Not Crazy At All...

it's not an obsession (yes it is)

Because on a surface level, it does seem thematically interesting. You could talk about vampires forever looking the age that they died, aging, and the natural fetishization of aging an immortal being might have and how that might present, especially in a character like Armand etc etc etc. But also, there are people who want to fuck Daniel Molloy right now.

Like actual normal aged mortal humans. Most of them are significantly younger than 72 year old actor Eric Bogosian. Like ok you can't really argue that Armand wanting to fuck that old man is weird when a large chunk of people came out of IWTV thinking "I want to fuck that old man"

It could never be conventionally romantic. It always has to be some spooky shit with him. Of course being connected to him feels like everyone else has been removed from the planet.

It’s not that everyone fades out and he’s the only person in the room like in a romance movie. It’s “we are alone on earth together because everyone else is dead. The entire planet is just one been liminal space and you and I were left behind by God.”

daniel: no, i get her

daughter: what??

Also how he said “God bless America” and then says the name of every country in the America’s, and ends by holding up a football with Spanish words which mean “Together we are America” *chef’s kiss* redefining what it means to be American

The billboards at the stadium had the words “The only thing more powerful than hate is love”

And that wedding moment with the cake, they were really married in that moment, their faces were soooo cute. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and instead he invited them to get married during his Super Bowl halftime show. Iconic.

He featured a local taqueria from LA. Supporting a local business. 🫰

When he told the camera “I never stopped believing in myself and you shouldn’t either”🥹🥹🥹

The custom cream jersey he wore, embroidered with "Ocasio 64" on the back. Bad Bunny's given name is Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, making "Ocasio" his government surname. The number “64” is thought to be a reference to the initial death toll Puerto Rico's government reported after Hurricane Maria in 2017, a figure later revealed to be dramatically underestimated. Independent studies eventually placed the true death toll in the thousands. Protesters placed shoes outside government buildings to represent loved ones lost in the storm, calling attention to what many saw as official efforts to downplay the disaster's human cost. Bad Bunny later revealed that he, too, had contributed his own shoes to those memorials.

Lady Gaga surprised everyone by singing a salsa version of her hit song while dressed in the colors of the original Puerto Rico flag. It was a way of saying, you wanted a white, American, English-speaking performer for the show, well here I am and I support my Latino neighbors. I am here and support them and have their back. She’s the queen!

And when Bad Bunny gave a Grammy to his younger version of himself 🥲

I don’t speak Spanish but I enjoyed the visual storytelling of this show. Choosing to learn more about the lyrics and the symbolism increased my appreciation for this masterpiece
