✨ Daniel's daily affirmations ✨
~Brat Prince~ sketches
i dont watch it but its very funny to me that iwtv s1 episode titles are like We Burn Eternally Beneath The Hateful Fury Of A Deity’s Ancient Vengeance and iwtv s3 episode titles are like Cleveland
This feels like a basic thing to praise but so much visual media fails to utilize the whole scope of the language afforded to it that I need to praise everyone working on IWTV and TVL for doing a fantastic job at putting us into Lestat's head (and also retroactively Louis'). The words spoken by the narrator aren't the only thing subjective to them, because the way their story is illustrated is also adjusted to their perspective - pacing, editing, color, story structure, music, it's all utilized really well to show how different these two are.
I also need to praise the writers' and showrunners' approach to episode 1, because it's such well thought out, character-driven chaos that puts us straight into Lestat's head without any brakes or preamble. We see his ego, his insecurities, his self-awareness, his commitment to performance and the moments when it slips, his determination to distract himself and others from the layers and layers of pain and trauma that keep seeping through the cracks before they're stamped down by another colorful, chaotic, sexy, absurd distraction, and we feel everything urging toward the bottom of the spiral the harder he pushes against it. Daniel's Were you a stutterer as a child? guides us down that spiral along with him, exposing each time how much that single question (and what it represents) means for this season's arc, and it sets up the rest of the season and the therapeutic aspects they've been teasing in interviews in a really satisfying way. I'm ready, let's fucking go.
In biology they told us that the eye doesn't actually see everything in the room, it fills in most of it from memory and assumption. your brain is just confidently making stuff up about what's probably there and you believe it because you have no reason not to. and i thought that was just a vision fact but actually it's the most important thing i know about unreliable narrators. your character isn't lying. they genuinely see the room they expect to see. that's so much scarier.
shout out to the wolves lestat killed. you were just animals doing your thing, trying to make it in the french countryside. your sacrifice lives on in the most disastrous bisexual immortal of all time
Devil’s Minion might already be canon at the time of the auction scene. We might be there. That’s so surreal to think about.
Does Louis know? What does he think of it? Does he care? He’s currently not talking to either of them so they’re probably perfect for each other in his mind.
And where is Daniel? Outside in the car with the window cracked open so he doesn’t suffocate? Does Louis know Armand keeps his companion in a hot car?
so when louis meowed how did he share that to daniel in the interview? did he sit at his 10 foot long divorce table with armand on the other end, look him in the eye and meow?? how did it go down louis I just wanna know
INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE 2.01 'What Can the Damned Really Say to the Damned' THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 1.01 'Detroit'
let's punch children with mama
I need at least one episode of this season to be dedicated to Armand showcasing his Tomodachi Life island because I just know he has one and I know he gets mad at his miis when they don’t like the outfits he gives them and threatens to send them away.
lestat growling like a cat with a chicken breast in its mouth while killing that one vampire....
please find me
iwtv/tvl hot(?) take:
having discourse about who is telling "the truth" between lestat, louis, armand, claudia etc. is an unproductive loop.
these vampires are so old and heavily traumatized that it has severely changed how they recall their lives throughout the decades, centuries. fans obsessed with wanting to know "the truth" will never be satisfied mostly because a lot of them (who see the series this way) want to know who is right in the horrible actions that these beautiful immortal monsters have done to one another.
i find this to be a shallow way to read the characters in this series. analyzing their actions in almost a black and white way.
in my opinion, I think it's better to analyze their characters in HOW they tell their stories. with just the first episode alone (as of me writing this, there's only been 1 episode released) of The Vampire Lestat and the 15 episodes of IWTV we've already seen we can easily see how vastly different Louis and Lestat are in how they process (or lack thereof) their trauma.
Lestat avoids or deflects and hides by indulging in his desires. Louis deflects or redirects and instead finds a reasoning for why things happened the way they happened. it helps Louis maintain control, especially over his sanity.
also i find discussing/talking about who is right or who is "really telling the truth" to be utterly BORING! and i refused to engage in such conversations.
