part of me was also like "I sure hope all their fans can be normal about this"

a group of people are shaking hands and talking to each other .

Alt: the Brooklyn 99 crowd is doing a hands-in chant of "1, 2, 3, be appropriate!"

Who doesn’t love a skinny, tattooed, 56-year-old alcoholic former coke addict with a bad knee and occasional erectile dysfunction? Ren Francis is clearly the ideal book boyfriend. Meet him in my alter ego's latest novella, NOBODY’S BARGAIN.

Jenny Hamilton @readingtheend.bsky.social · 17h

"stop shitposting about Interview with the Vampire and get back to work Jenny" I don't waaaaaannnnnaaaaaaaaa

Jenny Hamilton @readingtheend.bsky.social · 17h

this is my brand now apparently

the first panel features a picture of Louis from Interview with the Vampire, and a picture of author Elizabeth Gilbert. the caption says "Corporate needs you to find the difference between this picture and this picture."

in the second panel, a smug-looking Pam. caption says "They're the same picture."

this is funny. I'm funny.

IWTV not beating the allegations

Jenny Hamilton @readingtheend.bsky.social · Aug 31

I've realized this is also the plot of AMC's Anne Rice's Interview with the Vampire, which is probably why I love it so much.

Jenny Hamilton @readingtheend.bsky.social · Aug 27

I'm lightly obsessed with the way Elizabeth Gilbert will blow up her life in the most predictably disastrous ways, and then some time passes and she's like "here's my new book about how my decisions led to disaster but now I've learned from them. I'm enlightened now."

ahahahahah Jacob Anderson basically describing Elizabeth Gilbert's arc from the end of Eat Pray Love to plotting to kill her bestie/girlfriend

“We were trying to think what we could say about Louis’ journey,” Moscovitch said at the press conference, because as Anderson said it’s largely the invention of the series. In Rice’s text, Louis doesn’t appear very much in this chunk. What they came up with is an epic crashout. “Quite often,” said Anderson, “most people that are like ‘my life is fixed! I found this and I found that and I’m doing this and I’m doing this now–I’m not being specific ‘cause I don’t want to [give things away]–but like, those people quite often… I can be one of those people as well. You crash out. There comes a point where, you know, you suddenly lose energy and the truth comes to light again. It comes to get you.”
