[professional-rat-eater]

Okay, okay. That’s enough Lestat.

Where the fuck is Real Rashid???

Do i think s3 ep1 is bad? No.

Do i think s3 ep 1 is the worst episode of the entire series? Without question, yes.

And to be clear, I dont consider this a hot take or anything lol

[junebug-rose]

okay but I genuinely do think the transphobia is a set up for something further into the series. The writers, while not perfect, would not put something so blatantly wrong in for no reason. Especially since the scene felt awkward as a whole because of it. I don't blame anyone criticizing it and if I'm wrong I'll be pissed too but I'm trusting the process

[covenendearment]

this isn’t a personal attack on you, but i have to ask, what good could possibly come of this? we get to watch the vampire lestat learn the value of respecting pronouns? to me that sounds goofy and clunky and beside the point, especially considering the problems with that scene go beyond the misgendering.

whatever happens later in the season, the writers have chosen to treat the presence of a transgender person in a public bathroom as a salacious spectacle while also misgendering them. sadly idk if there’s any saving this.

i missed this lmao

Ah, he is Verrocchio's David, the very model for the bronze statue. Don't try to tell me he is not. And immortal, ah, yes, I can see it, immortal. He shall never die.

[covenendearment]

and it’s not only the cheap shot joke about pronouns but the way the scene is constructed. it takes a freak show approach to a trans body in a public restroom. it’s 2026 they should know better and i am incredibly disappointed

[lilyflxwers]

ok i absolutely need to know what accents u all have pls reblog and tell me or comment or whatever I must know

[covenendearment]

the casual ableism over armand’s eyepatch already is crazy

[covenendearment]

people lose eyes in real life, people have facial scarring in real life, and saying “i hope it’s not permanent” is fucking insulting. as if the portrayal of a visibly disabled person is somehow ruining your fun

[covenendearment]

the casual ableism over armand’s eyepatch already is crazy

i honestly feel kind of embarrassed for gushing so much about this show and recommending it to all my friends only for the first episode of the new season to introduce a trans character for the express purpose of mocking and misgendering them

[covenendearment]

i saw someone say episode 1 feels like a lead up to the real first episode and im like yeah that’s because you’ve seen most of it already

[covenendearment]

black licorice is genuinely the worst tvl song yet

[covenendearment]

okay but on the real what’s with the transphobic pronoun joke though

[covenendearment]

i may have to reverse my position on trans gabriella because i no longer believe they are doing it out of respect

The boy we met in San Francisco, the one who fumbled over his tape-recording device, who barely understood the meaning of the story he was being told... he’s still in there somewhere.
