Well what the fuck did you think was gonna happen?

Can't stop thinking about how the only times we've seen Armand lose control over his facial expression is when he is being rejected, and how he tries to force a smile each time 😭😭

When in acute distress, Armand will smile a pained, mirthless smile.

what the fuck is going on with the smizes. they're like... spontaneously generated orbs that are released into the dystopia's water so it like incentivizes everyone to waste water and swim in sewage for the chance to have one because it bestows a magic power that means you can become a famous fashion model. and then when you find a smize it like expands like a ponyo spell in your hands and turns into glasses that make you beautiful??

another wrinkle is that the world of modelland has nations. one of them is france, but the first guy from that nation who we meet is a homunculus with a giant human hand for a head. he's the only one like that so far so i don't know. another nation has ONLY people with albinism, which is really confusing because they explicitly point out that their whole nation-state has a ton of life-threatening health complications because of it

unfortunately i have a lot further to go before i know all the secrets of modelland

Production stills of the lower floor tour bus set from Production Designer Andres Cubillan Soto on Instagram.

"I wish you all could have seen/ smelled this phenomenally disgusting set…

The thought behind this bus was that Lestat had bought it off of a hard partying band (think Motley Crew), basically "hosed down" the lower floor, and then fully remodeled and decked out his space upstairs. Because… its Lestat! This was one of those sets that just kept evolving and evolving, not just through out the season, but even before the cameras rolled. What I had envisioned was then taken a 1000% further by our fantastic scenic department (lead by Chiko Quan) and set decoration team (led by Summer Gaal and Ken Robinson). The level of disgusting detail was incredible. Every nook and cranny was filled. Every surface was sticky and dirty and covered in "mysterious" stains.

But to see the actors then react to the space and then embody the debaucherous playground we presented, is what every production designer dreams of.

Little girl teaching her cats how to draw a flower 

*baby voice* “… and if you have any questions, just ask me! And now… yeah. And now you draw the roots. You draw them all twisted up! Got it? A flower? Now draw it. Did you get it, Luis Roberto? Did you get it, Jurandir? Look. Did you get it? That’s how you draw a flower.”
