MY BEAUTIFUL BESTIES

[sillystigmata]

They look so good.

[ttrpnstt]

there's a lot to be said when a white european ginger christian character that's known for his breathtaking beauty and labelled an angel for it in a book series is race bent into a brown muslim character and suddenly he's no longer an angel or beautiful but a crazy psychotic gremlin that's repeatedly kicked down for being submissive in bed and his childhood sexual abuse and exploitation is thrown back at him everytime by (mostly) white characters and his religiosity is suddenly nowhere to be found but is conveniently repeatedly compared to nazis in various ways and is considered a failure of a bisexual man because again he is submissive and recipient in bed rather than a promiscuous masculine bisexual man that everybody fawns over (lestat) and again he was a victim of pedophilia sexual slavery and racism but his ideal partner that would "cradle him" is an old grandpa white man who's a racist rapist that calls him a rent boy and a submissive twink sociopath.

give the writers all the awards yall they deserve them!

«Mais c'était de l'amour.»

It took me an entire afternoon and half my eyesight, but I'm pretty satisfied with it. I've also planned Daniel and Lestat, but let me know if you guys think it's worth it ❤️‍🩹

The inspiration, of course, is this illustration by Aubrey Beardsley for Oscar Wilde's Salomé.

Please watch this interview with Alan Taylor, the director of the show pilot, and now the director of TVL finale, and you'll get how it's not just the actors who seem to have a problem with Rolin Jones' vision, but also the directors.

Alan is complimentary of all the actors, but in particular Assad. He said something about the Rolin Jones Final Cut of the season finale and how it's more chaotic as opposed to his vision which was more romantic. He’s very clear that his episode was drastically changed and that he barely recognized the final product. He even seemed a bit angry at one point, and insisted that this was not the case for the show pilot where only one scene was changed a bit. He said one of his favorite scenes was a long closeup shot of Assad and that he LOVED it…but it was cut.He said that close up of Assad made him realize that he is one of the greatest actors he's ever witnessed.

And yet, as is the case in show biz, he is ultimately complimentary of Rolin Jones. I am so tired of RJ shennanigans.

The camera zooming into Rolin laughing at this part specifically during the DM line read 👀 Which, apparently, is exactly Rolin's type of humor:

Throughout S1-3, to quote Snequanimity:

"Armand, we are constantly told, was a catamite. He's a twink bottom. He was a limp, passive ragdoll for sale. His daddy groomed him into a little bitch. He's emasculated, a beige pillow, his sexual performance is so-so, he's desperate and needy, he's a pussy and a betaboi. In short, he's too gay, not Lestat's ideal of a masculine bisexual man. like this is some kind of corruption of character, being the receptive partner in anal sex" 

Recently, ONE journalist has FINALLY commented on this

and that's because the journalist himself is a gay Indian man:
