More character intro art for AU under the cut.

"Everybody’s free to judge the rest of it. If all goes right, we’ll have six or seven more seasons to work on you coming around to that, or the redemption of that. [In season one,] the audience wants to kill Lestat along with Louis and Claudia. But we had to sit on it for a year and a half. So it’s okay for people to think that we made a supervillain out of Lestat and then to come around to a fuller portrait. In season three, [Lestat is] front and center, and Jacob takes a supporting role. And it’s not all about point of view. We got 80 to 85-percent of Lestat pretty solid. Retribution is easy, right? It’s being contrite. [There’s] the idea that forgiveness should be part of this cycle, too. That’s something I think we’re trying to sell." "So, what am I interested in? I’ll be less interested in point of view and memory as much. The challenge of the books is that there’s not a lot of forward story. I don’t think that you can probably mine the arcs of those for origin story after origin story after origin story. But that doesn’t mean you can’t take the same material and in very inventive, exciting ways move it forward."

And:

“We were so terrified that everyone was gonna hate us. I remember just being backstage before we went onto that panel two years ago and just, yeah, feeling like the world was ending. We were so nervous. I mean, it was just so nerve-wracking, because obviously, you know, people love the film and they love the book, and they’re like who are these guys? Yeah. Who are you? Yeah. It was scary.”

Puts this Jam moment into an entirely new light….as if that was even possible. 🥺😭♥️

“Who are these guys? Who are you?”

For those who desire to know the main traits of each Thomas & Friends characters so you could have an idea of where Lemon would place you.

I think I’m a bit of Percy.
