My Hyperfixation Hell

Reminder that July isn't "lgbtq wrath month," it's disability pride month. Don't erase it.

ohh i'm daniel molloy. i sold millions of copies of my best-selling novel. i'm a beast at bowling. i've got the french bengali smokeshow pinned against the wall. man fuck you

Thinking about Daniel Molloy meeting lestat after Armand and Louis essentially described him as the ultimate sensual dark angel and he's just literally constantly screaming crying and throwing up in person really keeps me going

the difference between interviewing louis and lestat is that louis has spent the past decades ruminating in depressed silence and it’s going to be very hard to say something he hasn’t already thought to himself. daniel can say “have you thought about how your kid’s death was your fault” and louis will be like “extensively.” meanwhile lestat has been living in such avoidance loops that you ask him if he’d stuttered as a child he won’t answer because he needs to have a party drug orgy about it 

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
