You two hug it out for her too?

[seasnailes]

I think this is single handedly the most devastating thing that has happened on this show. Knowing that even in death she isn’t at peace? That she can’t find the one person who truly loved her in the after life? Knowing that she has spent every second of 70 fucking years looking for her love and can’t find her? My chest hurts so much. Claudia you deserved so much fucking better.

Re: Jacob Anderson enduring these scripts in s3

[drusill-a]

I hate the last episode so much that there aren't even words for it. Who the hell is Jacob Anderson even playing now? Because it sure as hell isn't Louis😭. Season 1 and 2 Louis would have burned this doppelganger alive.

That bench scene... holy fuck. I slept on it, and I'm even angrier today. Remember when Louis and Lestat actually loved Claudia and were consumed by guilt? Now, apparently, they get over it five minutes after finding out their daughter has been suffering in hell for decades, then go on a cute park bench date, joke around, and talk about their relationship. I have no words.

The writers aren't even consistent within this season. If Louis suddenly doesn't give a shit that Claudia is apparently doomed to suffer for eternity, then what was the point of the entire Bruce, and then Regina storyline and his whole attempt to find closure??? After hearing something like that from your daughter, there is no such thing as closure. Anyone who truly loved her would spend the rest of their life trying to find a way to save her. Didn't it occur to them to hold another séance and try to reach Madeleine?

I genuinely cannot wrap my head around the fact that the writers of a show that was phenomenal for its first two seasons wrote something this bad.

Aside from that amazing Claudia scene, it was total garbage. And I'm mostly talking about Delainey's incredible performance and the fact that they actually let Claudia be hateful and furious because no one has earned the right to those emotions more than she has. But even here, all the nuance of the Claudia-Louis and Claudia-Lestat relationships suddenly vanished.

And then there's the ending with Daniel (Louis' friend 5 minutes ago) showing up for the beheading. Cool. So characters don't need motivations anymore. They just do whatever the writers think will be the most shocking.

Emotional impact? Impossible choices and living with the consequences? They don't know her.

[reticent-vampire]

And I spend every fucking second of nowhere looking for her. And where is she? Why is she not here with me?

Lestat and especially LOUIS reacting to the whole Claudia ordeal with nothing more than mild sadness and surprise while in the book (Merrick) Louis literally tried to OFF himself afterwards, maaaaaaaaaate!!! 😭😭😭 Then they got over it in two minutes and went for a romantic bench date??? 😭 THEY BOTH NEED TO DIE!!!

WTF am I watching????? What have they done to our show?! 😞

All this discourse over who does "painting with light"

Hiroshi Nagai's paintings need sunglasses to look at.

They look like how it feels to walk across a parking lot on a 98° summer day without a speck of shade in sight.

They look like heaven but also like you'd burn your bare feet on the ground.

Even when you can see shade you know it's not enough and the minute you step out you'll be burnt to a crisp like a vampire.

And it's BEAUTIFUL

[dbarenzu626]

I'll throw in the wonderful Eizin Suzuki into this ring too, a man whose work just breathes light without actually using dynamic lighting in the usual way. It's no surprise both Nagai and Suzuki are both considered prolific in art pertaining to the city pop genre because they're able to paint these kinds of scenes with a delicate touch.

This feels like I could trip on that radio and fall right into that water, feeling the crystal waves as I drop in.

And this, a nice stroll down a resort strip, where my sunscreened skin could literally feel cooked if I leaned too close to the tiling.

And then a nice stretch of summer street, wherein you could see your face in the flushed red of that car provided it didn't blind you from its sunny reflections.

I don't think I even need to say anything more, Suzuki's a massive influence in how he even places colours so warmly in such unorthodox manner. It's a naturally sunkissed talent~ 🌊

you’ve heard of found family, now get ready for ✨forced family✨

[bifauxnenarmand]

hearing armand talk you’d think it makes sense for a centuries old vampire but then you see louis and lestat who are also centuries old vampires using modern slang so you’re like oh armand’s just like that
