Bruce? You don't kill like a Bruce. — What do I kill like?

[gjorr]

I can get behind most of the changes in IWTV & TVL as tv adaptations but good lord I absolutely loathe (and I mean from the bottom of my heart loathe) Claudia’s sexual assault. I hated it in seasons 1 and 2 of Interview with the vampire and I hate it just as much in The vampire Lestat.

I can’t fathom the writers’ idea to take book Claudia, age her up and have her get raped (attacked, kidnaped and raped for a week straight btw) just so that they could parallel that experience & trauma with Lestat and Magnus. At today’s day and age I think we’ve reached a point where our female characters don’t have to get sexually assaulted in order to toughen up or even worse having them get assaulted so that the writers can use that assault to further develop the arc of a male character(s).

And no, I don’t care about how cinematic Lestat’s backstory combined with Claudia’s own words about Bruce seemed or that Louis had his hot girl moment while killing his daughter’s rapist. And while the intention of the writers might not have been misogynistic, it is still an extremely misogynistic trope.

Thinking so long and hard about how Claudia's diary pages were used to burn her alive. Then her pages being used to burn Bruce alive as well.

Something something both Magnus and Bruce died in fire something something rapists getting killed but the damage is already done and nothing can fix that something something

i find the whole fang gang 'armand told the truth' thing sooo fucking funny because yeah its almost certainly about the coven system and the great conversion and whatever but i really wanna believe that it's about the trial and they're actually diehard loumanders

bruce, reading a novel that goes into extreme detail on how he traumatized and nearly ruined the life of a dead girl: "omggggg they're literally character assassinating armand just to ruin my otp & push the author's CLEAR favourite white man, i should start a cult about this"
