I have many normal thoughts and feelings and parasocial friendships with ghosts. 5'11" Lestat truther. The most terrifying kind of preternatural monster: a person who liked Blood Canticle. (she/her)

You could make a big list of all of Anne Rice's hyperfixations and it would be truly insane, but I keep on stumbling across even more of them. Truly the Hyperfixation Queen, the constant revolving hyperfixation on something was much more of who she was than anything having to do with vampires was.
19.11.2025 04:39 โ ๐ 3 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 0 ๐ 0People never talk about how Anne Rice was slightly obsessed with Haiti. I stumbled on a whole rabbit hole about this the other day while I was trying to do something much more specific, and it is a hyper fixation that appears in her work, but I didn't think about it until I saw it outside the books.

My nerd heart is happy, that is my point.

Anyway, I hope one day you get to read the rough draft of your favorite scene in your favorite book too.
Whipped cream and salmon are also, allegedly, for dogs. The salmon is the one I'm least annoyed about: all her food and a lot of her treats are salmon, so when I eat it she's ENRAGED.

I am not opposed to vulgar, I delight in the fucking glorious orgy of vulgarity that is the core of wit in the English language, but sometimes people mistake "vulgar" for "clever" and it's like, ugh. Put your dick away!
18.11.2025 20:15 โ ๐ 4 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0I think they for some reason thought this show would capture a different audience, which I guess it could have if it was good. But it's not good, so the audience is the IWTV audience, who want gay. I don't so much gay as want ANYTHING, sadly it is neither gay nor anything.

Now all your cells are sequential so you can just autopopulate down without having to drag the little box around.

18.11.2025 03:14 โ ๐ 1 ๐ 0 ๐ฌ 1 ๐ 0They make every single thing so dramatic because the plot lacks drama. Why is getting a fake id being treated like the most intense spy mission in the world?

Hollywood is not demonic. A celebrity is not demonic. A politician is not demonic. Stop playing D&D with religion in your head with vibes as dice!

It is never, and has never, not been an extremist spiral talking point.

I meticulously cleaned the rug. I cleaned the dog. I hear the extremely specific sounds... of the dog, drying her fur... on the rug...
