Romance Dawn Trio

Yang and Dean

OK so has anyone realized just how similar Yang from RWBY and Dean from Supernatural are I mean hear me out both have spent most of their lives protecting and rising their younger sibling (Yang and Ruby) (Dean and Sam) both have absent parents (Yang and Raven) (Dean and John) both hide behind some kind of mask to cover up how they really feel did I meantion both both have a parent like figure who has died (Summer and Yang) (Bobby and Dean) both have parents who has/had closed themselves off from everyone after the lost of a love one (Taiyang and Summer) (John and Mary) this is just to name a few I mean there's still more if I missed something or made a mistake let me know but I have to say this is awsome to see that my too favorite characters are so alike yet so different I love it

ALL CAPS.

i love being well adjusted :')

louis is going down as one of the characters of all time btw. there's something about characters who are so deeply repressed in every facet of their lives continuously fighting for happiness, yet ultimately unable to achieve that happiness because they've denied themselves for so long that they no longer know what they actually want vs what they've convinced themselves to chase.

and it's fascinating, because that's so clear in the way that louis conceptualizes happiness by fighting for the things previously denied to him; the spectre of his perceived failures as a human haunt him and preclude the possibility at any new lease on happiness in the future. he wants to buy the fairplay because he links success with respect, and respect with fulfillment: the idea that as soon as his (white) peers are forced to admit he's a better businessman than them, he'll be happy. except he isn't happy, because there is no goal post at which point they'll accept he's smarter or more capable than them, and so instead he's forced back into a game that will never fulfill him, no matter how powerful or capable he becomes.

and then he tries to build a family, tries to surround himself with people who he can care for and who he can have a positive impact on, building connections for himself and bringing meaning to his life. which also doesn't work, because he's simultaneously haunting and haunted by his human family, and there's no way for him to reconcile what he's lost with what he's gained. he wants grace, and he could have grace, but he's spent his entire life knowing that every facet of himself is unacceptable to society, that he can't admit what he is without also being condemned for it. and it doesn't matter that grace isn't society, that grace would accept him - he is, to his own mind, an unacceptable thing. to admit what he is out loud could only lead to catastrophe, because to think anything less is dangerous to the very principles that allow him to exist.

and so instead of having grace in his life, he has claudia. and he can love claudia and he can adore claudia, but he can not find a connection to humanity in her, because she isn't and doesn't want to be human. he has, in his quest to find meaning and connection with humanity, surrounded himself with monsters.

and then he has lestat. lestat who, for all his grandiosity and hedonism and theatricality, is just as festering a pool of repression as louis is. he's a person who can be anyone, so long as anyone is someone who is seen and adored and wanted, because to be wanted is to be happy.

and so you have louis, a man who can't admit what he wants, because admittance is vulnerability, and vulnerability is death; and you have lestat, a man who needs to be wanted, because if you aren't wanted you're abandoned, and abandonment is a fate worse than death.

and then they both try to get happy.

Did this before the serie came out and I'm glad It wasnt too far off lmao

Ink Series - 4/? Part 3: here

-like/reblog ☑, do not repost!-

The four horsemen of "franchise which definitely has flaws but alotta people who hate on it have never touched it remotely and some that have over exaggerated alot"

it’s the 21st day of the 21st year of the 21st century.

you can only reblog this today.

the insane thing about the babytrapping storyline in iwtv is that neither louis nor lestat were actually trapping the other because neither of them really wanted to leave and the only one who ended up truly trapped was the baby herself

🍒Red characters!
