first flower of my house

iwtv continues to be so smart in its portrayal of memories and trauma, the way lestat’s memories of his family are so obnoxiously loud, everyone’s screaming all the time for no reason and everyone’s acting like caricatures, like an actual assault on the senses, as if lestat’s mind is filled with unbearable noise every time he thinks about them. lestat’s memories coming at him all fragmented and loud and violent, attacking him and beating him into submission as he desperately tries to escape them is such an interesting contrast to how louis would carefully weave a thread of his past pretending the glaring holes in it weren’t there

if I were an actor doing promo for a show and they made me do a tiktok dance or they sent me to talk about nothing on some podcast hosted by an instagram influencer for an hour when marketing stunts like the vampire lestat concert or the severance grand central station pop up are possible, I think I would just kill myself

lestat’s fans are gonna be thinking he’s fucking his groupies while he deals with his very public divorce from his husband, and then while everyone who read the book fights on social media and picks sides, louis and lestat are gonna get caught in their own version of the ‘spotted at the coldplay concert’ situation and somehow it WILL be daniel molloy’s doing

I am genuinely afraid nothing in my real life will ever give me the same rush of pure adrenaline and sheer joy and actual palpitations as interview with the vampire (2022-ongoing)

the thing is, being blond is such a key-characteristic of lestat’s personality,, like I can’t explain why but all this, the rockstar era, the divorce, the drama and melodrama, the aesthetic, how pathetic and ridiculous and over the top he looks, it would simply not be the same if he wasn’t blond. this is not a blond-friendly post to be clear. but it’s so him that it’s also kind of endearing. like of course he’s blond (derogatory) (said with fondness)
