I am so completely taken by venetia, i think she is everything. She went through so much and i feel like we dont talk abt it enough.
The entire movie we re aware that she is battling anorexia and when she finally thought she found someone who could accept her as she was and someone who would love the more “disgusting” parts of her she was betrayed and let down and left alone in the cold.
Then theres the whole Henries thing, where everyone especially Elspeth, just sweep under the rug the fact that she would get touched or full on assaulted by them and elspeth just makes a silly quip “we can sit you next to oliver he ll molest you” and we just move on like its nothing.
And her final monologue is packed with so much pain and courage. Shes outwardly calling out oliver, shes putting a mirror up to his face and showing him what he is and that shes figured him out, as he stands there dumbfounded trying to get out of it.
And her death was so undeserving. We can see blood not only in the tub but also on the floor. Maybe showing that she regretted it and tried to get out to call for help but no one came and so she died alone knowing who put those blades there knowing she was betrayed and used in Olivers scheme to get to felix.
I just think Venetia Catton is brilliant.
Tbh "these characters are a package deal" is always fun. Platonic, romantic, whatever: it's fun. Where one goes, the other shall surely follow.
Oliver definitely listens to Mitski
just had a devastating realization about 1780s lesmand which is that lestats first instinct with armand is always to treat him sweetly and brush his hair and polish him up and all that whereas armand coming back to sexuality for the first time in 250 years would have as his only reference for consensual sex being. amadeo. oh boy
"Average age of Minecraft player is 63" factoid actually just statistical error. The vampire Armand, who is 514, lives in Dubai & spends approx. 7.5 hours a day playing is an outlier adn should not have been counted

Humans didn't make the big ben. Do you really think those dumbass Britains could make a clock that big? Those big gears are way too heavy, how'd they get those up there. No way. It was the beasts
