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

Also, from a more meta perspective, there's something very French, therefore very Lestat, about all of it that I love. The way Lestat remembers his family reminds me of the grotesque political caricatures used to ridicule the aristocracy during and after the French Revolution. They're loud, exaggerated, almost absurd versions of themselves. Given that Lestat lived through the Revolution and is such a theatre kid at heart, it feels fitting that his memories of his aristocratic family end up looking less like realistic recollections and more like satirical caricatures.

sometimes u go a little while without watching mash and then you come back and its like bj was literally gay on tv
