A (planet hitting the sun)

Please watch this interview with Alan Taylor, the director of the show pilot, and now the director of TVL finale, and you'll get how it's not just the actors who seem to have a problem with Rolin Jones' vision, but also the directors.

Alan is complimentary of all the actors, but in particular Assad. He said something about the Rolin Jones Final Cut of the season finale and how it's more chaotic as opposed to his vision which was more romantic. He’s very clear that his episode was drastically changed and that he barely recognized the final product. He even seemed a bit angry at one point, and insisted that this was not the case for the show pilot where only one scene was changed a bit. He said one of his favorite scenes was a long closeup shot of Assad and that he LOVED it…but it was cut.He said that close up of Assad made him realize that he is one of the greatest actors he's ever witnessed.

he's literally like hey guys welcome to my youtube channel, i'm the vampire lestat and i LOVE this modern age i just woke up in, and i also like this rock band who have been rehearsing right next to where i was asleep underground for reasons i'll get into later. they're these beautiful little 80s goths and they're so innocent and i love these little guys and i'm gonna be in their band because i asked nicely, but also they told me about this book called interview with the vampire that i'm a character in apparently? and i read it and i can't believe my beloved louis would break such an important rule by telling humans about us! the other vampires are gonna be so mad! i need to make sure me and my band are super famous and i'll even write a book of my own to take the attention away from louis. i don't love the way he portrayed me in this book like some of it's definitely bullshit but i can't stay mad at him, that's my man for real and this book is for him because i want him to know all the stuff about my history that i never told him when we were together. i need to protect him by breaking the same vampire rules but Louder and Worse. also lowkey because i love the attention. and also because maybe doing all this will bring all the vampires out of hiding and bring all my other vampire beloveds to me because i miss them. anyway here's my entire life story that i'm happy to tell the world in blistering detail, enjoy!

As soon as Lestat becomes a vampire he feels a Presence at the back of his mind, something watching him and he feels it for a good couple weeks. He just calls it Presence which is sick as fuck.

Not long after he turned Gabi, they both feel the Presence (her first time feeling it, she's terrified) and a moment later Magnus' lair (sick ass castle outside Paris) gets SWARMED by vampires. They're all angry and yelling at them for breaking the Great Laws. It's only by sheer luck that the two survive the night.

The vampires killed the poor stable boy and left a cloak that Lestat feels is familiar somehow but doesn't place the pieces together.

They then embark to Paris, ready to go to war with these mfers.

Only to get swarmed by them again (duh) and they retreat into the Notre Dame Cathedral. The place is crawling with vampires, but the Children of Satan can't enter a church by their archaic laws. Gabi and Lestat both realize why the cloak was familiar, it was Nicky's, and that the vampires had kidnapped him.

As they're bemoaning this new information, the Presence enters the building. Armand just walks in to confront these two french mfers while aura farming the entire time. They're horrified at his presence, but Lestat points out how strangely beautiful he is.

Now, I know they would NEVER have had the budget to film at Notre Dame, but I would've taken ANY church scene. This was so gothic and sick as fuck.

What's the first "big news story" you remember from when you were a kid?

It's something I love to ask mixed-aged groups sometimes because I think it's really interesting to see the responses. I've gotten answers from the Olympics of [whatever year] to Watergate to more recent stuff from my niblings.

You can't take the Gothic out of the Romantic, but you can't also take the Romantic out of the Gothic,
