Blorbo Meme - 4/5 Blorbos - Armand INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE AMC (2022 - )

y'all scream for sexual abuse representation but when it comes to lestat it’s suddenly “too much” because it isn’t some sort of airbrushed situation that can be mentioned once and never again

Reblog if you will never. Ever. Use AI in your writing.

Bonnie and Damon could have been the Buffy and Spike of TVD. Just imagine season 7 with Bonnie as the powerful lead of the show and her "pathetic for only her" vampire boy at her side kicking ass against whatever comes to Mystic Falls.

Oh Claudia, my poor, poor bab- (remembering all of her problems stem from the fact that she's constantly infantilized) grown ass adult woman

[ldrloversblog]

you can love a character and still admit when they’re wrong. i love claudia but can acknowledge her flaws (she has none) and can hold her accountable for her wrongdoings (she’s never done anything wrong in her life) and call her out for her actions (which are always correct).

pretty much everyone aknowledges that Louis' turning was a wedding, the church, the preists, unholy matrimony.

little is said about the fact that Madeleine's turning also serves a similar purpose, Claudeleine became companions in the eyes of the one person who had seniority in the terms of both queerness and vampirity + they both held some attachment to (daughter and fledgling).

they had a private ceremony and eloped, much like many other queer couples in the mid 20th c. and that really means something to me.

thinking about that toni morrison quote that went to the effect of ‘you’re looking in your children’s face to make sure their face is clean and their hair is combed and they’re looking in your face to see love.’ because it’s saur true.

One thing i am fascinated by with TV!TVL so far is that it uses form to construct meaning in a way that I don't really associate with television.

In 'Detroit' the editing is frenetic and psychadellic, and the storytelling is sort of flippant. Lestat is putting on a mask, he's high as a kite, and he's deflecting.

In 'Toledo', the flashbacks are short because Lestat doesn't want to dwell on the past. A sort of calm and relief descends upon the viewer when Louis is onscreen not just because we all love Louis and feel comfortable with him and his voice but because Lestat loves him and takes solace in him.

The form tells us something in this very explicit way. The language in S1-S2 is highly literary, so gorgeous and prose-like and mesmirising. The FORM here is so literary.

Of course the way the show handles the past in this season is different than it was in IwtV. Louis wanted to revisit his past - he wanted to reminisce about life with Claudia and Lestat in New Orleans, and he wanted to plumb the depths of his memory to understand who he is in the present. He had questions that only revisiting the past could answer.

Lestat does not want to return to or reminisce about the past. His memories are unwelcome, and what they tell him about who he is and what has made him brings only pain. He does not want to question or to get answers. So he rushes through the past and tries to dull his pain in the frantic hedonism of the present.
