*producer about to make one of the worst seasons of television ever put to screen* surely writing purely in reaction to what the fans are saying on twitter will work out great for us this time

[treasurecryland]

"armand would not do something he does not want to do" is the most insane analysis of his character I've ever read.

[treasurecryland]

This person is pissing me off so much

[treasurecryland]

this is apparently their evidence armand was sexually assaulting louis. i give up

[carmineline]

the way most of this fandom is allergic to having normal discussions about the season with valid critiques like why does everyone have to feel one way or another “if you liked it then you’re stupid and racist” “if you don’t like it then you’re illiterate and ungrateful” maybe just maybe people can have multiple opinions on the season

[carmineline]

just saw someone say armand was forcing fareed to be there like that man wasn’t SALIVATING at the opportunity to run his experiments

Two years ago, the occupation destroyed our home, turning our dreams, memories, and everything we owned into piles of rubble and ash, as seen in this picture.

I hate this line SO bad, like Daniel would never fucking say that, EVER! #NotMyDaniel Why do they want to make Daniel dumber to prop up Lestat so bad, like fuck that, there is no "MAYBE" about him being smarter than Daniel, he ISN'T.

[lexdelioncourt]

You know what, I think some of us moved on too quickly from the idea that TVL was Lestat's POV and all the characters were being filtered through him. People were very quick to remind us all of this when they wanted to deny that Armand and Daniel had a unique bond or that DM was even real at all, but somehow this argument got forgotten along the way.

And there's something I've been reflecting on with regard to this when it comes to Daniel and the argument that he's been flattened.

Now I thought of this when I saw this interview with Jacob:

Now if Lestat's POV is influencing the portrayal of Louis, why wouldn't that be true of other characters, particularly ones that he doesn't really like very much? Why wouldn't he portray Daniel—a two-time Pulitzer prize winner who was always on his ass, pissed him off, and then cut off his head—in a terrible and unsympathetic light? Why wouldn't he portray Daniel—the annoying fledgling of the guy who killed his daughter—as a stroppy teenager who uses Gen Z slang and straight up says that Lestat might be smarter than him (Daniel Molloy would NEVER).

I'm not saying that certain events never happened, because see this post, however what I am saying is that the Lestat filter, if it can colour Louis, then it's going to colour the others.

Lestat uses cringey slang in episode 1, a lot. So is Daniel really the one saying things like "yaoi manther" or did Lestat put those words in his mouth? Is Armand really saying "armends" and "girlies" or is that a Lestatification of all that? Armand mispronounces Amhurst when he emphasises the "H", just like Lestat with Worcester. He also says he's going to "lob" Regina's head off when the phrase is actually to "lop" something off. You could even argue that Armand speaking in his French accent and Daniel not questioning it is a part of this (although there could easily be other reasons for this too).

Now none of this explains why they made Daniel say so many offensive things—maybe he's just that much of an evil boomer. And none of this is to say that all the writing is perfect. But I do think that some of the things (particularly language things) that are being written off as OOC are actually like that on purpose.
