Sam Reid & Jacob Anderson INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE - Behind The Scenes

The Georgian Resort is alive and well. Sadly, their honeymoon suites are not. After renovations, their iconic heart-shaped tubs sat in storage for two years before finally being put out in the parking lot and marked for sale with a “$50” post-it note.

I stayed at this hotel a few days ago while visiting Lake George, New York and randomly came the same weekend as this tub sale. After sharing it with you all - the tubs avoided the dumpster, have all been sold and will be installed in their new homes throughout the country. 💘

I have a lot of complicated feelings about this, but also, I want a tacky heart-shaped bathtub

If you don't think Stede would give Ed and the crew Dad pep talks before a raid... You're gravely mistaken...

Stede, holding Ed's chin fondly: Whose the scourge of the seven seas? Who strikes fear in the hearts of men? And whose my favorite pirate?

Ed, with tears in his eyes: Oh my god that's me-

Who's name is so feared men flee at the sight of their banner? Who would I hang the stars in the sky for?

I opened my eyes. And it was then that I realized the drum was my heart, and the other drum had been his. I saw him sitting a length away from me. Radiant. And we sat there for some time.

IM GOING FERAL I WILL CRY—

I'm consistently amazed and overjoyed at the level of incredible artistic talent in this fandom

I’m obsessed with ep.6

Sandman is wonderfully queer, it's true, but I still feel like there's a disconnect between shows that try to cater to queer fandom audiences by offering queer characters vs offering queer characters people will actually ship, and the key to characters people actually ship is friendship.

There's so much mockery of fans who want queer representation in media on the assumption they just want to see hot, same-sex characters bang and so often when these fans are "catered to" it's with explicitly sexual relationships between same-sex characters. Which is great by the way, definitely don't want to punish the behavior I want to see in the world, but it's not what drives fandom interest in a queer ship.

The reason Dream/Hob is one of the most popular emerging ships for the show isn't because they're unspoken and noncanonical, it's because they're friends. I don't just believe they'd be hot together as a couple (but I do, given Dream's bedroom eyes in 1789) but because we were shown 600+ years of them growing their friendship and now we want to see them build on that to become romantic (and sexual!) partners because we were shown how they fit together and complete each other's needs.

A huge percentage of queer fandom shipping fic isn't about seeing sexy times between hot characters, it's about seeing characters who clearly connect and care for one another, regardless of gender, also becoming romantic and sexual partners. It's why the friendship-to-canonical-romance arc of Our Flag Means Death made the fandom world go insane. It's why just having queer ships isn't enough to deliver fandom's obsession and to this day, it's baffling how much it feels like a lot of shows don't realize that.

this is the way

i want what they have.
