so with David gone, and Louis still refusing to turn lestat, who will turn him back into a vampire do you think?

.... No-one?!!

Do you know the story, nonny?

There’s roughly two years plus till that part of the story - maybe read that book?

I actually think waiting to show Lestat as a victim of Armand is a very intentional move on the writers' part. They seem hyperaware that there's a portion of their show-only audience that didn't fully understand the ending of Season 2 and weren't sold on Lestat. So they purposely built Season 3 and its marketing around slowly shifting those perceptions -- besides the fact that they didn't have enough money to do the final episode concert, which likely heavily influenced the shape of the season, I do think the Long Table was more revelatory for show-only viewers. For book readers, the Long Table tells us nothing new about Lestat. But watching show-only reactors on youtube, many seem struck by Lestat's self-hatred and how hard the Table is on him. It feels like they didn't fully understand him until the Long Table, and always end up cheering when he presses the 8 minute snooze button. Based on Sam and Assad's comments and performances, and knowing Sam at least is aware of the planned season arcs, I don't think they're NOT going to show past Lesmand. I think they'll likely tie that memory to Akasha's coercion, and likely got the idea from the book itself, where Lestat explicitly compares Akasha's spell voice to Armand's. But we'll see!

Fingers crossed!

I do hope you’re right and I DO agree a lot points that way.

Only the hiatus to get through to see *laughs*

Do you think they’ll update and give any indication whether they’re going to split QOTD over 2 seasons or not and when they’ll start filming since they released that teaser at SDCC?

I hope so! Fingers crossed for NYCC!

I know that in TOTBT Louis refused to be Lestat's maker but do you think they're gonna do that in the show. In the book he has still seeing vampirism as a curse and he was telling Lestat that he should be happy to be human, but I don't see that happening in the show. So do you think he will refuse if Lestat asks him ?

Probably gonna be season 5 but still a thought.

Yes, I do think he will still refuse him, and I think it will mirror Claudia’s turning. Both Sam and Jacob have talked about wanting to do that scene 🥰

And yes, I also think that will be season 5 :))

this is like twenty lines of loustat cocaine

Lestat drawing 🚬

[nalyra-dreaming]

Do you think Louis will remember that he said Lestat was the love of his life? Or at least enough of the experience that it drives home what he means to him?

I think that was clear already in the bus afterwards, yes.

[nalyra-dreaming]

I love jam, but it's cool to see Jacob and Assad doing interviews together, I really like the energy between the two of them ❤️❤️❤️

Glad you enjoyed them!

[nalyra-dreaming]

They released a teaser for QOTD. But what about TVL being a half? What about the other half? Will it be included in QOTD?

I hope so.
