Relationship with Akasha?

devilsfool:

Complicated and then, in another light, frighteningly simple. 

I loved her. I worshipped her. She re-baptized me into darkness and wanted my total love and fealty in return. How could she know that it was the one thing I could not give?

She chose me; whether that was because I’m a fool or because she truly loved me I’ll never get to know. 

Oh, my darling. I’m so sorry. 

scarab: have you ever eaten a bug? siren: do you ever sing in the shower? angel: what are three things you love about one of your close friends? (you can name them or not) goblin: what do you fear losing the most?

devilsfool:

Scarab: No, though I’ve felt them in my mouth before. It’s rather part and parcel of burying oneself in the earth. 

Siren: Yes, absolutely. 

Angel: David Talbot, then. 1) His listening skills, 2) His total lack of judgement when it comes to me, 3) His unfailing love. 

Goblin: My mind.

pop culture intertextuality is just so damn *fascinating*

today a parody movie (50 shades of black) comes out, based on the 50 shades of grey movie, which was based on the 50 shades book, which was based on twilight, which was somewhat based on interview with the vampire (which anne rice based on an earlier short story she wrote), which was based on Dracula and other vampire stories, which originally came from Dr. John Polidori’s The Vampyre (even though Vampires were a thing in folk tales before then, he was the one who made them all classy, etc.)

so really, like so many things, this is all Lord Byron’s fault.
