Someday, Together We’ll Shine

IWTV seasons 1&2 are my favourite seasons of television ever, I’ve rewatched every episode multiple times and I genuinely think the writing is genius level. And then I’m watching The Vampire Lestat and I’m so bored and uninterested in the plot, I barely care to rewatch any episode, and it’s making choices I strongly disagree with.

after the release of chapters 3&4 there were sooo many "jokes" on the reddit and other areas of people hating on Kris for being a bad vessel, hitting the soul with a hockey stick, working with the knight, etc. they would then describe ways in which they'd punish kris for daring to defy them and write up being violent towards them. and yeah theyd say it's all jokes or whatever but it got old and unfunny so so fast i had to avoid the subreddit entirely because every post about kris had this brought up and just ruined the discussion.

now after the chapter 5 release people are switching up on susie and making jokes about hating her for ruining kris' chances with berdly and pink as if susie is forcing kris to be alone, but then when people rationalize that actually kris just doesnt care about any of this, people will be like "yeah well she ruined MY chances with them" (thus conflating kris as a self insert which the game has established time and time again they are not!!). which like, its just all so unfunny. and again theyre saying they are joking, but some people are actually using this to start hating on susie truly as if shes some sort of awful friend to kris and completely disregarding their feelings.
