#rambling comments

My overactive brain's thoughts/comments/and mostly questions after that episode:

Ok but *why* do they pee? On the one hand I get it but on the other hand I need Fareed's academic paper on it.

Lestat's never done drugs before? Damn. That poison trauma is real.

The whole muses thing gave me hardcore Christmas Carol vibes.

No really, why didn't Louis give Lestat the head's up? Did he really think that was gonna work out?

Also that burning the records thing is absolutely badass performance art 10/10 no notes I would've bought it for 5 yuan just because.

Why is Armand so hot even with an eye patch and massive scarring?

Ok so if this after the BIG EVENT then that meant Louis and Armand are on better terms? Not a terrible reason to be on better terms.

Why is Louis rocking a cane again?

Why are Louis, Armand, and trifling ass Raglan the only ones at the auction?

So did the Y chromosome crisis really go that hard that Queen involved human males too? I wanna see wtf that fallout is.

No but where did Lestat get the scars? I'm guessing if he's always had them it's some wolfkiller shit but it could be something else.

This show really fooled me on who he was texting and I'm here for it because it necessitates a rewatch especially because we can go on and on about Lestat being into people who are emotionally withdrawn. But the moment Lestat said "ma chere" I was like oh ok that's mama. Booyah knowing French.

If you are gonna boff your mama turned fledgling, doing it in a seedy motel is apt.

Daniel calling Lestat Cuntessa had me stopping the episode to laugh for a minute.

Ok so blood hookah? Why is Daniel sucking on a whole ass thing for blood? I mean oral fixation vibes apart.

Daniel really said 'I have renewed energy to get my ego to be as massive as humanly possible' with that Cannes and Oscar comment. And vampiric nepotism. Good. I like him like this. Lol.

Lestat read his ass on that whole 'transitional trauma' and sr baby can deny it but you relapsed you fuckass.

It not being in a solid order is both jarring and makes total sense.

Ok but good on Baby Jenks having the cojones to get on stage. And what a bachelorette party to go Love In An Elevator with two or three hot people.

Who the hell do these fuckass rando vampires think they are?

Why did I gasp when I saw Sam's face? I knew it was him.

Why did the Talamasca put Sam in the Theatres des Vampires? I mean I know why for the Talamasca but why Sam specifically? Where did he come from? How was he turned?

Pop off Nepofledgling Daniel cutting head's off and helping save Lestat's bacon. Always knew he was gonna be well suited to this type of thing. "You're doing amazing, sweetie."

The guy who got the Armand tattoo couldn't have made it more stylish? No? The guy from the SDCC teaser of ye olden times had a classier one.

Did the band really not suspect Lestat is a vampire? Really? Were they drop kicked in the head as babies or are they just super genre unaware?

I like Dee. Good for her having her calming down mantras. Also the makeup is on point.

That being said, I would never call Daniel 'papi' even if I offered myself as his drug biscuit because Spanish is my mother tongue and if I did call him that I'd be going down the rabbit hole of a daddy issues complex I don't want. But good for them.

Christine is not paid enough. Really.

Lestat and Gabi doing it in that motel is probably not in the top 10 of nightmares that room has seen.

Thoughts about Boruto 82

Boruto

Half the chapter is just Boruto and Code going "I'm gonna kill you." "Nuh-UH, I'm gonna kill YOU." I do think Boruto's going to win, because Code believes he's Kawaki, who...did not do well last time they fought.

Boruto is talking like he had a trip to the future and saw a really bad timeline. I'm not sure how that would be possible, but the anime did show Otsutsuki had time-travel technology, so who the heck knows.

Ten-Tails Clones

I do really like how the clones are using Code's abilities tactically. That's a nice departure from the Zetsu.

I was wondering why the clones kept trying to bite people with their nubby human teeth, especially when they have those giant claws on their feet. But it turns out they are tree vampires - instead of turning you into the undead, their bite turns you into a tree.

Team 10

Shikadai is MVP this chapter. Although Chocho is also really badass. Inojin though...honestly, this bit with him calling Chocho chubby and her getting offended was old the first time the manga did it. This is why it took me so long to warm up to Inojin.

That said, him being so protective of Himawari is really sweet. Maybe it's just me, but it feels like the manga is really pushing Inojin x Himawari ship.

Himawari

Given how she was training earlier, I hope Himawari gets to do SOMETHING in this fight besides stand on the sidelines looking worried.

That said, the sky scene was unintentionally hilarious. The clone destroys Inojin's mount, and Himawari rolls off and plummets through the air. But instead of screaming or trying to fight the clone, she just gets a blank look on her face and goes "Oh!". Like she realized her sandal buckle snapped instead of the fact that she was facing a life-or-death situation. This girl is truly unflappable.

Sarada

Her design looks really good this chapter. I'm glad she got some badass moments.

I also liked when that guy asks "are you really just a genin?" and Sarada stares at him like he's asked the dumbest question in the world. Her rank really doesn't matter right now. What matters is that the dumb-question dude is about to be attacked by tree vampires and turn into driftwood.

Kawaki

On one hand, he needs to be nicer to Himawari. On the other hand, I can see why Himawari calling him the same thing she used to call Boruto would set off a few trauma buttons. You get what you wish for...literally.

Mid-season finale I don't know how to feel about you. I mean, all the mixed emotions. And Sophia dammit. And is the rest of the season going to be a Rick vs. Shane leadership thing?
