Naya • She/Her • IWTV sideblog (meaning I'm incapable of following anyone back from here, but if I reblog from you on a regular basis we're most likely already mutuals on my main ♥️) Enjoyer of all Armand ships. Attention : Ça fait longtemps que j'me soucie plus de ce que les gens, surtout les Loustatinas, ont à dire sur Armand, Loumand, ou Lesmand. C'est pas un espace sûr pour toi si tu les détestes.

One on the nose lyric amongst a lot of good, subtle lyrics 😬

INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE (2022-) | S03E07

[turnipoddity]

doodled claudia (and madeline) to get through the day…

[userarmand]

assad's leg bouncing like crazy after he accidentally implied lestat's lyrics are shit from a butt 😭

[itkitay]

daniel and armand, my darlings 😭 

[usaginoir]

I… am speechless. People really are that ignorant and prejudice ?

[covenendearment]

“you just can’t handle male victims of abuse,” say lestat fans to louis and armand fans

[flopstat]

louis would go to late night movies by himself and he’d buy a jumbo popcorn just to smell it throughout the movie

the best way to enjoy TVL is to not have read the books and also to not have watched IWTV on amc in fact maybe it’s best if you’ve never watched a tv show before and probably you shouldn’t be familiar with vampires and maybe just don’t think or think so hard that you create a different tv show in your head no wait actually just wait for next season it’ll make sense then hope that helps

[allthethingsisaid]

It's both disgusting and ironic that some white fans of TVL are saying black fans lack media literacy for not enjoying the show especially since some white fans are too ignorant to even notice the racism that's blatantly present.

"Louis being referred to as Louisiana fried chicken wasn't racist. They were just making fun of him for being burned." GTFOH.

like now that we're talking language, the french in tvl was horrendous fuck!! even more than in the first 2 seasons (apart from assad's and roxane's obv). granted it's french so it's not that bad but you would think that a series with budget would make sure that its grammar is not awkward af...

[usaginoir]

Look… before TVL dropped I had a lot of hope after the Rolin trailer dropped and that article where he compared Lestat to Walter white… now after TVL it tells me he watched breaking bad and thought Walter was a bad ass and Skyler abused him and Jesse manipulated Walt… and Walt Jr is a bitch for calling the cops on him

Assad Zaman as Nightcrawler for your consideration

The way it’s been like three weeks since the finale aired, and all I have for this show still is vitriol.

Also like. Among my friend/fandom circles…the way we aren’t moving at all about this season now that it’s over. Nobody moving. Nobody flooding the chats with headcanons or predictions or new fics and art. Because it was so bad and so definitive in its answers to questions of accountability or any modicum of character growth, there’s nothing to analyze, nothing to be excited about for future seasons — with the exception of Akasha, which I’m now totally unconvinced will be handled with nuance.

I have looped back around to feeling utterly betrayed. I just cannot believe we waited two years for this. Completely abandoned post-season 2 promo at Comic Con in 2024…for this.

I have been told that my lack of enjoyment for TVL is a skill issue. I refuse to believe that at this point. I know when a series has low points/weaker seasons without losing its core. I can pinpoint these moments are in my favorite media. This is just. A totally different fucking show, dude. One that hates its protagonists of color — there is no other interpretation of what we witnessed and to deny it is to gleefully practice willful ignorance — and frankly doesn’t even like its main character that much.

Not to be parasocial but I truly can’t believe the actors were fully onboard with what they had to make this season. I just can’t. As we’ve said time and time again, a tonal departure is one thing; a POV shift is one thing. A loveless DARVO campaign with music in between is entirely another. When they literally didn’t have to do all that. The writers CHOSE to make it this way.

I wish it wasn’t that serious for me, but it was painful to watch a lot of this season. Not in a compelling way. I just felt genuinely fucking hurt. And embarrassed.

Is anyone else still feeling like this almost a month later? I’ve been disappointed in many shows before. But I think it would’ve hurt less if the previous two seasons were of lesser quality.

Just saw somebody deadass say the racism of season 3 is the point. This fandom is a fucking prison

[mannequinswithkillappeal]

it's been interesting to watch fans of the season grapple with problems they can clearly see but which they still feel the need to defend. at first we were simply imagining these issues, but when those issues became undeniable these fans just switched tactics. the music's bad? it's supposed to be. there's rank misogyny underpinning the whole thing? it's meant to be misogynistic. racism? oh that's there on purpose, actually. poor quality dialogue? it's a deliberate choice! plot holes? exposition dumps? lack of character development? lack of chemistry? pacing issues? cheap wigs? redundant narration? choppy and confusing editing? bad lighting? these are creative decisions that you're all too stupid to truly Get

[endlesstrashcycle]

girl keep those tags

[louisdulacofsin]

saw a couple tvl fans say that the season would not appeal to people who "obsessively rewatched the past seasons" and needs to "be viewed casually"
