the differences between lestats hallucinations of nicki and louis are so…. nicki who keeps mocking lestat. he is loud and inescapable because he won’t allow lestat to not pay attention to him. meanwhile louis just watches. he never says a thing and remains a constant observing presence

Choosing to believe that Daniel actually did use Lestat’s head as a bowling ball but it didn’t work and just kinda slid halfway up the lane and made a really loud squeaking noise and left behind a blood trail and Lestat was so embarrassed his head couldn’t knock over a single pin that he just omitted from his retelling.

louis lying about armand being the love of his life in s1 finale and louis confessing with his dying breath that lestat was always the love of his life in s3 finale. lestat willingly giving in to death under louis's blade bc he's given up on receiving his love in s1 finale and lestat clinging to life in his final minutes by the mere idea that louis might love him after all in s3 finale.

what if your situationship asked you to be his lawyer because a rockstar trashed his tacky hotel and requested to meet him but he lied and set the meeting up himself because the rockstar is his ex that he wrote a book about insulting him page after page after page and he wanted to ragebait him into talking to him and get yelled at in french

King of running away from his problems !!!

I have been thinking about a key distinction i see in the Louis-Claudia vs Lestat-Claudia family relationships that really explains everything about her séance revelations for me. And it is that Louis sees Claudia as his daughter (conceptual), whereas Lestat sees Claudia as his daughter (literal).

Like for Louis, Claudia is his daughter in that she is His Little Girl. As long as she is his daughter, she is a child to him. It's the idea of having a daughter, and not an actual, dynamic father-daughter relationship. And that's why as she ages, it has to change to "sister" for him to even try to treat her as a grown up.

And then on the other hand, for Lestat, it's literally. That's literally his daughter. She's his little girl daughter as a child, and he entertains her like she's a kid. In her later teens, that's his teenage daughter who needs to learn how to drive a car and what sex is. And then when she becomes an adult, she's his grown-ass daughter who he treats as a competent, if antagonistic, adult.

I think this explains why Lestat is not onboard with the sister switch - the relationship is ongoing and developing over time, it's nonsensical to him that you could just substitute one relationship concept for another because the relationship is tangible, it's there in the real world. It also explains why he refers to her as his daughter less than Louis does - Louis has to reaffirm the concept, but for Lestat it's not necessary.

Also I think that's why Claudia hated dealing with his bullshit less than Louis's bullshit, which really is what she meant by "I liked him more". Better to be treated as a grown daughter than a little girl sister. And part of why Lestat would be harder to manipulate - with louis, she could play into the conceptual His Little Girl, but there's no equivalent for Lestat, because what he sees when he looks at her is an adult woman he raised, not a child to be protected

And I wonder if that's part of why she's not at the long table. Not only that she said all she needed to say, but that that relationship is so grounded and real for lestat that there's no reason for his brain to give him dying revelations about it, and a projection of her wouldn't be believable for him because if anything, he sees the real her too well for either of them.

To be clear I'm not saying either dynamic is better or worse. A relationship characterized by absolutely zero illusions is rough as hell and that's why they both hate loving each other so much

And you know I'm gonna say I think Lestat has ignored confronting his feelings about Claudia's death because part of him knows by acknowledging how important being her parent was to him, he's gonna realise how fucked his relationship with his mother is

My dear crazy girl who keeps having to reckon with the consequences of her actions ….

[jabberwockymoreau]

And if I say those scenes between Louis and Armand were great and made a lot of sense actually if you consider that in show universe they were married for 77 YEARS vs the unspecified, perhaps a decade at most, that they spent together in the books? And it shouldn't have been about Lesmand because it's becoming very clear (and in retrospective should have been clear, "to me" included) that Armand and Louis have a much longer and deeper relationship (in all its facets) than Armand and Lestat have because of those changes they made in the earlier seasons considering the length of Loumand's relationship?

Plus it cements Louis as more of a co-lead who is in on the action, which I just love. Like, sorry, but I would have hated it if he had simply been Lestat's damsel in distress.

I heard s3 has begun filming ? :3

[eab-art]

Louis offering to fuck Daniel while Armand is out ("do you want to now? he sometimes lingers when boats come in to harbour") is crazy in retrospect, when he KNOWS that Armand has been psychosexually stalking that old man for 52 years. He knows it would have driven Armand fucking insane even just knowing he considered it

[flopstat]

no but like lestat keeps being drawn to the non-sexual intimacy he shares with louis, with brushing of their hands, the moments of their pinkies touching......................................like that's so hugely important to lestat in a sea of hypersexualization, the fact that he and louis connect on a deep level....so to have their final scene being them lovingly touching each other's neck scars...

[theashesofthefirststar]

My favorite thing about Armand is that, beyond being scary and intimidating in an ancient vampire way, he’s also weird and off putting in a way that feels both hilarious and endearing. He does things that no other vampire in existence would ever consider. Goes through a divorce and proceeds to join AA because of his love for steps and rituals? Brilliant! Deranged! Lovely! Dresses up as Louie’s employ so he can wait hand and foot on the man he’s been secretly in love with for 50 plus years? That’s innovative in its insanity! He’s mimicking human behavior in ways never before conceived of and doing a piss poor job at it! It’s awkward and charming, and ironically, the most human thing about him.

[theashesofthefirststar]

I have a lot of grievance with season 3 but one criticism I don’t agree with is that Daniel’s sudden attachment/allegiance to Armand doesn’t make sense. In the book, Daniel falls in love with Armand’s evil parts before anything else, most likely because they reflect a similar darkness in himself that has always pushed others away. In the show, we get Armand telling Daniel, not only have I watched you for over 50 years, but I’ve seen you at your worst, at your lowest, and I still want you. More than that, he enables and encourages Daniel’s selfish darkest desires!

Lestat drags Daniel into his world just to get a rise out of Louis, while making it no secret how lowly he thinks of Daniel. Then he steals away the only part of Daniel that still feels real, that still matters; his journalistic thrill, the high of getting his story. Then Armand comes along and gives Daniel exactly that, and all the satisfaction that comes with it. As the cherry on top, he gives Daniel revenge on the person who withheld that satisfaction from him in the most humiliating possible way. Armand makes a plan to cut off Lestat’s head, and hands Daniel the weapon. He enables Daniel to spread all his darkness around and does so without judgment. Does so with love, even. Daniel is Armand’s minion BECAUSE Armand grants his every wish
