saw a thing on instagram saying “your classic book for your zodiac sign” and i immediately knew mine (libra) was going to be pride and prejudice without even having to see it

[bratprinc3]

btw i did see the interview where rj said lestat was at the trial willingly but i haven’t made a comment because i am choosing to pretend i didn’t see it 😭

i think the one good thing being raised catholic did for me is that i can pick up what anne rice put down when she wrote about forgiveness in tvc and what the writers of the show are continuing to do lmao

[interviewwiththewerepire]

"armand isn't owed an apology after all the shit he did to louis, i can't believe they made him do that"

hey guys? Do we maybe think that Armand's tit-for-tat mentality, and the way he's been tallying up his and everyone else's sins against each other is a problem? Is it maybe possible that Louis managing to find empathy for Armand in the face of the monstrosity being done to him, and that radical act of kindness and honesty (about the ways he unintentionally hurt Armand) moving Armand so much that it nearly breaks him, is idk a major theme of this whole season?

you know, sorta like how Lestat was holding onto his feelings of betrayal about the book, and all it did to serve him was make him absolutely miserable and lonely and push him into the arms of someone actively harming him. And how it was only after he let that go, and helped Louis even though he still thought that Louis didn't give a shit about him, that they were able to connect again and be happier than we've ever seen them.

Or like how Louis was able to look past his initial feelings of revulsion and betrayal about the Sophia lie, and offered comfort and a space to speak honestly, and how that granted him a deeper understanding of Lestat, and ultimately strengthened their bond.

Are we seeing the pattern here? How they're breaking the curse of loneliness when they stop seeing each other as monsters, and extend a bit of empathy, even when it's hard or not deserved? How addressing the gaping wound behind the actions might open the door to healing for both parties?

A second thought save them all from my provoked rage...Where is Louis?

[bratprinc3]

it’s never “this style of storytelling isn’t for me so i didn’t really like this season” and it’s always “i don’t like the style of storytelling therefore it’s bad and you guys are trying to gaslight me into thinking it’s good”
