I haven’t actively been keeping track of the exact number of times Lestat has burst into tears in TVL but the cry count has got to be at least 5 or 6 and we’re not even done with the Marius flashback section

I guess I know what I’m reading next

re: my last repost, this is why I make sure to buy physical copies of the books and tv shows/movies I truly love and would be devastated to lose access to if the internet one day blipped out of existence

People don't long for "inconvenience." They long for permanence. And though streaming services may be convenient, people are waking up to the fact that we are paying rent-seeking middle men month after month for things we will never actually own.

a genuine fear of mine is that the actor playing marius will do such a good job that it'll prevent me from hating the character as effectively as i currently do

Body Thief has a great one too

“Some people should not be granted a poetic license” The people in question:

in preparation for TVL, here are three of my favourite instances of Lestat dunking on Louis for being an unreliable narrator (spanning from book two all the way to the final book in the series, truly iconic behaviour)

I can’t believe it’s finally time for me to get this subscription up and running again :’)

HE’S RIGHT AND HE SHOULD SAY IT

I should not find this so endearing and yet!!! [spoilers for TVL]

thank god sam reid can sing because what would they do for season 3 otherwise

Even heated rivalry could not make me care about hockey but I *do* care about Montreal and love seeing the PWHL thrive so 🎉

I feel like I need to interject some sapphic book content in between obsessing over these vampires so let me take this opportunity to YELL about how much I adored Atmosphere by Taylor Jenkins Reid. Space lesbians in the 80s! Thats right, lesbians in space!!!!

<insert laughing toad gif here>

!!!!!!!!!!!!

trying to dodge tvl spoilers on the iwtv subreddit like i'm britney spears in the toxic music video

I just read this think piece about the current state of fandom (it has a brief case study about IWTV) and it reminded me of two of my favourite memes about this show: buttondown.com/curmudgeondo...

Beautiful Unwell, get ready to take a deep dive into The Vampire Lestat. AMC announced details for the new companion series The Vampire Lestat: After Dark. mynightsarebooked.com/the-vampire-...

It’s time for the reread:

i'm the real butterscotch bitch here because i cannot stop listening to this track on repeat

did not expect to hear the word 'toesies' sung so earnestly this morning but that's just how Lestat rolls I guess 😂

It's his era now. #TheVampireLestat debuts June 7 exclusively on AMC and AMC+.

I forgot what it feels like to be filled with so much joy and anticipation for when someone I love returns after a long absence

Had convos w/ multiple people in the past 4 days who DID NOT KNOW that 1. AI doesn't "think" or know anything; it's a probability machine 2. It was created using massive amounts of work stolen from actual people including me 3. The environmental costs are astronomical Spread the word, every time!

I'm trying to convince my entire book club to read Interview with the Vampire before season 3 airs so the obsession bubble can expand

i just realized i am the only person on my entire team who has seen buffy. how is this possible

THERE'S A NEW JON RONSON BOOK COMING OUT IN SEPTEMBER I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT FOR YEARS www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/318255...

!!!

*aggressively refreshes Libby to grab KJ Charles' new book the second it becomes available*

Reading ‘We Had to Remove Your Post’ right after finishing ‘Brainwyrms’ was maybe not my best idea given the general apocalyptic state of every social media platform in the year 2026

Can’t help but be in awe of any woman brave enough to use an eyelash curler on a rush hour subway train

I AM UNWELL

Do you understand how weird it is to keep seeing my neighbourhood in the IWTV promo clips and trailers

Outlander certainly made Some ChoicesTM in the last episode but it does crack me up that, show or book, my problematic namesake Percy Wainwright is always at the scene of the crime

my mood before (🫩) and after (🥹) eating a peanut butter and jelly sandwich on fresh bread

Listen … listen … awaiting season 3 is basically the only thing keeping me going right now

I just muttered, "sometimes a gal just wants some garbage," while shoving sour patch kids in my mouth so i'd say my weekend is off to a great start

Dr. Santos, my beloved, collecting colleagues to turn into unlikely BFFs at the end of each season of The Pitt

Lots of AI/writing posts going around. Let this one be the one you read today. (and follow & hire @juliescheina.com for your editorial needs!)

@mckatkat.bsky.social I just finished A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice (the revised edition) and he drops this incredible piece of Taltos lore in the afterward that I thought you’d appreciate too

of course you CAN use AI to "write" your book but you run the risk of a lethally derisive colson whitehead materializing in your office to call you a hacky motherfreaker www.nytimes.com/2026/04/15/o...

yes, everything right now is horrible, but i am genuinely delighted by how pierre p is verb the noun'ing his way into jd vance territory

a person in my book club discord just happened to mention Armand in passing (in a conversation I was not even part of) and yet I felt like Beetlejuice being summoned

having one of those days where all I want to do is listen to The Boxer by Simon & Garfunkel on repeat while banging my head against a wall

"The Pitt" vs. its fandom: Why is the show's vocal fandom putting "The Pitt's" characters on trial to be deemed “good” or “bad"? This week's newsletter buttondown.com/NinaWatchesE...

there is a reason romance readers are such sticklers for the HFN/HEA convention because I just finished a book that I *thought* was a romance going into it and ... it very much was not. Which I did not discover until the epilogue.

i ended up going down a historical rabbit hole in the city archives trying to figure out how old my building is for rental insurance purposes and found a map of my neighbourhood from the 1800s that doesn't even exist in a digital format
