Returned to X for TVL & TVC
Being #Ldpdl 'fans' who NEVER got a single thing right about him, and over 4 yrs you hope Jacob Anderson would vindicate your HC, except he never comes through and instead tramples all over your delusion. So you say he's wrong.
Imagine if you admit you're wrong and move on.
#TheVampireLestat’s Sam Reid and Jacob Anderson turn it all the way up. ❤️🔥🤘🩸 Sink your fangs into this behind-the-scenes look at the actors’ GQ HYPE shoot.

you can write as many delusional think pieces as you want about how the cast hate this show and the direction it’s taking, but their actual feelings can be seen on their faces and the way they talk about it, and it’s with absolute love and admiration
@streidupdates I actually received my copy this morning from Magazines Direct (in the meantime I'd bought a copy in a shop). This was after I complained via Customer Service link about not getting my copy
Those complaining about how AMC is adapting TVC need to consider how adaptations work, for the media (movie/theatre/TV) and era. One of the best adaptations of Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet was West Side Story - different time, place, people, words, but faithful to the story.
@CreativeSpoonie@satansnightowl7@iitachiswife you're probably right - they like Lestat as a concept, but not as he's been cast. Plus I think a lot of the 'hate' is performative, playing to an audience - booing to be part of a crowd. It's a pity, they'd enjoy the show more if they accepted Sam's Lestat for all that he is
@CreativeSpoonie@satansnightowl7@iitachiswife as a fan of Lestat, you get that he loves all the characters in TVC -regardless- which in turn means appreciating them as they're all part of his story. However, there are those who'd like to erase him, not accepting the fact he becomes the central character, not Louis or Armand
@streidupdates Love the mention of The Zombies 1968 album, hinting at Lestat's listening habits in the time he spent apart from Louis. A brilliant album
3/3 But at the end of the day, if it's transformative fic or your own personal fantasy - fine.
But throwing a strop because the show isn't going to deliver that fantasy is embarrassing. You may as well start bitching about the fact there are vampires in the show who kill people
It is amusing how fans of IWTV insist on non-canon ships being the true ships and the only ones that count. Despite the books and the showrunner and the cast all saying that Louis is destined to be with Lestat.
1/3
2/3 Fandom allows us to fantasise about our favourite ships - thro' art and fics and enjoy that with others who feel the same. Always has and always will.
I write Outlander fic where Jamie either ends up with John, or there's a throuple and been attacked for writing m/m!
