Disney+ still doesn't have the Aladdin show available, surely as an insult to me personally. Theyre mad the naga episode made me a scalie. To this I say, I think that is their fault

In that first screencap she's even injuring Aladdin accidentally with her amazing snake strength. Hello

the thing is, stephen king is generally pretty good at creating complex, well-rounded characters, which makes it all the more jarring when one of those characters abruptly comes out with what i'll term a "kingism". i don't know how best to define a kingism other than "you'll know it when you see it". it's the voice of the author intruding on the voice of the character, and in this case the voice of the author has a bad sense of humour and is ravenously, inexplicably horny

random example of a kingism aka "he would not fucking say that"

this too is a kingism

one of the hallmarks of a kingism is that when a character is being Horny On Main (or In Maine), they can never do it in a normal way. they have to come up with a sequence of words that nobody has ever said before in the history of the english language. here's another example:

Working out together

at what point do we admit that while organic bigotry is a huge factor in the genesis of all the Like That, the reputation-destroying every minute of every day furious obsession indicates that Something Else is going on

She's fucking online all the time and no one around her feels they can ground her or can afford to give her pushback. That said this kind of radicalization is all over, she just happens to be famous so well know about it. But many of us have an aunt or uncle who went off the deep end when they retired because they're going down insane rabbit holes online

I Would laugh. maybe even giggle. if it was revealed that Devil's Minion didn't actually happen in the 70's like everybody thinks it did. I mean. I dunno. I think that modern day Daniel could handle a stalking. I do, I think that he could handle it!!

Louis slightly misremembering whether Claudia was in the room when Emilia described all the bad things that have been happening in the village, Louis reading what Claudia wrote in her diary about not having dreams and internalizing it as the truth--I love how this episode really goes out of its way to reestablish that what we're dealing with when it comes to Louis has much more to do with the fallibility (and malleability) of memory, rather than outright lies or obfuscation. Felt very pointed to me.

this is so funny because he doesn't know the eve of the damned is real she's aaliyah hot and he's going to have beef with her for stealing his man

nor does he know that her real-life son is also out there and he is not going to help even a little bit

“Be….a….good…..master!”

"the TVC vampires can forgive anything" yeah that's clear from the fact they don't kill one another for publishing these books

I mean, I guess when you know that other person is going to be around forever, your only two choices are to kill them or to find a way to coexist. (Or seal them up in some kind of oubliette, which is just putting off the inevitable.) And when there are so relatively few beings on Earth who can truly understand what it's like to be you, I can't imagine it would be an easy thing to cut even one of them completely out of your life with no hope of reconciliation.

I think people have been misinterpreting this part. I don't think this was that Marius was yelling at Armand they're too nicey for mass killings now. Actually, I think this is more him pondering the Children of Satan.

That Marius only destroyed Children of Satan who managed to track him down, rather than seek them out and slaughter them wholesale, as Pandora suggested, cost him both Pandora and eventually Armand.

All joking aside, from Blood & Gold onward, Marius is far more proactive about potential threats.

Armand: we should exterminate them
