GOD DAMN THESE VAMPIRES!

Free Palestine - she/they

daniel talking to louis: anytime i put drugs up my ass in the 80s i got so high off my gourd i dreamt of ghouls and goblins for a decade that's literally all i remember

louis: huh that's how drinking lestat blood's felt like as a human how peculiar armand pretending to be rashid in a lowcut across from them fully knowing in reality daniel was lovingly motorboating his tits in their private island in between doing blood-cocaine off his pristine vampire asscrack and having such extreme levels of cirque du soleil sex that it caused daniel's early hip replacement: does the old man want another martini

there’s a world where tvl had goth music and gnc gabrielle and onscreen wolves and the french revolution and nickistat discussions of good & evil and magnus's white supremacist beliefs and armand chopping off nicki's hands and lesmand incestuous brothers who hate each other and dm slowburn with flashbacks and a proper exploration of louis's grief and real loustat conflict and a meaningful revisit of the trial and lestat taking accountability for his actions and akasha waking up and the talamasca doing literally anything at all and a framing structure that made sense AND lestat serving rockstar cunt but in a thematically appropriate way. and that world is so beautiful

ASSAD ZAMAN as THE VAMPIRE ARMAND Interview with the Vampire

[ihateornithologists]

(nine inch nails hurt)

note: i started drawing this before s3 so obviously no s3 events are included (and honestly idgaf)

based on a friend's comment on one of my older posts hhskskj i accidentally quoted this song and then decided i should do it not accidentally..

been thinking alot about TVL book vs. the show. need to find peace by remembering that the book still exists, this weird abridged QOD adaptation is it's own thing, with pieces i can appreciate on their own.

still, i'm missing the following in particular: lesmand cinderella scene, lesmand bath scene, real gabriELLE, lestat leaving nikki to the armand torture complex (and the parallel that sets up with louis), armand destroying nikki's apartment, nikki admitting that he hates lestat for being successful and ruining his lets kill ourselves plan, nikki and lestat in auvergne, gabrielle helping lestat run away to paris in the first place, armand wasting a bunch of his coven members once they leave him, armand enchanting/mind-gifting lestat, the whole bit where gabrielle and lestat explain why they can't bring armand with them, ELENI???? actually fr justice for eleni </3, lestat actively looking for marius---

and probably a thousand other things im forgeting tbh. Whatever. It is what it is as they say.

just finished my reread... more to say:

THE MARIONETTE SHOW NIKKI DIRECTS?? Marius' temple for TWMBK and honestly Marius' story too though I get why that's not in this season, did I mention gabrielle ? specifically her begging lestat to come away with her into africa and her general love for the wilderness she is so much more than what they did to her jfc but above all like...

the overwhelming sense that Lestat is good. He becomes a monster and still acts like a good man, he thinks Armand is a little demon and he still loves him and doesn't want to part in anger, he's drawn to the stage because he thinks its GOOD to help people forget themselves...

that last bit especially could have really given us some depth to modern day rockstar Lestat. whatever. read TVL it's actually even better than I remembered.

Me @ the writers

[vamptime-bb]

literally why did Armand kill Larry.... did they just like... forget about that?

[miikuspartner]

[cloudabserk]

it’s crazy cuz you know what would have helped this season tremendously. PUTTING LESTAT AND ARMAND TOGETHER TO HAVE AN ACTUAL CONVERSATION. you know. like they did in the FAMOUS BOOK THE VAMPIRE LESTAT.

you are not immune to inventing an arbitrary set of rules that only you have to adhere to

[anonymousbee48]

when armand wants something (love, attention, an apology) from someone (louis, daniel, louis again) so he tortures them until he gets it and then gets distraught when it doesn't feel real

[vamptime-bb]

man fuck this show.

so heartwarming to see armand and daniel engaging with eachothers hobbies (evil journalism and dismemberment) this episode

[the-heavenly-option]

sure, let's have a black woman be basically a caricature, call her black father a nappy-headed slave, claim she never cared for him even though the past two seasons make it very clear that's not true, say she hates him more than her rapist and the people who murdered her, claim she intentionally and maliciously lied about being threatened with rape, say she prefers her white father (who horrifically abused her for 30 years btw) over him, and then have said fathers not show a single intense emotion over it afterwards. you know, since we can have characters just do ANYTHING now.

i just think he would talk during movies
