Avavav Always Has The Most Interesting Concepts

Thinking of the larger context of LOTR and like, the fellowship swapping old war stories and shit and Sam just says “Yeah I killed a huge spider…Shelob, I think?”

And Gandalf just blinks and is like, “You what now?”

“Yeah, killed it. Had to save Frodo”

Gandalf elects not to tell Sam that he killed the spawn of a primordial demon.

me: what about kudos??

ao3: you’ve already left kudos

me: i’ve left one, yes. but what about Second Kudos

Louis using himself as a bargaining chip to save Claudia and Daniel’s lives vs Daniel using his body as a bargaining chip to get Armand to free him vs Armand stating that he was used as a bargaining chip for art vs Lestat’s body being the chip that saved him from death unlike all the other blue-eyed blonde corpses he found himself surrounded with vs Claudia using herself to bargain with Lestat to save Louis by telling him she’s the one he hates vs Madeleine using herself as a bargaining chip and sleeping with a Nazi soldier so she wouldn’t starve

okay so the wilds got canceled for low viewership and negative responses, first kill got canceled for not holding viewership long enough and negative responses, paper girls again got canceled for low viewership, and warrior nun *checks notes* oh warrior nun had overwhelmingly positive responses but got canceled for not holding viewership long enough… weirdly tho these “low viewership” numbers are incredibly similar to many shows that did get renewed and did get largely promoted-namely heartstopper, young royals, elite— so i cant help but wonder if maybe maybe low viewership isnt the problem at all. and that maybe maybe the problem is the other thing that is shared by all of these shows, which is their main love story being wlw and their primary audience being sapphics. and that maybe maybe these shows were never meant to be renewed, as the disparity in promotional investment is obvious, because of that very reason. maybe that has something to do with it. fuck netflix and fuck streaming.

Gets funnier every time.

If ur ever confused over why Armand is acting that way and doing all those crazy evil things just picture a shaking crying child with terrified eyes who can’t remember his mother’s face and a teenaged slave who gets black out drunk every day and is bleeding out from bite makes and beating scars fighting over the control panels of their collective dead eyed robot and desperately trying to animate the empty corpse that the coven named Armand so that it’ll hopefully pass for human. That is basically how Armand’s brain is functioning 24/7 😭
