Where do our boys stand in a potential vampire civil war?
This is part 2 of my Akasha vs Amel theory... 🔗: part 1
We all know Lestat is Akasha's designated prince consort. But he's also gonna carry Amel someday... Double agent, non? 😎 Bonus question: who do you think chose him first, Akasha or Amel?
Armand has already declared himself against the great conversion. So wouldn't his canon penchant for culling fledgling vamps make him the natural choice to become Amel's enforcer?
I think the show has given Roshamandes' pl arc to Armand... rip great-grand-papa Rosh🫗
It certainly fits with Lestat's comment about Armand causing more harm than Akasha. And if you need more convincing, just look at their names... 🤔 (It's actually one of the few things I dislike about this adaptation. They keep making the world of tvc smaller and more pedestrian. Wdym 500 is considered ancient now? I'll have the 5000yo sea farer from the bronze age pls!)
Louis couldn't care less about which side wins. He just can't let Akasha keep Lestat. 😡 He's in his luxury bdsm torture chamber, sharpening his favorite machete as we speak.
And here are my predictions for the next 3 seasons - according to my 🔮
(possible spoilers for seasons 4-6 & book spoilers for qotd, Memnoch, Prince Lestat ahead...)
Previously bts/unseen on season 3:
Lestat's music has already awakened Akasha. She might have been accelerating the great conversion through the Talamasca and Gabriella ever since. But she's still physically confined to where Marius keeps her atm.
3x07 After freeing herself she kidnaps rescues Lestat from whatever horror show Daniel & Armand have cooked up. The gremlin might lose a little something here. 👀
Season 4: qotd + vampire civil war
Random vamp/coven burnings all over the world -> Akasha's doing her thing, Lestat's her press secretary -> Armand has mysterious blackouts, intercut with past dm -> Louis is trying to get to Lestat, but has some choice words with Gabriella first (yep definitely just words 🔥) -> meanwhile open coven/gang wars, since nobody knows who's behind the burnings -> is it our favorite pyromaniac? (if you've paid attention above, the answer's no, but we don't know that YET) -> everyone has jungle forest dreams + flashes of vampiric origin story -> the children of millennia converge -> Maharet initiates human-vampire peace talks -> flashbacks from ancient times to modernity, of vampire lore intersecting with human history (i.e. the great family, the Talamasca) -> finale: Akasha is killed, Mekare's the new qotd
Season 5: totbt + Amel
Loustat & the body thief shenanigans (Louis I-killed-agent-david-talbot du Lac has to step up now, right?) -> 🔥situation is still ongoing, it's now revealed that Amel was puppeteering RoshArmand this whole time -> Lestat after getting his body back offers himself as the new vessel (bc he's more fun than Mekare and Armand combined 😁) -> but once he hosts Amel he goes into exile instead, where he records 'the failures' for Louis (remember: everything he does, he does for Louis + he's expecting to stay in exile for all eternity now. So how else is he gonna finally open up to Louis? But he has to do it secretly without Amel finding out just how important Louis is to him 🥺) -> et voilà full circle: the auction
If season 6 happens: Memnoch + Prince Lestat
Memnoch's a huge maybe - might get skipped and we go straight to vampire court. But I'm kinda leaning towards running both plots concurrently:
Lestat dissociates with Memnoch (ghostdia might be the bait), while Louis gets kidnapped (yeah you know by who... 😈). Well if Louis's in danger, then Lestat HAS to come out of his exile/Memnoch induced coma, right? -> welcome back @vampirecourtAuvergne.fr
Now after what dm just pulled in 3x06, I really need that Prince Lestat scene where RoshArmand meets the sharp edge of that cunty little bejeweled 🪓🙃 asap! And 1) no, one eye isn't gonna cut it! 2) that's only poetic justice for the beheadings. 3) I haven't found a punishment befitting the crime that was the revenge porn yet. Any suggestions?
...Oh have I forgotten to include present day Daniel? No, I haven't. He's in protective custody (cough:housearrest) in Marius' basement and playing with model trains. He'll stay there until his baby-vamp 🙃 gets fully screwed back on, bc Akasha ripped it right off when she came to fetch Lestat.
I dunno if there are still people in this fandom, but…
I’ve been rewatching Supernoobs and riding a major nostalgia wave, haha. The show definitely hits different than it did when I was 12!
Anyway, I wanna throw my hat into the fandom ring with some headcanons about the noobs playing dnd (something else that’s on my mind lately, haha):
Tyler: Forever stuck as the DM. The poor guy’s carefully prepped campaigns are usually completely thrown aside by the others’ hijinks. If he does get to play, he’s usually a paladin or cleric because hey, someone on this team needs to be a healer.
Shope: Usually a wizard. Keeps lots of notes about NPCs, quests, etc., but winds up forgetting important details anyway. Loves puzzles in dungeons
Kevin: Probably a fighter, but if he were some kind of spellcaster, he would absolutely try to get Tyler to let him do stupid magic shenanigans (“No, Kevin, you can’t put Mage Hand inside the dragon’s mouth”).
Roach: (Jokingly) banned from playing after tricking Tyler into letting him play as Shrek. Also runs chaotic one-shots from time to time.
Mem: Bard. Don’t ask me why. Just bard.
Zen: Artificer, because it’s the closest he’ll get to wielding blasters. He still doesn’t “get” the game but he joins in because he likes killing the monsters.
