interview with the vampire (1994)

When you are making Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest look like the best mother ever.

I mean, you know things are fucked if even the RNC thought it was too racist for air.

So at one of my jobs I work with this really nice woman named Liz who has an equally nice boyfriend. Thing is, I don’t know the boyfriends name because Liz only addresses him as boytoy. The term boytoy is used so frequently to describe him that not only does she have no problem using that term but neither do any of her coworkers including myself. One day Liz told me that he would be stopping by and when some dude with a beard came through the door I looked at him and said, “Mr.toy I presume.” And he just looks at me and goes; “The very one.” 

Fucking eh. Relationship goals.

…WE HAVE BEEN INTO HOUSES WHERE THE CHILDREN HAD MANY TOYS AND BROUGHT THEM EVEN MORE TOYS, AND IN HOUSES LIKE THIS THE CHILDREN GET PRACTICALLY NOTHING.

“Huh, we’d have given anything to get practically nothing when I was a lad,” said Albert.

BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT, IS THAT IT?

“That’s about the size of it, master. A good god line, that. Don’t give ‘em too much and tell ‘em to be happy with it. Jam tomorrow, see?”

THIS IS WRONG, Death hesitated. I MEAN…IT’S RIGHT TO BE HAPPY WITH WHAT YOU’VE GOT. BUT YOU’VE GOT TO HAVE SOMETHING TO BE HAPPY ABOUT HAVING. THERE’S NO POINT BEING HAPPY ABOUT HAVING NOTHING.

Albert felt a bit out of his depth with this new tide of philosophy. “Dunno,” he said. “I suppose people’d say they’ve got the moon and the stars and suchlike.”

I’M SURE THEY WOULDN’T BE ABLE TO PRODUCE THE PAPERWORK.

“All I know is, if Dad’d caught us with a big bag of pricey toys we’d have just got a ding round the ear hole for nicking ‘em.”

IT IS…UNFAIR.

“That’s life, master.”

BUT I’M NOT.

“I meant, this is how it’s supposed to go, master,” said Albert.

NO. YOU MEAN THIS IS HOW IT GOES. […] IT IS HOGSWATCH, said Death, AND PEOPLE DIE ON THE STREETS. PEOPLE FEAST BEHIND LIGHTED WINDOWS AND OTHER PEOPLE HAVE NO HOMES. IS THIS FAIR?

““Well, of course, that’s the big issue-” Albert began.

THE PEASANT HAD A HANDFUL OF BEANS, AND THE KING HAD SO MUCH HE WOULD NOT EVEN NOTICE THAT WHICH HE GAVE AWAY. IS THIS FAIR?

“Yeah, but if you gave it all to the peasant then in a year or two, he’d be just as snooty as the king-” began Albert, jaundiced observer of human nature.

NAUGHTY AND NICE? said Death. BUT IT’S EASY TO BE NICE IF YOU’RE RICH. IS THIS FAIR?

I heard you fam’~ The cry for more long haired Nicky as well as more crusader times was very strong, so I had to comply.

However, over on discord kind people are throwing mad ideas at me and even though my back said no, my muses said yes so there we go- you get a two for one deal! Nicky and Joe from the crusades to now~ (n they’re still just as dirty n bloody lol)

May I also introduce you to additional goodies: Crusader time outfits inspired by the originaly AC aaaaaand Comic complient height difference! OwÓ~  first time I saw in the comics how much taller Nicky was compared to Joe I may or may not have had a mild seizure. And during that seizure a voice told me that it is now my holy mission to spread the good word n somehow make it happen with the movie actors too. I hope I succeeded :’D

and… you’re welcome? lol  I also put this one up in my shop cause I just really like how it turned out

(ps: click the link- this amazing lady took an already fantastic song n gave it a completely new flavour with her indie version of it. freaking love it!)

I'm still wondering why they hyped Carmichael on the trailer, only for him to show up in a few short scenes then end up dead eaten by the Handler...First of that was a Five's thing, second the Handler is super creepy towards Five and is a problematic character since season one so why the fuck they did Carmichael so dirty and resurrected that bitch... Carmichael had so much potential and was so fun...

Saw this on Essence Magazine’s Snapchat and thought it would be helpful💕

Finally I finished. If you know some interesting historical persons, please write me about them:)

Rutger Bregman is the Dutch historian who became a global sensation after an appearance at this year’s Davos summit, where he accused attending billionaires of ignoring taxation. Now he has created another viral moment in an extremely uncomfortable interview with Fox News’s Tucker Carlson.

