hi

we as a society are not appreciating “when i call out your name” enough

the band just deciding to do a cover before rehearsal to fuck around and have fun while lestat twirls like a pretty princess is so wattpad coded and i mean that as the highest praise

the episode ending with the vampire equivalent of “in another life, i’d really like just doing laundry and taxes with you” then an immediate beheading by devil’s minion really just sums the experience of this show

i wouldn’t trade the show for anything, but i do wonder what it would’ve been like if we’d gotten an actual sequel or even trilogy for the iwtv film, with those actors. like imagine tom cruise and antonio banderas flirting, tom cruise being expected to do rockstar lestat, antonio banderas and christian slater doing the devil’s minion chapter? not to mention lestat and nicki kiss in the books because they’re together pre-vampirism. would they have made tom cruise do gay kissing? who would’ve played nicki? who would’ve played gabriella?

i don’t think we’ll get a full answer on what occurred on the train, but here’s my thoughts: lestat was warning claudia, not threatening her. he didn’t want what happened to her, to him, to happen again. and a girl like her, a girl like him? out on her own again? but because lestat de lioncourt is not exactly known for his communication skills and claudia had already decided he was the villain in her story, things got lost in translation.

girlhood is stage dooring for jeremy jordan actually. standing in a sea of other girls all collectively experiencing insane emotions, it’s like a club bathroom for people who were annoying in middle school

“i’m not vampire fabio” babe ive literally been calling you that in my head all season, the scars don’t change anything

devil’s minion is absolutely going to be breaking up loustat next week. and not fun, rage baiting in lawyer meetings breakup, like actually drive them apart.

walk with me for a second. daniel and armand are going down whatever dark, violent path the rest of the season takes them on. and armand continues to be his same calculating, action-through-inaction self. but then. something happens, doesn’t really matter what, but armand loses it. he snaps. he turns feral and impulsively violent, all his careful construction gone. and daniel watches whatever horrifying bloodbath occurs and maybe he’s started to remember or maybe he hasn’t, but suddenly he’s seeing armand without the bullshit, without the armor, in his terrible, monstrous glory, and that’s when he falls in love with him.

something something louis watching armand start to stalk daniel. and at first louis thinks it’s a fascination, maybe an obsessive crush, something that will run its course sooner than later. and it lets him know daniel is okay, and louis been sleeping with other men, and honestly he doesn’t love armand enough to care if he likes him anyway, so sure. but slowly, surely, he’s watching armand fall in love with his fascinating boy. watching the way he speaks about him, the look on his face when he does, change into something deeper. and instead of being jealous or upset, louis is relieved. relieved that finally they’re on an even playing field. that now that armand is too, he no longer has to lie to himself about having spent their relationship in love with someone else.

lestat’s hoodie-no-shirt and leather pants combo is such an outfit i’m in love with him

remember how daniel molloy spent season one being a lestat hater, only to whip out the pompoms for the loustat ship the second he decided armand pissed him off more? what do we think will happen when, halfway between hating and loving armand, he meets marius and instantly sees through his bullshit?

honestly rude how assad zaman managed to unlock new levels of pretty pretty disney princess in this new autumn brown interview

love that the blood shower serves no practical purpose and lestat just had it installed for vibes. love that the blood isn’t actually cleaning, as far as we know. love that he doesn’t use soap, and as a matter of fact there doesn’t look to be anywhere to hold soap if he did. lestat you dramatic bitch i love you

don’t mind me just thinking about gabriella’s jokes at armand’s expense being specifically sympathetic towards marius. about the sense already being given that marius is also giving lestat a poor impression of armand. about armand and lestat both seeing love as intrinsically linked to sex and particularly what they provide in terms of it. about what might have happened if they’d seen themselves in each other’s victimhood and had the space to confront it. about the fact that in some other world, they could’ve been really good friends.
