i will always support armand doing evil things and won't deny that he does evil things. except for what he did to louis in the s3 finale. the writers made him do that.
While I agree with the criticisms of racist writing devices in season 3 (as well as the lament at the loss of the black writers from the first 2 seasons), I would like to add that, in addition to all of this, the final episode of The Vampire Lestat gave us...to be frank, absolutely nothing of value to carry into the next season.
There were plenty of things I enjoyed about this season, plenty of things I felt like they did get right from the books. But what was the purpose of that finale? An entire hour of out-of-character behavior from Armand and Daniel—two people who would never fucking do that and never fucking say that—with Lestat being relegated to fake conversations in his mind and Louis being viciously tortured.
Nothing of plot relevance happens in that finale. Nothing that was pulled from the books that could have been relevant to the continuation of the story. Nothing that could set us up for Queen of the Damned, nothing that enriched the characters' arcs in any way.
There were so many parts of the book that I expected to see in this season, things I was looking forward to because they would make other narrative choices make sense, and they never came. Things that would have given depth to literally all of our main players. Instead, it was an hour of meaningless plot devices, wildly ooc character direction, and brutalizing characters for no reason.
I still have a lot of things I really loved about The Vampire Lestat, and I still look forward to seeing Anne Rice's books being adapted to screen. But goddamn, I hope Rolin Jones learns from his mistakes this season.
This is the one moment that really caught me off guard. I mean, I read the book. I knew what to expect (at least in its tone). But. But. I didn’t expect the absolute crushing moment of his stutter returning after his mother walks in the room. Imagine being this old with all the power and all this worldly knowledge and your mother can still fuck you up. Yes, he loves her but that love hasn’t matured. He’s still that little boy in France that was beaten down by everyone in his family and latched onto his mum because she was the least cruel. She was still cruel. Don’t get that wrong. I always interpreted her as this woman who was so tired of her husband and his leeching off of her and her sons that were becoming more like their father (and tired of the dresses!) she just shut down. But in shutting down, she tossed Lestat aside. And he would have given her the world to get just a bit of attention from her. And he did that later on. But she wanted more. He wanted her forever. Just her and him. And now that she was free from her terrible life, she wanted to run and explore. So she did. She literally just ditches him suddenly at the end of a chapter and travels to like the jungle and Egypt to explore. And Lestat is alone in a cruel world but he doesn’t have a mum to run to. So he latches on to people/vampires. He begs for love. He wants to give them the world in hopes they stay with him forever. Same cycle over and over.
Anyways! She comes back and he’s launched right back into his childhood. I’d say he needs therapy but I don’t even think a therapist could help him. There’s so much baggage. Sorry for the essay. Expect many more. I have thoughts.
The Vampire Lestat (2026) - Season 1, Episode 1
watching louis' seasons for iwtv and the first episode of tvl and seeing lestat's point of view...
you can truly see how much louis hated and despised being a vampire. he never really spoke of his experiences with vampirism other than with disdain. he viewed lestat as a lot more angry and mean, which i'm not saying that lestat isn't. but it definitely was a lot more aggressive from louis' perspective. he never allowed himself to get close to lestat, always viewing him and the vampire experience as a monstrous one.
we can see lestat is a lot more sassy, bratty, and annoyed rather than this big angry monster seething with rage constantly. like yeah lestat is a lot but he's not this seething monster that louis tried to paint him as
lestat goes into detail about the vampire experience, different facets of it all. he goes into detail about the fact they even pee, and the sex experiences as well.
i think louis also still struggles with his queer identity, which is why he didn't really speak about sex. also because he presents himself very formally to daniel. but anyways. louis in his story never said i love you to lestat. not once. he really struggles to talk about his queer identity, holding back on talks of affection.
most of louis' story consisted of his trials and tribulations with vampirism, with being a monster, with being loved by monsters, with the grief he suffered because of himself and losing claudia. like yeah, louis admitted at the end of season 2 when he saw lestat that he never fully appreciated the gift lestat gave him. and yeah... he never saw it as a gift.
lestat even though he hated being a vampire when he was turned, he at least tried to embrace who he is. that was always what drove the wedge between him and louis. louis couldn't accept the fact he was always kinda a monster prior to being turned. lestat accepted he was a monster. louis couldn't stop himself from being attached to his humanity.
Lestat disrespecting pronouns makes complete sense. Lestat is a misogynist and has a billion layers of internalized racism. His scope of empathy is confined to his own identity. He will challenge homophobia and any criticisms against his identity and choices but he won't do the same for others.
Like we saw that man dismiss Louis' very valid anger at the white businessmen in Storyville. He didn't lift a finger to actually help in a meaningful way, and when Louis killed Fenwick(?), his reaction wasn't to reflect on why Louis chose him of all people to kill. He thought Louis had gotten around to killing, which is blatantly not the case. Lestat did exactly what he did with Louis; say surface level things and commentary while not behaving any differently. That is literally the root cause for why his relationship with Louis fractured.
