basically the best thing any character can do is decide they don't want to be afraid anymore - in fact they never want to be afraid of anything ever again - and take action so drastic they fail to realise that this too is a decision motivated by fear. or to account for the Consequences of that.

iwtv seasons one and two was like being tucked into bed and read a heartbreaking story by Louis du pointe du lac. The Vampire Lestat is like your blackout drunk uncle trying to tell you an anecdote at a family gathering

i get why people who havent read the books are irritated/confused by the crass shift in mood or atmosphere between seasons 1-2 and the vampire lestat, but as someones whos read the books i genuinely think its hilariously accurate. like. the first book was all philosophical and then in the second book lestat does literal fucking cartwheels when he finds out about his vampire powers im not even kidding.

episode one in a nutshell

having collaborative ocs with friends will have you saying shit like "what if scimble was bumpus wouldnt that be funny" and then like two weeks later its one of the most important pieces of lore you have

some of the best characters are the ones where you know if they sat down and discussed ghosts the conversation would end with them attacking each other with furniture
