first flower of my house

after two seasons of daniel being a dangerous player in the interview and outsmarting two powerful vampires with his wit, it’s kind of fascinating to see him so out of his depth now. he knows ball but he’s never played against lestat. he’s never met someone more stubborn than him, and on top of that he’s a baby vampire now! and lestat is using his inexperience and vulnerability to his advantage, beating him at his favorite game. how ironic it is to feel weaker now that you’re immortal than when you were dying

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)
