This is going to be an embarrassingly, ridiculously long thread that might interest no one, but the reunion scene between Louis and Lestat in episode 8 of Interview with the Vampire is one of the most devastating and beautiful and visceral scenes I've ever seen, and definitely🧵

So much to love here but "They are a match, note for note, which is rare."
There is something rare and completely magic about Sam and Jacob as co-stars.

Literary nerd 🧵 incoming. There is a reference in Brutal Love that made me look up whether Daniel Hart came from a very Christian background as a kid, and he did. With "Show me that bitter star", I thought of "star-crossed lovers", a phrase from Romeo and Juliet, and remembered

[illyrianfields @illyrianfields]

Incredibly fascinating to me, and I'm not sure what it means yet, that Brutal Love's chorus has the lyrics "I am the meteor, colliding / Writing your name in dust / as I fall." As "I" fall. Something about Lestat singing to Louis about a fall, but it's HIM falling.

@dionyjinsus Yeah it's totally extraordinary in how it feels like it could from Lestat writing from his deepest self

@danielmwenda Daniel Hart, I don't know if I'm right about any of this, but either way, Brutal Heart is one of the most stunning songs I've ever heard.

And I think it's pretty brilliant that Daniel Hart seems to be writing Lestat as using both references to Romeo -- VERY much a descendant of the Lelio archetype of the young lover, but one whose story turns tragic and ends in death -- AND him using references to the Book of

@scorpiofangs_ Aw thank you! My pleasure.

[illyrianfields @illyrianfields]

@sirpalesade Haha thank you, this was so fun! I heard "bitter star" and perked up like a bloodhound

[illyrianfields @illyrianfields]

Revelation, which we wouldn't expect from someone with Lestat's anger at God, but which fits so well for someone who might remember these vivid stories of destruction, with an image of a star that kills, from a childhood briefly spent in a monastery.
