My mom used to say "I ain't gotta do nothin', but be Black and die." I always loved the defiant spirit of it, but it's only as an adul9t that I truly understand it.

I'm dying at Lestat and Claudia's synchronized horror faces at Louis' AUDACITY of saying that, lmao

Please, people said she was harsh with Louis? Book!Claudia told him to kill himself and actually stabbed him. She was nice.

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 3.06 'Montreal'

[sugarcarnation]

louis going out of his way to drink lestats blood after learning about his relationship to gabriella is actually so important because it’s his way of showing lestat that despite what louis said earlier he is not disgusted by him. he still loves him, he still wants him and he wants to share his blood with him (something which according to lestat is more intimate than having sex)

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 03.06 | "Montreal" preview

[wisteria-lodge]

One thing I'm really loving about the perspective shift between Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat is how Lestat and Louis appear in each other's narratives, through each other's eyes.

Louis sees Lestat as this primal force of nature who looks like a romance novel hero, can effortlessly control any room, is "preternaturally charming," impeccably turned out, no one can say no to him for long.

but we get in LESTAT'S head, and suddenly he has scars and a tangled mane of hair, people are constantly talking over him, he sweats, he's getting beat up and his clothes are getting destroyed in a non-sexy way, he's flailing around wildly with NO idea what he's doing, people (lestat included) think he's untalented and annoying.

And LOUIS, well. Louis clearly sees himself as uncanny, reserved, compelling but a little off-putting. He is other: cut-off from humanity, holding his emotions and relationships at arm's length.

Then we see him in The Vampire Lestat, and it's like no. This is the warmest, cutest, sexiest, coolest, most capable and most desirable man who has ever walked the face of the earth.

THE VAMPIRE LESTAT 03.06 | "Montreal"

[resplendentgoldenwings]

You genuinely think that little Black girl should have killed herself after getting turned against her will? Jesus Christ, forget these fictional vampires, YOU’RE cruel and evil in real life. Posting that people in bad circumstances should kill themselves rather than hurt others (about a show where the humans are almost all bad too, for that matter) doesn’t make you virtuous or even good at following the meaning of the story. Your dumb self-righteous ass can’t even distinguish human and vampire morality (they are two separate things) in a fictional setting. You’re cruel. You’re miserably cruel. If this is how you act about fiction it’s inevitably going to bleed out into how you talk about reality and people will notice and judge you accordingly.

Don’t kill yourself. I want you to have a long life that eventually makes you realize what a stuck up piece of shit you are.

The fuck is wrong with you? It's the only honorable thing in any form of vampire media. Get your shit together, jack ass!

#ideal dynamic Louis and Lestat in Interview With the Vampire 3.06

[resplendentgoldenwings]

I've declared my hate for Armand so passionately these last few years it kinda hurts to admit I've loved every moment of his screen time this season and every gremlin thing that he's done.

[dorkysunflower219]

Armand telling how he watched Daniel approach his daughter uninvited and she told him to fuck off, and then in the next episode Louis and Lestat summon their unwilling daughter’s spirit and she tells them to fuck off

[texasbama]

just two idiots obsessed with each other

[resplendentgoldenwings]

Claudia was a serial killer taking trophies and she applauded humans getting killed and tortured on stage before a live audience. Louis was a whole gay plague in San Francisco. Armand paid people so he could hunt them before killing them. Daniel has thrown himself in full force. And I don't think I need to list the fuck shit Lestat has done.

They literally live as parasites on humanity and none of them have actually chosen the honorable thing which is self-immolation, because they're monsters.

They're going to keep doing monstrous shit to the humans they encounter, their fellow vampires and themselves. Because they're monsters.

None of them are good. None of them are morally superior to the others. This show is not concerned with whose a goody-goody gum drops. It's concerned with who is being the worst today and why? And each is going to get their turn. That's it and you'll get so much more out of it if you stop trying to be on a moral high horse and get down here in the muck with the rest of us.

P.S. Claudia was a villain before Delainey Hayles and Bailey Bass were a glimmer in their mothers' eyes. If you're looking for morally pure black representation find a different show.
