I really really wanna render it digitally because I've been practicing and I lowk think it'd be really cool BUT I CAN'T (rn) and it's making me sad

Her internal monologue calling out to ‘bad silence’ without any previous reference to good/bad silence but still gesturing to it like an established idea… do you think she - 16 and dumb in a bright red skirt and headband - used to categorize him like that. Good silence, bad silence. What does that hum mean. Is this the kind of twitch of his shoulders which means she’s made him smile or the kind that gets her dismissed without a thought in the cold of the night. Again. Is that exhale exasperation or good humor. Always checking, was that a good silence, or a bad one.

Lestat's perspective is never challenged or called into question because they so desperately want you to align with him. They are so concerned with steering their audience away from caring about the cycles of abuse and towards Lestat's trivial outlook on vampirism. Lestat isn't actually an abuser, the blood of Akasha made him do it...It's a vampire thing. His incestuous relationship with his Mother is presented as abusive when Lestat was human but in the modern day it is trivialised because "it's different for vampires". Claudia apparently likes Lestat more than Louis because "he knows who he is" - Louis' attachment to "human morality" is now presented as a character flaw. This is now the show's outlook on vampirism. One that is arguably similar to what Santiago says in the trial: "I ask you to set aside your mortal biases and remember that we are monsters."

Duke’s mom inspiring him to be the Signal ;; he loves her so much :( | “My mother, she’s a social worker, and she always goes out first thing in the morning to meet her clients. She says it’s the best time to see things clearly. To see them in a new light.”

This ship has my brain in a chokehold I’m supposed to be doing artfight attacks and instead I’m drawing these gay freaking nerds💔💔💔
