filled with the ldpdl urge to start shit with my ex

Sigh… I.. I think I understand and dareisay slightly relate to Lestat de Lioncourt

(Whole rant under cut)

So, I’ve been reading tvl recently and first of all I love Nicki so much all their scenes together are so chefs kiss, I really hope we explore more Nicki and just general Lestat Paris flashbacks in season 4 since he won’t be deflecting Daniel anymore.

Other side note I thought I would love the iwtv book because Claudia is my fave character, I’ve never minded the campy 90s movie, and I ADORE SEASON ONE AND TWO WITH MY WHOLE BEING. And I LOVE LOUIS!!!!!

But yeah I had a hard time with it. Book Louis is. Ugh he’s just kinda bleh. I digress

This whole section of the book where Lestat and Nicki go to Paris, and the section of Lestat’s turning and fledging era is just so good.

A lot about Lestat especially post turning is very neurodivergent and like we been knew but since the book is an extended period of his narration it’s so clear and a lot of it is really beautiful (and devastatingly a bit relatable)

Something something his vampire face being a mask that telegraphs his emotions really obviously

But ALSO

I finally understand vampires

I mean like, from a literary, historical standpoint I’ve understood them for years, I love vampires and am perfectly familiar with their stories connection to desire as well as cautionary tales etc etc and I get what makes the concept of becoming a vampire appealing

But I have NEVER been the type of person to wish I were a vampire. I’ve always found the cons greatly outweigh the pros, and because of the history of modern vampire literature it seems like that’s kind of the whole point.

But like this book made me finally understand it. Like kind of want it. Like what I finally understand is that it’s a power fantasy. Which again from an analyzing vampires standpoint WE BEEN KNEW. In amc’s iwtv alone they explore this very explicitly for many characters.

But just the way Lestat described himself on the chapters where he’s a fledging, the sense of freedom, and like how the kills effect him. I- I get it. I finally get it. Like the show adaptation explicitly says, it gives power to people who had it kind of taken from them by society or other forces.

And also it makes you grotesque and not human and yadayada.

And his turning was really fucked up. And the rest of his immortal life will be full of suffering. But like in his fledging days there really is a strong appeal here

I’ve totally lost my train of thought and didn’t say half of what I meant to but oh well

You get it

Omfg I just found that atrocious IWTV character outfit headcanons post I mentioned a while ago. The one where they said Louis would wear old and tattered thrift store clothes:

And they posted this in December 2025 mind you aka two months after the s3 extended look came out and we saw a couple of Louis' present-day outfits.

I know I'm probably coming off as dramatic here but I'm just baffled. Louis is rich as hell, wtf would he settle for thrift store clothes???

Anyway, thankfully I came across this other actually good headcanon post that helped cleanse my pallet:

[whichgreathousewouldtheybepartof]

If Louis de Pointe du Lac (Interview with the Vampire AMC) was in Game of Thrones / A Song of Ice and Fire and was the ruler of the Seven Kingdoms, how would he fare?

Competent ruler / loved by the nobility / loved by the smallfolk

Competent ruler / loved by the nobility / hated by the smallfolk

Competent ruler / hated by the nobility / loved by the smallfolk

Competent ruler / hated by the nobility / hated by the smallfolk

Incompetent ruler / loved by the nobility / loved by the smallfolk

Incompetent ruler / loved by the nobility / hated by the smallfolk

Incompetent ruler / hated by the nobility / loved by the smallfolk

i am doing the lord’s work by recommending iwtv/tvl to any soul that walks

but how can someone watch the pilot episode full of beautiful quotes and gorgeous storytelling and not be drawn in. Like you simply cannot tell me you are not compelled to click next episode!

“be all the beautiful things you are and be them without apology”

“i laid down with the devil and he has his roots in me”

the implications of the last sunset louis ever saw being with paul, the monologue from JA, the budding romance of loustat ahh

[monathedefiant]

not louis drooling for lestat blood before he even puts it in his beer 😭😭 girl control it

[sinisterxsiren]

the way the smile doesn’t even reach his eyes as he says “the love of my life” as the memory of sobbing over the corpse of his dead husband assaults him moments ago put ME in my coffin oh saint louis

[notshrinkingviolette]

Perfect. That's my gremlin. Right there.

And it really did fuck with his head.
