You know that nice thing somebody did for you that you're randomly thinking about?

It would be rad if you randomly messaged them to tell them it's stuck with you.

just imagine when it’s Armand’s turn and the show is called The Vampire Armand awww !

Netflix this, Prime Video that. I have one desktop folder called “OLD MAN YAOI” with every episode of Good Omens, Hannibal, Interview with the Vampire, Loki, Merlin, Our Flag Means Death, and the ‘80s Jeremy Brett Sherlock Holmes, and I’ve seen them all 10,000 times.

sorry goths, black lipstick actually belongs to Māori wahine with their moko kauae 🖤

A photo of a person standing in an open moorland pointing to a hill in the distance.

A photo of a person closing their eyes and smiling on a green hill.

me at 1pm deciding I’m going to walk to the top of that hill over there via common grazing vs. me at 3pm feeling the breeze from the top! fell down in the boggy moor five or six times, climbed over a bunch of fences, did not have a plan today except “climb hill” and it was perfect.

I can think of a couple British shows that have changed their name after the first season to be more concise (The Black Adder to Blackadder, The Adventures of Merlin to Merlin) but tbh it would severely confuse the American audience, they better just keep it IWTV.

sometimes a girl has just got to Leave 😌 you’ll find such a great community there, I can feel it. I’m in Scotland for a few more months!

is that where you’re moving?? I’ve been so curious! I love Chicago, will have to come visit you.

so it’s been 2.5 years since my last Tinder hookup and longer since I had feelings for anybody. I’ve been in a very happy and charmed aroace phase, but sometimes I think about what a woman in my life will feel like again and get a strange warm sensation like she’s leaning toward me from the future.

There is a beloved rumour in the GO fandom of a cottage in the South Downs. And I thought it could be a fun idea to cosplay it at #TheIneffableCon. So I built it - out of cardboard, popsicle sticks, and glue. Presenting: the South Downs cottage (with a garden).

as a fellow Millennial, I’ve never enjoyed or understood Discord because I never received a reaction on the couple servers I tried to join with an introduction. I totally gave up. but I also prefer communicating in public forums and comments, don’t really enjoy private conversations online.

“But feel me now, walking the chambers of your heart, pressing my palms to the soft walls of your living. Why did no one tell us that to die is to be reincarnated in those we love while they are still alive?”

RIP Andrea Gibson 🕯️

I LOVE THIS ONE! The choice of pink for the text was inspired. 💗

I’m so so sorry but it’s also “Berkeley Square” 😭 your handiwork is so neat and lovely though, fabric painting is so frustrating to me and you do it beautifully!

@docjwatsonmd.bsky.social pls pls never stop making episodes they make me laugh SO much while I work outside. “act normal!!” “aloha🌺”

We are in fascism.

All of this is happening right now.

We cannot fight as we would in a democracy. We must fight as if we are in a fascist regime because we are in one right now.

Everything we've got beloveds.
For each other, with each other.

Oy! Shem!

I like pears 🍐

A selfie of a person holding a small crochet doll of Loki from the 2021 TV series in front of a large white church and a street sign that reads “Lokastígur.”

📍 at “Loki Lane” that ends at Hallgrímskirkja, a church that suspiciously resembles the palace of Asgard from the Marvel movies. “Thor Street” (Þórsgata) runs parallel, also near the streets of Freyja, Baldur, Odin, and others. #Reykjavík #Iceland

A greywash comic lineart drawing of four figures walking and each bearing a nonbinary pride flag. They are the characters Merlin from the BBC TV show, Loki from the MCU, Crowley from Good Omens, and the user.

before #PrideMonth is over I need y’all to see this drawing my fandom friend did of me with my #nonbinary imaginary friends gang 💛🤍💜🖤

ah man, I have read it! very timely sci-fi pick for sure.

what audiobooks should I place holds for on Libby? I’ve just powered through two fantasy series and now I’m craving nonfiction and literary fiction only for a spell. #booksky

I shared my entire music taste with my late sibling from Tom Waits to Belle & Sebastian to The Weeknd. we saw Neutral Milk Hotel together, blasted Kendrick, cried on every Joanna Newsom vinyl release.

but the one I can still *barely* handle hearing because it just hurts too bad is Leonard Cohen.

you know, now that I’ve read The Vampire Lestat I wonder if AMC will release some music videos ahead of S3. that’s how it happens in the book — Lestat drops his book and blows up on MTV way before his first concert appearance 👀 @annerice.amc.com #IWTV #InterviewWithTheVampire

An artwork in gold and silver on a black background. The image shows an ornately carved Māori waka (canoe) with two sails. Attached to the stern of the waka is a silver feather streamer. Above the waka are a collection of stars in various sizes, and the moon in a waning crescent, all done in typical Māori art styles. The border around the artwork has two types of borders. On the top and bottom are small Xs in gold and silver representing stars (in te reo Māori this pattern is called purapura whetū, meaning “star seeds”). On the bottom are stepped zigzags alternating in gold, silver, and black (this pattern is called poutama, or “stairway to heaven”)

Mānawatia a Matariki mā Puanga! Ngā mihi o te tau hou! Hail, Matariki and Puanga! Happy Māori New Year!

To celebrate the new lunar year I created this piece of Te Whānau o Matariki and Puanga, who both form part of the great constellation, Te Waka o Rangi.

a medieval manuscript-style digital drawing. there’s a stripey white and gold border around the outside filled with pink and blue plants, flowers, and scrollwork. in the center, a snarling blue and pink dragon gripping a red, white, and blue snake in its claws makes up the initial “P” for text in a pink gothic script reading “Protect trans kids.” there are two crossed swords next to the word “protect.” at the bottom, there’s a group of friendly trans kids: a Black boy with an afro, a white girl with two red braids, a brown boy with short wavy hair, a Black girl with locs, a brown girl wearing a pink hijab, and a white nonbinary person with curly brown hair, glasses, and a nonbinary flag colored flower crown.

protect trans kids! dragon stomp the fascists and transphobes! fuck the supreme court!

ugh Lestat the wolfkiller and thespian is so delicious but I just finished Queen of the Damned by the skin of my teeth then skipped to The Vampire Armand in one last ditch effort and I’m officially done with the books, I can’t do it anymore bro the show is 10,000x better 😭
