Why are characters like Lestat
de Lioncourt

and Dorian Gray held up as cautionary tales about the personal cost of immortality, anyway? In both stories, it’s an explicit plot point that they were already insufferable wankers before they became immortal.

The cautionary tale is if your dick friend somehow becomes immortal don’t stick around waiting for it to enlighten them bc they’re just gonna get way more into murder than they were before and not much else

the red eyeshine of the alligator occurs when light enters its eyes, passes through the rods (light receptors) and cones (color receptors) of the retina, strikes a membrane behind the retina called a tapeatum, and is then reflected back through the eye to the light source. most of the animals with eyeshine are, like alligators, night hunters who must make use of limited light. photos by larry lynch and david moynahan

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.
