there's a tv, joe

my fic

I don’t know why I picked this today.  Sorry it’s not vampires. And just sorry.

I’ve been thinking about this play a lot.  This time last year I watched it every day for a month.

Why this moment? Just random? Or maybe something about how it starts in The Inescapable Horror of adulthood, but it seeps into memory, and the certainties of childhood…?

But I’m intimidated by the start of it.

I wanted to start the year liking something I created & I failed, but nevertheless, the point is to do, and here is what I did today. (Maybe I doomed myself, as in hoping to like - that's not supposed to be the point, so the doom is already laid.

Check out the full play on digital theatre here.

Are you gonna teach me to be a man, Lestat de Valois?

One thing I'm really loving about the perspective shift between Interview with the Vampire and The Vampire Lestat is how Lestat and Louis appear in each other's narratives, through each other's eyes.

Louis sees Lestat as this primal force of nature who looks like a romance novel hero, can effortlessly control any room, is "preternaturally charming," impeccably turned out, no one can say no to him for long.

but we get in LESTAT'S head, and suddenly he has scars and a tangled mane of hair, people are constantly talking over him, he sweats, he's getting beat up and his clothes are getting destroyed in a non-sexy way, he's flailing around wildly with NO idea what he's doing, people (lestat included) think he's untalented and annoying.

And LOUIS, well. Louis clearly sees himself as uncanny, reserved, compelling but a little off-putting. He is other: cut-off from humanity, holding his emotions and relationships at arm's length.

Then we see him in The Vampire Lestat, and it's like no. This is the warmest, cutest, sexiest, coolest, most desirable man who has ever walked the face of the earth.

the one band member thinking to himself that he's so glad lestat killed one of the tech guys and lestat going "dude I just fired him like a normal person" was an underrated moment tbh

[clytemnestraaa]

i'm going to say something insane. i think the overall pronounced fandom cultural slide away from complex plotty violent work and towards kidfic and coffee shops AUs and cozy domestic romcoms is a symptom of fascism.
