Everything! Everything that you wanted, I have done! You asked that the child be taken - I took him. You cowered before me - I was frightening. I have reordered time, I have turned the world upside down, and I have done it all for you! I am exhausted from living up to your expectations of me. Isn't that generous?

the layers to louis leaving out the scars cause they never really mattered to him one way or another vs lestat being hung up on the fact that they were omitted cause they're integral to his true sense of self !!! insane work all around

I actually kind of love that right off the bat the reason the episode is so chaotic is because Lestat is manic and therefore his narration is manic—despite the presence of our previous guide/audience POV, Daniel. BUT. Daniel is no longer an observer, if he ever was—arguably his journalistic POV was compromised after 2x05, but now he's not a commentator, he's a player.

I also think "Louis told me" "Was Louis there in 18th century Auvergne?" Is them arguing about Daniel reading his mind. (I think Daniels mind gift could be unique—not "what am I thinking" but "what have you got way in the back")

I think Daniel's "Is it true you were a stutterer as a child?" Is like. A call to action. It's an "Are you ready now?" Daniel in Lestat 's story is not an audience representation, he IS the narrative knocking on the door. Are you ready to start from the beginning? Are you ready to look, no matter how grotesque? Is it time now? Have you gotten all the wiggles out? Were you a stutterer as a child?

And then Daniel, when not in Lestat 's presence, is A Character, not a narrative device.

The Vampire Lestat really is going to be a test for audiences to see if they can understand intentional decisions to be confusing and messy or if they’re just going to call it bad

i did really like daniel in the books and other adaptations, but i think what they’ve done with him in the amc series is so incredibly cool and intriguing.

the concept of a cynical, acerbic old journalist who battled a lifetime of trauma and addiction being faced with mortality through a fatal degenerative disease that will slowly rob him of his autonomy. a closeted elder gay man who spent the 80s in the queer scene in san francisco living through the aids crisis. he’s persistently clever and cunning and is strongly implied to have some sort of resistance towards mind control. he’s ruined every single relationship in his life so now he’s an asshole old man living alone with a terminal illness and his daughters don’t even talk to him while he keeps their childhood belongings in his closet. he ruins lives and people but is an expert at self-preservation.

and now! he’s a vampire, cured of his degenerative disease, free of the threat of mortality that has been looming over his head since the 80s, and he’s a cool mean old gay guy vampire who walks around in a leather jacket and sunglasses ripping people’s heads off and smoking out of a hookah. he’s been saved from death but given a fate that many in-universe consider arguably worse.

when you think about it, antoinette wasn't just an affair partner for lestat but was him recreating his relationship with his mom due to trauma.

so we can see that when lestat is struggling he turns to his mom. and when he was with louis, louis kept him at a distance and that literally destroyed lestat with his abandonment issues. he couldn't turn to his mom, or i guess didn't want to, so he essentially recreated her.

i say that he recreated her because he sought antoinette out when him and louis weren't doing good, and because of her androgyny. remember the scenes of her in a suit? we all know gabrielle is very androgynous and even wants to be lestat in a way.

i think antoinette was his fill in relationship with his mom since he couldn't have her at the time. he turned to what he knew, and that is what a lot of abuse victims do. they will go back to what they know, whether it's the actual person or something similar.

Happy Pride Month for Rocky and Adrian for being together for almost two centuries and now have a controversial young trophy wife that's a leaky space blob who also saved the universe.

They both will be given a stink eye and called pebble snatchers behind their back lol

Daniel’s first line back being “The Cuntessa” vampirism really freed him to be the biggest bitch ever

Good job Glasgow, massively outnumbering the fash cunts.

I trust Daniel Molloy (as an interviewer)! If he's repeatedly asking Lestat if he was a stutterer as a child, Daniel is onto something.

And everything else is a type of distraction that Lestat WANTS us to be distracted by.

In previous seasons, Danny Molloy talks about how Louis uses third person "him" or "one" when he's trying to distance himself from his actions. Danny is good at catching this stuff!

Lestat is a master of DISTRACTION. Look at the visual difference in the third season (a naked woman showering in the background of a shot, switching from documentary style to colour, time skips, so much modern slang it's almost hard to understand).

Danny repeatedly throughout the episode asks Lestat if he was a stutterer as a kid. (the repetition also kind of mimicking the act of stuttering). He's hammering him. Don't get distracted! Stay on point (both Danny and us, the viewer)!

And what happens at the end of the episode? Lestat stutters as he sees his mother; and it looks like we're going to start delving into his childhood. That's where the pain is. That's where the story is.

Thank you Daniel Molloy.
