I relate to so many of your posts. Do you think I'm worthy of being embraced for the whole of myself and not just the parts I carefully curated for others to see and marvel at?

Oh. fuck no dude. We are both FUCKED!

Remember when you are mean to me that I look like this and you’re being mean. I look like this and you’re being mean to someone who looks like this when you could be nice. To me. This is me and this is who you’re being mean to instead of being so nice to me which you’re not being.

Idk if it makes sense but I have to say this season does not feel like I’m watching vampires. Sure we see a vampire fight in ep 1 and some superpower stuff and blood and gore but s3 doesn’t feel like I’m watching vampires!!!!! Where are the vampires gone?

i basically expressed my thought on this in one of my replies:

there's nothing interesting or profound in their vampirism anymore, that's why they're treated like superheros rather than vampires. vampirism is an inherently gothic concept because it's a metaphor for social hierarchy, social parasitism, rape and/or sexual taboo, as well as the tool for depicting passion, codependency, irresistibility of forbidden love, desire to "consume someone" or "live in their skin". by refusing to engage with social commentary and/or gothic romance, vampirism becomes unnecessary (x)

basically, there's no point in writing vampires if you don't touch on gothic aspect. arguably gabriella+lestat incest storyline was meant to be a gothic part of the show, but it was treated so nonsensically that it didn't really leave anything interesting to say about vampirism. they hinted on confusing and messy nature of being "reborn" as a vampire and how lestat being gabriella's maker made their dynamic more complex, but it was a tiniest point in this season.

they had a perfect chance to explore vampric part of the show with gabriella being trans-coded in the books: they could comment on gender-specific body dysphoria (which could be a good parallel to claudia's body dysphoria), but they completely avoided that part of the books.

other gothic elements are pretty much gone from the show. loustat romance is treated as... something i can't even find a word for, but no longer a gothic romance (it's toxic and codependent, but doesn't have necessary passion, intensity or obsession). armand is more like jigsaw now. interesting social commentary was replaced with pop culture commentary. they had something going on with regina storyline, but then they had to turn it into "armand did this". the whole horrifying yet sexually charged beauty of bloodrinking was replaced with convenience of blood donors.

as for now, tvl made vampires nothing more than urban fantasy super villains.

drunk shane leaning into ilya’s shoulder, jacket off, hair messy, eyes closed and lips red from kissing and drinking wine “som’times i wizsh i could eat’your heart so that you (hiccup) you’re always inside me”

ilya, equally as drunk and suddenly a poet of profound wisdom “ ‘nd i wish i could live in your cage of ribs, the bones around your heart — the fuck whats its called, whatever — and never ever leave ever”

both nodding in complete agreement “ilya do y’think we can do voluntary organ transplants with eachother?”

“we have same blood type so yes. probably. we are rich so who cares. tomorrow we call doctor”

“okay <3”

wyatt caught all this on tape and shows the team in the morning. somehow no one is surprised, least of all hollanov

[domarmand]

one thing i haven't seen mentioned is that armand is made fun of for "being a bottom" but lestat, who it is confirmed enjoys bottoming multiple times across the show including in this season, never is. hey rolin why is it only something to mock when it's armand? what makes him different from lestat? rolin come back here
