Second Curtwen Week Fic!

Day 6 - Happy Ending

This one is much heavier than the other, and it explores the life of Agent Curt Mega after the events of Spies Are Forever. It’s also kind of a conversation with the ending of the show and some of the feelings I have about it, the brainrot it causes is something. Enjoy!

What if she was right? What if I was someone else? Someone beautiful and powerful? Buried alive and suffocating to death on the other side of a television screen?

Favorite minor detail of the bowling alley rant: New Yorker Daniel Molloy being pissed off that his vampire turning happened in New Jersey

I actually love the Louis and Regina subplot because it really is a continuation of the way Louis has always treated women, as a source of emotional labour that he can throw money at and have them make him feel better. It’s Miss Lily all over again, it’s “paying a whore to sit in a room and talk with him”. Making Claudia was always about Louis’ feelings under the pretence of saving her from the fire. He wants to save Regina from poverty but it’s all to make himself feel better. She sees through him but she’s so broke that she can’t afford to say no

At a time when Netflix is getting roundly criticized for forcing its shows to treat the audience like we have all of two brain cells to rub together, The Vampire Lestat is out here volleying everything from 70s gay references to 1700s Dutch Republic references at the speed of light while saying, "You don't get it? Well, that's a fucking you problem."

And I love that for us.

I gotta be real, I thought we were critical of disney adults for aggressive loyalty to a really gross mega-corporation, or refusal to engage with media that isn't for kids, not because people... have hobbies?

The biggest sign Daniel is not doing well is that there’s no skill to how he’s questioning Lestat. Daniel has always been abrasive, but he’s never just been an asshole and he’s not even really asking him anything. He’s just provoking him. He may as well be saying “and then what?” over and over.

There’s the stuttering question. When he asked Louis if it was raining, it was to remind him that his memory is imperfect and can’t be treated objectively. There are holes in his story. He’s doing it so much with Lestat but never gets anywhere. Shouldn’t he have realised before now that he’s not going to get the whole truth from him? Not ever?

He took Gabrielle’s suggestion of asking about the great conversion so quickly and there was a kind of resignation in the way he asked. He barely made an attempt to get anything from him before that. Lestat has probably worn him down over the last two months, but there was a method with Louis. He was attentive to detail. He caught every little discrepancy. There’s been none of that with Lestat. He’s not even trying at all. I don’t think he can try.

I fear he’s back to being that boy who fumbled over his tape recorder again except now he has all the baggage of fifty additional years of life AND he’s relapsed. He’s off his game more than he’s potentially ever been. No wonder he was so gleeful but getting something out of Lestat. There’s predatory journalism, but Daniel never pushed Louis like that. He pushed him until he was crying, but there was always a point to it. This was nothing. Daniel is unravelling in front of us.

after two seasons of daniel being a dangerous player in the interview and outsmarting two powerful vampires with his wit, it’s kind of fascinating to see him so out of his depth now. he knows ball but he’s never played against lestat. he’s never met someone more stubborn than him, and on top of that he’s a baby vampire now! and lestat is using his inexperience and vulnerability to his advantage, beating him at his favorite game. how ironic it is to be feeling weaker now that you’re immortal than when you were dying

He wants you in pieces for the privilege of putting them back together again as he sees fit.
