I’ve been thinking about Cortland today (in the books tho I guess this maybe could apply for the show maybe) but, was Cortland envious of the relationship his father Julien shared with Lasher?
From Julien’s pov, my understanding is that he didn’t want his children from his legitimate marriage to get involved with the witchy bussiness, even sending them to study far away. Yet Cortland was very involved, to the point he was the one stealing bones from coffins to make the cursed Mayfair dolls, and the one who went around poisoning people to protect the secret of the family, which tells me these things were very important to him. I wonder even who told him about those things, Mary Beth or Julien, but i’m more inclined to think it was Mary Beth.
But my point is, all the Mayfair witches from all generation were women, with the exception of Julien, the only man Lasher ever showed his favor, and Cortland was his son, splitting image of him, but Lasher never showed him any care.
I mean, if Julien wanted someone dead, all he had to do was whisper the name and Lasher would do it. Cortland had to go through all that trouble of poisoning people. And even dying, bedridden in his last days, Julien’s lover claimed he saw Lasher and Julien having sex. In his last days, Lasher threw Cortland down the stairs and hit his head. The difference is very notable lmao maybe it did stung that even after years protecting the legacy he was never shown any special favor.
Surprised that Belle isn’t really Julien’s daughter after all… the way these books go, I’m basically assuming every other Mayfair kid from that generation is Julien’s kid tbh

Finally finished the set! I had a lot of fun picking the poses and moments to include for the Brat Prince, to capture his various moods. Got some favorites in - had to include the Lynendecker robe, of course!
tbh when I first met Mona in the Vampire Chronicles book I was either annoyed or indifferent towards her, but now that I know her better I kinda feel sorry that Anne Rice just killed her and Quinn off in the Prince Lestat trilogy like… she didn’t really need to do that lmao she could just not mention them ever again

In an interview with “The Ready Room,” Annie Wersching described playing the Borg Queen as “certainly a little intimidating.” She noted that she had familiarized herself with the role and those who had previously played it before going forward with her own interpretation and performance. “Once I was cast, I watched every Borg episode I could find. I watched them to know what I needed to know, and then I’d move on to the next one. I wanted to absorb what [Alice Krige] and [Susanna Thompson] had done, but I didn’t necessarily study them or copy them. I watched and learned a little bit, and then didn’t think much more about it.”
Rest in Peace, Annie Wersching (1977-2023)

Tarquinn Blackwood sketch 🖤 I have a strange connection to this book. It’s the deep south middle-of-nowhere Louisiana—horror around every corner, abusive trauma inducing family dynamics and failing the children of the south but for some odd reason there’s a comforting nostalgia even for the darkest moments…
