would sound like if ed called stede "darling"? well, i just did thing...
