📚 Tiny Doubts, Big Questions 📚

⁂ 𝙒𝙝𝙤 𝙖𝙢 𝙄? ⁂ Alice. 24. A little shy philosopher, professional overthinker, part-time nerd, and full-time bore. Philosophy is my higher education, so unfortunately I was academically trained to ask too many questions and give unnecessarily long answers.

After that finale, am I allowed to start mourning the wasted potential of this adaptation, or do I have to wait forty days before holding the memorial service?

[jockey-lackey]

So far, the entire season feels less like an adaptation of the book and more like an extremely niche fanfic unearthed from the deepest layers of the internet, written for a very specific audience and complete with tags like “De^d Dove: Do Not Eat.” Unfortunately, only about a quarter of me belongs to that audience.

See I don’t even think it’s Lestat favoritism because nothing I’ve seen has given me the impression that the writers actually like Lestat.

I’d really love to check in on everyone who assured me that Devil’s Minion would finally get proper development in the season finale///

[jockey-lackey]

So, I have to go get blood drawn in about an hour. The finale has already drained me mentally, and now I’m about to be drained physically too. Yay

My feelings are very strange right now… I’m looking at all my notes for unfinished Nickistat fics and—wow—I don’t want to delete them all and set my laptop on fire. At least not yet. But God, this season was supposed to feed my fixation and become my blessed muse. Instead, it turned out to be an actual curse that drained every last drop out of me

My main problem is that I can’t react to anything right away. Please give me a few hours—or days. I’ll suddenly burst into tears once my brain finally processes all of this

[jockey-lackey]

I’m 99% sure there’s a complete, properly edited Nickistat intimacy scene somewhere, because every single flashback gives us a brand-new one-second snippet from it...Or maybe I just think they’re new and I’m starting to lose my mind

[jockey-lackey]

The fact that the only spoiler screenshots I saved are the ones featuring Nicki says a lot about my mental state/

He gave me the gift I begged him to say it, say, "Nikki,I will never love you the way that you love me."

Could they at least release the Season 3 episodes at the same time for everyone and keep the finale from leaking early? Is the release management for this show really that much of a mess? 😫

Looks like my old post about how Nicki sometimes gets erased in fanfiction can now be directed at the show itself....

(I feel sick)

I haven’t been active because I’ve been trying to invent a time machine, go back about ten years, and tell my younger self:

“Sorry, kid. Your favorite character really will be played by a wonderful actor. He’ll just be on screen for about ten seconds.”

Episode 6 killed me emotionally so here’s Claudeleine happy ending yay

[jockey-lackey]

A slightly random thought, but I really want Nicki to meet Antoine — the book version, and only the book version.

I have no idea why this occurred to me before falling asleep last night, but now I can’t let go of it.

They’re both musicians, and they were both turned by Lestat. Antoine also said, “Lestat was my friend. He told me about his lover, the violinist Nicolas.”

So technically, they already know each other. It’s just a little one-sided for now.

how i feel watching the season called the vampire lestat

I feel like Nicki deserves more than, “My ex-boyfriend and I founded a murderous theater company,” Вut maybe that’s just a me problem.
