"Whatever I do has to mean something. I need to make something beautiful, something that lasts. I don't know what, but I have to, if I want my life to matter at all."
"Beautiful things are supposed to hurt."
"You could do anything to me and I'd let you."
"Tell me you love me, at least. Please. I need to know somebody does."
"They wanted each other in the way of flesh wanting to knit itself together over a wound."
"I kill them because they're beautiful, and it's the only way I can keep them."
"What a lonely, dreary thing it is to know the truth."
"I miss you to pieces. Yours always."
"He'd forgotten ever being angry. He felt gentle and endlessly patient; if Julian had asked, he would have happily cut his chest open and handed over his heart, his lungs, every part of himself piece by piece."
"I can't tell you how happy I am to see you" he said, and for a moment Paul couldn't imagine, much less remember, that anything in the world existed outside the two of them.
"Paul lay with his head on Julian's lap, trying to map constellations into the sun-darkened freckles on his knees, while Julian combed his fingertips gently through Paul's hair."
"They kissed each other breathless between each promise."
"They could only stitch themselves back together if they did something irreversible."
"Hard to trust you if you're going to maim me."
"The worst damage humans do isn't rooted in malice but in thoughtlessness."
"I know why you fuck me like you wish you could kill me."
"They were wild and delirious and invincible, and it was strange that no one else could see it."
"Familiar smells, familiar sounds, a life still marred by all its old fractures and disappointments."
"It was the first time he could believe Julian when he spoke this way, as if they were one mind, one heart, one pair of lungs."
"All I want to do is make you happy, and you're the unhappiest person I've ever met."
"I love you. By now you ought to be able to let me fucking tell you."
imagine the picture of dorian gray (1891) but dorian is jude law in wilde (1997) and lord henry is hugh grant in maurice (1987)
BEWARE SPOILERS
(some quotes are condensed to remove extraneous narration)
“I stand for Baru Cormorant.” And the duchess Tain Hu stepped into the circle, hobnailed boots ringing off the limestone cobble, hair shorn, cheeks slashed in lines of red. “My lady, command me.”
8/10, they havent seen each other in three years, the last time they met they were enemies, and now this dramatic sword lesbian just shows up to be baru’s champion in a duel to defend her honor. highly recommended
“The Fairer Hand,” she intoned, and setting her blade flat across her knee, she knelt. “This is my vow: in life, in death, I am yours.”
7/10, “till death do us part” but goth. this is actually literally just really extra marriage vows.
“What command, my sworn lord?” Not even a little mockery in Tain Hu’s voice.
4/10, you can do better than that. gets a few points for following up a conversation about tain hu’s conquests (military and otherwise). also interesting note: tain hu always calls baru her lord, not her lady. idk if this is just a general linguistic thing, but considering she says queen instead of king it seems deliberate.
“You are the Fairer Hand,” she said, “and I am your field-general, oathbound to earn you victory at any price. I will not shrink from that oath.” And then, her cold breaking, her voice raw and rampant: “I rule a small land, poor in wealth and arms; I have no husband and no heirs, no great alliance and no well-made dams, and thus few strengths to offer my lord beyond my cunning and my loyalty. Do not deny me the exercise of those as well.”
9/10, gayyyyy. also, this is a direct mirror to a page before where baru waxes rhapsodic about duchess nayauru. someone is ~jealous~.
“You don’t know that.” Vultjag’s voice dropped. “I vowed to die for you—don’t make a liar of me.”
4/10. tragic foreshadowing/dramatic irony. im so sorry. fuck.
“Take the throne,” Tain Hu said. “I’m your field-general, sworn to serve. I can’t sit above you.”
2/10, too sad. baru is about to be proposed to by a man. it is gay angst, but still. just talk to each other please.
“What would you have me call you, then? My friend? My sister? You are my queen, or you are not. I swore an oath. When you doubt yourself, you doubt me. Do you doubt me?”
6/10. as a general note, when a woman names you to a position reserved for her consort, she doesnt see you as a sister
“Mm,” Tain Hu said. “Hello. Your Excellence.”
10/10, literally waking up in bed together the morning after, also im pretty sure once you’re engaged to a woman and having sex with her you’re allowed to drop the titles
“Will my death bring advantage to Baru Fisher, my sworn lord?” […] “You owe me nothing. I swore to die for you. So it will be.”
infinity/10
Lestat and Louis Jock and Professor spicy roleplay sketches inspired by @sharkthinkers' new fic "Concatenate"!!
When I read that Lestats' idea of a Jock outfit was a crop top and shorts I knew I had to draw this 😤
Do u ever think about how Gideon's last words were ,,, WEDDING VOWS. And then do u think about how they're the first thing Harrow says when she finally remembers in htn .... AND THEN do u think about how Gideon/Kiriona acknowledges the fact that yeah they were wedding vows in ntn ... BECAUSE I DO. I FUCKING DO.

Harrow the Ninth, chapter 43.

JACOB ANDERSON as LOUIS DE POINTE DU LAC INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (1.01) IN THROES OF INCREASING WONDER...
Straight to the prettiest girl at the party. I admire the aesthetic
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE - 1.02 “…After the Phantoms of Your Former Self”
get yourself a main character whos two primary emotions are "little cunt" and "catatonic with grief"
Unfortunately, it appears AMC+ rejects your non-American credit card after the 7 days trial ends. There's no way to get around this except if you're willing to pay more and get a US virtual CC card with US billing address
However, my suggestion is, to anyone who hasn't used their trial or has another card, to sign up to AMC+ with VPN after the season ends. you can binge watch the season in 7 days and IWTV still gets that sign-up and views numbers.
Hello!! I hope this isn’t an odd/rude question to ask but it’s been on my mind a lot.
And forgive me if any of my assumptions about these characters are incorrect or if I’m just missing something, my media literacy isn’t always awesome hahaha
So anyways, we all know Rosier and Asmodeus’s relationship is pretty unhealthy, but if I’m remembering right I feel like I’ve seen some descriptions of their relationship that imply that they’re Both bad for each other.
Maybe I just wooby-ify Rosier too much because I love him lol, but I honestly have a bit of a hard time not seeing Asmodeus as the sole aggressor/one in the wrong regarding their relationship issues, and mostly only seeing Rosier as a victim of Asmodeus’s assault.
Perhaps Rosier’s wrongdoing just comes from his desire to stay with Asmodeus despite the pain and trauma it left him with? I’m not sure, but I was just wondering if there was something I may have missed that Rosier had done/currently does that would also hurt Asmodeus too?
I mean obviously other than cutting his head off but that was in self defense so I don’t count that haha. But then again, maybe that is what Rosier did wrong? I’m not sure lol
Hi! Not a rude question at all! I really like talking about Rosier (that's why he's getting his whole own novella (in case you didn't know, since I've only discussed this on my newsletter).
Rosier doesn't have... any wrongdoing, so to speak. In terms of his relationship with Asmodeus, he definitely hasn't done anything wrong. Asmo and Rosier are not a case of "they're both bad people so it's fine that they're toxic" (like Lucifer and Baal, for example, or even Lucifer and Michael in A&M). Rosier is a victim and there's not a lot of nuance about it. He was hurt and it wasn't his fault.
I'm not sure if you mean something I've said when you say "descriptions" but if you do, let me explain what I mean when I say that Rosier isn't that "good" of a person. (This isn't going to be "Rosier is toxic and evil too, and he's evil to Asmodeus" because he's not. He has (toxic) codependency issues with Asmodeus, but that doesn't make him evil. I mean, we can understand that as a result of the trauma of losing, you know, God.)
So to make it very clear, let me tell you about demon Rosier without bringing Asmodeus into the equation about Rosier's morality:
Rosier knows what Lucifer is up to all the time. He knows a lot of the awful things Lucifer is responsible for. Rosier might be out of place with the demons, but he's kind to them (see: Baal). He will clean up the blood of innocent people if Lucifer asked him to. He would do it if Baal asked him to. (Even if he's sad about it, he'd still do it). If Baal needed someone to comfort him after a mass murder, Rosier would hold him. If any horrible demon needed a shoulder to cry on, Rosier would offer his.
