listen ok so i made some good jokes yesterday about Lestat having an onlyfans but i am back today with a new essay and this one is entitled

Why The Invention Of Social Media Is Going to Permanently Save Loustat's Fucking Marriage

come on this journey with me.

ok so on one hand we have Louis, who does not like to leave the house except when he absolutely fucking has to and even then he resents it. my man wants to be at home with a book 100% of the time and he's so fucking valid for that. When he leaves the house, bad things happen to him. He has learned this and honestly i can't fault his evidence. it sucks out there. it truly incredibly sucks out there.

the problem is that sometimes he is married to lestat, who starts clawing at the walls if people aren't paying attention to him for 12 consecutive seconds, and being Out Of The House is the best place for him to go foraging for People To Pay Attention To Him. my man once had a rock star career the way that some people get addicted to meth brewed in a trashcan in someone's garage. Louis, through no fault of his own, is simply not capable of filling this psychological need no matter how hard he tries, except he should not even HAVE to try like that, because no one can do it, because Lestat is fucked up and like wasn't hugged enough as a child or something

this imbalance in their relationship is the core source of all their marital problems since day 1: THIS man's idea of a good time is chilling on the sofa in silence and maybe staring contemplatively at the wall for a while, and THIS man starts self-destructing at a truly astonishing rate if no one is making eye contact with him. If you make Louis go outside and socialize with people, he's miserable and sulking and whining about "are we done can we go home". If you make Lestat sit in silence in a chair for five minutes he starts crying and claiming that No One Has Ever Loved Him, Ever, Ever, And No One Understands Him, And He Hates Everyone In This House and He Is Being Actively Neglected And Cruelly Mistreated Right Now And No One Even Bothers To Feel Sorry For Him, This Is BASICALLY Domestic Violence Against Him Personally, If Only Anyone Knew About The Quiet Hidden Tragedies Of An Unhappy Marriage, and then he breaks some furniture and a window and isn't seen again for six weeks and comes back like "you will not believe what just happened, i [checks notes] met Merlin and also a dragon who gave me three wishes, brb i'm going to write another book about it :))))"

all you fucking have to do to fix their problems is to hand Lestat a cellphone and say the words "do you know about social media? you can say whatever shit you want and there's always someone awake in some time zone to talk to you." Suddenly Lestat is now very interested in sitting quietly on the couch, Lounging Alluringly and posting thirst traps on instagram and finally getting emotional fulfillment from all the likes and comments of "omg???? omg this is the hottest man alive". he does not have to leave the house anymore to get his attention meth. His yawning abyss of neediness is being fulfilled by having parasocial relationships with millions of strangers online who all think he's sexy and don't have to experience how fucking awful he is up close. he can flirt pointlessly with 200 people at once which is FINALLY ENOUGH FLIRTATIONS FOR HIM TO SATISFACTORILY JUGGLE

Meanwhile Louis is 3 feet away, vaguely reflecting to himself that HE is feeling all emotionally fulfilled because they're spending this great Quality Time together in perfect silence while he reads his book and Lestat plays on his cellular telephone and only OCCASIONALLY giggles to himself or says "louis which of these photos do you think is sexier, the one with four buttons undone or the one with five buttons undone" Louis is feeling like his Opinion is being Valued, Louis feels like he is being Consulted on Matters that are Important To Lestat. He has opinions about the photographs. It is not that much trouble to be interrupted from staring philosophically at the wall to spend five seconds looking at a photograph and then saying "that one". Finally he is experiencing Cozy Domesticity. he is so horny about it. lestat is surprised and bewildered about the sudden sharp increase in the amount of sex he is now getting but before he can make any vaguely mean comments about it (bc he's confused and vaguely defensive and worried that it's going to stop out of nowhere and he doesn't know any other interpersonal skills for expressing a thought) his phone pings about how he's just broken 5 million followers on instagram and he totally forgets to even mention the sex thing, which means that he continues getting the sex instead of inciting an argument about the sex and going through his 800th divorce from Louis

