the implication is lowkey that armand not only erased gabriella but also self-inserted into her role as the sceptic who saw it coming all along. in line with him claiming that he’s already been thinking lestat’s ideas for 50 years and planned for him to change the coven’s minds
Realized something. 3x03 box scene repeats and partly inverts the 2x03 second crypt scene convo where Lestat and Armand talk of Nicki. This show doesn't usually repeat stuff. Was it just to show that Armand simply changed his tune after becoming infatuated with Les, or...?
My God I've realized that so many fans' reactions & opinions largely stem from whether they find S Reid attractive or ugly in a scene or not. Like if he's acting "ugly" in any way, the scene is essentially ruined for them... even if his acting choices make complete sense 😐
@iwtvdetails@mylelio hear me out! because the villain is supposed to be philosophically in the wrong, viewing lestat as the villain gives some people the impression that his views on vampirism are meant to be dismantled, when in the grand scheme of things both louis and armand learn from him instead
@iwtvdetails@mylelio the way people talk about it, you’d think louis’ arc is about finding a cure from vampirism instead of learning to appreciate it as a gift :/
When I first read TVL,I remember thinking "not sure fans would be into a song about a rocker's complex relationship with his mom". Just goes to show, never doubt the Power of Lestat, cuz here I am 20 yrs later singing along to the absolute banger that is When I Call Out Your Name
my hot take is neither louis nor lestat remember the exact colour of the skirt. louis remembers liking it and lestat remembers disliking it. that’s it. people remember feelings better than any factual information
every time i remember that lestat claims claudia’s skirt was chartreuse a part of me dies sorry that is so ugly to imagine so i’m choosing to believe he was wrong about it 😭
afterwards louis withdraws from lestat and seeks out the comfort of regina’s presence. because he was painfully reminded how his love destroys people he loves most (paul, lestat, claudia). regina is a way to feel and express love again without the risk of harming your loved ones
🧵 thinking about lestat attributing louis’ difficulty with processing grief to his crippling guilt, and perhaps it is as well a major factor why he rapidly falls into the regina psychosis after visiting the fang gang lair
later bruce confirms that he has read the book and knows of all claudia’s suffering and isn’t sorry. louis walks into a room that symbolises the violations lestat and claudia went through and finds his own fingerprints all over it. his gestures of love turned against them
