i think he's handling things really well.

some of yall will hate me but I dont think claudia is a perfect character either and I think that to position her as the "only good one" or the "only recounting of events we can trust" fundamentally misunderstands the story.

This conversation has been brought up a lot more now because of lestat's recounting that he never threatened claudia with SA on the train. Some people say that lestat can be going down the very common road that some abusive people do where they soften their own actions in their memory. and maybe this is true, it could be! my point is: we'll never know. however, I think some people think that claudia's victim status absolves her from having bias when that is not the case.

I never think claudia intentionally lied but she is also very traumatized and her emotional truth may not necessarily be the factual truth but that does not make it a farce. like "lying" isnt the right word. her accounts are still biased to her worldview if that makes sense?

like she GENUINELY felt threatened by lestat and when has she felt genuinely threatened before? with Bruce. in her mind these two experiences start to bleed together and affects and her recollection of it. this DOESNT mean lestat wasnt horrible and didnt threaten her at all, it means her experiences shape her lens. it means her brain processed these two experiences in the same way. because in a sense by being forced to come back home her autonomy was also being robbed from her, again.

I guess my point is that memory is the monster. we can never escape our lens and the horror of these books and this show is that we cannot separate our past experiences from our current life, the emotions and the worldview bleed through and your actions follow accordingly. the horror of the show is how life often feels like a self fulfilling prophecy because you can never fully escape from who youve been into who you are.

#iwtv #the vampire lestat #while this is a valid take #i would also wish that moscovitch would just... stop with this #she should know better at this point that her edgy takes on les' cruelty lead to volatile unpleasant fandom reactions #often times those reactions aren't contained to tumblr essays but spill into the meat space #and i frankly dont know why we need to attach that kind of allegations to him now as well...#anyway #choosing to see the rape accusation as tamalasca meddling for the purposes of character assassination #i think thats still in line with what canon presents

That was the last sunrise I ever saw. Perhaps the kindest thing the dark gift has given me. // It was the last time I saw my brother. It was the last time I saw the sun. It was the only time I ever felt free.

like you can see lestat performing here..........he becomes lelio, the young lover, because it's the only way he can garner affection. it's all an act, it's all a performance, it's all a front.

#yea...#les clinging to the mask that is the source of so much trauma will actually break me #cause he isnt lelio only for gabrielle or his fans #but also for magnus #iwtv #the vampire lestat

Maybe Lestat has more control over himself than I do because I swear if I opened the door for trick or treaters and two of them were dressed as my dead daughter, one of them was dressed as the guy who killed my daughter, and one was dressed as my sometimes ex husband who allowed all of this information to be public

I think I would’ve fire gifted the entire city of Montreal

All he did was break a guitar and a door

But how could I have known?

when we "lose" a cis butch woman because he becomes a trans man or masc you should actually say such things as yay, yippee, or hooray.

imjunebitch

i identified as a butch for a bit! I changed my mind because in my case it was me trying to avoid wanting to be something I wasn't sure I COULD be! did you "lose" something when I, a trans woman, decided to present more femme?

imjunebitch

if every cis butch woman in the world became a trans man right now, that would be an unambiguously, inarguably good and positive thing, because that would be people choosing to live the lives they wanted as the kinds of people they wanted to be, end of statement. personal autonomy isn't something to bitch over!
