the way people love evil

Does Louis know? What does he think of it? Does he care? He’s currently not talking to either of them so they’re probably perfect for each other in his mind.

Your co-star Eric is famously online. What's the fan theory he's made you aware of that you can't forget?

JACOB: Yeah no Eric's like on Tiktok, Instagram, Twitter... he's on everything. He knows everything.

SAM: Yeah. Actually I did get shown a photograph of him that he posted of himself like, sitting in a chair manspreading going like... he's ready to party or something like that. [Jacob laughing] In a scene that comes up in the show, and I was like... wow that's– good on him!

JACOB: I love it.

SAM: Yeah. I haven't really heard fan theories for a long time, like obviously the last time we were really discussing fan theories was that Armand was Alice. Like that was the last main theory...

JACOB: Oh yeah! That was a good one though. I like that.

SAM: Yeah I love that one, I love that one.

the concept of a cynical, acerbic old journalist who battled a lifetime of trauma and addiction being faced with mortality through a fatal degenerative disease that will slowly rob him of his autonomy. a closeted elder gay man who spent the 80s in the queer scene in san francisco living through the aids crisis. he’s persistently clever and cunning and is strongly implied to have some sort of resistance towards mind control. he’s ruined every single relationship in his life so now he’s an asshole old man living alone with a terminal illness and his daughters don’t even talk to him while he keeps their childhood belongings in his closet. he ruins lives and people but is an expert at self-preservation.
