also i wanna add that in the midst of this utterly shitty writing i kinda didn't even focus on the fact that the trial is treated as a joke now. have you cried at s2e7, my dear viewer? nah, don't worry about this now. i wanna apologize to people with whom i argued about the trial and the way claudia will be treated in this season, because everyone who was saying that "claudia will only be used for angst points now" were totally correct.
they really do pick random moments where they feel like they need to add angst and that's when claudia's name is evoked, but otherwise we're supposed to move on from everything that happened & somehow even joke about it when we feel like it. so it means that all this time the writers totally didn't care and used it for shock value and as part of the "they do horrible things to each other because they're monsters" narrative. we really put a lot of trust in these people huh.
the real reason why we weren't given much press after the ending of s2 is because amc was afraid that rolin would start saying left and right how "the coven had a point" and that he agreed with santiago but "not everyone has the same opinion, so it's okay"
i think there's a lack of clarity on whether the writers want lestat's narration to have some wry self-awareness in hindsight or if they want his narration to represent lestat's mindset in the scenes we see onscreen, and at times i feel like they lazily drift between the two depending on what they want to depict. if his narration is meant to represent how lestat feels when he made the recordings, it doesn't bode well for his character development and limits the possibility of him coming to certain realizations by the end of s3. lestat insults louis' perception of events and calls him "insane" (yeah he adds a note about removing that comment in the final version of the recordings, but he didn't do that) but that doesn't make sense if he's come to respect louis' truth more over the course of the season. he says he's gonna talk about his relationship with gabriella "how it felt then" at the end of s3ep1 but in s3ep2 he rationalizes the incest in the present tense, especially when delivering the "*sigh* fuck it. it's different for vampires. that's it" line as if he still believes it (and again, it doesn't bode well wrt the incest being framed as a serious form of abuse or lestat coming to any kind of realization about gabriella's behavior with him if that's how he still thinks of it after the events of qotd)
in s1-s2 there was a clear separation between louis' unreliable, often distorted narration (and no i'm not calling louis a liar, i'm talking about scenes like "i don't consider myself abused. i'm not a victim" or him describing parts of the paris era as idyllic when we could see he was deeply stressed and unhappy in the flashbacks) and how the writers themselves were framing the story- but with s3 and lestat's narration being both undisputed by another character's voice and covering the entire story, the lines are blurred. i don't think the writers are firm enough in what they want lestat's narration to be- what he's supposed to think and feel when he's making the recordings v what he thought and felt in the flashbacks he's describing, how he's changed over time- for this storytelling device to work. i honestly think they should've kept the rockstat modern day plot grounded in "objective" 3rd person pov like the dubai scenes in s1-s2 and only had lestat's narration featured over the flashbacks. i feel like the writers are using it as a crutch to tell not show several key aspects of lestat's character, handwave their pacing issues and skim over the parts of the source material they didn't care about adapting, and the story is a lot weaker for it.
in june we’re about to see a beyond nuclear concoction of racism and victim-blaming so rancid and strong and dense i really might have to pull out my anxiolytics for the first time in over a year

defending the cringe pop culture attempts at slang in tvl by proposing it’ll be a nice time capsule 25 years from now when we’re rewatching and i turn to my partner and say Babe aww they just said “Cheugy” remember that 2 month span where people said that? oh look they said Labubu remember that singular month when people were buying those? and the life-size scarecrow in bed next to me that i’ve stitched to look like hudson williams doesn’t say anything because its mouth is fabric
love it when people are acting naive/obtuse, like i just saw popular tweet "why s1 of iwtv is the only one that doesn't have perfect rating on rotten tomatoes, i felt like it was the best one?". like, dude, the answer is anti-black racism. the show was review bombed. look at the comments under the trailer for s1, it's mostly racists hating on jacob. obviously reviews for s2 & s3 are mostly from the fans of the show! how long people can play ignorant and ask these questions, we all know why & we need to call it out instead.