He loves Claudia but it's the same with her too, he never saw how her race and her previous experiences as a human impacted her ability to trust and function in the world. I know the whole train interaction is being challenged as a complete lie, but something Lestat did made Claudia feel like he saw her sexual assault as trivial.
Lestat in pop culture is a queer icon, a symbol due to how much he deviated from that time's norms. But in-story he was still rather, I don't wanna say conservative but, more conforming than you'd think.
the great thing about armand is that there are 10000 pieces of extremely sad fanfiction about him. in case you ever wanted to make yourself totally miserable

Rozbor yaoi potencionálu ve Švejkovi ♥️
Část 1
(mezi Nadp. Lukášem a Švejkem - a.k.a druhý díl - o Katzovi se můžem bavit někdy jindy. Tentokrát jde samozřejmě o knihu, protože je patrně teplejší než film)
Hošiiii sežeňte si pokojjjj pro krista
Lukáš by se rád mazlil s vojáky, ale s jedním konkrétním
SEHNAL POKOJ
Ok, nyní má analýza nabírá na serióznosti, při čtení jsem si povšiml určitého vzorce:
Švejk něco provede > Lukáš má (opodstatnění) crashout a přemýšlí co všechno tomu pitomci udělá - dá mu pár facek, vytahá ho za uši, vyrazí mu přední zuby... > Vidí toho svého „pitomce“ a nikdy mu nic neudělá, jen pláně vyhrožuje.
Neznalec by mohl říct, že Lukáš je mírné povahy, ale my víme, že předchozího sluhu zbil a že jej (a jeho předchůdce) poslal s marškou...
Švejkussy is just that special
Tímto si domovní bratr zpečetil svůj osud, protože pak ten jeho trouba na truc zastavil vlak a zdrhnul, aby jej za ta slova ztrestal <3
Tato pasáž mě též přivádí k faktu, že jejich vztah je jeden velký fight o asertování dominance - Lukáš se snaží mít tu autoritu (jak je ostatně zvyklí ze svého povolání a ostatních milostných vztahů), ale Švejk mu na ní z vysoka kašle a naopak stále Lukášovi dokazuje, že je Švejkovi vydán na milost. Lukáš si toho je vědom a tak mu zbývají jen plané výhrůžky a nadávky.
1. HE'S GOING THRU ITT
2. Jako pardon, ale Lukáš myslí na to jak nic nemá cenu, stejně umře, jedou na smrt A PAK:
„Bylo mu lehce u srdce, že Švejk zůstal na peróně.“ ON JE RÁD ŽE JE TEN JEHO BLB OUT OF THIS a taky je rád že nemusí přemýšlet nad tím jak se cítí ohledně již zmíněného blba a proč se jej „nemůže” zbavit
Švejk, na druhou strano ví stoprocentně, kde stojí:
Tvůj oberlajtnant jo. Mohl říct regiment. On ví za čím jde.
Můžu na sto procent říct, že Lukáš si po tom, co si uvědomil, že Švejk nepřijede dalším vlakem prošel pěti stádií smutku (did he rly just left me like that😢) a následně malém praskl radostí po tom, co jsi uvědomil, že je pryč (žádná bi krize se nekoná WAHOO). Samozřejmě, že následovalo nervové zhroucení po tom co se důvod jeho budoucího konce a bisexuálního probuzení objevil opět u jeho dveří po tom, co sám sebe přesvědčil že „je to tak lepší“ že zmizel.
Ach ano intenzivní homoerotický stare down
Lukáš je nyní opravdu pissed ALE povšimněte si, neviné větičky:
„Nezačínejte zas, nebo se opravdu něco stane.“ Mohl by ho dát k vojenskému soudu, mohl se ho na dobro zbavit and yet he did not. To, že dal Švejka zavřít je jen šaráda, drobná pomsta a zcela beznadějný pokus o získání převahy (nejde ti to bráško*-*)
NE ON JE LIMIT NA OBRÁZKYY NEEE
Anyway, tento post věnuji @obrozujici-premyslovec za dlouholetý odběr mého literárního yaoi blouznění - předpokládám, že budeš mezi třema lidma, kteří si to přečtou celý
Druhý díl bude, ať chcete nebo ne<3
Omluvte prosím pravopisné chyby, je jedna ráno.
✨self care night✨
I will always love them no matter how much they try to assassinate mike
Talking to friends with inept parents is crazy. No wonder they’re like this if their parents kept fumbling
“I’m having trouble adapting to my adult responsibilities” well no wonder, nobody raised you 😭😭😭
Hot tip for future parents: you actually have to guide your kid to adulthood. Feeding them and waiting for them to grow up is not enough since they are not house plants. A little more thought and care is required.
for those lacking certain "adulting" skills, especially things around the house, check out:
mom, how do i...?
and dad, how do i...?
^ there are tons of other resources but these two will teach you some personal hygiene, home or apartment repairs, easy recipes and basic cleaning techniques, even how to schedule doctor's appointments
if youre a renter i cannot recommend the trans handyma'am enough, mercury is a lifesaver, and her channel and accounts are always accepting new questions
there are so many resources, a lot that you dont have to even ask for, just know how to look 🩷 much love
