It's that Banksy Prick

Hey!

So okay, I don't have a theory on the colors of the posters. I truly have no real clue what is going on with that, currently.

But when it comes to the shadows on posters, I very much do have thoughts and theories about that.

So first off, all living vampires have two shadows behind their physical selves. We see this with Lestat, Louis, Armand, and Gabriella's posters:

While all humans, either living or dead, only have one shadow:

Now, the reason all LIVING vampires have two shadows behind them is that one shadow represents their soul/etheric selves and the second shadow represents their vampire-selves, which are connected to either their Makers and/or the Sacred Core/Amel itself.

There is a whole lore thing about subatomic links all vampires have, and how a part of Amel resides within them after someone is made a vampire, and how that works, that is explained in the book Prince Lestat and the Realms of Atlantis. You can read a more detailed breakdown of how it all works, wrt Amel and those subatomic connections here:

Anyway, regular humans only have one shadow to represent their souls/etheric bodies. I explained about the soul/etheric body in this post in my prediction about Daniel's death:

Now, take a look at the posters for Nicki and Magnus:

Each of them, even though they are vampires, only has one shadow, right?

Well, that is because, even though they were vampires, they are both now dead.

When a vampire dies, that severs their connection to Amel and the part of them that is Amel, and made them vampires, is now gone.

The only thing that exists for Nicki and Magnus, in truth, is their souls, their etheric bodies. And while their soul/etheric selves are likely no longer on Earth, they are somewhere. (In fact, in PLatRoA, we learn exactly where Magnus ended up.)

So with all of that in mind, and given everything we know from the first six episodes, take a look at this:

So, IF my theory about these posters is correct? Then TC and Salamander's time as vampires might very well be short-lived, I think.

And, out of all the members of Lestat's band, only Alex will be the one to survive (at least this season).

Yeah. Gabriella's fledgling. Which, given her being all-in on the Great Conversion, and given what Lestat just said to her about Alex in EP306, maybe she'll be one of the reasons why he will.

Now, a few other points. First, Akasha and Daniel's posters:

Both vampires, but both only with ONE shadow. Why?

Well, Akasha, being the one who HOLDS Amel/The Sacred Core within her, and Amel's presence being the thing that made her a vampire in the first place, THAT, IMO, is the reason Akasha only has one shadow.

Because Akasha's soul and Amel's soul/spirit are entwined with each other. That is the specific thing that happened when Akasha lay dying after a failed assassination attempt. As her soul began to leave her body (her Silver Cord having snapped), Amel snatched up her soul, entwined himself with it, and then forced them both back into her dying body.

Amel's spirit/etheric body was deeply infused with the synthetic polymer Luracastia when he did all this, and it is that polymer that was instrumental in Amel making Akasha into the first vampire. With him as the source, the "seed," the Sacred Core of that.

As for Daniel? Well, I have long thought something similar to Akasha is behind him being a vampire, and I already have a long written-up theory about that here:

Needless to say, I do not think Daniel's turning was in any way standard, i.e., that it happened in the same way other vampires are normally turned.

I also think there is a reason that Daniel's shadow-self in his poster is not a mirror image of his primary/physical self, like it is for every single other person who has a poster.

And now, last but not least...

I think a certain someone (Jarda) might just get turned off-screen.

As for Raglan, I think his two shadows are not that he'll become a vampire, but instead a hint about his unique abilities, i.e., his ability to move his soul from one body to another.

Because there is a whole thing in PLatRoA that explains what is going on with souls going into bodies that are not their own, and the tethers involved if their original bodies are still alive and such.

As per the "teams"... Ryan Kattner changed his color to pink in an IG post, indicating the "teams" aspect of it all. Though it isn't really "Team Lestat", more that yellow... are... frauds. Or... do something / are something they are not.

Pretending to be someone else.

Fake Lestat. Jarda.

Armand pretending to do the steps, while having an agenda.

Alex helping Armand behead Louis and Lestat, hiding behind a mask.

Daniel not really/fully a vampire (and sometimes possessed?).

Raglan... well. Is Raglan. The body thief. He has his own agenda.

Regina, pretending to be Claudia. "Fraudia" as they called her in and outside the show.

Now, AKASHA is red, because she is just herself. Uncategorized as of yet, if you so will. A force in and by herself, too.

Bear in mind that I'm insane obviously, but the specific colour-coding choices on the posters make me think of the "of Cabbages and Kings" rhyme from Alice. Especially with the frequent references to monarchy in its various forms and...uh, cabbages. Exactly how that distinction is being drawn in context I don't know. I'd guess that those who are in favour of vampiric rule & liberty (either through the Great Conversion, or just in the more anarchic Savage Garden sense) are the fuchsia-coloured "Kings" and those who oppose it, either because they are human, or wish to avoid change and cling to the old ways, are the yellow-green "Cabbages".
