i think the thing that makes the "the Government is hiding and experimenting on aliens!!! why? because Humans and scientists are all evil and thats why they do!!! baaah!!" storylines feel so silly and USA centric and disconected from reality to me is bc in Real Life here in Brazil everytime the posibility of aliens came up the first thing we did was try to interview them

was et Bilu real? no of course not, but someone still went out in the middle of the forest at night to talk to them bc honestly why wouldnt they

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022-) | S02E04 x S03E07

[sillystigmata]

The divorced couple of all time.

[ezool]

[Babel by R. F. Kuang MAJOR spoilers]

so i just finished reading and im like heartbroken. but i want to ask:

did Letty really aim at Ramy to kill him for rejecting her?

bc that seems to be what everyone believes (both Robin and the reader). after Letty came to negotiate with Robin and Victoire at the Babel strike, and Robin asks her “Why Ramy?” her response (specifically written to say her voice pitched higher, her body stiffened and rigid) was that she didn’t.

bc when i first read the scene where Ramy gets shot, i thought it was Robin she was aiming at, and Ramy pushed him out of the way and took the bullet for him. especially if you remember Letty’s shock afterwards. that to me meant she had every intention of killing Robin, and didn’t expect Ramy to intervene.

Letty, in an effort to hurt Ramy, aimed to kill Robin bc she probably caught on that Robin would always take priority over herself in Ramy’s life. Ramy would choose Robin over her in every which way, so she wanted to make Ramy suffer by taking out Robin entirely. but she underestimated just how literal Ramy would choose Robin over everything, even his own life.

“Why did you aim at Ramy?”

“I didn’t.”

[deermessrs]

after everything, afterall, i’m most astonished at the audacity of letty calling robin “birdie.”

that’s ramy’s word, not hers. but she uses it knowingly. she knows the power of words, of language, of translation, and yet she’s choosing to steal a word that’s not hers, a word that has meaning and history and love, a word that not even victoire dared use bc she knew it wasn’t hers, that it belonged to ramy and robin alone, all for her own advantage.

she used it time and time again without permission. she used it while ignoring all protests because she sees language as a tool to use, a weapon to wield. all to get ahead. letty’s another cog in the apparatus of white colonialism, exploiting that which doesn’t belong to her.

Daniel: I'm seeing someone. Not romantically, just at the foot of my bed when i wake up at night

[knight-in-shimmering-armour]

Claudia's ghost seeing Armand deliver the iconic "My daughter was my sister was my throw pillow when he wouldn't look at me kindly lestat lestat lestat lestat... And you threw her name around just for cover but it always circled back to him" like "bitch I loathe you and I hope you die but that was a certified banger."

[couldnt-think-of-a-funny-name]

armand confessing to stalking daniel for 52 years, panicking when daniel doesn't find it romantic, and basically yelling LESTAT FUCKS HIS MOM!!! to divert to attention off his feelings. incredible.

[ihateornithologists]

ngl i was genuinely expecting something like this

[alltears]

all-timer daniel molloy questions:

1. did you eat the baby?

2. are you schizophrenic, louis?

3. and then what?

4. fuck, man, are you the zodiac killer?

5. YOU BOTH FUCKED LESTAT?

[yaoiblackmold]

Every vampire is all "oh drinking blood is better than any food, drugs, even sex" but I don't even believe them because all of them were literally made before the invention of really good drugs and before we got all the nice foods from the new world, so I don't trust any of their opinions. Lestat has never ate a potato and Armand hasn't ever even tasted tomaotes. The only guy I trust is Daniel Molloy who has probably tried every drug on earth, has definitely ate nice food and would be a valid judge on how good drinking blood really is.

[i-know-the-enddc]

what I fucking love is how tvl was written in the 80s and lestat is constantly sayinf shit like “as the kids say 🤪 that’s so rad!!” or whatever, and to me, reader of the vampire lestat in this modern age, that does NOT register the way anne rice intended it.

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.

but amc in all their incredible genius decided that honoring anne rice’s original vision of writing an extremely modern and weird book that fully embodied the era it was written in was more important then bringing back the 80s nostalgia thing that streaming services love and it’s incredible to me. now I get to listen to lestat say shit like “labubu FOMO cosplay reddit discord Gen Z more like gen SNOOZE 🤪🤪🤪 safe space pronouns donald trump labubu tiktok dance 🕺🏻” and suddenly I understand what it felt like to be a young anne rice reader in 1985. God…. I understand.

how daniel molloy feels after trying to conduct an accurate interview about vampires, but his subjects are louis de pointe du lack of information, lestat de lyingcourt, armanipulator, and claudead.

[hesitantlyhappy]

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

[sweet-shut-eye]

Never been about me

[alethialia]

At a time when Netflix is getting roundly criticized for forcing its shows to treat the audience like we have all of two brain cells to rub together, The Vampire Lestat is out here volleying everything from 70s gay references to 1700s Dutch Republic references at the speed of light while saying, "You don't get it? Well, that's a fucking you problem."

And I love that for us.

He's doing so well
