learning that AMC cancelled the akasha final concert scene mid-production explains a lot about the tvl finale

[userarmand]

it still would've been bad within the wider scope of the series re: overt violence against louis but the torture stuff wouldn't have felt quite so egregious if armand was also doing it to lestat like why didn't he force them both to watch the other getting tortured which surely would be a torture in itself?

[feedingicetothedog]

and like the problem is there are elements of the louis and armand plot in the finale that would make for a very compelling story. like louis and armand having a big fight upon first interacting after s2 that ultimately resolves in them realizing that they loved each other and saw each other but never in the way they really needed to grow and feel secure? great. armand demanding an apology from louis but not even really knowing what he's looking for, just that he feels like he's owed SOMETHING after everything that happened between them despite knowing that he's the problem? great. louis being in a position where he can save regina in a way that he couldn't save claudia? great. but like....the execution.

the first time i heard the phrase “i need that like a hole in the head” it didn’t even occur to me that many people don’t live with passive suicidal ideation at all times so i just assumed it was a way of saying that you really really needed something and i have continued to use it that way ever since

its a beautiful day to return a book to the library unread after it auto renews 3 times

The library says thank you for boosting our circulation stats and the book will still be here later if you want it another time <3

You can make a movie with where the only white character is a man named Ray Cism whose one line of his 16 seconds of screen time is “I seriously hate women and minorities.” and you’ll find fifty bajillion reader x Ray Cism fanfics and renaissance style drawings of him with a halo of golden light

UGH the longer I sit with the season finale the more I think I’m just mad that it didn’t give me what I wanted as a FAN but I’m not mad at IT. I think unfortunately a lot of the fandom is overreacting because it didn’t wrap anything up, it wasn’t satisfying and was far from happy. Myself included. But now I’m sitting here reminding myself that art doesn’t have to make you comfortable and remembering that this is the dark night of the soul before the second half of the story. And grumble grumble grumble fine

I think my one serious criticism of this episode (that will have to be further informed over time) is how Louis & Regina were fucking tortured to high hell. As in-character as it was for Armand, just. Jesus fucking Christ that’s a lot of torture to put our Black characters through considering nobody else got tortured that badly on screen. The only comparable scene is Lestat’s assault in episode 3 (and in that way, glad they made the choice to not show Claudia’s) and the way he gets the shit beat out of him in episode 1. I’m going to defer to Jacob & Delainey’s words on the ways they contributed and what they appreciated about those moments as actors, but yeah. Certainly a choice.
