As for [Louis's] belief that I was a peasant, well that was understandable. He was, after all, a discriminating and inhibited child of the middle class, aspiring as all the colonial planters did to be a genuine aristocrat though he had never met one, and I came from a long line of feudal lords who licked their fingers and threw the bones over the shoulders to the dogs as they dined.

I felt so sad when Christine called Lestat motherfucker and he said No more. We have a pact now. What the hell????? Nobody knows about Gabrielle yet but he really seemed so happy, proud, and relieved to have set boundaries that he wanted to tell someone :( The writing in that show is sometimes subtly diabolical.

Yes. The writing is subtle, but telling.

He wanted that pact. He does not want the sexual relationship with her and like I pointed out, notice they hide her identity, because Lestat is ashamed of it. He's embarrassed. He knows it's wrong and so does Gabriella.

Remember in 1x01 when he says Gabriella is the first thing that comes to mind when people think of him? Remember that. It comes around again.

In light of the next episode likely being the most substantive one as far as Nicki content is concerned, I am going to say it.

I find the idea of shipping reductive to the complex realities of human (and vampire) relationships.

The web of the human social condition can't be boiled down to the cutesy little mash-up of two characters' names at the end of your tumblr post. Mine included.

People are complex. Interesting characters are complex.

Have fun with it, sure! But if we miss out on interesting discussions because people are worried about "ship-baiting" then that is honestly a real shame. And very childish, to be frank.

You would think that a mature rated show based on a book older than I've even been alive would also invite more adult takes on said show, yet I can already see the discourse coming a mile (or a week) away. Heck, I've already seen it!

And I would not wish the kind of pain and grief that comes with losing a loved one on anyone, nor the at times suffocating guilt that follows when moving on.

You can love more than one person, and one does not have to diminsh the other. Love is not a competition.

You can like both Louis and Lestat and Nicki and it is not a crime.

So let's just be kind to each other as we enjoy this exploration of the human condition as told to us through vampire shaped vessels, alright?

Lestat has driven away Alex, the most talented musician, so that he could cope and process his nature at his own time. The aftermath of what he will and won't do will be in next episode.

Coincidentally, next week Lestat will reminiscent about a certain musician he knew that lost himself after getting involved with the vampire world.

I bet those two things aren't related at all.

wdym theyre actually coming home next ep this feels unreal

[redoncidium]

Really fascinated with the loop motif in the first episode of TVL.

Lestat’s life “like some wet clothes in some coin op dryer, just 265 years round and round”. His life held in the spinning record, Lestat tells his story as he jumps back and forth between moments in time. It’s almost like the record skips and, like when the muses were unleashed onstage, time seems to collapse. The past, present and future merge into one and it's the same moment playing out over and over again.

Friends, let's think about lesvid hugs.

(Memnoch the Devil /Prince Lestat)

I'll even fish an unfinished art from my folders here to illustrate lesvid hugs.

(Is this because I hate open tumblr to see people celebrating that that David died off-screen in an adaptation? Lmao. Yea.)

Rest in peace, David Talbot, but also I can see them making Daniel David’s replacement! If they were to deal in some body thief material they could just give the storyline to Daniel. Esp cuz Daniel doesn’t get much after qotd, and I feel like show Daniel and David have a lot in common.

I love David Talbot so much though 😭 RIP fav. Also means we don’t get the big will he/won’t he with Lestat turning him tho 😪

[flopstat]

he’s so silly this is crazy
