To think that the only character who was truly in Louis's corner this season, with no expectations on either side was Lemuel. Truly. Truly I teared up a little while seeing a gifset of "safe?" Safe. Nearly home "you get what you wanted out there?" Yeah. Yeah. Like that is just such a friend thing to do- like text me when you get home type of thing, and Louis desperately needed/needs a friend where there are no expectations.

We will ALWAYS be here, and we will ALWAYS overcome!

op-la

at the beginning of every iwtv episode they should include a quiz that says "do you believe in mutual abuse? yes/no" and if you click yes the episode automatically closes and you can never watch the show ever again.

the writers of the show couldn't rewatch s1&2 because they didn't pass the test.

Louis this season....

At times the real Louis breaks through the bad characterization, but then the writers immediately drag him back down. 😭

#Like I KNOW she’s down in there somewhere 😭😭😭 we need to save her

That scene really could have been good if it was just the two of them in a room talking. If Armand didn’t torture the apology out of him. Maybe he goes into the conversation with bad intentions. He wants to manipulate Louis into saying sorry. Twist the knife of the divorce a bit. And then Louis actually does apologize to him, genuinely, and it disarms Armand completely. All the illusions of their life together are finally stripped back and they are just two damaged people looking at one another for the very first time.

Can you imagine how good that scene could have been if they were just sitting in a room together? No body horror, no weird fish eye filter, just Jacob and Assad delivering the performances we know they can deliver with the chemistry of the s2e5 fight???

But of course this would require a level of sincerity that the writers seem incapable of this season.

#it would’ve been amazing to hear Loumand actually have conversations abt their trauma and being open and vulnerable with each other #if that’s really why Armand wanted that whole reunion #I just feel like there were so many more different avenues they could’ve taken that would’ve been leagues more impactful

omg i hate seeing reductive takes that reduce all of the reasonable reasons why people (esp black viewers) are upset with claudia’s recent portrayal just boiling down to “oh you hate the show where the characters are bad and they do bad things” or “you just can’t handle an evil female character”

no one has a problem with either of those things, like in the first claudia kept a journal just to write down the last words of people she killed and kept souvenirs from them and everyone clapped and cheered

people are upset that a black character who was written in those first two season to be pro-black and a complicated, nuanced relationship with louis be reduced to a one-dimensional caricature

claudia in the first season compared lestat to a white slave owner and said that he treated her and louis like house slaves but that she would set them both free.

why now, does she barely have any words for lestat and the part he played in the trail instead ALL of her ire is directed at louis

she even says that it was lestat’s blood that made and louis ain’t no kin to her. that’s insane to me, claudia would be mad at louis for everything he’s done but she would never say that when she didn’t even want Madeline to have lestat’s blood in her

and in the second season one of the reasons claudia initially liked and trusted armand was because he was brown like her and louis

now we’re just completely ignoring the role race plays in this show to have her dig into louis while absconding lestat of all blame

the other take i’ve seen is “oh well this happens in the books” yes but in the books claudia is 5 year old little white girl and louis was a white plantation owner, he literally owned slaves. like i think we’re a bit past everything having to be exactly like the books get a fucking grip

and i know for a fact if claudia said half of the things she said about louis to lestat and tore into him people would be singing a much different tune
