hey, if someone wanna follow me because of my old iwtv posts, my warning is that in the next few weeks this blog will be mostly negativity which i post under "iwtv rant" tag. also i still haven't decided if i'll leave or stay in iwtv fandom but i'm definitely not gonna post as much meta about it anymore (and fanart is a random rare thing anyway, so you should not follow me for fanart lol).

it also started making perfect sense to me why rolin wanted iwtv to be one season originally. i think they wanted to make gothic drama and then subvert it and make fun of it in the next season, which would come out like a year after (which is how television used to work). and the rest of the show would be a straightforward self-aware dramedy set in modern times. louis' story would simply exist as his "delusional pov" because "gothic fiction is dumb and cringe" and not as something we were supposed to be very invested in.
it's two seasons and 4 years of discussions surrounding the show that really set the expectations for this show as something that takes itself (mostly) seriously. we really thought that the writers wanted to write gothic story, but no, they were always planning to make fun of it eventually. it's just another gen x writers' room thinking they were clever with metatextual shit. i guess they accidentally made an amazing show with sincerity and emotional weight people has been craving for in the era of self-aware irony, but they were actually planning to go for irony route all along lmao.
the real tragedy of this season is that everyone is acting so ooc and inconsistent that i can't even bring myself to be angry. i'm just bored because it's too nonsensical. the characters seem mostly bored too, because no genuine emotions are allowed in this show anymore.
since anything goes, i'm choosing to villainize lestat. he paid merrick to conjure an illusion of claudia and say those things to louis, so louis could move on and go back to lestat (who was conviniently there to comfort him in his strong arms if needed). armand and daniel actually disrupted his plan. louis secretly figured lestat's plan and that's why he didn't react as strongly as expected. /j
can you believe this happened twice to jacob in the last nine years

"the best claudia scene we ever wrote is in episode 6" don't let this be forgotten :)
well, at least we're almost done watching this. it's like a prolonged torture they keep gaslighting us into enjoying and i'm glad it's almost over. i think i'm gonna block iwtv tag for a year or two after the final episode. let me know if they somehow fix this thing in s4. i mean... if they'll say that it was all lestat's weird dream maybe lmao. i really don't wanna unfollow my iwtv mutuals, so if you all find new hyperfixations after that, i'd be glad…
i don't regret loving iwtv s1&2 btw. i mostly regret that i trusted the writers because i thought we had something there and i was wrong. i'll probably forget s3 pretty soon because it's so easily forgettable and then i'll be able to rewatch the first two seasons. if anyone wants to make a fandom space for iwtv without tvl, i wouldn't mind participating (when i'm done grieving).
incredibly sorry for the black writers and directors of the previous two seasons who thought they were building something. I am so sorry that your work was not respected and now dismissed by this new season. I am so sorry that the love and care with which you crafted the characters, especially of Louis and Claudia was so resented that the current writers' room chose to dilute all. I am so sorry that you are having to see the anti blackness in full force on a formerly black led show and everything you worked on- your vision- it was all wiped off. I am so sorry to Jacob and Delainey for having to work with those scripts.
this does not make a lick of sense. they fully fully lobotomized louis it’s over.
god. he did not give. a single fuck he just walked it off. literally a walk in the park
i’m so nauseously upset for claudia i just don’t have any words

