You know what, I think some of us moved on too quickly from the idea that TVL was Lestat's POV and all the characters were being filtered through him. People were very quick to remind us all of this when they wanted to deny that Armand and Daniel had a unique bond or that DM was even real at all, but somehow this argument got forgotten along the way.

And there's something I've been reflecting on with regard to this when it comes to Daniel and the argument that he's been flattened.

Now I thought of this when I saw this interview with Jacob:

Now if Lestat's POV is influencing the portrayal of Louis, why wouldn't that be true of other characters, particularly ones that he doesn't really like very much? Why wouldn't he portray Daniel—a two-time Pulitzer prize winner who was always on his ass, pissed him off, and then cut off his head—in a terrible and unsympathetic light? Why wouldn't he portray Daniel—the annoying fledgling of the guy who killed his daughter—as a stroppy teenager who uses Gen Z slang and straight up says that Lestat might be smarter than him (Daniel Molloy would NEVER).

I'm not saying that certain events never happened, because see this post, however what I am saying is that the Lestat filter, if it can colour Louis, then it's going to colour the others.

Lestat uses cringey slang in episode 1, a lot. So is Daniel really the one saying things like "yaoi manther" or did Lestat put those words in his mouth? Is Armand really saying "armends" and "girlies" or is that a Lestatification of all that? Armand mispronounces Amhurst when he emphasises the "H", just like Lestat with Worcester (notably, Daniel corrects Lestat but not Armand). He also says he's going to "lob" Regina's head off when the phrase is actually to "lop" something off. You could even argue that Armand speaking in his French accent and Daniel not questioning it is a part of this (although there could easily be other reasons for this too).

Now none of this explains why they made Daniel say so many offensive things—maybe he's just that much of an evil boomer. And none of this is to say that all the writing is perfect. But I do think that some of the things (particularly language things) that are being written off as OOC are actually like that on purpose.

[hesitantlyhappy]

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

"i knew it, i knew you" is about shane and ilya meeting again during all stars weekend if you even care

[lavenderprose]

If Shane was in a band he would be the drummer. Tell me I'm right. Drummers are canonically the most unbothered members of the band which is why Shane's personal drama is so insane to both him and the world at large. Or maybe why they don't suspect anything. Ilya would be lead singer ofc. Lead singer bass guitar. Shane would double dip on keyboard sometimes. Don't ask why I'm thinking these thoughts ❤️ Validate my choices.

i am an “ilya is shane’s baby and shane is ilya’s man” truther. ilya is “my man my man my man”-ing all over town, his boyfriend/husband is THE Shane Hollander, rich hockey player/model, did you know that? did you know? and Shane is quietly paying for all of everything (with their shared bank account) and carrying Ilya’s bag in one hand and holding his hand with the other and opening the car door and pulling Ilya into his chest at night to hold him tight and whispering “my baby” into his ear.

crucially, they are both so beside themselves about this that it makes them both cry a little.
