Inside The Vampire Lestat’s Brilliant Production Design

Blood farms and custom guitars: TVL production designer Andres Cubillan shares insights into the season’s most memorable setpieces.

As Lestat’s childhood flashbacks move through his adolescence to young adulthood, we’re given hint after hint that the family has fallen on hard times, mirrored by his father’s increasing infirmity, and the rest of his family succumbing to various illnesses. “We see less staff in the house,” production designer Andres Cubillan explains. “We see the food getting simpler. Even the china on the table. We go from a very sort of elaborate multi-piece setting, you know, crystal glassware, silverware, and that starts getting reduced. So you start feeling like they’re really impoverished in their sort of ridiculous aristocracy.”

“They’re not going to give [Lestat] some large bedroom. It’s going to be sort of awkward in size. I’ve spoken about the tile floor and the fact that it’s a material that would have been used for servants’ quarters or kitchens.” Lestat is a second-class citizen in his own home, and the images decorating his walls make a further statement about the violent undercurrents of his childhood. “The mural work on the walls, it was a play on the tropes of little boys’ rooms—the trains and the boats, and that heteronormative ideal for a little boys’ room in that era.” But instead of boats or scenes of boyhood adventures, Lestat’s bed is surrounded by “images of war and massacres and conquests,” creating a nightmarish backdrop to the only private space he has in the house.

there is nothing a corporation hates more than having employees, but a close second is having to provide a good or service in order to make money. these two reasons concisely explain is why the ai bubble formed in the first place.

Migraine sufferers will be like "it's not like I'm disabled or anything, it's just that if I do any of these normal everyday things other people do all the time, my head explodes. But I'm fine honestly, as long as I avoid doing anything ever and my environment and the weather never changes, then my head explodes a little less"

there's nothing that turns me away from reading a fic more than the author being disparaging about their own work in the tags/summary

#dont read this

#this is my first ever fic #im so sorry #its so bad

#author doesn't know how to write

etc

like, it sounded exactly like my jam but okay, never mind. there's a difference between joking at your own expense or being nervous and just being self-defeating

listen I’m so glad you all are having fun with the dragon incest show, but I need you to understand that from the outside all I see is approximately 14 posts per day of people in truly horrific wigs with captions like “baegael did nothing wrong except all the murders”

The magic of childhood is that you were constantly encountering new things. The best way to feel that way again is to fill your life with new experiences.

I wish AI would stop making so many animal story posts. I LOVE animals and they are ruining the loving-animals ecosystem. And also the real ecosystem

I think that now I’m one of those evil people in the movies that thinks an AI can’t be a person. I’m the guy saying that your robot girlfriend isn’t real. They’re gonna kill me during the matrix wars.

the ideal chai latte is one of the most amazing things on this earth. it’s a shame that most cafes think they have to serve either a cup of grit or milk that they whispered the names of spices to
