Now he basically lets Lestat go unchallenged most times. He should be questioning everyone, the documentary should actually matter instead of just being there. Like we uncovered things alongside Daniel as viewers, but 4 episodes in and it feels like a performance we're being told to accept as truth.

This can also apply to how Louis is being portrayed, it just feels like everyone is an extra in Lestat's story. And I want to see Louis, I want to see Armand. I want to see what everyone is doing and how that'll intersect when they all meet. Hell do something with Gabrielle! Episode 4 we finally saw a glimmer of more from her, how many scenes of Lestat looking at his phone did we need to see fr though? I feel like they're beating us over the head with things this season, go back to subtlety genuinely. You don't need to be obvious ( *cough Claudia assault voice over by Louis intercut with Lestat's turning *cough).

In trying to make Lestat the central point of this series(in a way that doesn't work), this show has failed in keeping a nunaced story where multiple people exist. This is not the book, Anne was obsessed with Lestat and good for her. It was her universe and everyone else was living in it. But this is television, you can't just have one person tell the entire story, be the story and just be worshipped by the writers. Like we can tell! And no it's not coming off great.

Maybe some of you enjoy that but I prefer a more well rounded story. Not another white male Gary Stu!

I mean I think this is just it right guys like this is the hyperfix for me huh. The hyperfix is turning into special interest.

And I did something very Jewish: I mourned privately and moved with my pain.

it makes me so sad that oso san isn’t as popular as many other anime out there i mean— come on its so unhinged like its so funny— its also my favorite anime of all time 😕

yes i know its a bit popular in its native japan but in other parts of the world— its quite niche and its hard to see people talk about it 🥺

and yes the humor is crude but still— i wish more people knew about this hidden gem-

hell it even has a really funny english dub (its as funny as the original japanese version) that gives off major ghost stories energy (tho it only covers the first two seasons and idk if the third season or the upcoming 4th season will get dubbed at all)

I promise this is in good faith and I don't want anyone to not have fun.

But also I'm putting it below a cut so no jumpscares, only come in if you feel like it:

like, whatever other series still have alien cultures like ben 10 and the mcu and steven universe, but none of them have a 1.1 million word fanfic purely exploring the world and culture of an alien species from an insider’s perspective via trollstuck au

and from just the few drips of troll tech and powers and culture we get in canon you get troll culture, uniquely troll puns and social dynamics and an expression of troll romance that is treated as a whole facet of the characters’ lives. just because trolls are buggy guys
