interview with the vampire tweet round up 143/xxx

[autarkiia]

something something the inherent exploitation of the vampire capitalist something something Louis sharing Claudia's personal diaries in a memoir about his own guilt knowing once it's out there he has no control over what people do with it something something Louis owning 45% of merch profits from Lestat's "call for help" rockstar escapades, profiting off the book by investing in vampire themed property and media something something pimping out women from broken homes something something the value of pain is how much you can profit from it

"i understood my maker. if i had seen 19 straight performances of my lélio, i would have abandoned all decorum too." a line that made my skin crawl. lestat tries to put the blame on himself by framing magnus's stalking of him as something he tempted magnus into doing (even though lestat knows that that's not true), inviting objectification of himself by the mere fact that he's an actor in a theater. cue to his father calling the performers of commedia dell'arte whores and whoremasters. lestat attempting to frame himself as a whore presenting himself like an offering, and magnus as someone that just couldn't help himself but accept that offer.

and this is also something that armand does with the harlequin lestat fanfiction. give lestat the role of the cunning mastermind that acts a fool and frame the performance as an invitation to sexualize the performer, frame lestat as a seductress that wants to be sexualized, so then he can't blame anyone for taking the bait.

making it look like he was asking for it, asking for stalking and objectification and sexual assault when he made the choice to become a performer, when he never had and never will

In my mind I was praying fiercely, God help me, the Virgin Mary help me, help me, help me, as I peered up into his face. - The Vampire Lestat

[those-fucking-feratu]

fuck, man, that was a tough watch. best episode so far but holy shit i feel like a wrung out dish towel. the tonal whiplash from the “your biggest fan” music video to gabriella with lestat’s double to the reveal that the interview session was a hallucination to the parallel reading of claudia’s diary entry and lestat’s assault by magnus to the quiet tragedy of lestat’s performance as each character seems to wallow in their own loneliness in different ways. this is the true voice of the show, and it’s fucking incredible.

that splinter of coldness in daniel was really on display this episode... im obsessed

How to use Em Dash (—) and Semi Colon ( ; )

Since the ai accusations are still being thrown around, here's how i personally like to use these GASP ai telltales. 🦄✨

Em Dashes (—)

To emphasize a shift / action / thought.

They're accusing us—actually accusing us—of using AI.

To add drama.

They dismissed our skills as AI—didn't even think twice, the dimwits—and believed they were onto something.

To insert a sudden thought. Surely they wouldn't do that to us—would they?

To interrupt someone's speech. "Hey, please don't say that. I honed my craft through years of blood and tears—" "Shut up, prompter."

To interrupt someone's thoughts / insert a sudden event.

We're going to get those kudos. We're going to get those reblogs—

A chronically online Steve commented, “it sounds like ai, idk.”

Semi Colons ( ; )

To join two closely related independent sentences / connect ideas.

Not only ChatGPT is capable of correct punctuation; who do you think it learned from in the first place?

Ultimate pro tip: use them whenever the fudge you want. You don't owe anyone your creative process. 🌈
