Given Raglan's comment to Daniel about Louis being the one to fear instead of Armand and Armand's comment in ep5 about Louis being methodically cruel it feels to me that Louis' gonna hurt Daniel in these next episodes. Either verbal or non-verbal, and Daniel's gonna drop the "Your boyfriend sleeps with your mom" bomb in response, since apparently it isn't revealed in Loustat's interview.
Mhhh. No. :)
I really can't wait to see when they revisit murder night!
Louis doing through with killing lestat only for seconds later to get hit by the weight of his actions and start sobbing 😭
We need the full scene! Think of the angst potential!
Yeah, I'd also love it when they'd revisit that in full!

So it's not Daniel's chest that has the A? Got excited for nothing I guess.
I think it might be very hard to tell there.
We'll... see?
I wonder if some clips in the show being upside down actually mean anything
They do, take a look at @cbrownjc's reblog here:
Hmmm.. is there a reason behind some of the shots being upside down? Like the first shot in ep 4 of the open road being upside down, the cof
I love reading your interpretations of all the scenes where Lemuel is mentioned. Can you tell us what you think of what Louis said to Regina in ep5 about Lemuel?
In this scene?
Look at Louis' facial expressions.
He is bored as hell in that relationship. How he laughs about the "I'm hungry.". The way where he says he goes nights without knowing where Lemuel is, but that he "likes it that way".
The little "hmm", when Regina calls it "taking it slow". The look there.
He's bored out of his skull.
Which is exactly why he is turning back to what he used to have. Longs to go back to it.
cuelty was always a part of his ingredient
funny that some people are still insisting that at the meeting with the lawyers scene louis was acting out of genuine concern for lestat and actually it was an act of kindness and healthy expression of his worry!
and then you have jacob outright calling louis in this scene dangerous, naughty and actively cruel towards lestat. and sam saying that louis owning lestat's band merch was a nightmarish situation for lestat.
The recent interview with Sam and Jacob and how Sam reacted when Jacob started talking about the lawyer scene makes me feel like there is more there that we don’t yet know about unless he just didn’t know when the interview would be posted
They didn't know that, and I mean, there were also things that they cut from that lawyer scene. (I take it you talk about The Wrap video??)
But it was interesting once more to hear Jacob talk about how Louis is tapping into his cruelty there, for and in that meeting.
sorry I have like no one else to tell this too but cbrownjc’s body swap theory is very probable and it makes me very sad to think about like i’ve been crying for an hour. im heartbroken. I’d prefer at least that the body swap happens mid or late S4 than S3.
So I pushed these back for answering, because I wanted to give @cbrownjc a moment to catch up :), but... first off, I'm sorry you guys took it so hard and let me just throw a hug at you?!
The thing about DM is... like... the hints have been building up. And the canon ... provides possibility. And I seriously think that this was set up like this from the beginning, just as she does.
I am not sure what will happen to Daniel this season. For what it's worth, I have not "seen" it yet :), so ... who knows.
I did find the comments in After Dark especially though... telling.
But, guys, and I agree that it will make an impact on the fan base, but - they have it all very carefully set up. Cast brilliant actors. Built it up through seasons.
Isn't that something to enjoy regardless?
I wouldn't worry for upcoming seasons, the only thing will be the hiatus.
But that's coming regardless, no way around it.
Isn't it better to think about a few possibilities now, instead of being totally sucker punched by whatever they meant in After Dark then?
I, personally, prefer to ... have that safety net, if you will. Because ultimately it makes it a lot more enjoyable to ... ride the wave of mayhem.

people want lestat to be a liar so bad it’s really sad cause there is one character who purposefully lies and manipulates and it’s armand yet bros babied like there’s no tomorrow
A part of this fandom decided that Lestat lies because Claudia said so - and that is how far they took their critical thinking skills.
Sad, really, and won't help them with the rest of the show, but that is what it boils down to.
Idk what lie Louis could be upset about but if it’s the Gabriella situation I will definitely be slightly annoyed at him because it’s obviously a good reason Lestat wouldn’t want to talk about that
He has shame about that relationship with his mother and Louis being more upset about not knowing back then and calling it a “lie” is certainly a choice considering he told the world about Magnus and Bruce so nothing would’ve stopped him from spreading that information either
Yes. It is a choice.
It is also not the whole scene, and you guys might want to watch the whole scene first.
.... custody battles....?
Well I'm assuming the factions will end up fighting over on who gets to keep.... Lestat >.>
If the Talamasca ends up being involved in some way it's going to get interesting
Ah.
Mhhh. I don't think that is what will happen there, but... well. A version of this may happen later lol.
Louis better not make Gabi abusing Lestat about himself
Why don't you wait for the whole scene, hm?
yes exactlyyy, even the "ex-boyfriend" in that clip they keep being deliberately vague. in the sex monologue there are all those flashes of lestat actually having sex with people except for armand, whose flashback is of him in MAGNUS' tower of all places. lestat not acknowledging the affair and his face seems almost confused when nicki lists those places, the very charged expression on sam's face at the "i'm quite sexy" line, armand leaving the concert the way muse magnus and gabriella did.......c'mon. at this point i'd be shocked if the writers DID get rid of the attempted rape
It's like everyone believing Lestat went to the trial voluntarily and for revenge... like, this show would not put it on so thick, and make it clear that everyone thinks it is that, in order not to pull it back then, imho.

I was just looking at the posters again and something stood out to me, except I can't properly explain it and I don't know if it's a coincidence or not... team Green/Yellow has 2 doppelgangers, 1 future body thief, 1 talamasca agent whose identity was previously assumed by Armand. Armand himself, who is yet to show his true self,as you and V said. Alex, who's clearly been meddled with in some way and who might be up to something (also what's up with that mask in the teaser?), Daniel, whose vampiric status is unclear, and there's apparently something wrong with him.. It's like all of them (save for Salamander) have had dual identities at some point or are not who/what they seem to be at first glance.
Mhhhhh. I'd say close. To what I'm thinking at least :) Very close.
I’m so confused by Gabistat shippers😅
At first it didn’t bother me as much because it’s not real people but when they start blaming Lestat for things I get very upset about it. I even recently saw someone blaming 3 year old Lestat for his mother leaving him and claiming he was probably being annoying.
I don’t even want to think about all of the people who genuinely believe Lestat wants that physical relationship with his mom and I guess this bothers me so much because no one else’s trauma in the show is this joked about or ignored.
The way people have so little empathy these days is astounding.
As per the physical relationship with his mom - that should be beyond clear after this episode.
'nuff said.
So if Armand can teach Daniel how to day walk, why didn't extend that gesture to Louis as well? He was (not) the love of his life! xD
(they were " together" for 70 something years)
Gifts cannot be taught, only practiced.
And I think there is a bit more to the "daywalking", but I think the show is keeping that for later. Maybe.
