It's basically the same as the scene in the book but compounded by aspects of Claudia's character from Interview with the Vampire and other books in the series. Claudia is evil and she embraces that—is that a new thing that you guys didn't realize?

She kills innocent people and takes sadistic pleasure in it. She dismembers her victims and keeps their rotting bodies in her room for her own enjoyment 😭. She has no shame and no desire to live up to human morality. Of course she prefers Lestat over Louis because she actually understands and respects Lestat—at least he knows he's evil, at least he embraces being a monster, at least he doesn't try to pretend to be good and human like Louis does.

She's also been wandering in purgatory and torment watching this man who took everything from her do the same fucking shit he's always done while parading the dollified memory of her around so he can use her like an object of his own pain—all while fucking the man who orchestrated her murder and wishing he was fucking the man who abused her and reading out her secret diary she never intended him or anyone to read for the world and FOR HER RAPIST??

Not for her. Not for her at all. All for his pain and his desires and her as a throw pillow for when he won't look at her kindly 💀. Literally paying girls like they're whores to dress up like her. Lestat knows he did Claudia wrong and he never pretended he didn't.

"But Claudia says she lied about what Lestat said on the train and that's bad" — okay?? Why?? 😭😭

She lied about Lestat saying one particularly vile and cruel thing to her to get Louis to side with her against him. IDK, she also slit Lestat's throat? 😭 It's not like she lied about how he treated her and the abuse he put her through. She told Louis a story she knew would get him upset. Why's that bad.

These are all dishonest and unreliable narrators. But Claudia can't be dishonest or biased or motivated in complicated ways cuz she's the pure one that doesn't lie? Like I don't get it.

It's the same as the scene in Merrick. Claudia calls Louis Lestat's slave in Interview with the Vampire(the book). I remember reading Merrick and thinking AMC IWTV would have a field day with this. And like. They did.

I guess everyone can be fucked up and have dark and complicated morals except for Claudia who's unambiguously good. So true.

Here’s some excerpts from the scene adapted from Merrick. In the book Claudia tells Louis she wants him to kill himself and she’s going to enjoy watching him do it, so really they held back

I was upset when the sequel dramas aired and Shinkumi wasn’t official even though in the source material it was canon, so this makes a lot of sense as to why Shin never returned as a character despite declaring to pursue her in the season 1 finale and having Kuma as a series regular or Uchi come back in cameos. But for those of us who still love Shinkumi at least their manga counterparts eventually became canon. Spoilers: Shin decides to go to law school to become a Yakuza lawyer to replace Shinohara so he can protect Yankumi and her family and be her arm candy as she becomes a BAMF yakuza boss while still doing the teacher thing by day. Now THAT’S an ending. Too bad I’ll never see it on screen SIGH.

like it is supposed to feel jarring and insane. it is supposed to feel like lestat has been violently submerged in modern young people trends and culture and is now repeating all the new words he learned like a beautiful fresh baby. but because the book is from 1985, all I think is oh interesting huh I didn’t know that slang term even originated in the 80s how vintage how retro how lestat wow he’s so embarrassing aw aw so cute.
