the way the 1x01 dinner scene auvergne recount has more meaningful stuff about auvergne!lestat than season three

#AND GOOD GABSTAT STUFF!! 1x01 that's it. ignore the rest #when i watched that i became so stoked to see the flashbacks in s3.....little did i know.#tvl critical #amc iwtv #iwtvc #lestat de lioncourt #tvl spoilers

"even the marquis stayed home" okay so we're committing FULLY to making gabriella look worse than the marquis. step one invent new awful things for her to do (she did NOT take him to the witches' place in the book btw! quite the opposite! and there were no actual burnings when he was there!! NONE OF IT!!!) step two make her look eviler and more vile for it to her son than his and her shared abuser, their patriarch the marquis (who's suddenly what, nice now?), something which lestat and gabriellE understood well about each other despite everything in the vampire lestat 1985 by anne rice which this thing is ostensibly an adaptation of AND YET!

#tvl spoilers #tvl critical #gabrielle de lioncourt #amc tvl #iwtvc #i hadn't heard about this one before. blood fucking boiling #mine own post #anyway 2nd half of the ep later. i can't take this shit anymore......

why does it feel like in promos/interviews the tvl cast were talking mostly about a different (for the most part better) version of s3 in their heads which they collectively decided was the real one they were acting in

#tvl critical #amc iwtv #iwtvc #mine own post #this is mostly a joke but LIKE.....#the armandnuance and lesmand and dm discussed yet in the actual season there has been such Nothing on those fronts?!#and well. everything i have heard about the finale doesn't give me much hope either #although i do want to watch it myself just to make up my own mind. be it torturous or no

Lestat and Armand in TVL, Epilogue: Interview with the Vampire (2). [ID in alt.]

Lestat on Armand in TVL, Epilogue: Interview with the Vampire (2), one (1) page on from the previous passage. [ID in alt.]

#a timely reminder given well. recent events.....#anyway i'm hoping for bait and switch from the show on that front but if they fuck up lesmand i'm almost certainly out i fear #hope we don't forget: the adaptation is of TVL therefore this scene should be in there. at least spiritually #AND THIS WAS POST TRIAL BTW. CAN I STRESS THIS!!#would do the gabimandstat tower passage also but too long.....#lesmand #the vampire armand #tvc #iwtvc #amc iwtv #tvl spoilers #<- in reference to these <3 #mine own post #and also this is the same book where lestat says to armand in les innocents:#“i never lie[...]at least not to those i don't love”. which while i don't fully believe as a statement like.#if LESTAT believes this of himself then the above passages are SUCH a statement.#anyway remember. we will always have this <333

the rings on lestat's hands and the fact that he wears so many and so often keep reminding me of armand and how i don't think he (FAMOUS ringwearer) has worn a single ring in the show yet

#such a small thing to be hung up on but it's like the last straw to me in a way. show me armand in RINGS!! at least give me this!#amc iwtv #tvl spoilers #<- sooo obliquely but still #lestat de lioncourt #the vampire armand #iwtvc #mine own post

strange and disturbing violence? ✅

introspection and examining one's life? ✅

confusing cross-over elements and tie-ins? ✅

staggeringly awful racism, antisemitism, islamophobia etc? ✅

developments that don't agree with previously established lore? ✅

entirely baffling theological elements? ✅

congratulations to amc's "anne rice's" the vampire lestat on perfectly recreating the experience of reading a vampire chronicles book but without any of the fun prose or thematic coherence or good characterisation or focus on relationships and emotions or underlying polyamory or even just any fucking plot. GOOD RIDDANCE.

#amc tvl #tvl critical #tvl spoilers #<- obliquely #mine own post #iwtvc #like i'm done i'm so done. amplify every flaw of the source text. shit on every single one of its good elements. adapt exactly NOTHING #....the theological elements one feels bad because like. it was botched it was so botched. neither religion nor philosophy #as undeniably important themes in tvc (for good or for ill) were handled with care or earnestness or willingness to engage #like genuinely fuck this.#(i will be letting the haterism out for a bit longer....and maybe writing a fixit if enough inspiration. but i can't bring myself to care #about the future of this at all. it was a good two seasons but this is the end)

Her letters were brimming with happiness at my good fortune, and she promised to go to Italy in the spring if only she could get the strength to do it. Right now she wanted books from Paris, of course, and newspapers, and keyboard music for the harpsichord I'd sent. And she had to know, Was I truly happy? Had I fulfilled my dreams? She was leery of wealth. I had been so happy at Renaud's. I must confide in her. It was agony to hear these words read to me. Time to become a liar in earnest, which I had never been. But for her I would do it.

Lestat on what Gabrielle said in her letters to him a little while after he was turned. The Vampire Lestat (Anne Rice, 1985) | Part 2, Chapter 10

#GOD. CAN I EXPLODEEEE #the fact that it's clear they were writing each other letters even if through the letter writers.....the fact that gabrielle was waiting?!!#like genuinely. no amount of things he gives to his loved ones will replace his own presence in their lives #and then the way things end with gabs and nicki is probably enough to convince him (or anyone really) that him being there is Worse #then there's also the “i must confide in her”.....“for her i would do it [become a liar]” GOD. who is doing it like them #tvl the book that you are (and this is a reread i KNOW this happens and YET). stunned #iwtvc #gabrielle de lioncourt #lestat de lioncourt #gabstat #tvc #mine own post

who else would understand but him? [<- ao3 link]

“Do you know why you are here, Lestat?” To participate in Fareed’s experiment? I replied. Rude of him not to ask me himself, I’d have done it no questions if I’d known beforehand. Armand laughed slightly, sweet and maybe a little mad, then said: “You’re here because it’s your turn.” I said nothing. “Your turn,” he went on, “to make amends.”

beheading (lesmand version) fic is here!! (all other loumandstat pairings and loumandstat itself are there in some way, shape or form as well <3) details on the AU in the author's notes, hope you enjoy!
