not to make snap judgments about a show i havent seen yet based only on trailers but the most recent iwtv trailer really has me asking some questions here like i personally have thought for a while too much literal focus on the rock star plot feels like its missing the forest for the trees that the reason the concept has had such a hold on people is like its such a dizzying concept that seems so fun but i think is quite empty underneath its like more a series of images and ideas that reflect back our idea of celebrity and the idea of the vampire that i think when looked at too deeply fall apart like a house of cards but now finding out theyre gonna make them like a failing touring band with a couple thousand fans rather than an international sensation feels even more baffling to me like what even is here and not making it an 80s period piece also feels ill advised i think our modern celebrity culture is an odd fit for this anyways but anyways i think making vampire whos a rock star too concrete and not simply a series of evocative images and ideas ala velvet goldmine a film that understands appearances and outward expressions to almost supersede reality which to me is the only worthwhile approach to something so excessive and ridiculous as a vampire rock star and i think the more i find out the more it loses me on this … and like to do all this and ignore paris all for bad music too???

unable to be normal converse well with people and be interesting after years of my social skills falling into disuse because of barely interacting with people my age and isolating myself at home all while making an earnest attempt at connection is seen as the weirdest thing one could possibly do nowadays

the difference between lestat and armands interactions w pop culture is lestat was a guest judge on an ep of rupauls drag race and armand has been a close personal friend of rupauls for the past forty years and is involved in the fracking

rolin saying the fans will never think they're boring i'm sorry to say you're a little late for that the way nothing so far has looked like it's taking a big enough risk in how it presents the story or interacts with itself and connects the significant things that happen across time to each other when the way stories are told is literally supposedly the point of the show. season two had the biggest opportunity to rise to the occasion here but they completely squandered it. now we're simply nitpicking small misremembered or obfuscated details which apparently warrants endless flashbacks to the exact same scenes that have played out in louis' narration or claudia’s diaries rather than offering anything new to bring lestat's perspective or character into focus and preserve louis and claudia’s characterizations (or credibility if they try to hint at lestat being more reliable than either of them). the show making a tonal shift is laying bare the issues its had with understanding what exactly it is or what it wants to be. and of course lestat's rockstar persona. meaningless. completely inert. it's incredibly clear that they're out of their depth here they absolutely do not have a finger on the pulse of modern culture and nothing about how they've characterized the vampires in this day and age is interesting. the music is downright horrible the aesthetics even apart from the rockstar stuff are woefully uninspired and yet the creators think their show is going to heights of camp the likes of which no one has ever seen before. well that's not only wrong but you actually need balls to do that. i am not expecting much at this point and have no standards to hold them to except for something truly good to be done with ghost claudia and additionally i am looking forward to paris being explored but it is bleak to me.

urgent help!

as you guys know my grandparents got scammed almost a month ago, some man told them he was going to send them medical equipment they needed for $500 dollars, we were desperate, not only they lost all the money they had, my grandpa has gotten significantly worse, he's starting to lose vision in his good eye and my grandma is losing mobility as well (evidence), I know I sound annoying always coming here and begging for money for my grandparents and for my college, I don't know how to anticipate the grief, losing my grandpa everyday to his illness, losing my college education cause I can't afford it, in México the situation it's just getting worse and even though I feel lonely I have found a community here and I'm forever grateful for that, even a dollar goes a long way and all the money will go to their medical needs since I'm very sure I won't be able to cover college expenses, please share and donate if you can, you can help via p*ypal or any way you want through ko-fi, here's the link! 💕 thank you sm
