Which apartment buildings are relatively affordable in the up to 2k range and safe. I'm open to Central Minneaoplis and Loring Park. However, I prefer near or having skyway access.
Update: Thank you for all the suggestions. However, please note that I am an attorney, so skyway access is narginally important as I will be traveling often.
I love his artwork, and the way he captures colors (particularly gold and lighting) always makes me picture Red Rising. This is basically how I imagine the books in my head when I'm reading. This painting specifically reminds me of Darrow fighting Proctor Apollo. Can you imagine how incredible his style would look to capture something on the scale of an Iron Rain? I’d love to see the universe brought to life in that oil style.
Hey guy! I love Regulus's character, and I was wondering if anyone had some recs where Draco is similar to him. Thanks.
Does anyone else think that the conversation between Louis and Armand in episode 7 was amazing?
One thing I really liked is when Louis is apologizing. He emphasizes how Armand was Arun twelve when he was assaulted and used by Marius. It really made me think about how Armand, despite the ways he goes about his relationships in clinical and obsessive ways to the point where he annoys his partner, is a character that’s constantly being used by others in relationships. Whether it's for emotional fulfillment, running away from your troubles, or intrigue.
In his relationship with Louis, Louis is consistently running away from his own grief and guilt over Claudia's death. In doing so, he likes to present having some sort of control over Armand, when it's usually the other way around.
Then with Marius, we know he used Armand because he bought Armand when he was young under the pretense of saving him, when he did not and only used him. What's interesting in comparing Louis and Marius is that Louis was a pimp, and Marius was a Roman slave owner. It's interesting when you think of Louis as a pimp in the context of his relationship with Armand, as Armand struggles with his autonomy due to his history with Marius. So when Louis says that Armand deserved someone who would cradle him, it was very interesting because that's not what Armand was able to get out of his relationship with Louis, and it really explains some of the anger that Armand has now.
It's also very interesting to consider the relationship between Armand and Lestat, because that relationship has an autonomy that wasn't there in his relationship with Marius, and Armand was also able to use that relationship as a weapon. For one, Armand's relationship with Lestat was for intrigue due to Lestat becoming a vampire yet being both artistic and modern in a way. Then his relationship with Lestat becomes noteworthy later on because, even though they aren't romantically involved, Armand uses Louis as something of a weapon against Lestat because he felt slighted due to Lestat's rejection and abandonment when Lestat didn't want Armand's help and left Paris.
Going back into looking at Armand's relationships, even though we don't see too much of the relationship between Armand and Daniel, Daniel seems to see Armand as an entry and a story that he wants to get to the bottom of. Daniel felt slighted by Lestat and, in doing so, ended up going to Armand for more information, where they supposedly became companions where someone is getting something out of it.
Either way, I absolutely love his character, and I can't wait to see what the show does with him.

Hey everyone! I'm starting a new sewing project, and I was wondering if you guys had any recommendations for unique things to sew? I don't sew clothes often, so maybe some purses, household items, or something random would be a good recommendation. Thanks!
Hey everyone! I’m looking for some Harry Potter crossover fics.
I’m open to any fandom and any pairing. The only requirement is that it is interesting.
Drop your favorite recs below! Thanks!
Hi everyone.I'm looking for fanfic with Harry, goes back in time, and either raises himself or becomes a mentor, something like the defense against the dark arts professor. Bonus points if Harry is significantly older and not like in 17.

feature a skilled, brilliant, or smart Snape?
I feel like his character is truly a genius, especially when it comes to spell creation, potions, and dueling, yet he gets a bit sidelined in those areas in the original novels. Does anyone have recommendations that showcase his brilliance or absolute genius?
Oh my God, I saw a video earlier talking about why Louis looks so good this season, and it's because we're seeing him from Lestat's perspective! I want to know everyone's thoughts on this. I'm so glad I watched the video—I'm linking it below—but can someone talk more about this because I absolutely love it?

Also I haven't seen episode 7 yet, so no spoilers.If you've watched the leaked episode.
Is anyone else having trouble reading past Golden Son? I absolutely love that book and the Red Rising Series.However , after that ending, I feel like I haven't had the motivation to read the next book. Instead, at this point, i've read the first look , a second time as an audiobook. But yeah , I just want to hear if anyone else is having the same troubles.
Update : These comments are really making me wanna pick up the book. I probably just got tired because I read both books within 3-4 days

I find Louis’s restaurant really interesting. Because he started off in seasons one and two, hatinng being a vampire to the point where he was eating rats, and now he has a whole restaurant, which is supposedly a humane way of drinking blood. This doesn't even get into the fact that he made the restaurant next door to Lestat's home, showing that he really can't get over Lestat. He wants that proximity.
I also see the restaurant as a way for Louis to kind of go back to his roots as a business owner. Well, he was a pimp back then. But the thing about him is that he likes having so much control, and this is just another form of it. Either way, I found the fact of him having a restaurant really crazy.
Anyone else feel like Louis and Lestat are so hilariously obsessed with each other to a point where they brush off everything. Especially in the scene in episode 6, where they're talking about the video of Daniel in the sun, and then they just ignore it and go back to talking about themselves. Even when they talk about daniel having a tan in the restaurant , they make a few jokes and then go back to talking about the interview and themselves.
Like, I love that they're obsessed with each other. But it's really giving to the point of obliviousness. Come on, even after Claudia’s ghost talks to them, they talk about it real quick and go back to talking about themselves. Then even Lestat's mother warned him about Armand being in town and warned Louis about the danger of going to the concert due to his killing of other vampires, they brushed off the total danger that they could be in.
Love my obsessive vampires , but this is getting out of hand.
Is anyone else finding it hilarious how, throughout the season, everyone just tunes Lestat out whenever he says, "I have the blood of Akasha?" Even in episode 6, he mentions it in the car, and Louis just brushes it off as an offhand comment. Either way, I really can't wait to see Akasha's character have a much bigger role soon.

I already hated her, but this episode just takes the cake. She seems antagonistic and jealous of Louis and of Lestat's love for Louis. It annoys me that Gabrielle seems so manipulative and has a hold over Lestat. It just makes Lestat seem like a little kid who's been abused and is still being abused in a way. What's worse is I feel like, at some points, he tries to set some type of boundaries, but it doesn't seem to be working. Overall, I seriously hate her character.
I'm watching episode 6 of The Vampire Lestat, and I really like the scene where Louis says to Lestat, "Why are you being nice? I don't like it."
I think that really captures the nature of the relationship between Louis and Lestat. Based on how he acted in seasons one and two, Louis is self-sacrificing in a way where he almost feels more comfortable or prefers it when Lestat acts in ways that are not conventionally nice. Otherwise, I really did love seeing the dynamic between Louis and Lestat this episode.
