It does not matter how slow you go as long as you go boldly where no one has gone before. cathos, 30s, bi, she/they. mostly star trek & iwtv. enterprisery/flowerplots on ao3. sometimes i create high quality posts on tumblr. icon from this post. no minors please.

With the AMC IWTV series coming out in October, I wanted to let folks know that the most underrated Anne Rice adaptation, the 2001 TV movie The Feast of All Saints, is currently on YouTube (Part 1 & Part 2). It focuses on the gens de couleur libre in 19th century New Orleans and the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution, and features a fantastic cast including James Earl Jones, Forrest Whittaker, and Eartha Kitt.

I haven’t seen it mentioned, but the AMC series shifting their focus toward the interpersonal drama of a Creole family and the history of racial tensions in NOLA really makes me wonder whether they were inspired by Feast as much as Interview; the former takes place mostly in the 1840s, while the AMC vampire show is set in the 1910s and onward, but that’s absolutely the vibe I’m getting from the situation with Louis’s family.

I thought it might be of interest to some of my fellow VC fans, particularly those who’ve expressed an interest in AMC’s changes to Louis’s background!

Plus it stars Robert Ri'chard, and he’s so handsome it’s stupid.

personal log, stardate 47329.4. i finally realized why i've had trouble sleeping the last few nights. yesterday was the fourth anniversary of the massacre at wolf 359... the fourth anniversary of jennifer's death.

[ID: 8 gifs from season 2, episode 9 “second sight” from the tv series “star trek: deep space nine”, the gifs show benjamin sisko and jake sisko within their personal quarters, seated on the couch.

1st gif: the gif shows benjamin from the side and jake from the front up close. benjamin has his arm wrapped around jake's shoulder. jake tells his dad, "dad, i... i love you." his is looking downwards.

2nd gif: the camera cuts to a different angle showing benjamin from the front and jake from the side up close. jake is still looking downwards when benjamin tells him, "i love you, too." benjamin moves to kiss jake on his temple.

3rd gif: benjamin kisses jake on the temple, he checks on jake to make sure he is okay.

4th gif: "oh, i have a calculus test in the morning." jake recalls.

5th gif: the camera cuts to a different angle showing benjamin from the side and jake from the waist up. benjamin pats jake on the shoulder and tells him, "then you better get some sleep." "yeah."

6th, 7th, 8th gif: jake pauses on the way to bed, he calls out "dad?" and benjamin hums in response, "hmm?" "i miss her." jake tells his dad, who replies with "me, too." jake goes through the door and the camera focuses on benjamin who looks at his chess board and reaches for a piece./end ID]
