this danlou scene is one that i really enjoy but i dont see it talked about often enough :(

i think its a very interesting reference - first or all it gives us the context of the outside world, provides an insight into what daniel is interested in as a journalist (the zodiac killer was on the rise in 70s san francisco) and makes for an explanation why he was interested in interviewing vampires at all

famously the zodiac killer also only murdered people he considered "sinners" which is interesting to look at for both daniel and louis. daniel is, simply speaking, a junkie & and hes also queer, it makes sense for him to be scared of the zodiac killer because he could by all means be considered a sinner due to his lifestyle. louis, on the other hand, being attributed the name of the zodiac killer when we as viewers know that he struggles with religious guilt and also that in the 70s he had a period of fucking and killing young boys every day..... louis takes on the role of someone who tries to dictate the lives of others while his own morality remains twisted

furthermore the zodiac killer was never caught just like in a weird way daniel didnt truly find his opressors until the dubai interview. although zodiac did leave cryptic messages for every murder & in the newspapers, soooo..... devil's minion, anyone? was ARMAND the zodiac killer?

happy birthday assad!! today seems like the perfect day to post this:

i've been meaning to rebind my copy of tva ever since i got it (from a used bookstore, it's falling apart) but in retrospect thank god i haven't yet because it would've impeded throwing that godforsaken book at the wall across from my bed as hard as possible when i finished it

version without text & the og cover:

“Did I catch you in a fantasy, where the boy somehow fumbles his way to publication? Where (Lestat) strolls past a bookstore, your book displayed in a shop window, where he buys himself a copy, reads your nasty embellishments and comes chasing after you again?” , from IWTV s2ep5.

Sketched this super quickly because I got this idea in my head, of the parallels that could be established if Armand really did check in on Daniel during those years. Guess we’ll see in June.

Louis comes home early and finds the guy who uncovered decades long lies and betrayals by his now ex-husband making out with said ex-husband