Bregman so riled Carson with his accusations of hypocrisy, critiques of Fox’s conservative agenda, and attacks on Donald Trump that the TV host called him a “moron” and angrily told him: “Go fuck yourself.”

Lot more people around the world are going to watch this now than if it actually aired. Speaking truth to power is the best viral content!

AHS: Hotel Scenes that We Deserve to See

- James and Elizabeth’s status leading up to how he proposed and what the proposal scene looked like 

- Elizabeth saying yes to the proposal (even though she said she never wanted to be alone, she wasn’t technically settling when she attracted many richer and kinder men) 

- James’ and Elizabeth’s first kill together

- what led to James and Elizabeth’s child (it couldn’t have been just that one time, and I seriously doubt that it wasn’t consensual like all of the time) 

- James’ first look at his child, noticing his features, and his thoughts on the child, what was his reaction

- how James was allowed to see his and Elizabeth’s child (did she end up showing him, did James go looking for the baby, did James stumble upon its room, did James find out and confront Elizabeth?)

- James noticing Elizabeth’s change from human to immortal and changing her drinking selection from wine to blood

- when Elizabeth realized she was pregnant with James’ child

- when James noticed Elizabeth’s pregnancy

- when Elizabeth lost her hopeful spirit and became the Countess

- when Elizabeth first asked James to call her the Countess from then on

- when James came back to the Cortez as a ghost and first realized it and who he first went to 

- how Elizabeth got the name the Countess (James maybe renamed her)

- Miss Evers learning of James and Elizabeth’s baby and her thoughts on the actual child

- where Elizabeth was during James’ death, how she found him, and her reaction

- James’ last thoughts before he died (maybe Elizabeth?)

- the first conversation James and Elizabeth had when he first became a ghost and how they arrived at the arrangement they made to have dinner together every month 

- James March and Liz Taylor’s first meeting and what James’ thought of Liz and how they got along to James letting Liz stay without any threats of death

- James and Elizabeth both talking about their new apprentice and discovering them to both be talking about Tristan

- James watching Elizabeth’s old films and looking for her in the background, pointing her out, knowing she doesn’t want to remember any of those

- the first time Elizabeth picked up a man to join her, and James’ reaction, knowing he is dead but still hurt 

AHS: HOTEL Important Things that Should be Noted

- James March and Elizabeth had a child (which she did not kill even though it meant it was a product of her AND James’ intimacy)

- James knew about the child he and Elizabeth had that Elizabeth had kept secret, and chose to not let any harm come to it by his hand

- when James first showed Will Drake his and Elizabeth’s son, he never once offended the child, merely stated the facts, and allowed the child its own room in the hotel (not being chastised by Elizabeth when she found him with Will Drake in her child’s room as he was only trying to point out how he would never love her child or treat him with respect)

- in their many arguments, James and Elizabeth, never once did Bartholomew, their son, come up as it seems they established where they stood on that a long time ago with little retaliation 

- when James was caught by the police and killed himself, he admitted to John that spouses are not useful, thinking that Elizabeth had turned him in, but had forgiven her because of her great beauty (although we know that’s not all he likes about her;)

- James described the Countess as ‘a vision of Heaven’

- In Flicker, James noticed Elizabeth missing from the Cortez’s opening week celebration (after one glance at her, he knew she was special), and found her trying to kill herself. Instead of watching the gory scene unfold before him (let’s face it, James never misses a chance to watch a death unfold in some way, especially a woman’s) he saves her and pulls her away from the chance to end her life

- James realized that Elizabeth was even better than he had first seen when he held her from her attempted suicide and saw the monster beneath her beauty; the rage beneath the heartbreak

- James wanted to provide her with a steady hand when she first became a ghost, not letting her go it alone 

- James treated Elizabeth like a Queen, never dishonoring her authority and doing whatever he could to get what she wanted

- James never tolerated Miss Evers rudeness towards Elizabeth and even sent her packing when he found out she turned him in and had him thinking that Elizabeth had done it instead 

- Elizabeth agreed to attend monthly dinners with James even when he was dead and she could call the shots

- when Elizabeth reunited with her former lovers and James overheard the conversation, shedding a few tears that the audience thought they would never see from a man like him, proving his deep devotion and twisted form of love for her 

- Elizabeth always got dressed up for her dinners with James (wanting to impress someone, I assume?)

