I’m still unsure what I’m doing here

yeah and so what you people don’t understand is that Claudia finally feeling free enough and safe enough to tell Louis and Lestat to fuck off and blow each other is literally what she has needed the entire time. like I want you to remember that she was fourteen when she was turned. She was a fourteen year old Black girl who did not ask for any of this. and this white devil and the man he has beguiled into doing his bidding trapped her for decades. they trapped her in her barely pubescent body and then again in that fucking house and then again in that trial and then again in hell. never once in the entire time she was a vampire did she ever have the safety and freedom to express herself truly. And still, even in her death, they continue to objectify and abuse her for their own ends. Louis for his self flagellation and Lestat for his romanticism of his own life. Never was it about her. Never was it about what she needed. She had to fight and claw and scheme and manipulate for even one good thing to cross her path. this show continues to comment on misogynoir and racism in ways most of you could never understand.

it happened quickly and i was already crying but gabriella taking lestat to see the “witches” burn and pointing out that what they were actually burning for was being victims of sexual violence whose abusers were “cleaning up” loose ends + the note that one of the girls had used to play at the lioncourt house. this was a threat that lestat should keep quiet about his own victimization right

The cool thing about death note is you could feasibly explain the basic premise of it like the mechanics of the note and also L and lights weird homoerotic shit and you would have a pretty good idea of what the entire plot is like without ever having to explain the terrifying floating clown monster

Anyone else notice how Louis immediately knew to catch Lestat the second he started breaking down? 🫪 Louis has totally seen this exact behavior before. Lestat has had panic attacks in front of him in the past. Louis immediately knew to catch him, bury his face in his hair and say exactly what Lestat needed to hear to ground him. Literally fuck me.

the best death note joke format will forever be L asking light a simple question in which logical answer A might increase the likelihood of light being kira and logical answer B similarly might increase the likelihood of light being kira and after a short internal struggle light comes up with answer Y, which no human being has ever thought of as being a normal response in all of living history

the "what are your pronouns" comic is my fave example.