Rosier is a very kind person. He's actually what happens when you're too kind. He makes excuses and he allows bad people around him to do whatever they want. He's almost a complete bystander. He's not as trapped as he thinks himself to be. And (this is important in his novella) being a "good person" is about more than just smiling at people, it's about not letting bad things happen to innocent people. (Sometimes we read about horrible people irl and we're shocked by the family/friends around the perpetuators that just let them get away from it. We like to imagine they agreed with it, but the truth is that they probably just kept making excuses. They downplayed it because they loved them. (I used to know the son of a very bad man (a guy with a wiki page, so yeah it was bad), and though the man is locked up for life, the son loved his father. He loved him so much he just refused to think about the people his dad hurt. Does this make the son a bad person? Who knows, but it definitely puts his morality into question. I mean, are you really willing to forgive the worst crimes imaginable against innocent people just because you love someone or think that you do?))
This is also why demons can be annoyed with Rosier for acting so angelic. They think that Rosier is just as bad as everyone else just by virtue of never doing anything about the bad things. They think he just wants to feel better about himself.
So returning back to Asmo, yeah Rosier is not the aggressor here. Not even a little. Rosier's imperfect goodness exists even though he's a victim. (I feel like I say this a lot in relation to characters in the series but yeah — you can be a victim and do things of dubious morality). His imperfect goodness exists independent of Asmodeus (Lucifer, Baal, for example) but exists within the context of his love for Asmodeus, as well. Not that Asmodeus is hurt by it. Asmodeus is mostly hurt by his own actions and his own thoughts. If you asked Asmo, I think he would tell you that Rosier's never done anything wrong to him.
Anyway! This is really long! but Rosier's morality is very fun for me to talk about because of how complex it is. There's a line in his novella about how there are 2 kinds of demons: those that kill and those who knowingly welcome the killers home. And Rosier realizes that despite how kind and good he wants to be, despite his intent, he's become the latter.
In essence,
Not much of an ask but an observation I guess. I've seen a lot that people talk about Samyaza/Idith giving sapphic vibes and I agree but I think that there already had been sapphic vibes from book 1 from Moocifer, at least to me. I don't know, something about the shyness and tenderness of them and how they treated each other in book 1 felt quite sapphic to me
That makes me really happy! my friend and i always joked that abm is actually a he/him lesbian angel paradise. one of my fav things about abm, actually, is the room to think of it that way. Lucifer and Michael can feel so traditionally femme x butch at times and their relationship can be read as sapphic very easily. I think it's not just their tenderness but how they encourage one another and see each other as beautiful (I don't think handsome is used once?), as well as the blurry line between friendship and romance and etc. Thank you for the observation! I totally agree with it :)
me on twitter every day: im thinking about loustat again im gonna go spend an hour watching the turning clip in bad quality 0.8x on youtube <3
also me: damn i cant watch ep 3 yet :((((((((
I swear to god I am going to (remembers nothing) (stares directly at the fucking
Ianthe thought she was so fucking smart when she achieved lyctorhood before anyone else without seeing any of the chambers. Thought she was so clever to just eat her cavalier whole against the will of everyone.
How stupid must she have felt when she watched the birth of Paul, and realized that if she'd done more work, tried just a little harder, taken a step back and slowed down she could have united hers and Corona's souls for eternity.
Corona who cried that she hadn't been chosen at her sister's ascension. Ianthe who hadn't chosen her because she couldn't bear to lose her, like a naive fool. Choosing immortality condemned Ianthe to inevitably lose Corona. That moment she started the stop watch, and I'll bet never even realized until that impromptu birthday party.
And to rub it in Paul tells her there is still time for her and Naberius to be perfect, like she cared a scrap about Naberius. but there is no time for her and Corona, she and Corona will never have that chance again.
God she must have screamed and screamed
Anyways those audiobooks
