the irony of the white cis straight showrunners of IWTV/the vampire lestat finally giving claudia the chance to show her true rage, only to have both louis and lestat change the subject so quickly and laugh and giggle and move on… it’s not just about their characters. it’s bad writing. the showrunners don’t fucking care about claudia. THEY are the ones who continuously use her for plot and to further louis and lestat’s development. and that she’s in hell after all of this?? punished forever?? truly fuck the show runners. they don’t know how to write women and a lot of their choices have been clearly misogynistic, but this really takes the cake. i hate to remind people of this next part, but robin jones actually did say once regarding claudia’s sexual assault that “it's a horrible thing that happened to her, but it has toughened her up."

the show runners’ attitude to sexual assault in general is awful. them having claudia lie about lestat threatening rape, the constant incest jokes, the fact that louis and lestat also quickly moved on to joking about incest after that intense, heartbreaking scene when louis learns about this?? fuck those guys so hard. i am so sorry to anyone who had to sit through this deplorable nastiness who have been affected by sexual assault. we deserve stories that actually respect our experiences.

delainey hayles deserves accolades for her performance, and she also deserves to be under the employ of better people.

And people spent so much time calling people who were seeing the patterns in the marketing and the early episodes doomposters and haters for having eyes and pattern recognition, but they've genuinely gone lower than any of my worst fears for this season. Like I could not have imagined that they would have the audacity to do this shit 2 months ago.

[lilacs-in-the-wind]

The showrunners chose to make Louis and Claudia black and experience life in the Jim crow era. They chose to do the full race swap in season 1, not just making the characters but also the story black. They chose to racialize the violence that both Louis and Claudia face throughout the first season. No one was forcing their hands and they got praised for the stuff they did in the first two seasons, for bringing in the added nuance of systemic racism. So why should I as an audience member of colour give them any grace when they choose to write dialogues containing numerous racialized and gendered micro aggressions not just towards Louis or Claudia but also minor characters like Dee or Lemuel who weren't necessarily supposed to exist as they are (black) in the show?? Why is Daniel (a white man) who is supposed to be a Pulitzer prize winning investigative journalist who was lecturing Louis on his own story about the racism he faced referring to him as a "bucket of Louisiana fried chicken"?? Why is Armand textually belittled for being a CSA victim while Lestat is endlessly provided with grace and understanding in the text of the show for his victimhood?? Who thought it was alright to adapt a scene from the books involving white characters talking about parental betrayal and insert racially charged dialogues (that too old school racist shit not even the n word) when it was unnecessary to preserve the nuance of the scene?? Why is this show denying the racialized nature of domestic violence that they chose to portray in S1 ??? (Lestat getting mildly annoyed that Louis didn't enjoy going to the operas in nola when he had to act as Lestat's servant to be allowed in tf??) Why is Gabriella like that??

I cannot help but look at this season of the show as a sign of the times tbh. IWTV aired during a very liberal era of entertainment and now that fascism and white supremacy is on the rise everywhere white entertainers have become comfortable enough to fall back into old habits. Never thought this show in particular would have this problem when I watched the first season but it is what it is I guess

ok so they did it. they made Claudia the liar. and lestat "not the abuser". I actually am stunned. how could they try and rewrite the train scene like that... it doesnt change the other terrible things that lestat has done that we know are true. and the things he is doing now.

and can this white ass writing room stop being racist hello. there's actually no reason for it. I don't even understand what's happening anymore I have genuinely lost all faith in the writers and like am finding myself wishing we didn't get a 3rd season at all if it was going to be like this. im. I'm so angry.
