What Happens When You Turn The Devil Down?

[professional-rat-eater]

Still processing a few days later and I think I have more balanced thoughts now.

The big swing for Armand this season was making him the presence while tying in the lack of closure between him and Louis from the end of season 2, addressing their really fucked up maitre/arun dynamic and Armand’s valid feelings about the second wave of their relationship, combined with that Claudia part of TVA to replace Lestat being tortured during to the trial because Loumand are the most significant relationship outside of Loustat and it textually made more sense to continue that storyline and provide an endpoint. Also the Loumand apology from the books. Ending one era to move into a new one for them both. Tying things up once and for all.

I totally see that and there was certainly a way to do this. I think the budget restrictions led to a lot of compromises nobody wanted to make. Armand needed closure but not knowing specifically what he wants Louis to apologise for is in character. Armand feeling pushed to violence like this is in character. It just needed to be set up entirely differently. The rest of the season, outside of Lestat, should’ve been spent letting us see more of Armand unravelling and obsessing over this, and if they wanted us to feel like Louis deserved this, we should’ve seen some of that methodical cruelty Armand mentioned instead of a few blunders. I also wonder if Jacob is just too likeable. I don’t know if I could ever be convinced his Louis deserved this reckoning, but certainly not with the story that had been told this season. He’s just too damn charismatic.

We should have soft-launched Armand’s capacity for this kind of violence and shown where he learned it, at least a little, and we should’ve been much kinder to Louis throughout. Don’t use him and his grief as a punching bag and actually make him seem as selfish as they keep telling us he is. I just felt bad for him almost the entire season, minus the Claudia episode, so this was super jarring. Also Armand does not get framed kindly like everyone else. This apology from Louis was the closest we’ve gotten to that. He got this and the Louvre scene and a few other scenes in season 2. Maybe the bowling alley scene and Big Boss too.

Have the narrative be kinder to Louis the rest of the time and show us that Armand is deeply mentally ill and has had his worldview shaped by violence and this would not have come off the way it did. Show us anything to suggest Armand felt wronged by Louis, because he was and their exchange was important. I really think Hannah did her best. It just should’ve been done so differently and the rest of the season did her absolutely zero favours in terms of setting this up.

no one has ever made me feel more seen and represented in my femininity other than Björk. something about her randomness and awkwardness and sincerity and authenticity. and she's scandinavian

but it was love.

It's just crazy how from an actual Armand perspective his actions make sense because of course he's turning all this on Louis, the one person who never had any power to truly hurt him, but then Rolin Jones will stand up and look you dead in the eyes and say "yeah we just felt like Louis needed to be genuinely punished for his treatment of Armand" and I have no idea what the fuck to do with that

Most horror films show your teenage years as this powerful time where all those possibilities enable you to fight against a threat from outside. I saw the TV glow does the exact opposite. It shows the emptiness, the endless existence of adolescents. Knowing that something is wrong, the need to change while being absolutely terrified of change. Growing up queer, autistic, depressed, trans and/or with strict parents, realising that you do not belong but a part of you tries to conform so fucking bad. This movie was able to show the horror of surviving instead of living.

You can’t call yourself a leftist if you hate children tbh, like you can choose not to have them or be around them, but outright hating the most marginalised group of people in the world who have absolutely no power or control over the most basic parts of their lives and bodies is a dangerous mentality to have and you need to grow the fuck up and get out of your edgy phase and start treating everyone around you like human beings, even the ones that piss you off.

I miss when ads were a single click and then they’re gone. Now every ad has a minimum of three phases where you watch a video, exit the still frame of fake gameplay, and then exit the app download. That doesn’t even touch on the ones that forcibly take you to another app after opening a tab in safari without you ever touching the screen.

I hate advertising. I hate that you can’t do anything without companies jumping down your throat with mostly bullshit ads. I hate that billboards exist. I hate that every company unanimously decided to make their ads longer and longer. I hate that ad blockers try to charge you money and there are in app purchases to remove ads. I hate that my attention has become commodified. I hate that there’s nothing I can do about it.

i think we should start using "you would be friends with hitler if he liked vocaloid" more often actually. generally we need to start shaming people who are willingly ignoring and/or waving away racism, transphobia, misogyny, etc because you should not be rolling over like a submitting dog for people who have said slurs, support/are friends/work with genuinely terrible people, and make bad taste "jokes" (which could just be bullying and/or bigotry) just because they made something you like or enjoy the same thing(s) as you. it should not be this difficult for someone to acknowledge the faults of someone else
