"It was my choice. I bore Viserys three Targaryens. But with the last, my last... I wanted him to be a Hightower. In truth, I'm glad I waged that battle, seeing now what came of our other sons. Perhaps sending Daeron away was my truest act of motherhood."

There are many reasons why I don’t buy the cynical interpretation that Ariel gives away her identity for a man.

One of them starts in the next paragraph. Another one can be read here.

This screencap comes from Ariel’s introductory scene. She’s searching through a shipwreck for human artifacts–which is her passion–when suddenly she’s attacked by a shark.

While fleeing, she accidentally drops her bag full of artifacts right in the shark’s path. Without hesitating, she chooses her passion over her safety, risking her life for a dinglehopper.

The girl is an anthropologist who studies humans. That’s her passion, that’s how she spends her time…that’s her identity.

Sure, Eric is the catalyst that leads Ariel to changing her species and leaving her family–he certainly intensifies her feelings–but they’re feelings she already has, and they dictate most of her life.

If Ariel had the chance to become a human before she met Eric, everything that we know about her suggests that she probably would.

Oh what the fuck. Oh GODDDDDDDDDD. Loustat all the way down.

[violet-moonstone]

the amount of pearl clutching and moralizing in the iwtv/tvl fandom I'm seeing is insane

I cannot understand watching a show about violent, immortal beings who kill humans (most of whom enjoy the act) and getting upset when they say or do offensive things that make sense in the context of the show

on claudia's rant:

Claudia is trying to be as hurtful and cruel to louis as possible because she's trapped in some kind of hellish limbo, reliving all her pain and resentment in isolation without actually living. If you were in that situation would you be worried about being politically correct in your tirade against the parents who failed you?

claudia calling louis lestat's slave is in alignment both with the books and previous seasons. Both book and show claudia are disgusted by how willing louis is to follow lestat rather than stand on his own. The added racial element in the show only adds to claudia's resentment towards lestat. Considering the cultural context of seasons 1 and 2 she clearly does not like the idea of being ordered around and threatened by an arrogant white man. Louis' comparative willingness to do so infuriates her. Hence calling louis a slave -- like calling another black person uncle tom or a coon -- it's calling him out for being complicit in lestat suppressing their agency. A less racialized insult might be calling him a bootlicker, or sycophant or something like that, but clearly she wants to drive home the shame she thinks louis should feel at his lack of spine, so she calls him the most hurtful thing she can think of.

I've seen people call out black republican politicians and those who play into respectability politics by drawing parallels between them and a house slave -- a harsh reminder to them that even if they have the veneer of respectability, material comforts, and assimilation, they are ultimately cozying up to people who don't respect them as human beings

claudia calling louis' hair nappy is like...dear god in the grand scheme of things why tf are we getting mad about this? Yes, calling a black person's hair nappy is insulting. Claudia and louis have a shared cultural background and trading insults that are informed by your own experiences with cultural beauty standards and/or discrimination is pretty common. It's a shitty thing to do when it's not meant with affection, but Claudia is trying to be shitty.

So was this this offensive and even problematic? sure! but something being upsetting and having a problematic history associated with it doesn't mean your immediate response should be to condemn it entirely. Media isn't bad or irredeemable just because it makes you feel uncomfortable.

for the record -- I think it is absolutely valid to critcize the show and I have my fair share for this season. But being upset about Claudia's rant specifically just baffles me

The concept of the Vampire Armand doing his complete curly hair routine so his curls can be ✨defined✨ for his double murder date with his fledgling

[professional-rat-eater]

I think it’s worth pointing out that neither Daniel nor Armand seem happy about having to do that to Lestat and Louis. Not that I thought for a second they ever would be.

There’s having an issue with someone, and there’s wanting them dead. Daniel is certainly not fond of Lestat, but Armand is, in his own way, and they both care about Louis.

Maybe they’re really trying to kill them, maybe they know it’s temporary (I believe the latter), but look at their faces as they walk away. Joyless. This was a last resort. Armand asked Lestat to stop. Lestat escalated, and so they had to as well. I mean this is the end of the world.

Look at Armand in particular. There’s a heaviness to the way he walks. He looks exhausted, and perhaps it’s a lack of sleep or perhaps he’s just tired of everything he’s had to do. Maybe he’s tired of being alone. Probably all three. But people want him to be the Gremlin so bad that they act like that’s all he is. Like that’s the “real him.” He still cares. If he didn’t, he wouldn’t have asked Lestat to stop. He’s not a mindlessly violent person. It’s purposeful and restrained and utterly miserable.

[ladypaperwriterson]

"You simply cannot trust Louis, he's a completely unreliable narrator and every single thing he ever said should be put to question! It's so good that we finally have Lestat's version, which is obviously the only true one - so good to finally have a reliable narrator!"

The reliable narrator:

[kissesfromaghost]

All of them are so unreliable it's crazy. Louis, Lestat and Claudia all hold their own point of view with their own traumas, experiences, judgements and thoughts. None of them are reliable because none of them are able to be objective. The truth will always remain untold cause that's found in the middle.

Then again them not being able to tell an objective story is very human. Where 2 people fight 2 have fault, yet if you would ask both of them what happened you'd get 2 different stories.

[professional-rat-eater]

I fucking love that Claudia literally made up the train story. There wasn’t any part of truth in it. I didn’t think they’d go there because of how much they’ve softened all of these characters, but they really committed.

And guess what? It didn’t change a thing about how Louis and Lestat treated her. She’s still a victim. Still a bandaid for a shitty marriage. Still a roof shingle that flew off of their house. They still doomed her to an eternity of misery.

I do think Lestat saw her the most clearly though. He saw how monstrous she could be and loved her all the more for it, not in spite of it. Stained Glass Eyes, while self-indulgent, is more about how he thinks she might react to him rather than purely his own grief. He was complicit in killing her, after all. It doesn’t mean he can’t love her. Love between vampires can be countless things.

I know people post this quote a lot, but it’s a really good one.

“And I cannot say even now that I regret Claudia... Claudia was my dark child, my love, evil of my evil. Claudia broke my heart."

i think its great that armand gets to murder his ex-boyfriends with his current boyfriend. it's a wonderful idea for a date night. armand is so considerate.
