Now that The Queen of the Damned season has been announced, I hope we'll soon get some news about the casting of the new characters. I also suspect that not all of the many characters will make it to the screen.
Who do you think they'll sacrifice?
Santino
Mael
Jesse
One of the twins
Khayman
Several of them (they already have a band!)
I'm an optimist—they'll all make the cut!

Hi Nalyra!
I hope you're having a good holiday.
I was wondering: if they're planning to start shooting this autumn, they've probably already held casting calls and maybe even chosen actors for the new characters they're going to introduce in QOTD. Do you think they could have done it all in secret and will only announce the results later? Or do you think they haven't even started the process yet?
Oh I do think they‘ve started and maybe are even already searching/casting. I mean, they cast before with theoretical scenes so the scripts are not necessary atp.
But AMC / the show have been erratic at best at announcing the castings - iirc there were several, including Joseph Potter, who were announce officialöy only long after everyone knew already.
So we‘ll have to see. Usually something leaks somewhere. :))

Lestat: When you arrived in Paris, I was a spirit. And I walked with you and Armand along the Seine.
Louis: And you also ate a photograph.
Lestat: And was that your psyche churning up...
Louis: Uh, guilt. Sharing-a-coffin, slitting-your-throat guilt, or you-being-in-a-garbage-dump gone, or the other kind of gone guilt. I didn't know which.
Lestat: Hmm.
Louis: Did you see me too, those years?
Lestat: [Shakes his head, chuckles.]
Meanwhile, Lestat's psyche, churning up:
I’ve never been happy with my designs for Armand and Daniel sooooo I drew some I liked and then made unreadable notes. I can never get rid of very young!Daniel wearing glasses, even if they were just to make him look more serious.
what if there was a Queen of the Damned manga adaptation??
what if THE STORY OF DANIEL THE DEVIL’S MINION, OR THE BOY FROM INTERVIEW WITH THE VAMPIRE in a manga???
speaking of lil demons ;)
(this was an outtake draft from that armand and daniel comic i posted a bit back)
I've been struggling with the new season because of the dynamics of lestat and Gabriella. I appreciate your posts. My father groomed me when I was young (I'm sure it would have not been better with my mother either). It's so hard seeing what she does and the worst part is some parts of it can be defended, but not because of like "oh it was this" but because a lot of us who were molested/groomed/bonded with them make those excuses. We just naturally come up with them. I did for a long time. I kept saying he was tired. He didn't know what he was doing. He did. And that's hard. The final episode with the confrontation at the long table is still a tough scene but I'll keep rewatching because I love the show.
I think the part that hit the worst... was when Louis finds out and lestat *sees* the video. He's never been on the outside of it. The horror, repulsion, vomiting, shaking. I know it. It's so hard. It's literally inside you despite it being decades, it worms its way into and jfc it fucks me up. So when Louis starts going off and lestat gets really sick and calling him out, even I was whispering to the TV to stop. Because yeah, Louis can't be a judgy hoe right now. Baby steps. Or you'll make them retreat to the abuser and get worse.
Anyway I thought it was well written and I think it's good they made her overly sexual because film/TV wise, people will ignore all the signs of sexual abuse unless it's screaming right at them. And even then sometimes... lol they still dont
it has been SO hard to watch, absolutely. i see so much of myself in lestat and my mother in gabriella so i sobbed through nearly every episode. it's been especially difficult seeing people view their dynamic as disgusting instead of abusive, and seeing lestat as an equal participant instead of a victim.
louis' response was very realistic and triggering. i can't watch that scene without feeling sick because i know how lestat feels. i've had to scream and panic to be heard and understood. i was very happy to see it end in love and acceptance instead of continued disgust, and that piece of it was very healing for me.
i think also regarding her being cartoonishly awful, we're seeing her from lestat's perspective. and i know my friends who have never met my mother and only know of her through my stories see her as a repulsive, awful caricature of herself. and i think that's what's happening with gabriella here as well, rightfully so. she is extremely two dimensional through his eyes because ultimately how she came to abuse him doesn't matter to him. he just wanted to be loved by his mother. she should have been a mother. the rest isn't going to matter to the wounded. and as we've seen with some of this audience, she needed to be two dimensional to get the point across too.

So now anytime someone says "crying, screaming, throwing up"
There is only one thing I can think of
“When I Call Out Your Name” is quite a special song. But I was slightly surprised that, according to the poll results, it came fourth—just behind “Stained Glass Eyes”, although I do agree that it is a beautiful song.
It was really interesting to learn that it was one of the first songs Daniel Hart wrote for the show. And the line “My dear Gaa-Ga-Ga-Ga-Ga” actually inspired the writers to emphasise Lestat’s stutter throughout the whole season. DH: “What a serendipitous thing. It wasn't my intention to make the stutter a big part of the show; it just made sense for the song, and then Rolin took that and made it make sense for the rest of the show.”
It’s also a good example of why Daniel Hart was such an important part of the writers’ team.
I need Joseph Potter to return as Nicki in season 4. He is such a treasure!
…says Gabs, who covered her ears during Lestat's concert
...and stared at her phone in the studio while everyone else was listening to “Stained Glass Eyes”—a song in which she had zero interest because it did not promote the Great Conversion but instead reflected one of Lestat's many traumas.

And I did scream.
@pink0paques please these tags are too good and accurate!!!
Hi nalyra! I hope you're coping.
One of my main complaints is that, after a season of brilliant and extremely smart dialogue, all they came up with for the finale was, "Yes, I failed, but at least I tried." They could have done better.
But there were a couple of things that I liked about the finale. I hope you also found at least something good in it.
I'm getting there :)
And, I mean, that message in and by itself was a good one.
But I agree, ... it felt a bit anticlimactic, because it was such a simple statement.
After a rewatch and reading several interviews, I think I understand better what they put into that phrase and can appreciate the message more.
It was always the case, but even more so with this season—there's no way you can catch everything that's there without several rewatches!