does anyone remember the amc show interview with the vampire? one of the greatest things television gave us in its era. heartbreaking that it ended after two seasons when those characters were so beautifully crafted. i really wish we could’ve had more.
oh, ep6. also known between journalists as "the one that's gonna save us all". and not like. a lowkey the worst written episode in the whole season if we don't count the first half of ep2. jacob, sam and delainey carried a lot with their acting, but it didn't save the episode for me. i bet it's gonna be magically rated 9.5 or something on imdb.
here's the notes i made while watching:
- at least they alluded to louis preferring not to sleep in the coffin...
- why "tone change" had to be them trying to write "natural dialogue" where everyone is speaking over each other but it also sounds artificial as hell??
- though tbf lestat speaking over louis does sound familiar. the scene where they walk on street reminded me a bit of their banter in s1.
- gods, lestat's jealousy is hilarious, like he can't stop booing for a second.
- "why are you being nice"? what this even mean... is lestat acting nice? is there a new kind of nice?
- "i tried to respect you daniel" - why do they keep trying to explain the obvious plot holes, why they can't sit with them, we all already made up our own headcanons about them. but yeah, i guess a bit passive aggression from louis is cute.
- daniel hates the fact that louis and lestat are getting along, it's so funny. you did it, my dude (he's not actually my dude, just to be clear).
- the acting is saving these scenes, but overall, the scene with louis, lestat and daniel wasn't so bad.
- "to provoke you out of depression... and then punish" - well finally we're getting somewhere, look at this.
- the writers making fun of louis' speech pattern is very ironic because it shows so much insecurity from the writers... where's my gothic show? why it turned into self-aware (but not actually self-aware) comedy like literally every show on the television now?
- "it's hard being him" and laughing, oh you can tell that laugh came right from jacob anderson himself lmao.
- lestat putting all those flying tricks to impress louis is actually kinda cute.
- the song scene was great in theory, but gabriella didn't need to be there. and not because i don't understand why she had to be there. it's mostly because louis looked very serious like he's about to cry and gabriella looked like homophobic dog meme.
- "i'll tell you in a car" - oh no, meeting your mother-in-law never goes well. at least she calls him "belle".
- "does the room have hbo?" "armand's in town" - gods, you can tell the gut writing is really hitting us with these "natural dialogues" again. aww. look at the writers trying so hard.
- lestat walking away from gabriella with his fucking cape flowing behind him like darth vader planning to kill a bunch of kids is unintentionally hilarious.
- daniel and armand making youtube video is so fucking... i'm like... sigh.
- the scene with louis finding out about gabrielle was... okay, i need to think about it a little more. but it did remind me of something and i need to gather my thoughts before i say something annoying. for now i'll only say that it happened way too quickly and didn't let the emotion sit.
- louis mentioned being sexually assaulted by his cousin in passing like it's a crude joke (?) and lestat is like "louis! that's not like that" (???) i guess we crossed "women can't rape men" line and rushed past "gay men can't be raped" event horizon.
- i checked and it took them 6 minutes to deal with this whole incest conflict. just if you were curious, it's around the same amount of time they dealt with "the band found out lestat is a vampire" conflict. did they have some kind of time quota for each story beat?
- "the implication was that i killed her" - well, lestat, my dear nemesis, you could also waste a couple of minutes to explain what happened in paris then.
- outside of weird as hell claudia being antiblack, which i was prepared for, the whole scene is like... idk. "here is why claudia hates louis. and it's our bad writing choices a lot of people found ooc in the first place". if they didn't include the forced bruce storyline, it'd land better. and louis mentioning bruce (i lol'd) like it was his idea to kill him. did the writers forgot what they wrote 4 episodes ago?...
- was it even claudia? she seemingly didn't recognize louis at first or i misunderstood something? i mean, claudia getting extra pissed and mean when she found out that louis is back with lestat seems very in-character.
- the scene is just not hitting right, i'm sorry. it wasn't personal enough for my tastes. we had two seasons of claudia and all the ways in which louis and lestat hurt her and this is what they've come up with? at least it took more than 6 minutes i guess...
- what is even this reaction....... both of them on a verge of yawning. i guess i can relate a little bit ngl.
- and we're back to discussing gabriella. the character we all wanted to discuss right now.
- cutting off their heads would be like the best ending for this season really. we don't need ep7, just... leave them out of the misery of reciting the lines from this fucking script
- the post-episode... oh they didn't really think about implications at all, huh. like, not a single thought in that writers' room or between people on set... they thought they ate with that...
people are unironically saying that louis was selfish for talking to lestat about the regina situation when there were other more important things to discuss between them. like... louis asked for help, lestat came to help louis. louis was experiencing psychosis episode induced by grief and was explaining what happened. i mean, i've been in similar situations many times. even if my friends were at some point callous to me when i needed their help (sometimes for a good reason, sometimes not), if i came to help them, i'd wanna listen to their situation and what i can do. because it's my decision: to be there and help. instead of being like "yeah but you didn't care when i needed you last month!" etc. it's literally childish. you can discuss your grievances later at better time lmao?? the way people have no social awareness whatsoever and you can tell they have no real friends too...
that said, i'm glad that louis is fighting back against lestat, i've been waiting for this moment. it's the way it's written that drives me up the wall. people don't talk like that. the whole season is written like classic tumblr joke where someone reblogs their own post and adds surprising one-liners in the reblogs. i can imagine lestat adding #justiceforantoinette in his last reblog. i hate this so much
man this writing thing is easy as hell

oh no i just saw a new clip from ep6 with loustat talking, and it's so bad i actually felt kinda sick in my stomach from it lmao. why it's so badly written... kill me at this point, not even jam can save this for me.
Hi, i'd love to hear your thoughts on this if you're okay with me asking: what if the racist comment from daniel wasn't actively daniel and rather lestat's imagination of what daniel might have said? lestat did say during louis and daniel's meeting he wouldn't know what was said since he wasn't there in person, so could this not also apply to everything else happening this season as it's all told by lestat (who already minimized or didn't understand racially charged remarks during s1) and the audience is "listening" to his retelling on the vinyls even if other characters speak
It's complicated because on the one hand I can absolutely see Lestat's version of Daniel being a kind of dialed up version of reality, making him extra rude, extra loud mouthed, and also tacking on him being loudly racist and homophobic too. But if that was the case I think they should have made that more overt in Lestat and Daniel's dynamic, even if it was just a throwaway line from Lestat implying that Daniel is probably a racist or something, just something to lay a trail of breadcrumbs to that. It's annoying because I don't want this show to have to hold my hand and explain it's intentions, but they've kind of dug their own grave with this one.
The problem I have is that the show has kind of lost any grace I might have been willing to give it by being so loud and insistent about this season being something entirely new and trying to separate it from the previous two seasons. If this was Interview With The Vampire Season 3, I might have been a lot more willing to let my trust in the writers from their racial storytelling and sensitivity carry forward into this season, but instead they've axed their Black creatives and hailed this as a separate project, something that can be watched without the first two seasons (I do not agree AT ALL that that is the case either), something that an audience who didn't enjoy the first two seasons can love. And I just have to question who exactly this new audience that they're trying to reach is, because unfortunately the more the season goes on the more it looks like they're trying to bring back a white audience who were alienated by a show which centered around a Black man and his racial identity.
I said this when I was talking about the pronouns joke in episode 1 too but I just don't think a room of cis, predominantly white writers should be dropping "jokes" like these because even if there is intention behind it, even if it's going to be examined and called out for what it is later down the line, I don't think casual transphobia and anti-blackness are things that an audience of people who are directly affected by these things should have to just sit with. Gothic horror is all about sowing discomfort in your audience and letting them sit with that discomfort, but it's not the white audience who are having to sit with that discomfort, it's not the cis audience who are having to sit with that discomfort, it's minorities who were already living with that discomfort.
