i bet it feels good as fuck to intend to do something and then actually do it

[redstonedust]

they should give bus and train drivers control of the aux so they can blast passengers with whatever music they choose. this would not improve the experience and in fact largely make it worse for everyone but i dont think that should stop them.

For folks wondering why "Black Licorice" keeps being referred to as a better song...imo it's because Lestat didn't write it. Satan's Night Out had already written the song before they ever met Lestat. Lestat claims he made a change to the chord progression, but did he really? And for sure some of the lyrics are his, but also the chorus almost certainly isn't (imo).

"Long Face" is his song. "Black Licorice" is not.

So when people tell him how much they hate "Long Face" but love "Black Licorice," it's actually, secretly, a source of pain and shame for him. Just further erosion of his self-esteem.

And then to add onto the meta layer, "Black Licorice" was a song Daniel Hart had already written and recorded over a decade ago. He didn't even write it for Lestat (although the lyrics are changed). Which is just such a *chef's kiss.*

The implication that Daniel described Armand's cunty little hunting outfit from the Dubai penthouse with enough detail for someone to recreate it exactly as a child's Halloween costume has me hyperventilating.

Lestat disrespecting pronouns makes complete sense. Lestat is a misogynist and has a billion layers of internalized racism. His scope of empathy is confined to his own identity. He will challenge homophobia and any criticisms against his identity and choices but he won't do the same for others.

Like we saw that man dismiss Louis' very valid anger at the white businessmen in Storyville. He didn't lift a finger to actually help in a meaningful way, and when Louis killed Fenwick(?), his reaction wasn't to reflect on why Louis chose him of all people to kill. He thought Louis had gotten around to killing, which is blatantly not the case. Lestat did exactly what he did with Louis; say surface level things and commentary while not behaving any differently. That is literally the root cause for why his relationship with Louis fractured.

He loves Claudia but it's the same with her too, he never saw how her race and her previous experiences as a human impacted her ability to trust and function in the world. I know the whole train interaction is being challenged as a complete lie, but something Lestat did made Claudia feel like he saw her sexual assault as trivial.

Lestat in pop culture is a queer icon, a symbol due to how much he deviated from that time's norms. But in-story he was still rather, I don't wanna say conservative but, more conforming than you'd think.

sorry the fact that lestat went and bought halloween candy- and still went to give it out despite the fact he was in the middle of a breakdown- just for kids to show up at his door dressed like his dead daughter and two of his exes. absolutely killing me.

what I fucking love is how tvl was written in the 80s and lestat is constantly sayinf shit like “as the kids say 🤪 that’s so rad!!” or whatever, and to me, reader of the vampire lestat in this modern age, that does NOT register the way anne rice intended it.

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.

but amc in all their incredible genius decided that honoring anne rice’s original vision of writing an extremely modern and weird book that fully embodied the era it was written in was more important then bringing back the 80s nostalgia thing that streaming services love and it’s incredible to me. now I get to listen to lestat say shit like “labubu FOMO cosplay reddit discord Gen Z more like gen SNOOZE 🤪🤪🤪 safe space pronouns donald trump labubu tiktok dance 🕺🏻” and suddenly I understand what it felt like to be a young anne rice reader in 1985. God…. I understand.