all their friends are extremely confused when a whole month, and then six months, and then a year goes by without another Loud Divorce happening and no one crashing through their front door like "I HAVE TO SLEEP IN YOUR GUEST COFFIN FOR THE NEXT MONTH, HE IS INTOLERABLE". They are worried. they are concerned. what is going on over there. are they both dead. no, they can't both be dead, Lestat just posted another tiktok of him sucking on his own fingers, which he would not be doing if Louis were dead. there is an ecosystem collapse happening in the groupchat and it's because the main Drama Vectors have been neutralized

happy 10 year anniversary to fnaf!! into the pit is about the aftons :)

obviously not a 1 to 1 scenario but something about a father and son (notably, ones that look remarkably similar.) yes, they butt heads sometimes, but at the end of the day they love each other, really they do. then one day, something happens. the son isn't quite sure what, but what walked out of the pizzeria with him -- he knows this thing can't be his father. this is a monster -- but everyone else just sees dear old dad. and how could they not? he looks just like him, after all. still carries the same smile. is this another one of your pranks? it's not very funny to joke about this, mike.

the monster knows all of your routines. every nook and cranny in the house, like it's lived here for years. drives you to school, the pizza place, home. mom claims he wants to have breakfast with you, but he hasn't said a word to you in days, and when you enter the dining room his presence is suffocating. he's staring at you. the only sound you can focus on is his breathing. all you can manage is a shabby excuse before you rush out the front to go to school. you feel his stare until the door is shut behind you.

you always thought your dad was a little bit embarrassing, always hated how busy he was with work. now you miss the days he filled scrapbooks with dumb photos of all your accomplishments, or stayed up to watch a bad show with you. now, all you can do is think about the monster in your home. no one believes you. you start sneaking out at night. he starts locking doors. boarding up windows. placing cameras everywhere he can think to. you wouldn't put it past him to chase you out of the house and drag you back to bed himself.

you don't know if he'd ever hurt you, but the uncertainty alone is enough to keep you up at night.

the only difference is, mike can't do anything to fix it.

How Would I Write A Batman TV Series

Hello! So I'm a huge fan of Batman. He's been my favorite superhero since I was five and one of my favorite movies of all time is The Batman (2022). So as a writer of course I've had ideas about a Batman TV series (animated or live action). It would be werid if I haven't thought about it. Now I doubt I'll ever actually get to make that idea a reality but it's the thought that counts!

Back when I first came up with the idea for this hypothetical series I actually wrote part of a script for it. It's just first and last scene of the episode but it counts for something. It was the first time I had written in screenplay format and I haven't done it since so It's most likely a little rough but my thought process behind all of it was simple.

Here is the last scene of the hypothetical first episode. The Wayne Murders.

Why is this the last scene?

I wanted to be different. In a lot of Batman stories the story kicks off with the death of Thomas and Martha Wayne. So having the first episode end with their deaths seemed fun. I wanted the viewer to spend time with the Wayne's before tragedy struck.

Why is Selina Kyle there?

I was inspired by the show Gotham's take on the Wayne Murders, where Selina Kyle was actually present for them. I thought it would be cool to have Selina and Bruce be duo protagonist of the series. Throughout this first episode we are not only following Bruce but we are also following Selina. I wanted to parallel them in cool intresting ways.

We see the difference between them and how they live. Bruce is a sheltered and carefree while Selina has seen far to much for some one her age. Bruce is the son of a wealthy family while Selina is the daugther of a family living in poverty who has to steal to survive. Bruce has a happy loving family and Selina doesn't.

Bruce wears pristine fashionable clothes his parents bought for him while Selina's clothes are more run down and worn. Bruce goes to a private school and Selina goes to a public one. Bruce has a circle of close friends while Selina has her little sister and stray cats she feeds

Even the lightning of their scenes would be different. Selina's would be cold and dark while Bruce's would be warm and bright. Selina is in closed spaces while Bruce is in open ones.

They have nothing in common until one day Bruce and his parents step foot in a dark, cold alley way. Then suddenly they have a lot in common while still being different in so many other ways.

Now on to the first scene which I never finished writing.

Now I don't have much for this scene. I wanted it to be clear throughout the episode that Thomas is worried about something or is working on something beacuse I thought it would be a cool set up for the Court of Owls. And that's it. That's why this season exists. Told you I didn't have much.

That's all for now. We'll talk about this again whenever I decide to work on character arcs and villians.
