Living Legend

lmfao at the almost casual aside that's basically like "Yeah David Talbot will not be a character on this show, sorry, Louis ate him"

ldpdl being homophobic about dm fledgling bond as if we didn't see him holding the door open for his lestat hallucination at one point

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

I think they did a great job of showing how degrading lestat found life with his family. as a lover of beauty, he found the ugliness of their minds and their lifestyle unbearable. something that really touched me about that part of the book was how dazzled he was by the cleanliness of the monastery.

going to start saying "it's ok i have the blood of akasha in me" when faced with any kind of problem at all

"they shouldn't have adapted the incest" yeah girl let's just remove lestat getting raped by magnus too. let's remove his brothers beating him up. let's remove akasha kidnapping him. let's remove any instance of lestat being abused since abuse (especially sexual abuse) is soooo "icky" to watch
