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

it's still so wild to me that the TVL panel is gonna be in Hall H like what the hell

They better announce something big, and AMC better up the production budget.

Having many thoughts about past Devil's Minion, Armand's stalking of Daniel, and how Louis fits into it all but I am still so groggy off pain meds that I don't think I can express them well enough

but trust I am writing real good fanfiction in my brain

#the writers have so much they can do with that shit #a love triangle but only one person knows that its happening (Armand)#I think that Armand reporting back to Louis was an act based on guilt and also a way to justify to himself that he didn't love Daniel #it could also serve as another self-imposed punishment that continues to grow his resentment towards Louis #Armand really gets mad about shit he did to himself he's so real #tvl spoilers #the vampire armand #devils minion

I hate when my wrist hurts so bad oh my god I just want to draw I don’t want to rest!!! Why does it always have to flare up when I’m feeling the most inspired!!!
