their achilles heels cut the way slaves' were cut. the monstrous racist caricatures drawn. louis depicted as a violent, unstable, and predatory man. not allowing them to speak. the abuser crying about his loneliness as the entire crowd cries with him. louis begging on his knees and telling lestat he'll never leave him, will do whatever he wants, will always be happy, if he just turns claudia. even when lestat admits his faults the crowd sides with him. armand saying lestat took the pieces of louis life and reframed them to build an effigy to lestat as if he didn't do the exact same. claudia telling lestat and louis it was never about her. "i could not prevent it" as he controls an entire crowd. claudia singing "i dont like windows when they close" as she dies. louis buried in rocks and the rocks in the dubai penthouse. the absence of metaphor is striking.

i spent nearly an hour going through brian’s old tweets and found these gems worth sharing

ADDAMS FAMILY VALUES 1993, dir. Barry Sonnenfeld

This had such good meme potential I couldn’t resist

don’t think i can call it a hyperfixation anymore fam im afraid im just long term insane about this piece of media

Ending is sad: ouch

Ending is happy: nice

Ending is bittersweet: I'm going to think about this every day for the rest of my life
