Devil's minion becoming the top ship for the show on ao3 really shows the power of missed potential over canon in what gets written because now we have like missed potential² with Anne writing 50 pages of them and then forgetting about them and now with whatever the fuck the show is doing with them.

The way I am kinda glad they renamed the show now like let Interview with the Vampire stay separated from this mess. I still believe the first 2 seasons are some really great television and still do recommend them. But like yes good let it be untainted lol

Being an Armand fan is so funny bc it’s like “what do you mean he didn’t cut that guy’s hands off :/” like fuck off I was excited for that

I can't even look at anything on the main iwtv tag anymore because I just find more shit to be pissed off at like oh a sweet parallel between s1 and s3 scenes of loustat touching fingers. So romantic as long as you ignore how one of these scenes is highlighting the struggles of being queer and black in a deeply bigoted society while the other is I guess what passes for gripping romance in a season that refuses to show queer intimacy beyond a couple of seconds of scandalous kissing with random people.

[heartedrivalry]

people are so conditioned by non-canon queer ships that when a canon queer relationship in an explicitly queer show is poorly written, barely has screentime, and lost all of their chemistry people are treating it like peak television

iwtv is my dead wife and she was brought back wrong

Claudia was… everything. I loved her unconditionally. All the noise, the chaos, the crisis of my former existence, silenced. The simple joy of her hand in mine. You had a daughter. I had a daughter.

I can't even bring myself to have an ounce of hope for the finale because I still have burned into my brain when Rolin said this:

“We tried three or four times to paint ourselves in a corner,” Jones said. By the end of the season, some of those corners became so extreme that even the writers weren’t entirely sure how they would escape them moving forward. “There are three or four things that by the end of episode seven, we have no fucking idea how we’re getting out of.” [x]

i love when movies are trying to be a 9/10 on the disturbing scale but the quality of the script/movie itself is like 4/10 so it bumps the disturbing down to like 1/10 by virtue of being meaningless and boring

[carnadelions]

don't get me wrong i think it's great that rolin jones said we would be able to understand armand by the end of the vampire lestat. it's just that i was sort of hoping to understand lestat

[yusiyomogi]

i hope 5 years down the line someone does the whole investigation on what the hell happened with iwtv/tvl between s2 and s3 and makes a video out of it on youtube. something like hobbit autopsy by lindsay ellis. because it was a similarly weird catastrophe.

watching other fans of devil’s minion go apeshit for the crumbs in the show is actually driving me crazy i feel like i’m in the twilight zone. i’m sorry. i hate yucking other people’s yum so i am not judging. but i’m BAFFLED. what is there to like. the telling? the telling and no showing? the zero reaction from daniel? the stilted responses from daniel? assad zaman’s acting is the only redeeming quality in those damn scenes

this is NOTHING. this is not a dynamic, this is not a relationship, this is not natural or three dimensional or interesting. armand has more chemistry with lestat in his apology scene where lestat tells him to Kill Himself than he does with daniel after confessing his love. which y’know. comes out of fucking nowhere and does not at all feel connected to prior events of the show or natural in any way. i love armand. i love show armand. i love devil’s minion. i cannot imagine being happy at the mere sight of them on screen as if the content of the show itself has done ANYTHING to earn my investment in their version of the story. episode seven has a lot of explaining to do and tbh after this season i don’t think the fucking writers are up to the task

if you’re a show only fan what the hell is there to get invested in between daniel and armand this season??? i don’t get it??? and if you’re a book fan and you’re not just projecting the events and dynamics of the book onto the show to fill in the gaps then WHAT IS THERE TO LIKE???? NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. THERE HAS BEEN NO CHEMISTRY. the show does NOT fucking hold up if you purely examine its own content and don’t let the book or your attachment to the characters supplement it. i’m losing my mind.

Like it feels like the hideously racist caricatures of Claudia and Louis from the trial played entirely straightforward. Do they even realize. Do they even care.
