it took them until 1975 to get their shit together enough to coordinate a group costume. they let quentin be rocky because of his charmingly coltish naïveté (and because he already had the costume). willie had to pull the ‘remember that time you enslaved me and sucked all my blood out’ card to get barnabas on board in the first place. that and julia said she thought he’d look sexy in heels
the essential thing for me about quentin being a lovable rakish charismatic confident handsome devil-may-care slut is that he’s also like not fucking doing well. and has never been doing well. in his life. like the man is on five to six layers of dissociation at any given time and has been so so riddled with loss and guilt and self loathing and anxiety and existential despair for the past seventy years and yet is physically incapable of killing himself. but like, while all of that is going on, he is handling it by being a lovable rakish charismatic confident handsome devil-may-care slut, and enjoying it, and not worrying about the Agonies when at all possible except for like the looming terror at the back of his mind at all times which he is more or less used to
it’s not like his hair stays that way overnight. maybe it did as a vampire when he doesn’t toss and turn because he’s literally dead. but as a human? absolutely not. as a human he wakes up every morning and painstakingly reconstructs the fucking bangs in the mirror
another ancient mv for y’all this ones unfinished there was gonna be more characters but as is it’s just a fancam for these three that ends abruptly. still vibes a lil
