one time i referenced wishbone in a group of people and none of them knew who he was. “he’s a jack russell terrier that dresses up and teaches children about literature” nothing. i was so disappointed

[ourholiestlove]

the seance scene... the more i turn it around in my head the more insulting and disgusting it is. not only it isn't given the weight it needs by making louis and lestat get over it so quickly and bonding over it (!!!!!) but it also destroys the tragedy of louis and claudia's dynamic. saying that claudia preferred lestat to louis and only chose louis to run away with her because he was easier to manipulate completely undermines the love claudia had for him. they had a complex relationship! claudia hated him and loved him so deeply all throughout her life. she loved him so much! she came back to rue royale because she knew he couldn't get out of that abusive relationship by himself. because she wanted to save him. she nurtered and took care of him for months after the drop. she tolerated lestat for him! even after he chose armand over her in paris, she still visited him with madeleine. she screamed his name in the trial after they dragged him away.

louis and claudia's relationship is tragic and doomed. it's not black and white! she hated him for what he did and how he failed her and she loved him deeply! that's her father/brother she couldn't save, who would never choose her first, who would always put someone else before her. that's why it hurts! it's crazy to even think she hates louis and lestat the same amount

retconning this to portray lestat in a better light makes no sense, because it doesn't even make him more likeable. instead of justifying his abuse or revealing that the poc characters were actually lying/manipulating each other they should've made him acknowledge his actions and look at what he did to those he loved in the eye. this is disgusting, cowardly and bad writing

the mandela effect is so funny bc almost all of it can be boiled down to "you were a kid and memory is highly unreliable," "you assumed how a word was spelled based on how it sounded," or "you're confusing two different things"

daniel was always abrasive, sort of an asshole, but he was also a good interviewer. i could believe that this character was a successful journalist. if his questions were blunt or crudely put it was because he wanted to catch his interviewee (louis) off-guard, to crack the facade, throw off his rehearsed story. also a nice contrast to louis’s flowery poetic tellings of things, for him to just directly say, “did you eat the baby?” “are you schizophrenic, louis?” but this season it feels like he’s just an edgy politically incorrect asshole all the time for no reason. (plus internet slang buzzwords.) calling louis “louisiana fried chicken,” and armand a “bottom twink,” asking alex “are you autistic?” like are we supposed to be laughing at these lines? because i don’t really think they’re funny. i know there’s more examples from this season but i don’t want to rewatch to find them. i saw a post earlier on, when the season was still in progress, that theorized his repeated hammering of “were you a stutterer as a child?” was not meant to be effective interviewing but really a sign that he was frazzled, out of his depth, not handling his transformation well. before he was pulitzer-prize winning journalist daniel molloy, now he’s an unwilling baby vampire. alas, another example of fans’ filling-in of the blanks being more compelling and interesting than the actual material provided. we don’t really get to delve into how he’s handling his transformation. we don’t even know that much about it, why or how armand did it, and we certainly don’t see it! hmph.

louis de pointe du lac take my hand let’s leave this mess behind they don’t deserve you

[letpeoplecritiquethings]

btw i don't think louis did anything wrong by putting up claudia's dress in his house. reading her diaries to bruce, sharing them w/ daniel, i understand her feeling upset/violated about that. but seance claudia being pissed off about the dress felt so weird to me, especially considering how poignant that s2 final scene felt.

like, the two items given pride of place in that space were claudia's dress and the portrait of paul. it was a space memorialising the family louis loved and lost. in some ways it might've functioned as a reminder of the ways he felt he failed them – an attempt at atonement (god knows louis is harder on himself about claudia than lestat/armand ever were). my favourite thing about that s2 scene was that the space focused on the people who were family to him, rather than defining him by his romantic relationships. he was finally on his own after many painful years with lestat and armand, and it felt like he was reconnecting with the people in his life that perhaps mattered the most. i didn't see it as selfish or self-indulgent at all. i don't remember anyone reading the scene that way when the episode aired.

but now in s3, we have louis saying it was "meant to honour [claudia]" and seance claudia angrily saying "oh yeah, cause that's what i wanna be, car fuel for your self-pity"... i don't understand the purpose of this exchange beyond the writers just wanting to shit on EVERY action/choice louis makes!!! like they just want to once again hammer home this season's narrative of him being supposedly an awful selfish bastard. WELL I'M NOT FALLING FOR IT!!!!! of course louis is imperfect but ur not gonna convince me that he's bad or selfish for memorialising a loved one wtf lol!!!!

[failvillain]

claudia says she hates my guts move on next scene. you say you love me move on next scene. you say you stalked me for 52 years move on next scene. i was in love with a boy once he killed himself he was my first love move on next scene. armand was there move on next scene. I'm telling you we started hanging out offscreen move on next scene. my mom and i killed our whole family move on next scene. I'm on an apology tour syke move on next scene. i have a body double oops hes dead move on next scene. i was in aa with your guitarist move on next scene. i don't have transformational trauma now im in cahoots with my maker move on next scene. god forbid we let the weight of anything settle

[finleykitten]

also is the implication with paul being there that lestat killed him?
