the one band member thinking to himself that he's so glad lestat killed one of the tech guys and lestat going "dude I just fired him like a normal person" was an underrated moment tbh

[bluebell218]

are you telling me.....lestat went to a store, and didn't just buy candy for trick or treaters, he bought one of those plastic imitation cauldrons to PUT the candy in. i'm unwell.

[bluebell218]

UPDATE. are you telling me.....lestat left a NOTE on his DOOR so trick or treaters know he's not home!??? AND he decorated his porch with a skeleton??? AND he dressed up in costume for an event that clearly no other adults are dressing up for cause he just loves halloween?? lestat is never beating the precious bitch allegations, i fear his whimsy can not be contained. i'm unwell.

I feel for everyone who isn’t having the time of their fucking lives with The Vampire Lestat. Every week I clap and cheer for the antics of the world’s saddest buzzword-laden bisexual crash-out diva and his crew of the least healed men to ever grace the small screen. The songs are cringe delightfully camp, the wigs are a nightmare, I’m living my best life, I’m loving every second. Why the fuck would you have a blood shower in your tour bus. The onscreen mother-son incest is only like the third wildest thing happening in any given episode. It’s insane. I never want it to end

[abigailnussbaum]

It really cannot be sufficiently stressed that a blood shower is completely unworkable. Do you have one of those coffee machines with a milk fridge in your office? Have you noticed how often the milk delivery jams so you can't make a latte? Now imagine that with a substance that coagulates as soon as it meets air. You'd have to either maintain a careful mixture of blood and anti-coagulant, or keep as much air as possible out of the blood tank (which needs to be periodically topped off, of course). And either way, as soon as it ends up in the pipes, it would start clogging.

And this they apparently put on a bus? With a switch so you can get water and blood out of the same shower head? I need to know which member of the entourage has a plumbing certificate, because they should be working on that job full time.

I'm in love with his blood show he's so extra its so rediculous but it feels so very Lestat. It just cant make semse though. it could be like a single use blood shower maybe? and they just had a live guy tied up and hung upside down up there. The button stabs him in the neck. And gravity does the rest ?

The blood could be vacuum sealed in a space bag like a box of wine? And water runs through the pipes after it clearly.

He could just have mixed red dye into water to be dramatic and he's just narrating to make it seem like it was cool.

Theres non good answer. I love it. The bus is my favorite character.

[nortism]

I actually love the Louis and Regina subplot because it really is a continuation of the way Louis has always treated women, as a source of emotional labour that he can throw money at and have them make him feel better. It’s Miss Lily all over again, it’s “paying a whore to sit in a room and talk with him”. Making Claudia was always about Louis’ feelings under the pretence of saving her from the fire. He wants to save Regina from poverty but it’s all to make himself feel better. She sees through him but she’s so broke that she can’t afford to say no

[professional-rat-eater]

I also absolutely do not want to imply it was justice for Claudia but Louis and Lestat go straight back to talking about themselves as if they hadn’t just gone through that harrowing experience. As if they hadn’t just found out their daughter is going to suffer forever because of a trial one of them willingly (confirmed btw) took part in.

Because obviously Daniel and Armand have their own plotting going on and this is about Claudia’s suffering, both while she was alive and now that she isn’t. But the timing was satisfying. You should both be in shambles over what you were just told. You should be inconsolable. But you’re talking about yourselves and laughing and smiling, so I’m not feeling all that bad for them, especially considering we know they’re obviously both going to be fine.

[lestatrocks]

louis smiling and confirming to regina that hes gay is so funny to me.... no no i didnt want SEX oh god, you mustve thought i was so creepy haha. Noooo omg i want you to act like my dead vampire daughter who was also a stand in for my humam sister who died believing me to be a monster. which i am.

[the-lions-hart]

"There's nothing weird about this, Regina!"

[sugarcarnation]

louis going out of his way to drink lestats blood after learning about his relationship to gabriella is actually so important because it’s his way of showing lestat that despite what louis said earlier he is not disgusted by him. he still loves him, he still wants him and he wants to share his blood with him (something which according to lestat is more intimate than having sex)

[cupidsncheerios]

actually the real risk with being companionless/covenless as a vampire isn't soul-crushing loneliness it's the fact that isolated vampires just start doing anything. four grown ass men got divorced last season and the second they live alone lestat starts a middling soundcloud career, louis starts stalking some poor waitress, daniel becomes a bowling fanatic, and armand is in fucking ohio

[withdevovotion]

bowling is an understandable outlet of daniel’s rage. i mean he did get turned in new jersey

[ourholiestlove]

the seance scene... the more i turn it around in my head the more insulting and disgusting it is. not only it isn't given the weight it needs by making louis and lestat get over it so quickly and bonding over it (!!!!!) but it also destroys the tragedy of louis and claudia's dynamic. saying that claudia preferred lestat to louis and only chose louis to run away with her because he was easier to manipulate completely undermines the love claudia had for him. they had a complex relationship! claudia hated him and loved him so deeply all throughout her life. she loved him so much! she came back to rue royale because she knew he couldn't get out of that abusive relationship by himself. because she wanted to save him. she nurtered and took care of him for months after the drop. she tolerated lestat for him! even after he chose armand over her in paris, she still visited him with madeleine. she screamed his name in the trial after they dragged him away.

louis and claudia's relationship is tragic and doomed. it's not black and white! she hated him for what he did and how he failed her and she loved him deeply! that's her father/brother she couldn't save, who would never choose her first, who would always put someone else before her. that's why it hurts! it's crazy to even think she hates louis and lestat the same amount

retconning this to portray lestat in a better light makes no sense, because it doesn't even make him more likeable. instead of justifying his abuse or revealing that the poc characters were actually lying/manipulating each other they should've made him acknowledge his actions and look at what he did to those he loved in the eye. this is disgusting, cowardly and bad writing

[sugarcarnation]

really struck by how claudia grieving madeleine seems to be the thing that gets most to lestat during the seance. he only starts to cry when claudia tells them that she can’t find her companion, that’s she’s been alone this entire time. and of course this is what would get to him. the thing he fears the most is loneliness. so knowing that his daughter found a companion only to lose her again in death. it’s devastating

[yaoiblackmold]

If this was a normal romance Daniel saying "prove it" would prompt Armand to kiss him like he means it but because this is a weird freak4freak dynamic Armand just started listing out all the different times he stalked Daniel over 52 years. And Daniel being the freak he is actually looked moved by that confession.

[maxwyl]

lestat said kill yourself and armand made one of his bandmates jump in front of a train. lestat made fun of armand's sexual performance and past as a child sex slave and armand helped his boyfriend leak a video of lestat having sex with his own mother. you go low he goes to hell hall of fame
