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.

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022–)

TVL Ep 4 Spoilers

Lestat’s fucked up relationship with his mom bleeding into the way he recounts the reunions between devil’s minion and even louis and claudia regina

First two seasons we had lestat referred to as “lover, murderer, maker” and “master” in regards to louis, but I don’t remember there being many parent and child comparisons between them…if there was, they didn’t do it often

At the end of season 2, daniel refers to armand as his maker. But in season 3, lestat constantly calls armand daniel’s father and in ep 4 during their reunion daniel calls them dad and son

And we even see this bleed a bit over into louis and regina, with louis mentioning her OnlyFans and regina asking if louis wants her to put on a yellow dress and sit in his lap as if it’s some weird fetish he has

And this is all lestat’s pov, so of course he’s still trying to normalize it and make it seem like all vampire bonds (and non vampire bonds) get hazy between parent/child and maker/fledgling and lovers

Except according to louis, lestat said it’s not as simple as choosing a new family configuration…which means gabriella and him always had a fucked up relationship (which we knew already from the wolf aftercare cleanup) and it’s clear lestat knows too but even after trying to give up explaining it in episode 2 he’s still trying to normalize it in episode 4 through his depiction of other relationships

-What are you doing here Armand? -I have been enduring intense conversation with myself...

[lioncourtz]

Where did I come from, and what am I supposed to be doing? I have no idea. My soul is from elsewhere, I'm sure of that, and I intend to end up there.

To my 25 - 35 year olds, you've reached the age where people around you are starting to give up on themselves because they think it's too late. Don't let that energy rub off on you. It's not too late.

I became a tattoo artist at 49.

Married the love of my life at 50.

Got my Class A CDL at 59.

You've got time.

As long as you're breathing, you've got time.

[resplendentgoldenwings]

I saw some people mention that this happens because folks are modeling their lives on previous generations. When life expectancy was lower for many and then when life expectancy got longer people weren't aging very well.

But it's a different era we have the kowledge to have longer better lives if we make the effort. It's not over babes.
