just two idiots obsessed with each other

[blackgirlsuperherorants]

Hey, I just wanted to point out that Louis spent time carefully finger-coiling his curls just to look cute for Lestat! That look takes time! And he did it while at Lestat's townhouse! Which means he either brought hair products to do it, or Lestat keeps some hair products for Louis at his house.

Unfortunately, the Tweet that caused this nonsense is deleted now because there were death threats, because Twitter and Taylor Swift can never let us have nice things, but do y'all remember July 27-28th, 2024 (depending on timezone) when this tweet of a Rockstar Lestat teaser video came out after the Interview with the Vampire Season 2 finale, and someone jokingly paired screencaps from the "emotional photoshoot" part of the teaser with screencaps from the "Blank Space" music video (which I had never seen until that moment because I don't care about her) and the lyrics, "I got a long list of ex lovers, they'll tell you I'm insane," and her fans lost their minds to the point of making Lestat trend almost instaneously as fans of a real life person tried to "cancel" fictional vampire Lestat de Lioncourt?

It was the best night of my life.

ETA: Oh, I didn't know Twitter's advanced search could do this. #nostalgia

First viewing: Ha ha, Lestat is on party drugs.

Second viewing: Who is Lestat, really? How does he see himself? How do people besides Louis, Claudia, and Armand see him? None of these questions can be answered in one way. He, like everyone in this series, like a more intense version of people in real life, is a kaleidoscope, shifting from moment to moment and decade to decade, depending on mood and audience. He distorts himself. Others distort him. They're all truthful. None is the whole truth.

whats so sad about the people who are pissed at tvl’s writing is that the reason they are mad is LITERALLY the themes of the show

oh? you are mad and disappointed and upset that your story is being mistold? oh, you are annoyed the moments you cherised and thought were beautiful in the original version are being twisted into something else? the love and care you had for the characters is being downplayed and treated with irreverance? there are parts of it that you would change if you told it yourself?

happened to my good friend lestat de lioncourt once

[vorreitenertiqui]

Jacob, Assad, ...and their granddad Eric.

Tell me a bit about working with your co-stars. You have Sam Reid, then you’ve got Eric Bogosian who–has been in everything! And those are the two people you’re opposite the most, so what are they like, working with? JACOB: Eric is amazing. Eric [...] will throw out these flippant references and allusions to things he’s done and you’re like yeah, I know what Talk Radio is, Eric! (Laughs) And he’s just so casual about it! He’s just one of those people that has a story for everything. He’s met everyone. There’s a Basquiat in one of the rooms in the show, and on Eric’s first day he came and sat down on the sofa and just went, “Oh, I met him! I met Basquiat. Yeah, he was a cool guy. I was hanging out with Debbie Harry and Basquiat in New York–and they couldn’t keep up with me, those kids–” and you’re like, who is this!? What’s going on? It’s so surreal, so bizarre, he’s like a real-life vampire. But he’s just very charming and brilliant, and I love him. And he’s kind of like, a surrogate father-slash-grandfather. Let’s say father—let’s be kind.

(from Keep It Podcast)

Tell me about filming the bowling-alley altercation [...], when Eric Bogosian is ripping into you [...] I don't know how you kept it together. ASSAD: Eric is so good at it. He has this rhythm. It was easy for me to keep it together because I love watching him when he gets those especially-Molloy speeches. [...] Molloy has this ability to take the lore of vampires and dilute it into its purest form and spit it back out, and that's what he does in the absent-father monologue. It's so good. I had to be very aware of not picking him up and hugging him every opportunity that I got. Are you normally picking him up and hugging him every opportunity you get? Yeah, every time I see him. (Laughs) That was our first day on set in Toronto. I absolutely adore that man. He's like the grandfather I wish I had. I never knew my granddad, and Eric came into my life at a moment where maybe I was searching for a figure like that. He feels like a safe space. If I haven't seen him for a while and I see him again, my instinct is to go and bear-hug my granddad.