- when Miss Evers asked for James’ love in return and James began to walk to where she was kneeling on the ground, Elizabeth loses her calm demeanor and shifts uncomfortably in her seat, as if she is nervous that James may actually choose Miss Evers over her, not being able to take her eyes off the scene in worriment (she even dropped her cigarette to give this moment all her focus)

- at the moment James tells Miss Evers to get out, Elizabeth seems stunned by him in that moment, too stunned to smile at his choice, but seems to be stunned in a good way by him, almost as if she felt more attracted to him in that moment for his boldness and force

-  James only looks on Miss Evers with disappointment when she calls Elizabeth a whore, not giving her any satisfaction, and Elizabeth begins to inform Miss Evers of how she has nothing when she disrespects James, her confidence back and ready to stand by James’ side

- when Miss Evers commented on Elizabeth resenting every minute she was obligated to be with James, James raises an eyebrow and turns to meet Elizabeth’s eye, as if asking if this was true, to which she met Miss Evers gaze with a confident expression in knowing that the maid was wrong for once

- Elizabeth was the first one to pick up the glass in the final dinner scene as if to propose a toast to James for his actions and for the two of them

- when James’ suggests the idea of a toast, Elizabeth nods in a knowing way with a smile of her own, knowing that they had gone through so much to get here and knowing that they needed each other 

- Elizabeth, being known for her cocky remarks and having the final say had no words in their final toast and dinner together, no lash backs of any kind as if giving James his proper respect

- how James’ describes how glad he is to have Elizabeth by his side once again, you can tell how his words are as true as his love for her in that moment

- in James’ final words in his speech, Elizabeth seems almost too moved to say anything, knowing there was nothing to be said, but that James had said all the right things

- EVEN though James killed many of the men Elizabeth loved (making her want to do anything to bring him pain) she never took credit for turning him in to the police (even though she had said it would have brought her great satisfaction to see her get under his skin)

- the Countess even proves this point by telling him how she does all her kills herself, James knowing this to be true and begin to doubt why he ever distrusted her

- Elizabeth admitted that if she wanted James dead during the time they were both still living in the Cortez, she would have done it herself (by the way, she didn’t, meaning she never wanted him dead)

You hear that all you haters of this couple? That even though Elizabeth felt no feelings towards James when they had married, she was drawn to his darkness. During their honeymoon, she walked into a room to find him murdering someone, this being somewhat of a test on Elizabeth’s part to see how she would feel towards James’ hobbies. Elizabeth’s answer helped James realize he had made the right choice in marrying only her and knew that this was not some conquest. Even as Elizabeth went on in pain from being abandoned by people she loved, she came to tolerate James, eventually forgiving him for saving her that fateful day, and coming to care for him in her own way. Elizabeth may have gotten mad at him and did not love him in that way, but she did have a special place for James in her heart. Even in death where she would be trapped in the same hotel as James, she decided she would reside by him and went to him first for guidance, knowing she could always turn to him for help. And that is why I love these two, especially together. 

*Also, it should be mentioned that whenever someone or something threatened these two in some way, shape, or form, they took a stand next to each other and helped one another through it without question or argument.

Opinions/Advice

I work in a hotel and my friend also happens to work in the same hotel with me. We both work front desk but on the side but I also do waitressing for the kitchen for breakfast 2x a week. I was having dinner after work with my friend/coworker and I was discussing how I’m confused how I’m getting paid more on my paychecks when I’m getting less hours but she reminded my tips are getting added in too (so my pay of 11.50xhoursxtips). She calculated for me on her phone and it did add up but then she realized she’s getting paid less (only $11.25 hourly). Over the next few days we discussed and she felt that she should at least also get paid $11.50 hourly because they want her to work as front desk executive management and we’re having a lot of changes to the hotel and staff. Front desk has been getting more and more responsiblity that usually upper management wouldn’t let us do without their approval, she feels she should be compensated for that because she works full time (I don’t) even if it is .25 cents. And I agreed, they are constantly pushing her to the brink of what she can handle and when other coworkers demand a pay raise or else they would quit (and they have). She texted our manager about maybe getting some answers. Our manager told her that I was paid differently because we negotiated my pay rate at my interview (slightly untrue) and that talking to other employees about their pay rates is against code of conduct in the employee handbook (it’s not, I looked and also it’s against the law for there to even be a policy about that). Now, my manager wants to speak to us separately and my coworker has heard for our operations manager that she is planning to write us up/reprimanding us for talking about our wages.

So, I’m just asking in this situation what would you do? My coworker says she’s going to quit if she gets a write up but I think it would be best to talk to our corporate management company (HR).
