maomiOP
LMAO YOU CAUGHT ME SETTING UP THE CLASSROOM 🫣
Just here early to offer help if you need any chairs moved around 👀🪑😈
thank you thank you if you could help set up the back row it would be very much appreciated! this might be a packed classroom
I’m just really excited to learn🤓
I don't know how I feel about this list, the presence of iwtv took me out 💀
maomiOP
i've heard so many mixed things about iwtv i'm like shit do i read it for science or do i just leave it be? 🫣
I've read all of it and I don't even know how to answer to this. Some of those books are the worse things I've ever read but others have forever changed my brain chemistry but also I've read the first 5 when I was 12? I don't know! It's not good but it is! It's so fucking weird
maomiOP
hmmmm maybe i will treat it like a salt lamp and lick it out of curiosity
Even that wouldn't be enough for the series because the second book is completely different than the first and then the fifth is again tonally different and in some of them Anne rice was catholic and in others she left the church and so sometimes Lestat believes in god while in other he doesn't and there are aliens and oh my god these books are so fucking weird
maomiOP
this is sending me LMAOOOOOOO anne rice put her whole self into these books i see
Once Lestat wants to kiss monkeys for like 3 paragraphs, and then we have an alien humanoid construction that breastfeeds its own amputated hand and grows another being out of that. Depending on how catholic she was lestad did or did not drink Jesus' blood and once he had a whole chapter imagining to meet the pope. In the witches book and then later appearing in the vampires ones we have some freaky elves like creatures that are fucking obsessed with breastfeeding and also reproduce instantly and after birth become humans in like 10 minutes ready to reproduce again creating the weirdest orgy I've ever had the misfortune of reading. Reading those books completely killed my libido for a month in a way that left me shocked. Whole books could be written about how insane these books are
maomiOP
