INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE | 1.03 "Is My Very Nature That of the Devil"

How it started vs. How it's going

A cute and fluffy hualian moment I did for the TGCF Gotcha event that is going on on twitter!

I like this character a normal amount.

*audibly moans whenever I see them*

"he can do no wrong" well actually i think he did a lot of wrong things, and that's specifically what attracted me to him in the first place

You want more minority representation in media but if they have flaws its problematic and if theyre perfect theyre a patronizing mary sue. If they crack under the pressure of the conflict the author thinks that minority is weak and if they overcome the adversity they must be a neoliberal bootlicker who thinks real world bigotry is a matter of personal attitude. You want minority characters but if theyre a villain its violently problematic and if theyre the protagonist then we circle back to the very first sentence. If theyre a side character theyre being sidelined and the author is once again bigoted, and don't you know that every single minority character death is unilaterally bigoted, without exception? You want more minority characters but if their identity is a big part of their personality or struggles then they're problematic and if their identity has nothing to do with their personality or struggles then the author is tokenizing that identity for clout. You want more minority characters but every time theres a minority character who doesnt have every single experience that you have then you tell the author to kill themselves on twitter. You wonder why not even minority authors will write minority characters.

I would ask you to read Catch-22, but you'd just call the military base problematic.

Shoutout to the radish guy in Spirited Away for deciding to go all the way up to the top floor just to make sure Chihiro was safe when presumably he had other shit to do and could just have easily decided this little girl's safety was Not His Problem.

I didn’t realize that was what he was doing !!!

Yeah, he's a customer of the bathhouse, not even a worker, and as such has no need to go to the top floor where Yubaba is. But he stays on the elevator with Chihiro all the way to the top, and even looks around when the door opens as if to make sure the coast is clear.

The fact that he's a radish spirit also means he probably has a strong smell, which would mask Chihiro's own human smell that the other spirits keep picking up. So the Radish guy basically kept her safe until she got a job from Yubaba.

And he doesn't even work there.

This was his time to relax.

And he took time out of his day to make sure a little kid was safe anyway.

This guy for anyone wondering

WHY YOU SHOULD WRITE HORRIBLY:

1. You’ll never write anything if you don’t

can't believe I'm expected to work even though I don't feel like it and would rather not

MOOD
