Sir Terry Pratchett Is A Master Of The Written Word But He Ain’t Shit For The Way He Trained Me To

Thinking about IWTV, as I often do, and I think for me Lestat is Claudia's mother, in a sense. There is a real toxic mother/daughter vibe to their relationship - both of them being jealous of each other over Louis' affection, how Louis begs Lestat to make Claudia a vampire - kind of analogous to a man pressuring his wife into having a child when she's the one who's got to actually go through the pregnancy. The fact they piss each other off in part because they're so similar - they dislike their own reflection in each other. But Lestat does love her, so deeply, but by the time he can actually get past all of that petty bullshit, it's too little, too late.

Hey man I’m just happy to be in this dark and scary woods with you

One thing about old men, they do be napping.

Okay but I've been thinking about this more, about how the Aes Sedai are so similar to the bene gesserit.

It is so amazing to me all the media that has taken inspiration from dune so directly

Now I have not read the books, and do not know in what ways the show diverges from the source material

But I got to say, the wheel of time season finale was a play by play of dune (of which I have read)

Like, the foretold chief of a desert people, who was not raised amongst those people, yet swiftly learns their ways, who can wield great powers and see the history of that people, and brings water to the desert

That IS Paul Muad'dib Atreides

My odes to Brando Sando so far 🫡

Henry of Skalitz || Kingdom Come Deliverance II

Wanted to paint my current playthrough Henry, early on in the game, very humble lad just trying to survive 💛

Spent all his money on a haircut but it looks like it just grew out from being on the road 😂
