tvl fails so badly narratively because after two seasons of exploring themes of memory and trauma and grief and four years of discussing said things we are suddenly dropped somewhere with 5 nonsensical framing devices all stacked on top of each other, actions with no real consequences that are given no context, and two second clips of the actual events of the book it’s pretending to adapt. i feel bad for everyone who read tvl between seasons. i feel bad in general.

the season started in media res while also being 90% exposition, relying on shock humor, already dated references to current-ish events, and a gag at the end of every episode that winds up being immensely inconsequential. they do so little with the characters. and i do not care if this is how lestat sees people. if i wanted an un-interrogated narrative, i would read an anne rice book.

my fav canon compliant macdennis hc is that theyve been fucking the whole time but like only hand/mouth stuff (which is what theyre referencing in the gang solves the north korea problem) but theyre both (esp dennis) in denial abt it counting as sex so think theyre still just friends

and then thats also why in dennis' double life when dennis says they dont have sex that mac reacts like this 💀💀💀

jeff goldblum is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s jewish. nathan lane is the type of guy who gets mistaken for jewish because he’s gay. stanley tucci is the type of guy who gets mistaken for gay because he’s a mild-mannered italian, which is jewish. seth meyers gets mistaken for jewish because of everything about him. zachary levi gets mistaken for jewish because everyone wants him dead. tom cruise gets mistaken for gay because he is.

There are some points of tvl criticism I'm willing to debate and where I can very much see both sides (or even think the #haters are stretching it a little) but like. You cannot really deny that this season has shown a pattern of prioritizing white characters and their emotional journey over characters of color. On top of that, so many of the jokes are "punching down", starting with the pronoun joke in ep 1 followed by a continuous barrage of throw-away comments. And then, six episodes into a season with an all-white writers room, we have Claudia say "there's something etched in your ribs that says you're a slave". There's no reckoning with how horrifically racist this statement is, neither in the text nor the paratext. It's just sitting there, poisoning what otherwise could have been an incredible scene. Poisoning a season that felt like it was actually slowly finding its footing. It's white privilege to watch that scene and not feel, on some level, attacked by those racist words put in a Black actor's mouth by white writers. To not be haunted by the racist implications of "my bleak, black life." Before, a lot of the writing choices registered as thoughtless; at this point, it's hard to see them as anything but malicious.

incredibly sorry for the black writers and directors of the previous two seasons who thought they were building something. I am so sorry that your work was not respected and now dismissed by this new season. I am so sorry that the love and care with which you crafted the characters, especially of Louis and Claudia was so resented that the current writers' room chose to dilute all. I am so sorry that you are having to see the anti blackness in full force on a formerly black led show and everything you worked on- your vision- it was all wiped off. I am so sorry to Jacob and Delainey for having to work with those scripts.

This question has been asked many times of many people and has always been true.

"We played with this idea of, is she fully seeing through her own eyes what's happening and doesn't feel in control, or if it's kind of like teleportation where every time that she pops back in, it's from the moment that she popped back in before, which is why whenever she's in the house, she comes out and she's like, 'Wait, where am I?’ So we played with both of them, and now that I've watched the film back, I think that she does both. I think that in the very beginning, whenever she doesn't understand what's going on, she's teleporting, and once she realizes what's going on, Nikki’s a fighter, and so her urge to fight the wish just gets bigger and bigger and bigger, and that’s why she has the grief at the end, because she's watched it happen. She's felt it. She has to deal with it. It wasn't her fault. Her life has completely changed. And she just lets it all go." — Inde Navarrette (x)

Can you sleep with me tonight? Sleep? You mean sleeping next to each other? Of course. Sure. I mean having sex. You're actually kind of good-looking, the longer I look at you. I don’t know how to argue with that. [...] You’re acting like Lion right now. I’m sorry. Well, you can go. No one wants to stay with me anyway. If you want me to stay, I will.
