"In all his fear, even Louis knows that what calls out to him is the life he’s never allowed himself to desire, the picture his heart paints but he’d never allow his hands to touch"

@kellixboyle I read parts of the other one and I was like man I’m so glad I could hopefully erase that from everyone’s minds lol. I’m truly so glad you enjoyed!
omg we MUST talk. genuinely my favorite thing to talk about
Read this gorgeous piece about the beauty of queerness in IWTV and monster media on Autostraddle instead of that absolute garbage Slate published yesterday that didn’t even attempt to veil its contempt for queer & POC viewers

I haven’t used twitter seriously in awhile so coming on here to see so many folks loving on my article is literally making me the happiest I’ve been
I promised myself I’d find a way to write about IWTV at least once this year. to see so many of you resonating w it is so special
I, too, will always have a soft spot for monstrous creatures as a metaphor for queerness and this has just become my favorite essay on this and how it plays on Interview With the Vampire
A gorgeous thoughtful read on queerness, horror and Interview With The Vampire.
No screenshots, just click through and give the full piece a few mins of your time
horror and monstrous creatures as a metaphor for queerness and otherness i ADORE you!!!! (give this wonderful piece a read because it’s exactly what the show is all about)
ABSOLUTE BALM to the soul. Thank you AJ Mason, @autostraddle for this enchanting, accurate piece of #iwtv#InterviewWithTheVampire
The real meaning behind that church scene, many in the fandom should read this and stop 'Lestat forced Louis into vampirism by killing his friends'.
