I know it's stupid and I shouldn't pay attention to those people but it pains me to see so many declaring they won't be watching this season out of spite. They're trying so hard to avenge Jacob or whatever but low ratings can lead to cancellation which will impact everyone on the show. I'm scared that we'll lose something as unique as this show because of petty assholes.

One of the realities of fandom is that no one still talking about it on social media is going to stop watching it, anon, if they were, we wouldn’t still be hearing from them, and the odds are a lot of them weren’t watching it legally and contributing to viewing numbers in the first place anyway. I wouldn’t worry, I think people are hyped, it’s got great traction, and it’s going to do good numbers ☺️

Can you please add a cw rape tag to your posts with Gabrielle x Lestat where they are kissing or having sex? Thank you for the cw incest tag but she is raping him and that is important to warn for

I can and will, anon, sorry about that. I'll back tag the ones from today now 💛

A stunt queen, but also one literally begging to be collared or strangled apparently this season.

i think he's handling things really well.

AGHH that one shot of Magnus slashing his throat and its juxtaposition with Louis slitting lestat’s throat. I need a rewatch cause I feel like a lot of the narration ties in really well with the visual parallels. Just having these bits flashing through Lestat’s mind, just so fascinating. This ep felt erratic in the best way. Can’t wait for the next one, I’m sure things will settle when we get used to this particular way of storytelling (which is SO on brand for lestat, I can’ttt)

I was really hoping they'd keep the fact that Magnus basically waterboards Lestat into vampirism by slashing his throat over Lestat's unwilling mouth, and I'm really glad it seems like we might get that too!! I hadn't really considered it in contrasting with Louis slitting Lestat's throat, but you're right that it makes for a super fascinating parallel (or perhaps, rather a juxtaposition, than a parallel), It's going to be super interesting to see how the show plays it, especially as cornerstones of his two deaths!

And yes!! I actually really loved the chaos of it, especially because in the episode, nothing felt extraneous at all. Deliberate and intentional chaos is so hard to write, and I really do think they pulled it off, which is incredible, especially given it's so essential to Lestat's character! I can't believe we have to wait a week for the next ep, although I know it'll be here before we know it, haha.

WHAT THE FUCK

This is going to sound insane probably, haha, but I'm lowkey really pleased about this - Magnus has no teeth except his vampiric fangs in the book, and I always thought there was a really profound metaphor there from Anne in having someone who appeared toothless be one of the most violent predators of all, and while I didn't think it was a disservice necessarily to not feature that in some way in the adaptation, playing it like this, where his teeth are weak and rotten apart from his fangs carries that horrific metaphoric intent in a way that just really, really works for me.
