Please stop trigger tagging with #epilepsy tw/cw/warning/etc.

I need every single person to understand how horrible tumblr’s tagging system is

I go into the tag for epilepsy and its all flashing lights. We can’t use our own tag because people without epilepsy fill it up with improper warnings.

Use ‘flashing’ in place of ‘epilepsy’ in your tags. You aren’t warning people of epileptics, you’re warning us of flashing lights. Please please tag properly. Epileptics say this endlessly and constantly and it’s ignored. You are risking lives by doing this.

Here’s proof of what I mean:

THIS POST IS 100% OKAY TO REBLOG, I ENCOURAGE PEOPLE WITHOUT EPILEPSY TO ESPECIALLY DO SO!

Just to clarify, in case people are wondering: Tumblr allows people to automatically block posts with certain tags.

So that if there is something flashing in your post (or something that causes a flashing effect when scrolling, like the first design I came up with for the Disability Pride Flag), tagging that post with “Flashing” will allow people who do have epilepsy to block that post and not be harmed by it.

(this is also why you should never censor your tags on Tumblr, BTW. We’re not TikTok; you won’t be penalized for having certain words in your tags. But if you alter a tag that people are using to control their own dashboards, it won’t be blocked, and they’ll see something they don’t want to – or be exposed to something that could cause them serious harm).

The discovery represents a potential new way to recruit the immune system to fight treatment-resistant cancers using an iteration of mRNA technology and lipid nanoparticles, similar to COVID-19 vaccines, but with two key differences: use of a patient’s own tumor cells to create a personalized vaccine, and a newly engineered complex delivery mechanism within the vaccine.

Within 48 hours, the four human study participants showed remarkable results: their immune systems went into turbo cancer-destroying mode. And without surgery, radiation, or dangerous chemotherapy.

Folks, we may have a cure for cancer within your lifetime.

  • Louis saying it was a betrayal and that he wants to be punished for it just when he finds happiness again via a hallucination of Lestat is so... ugh. Louis, honey, god. Also him imagining Lestat biting him - as a punishment, but he also wants it so badly, baring his neck, not trying to fight it, offering himself up there, he just wants the connection so badly. 😭 And god, Louis having Lestat call him out on his own denial. Damn. And Louis knowing he invited this Lestat as a distraction.
  • Also... that was definitely foreshadowing to how Louis will think the trial went.
  • And of course it would be a bat. Of course.™
  • Claudia driving them onwards, not giving one shit is just... incredible. Delainey is Claudia.
  • I was also right that she honed her senses and available gifts, more than Louis has his (which fits)
  • Daniel calling their plight the hunt for Moby Dick
  • Claudia is also... beautifully hopeful, and thereby almost desperately (intentionally) naive. She just wants to connect, so badly. To find more of their kind. And closes her eyes to what she sees. *deep sigh*
  • That "Adam and Even and God" comment was hilarious. Oh man, I cannot wait to see what the show will make of / with QotD and Memnoch etc.
  • Not only is Louis aware of forgotten memories now, he actively pursues them, and he has apparently read the missing pages before. And knows he has forgotten.
  • Claudia's diaries are unreliable, too (as predicted). Also, Louis correcting his own tale there, lol. Also: Armand‘s look and suggestion there.
  • Daniel and his little speech as to how he works… you go Daniel. “Here’s almost all the story“ lol
  • “Human affairs“
  • The revenants.... "the blood is bad here" *shivers* - I BET that's already setting up the "turning fails" arc with Amel, right there
  • God that old vampire connecting with Claudia, and then throwing herself into the fire in despair. God.
  • Morgan's arc was nicely condensed, the scene fittingly horrific
  • I live for Claudia speaking all the languages, but I noticed some of the subtitles were wrong
  • Whoever doubted DM happening... well. Sorry, but I AM seeing it. The looks, the smirks, the bitching.
  • Also "real Rashid" (lmao) - who, btw, does not wear a mask! What if the encounter with Eudoxia Marius had went differently and this is Rashid?
  • ... someone wanting to buy a tryptich they haven't even put up for sale... *coughs* Marius? *coughs* (I mean, who else would know they have it? Or the Talamasca, maybe)
  • God that Dubai bedroom screams cage. And Armand controlling even the lights with his little iPad. Someone edit a blender into a screenshot of that scene.
  • The look Lestat gives Claudia at that last part of Louis' little speech. Devastating.
  • Also: the "I do I do I do I do I do"... Louis. Sweetie. I mean, I get it, but still.
  • Armand's comment that the boy from San Francisco is still in Daniel. Now if that is not foreshadowing.
  • A propos foreshadowing: Louis saying he will not choose the fire while Claudia walks the earth. *help*
  • "We cannot be the only good ones". Yeah... about that. -.-
  • Louis being so relieved that what Claudia wrote was not the truth
  • The. Score.
  • Louis pacifying Armand there with the little touches at the end. LOL (the whole setup makes me wonder if ARMAND has also forgotten some things btw). Also that little thank you kiss
  • The Groan. Once more seemingly when Armand is displeased, so it could be a metaphysical manifestation after all, especially since Louis seems to comment on it. (It could also be a red herring, we'll see.)
  • Daniel‘s “we‘ll get to you“ to Armand (lol)
  • Louis‘ guilty look to Lestat when he tries to pep talk Claudia 😭
  • EDIT: there were two very short flahback scenes with a comment to memory, which is setting up the big one later, no doubt about it, ugh

I legit teared up so often.

I have missed them all so much.

It's all I wanted, and more. Cannot wait to scream about it with everyone.

Also, last but not least: can I just say how glad I am our writers are playwrights.

Some of my thoughts on season 2 episode 1 of Interview With The Vampire! Feel free to send me your thoughts on my notes ☺️

  • They gave Delainey SO much to work with this episode- the silent treatment with Louis, the excitement over the revenant vampire, the tragedy of Dacinia, and the emotional moment in the truck with Louis and Dreamstat. She delivered and THEN some.
  • The score was fantastic throughout but the notable moments for me were Claudia emerging from the ground as they showed Delainey’s title card and the You & Me moment with Louis in the truck!
  • SO much to say about the Daniel and Armand moments… that one reviewer who said we don’t get DM moments is insane. The initial story of The Devil’s Minion is Armand becoming fascinated with Daniel after nearly killing him and proceeding to stalk him. Daniel essentially is OK with this, even when Armand starts getting a little bold with his stalking i.e. barging up to him demanding to understand what he’s doing. It’s not outright romance until it was (like a year in?) and Daniel became something like his companion. What I’m trying to get at is it was never a classic love story and we shouldn’t treat it as such or expect it to be, THIS is part of the game of cat and mouse that Armand will play in Dubai. He and Daniel bicker and prod at each other which is WHY Armand grows to love Daniel. Daniel doesn’t take his shit and is so unlike anyone Armand has ever met- ALL WHILE DANIEL GENUINELY LOVES ARMAND. (Need to make a video on this so I can rant and rave)
  • The episode was great and it’s really cool seeing my family and friends interested in the show (you’re welcome AMC). My cousin is particularly picky with her shows and she LOVES it!

Fact: The earliest reliably dated use of the phrase “fucked up” appears in the court records of a US Navy court-martial case from 1863; the way the phrase is used suggests that its meaning was already well known at the time, but this is the first known printed record of it that we can confidently put a date to.

Additional fact: Bram Stoker’s Dracula is set in 1897.

Conclusion: It would not anachronistic for your Dracula fanfic to have a character describe the Count as a fucked up old man.
