Jennifer Ehle did such a good job as Gabriella because even though she is a horrible horrible monster and made me feel nauseous at points I still had a good time when she was on screen and am very interested to see where they take her character in the future

It’s kind of the same situation with Christopher Heyerdahl as Marius because his acting is so well done and entertaining that I’m genuinely looking forward to seeing more

#tvl spoilers

I know that given the content of the books it shouldn’t be surprising that some people genuinely ship Marius and Armand but it still blows my mind

Like some people are actually upset at the idea of the show making it even more clear that Marius abused Armand like were y’all expecting a romcom??? No, the sexual abuse of a minor isn’t going to be romantic 🫩

(This isn’t directed at people who just find the relationship/dynamic interesting to explore btw!!)

One of the best things that came from me starting to watch iwtv was getting to hear this random story from my mom about how one of her family friend’s sons ended up at a party at Anne Rice’s house. I think he had to have met and been invited by Christopher Rice?? Idk all I know is that he thought her house was nuts lmao.

Like my grandma is from Louisiana and spent some time in New Orleans so it’s not that crazy to think that she would have some stories about Anne Rice but it’s still wild to think about. Small world I guess??

Also apparently my dad dated several girls who ended up with Anne Rice shrines in their rooms and so he’s been too freaked out to consume any Anne Rice media since

#this lowkey sounds fake but I promise it’s not #i kinda wanna ask my grandma if she has any stories but im too shy #amc tvl #amc iwtv #anne rice

Sometimes when I find myself infantilizing Claudia I have to remind myself that she’s probably taller than me and can 1000% beat my ass

I still think one of the wildest things TVL did was show Daniel showering twice for no reason, like who decided that Eric needed to be butt ass naked not once but twice

Also, if Lestat is narrating this season why did he feel the need to mention it TWICE

#everyone wants that old man in and out of the show #who pitched that?? Was it Eric??#was the ass shot in the script before Eric made Rolin change stuff #also why did his camera man sneak a shot of him what was going on on that bus #while we're here who decided that the bar soap had to be rubber ducky shaped???#tvl spoilers #daniel molloy

Armand's TVL E7 Costume

lazy-ladybug

I can not wrap my head around that shirt being a flannel, like the lighting completely masked the pattern it's crazy

shrugsinchinese

Essek except it’s Assad Zaman with his Armand butcher shop hair

the concept of Daniel being a 70 year old sugar baby

#devils minion #that shit is so crazy

Assad and Eric are either going to kiss on the mouth or be seated as far away from each other as possible during that panel tomorrow

They've already been unhinged in interviews I can not imagine what could happen during a live panel

I think Lestat gives off big horse vibes

#thought sponsored by all the silly horse TikTok’s i watch #He’s tall and graceful but also silly and eats shit often #amc tvl #amc iwtv #the vampire lestat #lestat de lioncourt

Very scared for Armand and Marius to be on screen together because I know I’ll throw up and cry but also I can not wait to see Assad Zaman and Christopher Heyerdahl be scene partners

They both such fantastic actors so I can not imagine how powerful their scenes together will be

#praying for good scripts PLEASE #the vampire armand #tvl spoilers #marius de romanus

Fareed clearly signed up to take part in some medical malpractice but didn’t realise he had agreed to work with Jigsaw.

The way he was side eyeing Louis when Armand started rubbing his shoulders made me laugh so hard he was so fucking scared

I’m not really a fan of conspiracy theories to explain away poor writing but I do think that a lot of the issues with the season and its production is a little fishy

Also the way Rolin and the cast seem to be goading AMC in interviews makes me wonder what went down between seasons

#I’m not excusing the poor writing but things do feel a bit off #tvl spoilers

was thinking more about creating TVC-themed concept work for my portfolio, and I have so many ideas about what an animated adaptation of TVA would look like, it's eating at my brain

fuuuuck I'm gonna have to read those fucking books

#the architecture of Venice would be so fun to play with #and the aesthetics of Renaissance art?? so good #even the potntial of bringing roman art into the design of Marius is so good #idk if I could divorce the Assad's Armand from my brain though #I need my busted wrist to heal NOW #the vampire armand #the vampire chronicles

There are plenty of things to be mad about in terms of the butcher shop scene, but I feel like acting like the show was framing Armand's actions against Louis as "right" is crazy work.

Like, they could not have shot or scored that scene in a more obvious way to communicate how fucking insane Armand's behavior was if they tried. Idk how you could walk away believing that the show was trying to make you agree with Armand

Even Armand didn't agree with Armand! Dude was trembling and erratic towards the tail end of the scene; that's not a man in his right mind. It is very clear through the beautiful acting of Assad that Armand is not entirely sold on needing an apology from Louis. He just wants an apology from literally anyone, or at least for all the blame to not be put on himself. If everything is his fault, how is he supposed to reckon with that? Who is he supposed to punish? Louis was at that point the most recent individual who had harmed Armand and who Armand had harmed (obviously Armand hurt Louis more, but that's not the point), so it makes sense that his ire would be turned on him.

Also the things Louis was trying to apoligize for were no where near at the same level as everything Armand had laid out in his own letter, that's why Armand kept on throwing it away. We as the audience are supposed to be appaled and confused and frustrated by Armand's actions because they make no sense!

The only apology we were supposed to take seriously was Louis's acknowledgment of Armand's past. Which, even then, wasn't entirely Louis apologizing for his own actions; it was more like a blanket apology for Armand's life as a whole.

That scene could have 100% been done better with more grace and sensitivity and less cartoon villain bullshit (I can suspend my disbelief with the vampires and the Talamasca, but I'm gonna have to draw the line on Armand having facial recognition software on his fucking iPad), but I feel like the interpretation that the scene was meant to turn us against Louis in any way is being made in bad faith.

#obviously this isn't me saying nothing can be critiqued but i do feel like some people are looking for something to be mad at #the core of what they were trying to get across was very interesting but the scene itself needed work #I hope that this scene and Armand's motives (and how messy they were) can be revisited #this also isn't touching on the dynamics of Loumand but based on how the scene left them I'd be surprised if that's the last we see of it #tvl spoilers

I’m trying to figure out ways to milk my current fixation on iwtv for my portfolio

the most obvious option to me is to read the books and play with designing the characters for animation but I think I’d have a hard time divorcing them from the tv series

another avenue would be to continue doing visual analysis of scenes from the show and turning them into comics or interpreting scenes from the books into comic format

Hmmm idk

#I do have a lot of feelings about a TVA animated adaptation but idk if I can draw an Armand that’s not Assad #I could play with lineups based on the show too I guess #idk I just need to build my portfolio more #amc tvl #amc iwtv
